Chapter 998

"What the hell was that?" Arthur asked, unsettled.

Morris shot him a sharp look. "Just remember, Ms. Stewart, this isn't your business to meddle in. Next time you mouth off to her, it won't end as simply as it

All eyes turned to Nathalie. She was straddling Greta, having slapped her across the face more times than anyone could count. Greta's cheeks were so swollen she looked almost unrecognizable.

Mrs. Sharp hurried over, anxious and pleading. "Ashley, enough! Please, stop. If you hurt her too badly, you'll face the law."

He rolled his wheelchair over and gently caught Nathalie's hand. She glared at him, eyes blazing, but as soon as she recognized Morris, her anger vanished.

He pulled out a handkerchief and offered it to her, his voice soft. "Look at you. You're making a spectacle of yourself. What if you scare off your future husband?"

Nathalie let out a cold snort. "She was wishing you dead."
