Chapter 185 I Dare You to Hurt Her
Undoubtedly, Reuben was good at drawing everyone's attention.
His words stunned everyone present.
He mentioned a disease that sounded terrible and filled the people with fear. They felt Natalie would die
anytime.
The host of her body suffered from the disease, and Natalie learned it from Owen. Her mother didn't
protect her well during pregnancy, so she had aortic stenosis, but it was not serious and wouldn't affect
her daily life.
Of course, it didn't matter much for ordinary people.
For such a wealthy family as the Ramsey family, the women who married into the family should have
excellent and flawless genes, lest the next generation would be affected.
Seth was choosing his heir at the moment.
Reuben suddenly brought this up.
His purpose was self-explanatory.
Natalie looked up at Reuben and Melvin calmly and sneered quietly. Sure enough, everyone got smart
in the fight for the best benefits. They were well aware of what Seth cared about the most, and they
knew where to start.
At this moment, she calmed down.
She suddenly felt greatly relieved.
She had been hiding this from Kendrick for days. She was in a dilemma, wondering how she would
explain her condition honestly to Kendrick. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
After all, it was not only a matter of her own health.
And this was not something only concerning the two of them.
She was married to the top wealthy family.
So, she needed to consider the health of her children.
Fortunately, she didn't have to worry about that now because Reuben had told the Ramsey family
everything.
Natalie wanted to bow to Reuben at this moment and expressed her gratitude.
She couldn't feel his affection for her at all. Instead, he did everything to corner her and even wished to
kill her.
Natalie believed that Reuben would not hesitate to trample on her if she was abandoned by the
Ramsey family today.
Why did he do that?
She just cut her ties with him.
He failed in his investment because he was greedy and selfish. She didn't even make any moves to
deal with him.
What a heartless man!
Kendrick turned pale at Reuben's revelation, and he looked colder in the light. He turned to look at
Natalie with difficulty.
Was this what she had been keeping from him?
Was she afraid?
He didn't know why.
Was she afraid that he would detest her after he found out he was deceived?
After all, her physical checkup report showed she was in good health when they got engaged.
Kendrick was struggling inside at this moment. He wished to slap himself for threatening her a few days
ago. He had frightened her, so she didn't dare to tell him about it and turned to someone else secretly
for the medicine.
Natalie broke the silence and said slowly, "To put it accurately, aortic stenosis is caused by external
factors such as the medicines taken during pregnancy, viruses, pollution, and radiation. But the
problem is minor and doesn't affect one's work, study, and daily activities."
Natalie gave a brief introduction to the disease.
She didn't allow Reuben to fool everyone in front of her.
She knew much better than him.
When people heard this, there was silence again.
Melvin sneered evilly like a poisonous snake. "Your disease is not serious, or you would have died.
How about your children? Are you going to put our dignified descendants in such danger?"
He suddenly raised his voice and said with grief, "You have an eight percent chance of passing the
disease to your children. Kendrick is crippled, and his life is wretched. How can his children suffer from
heart disease? What's the meaning of life if they can't run, jump, ride horses, go skiing, or go surfing?"
His words hit home.
He said these words with ulterior motives.
But he had a point there.
What kind of children did Natalie want to have?
She couldn't just give birth to them without making plans for their future and health.
The silence encouraged Melvin, who continued earnestly, "I'll cite an example for you so that you know
what eight percent means."
Natalie thumped the table with her hands and abruptly stood up, looking into Melvin's eyes. Her cold
eyes silenced him instantly.
She gripped the edge of the table as if she would upturn it the next second.
She had had enough of it.
Among the men present, Reuben was worthless and good at nothing but stabbing her from behind. He
failed in all his investments. He was a cursed man.
Melvin was worse. He would be rejected even if he donated his organs because he was a hepatitis B
virus carrier. He was notoriously indiscreet about his private life and might carry HIV.
Seth was headstrong, autocratic, and self-centered. He didn't accept criticism, and everyone had to
coax him even though he was in his seventies. Kendrick inherited half of his characteristics.
As for Kendrick, her husband, he didn't know how to rub the essence oil even though he was taught
many times, and she had to massage him patiently again and again. Last time, her hair got sucked into
the hair dryer when he dried her hair, and he asked her if she noticed the burnt smell. Considering that
he had stood up for her just now, she would spare him.
The three old men gathered together now.
Were they going to teach her a lesson?
No matter what, she was a genius. Although she was not adored, she was well respected. Everyone
greeted her respectfully.
But now, she was an insignificant wife in a wealthy family. Why did she have to lie low and please
everyone?
Natalie picked up the cup on the table and tossed it to the ground, making a loud sound.
"You don't have to tell me this!" She raised her eyebrow and said icily, "Who are you to teach me what I
should do?"
Natalie sneered and continued, "Do you care about my children? Why don't you do something good for
your child? If he knows that his father is a nasty man when he grows up, he will be ashamed. He won't
dare to make friends, nor will he dare to express his love for the girls. He doesn't know who his mother
is. He will feel embarrassed because his father sucks. What's the meaning of his life?"
Natalie ridiculed Melvin fearlessly.
She was not afraid to take the challenge.
Her words hit home. Enraged, Melvin tossed a cup at Natalie violently. Kendrick quickly protected her,
and the cup hit his back. His navy blue coat got wet, and the cup shattered on the ground.
Kendrick felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand, but he only frowned slightly.
The tension in the air was intense.
Melvin was fuming with anger.
He was determined to teach Natalie a good lesson today.
This scheming woman had brought him ill luck recently. The woman he fancied was sent to prison by
Natalie, and Seth detested him. The board of directors was a group of fence sitters who took Kendrick's
side.
Melvin wouldn't tolerate it.
He rolled up his sleeves and dashed at Natalie to hit her.
Before he moved, a dark muzzle pressed against his waist.
It was an M1911 11.43 mm pistol with the safety off.
Kendrick raised his eyebrow and said in a steady but menacing voice, "I dare you to hurt her."
