Chapter 182: I Am Enough For Her

The atmosphere fell into dead silence. Irene lay on the ground, clutching her stinging cheek, her eyes filling with tears. Natalie stood rooted in place, her icy gaze fixed on Irene.

Ryan, equally stunned, whispered to John, "That was a flawless slap. Her jaw must be aching."

"She’s lucky it was just a slap," John replied quietly.

"Yeah, I’ve heard Ms. Natalie once nearly strangled someone for insulting Mr. Harper."

"Just like him, she’s fiercely protective when someone insults him," John added.

Meanwhile...

"Irene?" Briena and Ivan hurried to her side, with Ivan helping his sister sit up while Amelia rushed over as well.

"Are you alright?" Briena asked in a concerned tone.

Amelia glared at Natalie. "How dare you hit my daughter?"

"Are you out of your mind?" Ivan snapped, glaring at Natalie with fury. He adored his sister, and seeing her hurt and humiliated in front of everyone made his blood boil.

"If I were out of my mind, she wouldn’t have gotten away with just a slap," Natalie retorted, her gaze unyielding as she looked at the Browns and everyone around. "This is a warning to all of you—no one is allowed to insult my husband. I won’t tolerate it, regardless of who you are."

Amelia marched toward her, livid. "You dared to hit my daughter over him? Who even is he—a gigolo?"

"Watch your words," Natalie warned. "Or I’ll forget that you’re older than me, Amelia Brown."

"You... I’m truly relieved you didn’t marry my son," Amelia spat back.

"Trust me," Natalie replied coldly, "now that I think about it, I feel the same. A man who didn’t trust me and couldn’t even try to understand what happened—that was reason enough to marry someone who sees no one else but me, and he trusts me."
