Chapter 739 The humiliation of the Hastings family
Since she had a disdainful attitude towards them, how could she be intimidated?
"Mr. Hastings Senior, which sentence did I say wrong just now?" Natalie calmly retorted, even smiling on her face.
"Grandfather, look at her attitude. Not only does she show no remorse, but she's even laughing!"
Standing next to Mr. Hastings Senior was a young woman, who appeared to be the same age as Natalie. Natalie felt a sense of familiarity and soon remembered that she had seen this woman when she visited the Hastings family and had tea with the female members of the family. It seemed that she was the daughter of Mr. Hastings Senior's second son.
This would make her Mr. Hastings Senior's cousin's granddaughter.
With disdain, the cousin's granddaughter glanced at Natalie and continued to speak in a sarcastic tone, "Grandfather, if it weren't for this woman, cousin wouldn't have ended up in prison. It was all because of her relentless pursuit of something that wasn't even a big deal. Cousin's current situation is all because of this woman's ruthlessness. Great-grandmother always adored cousin the most. If she were still alive and saw what this woman, Hyde... I can't imagine how heartbroken she would be."
When the cousin's granddaughter said the first half of her sentence, Mr. Hastings Senior didn't show much reaction. However, during the second half, the old man visibly became emotional, showing signs of both excitement and anger.
The other members of the Hastings family all voiced their agreement, their eyes filled with malice or anticipation of the spectacle.
But Natalie had no interest in getting involved in the past of the Hastings family.
Natalie, who had initially maintained a polite demeanor, was now too lazy to uphold it. There was a slight change in her expression, and her entire demeanor transformed.
Rebellious and unrestrained, as if prepared to face trouble.
"Natalie, no matter what, it is because of you that our beloved daughter of the Hastings family has jeopardized her future. As for the truth behind the entanglements, who knows? Oliver wields immense power, and it would be effortless for him to manipulate anything," a middle-aged man spoke.
Natalie recognized him as Susan's father, James.
James continued, "Natalie, I can understand that no one has taught you about tolerance and kindness, considering your background. However, I would advise you to leave yourself a way out. You are still young, and you should consider having a backup plan. Right now, you have Oliver backing you, but can he support you for a lifetime? The Windsor brothers used to dote on Susan, but what happened later?"
"Miss Watson, the Hastings family's territory does not welcome you. Please leave immediately!" Mr. Hastings Senior issued another order, "Not only this store, but all the properties of the Hastings family will not open their doors to you either!"
"You make it sound like the entire country is your Hastings family's territory," Natalie chuckled. "To put it bluntly, what do you, the Hastings family, amount to in front of the Windsor Group and RK Corporation? Mr. Hastings Senior, using the Hastings family's properties to suppress me is truly an absurd and unintelligent act. As for Samuel's words, what qualifications do you have to give me advice while you protect your daughter who repeatedly tries to destroy my marriage and harm me? Keep your advice for Susan in five years!"
Mr. Hastings Senior was still pondering over what "unintelligent" meant.
Natalie apologized to the filming crew and announced that she would not attend tonight's celebration dinner. She turned around and left, with no nostalgia for this place.
To put it bluntly, this group of Hastings family members made her feel disgusted!
She rarely harbored such emotions towards anyone, not even the Watson family, but this group...
The filming crew didn't understand English, and they watched Natalie and this group of people who suddenly appeared, speaking to each other one after another, without understanding a word.
They couldn't understand, not at all.
It felt like the usually calm Natalie suddenly exploded.
But it was a silent, cold explosion. So terrifying!
Joseph briefly translated the contents of Natalie and the Hastings family's confrontation to the filming crew, including Susan's involvement as a mistress and a murderer. Finally, he also added, "Since Joseph is not attending the celebration dinner, I, who came to help, will not go either. Have fun, everyone."
After saying that, he walked away directly.
The remaining members of the filming crew looked at each other, some unable to react.
"Please, gentlemen and ladies, come inside!" The manager received a signal from the Hastings family and said earnestly in fluent English, "Our boss says that your expenses today will be covered by us, and our chef will prepare the best food for you to enjoy. Thank you for coming!"
Susan navigated the fashion circle, and the Hastings family had some connections to the fashion industry. Leading this team was the director Joseph, whom many luxury brands liked to hire for their advertisements. He had numerous contacts and resources. If Susan wanted to return to the fashion world, he was a suitable bridge for her.
"No, thank you," Joseph replied with gentlemanly manners, but his words had nothing to do with gentlemanliness. "I didn't know about the relationship between your store and Susan before coming here. I greatly admire Wine, so I strongly dislike plagiarism. Additionally, your store expelled customers who were already inside for personal reasons, a behavior I completely don't understand."
The expression on the faces of the Hastings family was unpleasant.
Why were these foreigners all taking Natalie's side?
"And lastly, why are you all so self-righteous while bullying a lady like Natalie?" Joseph wore an expression of incomprehension as he and his team left, completely unconcerned about the reaction of the Hastings family.
