StarNovelChapter 445
Cameron’s face darkened. He was super pissed at the middle–aged man’s condescending tone but
kept his cool, saying, President Hartley, are you implying something?”
The guy on the other end continued, “For years, no one has been able to snap a shot of him. But now
someone has the balls to post his picture online. His PR team even openly confirmed that the couple in
the photo was them Don’t you think that’s a bit weird?”
“You mean, he purposely had someone take the picture and then post it?” Cameron realized he had
been played, immediately grabbed another phone and sent a message: [Stop looking for the
photographer ASAP]
The man on the other end continued, “Before you ring me up next lime, use your brain. No matter what
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe situation is.”
Cameron responded, “Roger that.”
Then, the guy on the other end didn’t say anything more, just hung up.
Cameron angrily threw his phone at the floor and yelled, “Get in here!”
Natalia, trembling pushed the office door open and walked up to Cameron, “Cameron”

Cameron grabbed her by the hair and demanded in a low voice, “Natalia, tell me What right does a
man who can’t even control his own marriage and almost bankrupted the Hartley Group, have to
lecture me?”
Natalia, shrinking back, fearfully replied, “He’s a total loser, ousted by his own son years ago. He can’t
even get into the Hartley family mansion these days, he has no right to lecture you”
But the truth was, he could only kowtow to him. So who was him to mock that guy?
Of course, Natalia kept these thoughts to herself, not daring to voice them out.
Cameron slapped Natalia hard across the face, “He’s a loser, are you one too? You’ve been back home
for so long. I’ve given you countless chances, but you still can’t get
close to Marcus”
He yanked her hair. “Natalia, I’m giving you ten more days. If there’s no progress, I don’t need to keep
a useless person like you around,”
Natalia, her face stinging from the slap, mumbled, “Don’t worry, I’ll come up with something new.”
Cameron yelled, “Get out!”
Natalia left immediately
She returned to her room, closing the door behind her. She walked into the bathroom and looked at the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpitiful girl in the mirror.
The girl in the mirror had a swollen face with clear fingerprints; her lip was split and bleeding; her hair
was a mess, some of it pulled out.
The girl looked like a homeless stray dog. How could she be Ms. Reese?
“Natalia?” She said to the girl in the mirror, and the girl in the mirror said back to her
She started laughing, tears rolling down her cheeks, “You’re not me and I’m not me either. Can we both
stop playing this part?”
She had long wanted to shed this identity, but she couldn’t shake off her mother who had high
expectations of her. She was living a life akin to hell.
Marcus!
He was the only one who could possibly help her out of this mess, but he wouldn’t even give her the
time of day How could she possibly pin her hopes on him?
She held her head, and slumped to the floor. She was staring blankly at the ceiling, not knowing what
to do next.
