Natalie frowned as she stepped aside to avoid Susan's attack.

With Natalie moving away, Susan grasped at thin air, causing her to lose her balance and fall forward. With her knees crashing to the ground, she cried out in pain as the skin by her kneecaps split open. Everyone else was stunned.

Regaining their senses, the two solemn-looking officers couldn't help but burst into laughter. As for the reporters, they were even crueler as they began snapping away at Susan's pitiful predicament. Meanwhile, Jasmine stared coldly at Susan, her eyes filled with annoyance and resentment.

She is nothing but a fool.

Not only did she miss hitting Natalie, she even made a fool of herself by falling. What an embarrassment!

Natalie walked toward Susan and looked down at her with an eyebrow raised. "It's not even Christmas yet and you are already giving me such a huge present by being on your knees. I can't accept it so please get up."

Just as she spoke, Natalie reached out her hand, pretending to offer her help to stand.

"I don't need your help!" Susan slapped her hand away as she endured the pain to stand up by herself.

Right after she got up, Susan's eyes glistened when she realized Natalie was close enough to her. The very next moment, she hurled her palm forcefully in Natalie's direction to slap her.

With her pupils contracting, Natalie flinched by reflex.

Although her face avoided Susan's hand, the slap landed on her shoulder instead.

The crack from the slap was exceptionally loud and crisp.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Only Jasmine burst into triumphant laughter.

Susan's slap was so strong that Natalie felt her shoulder burn and it felt terribly painful.

If not for her quick response, Susan's slap would have landed on her face and the impact would have disfigured her.

Holding that thought, Natalie's eyes filled with rage while her expression turned icy cold. "Officer, I want to report her for assault!"

Natalie had one hand on her shoulder while the other pointed at Susan.

Before the police officers could respond, Susan shrieked in panic, "You little b**tch! What are you babbling about? What do you mean assault? All I did was give you a slap and you're accusing me of assault?" Shooting a glance at Jasmine who was frowning, Natalie sneered, "Jasmine and you are obviously alike given how easily both of you are willing to break the law. Let me educate you, Susan. As long as you touch me, it is considered assault. Do you understand?"

"She is right. By hitting her, she can press charges against you for assault. In fact, if her injuries are found to be serious, you will be put in administrative detention for at least five to ten days," the female officer stepped forward to explain as she had had enough of Susan.

Susan's face lost all color as her voice trembled in response. "How... how can that be?"

All I did was slap Natalie, why do I have to be arrested now?

"Officer, please arrest both of them while I head to the hospital to have my injury evaluated. After that, I will send you the medical report," Natalie remarked to the officers with a smile.

Both the police officers nodded and took Jasmine and Susan away.

When they were leaving, Jasmine turned around and glared angrily at Natalie, as if she was searing that very moment into her mind.

However, Natalie didn't care. She waited for the patrol car to leave before letting her smile turn into a grimace. After that, she turned her head and pulled the top off her shoulder to check. When a big patch of reddened skin greeted her, Natalie couldn't help but catch her breath.

Susan's slap was so vicious that her shoulder was already swollen. She figured it would take at least one to two weeks to heal.

Just you wait, I will make sure Susan is detained by the police.

Holding that thought, Natalie pulled back her top and picked up the flowers and bag before walking toward her car.

After half an hour, she arrived at the hospital and went to see Stanley right away.

When she got to his ward, she only saw Stanley and the two children while Joyce was nowhere to be found.
