Chapter 174

The moment Natalie recognized Easton, his bloodshot eyes sent chills through her. It took her back to the day he pushed her down the stairs, looking at her just like he was now, yelling, "Natalie, just die already! Look what a mess you are now! Natalie's body trembled uncontrollably. She pushed Easton away with all her strength and rasped, "What do you want? Don't

touch me.

Easton took two steps back but didn't miss the fear and glaring hatred in her eyes.

"Natalie, I need to ask you something. Was it you who saved me that day in the fire?" Easton's voice was raspy, his gaze locked onto her.

'Back then, he wasn't completely unconscious. How could he not remember? Jennifer has saved him too, and while he always remembers Jennifer's heroics, he has no idea I've been there for him as well

Easton chuckled bitterly, "So, to divorce me, you're denying that you saved my life?"

Natalie pressed her lips together, refusing to speak. She had been disappointed enough; she wouldn't hold on to any hope.
