Chapter 159: Only One For Her

Despite the headache pounding in her temples, Natalie allowed herself to relax in the soothing warmth of the bath. Even as peace settled over her, her thoughts kept circling back to revenge.

’How could I have been so careless? Maybe I let my guard down because Grandpa was around. I never expected them to pull something this disgusting.’
