Chapter 14: Dumb And Blind

The guests crowded around the scene, making it difficult for Justin to see what was happening.

He pushed his way through, just in time to see a staff member helping a woman out of the pool.

Her face wasn’t clear to him, but he instinctively stepped forward, worried it might be Natalie. However, a voice made him pause.

"Natalie, how dare you push her into the pool?"

"As long as you’re not blind, you can see I did nothing but stand here in my place."

Justin turned to see Natalie standing by the side of the pool, facing an enraged Briena. Both women were without masks, but Justin knew he would have recognized Natalie even if she were masked.

He sighed in relief—It wasn’t her.

Rowan joined him, a smirk forming on his lips as he took in the scene. "Yesterday you were asking about her, and here she is—the troublemaker of the Ford family. Now you can see for yourself that I was right."

"It would be better if you shut your mouth," Justin warned, focusing on Natalie. He wanted to see how she handled the situation. As long as she was safe, she was free to do anything because he was sure she had done nothing wrong this time.

Justin could sense the accusatory glances shot at Natalie. Due to her bad reputation, everyone had already considered her a villain. But there she was standing unbothered, full of confidence with her hands tucked into the pockets of her tailored peach colored suit, unlike other women who wore fancy dresses.

"You are despicable," Briena spat, trying to play the victim.

"Not news to me," Natalie replied coolly. "I’m not interested in watching the rest of your pity act. So, I’ll spare you from my despicable self."
