The Promise of Happiness

Chapter 221

When Jacyntha saw Natalie‘s pathetic state, her fury subsided a little.

“You and Chris belong in two completely different worlds! If you have dignity, you should take theinitiative and stay away from him. Don‘t obstruct his path!”

Staring at the young woman in front of her, Natalie smirked. A cold glint flashed across her eyes.

She shot a cold glance at the motionless sales associates and demanded, “Pass me a bottle of water.”

Even though she was being bullied, she still exuded a charismatic and cold aura. Her eyes were crystal–clear and bright.

When the sales associate met her gaze, she felt an inexplicable sense of intimidation. Hence, shesubconsciously passed a bottle of water and a piece of tissue to Natalie.

Instead of taking the tissue, she grabbed the bottle of water instead.

She twisted the cap open, placed the opening over Jacyntha‘s head, and emptied the bottle on her.

As the bottle of water had just been retrieved from the fridge, it was quite chilly. Not only did Jacynthabecome drenched, but she also shivered from the cold.

At that moment, everyone, including Jacyntha, was stunned.

She watched helplessly as Natalie poured the entire bottle of water over her. Still immersed in shock, shedid not move a single inch.

It took a while before Jacyntha finally returned to her senses.

Widening her eyes, she screamed, “W–Who do you think you are? How dare you splash water overme?”

Natalie capped the bottle slowly. Her eyelashes fluttered as she glanced at Jacyntha. “Your brain‘sheating up, so you need to cool down. Do you think that any woman who‘s by Christopher‘s side is yourenemy? Can you please figure out the situation before targeting everyone?”

“Are you saying that,”

“I‘m not trying to say anything,” interrupted Natalie coldly. “If this happens again, things will end uglierthan this.”

“Y–You...”

Right then, Jacyntha was completely drenched, looking as pathetic as Natalie.

Ignoring her furious glare, Natalie strode out of the jewelry store.

She was just an innocent bystander who had been implicated for no reason.

Previously, she even assumed that the heavens were so kind to her that she got a snakeblood fruit forfree.

As expected, the snakeblood fruit came at a price.

When Natalie walked out, she bumped into Christopher.

He noticed the coffee stains on her clothes and the cold expression on her face. “What happened toyou? Who bullied you?”

Shooting him a chilly glance, Natalie uttered, “Now that I‘ve eaten and chosen a gift with you, don‘t forgetto ask Nicholas to send the snakeblood fruit that you‘ve promised me.”

When Christopher saw how distant she was acting, he grabbed her wrist. “I‘m asking you a question!Who bullied you?”

Natalie was still fuming mad about it. Now that Christopher kept interrogating her, she glared at him andyelled, “You...”

“What?”

“It‘s you!” Natalie smirked coldly. “Let go of me! Aren‘t you bullying me right now?”

Christopher released her subconsciously. Once the opportunity arose, Natalie spun around and leftunhesitatingly.

When Christopher returned to the jewelry store, he saw Jacyntha bursting into tears.

“Chris...” When Jacyntha saw Christopher, she became even more upset. She pounced into his armsand complained through sobs, “That woman poured water all over me. I‘m so cold now!”

“Were you the one who splashed coffee on her?”

Christopher‘s gaze was so sharp that Jacyntha felt a chill run down her spine. She could sense that hewas extremely angry now.

“Jacyntha, I‘m asking you this. Were you the one who splashed coffee on her?” Before she could reply,Christopher repeated his question.

She vented all her grievances onto him immediately. “So what if I was the one who splashed her withcoffee? You‘re my fiancé, so who is she to stay by your side? Why can she enter your mother‘s room?Why do you treat her so specially?”
