Chapter 175 You Think You're the Equal of Her?
In the end, Natalie's hand didn't land on Evelyn's face. Before Evelyn could even protest, someone intercepted it.
"Dermot..."
Dermot's sudden appearance made Natalie's heart skip a beat. She was afraid that he would be angry, and she felt extremely uneasy.
Evelyn also looked at the man who appeared in front of her. He had just walked out from the front, probably having gone around the corner to avoid being seen by Natalie.
Huh, it seemed like he was afraid of being discovered by Natalie.
Sure enough, he was leading her on while also fearing that Natalie might find out. Despicable scum!
But that wasn't what infuriated Evelyn the most. She was angry at herself.
Knowing what kind of person Dermot was, she had been deceived by him just now, almost...
Just thinking about it made her angry, and she wished she could slap him twice to soothe her feelings.
Dermot still grasped Natalie’s wrist, his strength was formidable, and the pain was becoming unbearable for her.
"Dermot, I..." With teary eyes, she wanted to explain for herself.
However, before she could finish speaking, Dermot let go of her and said in a tone that seemed to admonish but was doting, "Dr. Kyte is Grandfather's guest. It's a bit impolite to treat guests like this."
Natalie was stunned, unable to believe it.
But quickly, she realized what was happening and looked at Evelyn. "I'm sorry, Ms. Kyte. I was too agitated just now and shouldn't have offended you."
Evelyn didn't say anything, her gaze fell on Dermot.
So, is this the explanation this man gives to himself?
At this moment, Evelyn felt heartbroken, unable to catch her breath.
What happened at the corner of the wall just now keeps replaying in her mind. Dermot, however, is protecting Natalie without caring the slightest bit about the fact that she almost slapped Evelyn.
She remains silent, so Natalie has to speak up again, "Ms. Kyte, you are a mature adult. So you wouldn't hold a grudge against me, right?"
"Of course, Dr. Kyte has always been generous," Dermot also says.
Watching the two of them in perfect sync, Evelyn only wants to quickly leave this place and never lay eyes on them again.
"Of course, because if Mr. Doyle hadn't stopped me just now, I might have given Miss Barns a few slaps. Then no one would be innocent," she smiles, not lying, as she had indeed had that intention just now.
Natalie's expression turns cold, not expecting Evelyn to be so blunt.
Before the two of them can speak again, Evelyn confidently walks towards the door, "It's getting late. I won't disturb you two any longer. I'll leave now."
Dermot doesn't stop her and watches her figure disappear into the garden, then he immediately calls Bruce, "Arrange for someone to take her home and ensure her safety."
After hanging up the phone, he looks at Natalie in front of him.
Being looked at like that by Dermot, Natalie feels uneasy, "Dermot, I was just too impulsive just now. I was afraid of losing you. I didn't mean to hurt her on purpose."
"Afraid of losing me?" Dermot smirks, as if hearing something funny.
"Dermot..."
"And you think you're the equal of her?" Dermot's face turns cold, not showing any mercy in his words.
Natalie is caught off guard by these sudden words. Wasn't he helping her just now? Why is he acting like this now?
"Do you really think I want to marry you?" he says, laughing at himself.
"If you don’t, then why haven't you clarified it to the outside world?" Natalie doesn't understand. She didn't expect Dermot to bring up this matter at this time.
Dermot looks at her but doesn't explain his reasons.
But Natalie is not stupid. She quickly realizes the truth, considering Dermot's attitude towards Evelyn just now. She instantly falls into madness.
