“Natasha!” Madeline exclaimed, her face lit up with surprise as she turned to see her.

The party was held outdoors in the villa’s backyard.

Natasha glided through the garden in a flowing white gown that seemed to shimmer like moonlight, her beauty breathtaking and unforgettable.

Her chin was slightly raised, her eyes bright and lively, adding a touch of elegance and spirit to her already stunning features.

Madeline instantly broke into a smile. She was proud of Natasha.

None of the other women there could hold a candle to Natasha in terms of beauty.

What made Madeline even happier was that Natasha had really shown up. She wondered if that meant that Natasha was willing to reconcile with her family.

Madeline had already forgotten about the threats Natasha had made before.

Andrew’s expression softened as well. “Alright, since you’re here, let’s go inside. We don’t want to keep the guests waiting.”

He gave her outfit another look, satisfied that she at least understood the occasion.

“Wait a second,” Natasha said with a smile, stepping in front of everyone. Under their confused stares, she added slowly, “Let’s settle a personal matter first.”

Before anyone could react, she delivered a stinging slap right across Noel’s face.

His handsome, sunny face instantly swelled up.

“Natasha, why did you hit me?” Noel was practically losing it.

He thought, “Seriously, what kind of sister just walks up and slaps her brother?

‘What did I even do wrong?‘

Natasha’s expression was icy. Even though she was shorter than him, she always acted like she was above him. “Because you’re rude, arrogant, and stupid.”

Noel didn’t quite get what she meant, but he sure knew she was cursing him out.

He almost lashed out in return, but Thomas quickly stepped in to hold him back.

Today was supposed to be Natasha’s big day, and she couldn’t show up with a bruise.

Besides, the guests would make fun of them if word got out that they were hitting each other at their own party.

Olivia and Madeline, her eyes brimming with tears, led Noel away to put some ice on his

face.

With that slap mark on his cheek, there was no way he’d dare show up again tonight.

That slap completely shattered the Clark family’s wishful thinking.

Natasha hadn’t come here to make peace. She was here to make them pay.

Andrew’s face was stormy. “Alright, you’ve slapped him and let off steam. Can we go now?”

Natasha shot him an even colder look, standing her ground. “Where’s the bracelet?”

“Your mom will give it to you after the party,” Andrew replied.

“No way. I want it now. I don’t trust you people,” Natasha shot back.

Andrew’s nostrils flared with anger. “Well, we don’t trust you either!”

She came in swinging, slapping her brother without hesitation. This made Andrew doubt that she’d go along with their plan.

Natasha compromised. “Fine. Have her give the bracelet to the butler first. I want it to be publicly presented to me as my birthday gift at the party.”

Andrew snorted. “Okay.”

With the deal struck, the whole Clark family plastered on fake smiles and headed into the party together, but it was all just for show.

As they entered, the crowd’s eyes lit up at the sight of the stunning Natasha walking with Thomas behind Andrew.

“Is that the Clark family’s youngest daughter? She’s gorgeous! How come I’ve never seen her before?” someone whispered to their neighbor.

The neighbor replied, “Of course not. The eldest daughter was always the one showing up at

events.

The first one said, “The younger one never even had a birthday party. No wonder you don’t recognize her.”

The other person said, “With looks like that, why keep her hidden?”

Someone else said, “You wouldn’t understand…”

As they drew near, people started whispering to each other.

Most of the people at the party found their eyes glued to Natasha’s stunning face. It was impossible to look away.

One rich kid who knew the Clark family well clicked his tongue. “Gotta admit, Natasha might have a temper, but she’s a total knockout.

“What do you guys think? Should I go for her?”

His friend snorted. “Don’t even think about it. Didn’t your family tell you the Clark family and Wright family are announcing an engagement tonight?”

“No wonder Lucas is out.front acting like family, greeting guests at the door,” someone else

chimed in.

“Talk about luck. Lucas really hit the jackpot,” someone said with a jealous edge.

He had a wealthy family, good looks, and he had always been the role model among his peers. Now he was about to land a gorgeous fiancée.

Though Natasha had a wild streak, when it came to guys and girls, it was about looks anyway.

With a face like that, people would bend over backwards just to make her happy.

“What can you do? The guy’s had a twenty–year head start,” someone else chimed in.

They had known each other since they were three. There was no way others could compete with that kind of relationship.

The group was full of sighs and whispers. In a corner, Matthew Hill, who had recently dyed his hair back to black from blue, silently downed a glass of wine,

Matthew scoffed inwardly, ‘Childhood sweethearts, huh?

“That just means it’ll hurt even more when they break up. I can’t wait to see the look on their faces when everything falls apart,

‘If the proposal failed back then, this whole engagement shouldn’t even be happening.’

He stood up, set his glass down, and walked out of the party, leaving all the noise and

excitement behind.

Meanwhile, Lucas couldn’t take his eyes off Natasha, who had stolen the spotlight.

He’d thought she wouldn’t show, but her stunning entrance left him genuinely amazed, his eyes shining with delight.

‘Figures. With all the memories and history we share, Alexei doesn’t stand a chance against that,‘ he thought.

“Natasha.” He stepped forward, reaching out to take her hand.

But she pulled away with clear distaste, not letting him touch her.

Ever since he’d teamed up with the Clark family to force her into this party, Lucas had turned into someone ugly and cruel in her memories:

She thought, ‘Getting tangled up with Olivia wasn’t enough for him, now he’s here pretending to be all affectionate in front of me?‘

She never believed that people would love others by hurting them.

Lucas’s smile froze for a moment, but he quickly smoothed it over.
