A Losing Game of Love novel Chapter 45

"Enough stalling; I'm going to find my ring now," Natalia sneered, reaching to grab my clothes. Edward stepped in front of me, swatting her hand away.

"You're really going to protect her? Fine, just as you wish—I'll call my husband right now!" Natalia pulled out her phone and dialed.

"Honey, someone's bullying me and stole that big diamond ring you gave me," she whined.

"What?! Who would dare bully my wife? Wait… the ring? I'll be right there!"

Natalia ended the call with a triumphant look. "Just wait; my husband will be here soon, and then you'll get what's coming to you."

I couldn't wait to see how this would play out, and it seemed Edward shared my sentiment, as he smirked slightly.

Soon, we heard a man's voice cursing from the doorway. "Who's the punk who dared bully my wife? Are they tired of living?"

A man with a similar build to Edward, dressed in a suit and holding a glass, swaggered over to Natalia. She quickly ran into his arms, whining, "Honey, if you'd been any later, I would've been bullied to death!"

My parents and several relatives immediately gathered around, while only Alex stayed back.

"Oh, my dear son-in-law," my father fawned, "Our Natalia will be counting on you from now on. She's so delicate; please take good care of her."

"Honey, you need to stand up for me," Natalia pouted. "That witch stole my ring; you have to teach them a lesson."

Only then did the man follow her pointing finger and look over at us. When he saw us, his eyes went wide, and his face turned ashen. I recognized him as Edward's driver, Jack.

Edward added with a smirk, "I agree. Let's call the police. Since you two clearly think Kate isn't as worthy as Natalia, there's no need to hold back."

All eyes turned to Jack, waiting for his response. I saw Alex slinking away quietly.

Jack plastered on a forced smile for Edward. "Please, Mr. Lewis, don't—she's just a foolish girl, causing you both trouble. I'll handle her right now."

With that, Jack slapped Natalia hard across the face. The sound echoed, and Natalia fell to the floor, stunned.

My mother rushed forward to help her up. Covering her cheek, Natalia pouted, "Husband, you'd hit me for these two paupers?"
