The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 298

Natalie was totally stunned when she heard that.

She assumed that Christopher just simply assigned a random room to her, considering how exhausted she was at that time.

She did not expect things to turn out this way, especially when that room had a special meaning to him. .

Subconsciously, Natalie pursed her lips.

“Chris’ mother passed away when he was very young. In his heart, no one could ever replace her presence in his life, but he actually let you sleep in that room. And you have the cheek to claim that you’re not interested in Chris?” Jacyntha let out a sinister laugh as the cold breeze swept past her.

She brushed her hair away and scoffed, “You’re an average Jane without any strong family backgrounds. What do you have to fight against me? Do you really think that you can climb up the social ladder if Chris falls for a girl like you? Dream on! You’ll always be an unwanted lowlife.”

Although Natalie could empathize with Jacyntha, she found her last sentence uncalled for and simply pathetic.

Well, no one was born noble… certainly not lowly and undignified? Don’t we all have the same features?

Jacyntha’s sense of superiority was attributed to the fact that she had never encountered any hardship in her life. As a result, she would always look down upon others.

“This is ridiculous,” Natalie blurted before leaving.

She could not be bothered to argue with the arrogant Jacyntha. If she wants to harp on this, I’ll let her be. After all, I have no feelings for Christopher.

Suddenly, Natalie heard two crisp sounds.

She turned her head and saw two bright red palm prints appearing on Jacyntha’s face.

“Are you insane, Jacyntha?”

“Why did you slap me, Ms. Natalie?” Panic-stricken, tears welled up in Jacyntha’s eyes.

Natalie stared in disbelief as Jacyntha turned the tables and put the blame on her.

She yelled, “What a lunatic! Is it worth it to do that for a man?” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Ms. Natalie, I beg you, please… don’t hit me…”

Natalie was rendered speechless.

One can’t wake a person who’s pretending to be asleep.

She suspected Jacyntha had it all planned out. The latter had probably found a way to lure Christopher to the rooftop when she slapped herself in order to expose Natalie’s wickedness.

“Was it less painful to slap yourself?” Natalie glared at the woman who was putting on her own show. She shared, “The positions of the palm would be completely different if you hit yourself as compared to being struck by others. Stop your nonsense now, will you? Perhaps it’s more effective if you start a catfight. I am afraid Christopher will be able to call your bluff in no time.”

Hearing her words, Jacyntha grew increasingly anxious.

She recalled the direction she had slapped herself in and realized that it was indeed unconvincing.

Yet, there was no turning back for her, considering that Christopher would show up any time soon.

What should I do? How can I pull this off?

Suddenly, something caught her eye.

If I push Natalie down, she’ll either be dead or paralyzed. With that, I can claim that she missed a step and fell during our heated argument. There’s no way anyone can verify my words.

She obviously did not think things through. Being caught in a tight spot, she could only move forward with an alternative plan.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Natalie.” Jacyntha glanced at Natalie and muttered, “It’s all my fault.”

“Well, it’s good that you know.” Natalie said with a slightly relaxed expression, “I really… don’t have those feelings for him regardless of how Christopher views me.”

Right when Natalie was heaving a sigh of relief, Jacyntha grabbed her by the arm and exerted full force to fling her to the edge.
