Chapter 130
After that, Tobias did not text back. Natalie checked her mobile phone from time to time but she was disappointed when there was no new notification.
"Natalie, what are you doing? Why do you keep staring at your phone" Yvonne asked when they were having lunch.
Sebastian was giving Natalie a doubtful look too.
Natalie was acting strange.
"It's nothing," Natalie forced a smile and replied.
She warned herself to stop checking her mobile phone. Why was she getting her hopes up?
Tobias texted her to ask her if she was awake and she replied yes. It was just that simple, so what was she thinking?
Natalie was forcing herself to think of something else when Kimberly came over with her two lackeys.
Kimberly strode over to Natalie and paused to glare at Natalie viciously.
However, Natalie was lost in her thoughts and she did not notice Kimberly.
"Some people are really shameless," Kimberly mocked, "They're poor but they have unrealistic dreams. Why don't they check themselves in the mirror before doing anything stupid?"
Natalie was taken aback when she heard Kimberly's satirical remarks.
Kimberly was talking about Remington but Natalie thought Kimberly was referring to someone else.
Tobias.
"I warned a certain someone that she should know her place. You know, status is very important. Well, some rich men might fool around with poor women but ultimately, those women are just toys and they shouldn't bite off more than what they can chew," Kimberly warned.
Natalie's face turned pale.
On the other hand, Yvonne and Sebastian were looking at Kimberly in confusion.
They did not understand what Kimberly was talking about.
"Kimberly, who are you talking about?" One of Kimberly's lackeys asked in a loud voice.
Kimberly raised her head arrogantly and answered, "Who else? I'm talking about that girl who's ignorant and delusional."
"Speaking of delusional, I recalled something," Kimberly's other lackey chipped in, "I have a cousin who's very poor and she worked as a waiter in a hotel. Well, she's quite pretty, so she wanted to rely on her looks and get a rich boyfriend. Guess what? She seduced a rich guy and got pregnant. She was even planning to marry that rich guy but he kicked her away. In the end, he married a woman from another wealthy family. Who would even marry a poor woman?"
Kimberly laughed, "Oh well, it's a pity that these stupid women will never snap out of their stupid dreams."
Natalie's face was as pale as a sheet and she stood up.
Natalie's sudden behavior shocked Kimberly.
Kimberly stared at Natalie cautiously. Kimberly knew that Natalie might be poor but Natalie could be a pushover. After Kimberly mocked Natalie, it was very likely for the latter to retaliate.
Unexpectedly, Natalie left without a word.
Yvonne and Sebastian exchanged confused looks before running after Natalie.
"Natalie, what's wrong?”
"Natalie, wait for us."
Sebastian and Yvonne finally caught up with Natalie.
Natalie stopped dead in her tracks and took a deep breath.
What was wrong with her? Was she thinking about her relationship with Tobias?
She knew that it was impossible for her to be with Tobias, hence why was she provoked by Kimberly?
Was it about the previous night? Did Tobias' text message make her this way?
Natalie warned herself to keep her head in check.
From the start, she knew that they were just pretending to be married!
Nevertheless, Kimberly was right about one thing. Status was very important! All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
If she did not keep her hopes up, she would not be disappointed.
Natalie squashed the glimmer of hope that appeared in her head.
"It's nothing. The cafeteria was really hot, so I just wanted to breathe some fresh air." Natalie seemed like a completely different person and she smiled.
"Natalie, are you okay?" Yvonne stared at Natalie worriedly.
She felt that there was something wrong with Natalie.
"I'm great. Why wouldn't I be okay?" Natalie was smiling happier than ever.
Sebastian was not very observant, hence he heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Natalie.
"Natalie, I'm glad you're okay. Yvonne and I were worried."
"It's nothing. Let's go back to class," Natalie replied brightly and strode back to the classroom briskly.
Nothing was more important than life itself. Natalie decided to let everything go and pretended that nothing happened.
In the afternoon, Qasim came back and he was accompanied by his parents.
Qasim was there to withdraw from Agaphen University.
No one understood why Qasim was withdrawing but Natalie knew what was going on.
Tobias must be pulling the strings and he must have pressured Qasim. Otherwise, a ruthless guy like Qasim would never withdraw from college.
After finishing the paperwork, Qasim's parents brought Qasim to the classroom.
They strode over to Natalie.
Yvonne and Sebastian were shocked. They thought that Qasim and his parents were going to do something, hence they stood in front of Natalie hurriedly.
Natalie pushed Yvonne and Sebastian away.
Her eyes were clear as she asked, "What do you want?"
Although she knew that Qasim's father was an influential figure, she was not afraid of him.
Even if Tobias was not with her, she would not be scared too.
She was never afraid of anyone. She had no attachments and she only had her life. If worse came to worst, they would just murder her, hence she had nothing to worry about.
A lot of students gathered around them and they were interested in the turn of events.
In particular, Kimberly was smug and she was whispering with her friends.
"I heard that Natalie kicked Qasim, so Qasim's parents are probably here to settle scores with her."
"I found it strange when nothing happened last time. It turns out that they're going to settle it once and for all."
"Natalie will pay for what she did. Qasim's parents are quite influential and they won't let her off the hook."
Yvonne and Sebastian were anxious but the majority of students were either busybodies or gleeful.
Everyone believed that Qasim's parents would teach Natalie a lesson but the outcome shocked everyone.
"Miss Natalie, it's our fault for not teaching our son properly. Please forgive us," Qasim's parents bowed to Natalie and apologized.
Everyone's jaw dropped.
No one expected Qasim's parents to apologize to Natalie.
