Chapter 901 The Hunter And The Prey Part Five Before long, Natalie had her crystal needles accurately inserted into Jerryâs acupoints, and Jerry could feel the symptom of his asthma subsiding. Soon, the man realized he could breathe easier again.
It was only after seeing colors return to Jerryâs face that Natalie pulled her needles out.
âHow did a waitress like you learn how to treat asthma?â If Jerry were not the person at Natalieâs mercy, he would not believe she could cure acute asthma with just a handful of inconspicuous needles.
âDo you want to hear the hard truth or the easy lie?â Natalie gave the man a half-smile before continuing, âIf you want the easy lie, I didnât.â
âYou...â Growing up, nobody in the Jones family dared to defy Jerry because of his condition. Hence, he had no idea how to respond to someone as audacious as Natalie.
She was still packing her needles when Olivia finally found Jerry on the terrace.
After glancing at Natalie and his brother in disheveled clothes, Olivia immediately boiled with anger.
âJust what the heck are you up to? Flirting with my fiancé wasnât enough for you? Now you have to seduce my brother too?â
Olivia then stomped toward Natalie and lifted her hand, intending to give the woman a hard slap on the face.
Even though Jerry could not stop his sister in time, Oliviaâs hand halted within inches of Natalieâs face.
âLet go of my hand!â roared Olivia at Natalie.
âWhy? So you can slap me?â Do I look like Iâm that stupid?â asked Natalie rhetorically as she narrowed her eyes at her attacker.
Natalie was only at the party to talk business with the Stones, so getting into trouble with the Joneses was definitely not what she expected.
However, it did not mean that she was just going to let the Joneses push her around.
âWho the heck do you think you are to talk to me like that?â questioned Olivia.
âOlivia, itâs not what you think.â Jerry hurried over to his sister after buttoning his shirt to explain, âI just had an asthma attack and realized I didnât have my inhaler on me. She helped my condition with acupuncture.â
Olivia was slightly taken aback but still refused to believe her brother.
âDid she do something to you, Jerry? Is that why youâre trying to protect her?â
âIâm not! Iâm telling you the truth, Olivia. I owe her one, so you canât treat her like that,â replied Jerry earnestly.
However, he had no idea that his sister was already blinded by jealousy. Even when Amos was alone with Olivia, it was obvious to her that he could not stop thinking about Natalie, so she vowed to make the woman pay.
âJust admit that youâre lying to me, Jerry!â shouted Olivia. âI donât even remember the last time you had an asthma attack, and now you come up with this ridiculous lie to protect her?â
âThatâs not what Iâm doing, Olivia.â
âIâm not listening to you!â
After glancing coldly at Olivia, Natalie released the womanâs hand before chiming in, âYour brotherâs telling you the truth.
Whether you want to listen to him is up to you. Iâm only going to say this once, so you decide if you want to believe me. Iâm not interested in anybody, man or woman, at this party.â
Natalieâs tone was cold and firm, leaving no room for doubts; Her facial features were captivating yet indignant.
Olivia was so startled by Natalieâs fierce look that she froze for a while even after the woman released her.
She only returned to her senses when Natalie looked away.
Like his sister, Jerry was stunned for a moment as well.
He had seen many ladies in his life, but none of them was even half the woman Natalie was.
Even though Natalie was dressed in a vulgar bunny costume, she exuded an aura so intense that anyone would think twice before messing with her.
