Chapter 133 Stinging photos
Natalie let out a disdainful snort. “Me, seducing men? Flirting with them?”
“Why? I’m standing right here. Are you still going to deny it?” Julian’s fists tightened as he spoke, his
frustration evident in his voice.
“Deny it?” Natalie found it amusing. “It was meant to be insignificant, but you’ve already interpreted it that
way. Does it even matter if I deny it or not?”
Natalie was acutely aware that Julian held no faith in her words, knowing that whatever she said would fall
on deaf ears.
Jerry stood to the side, his mind reeling, as he struggled to process the situation. It took him a significant
amount of time to regain his composure, and finally, he mustered the words, “This…”
Jerry could clearly perceive that there was information being withheld from him by both Julian and Doctor Nancy. Their actions and expressions made it evident that a secret existed, leaving Jerry feeling excluded
and unaware of the full picture.
They clearly had something he didn’t know.
Jerry’s confusion grew as his eyes caught a glimpse of the woman standing next to Julian, who was
unmistakably smiling.
According to Jerry’s intuition, this woman appeared to be gloating.
Upon hearing Natalie’s words, Julian’s gaze remained fixed on her as he uttered, “You don’t even bother to deny it… Natalie.”
“Good… Very good,” the words practically squeezed out between his teeth.
Natalie looked at him and said, “The person who doesn’t want me to deny is you. Now that I haven’t denied it
as you wished, shouldn’t you be happy?” Natalie’s words carried a playful tone.
“Natalie!” Julian’s words already carried a hint of anger.
Niki finally couldn’t bear to listen anymore. She spoke up, “You colluded with men everywhere to bring shame
to the Graham family. You have no shame at all; you are so self-righteous.”
After uttering these words, she walked out from behind Julian, her face displaying a sarcastic expression.
“Do you have any shame? How did Julian not realize before that you were such a shameless woman?”
Natalie didn’t bother to explain, but upon seeing Niki, she immediately understood why Julian had suddenly
appeared.
“I don’t need someone without shame to teach me how to behave,” she retorted, casting a cold gaze at Niki.
After saying this, Natalie approached Niki and asked, “Did you do it on purpose?”
“Excuse me?” Niki responded, clearly puzzled.
Natalie arched an eyebrow and spoke out fully, “Bringing Julian here today was intentional on your part.”
Nikl’s heart skipped a beat. How could Natalie know? They hadn’t seen each other this morning!
But then Niki had a thought. Natalie was probably just making an educated guess without any evidence. She wouldn’t admit to something without proof. “Why would I do it on purpose? I simply entered the wrong room,”
Niki replied, denying any intention behind her actions.
“Walked into the wrong room, huh?” Natalie nodded, not surprised by Niki’s response. She knew Niki wouldn’t
admit it.
“No, you’re trying to deflect the topic! We’re talking about the embarrassment you caused the Graham
family!” Niki suddenly realized that Natalie had led her off track.
Jerry, who had remained silent all along, spoke up suddenly. “Miss, I’m not sure what you mean by ‘causing embarrassment to the Graham family”?”
Jerry’s eyes carried a sense of disgust as he looked at Niki, remembering the smirk she had just displayed.
“What do you mean you don’t know? You and Natalie alone in the same room…” Niki didn’t finish her
sentence, leaving it hanging.
Jerry caught the name mentioned in Niki’s words-Natalie. Nancy, the name of the doctor, was Natalie? Was
this woman implying a connection between herself and Doctor Nancy?
Observing Jerry’s pensive expression, Niki sneered, “Even if Natalie denies it, she’s just being defensive and
afraid. Are you also going to deny it?”
She raised her phone slightly, indicating that she had photos as evidence.
“What photos?” Julian and Natalie both exclaimed almost simultaneously, though their facial expressions differed. One’s gaze turned sharp in an instant, while the other was filled with confusion and doubt.
“Of course, it’s the photos of you and Jerry,” Niki replied with a mischievous smile.
Jerry frowned.
Natalie let out a cold laugh. She knew there was nothing between her and Jerry, and she had minimized her
interactions with him as much as possible.
She was curious to see what kind of photos Niki could present as evidence.
Niki didn’t waste any time and boldly displayed the prearranged photos on her phone, holding it up
conspicuously in front of her chest.
Natalie instinctively reached out to take a look at the photos.
Niki raised an eyebrow and skillfully avoided Natalie’s hand, handing the phone directly to Julian instead.
Natalie was speechless.
Julian received the phone with a stern face, his dark eyes fixed on the photo. In the picture, a man and a
woman were standing closely, both with smiles on their faces.
Although the photo showed them standing near a dim street lamp, making their faces less distinct, the
infectious smile on the girl’s face in the picture was captivating.
The image felt particularly piercing to Julian’s eyes.
Despite the blurry quality of the photo, it exuded a strong sense of ambiguity and intimacy.
Natalie’s smiling and charming appearance in the photo made Julian feel like something had exploded in his
mind.
Niki secretly observed Julian’s expression and noticed his increasingly displeased face. She felt satisfied with the reaction she had provoked.
However, that wasn’t enough for her. She wanted to fuel the fire even more.
Niki leaned closer to Julian, her finger lightly touching the phone screen as she swiped past the provocative
photo. The following pictures that appeared clearly worsened Julian’s expression.
In the new set of photos, the man and woman were even closer than in the previous picture. They were so
close that one could say they were embracing each other tightly….
Julian’s eyes turned pitch black to the extreme, and his hand holding the phone began to tremble.
“Julian… These photos were sent to me by Gina. Even Niki was surprised when she saw them. I never expected Natalie to do something like this,” Natalie explained, trying to defend herself.
‘First, she was with Philip, and now she’s embracing Jerry…. I just can’t understand it,” Niki said, shaking her
head in disbelief.
“Shut up!” Julian shouted in anger. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
The buzzing voice of Niki talking in his ear only served to irritate him further.
Niki was startled, her lips trembling. “Julian…” she began, but seeing his current expression, she dared not
say anything more.
Since the objective had already been achieved…
Natalie’s eyelashes trembled lightly as she heard Niki’s words. “Embracing each other…?” she repeated in
disbelief.
Julian forcefully threw the phone onto the dining table, the dull sound of it hitting the wooden surface. indicating the strength and anger behind his action.
His deep and inscrutable gaze fixed on Natalie as he suppressed his discomfort. “Take a look for yourself and see if you have anything left to say,” he said, his voice strained.
Natalie took a few steps forward and picked up the phone. The screen was bright, making it effortless to see
the photo clearly.
Indeed, the photo showed her with Jerry, but the pose… She had never embraced Jerry like that before.
Natalie took another careful look at the photo… The scene was from the day she had come out of the Fu
Get Bogus
family’s place.
She tried to recall.
That day, the only moment of closeness between her and Jerry… was when her bag had dropped, and Jerry
had bent down to pick it up, causing them to accidentally collide.
Was this photo taken at that time?
Julian waited for Natalie’s denial, but she remained silent, her eyes fixed on the photo, deep in thought.
Does this mean she has silently admitted it…?
Julian felt his emotions spiraling out of control. To contain his rising anger, he averted his gaze and looked
away.
Julian’s gaze was drawn to the paper contract on the table.
How did a contract end up on the table?
