Chapter 240 I Will Listen Obediently
The cold, pricey scent of that perfume? Yeah, Natalie had only ever smelled it on Lillian.
Like, at the auction where they first met, at Charlie's place, and tonight's fancy party—Lillian always wore the same perfume.
Lillian chuckled softly. "Ms. Clark, you're so clever."
Natalie couldn't be bothered to respond and just rolled her eyes.
But Lillian probably missed that eye roll.
Lillian, the legendary figure who could do anything and built a business empire, would pull something like this.
Clearly, she wasn't acting on a whim, nor was she after money.
"You probably didn't bring me here for a friendly chat, Ms. Garcia. Just spill it, what do you want?"
Lillian's breath hitched slightly.
Natalie could sense her barely contained anger and coldness.
From the start, Natalie's calm demeanor was unexpected.
Up until now, she showed no fear, even speaking with a tone of disdain as she exposed Lillian's identity.
Lillian didn't bother to hide anymore and stepped out of the shadows, standing right in front of Natalie.
"Ms. Clark, aren't you afraid? What's about to happen next isn't going to be pleasant."
Natalie raised an eyebrow and looked up.
Their eyes met.
Suddenly, she smiled.
Her expression was relaxed and indifferent, her red lips moving slightly, enunciating clearly, "It's because of Charlie, isn't it?"
The atmosphere around them instantly fell into a dead silence.
That name was the deepest thorn in Lillian's heart.
For ten years, she had kept Charlie in her heart.
She thought she still had many chances.
But tonight, seeing everything Charlie had prepared for Natalie, she knew that she didn't have any chance left.
It made her maddeningly jealous and hateful!
Even losing a billion-dollar contract hadn't made her feel this hysterically heartbroken!
She could handle the ruthlessness of the business world with ease.
But seeing Charlie planning to propose to Natalie, it felt like she lost the whole world, her faith collapsed, and her world turned desolate.
The intense pain and the insane jealousy growing inside her.
She smiled and said, "It's good that you know."
It was indeed because of Charlie.
Natalie frowned, looking utterly baffled.
"Hurting me won't make Charlie like you, Ms. Garcia. Isn't this method a bit too low?"
Resorting to violence was the most foolish way, especially on Natalie's turf.
If she got hurt, the Clark Group would never let Lillian and her company off the hook.
Would it be worth it to destroy all her years of hard work just to hurt her?
Lillian suddenly laughed. Her gaze was deep and cold. "As long as it works. After all, you are the high and mighty Ms. Clark. On this memorable day, ruining you is a bit cruel. But other than that, I can't think of a better way to deal with you. The Clark family has protected you too well. I could only get your scandalous photos as leverage. I just want you to stay away from Charlie, as far away as possible."
Ideally, they should never meet again.
"Only then will you listen obediently."
Lillian's eyes burned with a mad flame. Brighter and hotter than the cigarette in her hand.
Indeed, Lillian was probably insane!
To come up with such a deranged method, it was disgusting!
Natalie stared into her eyes. She smiled slightly.
Did Lillian think she could threaten Natalie with those photos?
What a daydream!
Her eyes sparkled brightly in the darkness.
Her voice was gentle and pleasant. "Yes, I will. But..."
Her tone shifted, her gaze cold and disdainful. "You can't do it."
She was proud, confident, with an innate noble indifference.
Standing there, even on a dark path, she was always the most noticeable, the brightest focus.
Lillian's body stiffened, shocked by Natalie's words.
But within a few seconds, she regained her composure.
Lillian lowered her eyes and chuckled, her aura imposing.
No wonder she was a force to be reckoned with in the business world; how could she be scared by a few words from Natalie?
When she looked up again, her eyes were filled with harshness and mockery.
Lillian raised her hand slightly. "Then let's try. Sorry, Ms. Clark."
