Chapter 535 Compromise
If this was two months back, Natalie would've jumped at the chance, no questions asked.
For Rosalie, she'd drop everything.
But now? Things were different.
Natalie’s stunning face was cold as ice. She just said, "Oh, really?"
Avery was floored that Natalie wasn’t biting. She watched Natalie’s face, thinking, 'No way Natalie doesn’t care about Rosalie anymore. She’s gotta be faking it. Rosalie’s her weak spot. As long as I’ve got Rosalie, I can pull Natalie’s strings.'
Avery said, "Natalie, this expert is my friend’s dad. He’s been retired for ages and doesn’t come out for just anyone. Even the old mayor of Vachilit had to pull strings to get him to treat his mom. You should be grateful."
"Mrs. Cullen, if that’s your offer, you can leave. Don’t waste my time." With that, she turned to go.
Avery didn’t see that coming and jumped up, panicking, "Natalie, what do you want?"
Natalie hadn’t really figured out what she wanted.
She looked at Avery, emotions of all sorts swirling inside her.
Did she hate Avery?
Hell yes.
She’d been crushed by the Cullen family since she was a kid. She’d lost a child.
But her life had been swapped with Rosalie’s.
The woman in front of her was actually her blood.
Maybe that tiny bit of blood connection made her feel a sting in her chest.
Natalie said, "I haven’t decided yet, but you owe me one. My agent’s already recorded it. You can’t back out, or all the dirt you’ve got on me will go public. The backlash coming to Alice will be even worse than now. Mrs. Cullen, I trust you won’t go back on your word."
Avery was shocked at how sharp Natalie had become. "Fine, I agree."
A hot news story blew up on Facebook.
[Natalie And Alice Are Besties] quickly grabbed everyone’s attention.
Natalie posted on Facebook: [Alice and I go way back. We roast each other all the time. This is just a mix-up. Sorry for the fuss.]
Alice quickly reposted and replied: [Nat, dinner at my place tonight.]
Natalie’s eyes narrowed a bit, and she replied with one word: [Sure.]
[So Natalie and Alice are tight. Why didn’t they say so earlier?]
[Yeah.]
Netizens threw in their two cents.
Then Karen hired some folks to flood the comments with praise for Alice and steer the conversation.
[My bestie and I insult each other all the time. Alice probably didn’t think her words would blow up like this.]
[Yeah, looking at it now, Alice is pretty cute. She slays. I heard she got hurt and has been recovering at home. She looks a bit like Natalie, but with a rounder face. That’s normal.]
[They’re just friends messing around. No big deal.]
[I feel bad for Alice. She’s been dragged online for days. It’s tough for a young girl.]
[Totally, I’ve changed my mind. Alice is actually prettier than Natalie. I dig chubbier girls.]
[Alice’s online fans even trashed Natalie. I hate to say it, but you guys are sloppy with your paid comments. Praising Alice sounds like copy-paste.]
