Chapter 118 Please Escort This Young Lady Out
Alyssa's expression stiffened; she hadn't expected Natalie to be so direct. She looked up sorrowfully at Gabriel, only to find that his gaze wasn't on her.
From the beginning, his eyes had been fixed on Natalie.
His silence, given the circumstances, was unreasonable.
She quietly lowered her head and clenched her fists. Blair had always looked down on her, not even sparing her a glance, let alone helping her.
At this moment, Blair's face was grim as he asked Ulysses, "Mr. Clark, even if the Kensington family did something wrong, the marriage is over. There's no need to make a big deal out of it, right?"
Ulysses struggled to contain his anger. He was furious and couldn't understand how his daughter had made it through these three years.
He immediately called over two servers from not far away and pointed at Alyssa. "Please escort this young lady out."
Alyssa's face turned pale, and she looked up in panic.
Ulysses spoke harshly, "My daughter doesn't want to see trash, so I have to oblige her."
"Gabriel," Alyssa couldn't help but call out for help.
Gabriel frowned, glanced at her, and coldly reminded her. "The driver has been waiting outside. Let him take you home."
Natalie's brow furrowed; she hadn't expected Gabriel to send Alyssa away so decisively. She thought, 'Ishe really willing to? This man's heart is even harder to fathom!'
Wendy and Angela, who had brought Alyssa without permission, were now flustered.
They silently hid behindBlair, who had furrowed his brow deeply.
Ulysses's expression quickly changed, and he put on a familiar, cold, and polite smile. "Mr. Kensington, we can temporarily set aside the grievances Natalie suffered in your family, but the recent rumors online, I think you are in the best position to clarify them, aren't you?"
Although Natalie's true identity had been revealed, which was enough to clear her name.
Having the Kensington Group issue a statement was to make the Kensington family admit their mistakes.
Blair snorted coldly, "Is that really necessary?"
"If you can't even show this much sincerity, then I will have to cut all ties with the Kensington Group. Stocks, funds, investment projects—if you can come up with as much money as the Clark Group, you won't have to bear the losses of severing our cooperation," Ulysses spoke coldly.
Blair's face turned cold, instantly looking grim.
The Kensington Group wasn't short on money, but the Clark Group had even more. If the Clark Group suddenly withdrew their investment, the Kensington Group wouldn't be able to cope in the short term and would have to bear all the losses.
"I'll consider it." Blair gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
Natalie smiled. "Mr. Kensington, remember to visit the museum often in the future."
That was truly a provocative remark.
Blair's body stiffened, nearly stumbling, and he had to be supported by Angela. He left trembling with anger, not looking back.
Ulysses chuckled softly and looked at Natalie helplessly, "You're being naughty again!"
Natalie curved her lips, took Ulysses's arm, and turned to leave, only to find that Gabriel hadn't left.
"Mr. Kensington, aren't you coming along?"
Gabriel was silent all the time.At this moment, he slowly called out Natalie's name, "Natalie."
Natalie raised an eyebrow. Gabriel looked at Ulysses. "Mr. Clark, may I speak with her alone?"
He had just realized why Ulysses was cold to him before—he didn't want any personal ties at all.
Ulysses looked at Natalie. She showed no expression but instead had a mocking smile on her lips.
"Okay," she said.
Ulysses knew well that she wouldn't be hurt again; otherwise, she wouldn't be so decisive.
"I'll take you to meet other elders in the company later. Don't take too long," Ulysses stated.
After that, he gave Gabriel a deep look and then walked away.
"Mr. Kensington, what do you want to talk about?" she asked.
She casually took a glass of red wine from a passing waiter's tray, the rich, vibrant crimson color swirling gently in her hand.
Gabriel's gaze fell on Natalie's face, his voice deep and husky. "Why did you hide your identity to marry me?"
