Chapter 337 No one can bully her
Natalie put down the spoon in her hand and looked at the apologetic Alexander.
Alexander continued to speak, repeating himself, offering apologies on behalf of his granddaughter.
Sitting in her seat, Natalie listened silently.
After a long speech, Alexander finished his drink in one go, as a gesture of sincerity. “I’ll finish this drink, consider it an apology on behalf of Lara,” he said.
With a “clink,” he placed the empty glass upside down on the table, creating a crisp sound that lingered.
Natalie raised an eyebrow.
Out of politeness, the moment Alexander finished speaking, she intended to stand up, pick up a glass, and pour some
water as a reciprocation.
It would be a response to Alexander’s apology.
However, before she could even rise, she heard a calm voice.
“Natalie, stay seated. There’s no need to get up.”
Natalie paused and turned to look at Tory.
Tory directly signaled her with his eyes, indicating that she should accept the apology and not worry about standing
1.
This whole situation was the fault of the Turner family.
Whether or not Natalie accepted this apology still required careful consideration….
There was no need for her to personally respond.
“Alexander, our Spears family has already acknowledged your apology.”
“But since this matter was caused by Lara, the daughter of the Turner family, Tory feels that it would be better for Lara to personally apologize.”
Tory spoke without moving his eyes, his slender fingers tightly grasping the teacup.
The teacup contained light green tea, emitting a faint fragrance. The man traced his rough pottery cup and spoke softly.
His demeanor carried an inexplicable sense of authority.
Natalle had never seen her uncle like this before, not even in the past.
She had always thought of him as an easygoing and agreeable person, but she never expected him to have such side.
Alexander fell silent upon hearing these words.
“Natalie, what do you think?” Tory turned to ask Natalie.
Any discerning person could see that Tory was not satisfied with the Turner family’s actions.
He wanted Lara to personally come and apologize to Natalie, rather than Alexander lowering his own dignity to apologize.
Their Natalie needed a sincere apology.
Upon hearing Tory passing the decision onto her, Natalie gently pursed her lips.
Honestly, deep down, she couldn’t help but admit that Alexander, a person of high moral standing, was willing to set aside his face and even visit their Spears family to apologize for his granddaughter…
As Lara’s elder, he had indeed done quite well.
But as the person who should apologize, his actions were a form of indulgence.
The fault clearly lay with Lara, yet during the apology, she wasn’t even present….
It was enough to see Lara’s attitude toward this matter.
Natalie sat quietly without expressing her opinion.
She had understood her uncle’s thoughts long ago, as clear as a mirror. Even if she said she could accept this apology, her uncle would insist that Lara personally apologizes.
Her attitude was actually not important.
Her uncle would stand in front, arranging everything for her.
He would give Lara a lesson and teach this carefree little princess a lesson so she would never dare to provoke him again.
Tory looked at Natalie and sighed in his heart.
The Natalie of their families had always been low-key, never standing out in the capital, despite her astonishing beauty and talent, and her numerous remarkable achievements.
Those privileged young ladies and rich girls in the capital didn’t even know that the Spears family had such a talented and virtuous girl.
That’s why Lara dared to bully Natalie. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Tory wanted to make a big deal out of this to serve as a warning to all the young ladies in the capital.
Natalie was the pearl of their Spears family, and no one should dare to bully her. If anyone dared, the Spears family wouldn’t let them off easily.
Seeing Tory’s unfriendly attitude at the moment, Alexander’s hand caressed the teacup, and his face showed a hint of
anger.
After all, he was the elder of the Turner family, and now he had compromised his dignity by personally apologizing to
a junior.
If it weren’t for the Spears family’s care and the use of some sophisticated equipment, the Turner family wouldn’t be able to compare to the Spears family in the field of medicine.
If the Turner family wanted to further develop in the medical field, they had to maintain a good relationship with the Spears family.
In order to maintain their cooperative relationship, he had personally come to the Spears family.
But he didn’t expect Tory to act so rudely and make some inexplicable demands.
He thought they could be easily bullied.
Alexander’s face turned unpleasant, and his tone was much harsher than before. “We only have Lara as a girl in our family, so we spoil her a bit.”
“Although she may speak and act recklessly and often lacks a sense of propriety, her heart is absolutely good.”
“There seems to be some misunderstandings in this matter, and we don’t want to strain our relationship. Please refrain from causing further complications.”
The meaning of his words was clear. What he had done now was already the bare minimum, and it was impossible for the Turner family to back down any further.
The Turner family was not someone to be manipulated.
The atmosphere became tense again, and the clash between their auras hung in the air, as if sharp blades.
Alexander had been watching for a while but still couldn’t figure out what had happened.
“Tory, explain clearly what happened and why the Turner family needs to apologize to Natalie.”
The atmosphere between the two was tense, and it was evident that something unusual had occurred.
Tory had no intention of concealing the matter and spoke candidly.
“During the communication meeting in Chicago, when Natalie failed to appear, we mobilized the armed forces of the Spears family to search the entire venue for her. Surely, you remember, don’t you?”
Of course, Adam remembered.
He had been extremely worried when Natalie didn’t show up during that time, thinking she had been targeted by evildoers.
But what did that have to do with the Turner family?
Hadn’t the Turner family skipped the communication meeting in Chicago altogether?

Tory continued his narration, “It was only later that I discovered someone intentionally locked Natalie in the dressing
room.”
“On such a cold day, Natalie stood in the room wearing nothing but a thin gown, unaware of how long she had been trapped there…”
“By the time she was found, she had developed a high fever.”
“The fever persisted and even showed signs of infection. If we had been slightly later, she could have been paralyzed
or even lost her life.”
“And the person who locked Natalie in the dressing room is none other than Lara, the so-called ‘good child’ in the
eyes of the Turner family.”
Tory looked at the displeased expression on Alexander’s face, hinting at something.
“Is this true?”
After hearing these words, Adam slammed the table and widened his eyes.
“Turner, can you confirm this?”
If Lara had indeed done this, the Spears family would never let the matter go so easily.
After all, she was his own granddaughter.
Such a precious granddaughter couldn’t be mistreated so casually.
Adam was usually amiable, but when it came to his granddaughter, he could instantly change his demeanor.
This was something Tory shared in common with him.
