Chapter 90 Can’t you be a gentleman?
However, Niki was far from naive. No matter how wealthy the man in front of her was, he couldn’t compare to
Julian
She was well aware of Julian’s position in Los Angeles.
Tm sorry, I have something to attend to If you want to get acquainted, please try another day.” Niki said, wearing a polite smile on her face
Roger’s expression changed, but he didn’t give up. He quickly suggested, “How about adding each other on! WhatsApp? We can make plans for another day”
Niki smirked, seeing through the man’s intentions.
She knew that having one more pursuer meant having one more option. If Roger had appeared in front of her a few days ago, she might have given him her WhatsApp
Because that way, if Julian turned out to be unreliable, she would still have other choices.
But now, she clearly had a better pursuer by her side-Philip. The man standing in front of her and Philip were
worlds apart.
At this moment, she felt nothing but disdain for the man before her
“Oh, I left my phone elsewhere,” Niki said, a smile playing on her lips. She walked out of the banquet hall,
leaving Roger standing there.
“Oh?”
Roger watched the beautiful woman’s figure as if lost in thought. A teasing smile appeared on his face.
“Interesting”
It seemed that he was even more interested in her now.
Natalie was being dragged by Julian. The man already had long legs, and now, out of anger, he took even larger strides, making her stagger behind.
“Can you stop pulling me, please? If someone sees us tugging at each other, they might get the wrong idea!” Natalie complained
“And isn’t that what you want?” Julian’s tone grew colder, his steps uninterrupted.
“What I want? Haven’t we divorced already? I’ve given you the divorce agreement, yet you still hold onto me like this. Who is it that’s getting what they want?” Natalie retorted
Hearing her words, Julian couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. “You certainly excel at being self- deluded Do you think I enjoy this tug of war with you?”
Self-deluded? Natalie fell silent.
She felt utterly speechless and didn’t want to say anything more.
However, Julian’s grip on her wrist tightened, and Natalie felt a strong surge of pain.
*Julian, can’t you be a gentleman?” Natalie gave up struggling. She knew that she was no match for Julian in strength, and resisting was futile.
If he wanted to pull her, let him. But why did he have to hold on so tightly? Did he want to hurt her?
Julian completely ignored her words and continued taking larger steps.
Natalie considered herself to have a decent temper and was not easily angered. But Julian’s actions were
truly infuriating her.
Since the Graham family stood at the top of the Los Angeles elite circle, guests of all sizes had gathered for
Grandpa Graham’s banquet.
As a result, not only was the banquet hall crowded, but there were also quite a few guests scattered throughout the courtyard, engaged in idle chatter.
“Mr. Graham…,” the guests in the courtyard spotted Julian’s arrival and hurriedly set down their wine glasses
to greet him.
However, as they approached, they noticed the anger on Julian’s face and the chill surrounding him.
Witnessing Mr. Graham’s expression, the guests involuntarily took several steps back, swallowing their
words
Who would dare to provoke Mr. Graham at the Graham family banquet?
After Julian coldly passed by them, they noticed that Natalie, who was tightly held by Mr. Graham’s wrist, had
to jog to keep up.
Isn’t she the wife of the Graham family? She always doted on Mr. Graham, even willing to give him her heart. How could she have made Mr. Graham so unhappy?
What happened??
The two of them arrived at a secluded courtyard, where there was no one but the gentle flow of a stream,
providing a sense of tranquility.
Their arrival clearly disrupted this tranquility.
Julian finally stopped in his tracks and released Natalie’s wrist.
“What do you want to say? Can’t you say it in the banquet hall?” she exclaimed, out of breath from running.
Now that Julian had stopped, Natalie, not even noticing her wrist, which had turned crimson from being
squeezed, directly spoke up with anger.
“Say it in the banquet hall?” Julian seemed to find it amusing. “How could you have the audacity?” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
“Why wouldn’t I?” Natalie spoke calmly, not understanding Julian’s meaning.
“You want me to expose all the things you’ve done in front of so many quests? Tell everyone?” „Julian’s eyes
were filled with boundless disgust
“You have no shame, no sense of embarrassment the Graham family can’t afford such a person.”
Natalie widened her eyes. “The things I’ve done. When has she done anything?
Was he referring to the incident where Niki framed her for stealing the diamond ring or when Niki came to
cause trouble at the pavilion, or maybe when Niki intentionally provoked her at the banquet today?
All these incidents were orchestrated by Niki, and yet they somehow became her wrongdoings?
“You know what you’ve done. There’s no need for you to play dumb,” Julian’s face was filled with disgust
Natalie raised an eyebrow 1 don’t know, how could I know what labels you’ve pinned on me?”
“If anyone knows, it’s definitely you Why don’t we talk about these matters now and let me see what I’ve done
to make you so angry. Natalies tone was flat, but it catred a strong sense of sarcasm.
won’t accept baseless accusations,” Julian furrowed his brows. 1 don’t want to discuss these things with
you today,” he felt extremely annoyed by Natalie’s current demeandr
He cleared his throat. “Who allowed you to sneak into the party?”
“You said you wouldn’t come, but here you are at the party What does that mean??” Julian’s disdain was
evident in his eyes.
1 sneaked in? Please ask your mother how I got in,” she replied.
“Oh, so your mother let you in?” Julian’s tone worsened.
Very well. Natalie and Niki were indeed a perfect match in their thinking.
“You keep saying you want a divorce, yet you keep bothering me.” Julian continued.
“Natalie, you really make me look down on you,” the man enunciated each word, emphasizing his tone
Natalie lowered her gaze
She had heard similar words too many times, the man’s words no longer stirred any waves in her heart.
She was well aware of the image she had in Julian’s mind, and she no longer wanted to exert any effort to
change his opinion
What Julian thought of her had nothing to do with her, he could think whatever he wanted. She didn’t need to explain herself, as the effort would only make her angrier.
She wouldn’t waste her energy on something thankless.
“Besides this, do you have anything else to say? if not, can i leave?” Natalie’s tone was impatient
“Leave? Where are you going? Back to the banquet hall? Julian’s thin lips curled, his tone laced with
mockery
“Didn’t you say you didn’t want to come? I fulfilled your wish, so now you can leave,” he stared directly at Natalie. “the Graham family’s banquet doesn’t welcome you, nor do we need you.”
He despised women like Natalie who liked to play tricks.
If it were her first offense, he could still speak to her politely. But now, he had lost count of how many times. Natalie had played these nonsensical tricks in front of him. He couldn’t tolerate it anymore.
“Let me leave?” Natalie smirked.
“What’s wrong? You don’t want to?” Under the cold moonlight, Julian’s profile appeared even more stern.
He had made himself clear several times before, yet Natalie didn’t take his words seriously and repeatedly challenged his limits.
Whether she wanted to or not, she had to leave. That was the price of challenging his limits.
Natalie raised her eyebrows. “Who said I didn’t want to? I couldn’t ask for anything more.” She had been deceived into coming here, and now being able to leave suited her just fine.
She turned around and walked away.
“No, you can’t leave!” A voice suddenly came from behind Natalie.
