"Kelvin, you simply misunderstood." Martins said in a haste trying to calm Kelvin's anger. He must not loose a prospective son-in-law like Kelvin, so he must try his best not to get Kelvin angry.
Mr Martins needed Kelvin to make his company move forward. With's Kelvin's support and influence, he would be even richer. He would also become one of the most influential people in the city again.
"Misunderstand?" Kelvin's voice was so low that it almost sounded like a growl.
Mr Martins immediately closed his mouth tightly, afraid that Kelvin would direct his anger at him if he spoke further. Meanwhile, Natali could only tremble beside her father. Kelvin already knew all her plans. He also knew that she set his wife up.
The man was not blind! The man had seen it all.
Natali's tears before might have been crocodile tears, but now she really wanted to cry. What should she do?
"I am not doing anything! Not me..." Natali said. Tears rolled down her face. This time she cried out of fear.
"Do you think I'm stupid just because I can't see?" Kelvin interrupted Natali before she could defend herself. His eyes looked merciless as he stared at Natali's pathetic face.
"The CCTV footage that you deleted, Do you think I can't get it? Getting something like that is a very easy thing for me to do, you should know that."
Natali's eyes widened when she heard Kelvin's words. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Can Kelvin get hold of the CCTV footage she'd deleted? How can it be?
"The person you ordered to escort Luliyah to my room. Are you sure you can keep his mouth shut? Have you never thought that I could pay twice as much money you gave the man?" Kelvin said with a face that looked bored as if he was dealing with a fool.
Natali immediately felt panicked. All of her plans has been exposed. She immediately hugged her father's arm trying to persuade him, "Dad, that's not what happened. Luliyah said she needed money to save her mother so she asked me if she could meet a rich man. Not me..."
Mr Martins could only stare at his daughter in confusion. He didn't know who to believe. He did not really know who was lying and telling the truth.
However, there was only one thing he cared about. He only cared about Kelvin's opinion. If Kelvin said Natali was guilty, then Natali is really guilty. Mr Martins only cared about Kelvin and his wealth.
His hand went up, slapping Natali's face with all his might, making her stagger a bit and fall on the ground.
"Father!" Natali shouted, holding her cheek.
Just a moment ago, it was Luliyah that was slapped and now she had to be slapped by her father. Natali felt the humiliation and shame of being slapped by her father in public.
"Why did things turn out this way?" Natali thought seriously.
The plan was perfect. But why did things not end up the way she planned?
.....
In the restroom, Luliyah quickly changed her clothes with the one Kelvin gave her. When she took the clothes out of the gift bag, she gasped. It was a very pretty white dress. There were folds at the bottom, making it fluff up a little.
She put the stained outfit in the bag. At that time, she saw the logo of a luxury brand on the bag. She was surprised when she saw the brand name. It's a CHANEL. She never imagined that she would wear a CHANEL customized branded dress in her life.
Luliyah looked at herself in the mirror and realized that her hair was a little messy. She immediately cleaned her face and took out an hair tie from the bag to pack her messy hair up.
Her appearance looked neat as before. Without any makeup, her face looked naturally very beautiful. After making sure her appearance was good enough, she got out of the restroom. She was worried about her father. Apart from that, she also couldn't wait for Kelvin to get his revenge on Natali for her sake.
...........
After she came out from the restroom, she saw Kelvin sitting quietly.
'I don't know what they are arguing about.' Luliyah pretended to remain calm and sat beside Kelvin.
Kelvin watched as Luliyah walked towards him. Even when her clothes was stained, she still looked beautiful. After changing, Kelvin felt she was much more perfect. The white shirt dress she was wearing now made her look pure and shine even more.
He saw Luliyah had tied her hair, but some strands was out of the hair band. Kelvin raised his hand, combed the hair behind Luliyah's ear and said, "Natali said that you asked her to introduce you to a rich man." Unlike the way he spoke to Mr Martins and Natali, Kelvin spoke to Luliyah in a light tone like he was it was a casual conversation.
Luliyah shook her head. It looked like Natali really didn't know the limit. Even at times like this, she still chose to lie. This made Luliyah annoyed and angry.
Luliyah folded her arms and pretended to be sullen, "Do you believe her?"
Kelvin smiled when he saw Luliyah's childish behavior, "I only believe what you say."
Natali was disgusted by the behavior of the two people in front of her and immediately shouted loudly, "I'm not lying! Luliyah stop pretending."
"You seduced my fiance and broke our engagement. Now, you accuse me? You want to blame me for everything?" Natali's scream sounded desperate as if she was struggling with all her strength to make everyone believe her. But who would believe her if she was dealing with Kelvin?
Mr Martins could see Kelvin getting annoyed when he heard Natali. If it continued like this, Natali could destroy his relationship with Kelvin. He didn't care which of his daughter, Kelvin was going marry. As long as one of them could win the man's heart. Now that Kelvin had Luliyah, of course he would defend Luliyah.
"Shut up! Mr Martins snapped at Natali, "Apologize to Luliyah."
Natali's mouth dropped open when she heard what her father just said. 'I am sorry? To Luliyah? Never!'
She didn't want to apologize to Luliyah even though she was the one who framed her.
"No, I'm not guilty." Natali wept bitterly.
Kelvin's felt Natali's cries disturbing his ears. His head felt dizzy listening to the woman's cry. He turned his head towards the waiters staring at the commotion at their workplace.
Their manager was already there, but he couldn't do anything. They were all aware of who they were dealing with so they didn't dare to do interfere.
