Chapter 65 Ken Won't Be Angry
Natalie adjusted her breath because she did not want him to hear anything wrong. After all, she had just hit an attacker in an underground parking lot and raced on the street.
"I'm in Maggie's apartment." Natalie moved the phone closer to Maggie and said, "I'm going to have dinner with her before going home."
Maggie smartly interrupted, "Ken, Nat is with me. I'll send her back after dinner. Don't worry."
"Are you together with her all the time today?"
Natalie's ears perked up because she knew something was wrong. The schemed man was trying to induce Maggie into telling him something. So, she hurriedly winked at her.
But Maggie did not understand the deep meaning in his words, so she nodded heavily, "Yes, we met at the mall and went shopping together."
Maggie's face was not shown in the video, and Natalie had not mentioned meeting her at the mall. But Maggie had confessed without being pressed.
Hearing her words, Kendrick replied in a calm voice, "I see."
Natalie took the phone over and said with complicated emotions in her heart, "I'll be back around ten."
Hearing him keep silent, she said, "Well, I will be back at eight!"
"OK!" Kendrick replied without asking any more questions.
After Natalie hung up the phone, Maggie said happily, "I told you that you were thinking too much!"
She then confidently continued, "He doesn't know it at all."
Natalie looked at her with pity, thinking she was indeed naïve. No! she should pity herself now! So, she slumped on the sofa and pondered with a frown.
Did Kendrick know about it? If he knew, how should she explain it when she went back? Maybe, she just needed to wait for him to ask. But when he asked, she should...
Natalie was confused, thinking this matter was more complicated than the Lagrangian function equation.
It was all Maggie's fault. If she had not spilled the beans, things would not have become so troublesome!
Even if Kendrick had recognized her in the video, she would just need to explain for herself. Now, she might have to lie for Maggie too.
Thinking of this, she sighed, turned to look at Maggie, and said, "Peel an apple for me."
Maggie replied pitifully, "But I don't know how to peel apples."
Well, she had forgotten Maggie had people peel apples and shrimp for her every day.
Natalie picked up an apple from the fruit basket and handed it to her, saying, "Wash it! You know how to wash apples, right?"

"Mr. Ramsey, the video has been handed to the police, and they will identify the attacker based on his facial features soon."
Nigel continued, "The full version of the surveillance video is still being downloaded."
"No need." Kendrick stared at the computer screen, put his index finger on his lips, and said, "Go and find out who Maggie has offended recently."
"Does this matter have anything to do with Maggie?"
After Kendrick reached out to tap on the Bluetooth keyboard, the picture on the computer screen instantly enlarged. Then, he pointed at it and said, "This is her car."
Even though only a car logo and the upper part of the license plate were captured, he had recognized it at a glance. Moreover, Maggie had admitted it herself.
When Nigel was about to go out, Kendrick stopped him, wrote down a license plate number on the paper, and handed it to him, saying, "Check the traffic violation information about this car today." "Yes, Mr. Ramsey!"
After Nigel went out, Kendrick watched the video again. The attacker's target was not Natalie. Otherwise, he would not have talked with her for tens of seconds before launching the attack. After all, it would make him lose the upper hand. Moreover, if he had not looked back after being distracted, Natalie would not have lashed him in the face with the metal chain so smoothly. Her attacks were ruthless and accurate! In the end, the attacker took out a knife and slashed at her calf with his right hand.
Kendrick raised his hand to stroke his chin and narrowed his black eyes.
Twenty minutes later, he received the traffic violation information about the car.
Speeding, driving through a red light, reverse driving, and changing lanes without a signal.
And he had also received videos of the car violating traffic regulations.
Since getting out of MAX Mall, the driver had been on the verge of losing his or her driver's license forever. But Kendrick could see the driver had good driving skills and was bold and careful. After avoiding a collision with a truck, the car got rid of the car following it and soon merged into the traffic flow during rush hour.
If the driver had not been skilled or calm enough, there would have been a severe car accident, and the News Channel would have reported it.
Maggie?
No!
She had just obtained her driver's license and could barely drive alone.
But if it was not Maggie, who would it be?
Kendrick clasped his hands and pressed them against his forehead.
He knew Natalie had a driver's license. Before they had gotten married, the Quinn family had sent all her personal information and hobbies to the Ramsey family. And Old Mr. Ramsey was very satisfied with her.
Kendrick raised his head, leaned back, and pursed his thin lips tightly.
After a while, he asked Nigel in and ordered, "Delete all these videos."
Nigel hastily nodded. When he turned around to leave, he saw Kendrick stretch out to rub his eyebrows as if having a headache. So, he wondered whether the woman in the video was Mrs. Ramsey. But he didn't dare to ask. However, he became sure about it after a second thought. If it were not for her, Mr. Ramsey would not have canceled a meeting to deal with this matter.
While waiting for the takeaway, Natalie followed Maggie into her walking wardrobe to change her pants.
The overall design of Maggie's apartment was like a princess's castle. And she was also as kind-hearted as a princess. Sometimes, she was much too kind.
She was dearly loved by his parents and brothers, so her life was supposed to be smooth and happy forever. If she had not met Jared Brewer, she would not suffer so much.
When the sliding door of a wardrobe automatically opened, Maggie stretched out her hand and said, "These pants are new. I haven't removed the tags yet. Choose the one pair you like." Natalie chose a pair of black sports pants and said, "This one!"
"Nat, how tall are you?" Maggie suddenly asked.
Natalie answered casually, "5.5 feet."
5.5 feet was her net height. So, even when wearing flat shoes, she looked much taller than the average girl.
Maggie gestured with her hand and asked, "Really?"
She did not think Natalie was 5.6 feet tall.
"But we look about the same height. I'm 5.4 feet tall," she said.
Only then did Natalie remember that she had changed her body. Now, she was only 5.4 feet tall, 0.2 feet shorter than before.
She stood in front of the mirror and looked at her face, feeling familiar yet strange.
Seeing her suddenly fall silent, Maggie comforted her, saying, "But you will grow taller as long as you do more stretching."
"Generally speaking, it's impossible. The epiphyseal line of adults is closed, so the bones cannot continue to grow. Unless you undergo bone surgery, you will not grow taller anymore. Those who say stretching can increase your height are trying to trick you into buying lessons!" Natalie suddenly said.
Maggie was speechless, not wanting to talk to her anymore!
Natalie looked at her watch after putting on the pants and asked, "Why hasn't the takeaway been delivered yet? I promised to return home before eight. I don't want to be late."
Maggie asked with a frown, "Will Ken scold you?"
Probably not.
"I made a promise." Natalie said solemnly, "So, I must keep my word."
Maggie bit her lower lip and said, "But women have the right to be late! What's more, even if you're late, Ken won't blame you!"
