That slap came to a halt in the middle of the air.
Natalie grabbed Jada's wrist forcefully, leaving the latter unable to move an inch. With an incredulous expression, Jada snapped, “Is there no law anymore? How dare you act so haughty? Are you trying to make a move on me?”
Hearing those words, Natalie broke into a burst of mocking laughter. “Is the pot calling the kettle black? Watch the surveillance footage, and everything will become clear to you at once! You're old enough; I hope you know how you should behave at a place like a hospital!”
“You—” Jada tried to break free from Natalie's clutch, only to realize that she could not do so.
A cold glint flashed across Natalie's gaze as she narrowed them.
Nevertheless, she did not let her temper blow up on the account that Jerry had landed himself in a severe condition after trying to save her.
“You'd better know your place!”
Only then did Natalie let go of Jada's hand.
Without hesitation, Bridger rushed up to Jada to support her. At the same time, his gaze coincidentally met with that of Natalie, and all he did was instinctively lower his head and look away to avoid her piercing gaze. That mere few seconds of exchanging glances threw the man in total defeat even though he was decades older than the young lady.
Retracting her gaze, Natalie turned and intended to leave.
Looking at her retreating back, Bridger felt a raging storm brewing inside him.
He had hired someone with the intention of getting her killed in a car crash. It was not only his attempt to vent his frustrations but also to create the opportunity to turn the tables for Olivia's lawsuit.
But the situation now made him believe that Natalie knew that he was the mastermind behind the car accident.
Judging from her reaction, she doesn't look like she intends to give up pursuing the matter even after Jerry saves her from the accident. This woman is too vicious! If not for her, Olivia's marriage wouldn't have fizzled into bubbles. Jerry wouldn't be so seriously injured either. Most importantly, Farrington Jewelry wouldn't have gotten into this terrible state while in my hands! The Jones family is, after all, considerably prominent in Yaleview. But because of her, we've now become a bane everyone avoids. It's all her fault!
With those thoughts in mind, Bridger felt the blood in his body rushing up to his head, and his eyes gradually reddened in anger.
Pulling out a Swiss Army knife from his pocket and unfolding the blade, he lifted the weapon into the air and ferociously charged forward in the direction of Natalie.
“Go to hell!”
Bridger's behavior was too sudden and out of everyone's expectations.
Natalie had never expected that the Swiss Army knife Bridger carried with him could successfully pass through the hospital's security check. By the time she recovered from her trance and tilted her body to avoid his attack, she had suffered a cut on her arm. Almost immediately, blood began sleeping through the wound.
The fury raging in Bridger only grew more intense after catching sight of the fresh red blood.
“It's all your fault, you trouble maker! You've caused such a huge mess for the Jones family! I will kill you today!”
While trying to dodge Bridger's attack, Natalie had her hand clutching the wound to alleviate the excruciating pain.
Apart from the weapon in his grip, the man hurtling his attacks in a disorderly manner also gave her a tough time dodging him as he almost resembled someone who had lost his sanity.
Consumed by horror and shock, the hospital personnel and patients hurriedly hid at various corners to avoid getting harmed by Bridger. To ensure the crowd's safety, Natalie tried to direct the man to an empty spot while trying her best to dodge his knife.
Staggering backward, she finally came to a point where she found her back leaning against the cold wall. Needless to say, there was no more way for her to retreat.
“Natalie, I can't wait to see where else you can hide!” Sinister laughter broke out as Bridger panted desperately for some fresh air. His eyes had turned bloodshot at that point.
Right then, Natalie saw a silver masked man exuding a chilly aura marching toward them.
“You're the one who's about to die.” The corners of her lips curled upward into a smirk.
“You wretch! I guess you're still as stubborn even when death is close at hand, huh?” As Bridger said that, he swung the dagger in the air, about to direct it toward her chest.
Unlike how she tried to dodge his attack earlier, Natalie stood there blankly this round.
Shocked, Bridger furrowed his brows. Though things are progressing so smoothly, isn't this too good to be true?
Unfortunately, there was no time for him to dwell on the situation. Before long, a sudden external force acted on his shoulder joint, and in the next second, a crisp, loud crack resounded into the air. It goes without saying that he had clearly heard his shoulder bones shattering into pieces.
