Chapter 17

Jennifer stared at Natalie, surprised by her newfound calm. The old Natalie would have attacked her in anger, but now she stood strong, making Jennifer shiver. "Natalie, can't you just apologize? Mr. Spencer is here. If you admit your mistake, he might forgive you." Natalie's brow creased as she shot back, "I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I apologize?"

Jennifer was left speechless by Natalie's defiance.

Easton's temper flared as he interjected, "Natalie, there's proof, there's footage, and I've seen it for myself. Jennifer's telling the truth. When are you going to stop denying it?"

Natalie looked at him with disdain. "Who are you to talk to me like that? I didn't push your grandmother. As an outsider, if you have nothing useful to say, keep quiet."

"Natalie, you..." Easton started, but was too angry to find the words.

Turning to Murray, Natalie's gaze turned icy. "Mr. Spencer, I heard you're hosting a party for Jennifer tomorrow to thank her for saving your grandma. How about this? To prove my sincerity. I'll bow and apologize in public tomorrow night." Jennifer was stunned. If Natalie apologized publicly, she'd be the town's scorned outcast.

Murray looked at Natalie with a smirk, noting her beauty contrasted with her venomous nature. He stood up, approached her with a smile, and then, without warning, slapped her across the face.

Easton's brow furrowed as he stepped forward. "Murray, that's enough. Natalie is my wife."
