Wife by Day, Boss by Night

Chapter 221

Natalie's brow creased as she listened to Madelyn's biting words.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"What exactly is going on between you and Brian? Do I need to remind you?" Madelyn continued with a sneer.

A memory of a conversation with Gracia flashed through Natalie's mind. Gracia had confided that Madelyn had paid someone to run her off the road, causing her miscarriage.

Natalie was beginning to believe it was indeed Madelyn.

Seeing Natalie silent, Madelyn stepped closer, her voice icy. "I am Nate's biological mother. Only Brian and I can be a family. Do you understand? I suggest you get real and stop entertaining those foolish fantasies. Brian's obsession with you is just an obsession. With me, it's the real deal.'

Natalie looked at her and suddenly laughed. "Even if you're Nate's mother, so what?"

"Did you not know that Brian's planning to transfer the deed of Majestic Meadows Manor into my name?"

Madelyn paused, her voice dropping an octave. "What did you say?"

"It's just waiting on my signature," Natalie said, slightly arching her brow. "I didn't want to sign, but I've decided I will for your sake. Then, as the rightful owner of the house, I will order you to

leave."

"You..." Madelyn's face flushed with rage as she raised her hand to slap Natalie. But her hand got caught in a vice-like grip before it touched Natalie's cheek.

"Let go of me!" Madelyn shrieked in pain.

Natalie's lips curled into a cold smile as she whispered, "Looks like you haven't had enough slaps yet!"

Madelyn was about to retort when she suddenly lost her balance, struggling free from Natalie's grip and tumbling headfirst into the pond!

Natalie reached out but couldn't catch her in time, her heart sinking.

Footsteps hurried over, and someone shoved Natalie aside, shouting, "What are you doing? Why did you push her into the pond? Madelyn can't swim!"

"Help! Madelyn's fallen into the pond!"

As Madelyn thrashed about in the water, screaming for help, the commotion drew people's attention from the nearby diner, who rushed over.

What a nasty trick!

Natalie hesitated a little before tossing aside what was in her hands, kicking off her shoes, and

leaping into the water. She swam swiftly to Madelyn's side.

Madelyn couldn't swim and clung to Natalie's hair like a lifeline, desperately trying

to keep her head above water, gasping for air.

When Brian arrived, Madelyn had been pulled out, but Natalie was still in the waten pale as a ghost, seemingly unable to swim to shore.

Her back injury hadn't healed and seemed to have aggravated during the rescue.

Without a second thought, Brian jumped into the pond, grabbed Natalie, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

Madelyn's high heels had trampled on Natalie's back during her struggle in the water

She had swallowed a lot of water, and as Brian lifted her out, her consciousness

was fading, murmuring, "Brian..."

Brian paused, his heart aching

unbearably. He carried her ashore,

and, without waiting for the hotel

staff to hand over a dry towel, he turned and slapped Madelyn hard on the ground!

Brian never hit women, but Madelyn had crossed a line!

Madelyn, who had been crying, was stunned into silence by the slap.

"Brian, Natalie started it," someone from the crowd said, equally stunned, trying

to explain.
