Chapter 109 Apologies and Unyielding Determination
Finished
The next day, Nathaniel brought his sister, carrying nutritional supplements, to visit Victoria.
Naomi reluctantly apologized to Victoria.
“Madam Victoria, I was wrong. I wasn’t thinking clearly and drove into you by mistake. My brother has already punished me. Please forgive me!”
There were still red marks from the beating on her face. Seeing this, Victoria felt a bit soft–hearted and reproached, “Nathaniel, really, why did you actually hit her! I’m not blaming you. If anything, I blame myself for not being able to give Estella a background that matches the Hartwell family. It’s normal for your family to look down on us.”
Nathaniel said sincerely and with a sense of guilt, “Madam Victoria, what are you talking about? This is entirely Naomi’s fault. You have every right to hit her and scold her.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he knelt down on both knees without hesitation and, with a tug, pulled Naomi down to the floor beside him.
Naomi’s face was full of reluctance and unwillingness, but facing her brother’s pressure, she had no choice. but to comply.
Victoria was startled by this scene and quickly said, “Oh dear, please don’t do this! Get up, both of you. I’m really fine now!”
Then, she turned anxiously to Estella beside her and said quickly, “Estella, go help them up!”
Estella coldly watched the siblings and said sarcastically, “Mom, don’t bother with them. They’re just putting on a show. I’ve already decided to sue them. No matter what they say, it’s useless.”
Naomi’s face turned bright red with anger. Her chest heaved violently as she glared at Estella and shouted loudly, “Estella, you’re going too far! I’ve already apologized to your mother. Isn’t that enough? What more do you want?”
Seeing his sister’s unrestrained speech, Nathaniel’s anger flared up instantly.
Without hesitation, he raised his hand and slapped Naomi hard with a “thwack.”
The slap was very heavy. The swelling on Naomi’s cheek became more severe, and the burning pain made her involuntarily cover her face.
Naomi looked at her brother in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes, feeling wronged and confused.
She choked out, “Nathaniel, I’m your own sister! Growing up, you’ve never hit me like this. Now, you actually hit me for that woman. Are you still my brother?”
Naomi couldn’t understand when her brother, who used to not care about Estella, had changed.
Why was he now willing to hit me for this woman, without any regard for our sibling bond?

Victoria’s face was full of anger as she scolded Estella, “Estella, we’re family. Why can’t you let things go? As your mother, I’m not taking this seriously. Why are you being so petty?”
Faced with her mother’s reproach, Estella just gave a cold smile and did not back down, saying, “Mom, don’t talk nonsense. Today, no matter what, I’m going to get justice for you!”
Seeing her daughter’s strong attitude, Victoria was furious and slapped Estella hard.
“Are you determined to make things irreparable? Aren’t you afraid that you and Nathaniel will be completely broken and have no chance of reconciliation? How can’t you understand my good intentions?”
Victoria shouted in a rage, her body trembling violently.
Estella was dazed by the sudden slap, and her eyes quickly turned red.
With tears in her eyes, she looked at Victoria stubbornly, then turned around and left the ward without looking back.
