“Natasha!” Madeline exclaimed, her face lit up with surprise as she turned to see her.
The party was held outdoors in the villa’s backyard.
Natasha glided through the garden in a flowing white gown that seemed to shimmer like moonlight, her beauty
breathtaking and unforgettable.
Her chin was slightly raised, her eyes bright and lively, adding a touch of elegance and spirit to her already
stunning features.
Madeline instantly broke into a smile. She was proud of Natasha.
None of the other women there could hold a candle to Natasha in terms of beauty.
What made Madeline even happier was that Natasha had really shown up. She wondered if that meant that
Natasha was willing to reconcile with her family.
Madeline had already forgotten about the threats Natasha had made before.
Andrew’s expression softened as well. “Alright, since you're here, let's go inside. We don’t want to keep the
guests waiting.”
He gave her outfit another look, satisfied that she at least understood the occasion.
“Wait a second,” Natasha said with a smile, stepping in front of everyone. Under their confused stares, she
added slowly, “Let’s settle a personal matter first.”
Before anyone could react, she delivered a stinging slap right across Noel's face.
His handsome, sunny face instantly swelled up.
“Natasha, why did you hit me?” Noel was practically losing it.
He thought, “Seriously, what kind of sister just walks up and slaps her brother?
‘What did | even do wrong?’
Natasha's expression was icy. Even though she was shorter than him, she always acted like she was above him.
“Because you're rude, arrogant, and stupid.”
Noel didn’t quite get what she meant, but he sure knew she was cursing him out.
He almost lashed out in return, but Thomas quickly stepped in to hold him back.

Today was supposed to be Natasha's big day, and she couldn't show up with a bruise.
Besides, the guests would make fun of them if word got out that they were hitting each other at their own party.
Olivia and Madeline, her eyes brimming with tears, led Noel away to put sice on his
face.
With that slap mark on his cheek, there was no way he’d dare show up again tonight.
That slap completely shattered the Clark family’s wishful thinking.
Natasha hadn’t chere to make peace. She was here to make them pay.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAndrew’s face was stormy. “Alright, you've slapped him and let off steam. Can we go now?”
Natasha shot him an even colder look, standing her ground. “Where's the bracelet?”
“Your mom will give it to you after the party,” Andrew replied.
“No way. | want it now. | don’t trust you people,” Natasha shot back.
Andrew’s nostrils flared with anger. “Well, we don’t trust you either!”
She cin swinging, slapping her brother without hesitation. This made Andrew doubt that she'd go along with
their plan.
Natasha compromised. “Fine. Have her give the bracelet to the butler first. | want it to be publicly presented to
Andrew snorted. “Okay.”
With the deal struck, the whole Clark family plastered on fake smiles and headed into the party together, but it
was all just for show.
As they entered, the crowd's eyes lit up at the sight of the stunning Natasha walking with Thomas behind
Andrew.
“Is that the Clark family’s youngest daughter? She’s gorgeous! How cI've never seen her before?” someone
whispered to their neighbor.
The neighbor replied, “Of course not. The eldest daughter was always the one showing up at
events.
The first one said, “The younger one never even had a birthday party. No wonder you don’t recognize her.”

The other person said, “With looks like that, why keep her hidden?”
Someone else said, “You wouldn't understand...”
As they drew near, people started whispering to each other.

Most of the people at the party found their eyes glued to Natasha's stunning face. It was impossible to look
away.
One rich kid who knew the Clark family well clicked his tongue. “Gotta admit, Natasha might have a temper, but
she’s a total knockout.
“What do you guys think? Should | go for her?”
His friend snorted. “Don’t even think about it. Didnt your family tell you the Clark family and Wright family are
announcing an engagement tonight?”
“No wonder Lucas is out.front acting like family, greeting guests at the door,” someone else
chimed in.
“Talk about luck. Lucas really hit the jackpot,” someone said with a jealous edge.
He had a wealthy family, good looks, and he had always been the role model among his peers. Now he was
about to land a gorgeous fiancée.
Though Natasha had a wild streak, when it cto guys and girls, it was about looks anyway.
With a face like that, people would bend over backwards just to make her happy.
“What can you do? The guy’s had a twenty-year head start,” someone else chimed in.
They had known each other since they were three. There was no way others could compete with that kind of
relationship.
The group was full of sighs and whispers. In a corner, Matthew Hill, who had recently dyed his hair back to black
from blue, silently downed a glass of wine,
Matthew scoffed inwardly, ‘Childhood sweethearts, huh?
“That just means it'll hurt even more when they break up. | can’t wait to see the look on their faces when
everything falls apart,
‘If the proposal failed back then, this whole engagement shouldn't even be happening.’
He stood up, set his glass down, and walked out of the party, leaving all the noise and
excitement behind.

Meanwhile, Lucas couldn't take his eyes off Natasha, who had stolen the spotlight.

He'd thought she wouldn't show, but her stunning entrance left him genuinely amazed, his eyes shining with
delight.
‘Figures. With all the memories and history we share, Alexei doesn’t stand a chance against that,’ he thought.

She thought, ‘Getting tangled up with Olivia wasn’t enough for him, now he’s here pretending to be all
affectionate in front of me?’
She never believed that people would love others by hurting them.
Lucas’s smile froze for a moment, but he quickly smoothed it over.
‘It’s fine. There's still plenty of tto make things right. Ill put everything back the way it was,” he told himself.
He said while playing it cool as if nothing had happened, “There are lots of your favorite desserts here tonight.
“If you're feeling tired, just sit down and have a bite, take a little break.”
Natasha suddenly gave a wicked smirk. “You really think this engagement is actually going to happen tonight?”
Lucas pressed his lips together. “Of course. I'll do whatever it takes to make sure it goes through.”
Then he shot her a probing look. “Does Mr. Turner know we're getting engaged tonight? Is there something going
on between you two?”
Natasha rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed. “Leave him out of this.”
Natasha
put on a straight face, but her eyes were full of scorn. “How about a bet?

“Yeah, | mean it,” Natasha replied.

Olivia showed up right on cue, having finally managed to calm Noel down.
As she was about to cover, Natasha said in a clear voice, “One fly after another. So annoying.”
Olivia stopped in her tracks about three steps away, looking hurt.
All eyes in the room immediately turned to the center of the .
