The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 727

"Natalie, did you not understand a word I said the other day?" Alma sighed heavily. "I will say it one more time. We never approved of your divorce. Whatever happened between the two of you, there was fault on both sides. But it has been six years. It is time to let the past go. We want you to remarry and give your child a proper, complete home."

A wave of exhaustion washed over Natalie. She had made her boundaries crystal clear the other day. After everything Hamilton had put her through, she couldn't fathom how Alma could still push for a reconciliation.

"Hey, lady, I think you're the one who isn't listening," Marico scoffed. "I just told you Natalie is my fiancée, and Kristin is my kid. You're sitting here trying to marry my girl off to your son right in front of me. Are you out of your mind?"

Alma pointed a trembling finger at Marico and glared at Natalie. "Are you really with a piece of trash like him?"

"If I'm trash, then you're worse than trash!"

"You—"

"Actually, you're just an old hag!"

Alma's vision swam with fury. Mr. Amos slammed his hand down, his voice booming. "Marico, do you think the Amos estate is a place where you can run wild?"

At his command, several burly security guards stormed into the living room.

The towering men instantly formed a tight circle around Marico and Natalie.

"Out of respect for the Stapleton family, I'll let your disrespect slide tonight. Now get the hell out!" Mr. Amos barked.

Marico's gaze turned predatory, a ruthless smirk playing on his lips. "The Amos family really has no shame. You steal someone's kid and then sic your dogs on us. But I'm not afraid of dogs, especially not mutts like you."

Without warning, Marico pulled a plastic bottle filled with a yellowish liquid from the gift bag he had brought. Chuckling darkly, he unscrewed the cap and splashed the liquid directly onto Mr. Amos and Alma, before dousing himself in whatever was left.

The move was so sudden and erratic that the bodyguards were completely caught off guard. By the time they reacted, Marico had already flicked open a silver lighter.

"Nobody move!" he snapped, baring his teeth. "Anyone takes a step, and I light this place up!"
