Chapter 39 Hold On, It'll Hurt A Little
"How dare you threaten me?"
Natalie shook her head as she listened to Nora's furious voice. She was surprised that Nora could still easily lose her composure despite her age.
However, Natalie was in a good mood today. So, she was willing to listen to Nora's gibberish.
"Isn't it kind of me to remind you?"
"You..." Nora really wanted to rush to tear Natalie's mouth so she could shut up.
"Enough. Stop talking nonsense," Natalie turned expressionless, and her voice was cold, "I'll sue you if you don't pay me back within seven days. You can wait for the court summons."
Nora's sharp voice almost hurt Natalie's eardrums, "You hit my daughter, and you still want to get money? It's impossible!"
"I didn't hit your daughter," Natalie said, "I just treated her like how she treated me. I splashed her with soup, that's all." These people were just bullies who preyed on the weak.
It was obviously Kendrick who had ordered someone to beat her, but they didn't even dare to mention his name.
They only bullied her.
Nora turned silent.
After a while, Nora spoke again. But this time, her tone softened, "We're family. There's no need to make things tough. How about this, let's talk about these when we meet." Needless to say, Nora was definitely thinking of bad ideas.
Natalie mocked, "You just turned fifty but your memory has faded? Who's your family? I sent a declaration to renunciate my inheritance rights long ago. Remember to urge Reuben to sign it." "You..." Nora gasped and said, "You don't want your stuff anymore, do you?"
Stuff?
Natalie couldn't understand what Nora meant.
As time passed by, the original owner's memories were fading until the point of disappearing.
"The stuff in your box. I've kindly kept them for you in the attic. If you don't want them, I'll throw them away immediately."
Natalie frowned. She was trying to recall the original owner's memories desperately.
Some vague memories emerged.
They were items important to the original owner from childhood to adulthood. They were locked in a box and the original owner tried to get them back before. However, Nora refused.
Without a reason.
Nora just wanted to embarrass and disgust Natalie. She threw the box directly into the attic and left it with ashes.
Now, the original owner was gone.
So these things...
Were the original owner's relic!
Natalie sighed in her heart.
Nora was pleased as she noticed Natalie wasn't speaking, "If you want to get your things back, you need to agree to my request."
Natalie was silent.
Nora started to turn unconfident.
She realized Natalie had changed too much recently.
Nora couldn't figure out her next move.
What if Natalie was stubborn and refused to agree?
Thinking of this, Nora immediately added, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. When the time comes, I'll bring the documents signed by your father and your things. We'll meet and have a good talk." Nora showed her trump card.
Natalie pursed her lips, "Send me the time and venue."
After hanging up the phone, Natalie closed her eyes and tried to recall.
Unfortunately, she couldn't remember what was in the box.
Nora put away her phone.
Sophia asked impatiently on the side, "She agreed?"
Nora nodded.
"Mom, I really can't let this go," Sophia said hatefully, "Do you see how my face has turned into?"
Nora patted Sophia's back heart-wrenchingly. She gritted her teeth and said, "My good daughter, I'll definitely take revenge for you."
Sophia was raised and trained as a socialite since she was a child. Her face was her only advantage compared to her ordinary brain.
However, her face now was swollen badly like a pig's head.
Sophia didn't dare to go home but told Nora about what happened secretly.
Nora looked at Sophia's face distressingly and sighed, "For such a beautiful face to hurt like this, I really want to scratch that mongrel's face immediately!"
"Mom, you've tricked her out to meet you. What are you going to do?"
A trace of malice crossed Nora's eyes, "I have my own plans."
Sophia leaned toward Nora's ear and muttered.
Nora nodded, "Okay. Let's do this."
Sophia sneered, "This time, we must ruin her," after speaking, her eyes narrowed, and said, "She's arrogant now because of Kendrick. But it's also quite strange. Why Kendrick is being protective of her?" Kendrick had always been a solitary person. Most people who met him would comment on him as gentle and polite.
Moreover, he seemed to be facing some difficulties in his career lately.
Therefore, Sophia had never expected that he would order people to hurt her.
It was shocking.
"She won't be able to last long," Nora continued, "I don't believe Kendrick can still protect her this time!"
Natalie was in an excellent mood today.
Good enough to want to cook.
Ashlynn asked cautiously, "What do you want to cook?"
Natalie asked, "What is Kendrick's favorite dish?"
Ashlynn, "..."
Kendrick wasn't a picky person. It was enough for him to follow the dietitian's recommendation to ensure a reasonable intake of protein-carbs ratio.
No other requirements.
"Perhaps, you don't know?" Natalie turned her face to Alisson, who had just returned from vacation, "Alisson, do you know?"
Alisson, "Mrs. Ramsey, I have always been in charge of home storage and decoration."
Which meant, she didn't know either.
Natalie went to ask Baron.
Baron said, "Mr. Ramsey is an easy-going person and has no special preferences."
For so many years, Kendrick was like a delicate machine. He was cold as if he didn't have any feelings.
Feelings like joy, anger, and sorrow were deeply hidden from him.
"Alright!" Natalie lowered her head, "Then, I'll choose what I like."
However, Natalie liked so many things.
After thinking about it for a long time, she said, "I'll make paella."
Natalie could use a scalpel brilliantly.
But for kitchen knife...
As Ashlynn heard the "bang" sound of the cutting board, she shrunk back in fright and said, "Maybe, I should do it!"
"No, I'm just cutting an onion."
Soon, Natalie regretted it.
"My eyes," She closed her eyes and groped around, "Give me a piece of tissue. My eyes are burning."
Ashlynn hurriedly handed her a piece of tissue and asked her to wash her eyes with water.
Natalie was incompatible with cooking since she was a child.
She could easily score high or perfect grades in all subjects in her studies.
She had skipped grades and graduated first with a medical science doctorate from a top university at the age of twenty-two.
She won a gold medal at the World Championships in the women's shooting competition.
She was a professional Go player and had defeated AlphaGo's computer program!
And others...
Everything that would involve a brain wasn't a problem for her.
Except cooking.
Genius also had times when they were at a loss.
"I can't do it anymore," Natalie said cryingly with her red eyes, "I can't open my eyes."
"Please rest. I'll tell Mr. Ramsey that you cook this," Ashlynn said thoughtfully.
"Let me rest a while," Natalie sniffed, "I'll be fine soon."
Natalie didn't want to give up.
She refused to believe that she couldn't cook a paella.
Natalie grabbed the palm-sized lobster from the basin, looked at its aggressive appearance, and said, "Well, I've come to dissect you. Hold on, it'll hurt a little."
