Chapter 24 Covered in Kiss Marks
Natalie spent the entire morning at home recovering. After lunch, Renee called her over.
As soon as she stepped into the villa, Renee spotted her and immediately confronted her. "Natalie, where were you last night?"
While speaking, Renee noticed a kiss mark on Natalie's neck and zeroed in on it like a predator. "Were you out sleeping with some random guy? I knew it, you slut. Don't forget you're Alice now. If Mr. Howard finds out, Avery will make you pay!"
"Is that so? Then You'd better keep your mouth shut, Renee," Natalie replied calmly, though her eyes were cold.
Renee was stunned that Natalie dared to talk back. She had no idea how to respond for a moment.
Natalie chuckled. "You know I'm Alice now, right? If people find out, Alice's reputation will be ruined too."
Renee's face turned red with anger, yet she couldn't come up with a retort.
Finally, she snapped, "Ruben invited Alice to dinner at the Howard family. Get ready."
Natalie felt her breath catch.
So soon? She wasn't ready to face Adrian again.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up!" Renee shouted, throwing a set of Alice's clothes at her.
Natalie pressed her lips together, took the clothes, and went to change.
As soon as she left, Renee rushed to the garden to complain to Avery, who was sipping coffee leisurely. "Avery, Natalie was out all night with some guy. I just scolded her, and she had the nerve to threaten me with Alice's reputation."
"What?" Avery frowned.
Natalie always seemed so timid; she didn't seem like that kind of person.
Renee quickly added, "It's true! I saw the kiss marks myself. Who knows which guy she was with?"
Avery snorted. "Like mother, like daughter."
She was just like her disgraceful mother!
Otherwise, Curtis wouldn't have been fooled by that woman!
Twenty-three years ago, Rosalie shamelessly tried to sneak into Curtis's bed. Luckily, Avery caught her in time.
She glanced at Renee and said, "By the way, tell the hospital not to give Rosalie any good medicine. As long as she doesn't die, it's fine. Using imported drugs every day is a waste of money."
Renee replied immediately, "Got it, but what about Curtis?"
"Just do it discreetly so that he doesn't find out," Avery said dismissively. Even if he did find out, it wouldn't matter. Rosalie was just a maid, after all.
Meanwhile, in the study at Riverside Villa, Adrian sat in his chair, eyes closed, but his mind was replaying last night's events. His soul was in turmoil and that room was filled with a scent that heightened desire.
This kind of thing was only used in underground clubs, not by decent people. It was a common scent in those shady places.
And Natalie even went so far as to fake scars to impersonate Alice.
To deceive him, she would stop at nothing!
He had a sliver of doubt about whether the woman at the engagement party was Natalie, but now? No way.
