In response, Natalie shrugged. “I just said that a dog was barking, but I didn't mention any name. You said that yourself.”

“How dare you?” Jacqueline leaped up. Balling her fist, she swung it at Natalie's face. “You asked for it, b*tch!”

Natalie never expected her to be so easily provoked that she would lash out without warning, and her expression changed.

Just as she was about to dodge, a tanned hand suddenly shot out from behind her and caught Jacqueline's fist effortlessly.

Jacqueline's fist could no longer budge an inch, suspended in mid-air.

All that happened in the blink of an eye.

When Natalie realized what had happened, she gaped at the housekeeper in surprise. Never had she thought that the woman would help her hold Jacqueline back.

The accompanying whistling sound earlier also showed its force. If the blow had landed on her, it would have set her out at once.

Astonishingly, the housekeeper caught Jacqueline's fist effortlessly. Jacqueline could neither punch it forward nor pull it back, and her face flushed bright red from fury.

It was clear as day that the housekeeper was exceedingly strong and skilled, for she wouldn't have been able to restrain someone so easily otherwise.
