Chapter 208 Someone New

Chapter 208 Someone New

Percy signaled the bodyguards behind him. The bodyguards immediately stepped forward, surrounding Joelle. “Let me go.. Joelle shouted and struggled desperately. But the bodyguards dragged her straight toward Percy’s luxury car.

“Please, Natasha, help me! Hurry!” Joelle cried out. Desperate and terrified, Joelle could only call out to Natasha for help.

Natasha looked totally confused, thinking that Joelle was acting again. ‘Why is she dragging me into her drama with Percy? They are obviously meant for each other; their mess has nothing to do with me!

‘Who knows what shady plan Joelle’s up to this time?’ Natasha thought; she had no intention of playing the hero and getting involved in a drama that had nothing to do with her.

“Did she do anything to you?” Percy strode over to Natasha and asked, worry in his voice. Natasha glanced at Joelle, who had just been shoved into the car, then looked back at Percy. She seriously had no idea what the heck these two were up to this time.

‘Is Percy really forcing his love on Joelle?’ Natasha wondered. ‘Is he so possessive that he’s actually going to lock her up? Then why bother acting all concerned about me?’

“No,” Natasha shook her head, then looked at Percy. “You’re here for her, right?”

“I came for you, too,” Percy said, his eyes fixed on her.

Natasha blinked in surprise. “Me?”

Percy stared right at her face. “You said you weren’t feeling well earlier.”

Natasha was taken aback. ‘Is he seriously here just because I said I felt unwell? Yeah, right. As if that would ever happen,’ she thought.

She had long grown used to Percy’s indifference, his complete lack of concern for her. Let alone the idea that a single word from her would make him rush over from the cemetery to find her.

In the past, even if she said a hundred or a thousand things, he had never taken any of it to heart. ‘So he’s most likely here for Joelle, Natasha thought.

Natasha figured Percy was probably so possessive over Joelle that he had to lock her up. That was probably why her mother and the rest of the Whittier family thought Joelle had gone missing.

Now that Joelle had finally managed to escape, Percy found out and showed up in person with his men to take her back. But why did Joelle come to me for help? Also, she’s just told me to dump Percy so she could swoop in and take my spot, Natasha thought, feeling baffled.

Natasha figured it was probably because Percy was now the Grosso family heir, and he had no interest in marrying Joelle, who had divorced before. And Joelle probably thought Natasha was holding onto her spot, refusing to let go of Percy. ‘That’s why Joelle showed up today, trying to warn me off. But Joelle has no clue that Percy isn’t the same guy anymore, and he’s not willing to marry her now, Natasha thought. However, this was just between Joelle and Percy; she didn’t want any part in it.

“Yeah, I was feeling a bit unwell earlier, but I’m fine now,” Natasha said, shaking her head, not showing any emotion. After that, she headed straight into the apartment building.

“Natasha,” Percy called out from behind her.

Natasha turned around, a puzzled look on her face. “Anything else?”

Percy’s eyes flashed with a rare tenderness. “Are you free tomorrow night? I want to have dinner with you, just the two of us.”

Natasha’s brows furrowed. ‘Dinner with you? What could it possibly be about?’ she wondered. ‘I’ve attended your brother’s funeral with you today. What else do you want from me?’ she thought.

“I have to work overtime tomorrow night,” Natasha politely declined.

Percy, still unwilling to give up, was about to ask if she was free the day after tomorrow, but Natasha jumped in and cut him off before he could even finish thinking.

“I’m sure Joelle can keep you company,” Natasha said, her voice cool and detached. After all, back when Natasha was still his wife, Joelle was always the one by his side. ‘Now that I’m not your wife anymore, there’s no reason for me to play that role, Natasha thought.

In the end, he could only return to the car, venting all his fury on Joelle. “Tell me! What are you doing here?” Percy snapped,

He clamped his hand around Joelle’s chin, his eyes cold and full of malice. “Are you here to harm her again?” he snarled, suspicion and anger dripping from his words.

Joelle stared at him in shock. “What, now you’re here to question me? I’ve harmed her so many times before, and you never once stood up for her.”

‘Do you seriously think you can make it up to Natasha now?’ Joelle scoffed inwardly. ‘You’ve already torn her apart, left her completely shattered. You’re even my accomplice in all of it. And now you’re pretending to be all caring in front of me?

Smack! Percy just swung and slapped her, no hesitation. Her head snapped to the side from the force. Joelle was frozen for a moment, totally stunned, before she reacted.

“You hit me?” Joelle stared at him, utterly shocked and in disbelief. “You actually slapped me for that bitch Natasha?”

She used to be Percy’s everything, his precious, the one he adored most. He wouldn’t have hurt a hair on her head before.’ And now he was actually hitting me himself? All because of Natasha?’ Joelle was completely stunned; she couldn’t be eve it, no matter what.

Percy’s tone was icy as he warned, “Don’t you dare cause her trouble again.” Joelle was completely shocked. She never thought she would see the day when Percy would actually defend Natasha in front of her.

“Are you losing your mind? You’re actually defending that bitch, or is it because you finally know the truth about Natasha and me…” Joelle spat, her voice shaking as she stared at Percy.

‘Natasha’s the real heiress of the Whittier family, Joelle thought bitterly. ‘And I’m nothing but the illegitimate daughter.’

Joelle knew it all too well. Back then, Percy was always sucking up to her, always trying to please her. He was her simp, bending over backwards for her, no matter what. It was all because she was the eldest daughter of the Whittier family.

Percy had always been hung up on where he came from. So back then, he had wanted to marry Joelle, the legitimate Whittier heiress, to prove his worth. Now that he was the heir to the Grosso family, he could only marry a real heiress from a powerful family.

If Percy ever found out she was nothing but an impostor, and that Natasha was the real Whittier heiress all along, he would never break up with Natasha to marry her, not a chance.

Joelle swallowed the rest of her words. Her mom, Sandra, had told her before. The truth about her and Natasha’s real identities had to stay locked away forever; no one could ever know. Besides her and her mom, absolutely no one else in the world should know about it.

Percy narrowed his eyes. “What truth have I already found out?” He could sense that Joelle was keeping something from

him.

Joelle’s eyes flicked around, clearly scheming her next move. “You found out Natasha’s already getting cozy with some other rich guy, right?” Joelle said, her tone full of spite.

Percy’s face changed in an instant. “What did you just say?”

Seeing how tense Percy looked, Joelle felt a surge of jealousy and resentment. ‘He’s really hung up on that little bitch Natasha, Joelle thought, her heart burning with envy.’ Just hearing she’s messing around with some other rich guy gets him all riled up like this?’

Joelle curled her lip in disdain. “When I got here, I saw my dear little sister getting out of a Rolls-Royce. She’s probably already two-timing you, huh?” She even glanced at the top of Percy’s head, really rubbing it in. That totally pissed him off. He instinctively clenched his fists, practically burning with rage. ‘So that’s the real reason Natasha shot down my dinner invite for tomorrow?’ Percy thought. ‘She already found someone new right after we broke up?’ Percy was floored, jealousy and disbelief crashing over him.
