Natalie tried to keep her anger under wraps, and said, âI wouldnât dare to try and shut you up.Since you want to talk, why donât we discuss work? I have encountered some problems in the design of this dress, and you obviously have a lot of experience in making dresses.Laneyâs dress needs to be adjusted.Can I discuss it with you in private?â
Dalores was afraid of Natalie and her bodyguard, but when she heard that Natalie wanted to consult her in private for advice, she felt a wave of relief wash over her.
Since the bodyguard and the other colleagues wouldnât be there, it would be fine.
If it were just to be Natalie and Dalores discussing this in private, Dalores felt she had nothing to fear.
Raising her eyebrows, Dalores smiled, âNo problem.You really should consult me.You donât know many things about design, reallyâ
Laney pulled Natalie aside.She was afraid a conflict would ensue between Natalie and a Dalores and she would be the cause of it, so she whispered in Natalieâs ear, âIâm fine.You donât have to argue with her.ltâs not worth it to make a big sceneâ
Patting the back of Laneyâs hand, Natalie gave Laney a propitiatory smile and said, âDonât worry.l know exactly what Iâm doing.Leave it to me.Iâll handle it with due diligenceâ Natalie had been bullied when she was a child.Laney was the first one who helped her, so naturally she didnât want to see Laney being bullied, especially since Laney now couldnât defend herself and fight back.Then they walked into the workroom for dress modification.
âTell me, what do you want to consult me about?â
Sitting on the chair with her legs crossed, Dalores grabbed some snacks from the workroom table top and ate them happily.
Iâve seen the design drawing.There are many places on the garment that need to be modified.The design shows inexperience!â She began to preach in a patronizing manner.With an expressionless face, Natalie closed the door and locked it behind her. Hearing the sound of lock clicking, Dalores frowned, puzzled.However, Natalie didnât bring anyone in.
There were only the two of them here.
Dalores wasnât afraid at all.
âI am particularly fond of this workroomâ she said evenly.Then Natalie turned around and walked slowly towards Dalores.
In a light voice, she said, âThere is no closed circuit camera monitoring in this room.Besides, there are many mannequins.Itâs difficult to see whatâs going on in the room from the outsideâ
While chewing. Dalores glanced at Natalieâs slender, rather weak limbs.
âIt seems that consulting me is not your real purpose here.You want to stick up for Laney, donât you? I didnât say anything wrong.She married into the Harding family only because she is pregnantâ Natalie was too thin, so Dalores was sure that Natalie wouldnât be a match for her at all.
It seemed that Natalie was asking for trouble by locking her in.
After wiping the crumbs on her lips. Dalores stood up and smiled, âYou canât protect yourself well when you leave that burly bodyguard outside. Youâd better not get too arrogant in front of me.You know there isnât a camera here With nothing but indifference on her face, Natalie leaned against the table and asked, âWhat can I do to make you stop? I have shown enough respect to you!â
Dalores snorted.
She was insulted by Natalieâs condescending tone as she negotiated with her.
After casually throwing the snacks away, she rolled up her sleeves as if she was going to beat Natalie.
âWatch your tone! I never really liked your gutsâ
There was no one around and no camera to catch her, so Dalores wasnât afraid.
Therefore, she could hurt Natalie and no one would ever know about it.
Just as Dalores was about to make a move, she was suddenly slapped on her left cheek.
Taken aback, Dalores covered her numbing face and tried to look straight.
However, another slap was given on her right cheek.
Dalores was nearly knocked out by the force of the two slaps.
âNatalie! How dare you slap me?â
To alleviate the pain, Dalores clenched her teeth.Her cheeks were now swollen and flushed.She raised her hand to fight back.
Dalores believed that Natalie was a weakling who was nothing without her bodyguards around.
If they fought one on one, Natalie was absolutely no match for her.
Surprisingly, the latter was able to stop Daloresâ hand which was about to hit her without difficulty.
âFuck you, bitch!â
It hurt so much that Dalores had to take a few deep breaths.She was too stunned to react when Natalie seized her leg and shoved her down hard.
By placing her knee on Daloresâ back, Natalie had full control over her.
âAnswer me, What can I do to stop you?â
As she spoke, Natalie pressed Dalores down on the ground.
The rage Dalores felt twisted her features.She couldnât accept that Natalie was so strong to even press her face to the ground.
No matter how hard she struggled, she couldnât stand up.So she screamed, âLet go of me first! And then weâll talkâ It turned out that the self-defense skills Laney taught Natalie had finally become handy when she now used it on Dalores.
âTalk? But I think itâs pointless to talk to people like youâ
Natalieâs voice was dripping with sarcasm.
Realizing that she had read what was on her mind, Dalores was even more furious.
âLet go of me right now! This is in the studio!â With narrowed eyes, Natalie gave Dalores a hard poke on the forehead.
âDonât think too highly of yourself.l can handle you without my bodyguardâ
Then she let go of Dalores and straightened up.
In excruciating pain, Dalores struggled to get up.She licked her lips and tasted metal in them.
Looking at her swollen face, Natalie said, âThe two slaps were for Elizabeth and Laney.The next time you cause them trouble, Iâll show you what else I can doâ Frightened. Dalores subconsciously took a few steps back and held her breath.
At this moment, she felt that the Natalie in front of her was different.
Her expression and aura were terrifying.

ï¤Chapter 1329 Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ï¤Chapter 1187 In any case, Dalores had no intention of giving up without a fight.
She looked at the closed door and then stood up to ram into Natalie.
The next moment, she threw all the mannequins she saw towards Natalie.
There were more than ten mannequins coming her way.
What could she do? At this critical moment, a hand reached out and pulled Natalie aside.
That was so close! Luckily, she was saved.
When Natalie looked at the person who saved her, she was surprised.
âMr.Wesley?â Hearing Natalieâs voice, Dalores looked back and saw the man standing behind a pile of mannequins.
It was Draco Wesley, the CEO of W Marks Studio.
