Chapter 85 The Jerk And The Malicious Woman

Know you?

Oh. You bet I do.

Natalie was never truly in love with Yonah back then. However, the act that Natasha and Yonah pulled off together had fooled her completely.

She had gone to the hospital to do a spinal cord analysis in order to check if she was able to donate to Yonah. However, when she took the test results to Yonah, Natalie finally realized that she had been pranked by Natasha and Yonah.

She respected Yonah as a school senior.

Yet, all Natasha and he wanted to do was to humiliate her.

What made them think that just because they were from distinguished families, they had the right to trample all over her?

Natalie snapped out of her reverie of unpleasant memories and smirked. “Yup.” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Her slightly nasal voice paired with a simple word caused Natasha to break down slowly.

She said that she knows me. So why don’t I have any recollection of her?

Besides, if she’s lying, how does she know about me cheating on Yonah?

If her “adventures” were revealed to Yonah, he would not let Natasha off the hook so easily.

Her face paled at the thought, her eyes wide with fear and panic.

On the other hand, Natalie was calmly handing her credit card over to the counter lady. “I’ll pay for the concealer. After you’re done packing, please hand it over to Ms. Larson here.”

The counter lady, who had watched how Natalie tore Natasha apart with just her words, looked up at Natalie with admiration shining in her eyes.

“No problem.”

“Thank you.”

After the transaction, Natalie and Effie left the store.

Just as Natalie was about to discuss the details of the case with Effie, she realized that Effie was not next to her.

She looked back and noticed Effie tailing behind her like an obsessed fan.

“What’s gotten into you?”

“You’re so cool, Boss!” Effie gave Natalie a thumbs-up. “Your words worked like a bucket of ice-cold water. Her attitude sizzled out with just a few words from you!”

“Bullies are usually scared of being the target of bullying.” Natalie shook her head and chuckled. “I just didn’t expect her to have gotten much worse after so many years of not seeing her.”

“Boss, do you really know her?”

“Yeah.”

Natalie nodded.

“But that doesn’t sound right… She didn’t seem to recognize you.”

Effie suddenly came close to Natalie, scanning Natalie’s hyper-realistic mask carefully. Something’s not right here.

Natalie was not pretty but, she had recognizable features. Her facial features would’ve left a lasting impression.

However, with the way the lady was staring earlier on, it was obvious that she did not have any recollection of Natalie.

Natalie pushed Effie away, saying, “We weren’t close back then. It’s not a surprise that she doesn’t remember me.”

“Then… Are you going to tell her boyfriend and ruin all her hidden relationships too? What was his name again? Yo… Yonah?”

“That’s unnecessary.” Something flickered in the depths of Natalie’s eyes. “Birds of a feather flock together. A jerk like him and a b*tch like her are a match made in heaven.”

Oh. Isn’t that a little too much?

However, Effie liked the fact that Natalie was brutal. With just one sentence, Natalie turned into Effie’s new role model.

Grandpa has such good taste in people. Putting such a goddess in the Major Crimes Unit as a coroner was an amazing idea!

Soon, Natalie got ready to go home after parting ways with Effie.

At that moment, a lady walked toward her, saying timidly, “Ms. Nichols, Ms. Yara has requested to see you. Please follow me.”

Yara?

“Yara Nichols?” Natalie’s gaze turned cold.

Jeanne nodded slightly. “Yes. I’m Ms. Yara’s assistant. She has something to say to you.”

“Well, I don’t have anything to talk to her about.”

Jeanne was taken aback for a moment. She looked reluctant, and her eyes watered slightly. “Ms. Nichols, if you don’t follow me back, Ms. Yara is going to put the blame on me.”

Natalie scanned Jeanne’s face carefully.

She’s not faking those tears.

Natalie knew the way Yara worked. Her innocence was a mere facade, and she had many dirty tricks up her sleeve. This assistant was probably merely a pawn to her.

“Fine. I’ll go.”
