Chapter 131
It should be noted that Qasim's parents were much older than Natalie. Even if they were ordinary citizens, it was still difficult for them to apologize to a young girl in public.
Natalie's eyes flickered but she did not speak.
Qasim's parents pushed Qasim towards Natalie.
Qasim was always bossy and ruthless. He was young and he did not know how society worked. However, his parents forced him to come.
"Qasim, apologize to Natalie!" Mr. Lawson snapped sharply.
Qasim snorted coldly.
He stared at Natalie resentfully.
That b*tch was the cause of his injuries and his parents even asked him to apologize to her. How could he do that?
He was eager to beat Natalie up to get his revenge.
"Qasim, did you hear your father?'¹ Mrs. Lawson was anxious when Qasim did not move.
After the incident, Mrs. Lawson knew how powerful Tobias was and they could never afford to offend him. Tobias was looking out for that girl, hence they must apologize to her.
Mrs. Lawson hated herself for pampering her son. She even told him about Natalie's relationship with Tobias but Qasim was stubborn.
Qasim was unmoving and his body was tense.
"Qasim! What the hell are you thinking?" Mr. Lawson was agitated and he slapped Qasim in the face.
Immediately, a handprint appeared on Qasim's face.
Qasim covered his cheek with his hand and his eyes were burning with hatred.
"Apologize!" Mr. Lawson raised his voice.
"There's no need to apologize." A crisp female voice rang in the classroom. It was Natalie.
Everyone turned to Natalie as she spoke.
Natalie stared at Mr. Lawson and her eyes were gleaming. She continued, "Even if he apologizes, I won't accept it. I don't need you to force an apology out of him."
She paused and added, "You're a great father. You apologized on behalf of your son in public but it's a pity that you have a disappointing son."
After that, Natalie left without another word.
A mixture of emotions clouded Mr. Lawson's eyes. After a few moments, he dragged Qasim, who was rooted to the spot and left.
Natalie went out of the classroom and the crowd dumbfounded.
All the students exchanged confused looks and they could not believe their eyes.
How did things turn out like that?
Qasim's parents were influential in Aphagen City.
On the contrary, Natalie was poor and powerless. Any influential figure could squash her like an ant.
However, why did Qasim's parents apologize to Natalie? Moreover, she seemed very arrogant too.
In the end, everyone concluded that Natalie was just lucky.
Qasim bullied Natalie and coincidentally, his parents were reasonable. Therefore, they did not put up a fight and apologized to Natalie.
"That must be it. Although Qasim is quite terrible, his parents are very reasonable. Otherwise, that would never happen!"
"That's right. Natalie was so arrogant just now when she should be happy that they didn't touch her." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"Natalie is really lucky to meet Qasim's parents."
"She's just a poor woman, so why was she so arrogant? The big shots even came to apologize to her, so what's with that attitude?"
Yvonne and Sebastian ran out of the classroom to find Natalie.
Natalie was standing there with a thoughtful look.
Yvonne and Sebastian went over to Natalie and Yvonne said excitedly, "Natalie, you were so cool just now. You're an extraordinary woman to be so arrogant to Qasim's parents!"
Natalie smiled bitterly.
What? She knew very well that she was just putting up an act.
She just took advantage of Tobias' influence. Otherwise, why would Qasim's parents apologize to her? She was not stupid and she knew what was going on.
Sebastian's eyes were shining too. He praised, "Natalie, I knew that you were different. You're not afraid of power! That's great!"
Natalie stared at Sebastian and replied, "Sebastian, it's better to be cautious of influential people. Otherwise, they'll crush you immediately. You'd better not learn from me."
Sebastian held his breath and asked, "But didn't you just do that?"
Natalie's eyes were dark as she replied, "No one cares about me anyway. You have parents who love you but I have nothing. I don't care if they crush me but you're different."
Sebastian went blank.
Yvonne held Natalie's hand and uttered hurriedly, "Stop scaring Sebastian. You were so arrogant just now but nothing happened to you!"
"That's because of Tobias." However, Natalie did not manage to say that.
If she did, Yvonne and Sebastian would think that she was delusional.
"It's nothing, so let's stop discussing it." Natalie did not want to stay on that topic.
After class, Natalie spotted a red Ferrari when she walked to the entrance.
As soon as she appeared, the Ferrari honked at her.
Natalie was shocked.
Was it Remington again?
To no one's surprise, the window rolled down to reveal Remington's handsome face.
"Hey, beautiful, long time no see," Remington greeted Natalie with a sly smile.
Natalie was at a loss for words.
What did he mean by 'long time no see'? They just met the other day and he made Kimberly resent her.
Natalie heeded no attention to Remington and went to the bus stop.
However, Remington did not intend to let her go and he tailed her in his car.
Natalie stopped helplessly.
The Ferrari pulled over too.
Remington craned out his head and said, "Beautiful, do me a favor and get in the car."
"Mr. Remington, do you know your girlfriend, Kimberly, was very angry the last time you called me that? She's finding fault with me every single day now, so stop causing trouble for me, okay?" Natalie stared at Remington and exclaimed.
Remington paused for a moment and repeated blankly, "Kimberly?"
Natalie did not know what to say.
Sure enough, Remington forgot again.
How many women did he have to forget the name of the woman he kissed?
"She's the woman who was at the college gate. The other day, we saw her when you took the bus with me. The one who dresses up very alluringly."
"Oh." Remington suddenly recalled Kimberly and replied, "It's the woman who's prettier, had a better figure, and had a better fashion sense than you."
Natalie was speechless.
She glared at Remington and snapped, "Mr. Remington, you don't have to be so honest."
Remington chuckled, "Natalie. I'm always honest. I don't know how to lie."
The corner of Natalie's lips twitched. "She is so much more beautiful than me, so why don't you go and pester her? Why do you keep following me around?"
Remington raised his eyebrow. "Natalie, don't you know? Beauty catches the attention but it's the character that catches the heart."
