< Chapter 458


    Mary heard Nathan''s voice and was about to scream in fright, but her mouth was covered by a pair ofrge hands.


    Mary widened her eyes and felt that his hand was so big, almost covering half of her face.


    Merns


    She watched as the dark figure behind her approached, saying, "Don''t scream, otherwise they might think we''re up to something"


    Mary understood what he meant and even had a slight smile on her face.


    She looked up at the man approaching in front of her, but due to the dim light, she couldn''t see his expression at all.


    But she dared to guarantee that he was definitelyughing at himself.


    Mary was angry and tried to push him away, but despite using all her strength, she couldn''t budge him even a bit.


    She got so angry that she stomped on him, but the man didn''t move either: "You haven''t answered my question yet, are you sneaking


    out?"


    "I went to the bathroom."


    "Why didn''t you turn on the lights?"


    Mary lowered her head and replied, "I was afraid of waking you up. Some people don''t appreciate kindness."


    Nathan let go of her hand, stepped forward and opened the door for her, and casually turned on the light.


    Mary thought it would be dazzling, but she didn''t expect to see his hand in front of her eyes, blocking most of the light, until she adjusted.


    Mary lowered her eyelids and did not look at his face.


    She was worried that if she looked at him, she would expose her current thoughts.


    Mary lowered her head and walked into the bathroom, while the man stood outside, leaning against the wall, waiting.


    -Soon, the sound of water could be hearding from the bathroom, intermittently.


    Nathan looked up at the ceiling, and the legs he had seen during the day appeared in his mind. His calm heart also became slightly restless, it was really unbearable.


    He nced at his stepped-on foot and chuckled.


    The girl who used to be so soft was prickly and would also hurt her hands.


    Mary walked out with a red face, without even looking outside, she turned off the lights and rushed into the room.


    It was really embarrassing.


    The next day.


    After Alice and Mary walked out of the room, both of them kept their heads down, not daring to look at each other''s expressions.


    But Jack and Nathan were different, their moods seemed to be good.


    The two men exchanged a nce, and in silent agreement, neither of them spoke.


    After finishing breakfast, Jack looked at Alice and said, "I will book a spot at the nightclub in the evening, and we will go together."


    When it came to business matters, Aliceposed herself and said, "Alright, I will contact the Welch''s familyter."


    When Jack was about to leave, he received a phone call from thepany, there was an urgent matter to be dealt with.


    Nathan looked at Jack and said, "Just give me the car keys."


    When Jack handed the key to Nathan, he inexplicably thought of the bet they had made the previous night and had a feeling that he had already lost.


    This person, over the years abroad, became cunning.


    Nathan pretended not to see Jack''s gaze, turned around and drove to school to drop off Alice and Mary.

    Alice and Mary were sitting in the back row, and she nced at Nathan, who was driving "I have a question to ask,” she said. Nathan nced at the rearview mirror and replied, "Ask away."


    "If you were to work as a bodyguard with your status, would the cost be very high?"


    After Alice asked, Mary''s breath paused I was born into a wealthy family, I have money,"


    In fact, Mary told Nathan about the job as a bodyguard, but they never discussed the money. Nathan didn''t get angry after listening, he justzily responded.


    Alice saw Nathan''s appearance and guessed that Jack was right, Nathan really did like Mary.


    Nathan''s return this time, surely had a hidden agenda beyond just drinking.


    Alice understood Nathan''s meaning and didn''t ask any further.


    The car stopped by the roadside.


    Alice and Mary had just prepared to get off the car when Nathan was the first to


    get off and stood by the door.


    Alice looked and said, "What''s wrong?"


    Nathan looked at the car over there, his voice bing much more serious:"Someone ising."


    Mary looked over and immediately recognized Haley''s car.


    Mary spoke up, "The Parker family has arrived, it seems like they knew there was


    a problem with the contract."


    Alice raised an eyebrow, "How stupid would you be if they hadn''t found out yet?"


    The two of them exchanged a nce and got off the car, knowing that this day woulde eventually.


    But now, with Nathan by Mary''s side, Alice is not so worried anymore.


    Sure enough, the car in the distance drove straight towards us.


    Haley got off the car angrily, and when she saw Mary, her eyes turned red with anger.


    Haley gritted her teeth and spoke, "Mary, how dare you team up with that cheap mistress to deceive me!"


    Menu


    In Haley''s eyes, Luna was nothing more than a lowly mistress who couldn''t even be seen in public, not even worthy of having her shoes carried.


    Alice sneered, "You used despicable and shameless means first, and you have the audacity to criticize others? I have never seen such a shameless person."


    Alice was really angry about what Haley did.


    After hearing these words, Haley became even angrier and pointed at Alice''s nose, scolding, "And you, it must have been you who helped, right?"


    Otherwise, how could Luna have had such a boldness?


    Mary walked over to Alice and stood in front of her.


    Mary spoke with a cold face, "It was clearly you who used illegal means to calcte my property, Haley, you really have no shame." "What did you say about me? You have been influenced by Alice now, and you dare to insult me?"


    Haley was furious: "I shouldn''t have arranged for you to meet Alice in that dormitory in the first ce!"


    Mary used to be obedient and easy to control in the past.


    At that time, in order to let Mary have more contact with the people of the Welch''s family, it was arranged for Mary to go to Alice''s dormitory, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a fruitless effort.


    Mary sneered, "I have to thank you for this. Otherwise, you would have controlled me for the rest of my life and drained me to the


    bone."

    "Mary, I see that you have been influenced by Alice, nowe with me immediately."


    Haley came prepared and brought many bodyguards, who immediately surrounded this ce.


    Alice pulled Mary and said to Haley, "There are so many people here, aren''t you afraid of things getting out of hand?”


    "Which media outlet dared to report on the affairs of the Parker family?"


    [Meras


    Haley''s tone was very arrogant:"Alice, I heard that you are skilled, but can you handle so many people alone? Jack is not by your side


    now."


    Alice understood the reason why Haley suddenly appeared, assuming that she


    knew Jack didn''te with them today.


    Alice smiled and said, "We had bodyguards too."


    Haley only then noticed the man standing behind, but after getting a clear look at


    his appearance, her face suddenly changed:"It''s actually you, not dead overseas."


    Nathan said calmly, "Thanks to you, I didn''t die.”


    Mary heard the conversation and looked at Nathan in surprise, "What does it


    mean?"


    Nathan remained silent, but Haley spoke loudly, "Mary, you were led astray by


    this man in the past. I had someone take care of him, thinking he was dead. I never expected him toe back."


    Mary''s face changed instantly: "What gives you the right to do this?"


    "Just because you didn''t listen!"


    Haley''s expression twisted slightly:"Bring Mary to me!"


    Today, Mary had to suffer.


    Alice pulled Mary back and looked at Nathan, saying, "Nathan,e on."


    Nathan raised an eyebrow.
