Chapter 30: Overly Controlling Man
Natalie almost screamed in panic at the sudden loud smash next to her ear. Instinctively, she covered her head with her hands and leaned down to protect herself, bracing for another blow. But instead of more attacks, she heard the sound of painful cries from men outside.
Peeking out from her car, she saw the two men in suits—supposedly bodyguards appointed by Justin for her—had tackled the four attackers. Shaken but unharmed, she quickly stepped out of the car. By then, the security guards from the society gate had also rushed to the scene.
One of the bodyguards, the same tall and robust man who stopped her car today and she scolded him, approached her, "Ms. Natalie, are you alright?"
His eyes scanned her for injuries. He noticed the light scratches on her forehead and cheek caused by the shattered glass.
Though still in shock, Natalie nodded and started to move toward the attackers, her instincts telling her to confront them. But the bodyguard stopped her. "We’ll handle this and find out why they attacked you. First, we need to take care of your injuries, Miss."
"I’m alright," she retorted, though her trembling hands betrayed her true state, the pain in her ankle seems to increased at her sudden movement.
Just then, the other bodyguard approached with a phone in hand. "Mr. Harper is on the line. He wants to speak with you, Ms Natalie," he said, offering her the phone.
"Hello," Natalie answered, trying to steady her voice.
"Are you hurt?" Justin’s deep, calm voice came through, instantly grounding her.
