Chapter 33 Natalie's Defense of Kendrick
"You..." Sophia was so angry that she even lost her tongue.
She thought, "For so many years, I've worked hard to manage my gentle image, so everyone I meet is
polite and respectful when talking to me. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
What's more, Natalie used to be cowering in front of me.
However, she has become so arrogant and even retorts to me so bluntly like now."
After thinking for a while, Sophia sneered, "Mom is right. You are really arrogant. Do you think you have
found a backup?" Sophia folded her arms in front of her breast. "I'm afraid your wish will be empty.
Don't you know that Kendrick has been transferred to the marginal hotel business that is not valued?"
"Your news is so backward! That was a week ago," said Natalie in disdain.
Sophia was so angry that she pinched her fingers tightly. After slowly loosening her grip, she adjusted
her mood and recovered her usual calmness. "From finance to hotel business, the gap is really huge,
isn't it? Unfortunately, you may probably lose your backup..."
She suddenly stretched out her hand, poked Natalie on the shoulder, and laughed scornfully, "If you are
smart enough, turn around and beg us, and then there may be a glimmer of hope. However, if you are
determined to cut off contact with us, then don't blame us for our indifference!"
Natalie was really speechless at such cheeky words.
"Begging you?" Natalie laughed louder than she did. She stepped back and drew a long breath.
"Excuse me, your face squeezed into my air."
Sophia was stunned for a moment.
Then she realized that Natalie was scolding her for being cheeky.
Sophia closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she managed to control her emotions from
breaking down.
She sneered three times and finally said slowly, "Do you still want to count on Kendrick?" Sophia
smiled coldly. "I'm curious how can Kendrick turn over?"
"Are you curious?" Natalie raised her eyebrows. "Then let me give you a chance. Kendrick is sitting by
the window now. Go and ask."
Hearing this, Sophia frowned.
"If you dare, you can ask Kendrick how he can turn over after being transferred to the hotel business!
How about asking him to answer your question in person?" Natalie smiled faintly.
Sophia didn't expect to hear that.
"Do you not dare?" Natalie twitched her lips and showed a disdainful expression. "I have given you a
chance, but you refuse to ask him yourself! Then put your curiosity away, otherwise..." Her eyes
darkened, and she exuded an aura that didn't match her age.
The smile on her pretty, pure face was cold. "Just like the cat, blind and curious, fell into the hot pot..."
She suddenly leaned her face over, and she said softly, "Dead!"
Sophia lost her words for a while.
She gritted her teeth hard. Her eloquence, however, was limited. After a long pause, she still did not
know what to say. Finally, she said, "Natalie, you'd better look out for yourself."
The tread of high heels went away.
Natalie also let out a sneer.
She thought, "All the daughters of the Quinn family are annoying.
But what happened to my memory?
If Sophia hadn't spoken first, I'm afraid I would not have remembered such a person.
The memory of the original host is fading."
While thinking, she turned on the tap and began to deal with the stains on her body.
...
Sophia came out of the toilet angrily and walked so fast that she almost bumped into the waiter with the
plate.
She clenched her fists indignantly, stood there, and took a deep breath, still unable to calm her mood.
She thought, "For the first time in my life, I'm so embarrassed.
Natalie, that bitch, is really not the same as she was.
Who on earth gives her the courage to talk to me like that?"
Sophia raised her head, exhaled, and pressed her hands to her temples.
Then she thought again, "Just now, I really wanted to slap her in the face. However, it was a public
occasion, and if anyone knew about it, it would definitely hurt my image. I'm the daughter-in-law of a
congressman. As a result, I have to be gentle and decent on every occasion, so that no one can find
any fault on me."
Thinking of this, Sophia instantly put on a smiling face.
Glancing at the window, Sophia saw Kendrick, who was dining with his friend.
Seeing that, she understood why she couldn't book the table by the window a week in advance.
She even showed her identity and offered a higher price, but she still failed.
Now, she finally realized that the table was reserved for Kendrick.
Sophia smoothed her hair, walked over, and greeted Kendrick, "What a coincidence to meet you here."
Kendrick looked up and saw that it was Natalie's eldest sister. He nodded and smiled to show
politeness.
Sophia boasted that she was a socialite and could behave well on any occasion. With a gentle smile,
she said intimately, "I also wanted to book the table by the window, but the restaurant manager told me
that someone had booked it with me at the same time. I thought that person might need it more than
me, so I gave in. I did not expect it to be you and Natalie who had reserved the table. What a
coincidence, right?"
"What? Did that happen?" asked Spencer in confusion.
Sophia smiled and said, "Yes, isn't it a coincidence?"
"But it shouldn't be!" Spencer frowned slightly. "The restaurant manager said that the table by the
window would be reserved for us within a month, for he was not sure when we would come for dinner.
What's the matter? Is this person fooling us?"
Kendrick revealed a meaningful smile. "Why don't you call and ask?"
"Good idea. I have to figure it out. How can someone else book the table that the manager has
promised to leave for us?"
Sophia's face suddenly turned green for a while, and she felt very embarrassed.
She had meant to show her generosity, so as to get in good with Kendrick. Unexpectedly, she was
slapped in the face on the spot. She immediately said, "Is that so? Maybe there was a deviation during
the news conveying, and my friend also misunderstood the meaning of the manager."
Spencer nodded. "I guess your friend made a mistake. The manager won't lie to us."
Sophia didn't know what to say.
However, she was used to the big scenes. Therefore, she was not flustered at all, even though she was
slapped in the face on the spot. She even smiled and said, "I'm just here to say hello, and I'll leave right
away. Please continue your dinner."
Just at that moment, a waiter was passing by with the creamy mushroom soup for the next table.
Seeing that, Sophia suddenly had an idea. As the waiter passed her, she stuck out one leg.
"Watch out!"
A clear, beautiful female voice suddenly sounded.
Before Kendrick could react, his sight suddenly darkened, and he was held in someone's arms. He
couldn't see anything, and only the tip of his nose was lingering with Natalie's faint perfume.
Natalie pushed the waiter's arm with her hand as she rushed forward, but she still couldn't change the
direction of inertia. It was too late for her to stand in front of Kendrick, so she directly blocked his body.
As a result, the creamy mushroom soup was instantly dumped on her back.
The soup was 113 ℉ hot.
Therefore, Natalie's skin was scalded in pain.
She couldn't help but groan.
Then she felt her skin get numb.
Soon, she straightened up, looked at Kendrick, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Kendrick frowned deeply and said, "I'm fine. Are you scalded?"
His sight was blocked, so he could not see what had happened to Natalie.
Suddenly, Sophia said in an artificial and not sincere voice, "Why are you so careless, young man?
Hurry up and bring the cloth to deal with it."
Natalie ground her teeth, and her eyes were filled with coldness. She raised her hand and took two
mouthfuls of borscht that was placed in front of Spencer.
Then, in full view of the public, Natalie poured the whole bowl of borscht over Sophia's head without
hesitation.
