Chapter 317
Natalia wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. âThanks for the waming 111 work even harder to pursue Marcusâ
Cameron looked at her with a cold and disdainful gaze. âYouâre no better than your gold digging mom No matter how glamorous you two appear it canât hide your pathetic inner selves Natalin had to endure Cameronâs beatings and insults, and even agree with him, or else theid face another round of abuse. âYouâre right Neither me nor mom are good people
After letting off steam, Cameron finally left, leaving the battered Natalis behind
Even after he left Natalia couldnât go to the doctor. She had to let her wounds heat on their own
Just then, her phone on the floor rang Her mom was calling, and she couldnât help but burst into tears, âMom
Nataliaâs mom, Clair was Grange Roweâs second wile, who had won him over with her beauty and married into the Reese family
Clair asked âNatalia, did Cameron hit you again?
Through her tears, Natalia pleaded. âMom, I canât stand living with that monster anymore. Can you come get me? We could live together with Dadâ
âNatalia dont cy Listen to meâ Clairâs voice was gentle. âYouâve endured pain for so long. Just held on a little longer Once you marry Marcus, hell protect you and you can get back at Carton
Just thinking about that monster made Natalia shake. âBut I fear I might not live long enough to see that day Mom, please talk to dad if he intervenes, Cameron might listenâ
âNatalia, youâre an adult now You cant act like a child anymoreâ Clairâs voice was gede but to Natalia, her words were like poison. âIâve been through more insults and criticism in the Reese family than you if you canât contribute to the family, I might get kicked out too
âNatalia knew. She had always known that no one cared about ber feelings, and that she shouldnât expect anything from this family. But when her despair became unbearable, she still hoped there would be a family member who could help her take her away from this painful environment.
Her mother not only refused to help her leave but also pushed her deeper into agony, making her life unbearable
Her familyâs concern for her was far less than Brianaâs Even the inconsiderate Briana could sense something was wrong and called to check on her
Natalia hung up the phone and continued to lie on the cold floor with tears rolling helplessty down her cheeks.
