HappyNovelChapter 864: Natalie had been waiting downstairs. The moment she saw Elyse's furious expression, anxiety flashed in her eyes. "How did it go? What did Daniela say?" Elyse let out a sharp breath. "That woman's a bitch. She refused to help you!" At those words, Natalie's composure cracked. Tears spilled down her face as she choked out, "What are we supposed to do now? Mom, I can't show my face anywhere! You have to find a way to erase everything online! And then-find a way forto marry well." Elyse scoffed. "In this situation? Who would even dare to marry you now?" "I would." A cold voice cut through the air from behind them.
Natalie and Elyse lit up at the words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey spun around eagerly, only for their excitement to fade the moment they saw Linden standing there.
"You?" Natalie scoffed, her voice dripping with disdain. “What could a mere family doctor possibly bring to the table? How much money could he even have?" She was certain she could earn more on her own than she ever would by marrying him. Marrying a poor man and living a life of struggle? Not a chance! That was never going to happen. If wealth hadn't been her priority, she wouldn't have settled for someone as unattractive as Doug in the first place.
Without a second thought, she and Elyse turned to leave.
Linden's voice rang out behind them. "I may not have much money, but Daniela does." Natalie stopped in her tracks and let out a sharp laugh. "You actually think Daniela would listen to you? Do you think you're Cedric?" Linden met her gaze calmly. “She promisedthat if I got married, she would givea gift.” Discover what's next on gVlnovls.
Natalie eyed Linden with suspicion.
"I already asked her for that hillside villa you used to own. If you marry me, it'll be yours." She didn't believe him for a second.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLinden pulled out his phone and showed them a photo of the property deed. "If you're doubtful, you can wait until I officially get the villa before deciding." Elyse said nothing. Natalie remained equally silent.
Seeing the greed in their eyes, Linden pressed on. “That villa, if sold properly, could easily go for billions. Natalie, isn't marrying rich exactly what you wanted? Marry me, and you won't just have money on paper-you'll have real, tangible wealth. Be honest. In Olisvine, besides Daniela...” "And Cedric, who else can offer you that kind of fortune? If you marry me, you marry a rich man, don't you?" His argument was airtight. All those years of education hadn't gone to waste.
Natalie shot a glance at Elyse.
Elyse hesitated. "But at the end of the day, it's still under your nIt's yours. Who knows who you'll hand it over to? And if you divorce Natalie, won't we end up with nothing?”
Linden's lips curled into a smile. “I can sign an agreement. If I'm the one to file for divorce, the villa will go to Natalie, no conditions attached." Elyse leaned in slightly. "And what if Natalie can't stand it anymore and wants to leave?"
Linden's smile didn't waver. It was relaxed, even generous. "As long as she stays married tofor five a married m years, then whether she wants to stay or go, the villa will belong to her. Everything I just said can be written in the contract."
