Chapter 988 The Real Culprit is Her
Natalie looked at Alice, slightly frowning, and had her answer.
Alice's trance at the sudden mention of Rosalie's terrible encounter, coupled with her guilty face at the realization of her unusual self, totally gave her away even though she desperately lowered her head to conceal it.
Moreover, Avery looked all jealousy and resentful when she heard the news, which made Alice's stupor a stark contrast.
Natalie never expected that the one who harmed Rosalie was Rosalie's biological daughter, amused, thinking Rosalie deserved it. 'Rosalie has done so much for Alice, yet ends up in such a situation. She swapped my life with Alice, and I can't bear to truly let her die without helping. I just hope to have nothing to do with her anymore. But Alice, to harm her own mother like this, makes me feel both sad and ridiculous for Rosalie.'
After this dinner ended, Natalie stood up, "My driver is outside to pick me up, so I'll head out first, Mr. Cullen."
Curtis had drunk quite a bit. He looked at Natalie, who he had watched grow up, and said, "Natalie, although in the past, you had many misunderstandings with the Cullen family and unpleasant things with me, you should know that my family will always be your family. I never considered you as the servant's child, nor did I ever consider Rosalie as a servant."
In the past, Curtis was just a coward with no balls to make a conversation with Rosalie in front of Avery.
Curtis enjoyed his life. But the closer he got to Rosalie, the more he remembered how he accepted Avery's financial support to start his business, which was a blow to a man's dignity.
Men cared about their pride. He didn't want to recall those things.
So every time Avery brought it up, Curtis would lose his temper with her, almost to the point of breaking down this time.
But Rosalie was his first love.
Natalie raised her hand, gently smoothing her hair blown by the evening breeze. She squinted slightly, "Mr. Cullen, it's late. I'll be going now. Mrs. Cullen and Ms. Cullen are still waiting for you."
Natalie walked downstairs, thinking Derek had come to pick her up.
But she didn't see Derek's car; instead, it was a car Adrian often drove.
She walked over, and Adrian rolled down the window when he saw her.
Natalie took off her sunglasses, "Why are you here?"
"Aren't you happy to see me?" Adrian said.
"Of course, I'm happy." Natalie got into the car.
And this scene was witnessed by both Alice and Avery.
Alice's face was almost twisted, "Mom, did you see that? Adrian came to pick up Natalie!"
Avery knew Alice was very agitated and quickly held her shoulders. "I saw it. You shouldn't think about the matters about the Howard family anymore. Whatever Adrian does has nothing to do with us." After everything that had happened, Avery just wanted Alice to be healthy and happy, though she was also angry about that Adrian was with Natalie.
Natalie had replaced Alice in interacting with Adrian, so maybe they had known each other since then.
