From Divorce To Dominance (Natalie Xavier)

Chapter

27

Natalie was dragged into a discussion about promoting boxing by Christian. As he spoke passionately, she could barely keep her eyes open. Suddenly, a ringtone startled her awake; it was an unknown number.

Christian pecked over and said, "It's probably a scammer. These days, scams are everywhere. Just block it. Come back and listen to me."

Natalie replied. "I need to answer this. Why don't you have a cup of coffee when you're waiting?"

"You just don't want to listen to me, do you? Come back soon. I need to talk to you about promoting boxing," said Christian. Walking over to a separate room, Natalie lazily answered the call "Hello?"

"I can help you with cash if you need it. Sure, I can't give you love anymore, but remember, you're my ex-wife and you have our son. Do you really have to embarrass me like this? I can't believe you're with that old guy. Don't you ever have standards? Ill give you 30 million dollars right now. Just stop seeing him." Darren was furious, barely giving her a chance to speak.

He sent her the money right away. When she saw the notification pop up on her phone, she couldn't help but laugh to herself. Does he really think I care about such a tiny amount? He didn't want anything to do with my son before, and now he acts like he's a dad. What a joke.

Natalie sent the money back and texted: [Mr. Luther, it looks like you're not thinking straight.]

Inside the Rolls-Royce, Darren slammed his fist on the seat. The rejected 30 million and one dollar-especially that extra dollar-infuriated him. If Natalie were here right now, he might actually strangle her.

Meanwhile, Natalie was in high spirits. She took her time fixing her hair and, upon returning to the dining table, noticed several new faces.

Walter Nelson, a plump old man, was the first to greet her. "Nat, why didn't you call me first when you got back? Have I lost my charm? What's so great about Christian? If you don't give me an explanation, I'm not recognizing you as my disciple"

Tm sorry. Who are you again?" Natalie jested.

Walter quivered with anger, yelling, "You ungrateful kid!" He quickly grabbed his cane, ready to give her a good whack. Christian stepped in, saying "Why are you getting physical right away? Chill out a bit. You might scare her."

"Exactly!" Stuart Owens, another old man in a suit, chimed in. "Come sit with me, Nat. It's been three years since you disappeared. Were you creating your art? Why don't you show us your new works?"
