The Promise of Happiness
Chapter 221
When Jacyntha saw Natalie‘s pathetic state, her fury subsided a little.
“You and Chris belong in two completely different worlds! If you have dignity, you should take the
initiative and stay away from him. Don‘t obstruct his path!”
Staring at the young woman in front of her, Natalie smirked. A cold glint flashed across her eyes.
She shot a cold glance at the motionless sales associates and demanded, “Pass me a bottle of water.”
Even though she was being bullied, she still exuded a charismatic and cold aura. Her eyes were
crystal–clear and bright.
When the sales associate met her gaze, she felt an inexplicable sense of intimidation. Hence, she
subconsciously passed a bottle of water and a piece of tissue to Natalie.
Instead of taking the tissue, she grabbed the bottle of water instead.
She twisted the cap open, placed the opening over Jacyntha‘s head, and emptied the bottle on her.
As the bottle of water had just been retrieved from the fridge, it was quite chilly. Not only did Jacyntha
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbecome drenched, but she also shivered from the cold.
At that moment, everyone, including Jacyntha, was stunned.
She watched helplessly as Natalie poured the entire bottle of water over her. Still immersed in shock,
she did not move a single inch.
It took a while before Jacyntha finally returned to her senses.
Widening her eyes, she screamed, “W–Who do you think you are? How dare you splash water over
me?”
Natalie capped the bottle slowly. Her eyelashes fluttered as she glanced at Jacyntha. “Your brain‘s
heating up, so you need to cool down. Do you think that any woman who‘s by Christopher‘s side is
your enemy? Can you please figure out the situation before targeting everyone?”
“Are you saying that,”
“I‘m not trying to say anything,” interrupted Natalie coldly. “If this happens again, things will end uglier
than this.”
“Y–You...”
Right then, Jacyntha was completely drenched, looking as pathetic as Natalie.
Ignoring her furious glare, Natalie strode out of the jewelry store.
She was just an innocent bystander who had been implicated for no reason.
Previously, she even assumed that the heavens were so kind to her that she got a snakeblood fruit for
free.
As expected, the snakeblood fruit came at a price.

When Natalie walked out, she bumped into Christopher.
He noticed the coffee stains on her clothes and the cold expression on her face. “What happened to
you? Who bullied you?”
Shooting him a chilly glance, Natalie uttered, “Now that I‘ve eaten and chosen a gift with you, don‘t
forget to ask Nicholas to send the snakeblood fruit that you‘ve promised me.”
When Christopher saw how distant she was acting, he grabbed her wrist. “I‘m asking you a question!
Who bullied you?”
Natalie was still fuming mad about it. Now that Christopher kept interrogating her, she glared at him
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand yelled, “You...”
“What?”
“It‘s you!” Natalie smirked coldly. “Let go of me! Aren‘t you bullying me right now?”
Christopher released her subconsciously. Once the opportunity arose, Natalie spun around and left
unhesitatingly.
When Christopher returned to the jewelry store, he saw Jacyntha bursting into tears.
“Chris...” When Jacyntha saw Christopher, she became even more upset. She pounced into his arms
and complained through sobs, “That woman poured water all over me. I‘m so cold now!”
“Were you the one who splashed coffee on her?”
Christopher‘s gaze was so sharp that Jacyntha felt a chill run down her spine. She could sense that he
was extremely angry now.
“Jacyntha, I‘m asking you this. Were you the one who splashed coffee on her?” Before she could reply,
Christopher repeated his question.
She vented all her grievances onto him immediately. “So what if I was the one who splashed her with
coffee? You‘re my fiancé, so who is she to stay by your side? Why can she enter your mother‘s room?
Why do you treat her so specially?”
