Chapter 494
He dragged her into the brightest spot of the room, scrutinizing the mark on her neck that looked like a
hickey but also seemed like a bite mark “Did Mare do this? he
ashed
Seeing her plot working, Natalia breathed a sigh of relief Pretending to be shy, she quickly pulled up
her collar to hide the mark, “This mark
Cameron interrupted impatiently. “Are you pretending to be innocent? I’m asking if this mark was made
by him?”
Natalia nodded. “You once told me that no one else but him can touch me haven’t forgotten.”
Her obedience pleased Cameron “How far have you guys gone? Did he sleep with you?”
“No” Natalia blushed, biting her lip shyly. “He almost did I was really scared and struggled fiercely so he
stopped”
Cameron’s face suddenly changed, grabbing Natalia’s hair in anger, “Are you a moron? You were
scared of that? Look at yourself! He wants you, and you dare to reject him?
With her hair being pulled to the point it felt like her scalp was being torn off, Natalia didn’t dare to
move, “Mare said he wouldn’t force me to do anything I don’t want to Heil wat until Im mady to accept
him”
“He said that? Cameron was skeptical of her, but eventually let go
Natalia continued, “Otherwise, why would he have driven me home?”
This time. Cameron truly believed her, “Sometimes men who have been met with too many easy
women become more interested in a woman who rejects them. You did right Reject him for a while, and
don’t let him have you too soon. But don’t hold him off for too long either. If he loses interest in you,
you’ll have no chance
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalia nodded. “I listen to you. However long you tell me to reject him, I will. Whenever you tell me to
accept him, I will
Cameron was very satisfied with Natalia’s attitude. He confidently believed that he had successfully
moulded Natalia into a tool without any personal thoughts, one that he could use freely
Cameron pinched Natalia’s chin, staring at her face intently, “Your face, just like your shameless
mother’s, does indeed have charm that stirs men’s hearts. But even the most beautiful face can
become tiresome over time. If you want to hold Marcus’s attention for longer, have your slut mother
teach you She’s a pro at handling men”
Natalia replied, “She has taught me.”
As far back as Natalia could remember her mother had been teaching her how to please men. Her
another would incessantly remind her that a woman’s knowledge was
never as important as marrying well, and that men were their lifeline
“Typical shameless mistress. But this does save me some trouble Cameron sneered. “I taught you how
to serve men, do you still remember?”
Natalia nodded. ‘Don’t worry I won’t let you down.”
Cameron said, “Once your relationship with him escalates, you don’t have to maintain your false
modesty Be more proactive when he touches you. Don’t be unresponsive, or he’ll lose interest Men are
all the same. They like elegant women in their life but in bed, they prefer those who can bring them
pleasure. If you can bear him a son before his wife does Not just him, the entire Hartley Group will be
yours”
Natalia said. “I just want to complete the task you assigned me, I haven’t thought about anything else”
Cameron gently patted her face, “Yes, just follow my instructions. Fill take care of everything you can’t
think of, and ensure you won’t get hurt.”
Natalia nodded
Cameron said, “Go upstairs and rest. Starting from tomorrow I’ll arrange for someone to come home
and give you a full body SPA every day”
“Alright Natalia replied, and then quickly went upstairs
Back in her room As soon as she closed the door, she felt so weak she couldn’t stand Leaning against
the door, she slid to the ground wiping the cold sweat off her forehead
Tonight was finally over But what about tomorrow?
And the day after that?

Chapter 495
Natalia knew for sure, if Cameron found out she was playing him, he’d surely off her But she wasn’t
ready to kick the bucket yet! Even if her everyday life was a living hell, she wanted to keep hanging in
there because there was always hope while she was alive
Plus, she knew she only got one shot at life, there were no do–overs. Once she died, she’d have
nothing
Natalia took a deep breath, mustering up the strength to pick herself up off the ground despite feeling
weak as a kitten
She had to win Marcus over for real before Cameron got wind of the truth The only person who could
help her now was Cornelia.
Thinking of Comelia, Natalia immediately whipped out her phone and shot a text: [Cornelia, heard
you’re taking it easy these days. How about I swing by around lunchtime, we grab a bite and then hit
the shops in the afternoon?]
It was the middle of the night and Natalia wasn’t holding her breath for a reply from Cornelia. However,
no sooner had she put down her phone than it buzzed Cornelia texted back [Sorry, I’m spending the
day with my granny tomorrow]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalia wasn’t ready to throw in the towel. She sent a voice message straight away, “Cornelia, are you
still holding a grudge against me. Don’t you like me? I’m genuinely sorry, I hope we can be friends.
Cornelia replied. What’s past is past. I’m not petty, don’t sweat it]
Seeing Cornelia’s response. Natalia breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, she just trusted
Camelia, believing that she wouldn’t pull a fast one on her.
Natalia asked again [Cornelia, how come you’re still up so late?
Cornelia replied: I ate too much tonight, my stomachs giving me grief. I’ve been in and out of the
bathroom.]
Natalia asked [Got any meds? Want me to swing by with some?]
Cornelia replied I’ve already taken some, feeling a bit better now. Gonna go to sleep, you should too.
Night!]
Natalia asked [Cornelia, are we friends now then?]
Cornelia replied As long as you don’t rope me into chasing Marcus, we can be friends]
Natalia replied somewhat dejectedly. [But without Marcus, I wouldn’t be able to keep going]
When Cornelia saw Natalia’s message, her headache started up again. She didn’t really want to deal
with this lovestruck girl, but somehow she couldn’t help but soften ighting off sleepiness, Cornelia said
[Natalia, no one’s life is over just because someone else is gone. Even your parents will leave this
world before you do. How can you not live without a man who has nothing to do with you?]
Jatalia replied (Without him, I can’t live ]
Comelia said [You’re really stubborn. Marcus is already hitched, he doesn’t feel for you. You’re only
hurting yourself.]
Jatalia told Cornelia [When I was a kid, my mom and family told me that I would be Marcus’s wife one
day I lived with that thought for over a decade. And just when hought I was going to be Marcus’s bride,
they told me Marcus had already married someone else ]
Cornelia was really at a loss about Natalia’s family!
