Chapter 773
Chapter 773 Still Firm Important? Christina tensed when she heard what | Icarus said.
Would Natalie...? Before Christina could think further, Icarus indulgently asked Natalie, "Do you want her?" Yes, his voice was indulgent.
Christina remembered how Cedric treated Natalie the same way, showering her with all his love. She had been so hysterical back then, witnessing Natalie receiving all of Cedric's affection. She wished she could pull Natalie down from that pedestal!
But she had never succeeded Where was Cedric? And why was this i man being so indulgent towards Natalie? Christina couldn't understand why this | was happening! She was genuinely afraid Natalie would decide to marry Icarus. Given their history, Natalie definitely wouldn't let Christina off easily. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
While Christina had been in prison for years, she had also thought a lot. Even though she suffered a lot in prison, she knew that it would be worse if she was in the outside world! Cedric had been very disappointed in Christina and didn't care about her anymore. Now that Natalie was a lady of the Jarvis family, she could easily harm Christina if she wanted to
The truth proved that Christina's thoughts were correct. Looking at Natalie now, she felt the gap between them even more profoundly. Despite growing up in the Johnson family, she couldn't hide her inherent inferiority complex.
Even though Natalie grew up outside, she was still the legitimate daughter of the Jarvis family! When Christina found out that Natalie was the heiress of the Jarvis family, she had been insanely jealous. And now, facing reality, she felt the immense disparity between them.
This feeling was torturous for Christina! "I don't want her," Natalie said.
Christina was speechless. Before she
could wrap her head around the situation, Natalie had answered Icarus! Natalie didn't want her? Then, wouldn't that mean Christina would...?! Before Christina could figure out what was happening, she felt the atmosphere chilling completely.
Then, Icarus spoke dangerously, "Natalie Jarvis, do you know what your current choice implies?" 10f course!" Natalie replied without hesitation.
"you'll grant her the utmost honor.
From now on, no one can trouble her in Simeria, not even me!"
"1f you know, then why are you still...?" "Have you forgotten, Lord Icarus?" Natalie interrupted, her words biting and heavy.
LAY 74 ic ite What is it? "She's my enemy!" Natalie's bitter words revealed her resentment towards Icarus. Also, his use of her current family name suggested his considerations were more complex than others believed.
Is it worth exchanging the Jarvis family's support for my enemy?" Yes.
If she agreed, Natalie would pay the price of obtaining Christina using the
Jarvis family.
If Natalie had nothing to lose, she would do it without hesitation.
But things were different now.
Did Icarus think Natalie didn't know what he wanted? He mentioned that only one of them could become the Entes family's fifth lady. He was using Christina to blackmail her. He was also certain that Natalie wouldn't just stand by and watch Christina's glory.
Natalie had to admit that Icarus had put much effort into this scheme. He had even investigated Natalie's past thoroughly.
When Icarus heard Natalie's answer, he was stunned. Then, his gaze shifted slightly.
When Natalie first returned to the Jarvis family, Icarus looked down on her after learning about the circumstances of her birth.
What could a woman who grew up outside of her family accomplish? Even if Stephen had put in the maximum effort to train her, it would be futile. She might even become a failure for the Jarvis family! But seeing Natalie in her current state, Icarus dismissed his previous biases against her.
Her thinking was too meticulous, and her priorities were clear. Even in such situations, she remained calm and collected.
"I've underestimated you," Icarus said with a smile that held a hint of depth
Natalie stood up. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." She had given her answer.
They were not familiar with each other, so there was no need to continue this farce.
"Wait!" Icarus said.
"Is there something else you need?" She'll be my wife in the future. You should show her some respect when you see her next, Ms. Jarvis." Ultimately, Icarus couldn't resist one last jab at Natalie.
Natalie looked at Christina.
Upon hearing the outcome, Christina
immediately looked arrogantly at Natalie It was a drastic change of fortunes.
That was probably what Christina was feeling like right now.
That was indeed true.
Becoming the supreme woman had always been Christina's dream, hadn't it? "I wish you and Lady Christina all the best, Lord Icarus!" Natalie said ina particularly biting tone.
At this moment, Natalie gave off a feeling that she was performing flawlessly.
Yes, that was how Icarus felt as he watched Natalie
She appeared invincible, exhibiting grace and composure even in the face of a former foe.
Icarus had to admit that if such a woman married Austin, they would indeed become a formidable opponent for him.
"Do you think Austin is a good person, Ms. Jarvis? In the past, he-" "Lord Icarus!" Before Icarus could finish his sentence, Natalie turned back and looked at him with a meaningful smile.
No one knew what Natalie was hiding beneath that smile at that moment.
Then, she said, "Talking bad about others behind their backs isn't a trait a man should have."
When she said that, Icarus’ face darkened completely.
After Natalie left, Christina turned her attention to Icarus.
Though she had behaved so arrogantly before towards Natalie, she now timidly awaited Icarus's next move.
Christina didn't know what was going on. She had been brought here but was unfamiliar with the outside world, let alone the current situation.
Icarus glanced at her disdainfully. "1 was very pleased with your performance just now!" After saying that, he stood up and left.
Only Christina remained in place, feeling utterly drained Natalie... it was always Natalie! Christina thought she would spend the rest of her life in prison. She never expected she would confront Natalie in this way.
"Natalie!" Christina hissed through clenched teeth.
