Chapter 755 Moreover, enraged families of pregnant women also blocked her path and demanded an immediate explanation from Kailee.
Chaos reigned, and despite the protection of her assistant and security guards, Kailee couldnât break free from the crowd. She lost her balance, crashing to the ground in an ungainly heap.
âStop filming! Stop!â Kailee cried out in despair.
Born into nobility and elegance, she had never experienced such humiliation in her whole life! i Despite her frenzied, desperate pleas, the journalists and onlookers showed no sympathy. Tears streaming down her cheeks, she looked up only to see the cold glint of camera flashes.
Meanwhile, Natalie lounged on a sofa, nestled against Brandonâs chest, leisurely enjoying fruits.
Witnessing Kaileeâs mortifying spectacle on the live broadcast, she couldnât help but burst into laughter. âShe had it coming! This is the consequence of being a villain.â
Seeing Natalieâs delight, Brandonâs lips curled into a smile. âIndeed, she finally got what she deserved.â
Natalie sat up and gazed at Brandon with shining eyes. âDid you do this?â she inquired.
Brandon shook his head in response, âI havenât had a chance to act yet. If it were me, she wouldnât have faced just the simple fate of being discredited.â
Frustration furrowed Natalieâs brow. âThen who could it be?â
Brandon grinned, affectionately rubbing Natalieâs nose. âSilly girl, why donât you ask your mother?â
Natalieâs eyes sparkled, and just as she was about to call Johanna, a text message from her arrived.
âMy dearest daughter, Kailee wonât have the opportunity to vex you any longer.â
Natalie was moved by Johannaâs message.
She realized that it was her mother whoâd intervened secretly.
Just days ago, sheâd confided in Johanna about Kailee, and now, Kaileeâs reputation lay in tatters.
Yet, Natalie remained puzzled. Turning to Brandon, she furrowed her brow. âAs far as I know, Kaileeâs parents really adore her. Wouldnât they defend her?â
Brandonâs eyes narrowed, and a cold smile graced his lips. âThe true power in the Gibson family lies not with Kaileeâs parents, but her aunt. Having suffered heavy losses due to Kailee, her aunt wonât forgive her, and her parents are powerless to intervene.â
Despite the reassurance, Natalie couldnât shake her lingering concern. âWill Kailee remain in Barnes?â
Caressing her cheek tenderly, Brandon replied, âFear not. Embroiled in scandal, the Gibson family wonât permit Kailee to disgrace herself further in Barnes.â
Relieved, Natalie sighed. âThatâs wonderful. Without Kailee, Laneyâs return will be much safer.â
After all, with Kailee in Barnes, who knew what wicked deeds she might commit?
Moreover, if Laney encountered Kailee again, she might recall Garrettâs past manipulation at Kaileeâs hands and feel disgruntled.
At that moment, Natalieâs phone rang.
It was Clyde Lambert.
Eagerly, he blurted out, âMiss Natalie, donât forget our appointment this afternoon. Iâll await you at the restaurant.â
Heâd anticipated this date for so long.
Now that she finally accepted, he had to call her to remind her for fear that she might cancel it for other reasons.
âIâll be there, I promise,â Natalie assured him, chuckling at his earnestness.
This meeting was also crucial for her.
After all, promoting the studio was a crucial milestone on her journey to becoming an independent designer.
âSee you then,â Clyde replied. He then breathed a sigh of relief. Anticipation coursed cell in his body aflutter as he looked forward to their afternoon appointment.
He was determined to make a lasting impression on Natalie.

ï¤Chapter 1329 As the call ended, Brandon fixed her with a dangerous gaze. âWhoâs the man youâre meeting this afternoon? I can tell that itâs a guy by the sound of the voice.â
Sensing Brandonâs jealousy, Natalie quickly grabbed his arm.
âIâve scheduled a meeting with an artist who captured a stunning collection of photos featuring Hannah. Surprisingly, the photos gained immediate popularity upon being posted online, and my clothing designs garnered attention as well. I want to seize this opportunity to declare my independence as a designer, so Iâm meeting with this artist this afternoon to discuss publicity strategies.â
To quell his doubts, she showed him the photographs.
Brandonâs jealousy subsided somewhat as he examined the photos featuring Hannah, adorned in Natalieâs designs amidst the pastoral landscape.
âThe artistâs eye for aesthetics is commendable,â he conceded, pride swelling in his chest. âHeâs done your designs justice.â Brandon nodded proudly.
As Natalie watched him feign generosity, she couldnât help but laugh. âThen help me choose a stunning dress. I must take this meeting seriously to become independent of Mr. Wesleyâs studio and establish myself as a renowned designer!â
Though reluctant, Brandon couldnât deny his wifeâs charm and assisted in selecting the perfect dress.
Donning a knee-length number, Natalie twirled before Brandon, inquiring, âWhat do you think? Is this one lovely?â
His eyes darkened, observing her delicate legs. âNo, itâs too short.â
With a sigh, she tried another.
And another.
âNo, your back is exposed.â
