Chapter 24 She’s the Queen
Gabriel followed Leo's gaze and immediately froze.
Natalie was wearing a long gray-silver dress with a fluffy skirt. The dress outlined her slender waist. Her slightly curled long hair hung behind her ears, making her look tall and beautiful, with a cool temperament.
Leo cursed, "What a coincidence. How can I run into unwanted people even at a bar?"
Kelly and the others also noticed Gabriel and Leo. Although they didn't want to see them, they couldn't just leave now that they had encountered each other.
"Mr. Dixon, have you sorted out the matters at home? Since you're in the mood for a drink, it seems like that photo didn't have much impact," Kelly sneered. Leo didn't back down either. He stared at Natalie, who was standing behind Kelly, and sarcastically said, "I underestimated Ms. Clark. I didn't expect her to change so much. She's definitely different with a backer."
"Yeah, she had three years of unhappy life with her ex-husband, so of course, she had to rely on friends after the divorce. Mr. Dixon, when you had problems, didn't you also go to your friends?"
Mia came over. She got angry when she saw Gabriel and said to Kelly, "Don't waste your time talking to them. Let's go inside."
Natalie calmly followed her friends, not even glancing at Gabriel who was standing beside Leo. She walked straight into the bar as if Gabriel was a stranger for her.
Behind Natalie was a handsome man holding her bag for her. As he passed by Gabriel, the man gave him a fierce glare and then coldly snorted before walking inside.
Leo was furious and anxious. "Why didn't I realize how amazing your ex-wife was before? Today, she made me endure cyberbullying all day, and just now, she pretended not to see us!"
Gabriel angrily said, "Enough. Have you caused enough trouble? If you want to keep causing trouble, then go home!"
Leo took a deep breath and said, "I'm not going home. Why should I go home? I want to go in and see what else they have up their sleeves!"
Gabriel didn't want to go, but after thinking about it, he still followed Leo inside. He recognized the bag in the hands of the handsome man. Victor had once carried that bag for Natalie at a banquet, so he recognized it as Natalie's bag.
Mia took Natalie upstairs and exclaimed, "I have arranged a fantastic fashion show a few days later. You can come with Yves, I have reserved the best seats for you both."
Henry, who was following behind, protested discontentedly, "I have been begging you for a long time to let me come. I want to sit next to Natalie."
"Dream on," Mia replied, then greeted Charlie who had been waiting for them for a while.
Natalie teasingly smiled at Henry, "Do you think your dad will let you off if he sees you slacking off like this?"
Henry stopped and grabbed Natalie's arm with a dejected expression, "If you were there, could you help persuade my dad."
Natalie didn't agree.
Charlie waved at them. Seeing Natalie approaching, he embraced her with a smile and said, "Welcome back. My queen."
Charlie and Henry were two brothers, and they had some resemblance, but Henry seemed more youthful. He was very handsome and would have a bright future if he entered the entertainment industry.
Charlie was a few years older than Henry and more mature. He was also very attractive and popular with girls. However, he often played with them, so he was not serious in front of them.
Natalie smiled and sat down on the side. Charlie had been playing cards with a group of people before, and they were still waiting for him.
Charlie waved his hand and said, "I'm done playing. I found The Maniacs, your favorite band. Enjoy it."
"How can you quit? We were having so much fun." his friends complained discontentedly.
"Mr. Walker, what a coincidence."
Leo and Gabriel saw Charlie sitting there with a glass of wine as soon as they went upstairs.
