Chapter 873 The Casino Part Five
Caleb held onto his burning cheeks. “Wh-What gives you the right!”
“What gives me the right?” Natalie widened her eyes in anger and snorted, “Do you want to know? Let
me tell you then. The first was for slapping Anna. The second was for you using her as collateral for
your bet. The third was for you being an ungrateful jerk!”
Unlike everyone present who only saw Anna as a pitiful woman who fell in love with the wrong man,
Natalie was cognizant of what a talented designer the former was.
Two years ago, Anna had given up glory and talent just to keep a low profile as Caleb’s wife.
Her sacrifices deserve a lot more than how that scum had treated her.
As Natalie stared coldly at Caleb, she felt as if no punishment was ever going to be enough for him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPreviously, Caleb was astounded by Natalie’s beauty when he saw her flawless skin and stunning
features. But now that his eyes met with her piercing gaze, he felt his hair stand on end and a chill
down his spine.
In spite of that, he couldn’t stomach the humiliation of being slapped by a woman.
“That’s a family matter between me and her.” He rebutted sarcastically, “I didn’t force her to do it. She
chose to do everything willingly because she loves me so much, to the extent of not minding me using
her as collateral. Instead, you should quit feeling indignant for her, as her life is with me, not you!”
Despite being slapped, Caleb’s rage didn’t diminish at all.
In fact, he even felt smug about himself.
He felt that he was everything to her given how much she admired him and was willing to fall out with
her own family to be with him.
If he was to leave her, she would have lost everything.
“Darling, can you tell that nosy lady that we’re—”
Before Caleb could finish, his face was hit so hard that it turned sideways.
The forceful slap had cut his face with its fingernails, leaving five cuts on his cheeks with blood oozing
out of them.
“D-Darling,” Caleb mumbled. He was a hundred times more shocked now than when he was hit by
Natalie.
“Don’t call me that! I’m not your wife anymore!” Anna stared at her gambling addict husband with her
bloodshot eyes and roared, “Since you have lost me to someone else, you have no right to call me that!
All this while, I was nothing but a fool to assume you would come home after losing all your money. But
today, after seeing your true colors, I will stop being blinded by my love for you!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat was the only time Anna said something like that.
Stunned by her words, Caleb kept repeating, “Darling… Darling…”
While doing so, he attempted to grab her arm but was thwarted by Yandel. “Get lost!”
Natalie held Anna’s arm and suggested softly, “Anna, let’s go.”
Anna nodded with a pale expression before leaving the gambling table with Natalie.
Sensing how downtrodden Anna felt, Natalie and Yandel brought her to the bar.
There, Natalie ordered a glass of juice so that Anna would be rehydrated by the sweet drink.
“I’ve made a mistake.” Anna didn’t receive her juice. Instead, she grabbed Natalie’s wrist and
confessed in a disheartened tone. “Back then, I didn’t heed your advice and felt that I have finally found
my true love. Even though everything you said to me was for my own good, I assumed that it was sour
grapes and you were out to destroy my happiness.”
Even though Anna realized her mistake after two years, she had paid a huge price for it.
Natalie reached out to wipe the tears off Anna’s eyes. “There are no shortcuts in life. Now that you
have learned your lesson and know what’s important, isn’t that a wonderful development?”
