was really angry. Even if he despised Natalie, Diana and Selena had provoked her first.

They had no reason to smear Natalie’s name, so they had it coming when she retaliated.

Even though Natalie had taken away 20 years of Selena’s life, she had grown up with them. She had lost so much blood for Diana, and when she left, he gave her 200,000, which wasn’t much.

Besides, she didn’t even accept it.

If the situation between Diana and Selena weren’t handled properly, the Langley family would. quickly fall from its position as the wealthiest family in Amberton.

Victor and Diana were not good at business, but he was more rational. The Langley family was -doing well recently, but many people had their eyes on them.

When Diana and Selena returned home in disgrace, he told them that they had to play along with Natalie even if they didn’t feel like it.

They had to get Natalie to delete the surveillance footage and pretend everything was fine. If the Langley family’s reputation were ruined because of them, no one would want to cooperate with them in business anymore.

At that point, they might lose their position as the wealthiest family.

Thus, Victor hit Diana hard.

After Diana received the slap and heard his scolding, she was about to explode, but Selena suddenly pulled her hand.

“Mom, Dad is right. We’ve already promised him we would apologize to Natalie.”

Selena looked at Natalie as they argued. Natalie quietly sat there, with delicate features, her eyes gentle like a painting. She appeared as though she was completely detached from the conflict, just coldly watching everything unfold.
