SWNOVELS Chapter 35 A Heavy Slap
Chapter 35 A Heavy Slap
Just as Spencer picked up a piece of steak, it fell onto a dinner plate.
He didn't want to know more things about this group of people.
Now, he just wanted to find a safe place to hide.
Seeing that Natalie didn't speak, Sophia was pleased, "How dare you say you don't remember?" Sophia turned to Kendrick intentionally, and said with a gloomy smile, "Natalie, you still asked me to lend him money and I almost lent money every time you asked me."
Natalie thought, "I really didn't remember that. And I didn't do those things."
Natalie's silence gave Sophia great courage. She felt that she could fight back again, so she gritted her teeth and laughed, "Now you think that you have found a new supporter, and you want to show your loyalty?"
It was true that Sophia was more difficult to be dealt with.
She was vicious!
Sophia became more unscrupulous. She turned to Kendrick and said, "Actually, my sister..."
"Shut up!"
Kendrick's voice was as cold as ice.
His thin lips were pursed, the veins in his hands resting on the wheelchair were bulging, and the lines of his profile were clear and harsh under the light.
Obviously, he was angry.
Sophia didn't know that and wanted to open her mouth to continue.
Kendrick tilted his face.
"Pa-"
Sophia received a loud slap on the face.
It was a slap from Kendrick's bodyguard in black.
This group of people were personally selected by Kendrick. They had followed him for many years and they were both skilled and loyal.
It didn't matter whether you were a man or a woman, as long as Kendrick gave an order, you would be punished.
With a height of 1.9 meters, the bodyguard who was a former world fighting champion was naturally stronger than ordinary people. Sophia was slapped and fell to the ground, unable to even get up.
Her ears were buzzing, and her nose was filled with blood.
She even spat out a bloody tooth.
People at the scene had different responses.
Spencer was surprised. He had almost never seen Kendrick's bodyguards slapping others in public.
It seemed that Kendrick was really angry.
For so many years, Kendrick's philosophy of life was to be alone and stand aloof.
But now his own house was burning.
So he must take some action.
People would not try messing with Kendrick.
Natalie was also stunned.
What a powerful slap! It could even knock out a person's teeth.
Sophia sat on the ground with the support of her friend. Her eyes were staring straight, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She was completely stunned.
"You...you dare to hit me?" Sophia finally came back to her senses, covered her swollen face, and picked up the phone with trembling hands, "I...I'II..." She had already started pressing the phone, but she became hesitated when she suddenly saw the person around her.
If she let others know this thing...
She couldn't even hide her own secrets.
Thinking of this, Sophia raised her face angrily, and cursed at Natalie, "Remember this! I will return this slap sooner or later."
Natalie was speechless.
It wasn't she who slapped Sophia! It was Kendrick.
How could Sophia return the slap to her?
Sophia was bullying the weak, wasn't she?
Sophia was extremely unwilling, and her face was contorted in anger. She turned to Kendrick and said, "You always protect her and you even don't know..."
"Pa-"
The black-clothed guy slapped her face again.
This time, Sophia was lying on the ground, completely unable to get up.
Kendrick snorted coldly, "How dare you say it again?"
The originally pleasant party was disrupted by Sophia, so it was stopped early.
Natalie also apologized to Prof. Mercado.
Spencer hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Nothing. I enjoyed this meal very much."
He had watched a great show!
Prof. Mercado even began to admire Natalie's courage.
But right now, Kendrick's face was so dark that he didn't dare to say more.
Natalie didn't dare to talk, either.
The silent atmosphere spread to the car.
Natalie took a look at Kendrick's expression, and it seemed that something was wrong.
Natalie bit her lip and was about to speak.
The man turned his face and asked, "Does your back still hurt?"
"No...ah, it is painful." Natalie nodded.
"Let me see!"
Natalie turned her back to Kendrick, and lifted up her clothes slightly.
The lights inside the car were dim, but some redness could still be seen on the back.
"How do you deal with burns?" Kendrick seemed to ask casually.
"It depends. If it is only mild, the surface is red but there are no blisters and no damage, I'll just rinse it with cold water and apply some ointment." Natalie answered naturally.
Just like an expert.
"I was reading the family first aid manual recently, and I just recited it here."
Natalie felt the silence and said hastily.
"We'll be home in ten minutes." Kendrick put down her clothes and said, "Ice it."
"Ok." Natalie nodded, like a well-behaved little rabbit. She turned her face with anticipation in her eyes when she looked at Kendrick.
Kendrick opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end all his emotions were suppressed in the night.
After a while...
A hand tugged at his sleeve.
Kendrick turned his face slightly, and then he met the girl's aggrieved face.
"Don't believe Sophia's words. She is sowing discord between us."
When these words came out...
Natalie was a little guilty.
She thought that the name "Orion Colon" had already turned the page, but she didn't expect that it would be mentioned by Sophia again.
Kendrick felt an inexplicable fire burning in his chest at this moment.
Was it Sophia who was too bold and presumptuous in front of him?
Or...?
The words said by Sophia made him uncomfortable.
"Sophia saw that you were protecting me, so she felt unhappy and said those outrageous things. You can't be fooled." Natalie took Kendrick's hand and said, "She doesn't have a happy marriage, so she doesn't like others. The man eating with her was not her husband, but a lesser-known star."
Natalie took out her mobile phone and put it in front of Kendrick and said, "I just remembered it."
Kendrick looked at it, lowered his eyelids, and said calmly, "I know!"
Natalie couldn't judge Kendrick's emotions from his words.
Natalie didn't have a deep understanding of love affairs, so she was unable to figure out Kendrick's heart.
But his attitude was not what she wanted.
Even Natalie didn't know what kind of response she hoped to get.
If Kendrick was angry, it meant that he cared about her.
If he was not angry, it meant that he didn't care about her.
But he didn't show any emotion on his face.
In an instant, some inexplicable grievances surged up in Natalie's heart.
Natalie calmed down and said, "The name Orion, if Sophia didn't mention it today, I have already forgotten it. This person has nothing to do with me now. I said that I would only follow your step in the future, so I will definitely. If you mind about him..."
Natalie blinked her eyes pitifully, and her voice also quieted down, "Then you can find him, but don't be angry with me."
"I'm not angry!" Kendrick said.
He just realized that the emotions surging in his heart were beyond his control, and he was a little confused.
"Really?" Natalie was not sure. She stared at him, and said in a very low voice, "Why? You can be angry!"
Kendrick said, "What?"
Natalie turned her face away, "Nothing."
Kendrick keenly caught Natalie's emotional changes. His brows were hidden in the dark and his expression was indistinct, only a calm voice sounded, "No matter what purpose Sophia has, I won't take her words to heart."
