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!

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.
