Belinda Howard seemed to have anticipated her move, swiveling around abruptly with an equally irritable mood.
"What on earth do you want!? Don't think just because your father is the mayor that I will tolerate you at every turn. You should know, there isn't a single clean official nowadays. If you keep pestering me, I will make sure your entire family pays a painful price!"
Perhaps she was genuinely fed up with Nathalie Juan's entanglements, as Belinda Howard's pupils were bloodshot—whether from fever or because at this moment, she was truly enraged!
Caught off guard by her assertiveness, Nathalie Juan was somewhat stunned, having not anticipated that she would become so tough.
Just yesterday, wasn't she still presenting herself as weak and delicate? How did she become like a completely different person today?
And what did she mean by making her entire family pay a painful price?
Ha! Truly ridiculous, her father is the mayor, after all. Who would dare to touch her family?
