Chapter 494
He dragged her into the brightest spot of the room, scrutinizing the mark on her neck that looked like a hickey but also seemed like a bite mark âDid Mare do this? he
ashed
Seeing her plot working, Natalia breathed a sigh of relief Pretending to be shy, she quickly pulled up her collar to hide the mark, âThis mark
Cameron interrupted impatiently. âAre you pretending to be innocent? Iâm asking if this mark was made by him?â
Natalia nodded. âYou once told me that no one else but him can touch me havenât forgotten.â
Her obedience pleased Cameron âHow far have you guys gone? Did he sleep with you?â
âNoâ Natalia blushed, biting her lip shyly. âHe almost did I was really scared and struggled fiercely so he stoppedâ
Cameronâs face suddenly changed, grabbing Nataliaâs hair in anger, âAre you a moron? You were scared of that? Look at yourself! He wants you, and you dare to reject him?
With her hair being pulled to the point it felt like her scalp was being torn off, Natalia didnât dare to move, âMare said he wouldnât force me to do anything I donât want to Heil wat until Im mady to accept himâ
âHe said that? Cameron was skeptical of her, but eventually let go
Natalia continued, âOtherwise, why would he have driven me home?â
This time. Cameron truly believed her, âSometimes men who have been met with too many easy women become more interested in a woman who rejects them. You did right Reject him for a while, and donât let him have you too soon. But donât hold him off for too long either. If he loses interest in you, youâll have no chance
Natalia nodded. âI listen to you. However long you tell me to reject him, I will. Whenever you tell me to accept him, I will
Cameron was very satisfied with Nataliaâs attitude. He confidently believed that he had successfully moulded Natalia into a tool without any personal thoughts, one that he could use freely
Cameron pinched Nataliaâs chin, staring at her face intently, âYour face, just like your shameless motherâs, does indeed have charm that stirs menâs hearts. But even the most beautiful face can become tiresome over time. If you want to hold Marcusâs attention for longer, have your slut mother teach you Sheâs a pro at handling menâ
Natalia replied, âShe has taught me.â
As far back as Natalia could remember her mother had been teaching her how to please men. Her another would incessantly remind her that a womanâs knowledge was
never as important as marrying well, and that men were their lifeline
âTypical shameless mistress. But this does save me some trouble Cameron sneered. âI taught you how to serve men, do you still remember?â
Natalia nodded. âDonât worry I wonât let you down.â
Cameron said, âOnce your relationship with him escalates, you donât have to maintain your false modesty Be more proactive when he touches you. Donât be unresponsive, or heâll lose interest Men are all the same. They like elegant women in their life but in bed, they prefer those who can bring them pleasure. If you can bear him a son before his wife does Not just him, the entire Hartley Group will be yoursâ
Natalia said. âI just want to complete the task you assigned me, I havenât thought about anything elseâ
Cameron gently patted her face, âYes, just follow my instructions. Fill take care of everything you canât think of, and ensure you wonât get hurt.â
Natalia nodded
Cameron said, âGo upstairs and rest. Starting from tomorrow Iâll arrange for someone to come home and give you a full body SPA every dayâ
âAlright Natalia replied, and then quickly went upstairs
Back in her room As soon as she closed the door, she felt so weak she couldnât stand Leaning against the door, she slid to the ground wiping the cold sweat off her forehead
Tonight was finally over But what about tomorrow?
And the day after that?

Chapter 495
Natalia knew for sure, if Cameron found out she was playing him, heâd surely off her But she wasnât ready to kick the bucket yet! Even if her everyday life was a living hell, she wanted to keep hanging in there because there was always hope while she was alive
Plus, she knew she only got one shot at life, there were no doâovers. Once she died, sheâd have nothing
Natalia took a deep breath, mustering up the strength to pick herself up off the ground despite feeling weak as a kitten
She had to win Marcus over for real before Cameron got wind of the truth The only person who could help her now was Cornelia.
Thinking of Comelia, Natalia immediately whipped out her phone and shot a text: [Cornelia, heard youâre taking it easy these days. How about I swing by around lunchtime, we grab a bite and then hit the shops in the afternoon?]
It was the middle of the night and Natalia wasnât holding her breath for a reply from Cornelia. However, no sooner had she put down her phone than it buzzed Cornelia texted back [Sorry, Iâm spending the day with my granny tomorrow]
Natalia wasnât ready to throw in the towel. She sent a voice message straight away, âCornelia, are you still holding a grudge against me. Donât you like me? Iâm genuinely sorry, I hope we can be friends.
Cornelia replied. Whatâs past is past. Iâm not petty, donât sweat it]
Seeing Corneliaâs response. Natalia breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, she just trusted Camelia, believing that she wouldnât pull a fast one on her.
Natalia asked again [Cornelia, how come youâre still up so late?
Cornelia replied: I ate too much tonight, my stomachs giving me grief. Iâve been in and out of the bathroom.]
Natalia asked [Got any meds? Want me to swing by with some?]
Cornelia replied Iâve already taken some, feeling a bit better now. Gonna go to sleep, you should too. Night!]
Natalia asked [Cornelia, are we friends now then?]
Cornelia replied As long as you donât rope me into chasing Marcus, we can be friends]
Natalia replied somewhat dejectedly. [But without Marcus, I wouldnât be able to keep going]
When Cornelia saw Nataliaâs message, her headache started up again. She didnât really want to deal with this lovestruck girl, but somehow she couldnât help but soften ighting off sleepiness, Cornelia said [Natalia, no oneâs life is over just because someone else is gone. Even your parents will leave this world before you do. How can you not live without a man who has nothing to do with you?]
Jatalia replied (Without him, I canât live ]
Comelia said [Youâre really stubborn. Marcus is already hitched, he doesnât feel for you. Youâre only hurting yourself.]
Jatalia told Cornelia [When I was a kid, my mom and family told me that I would be Marcusâs wife one day I lived with that thought for over a decade. And just when hought I was going to be Marcusâs bride, they told me Marcus had already married someone else ]
Cornelia was really at a loss about Nataliaâs family!
