The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 213 Battlefield Between Mothers

Diana's expression twisted as she spoke, her hand tightening around the coffee cup. The server placed their drinks on the table, and Diana's eyes darkened with hatred as she glared at Natalie.

She suddenly hissed, "Natalie, don't blame me for this. Blame the hospital for switching you at birth. You took Selena's place and lived a life of comfort with the Langley family for years. I hate you, I resent you, and I want to ruin you.

"You won't make it up to Selena until you're suffering, until the world turns on you. Only then will her pain finally be avenged."

Natalie stared at Diana with a calm yet unwavering gaze. Diana's dislike for her had never been a secret.

As far back as she could remember, Diana had taken every opportunity to punish her. Whether it was yelling, slapping, or pinching her, Diana always found a reason to lash out.

When Natalie was younger, she had no choice but to seek Grace's protection. Grace would step in when Diana crossed the line, but eventually, Diana found ways to abuse Natalie in private.

Over time, Natalie noticed Grace growing weary of constantly intervening. As a result, she stopped asking for help and learned how to avoid Diana instead.

If she could not escape, she endured it. After all, once Diana's anger subsided, she would have a few peaceful days.

Hearing Diana's words now did not shock her. Instead, Natalie calmly lifted the cappuccino in front of her and splashed it directly onto Diana's face.

The coffee was still hot, and Diana screamed in pain. "Natalie, you little bit—" Before she could finish the insult, Natalie's hand struck her face with a sharp slap. The sound echoed through the café, cutting off Diana's words.

Natalie pulled a packet of wet wipes from her bag and slowly cleaned her hands. Then, she took out her phone, having placed a call on speakerphone without Diana realizing it.

"Hello? Mom, did you hear that? Diana, this bitch, has been abusing me for years. She mistreated me to avenge her own daughter." Natalie's voice was cold and emotionless as she stared at Diana.

On the other end of the call, Charlotte was seething with fury. Her voice trembled as she spoke. "Natalie, I'll take care of it.
