NovelAppChapter 496
Parents shouldn’t be instilling such ideas in their kids from a young age.
Comelia had always found Natalia’s affection for Marcus a bit off. A guy who never smiled at a girl,
couldn’t even remember what she looked like. Yet she still talked about wanting to marry him every day.
Unless she was into some kind of self torture, how could this be possible?
Turned out, the root of the problem lied within Natalia’s family
Cornelia thought for a moment, then said [Natalia, as you said. Those were things from your childhood.
Now you’re grown up, you can think for yourself. Forget what they said to you, forget Marcus, and just
live your own life]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalia replied with a bitter smile [Cornelia, it’s not that I don’t want to It’s that I can’t]
Cornelia asked. [Is there something you can’t tell me?]
Natalia said [No. Alright, I won’t bother you anymore. Go get some sleep.]
Comelia didn’t press further. [Alright, you should get some rest too]
After ending the chat, Natalia stared at Cornelia’s messages. She knew all these things, but she was
powerless to change anything. Looking at the long message, she zoned out, her vision blurring
After an unknown amount of time, her dimmed phone screen lit up again. It was a call from an unknown
number. “Hello! Who’s this?” She asked.
A charming but dangerous male voice came through, I’m offering you a chance to be with Marcus. Do
you want it?”
“Yes! I want it!” Natalia answered without hesitation. Only after did she think to ask, “Who are you?
How do you know what I want?”
The voice on the other end said deeply. “I’m Zavier.”
“Zavier“, a name that anyone born into the Reese family would know.
He was the king of the Capital, controlling many people’s fates. He was as young as Marcus, and
equally influential in the business world.
Natalia didn’t understand why Zavier would want to help her, “Mr. Rivera, why are you helping me be
with Marc?”
Zavier didn’t answer her question and coldly said, “If you’re at the Riverside Terrace Club on Maple
Avenue in 20 minutes, Marcus will be yours tonight. If you’re not, I’ll have to give him to someone else.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No! You can’t give him to someone else! I’m leaving right now. Be there in 20 minutes.” Natalia left in a
hurry without even confirming if Marcus was really there
She took the family car and headed straight to the location.
Natalia had never heard of the Riverside Terrace Club before and thought it was just a small, unknown
place. Upon arriving and seeing the luxurious facilities, she realized that even the Reese family might
not be eligible to be members.
Someone was waiting for her at the entrance and led her directly into a courtyard! The courtyard was
filled with various buildings, small bridges, and streams, looking like a fairyland.
Riverton was an international city with expensive real estate. To own a club of thousands of square feet
here, the owner must have an extraordinary identity.
-Natalia was led into a loft where a man dressed entirely in black with a stern face was sitting.
He was smoking a cigarette, puff after puff. Only after he finished did he turn his head to look at her, his
gaze seemingly scrutinizing her, yet with a hint of disdain, “You’re Natalia?”
Natalia nodded, “You’re Mr. Rivera, right?”
