Chapter 220 Splashed With Coffee
A man like Christopher was simply too unpredictable—his mood always swung between two extremes.
In one second, he could grab her neck and yearn to kill her. Yet, in the next second, he could give her a snakeblood fruit that cost hundreds of millions.
He was a complete madman. The best course of action was to stay as far away from him as possible. If she stayed in his sight forever, she would be digging her own grave.
Natalie laughed drily in response.
They walked to the counter.
After knowing that the gift was meant for an elder, the sales associate took out a few sets of jewelry for their review.
Having guessed Christopher’s family background, the sales associate displayed jewelry that cost at least five million.
As Natalie was not knowledgeable in jewelry, she could only advise based on how appropriate they were. On the other hand, Christopher was well-versed with jade and precious jewels. He quickly eliminated a lot of the jewelry recommended to him.
Since Christopher knows so much about jewelry, why did he ask someone like me who’s completely oblivious about it to advise him?
In the middle of choosing the jewelry, Christopher’s phone rang. As the contents of their conversation were meant to be confidential, he went outside to take the call.
Natalie did not remain idle in the store either. She remembered that it was going to be her children’s birthday soon.
As a mother, she was not a very romantic person.
Hence, she would make up for it with money. She wondered if she should give her children a slightly more expensive gift.
Perhaps, she could give each of them a gold chain!
Just when Natalie was about to go blind from all the dazzling gold, a furious voice sounded beside her.
“It’s you!”
When Natalie turned around, she saw the girl whom she had seen briefly at the Collins residence.
Not wanting to be further involved with her, Natalie said, “I’m sorry. You’ve mistaken me for someone else.”
“Mistaken you for someone else?” Jacyntha bit her lips. As if she had suffered a huge grievance, she hollered, “I would never mistake anyone else for such an ugly girl like you! You are the one who made Chris falls head over heels with you through your dirty methods. He even yelled at me for your sake!”
Natalie did not want to bother Jacyntha, but Jacyntha kept accusing her without even figuring out the facts.
I’m not indebted to her in any way, so why should I be scolded by her?
“Dirty methods?” Natalie scoffed coldly, “Tell me! What dirty methods have I used?”
Jacyntha accused Natalie of using dirty methods, but she was unable to specify what exactly did Natalie do.
“You…”
“If you think that dirty methods are effective on Christopher, you should just use them.” Natalie narrowed her eyes as a cold and stubborn expression appeared on her face.
Jacyntha was the Smith family’s precious heiress.
Since young, she had been calling Christopher by his nickname, Chris. Everyone in the Smith family and the Collins family saw her as Christopher’s fiancée, even though they were not officially engaged.
However, Christopher allowed Natalie to sleep in his mother’s room.
Jacyntha was never allowed into that room. When she tried to sneak into it secretly, Christopher caught her and scolded her harshly.
If Christopher allowed Natalie to do that, it meant that she was as important to him as his mother.
Fury surged within Jacyntha when she thought about that.
“I-I’m not as shameless as you!”
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Raising her cup of unfinished coffee, she splashed it onto Natalie’s face.
Natalie dodged quickly. However, although she managed to hide her face in time, the coffee splashed all over her body.
This sudden change in events caused everyone in the jewelry shop to fall silent.
As the sales associates noticed that Jacyntha’s attire was much more luxurious than Natalie’s, they did not dare to offend her by helping Natalie.
Even though Natalie’s shirt had turned brown, with the coffee dripping down the corners, no one passed her a piece of tissue paper.
