"Natalie, Briena didn’t mean to do it," Lily interjected. "We know you’re just trying to squeeze money out of this incident. Just state your price and let’s be done with it."
"Don’t worry, that’s exactly what I plan to do," Natalie replied coldly. "You’ll soon understand the cost of the mental damage you caused my grandma."
"Two hundred million—is that enough?" Ivan asked, thinking Natalie was being excessively greedy.
Natalie scoffed. "Not even close to what I want."
"State your price. I’ll pay you right away."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Natalie asked, and just then John returned with two baseball bats in his hands. He handed one to Natalie. "Will this be enough?"
"More than enough," Natalie sneered as she cracked her neck and flexed her wrist, holding the bat as if she were warming up for something.
"What are you doing?" Ivan asked, alarmed.
Natalie gave him an evil smirk and turned towards Briena’s car. "You’re not that clueless, are you?"
The next moment, the loud sound of shattering glass echoed through the parking lot as Natalie and John swung their bats, smashing all the windows of the car. They didn’t stop until every piece of glass was broken, and every part of the car bore the marks of their rage.
Briena watched in disbelief, tears streaming down her cheeks. "That was a birthday gift Grandma gave me..."
Ivan could do nothing to stop the two furious people. John’s tall, muscular frame and Natalie’s fiery determination made it clear that no one would dare intervene.
Once they were done, Natalie walked over to John. "Mind giving me a hand?"
John extended his hand, and she climbed onto the car’s roof, standing tall with the baseball bat in her hand. She looked down at Briena, a wicked smirk plastered on her lips, appearing like the most malevolent person in the world.
Ivan stared up at Natalie, stunned. He felt as if he’d never truly known her. The obedient woman who once had eyes only for him, the one he thought he understood, was gone. She had transformed into someone he barely recognized.
"Briena Ford," Natalie called out, her voice cold and commanding. "This is your compensation for the damage. Oh, and I’m not talking about the car’s cost. I’m referring to the mental damage you must feel right now, watching your favorite car get destroyed in front of you while you could do nothing at all."
Briena’s tiers could not stop as it was truly hurting to see her car being crashed.
Natalie continued, "An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth—this is what I learned in Xyros City. So you better think before pulling out any of such stunt ever again. And, if you ever dare cross my bottom line, I’ll step on you just as I’ve stepped on this car of yours and crush you under my feet in worse way possible. Don’t force me to unleash what I left behind in Xyros City. I guarantee, you would regret it for the rest of your life."
Briena’s entire body trembled at the threat. She had never imagined that Natalie would act this way in front of Ivan, especially when she had always tried to maintain her best image.
’Does she not love Ivan anymore? But why?’ Is that gigolo that special to made her forget her love for Ivan?
Natalie jumped down from the car as John offered his hand once more. She stood right in front of Briena, who was trembling in Ivan’s arms.
"What I said just now—don’t you dare take it as an empty threat."
Briena couldn’t muster a response, but Ivan spoke up. "If you’re done, then stop it already. She’s scared enough."
"Then what?" she interrupted, her tone icy. "You would have left me even before we made it to our wedding day?" freёwebnovel.com
