Chapter 130 Cold by Nature

Nathaniel's blood pressure shot up like a thermometer plunged into boiling water as he watched Rebecca cry.

He couldn't hold back any longer and slapped her across the face. "You idiot! What else are you hiding from us?"

The blow sent Rebecca reeling backward as she clutched her face, sobbing uncontrollably.

If a few slaps could earn Alistair's forgiveness, she'd gladly take

more.

Back then, she'd been young and foolish, treating a worthless man like treasure while treating the one who truly deserved her love like dirt. She'd realized it far too late.

"Honey? Honey, what's wrong? Stop crying! Your father's having some kind of attack because of you. Call 911 now!"

Cordelia's panicked screams cut through the air as Rebecca watched Nathaniel collapse to the floor. She hastily wiped away

her tears and fumbled for her phone, her fingers trembling as she dialed 911.

"Honey! Honey, please be okay!"

The ambulance sirens walled as paramedics rushed Nathaniel

onto a stretcher. His eyes were shut tight, his face flushed an alarming shade of red.

Nathaniel had literally passed out from rage. But he wasn't defending Alistair.

What sent him over the edge was realizing just how bold Rebecca had become, casually manipulating other people's lives. If she'd done this, what other ridiculous stunts had she pulled behind their

backs?

The family could barely handle one Alistair situation. What if other scandals came to light?

When Nathaniel thought about his hard-earned career potentially ruined because of his foolish daughter, his anger overwhelmed him, and he collapsed.

Cordelia followed the paramedics in tears as the ambulance drove away with its sirens blaring. Rebecca sat slumped on the floor, one side of her face swollen, looking completely shell-shocked.

Daniel, who hadn't yet found a suitable preschool, wandered over without a care

in the world. "Mom, is Grandpa going to die?" he asked.

When Rebecca didn't respond, her eyes vacant and focused,
