The Imposter Bride

Chapter 265

She didn’t want to entertain any dark thoughts. No matter how much they despised her, they wouldn’t wish her dead, would they?

However as the car behind hers drew nearer, Natalia felt her heart sink. Yes, that was Addison’s car. No doubt about it.

What was she up to?

Natalia was perplexed, unsure why Addison was tailing her. Maybe she had something important to say?

Suddenly, it dawned on her that she had forgotten to tell Addison about her mother’s death. After all, Kyler had raised her, and her mother had been his best friend.

Considering this, Natalia slowed her car and rolled down her window Soon, the car behind caught up. Natalia knew Addison had always loathed her. It seemed she was in for some trouble.

“Natalia! You’re such a bitch! How dare you show your face! Addison shouted, her car running parallel to Natalia’s.

Natalia frowned, raising her car window again to avoid hearing Addison’s harsh words

But her actions only stoked Addison’s anger Natalia, you little tramp, you’ve turned my Kendra into a shell of a person. Why don’t you just go to hell!

“Natalia, the Clarkson family must have committed some sin in a past life to deserve you. You’ve turned our household upside down. You slut!

“Natalia, have the guts to roll down your window Do you think you can hide and pretend you don’t hear me? You’re trash!”

As Addison drove, she spat out abusive words at Natalia, wishing she could drag Natalia out of her car and beat her senseless.

As Addisons insults became more vicious, Natalia’s frown deepened. She glanced at Jonas and noticed his anxious expression, clearly affected by Addison’s tirade

She couldn’t let this go on Natalia hit the brakes, bringing the car to a slow stop

Taken by surprise, Addison also stopped, almost hitting her head in the process. This only fueled her rage. She pushed her car door open and got out, marching toward Natalia’s car and banging on the window “Natalia, you little bitch, come out!”

Natalia paused before exiting her car, her gaze cold upon Addison Jonas followed, confusedly watching Addison

Addison saw the innocent Jonas up close and felt a surge of jealousy. Natalia’s indifferent expression further ignited her wrath. With a swift motion, Addison tried to slap Natalia

But Natalia caught Addison’s wrist in mid–air. “What are you trying to do?” Natalia asked coldly, gripping Addison’s wrist tightly.

“Let go of me, you tramp I’ll ruin your facel it’s your face that’s caused all the trouble Addison struggled to free herself from Natalia’s grasp

Natalia watched Addison’s struggle with an icy stare, as if watching a clown perform “What’s wrong with my face? What got into you, Mrs Clarkson?

As Addison struggled, she spat out, “It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, my Kendra wouldn’t be in this state. You’re a curse! If I’d known this would happen, I would have strangled you in your cradle. You’ve stolen Kendra’s happiness!”

Hearing Addison’s bitter words, Natalia felt a chill. “Oh, I should thank you for your mercy then. But what happened to Kendra has nothing to do with me. It wasn’t me who

hurt her”

“You dare say that! It’s all because of you! Magnus wouldn’t have taken his anger out on Kendra if you hadn’t decided to jump into the sea. He wouldn’t have thrown her into that underground gambling den, where she, where she was…”

Addison couldn’t continue. Her daughter’s ordeal was her greatest shame, and she would never tell Natalia about it. But Natalia had caught on. No wonder Addison was so furious. It seemed Kendra had suffered greatly in that gambling den

” sympathize with her, but it has nothing to do with me. Please don’t interfere with my life again, or I won’t be polite next time.”

With that, Natalia released Addison’s wrist, opened the car door for Jonas, and drove off

Watching Natalia’s car disappear, Addison clenched her teeth in anger. “Natalia, I swear I’ll make you pay!”

Inside the car, Natalia drove calmly, though her mind was a whirlpool of thoughts. Addison’s outburst suggested Kendra’s situation was dire. But it had nothing to do with her She couldn’t control what Magnus didContent (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Mom, you were so cool just now Jonas said, looking at Natalia with admiration. He had watched the whole confrontation and was frustrated by the obnoxious woman yelling at his mother

But his mom had been so powerful, grabbing that woman’s hand and sternly warning her. It was so impressive!

Natalia gave a wry smile and shook her head, choosing to remain silent. They continued driving until they finally reached Lexi’s house.

Upon knocking Natalia found Lexi’s mom looking rather crestfallen. She held out the gift she’d brought and asked, “Is Lex home?”

Lexi’s mom heaved a heavy sigh. “Oh dear ever since she went abroad, she’s become like a ghost, never even a call or a text. I just don’t understand why she can’t see how worried we are

Natalia froze. This didn’t add up. The last time she was in England, Lexi had specifically left a note saying she was coming back home!

But Natalia held her tongue, afraid that revealing this to Lex’s mom might cause more distress.

“Well, I guess I’ll head back then if she does come home, could you please let her know I was looking for her?” Natalia left her gift at the doorstep, deciding not to enter

“Natalia, dear, there was no need to bring a gift. We have everything we need here. Please, take it back”

“No, it’s just a small token of my appreciation. Please, keep it. And when Lexi comes back, remember to have her call me” With that, Natalia led Jonas away

“Such a polite girl Lexi’s mom picked up the gift, sighing again. “I just wish Lexi would remember to get in touch. She can be so stubborn at times.”
