Greta shot Miranda a knowing glance, and Miranda jumped into action, wheeling herself over with urgency.
"Nathalie, mom just got carried away the other day. Please, try to understand. She's heartbroken after losing her
husband. Cut her sslack, will you?" She reached for Nathalie's hand, all fake warmth and forced smiles.
"Since you're here, why don't you pay your respects to your dad?"
The crowd around them buzzed with whispers, "That's the Brown family's daughter. How can she say she doesn't
have a father?" "Turning her back on her parents-doesn't she fear karma?"
Nathalie felt her cheeks burn with embarrassment from the crowd's judgment.
Nathan's gaze pierced through the onlookers, "Is your family's wealth so vast that you can afford to just stand
around gossiping?" "What do you mean?" someone asked, genuinely puzzled.
A bystander chimed in, "That's the CEO who took over the Dawson and Rowland businesses in just three

clearly pocketed the property."
Nathan cut in his voice sharp,
"Seems like you're the one ignoring the truth. That rundown villa your old man left, barely worth anything,
doesn't even compare to a hair tie of
Nathalie's. Do you really thing d
want that dump?"
"And who was there for you and your husband when you were sick? Who, despite everything, covered your
massive medical bills? You take my Nathalie for granted, using her when convenient and then tossing her aside."
Nathan's voice rose, You've picked the wrong person to mess with. How dare you treat my wife, Nathalie, like
this?"
Miranda shivered, her eyes darting nervously to Greta.
Greta was likely the only thing holding her back; otherwise, she'd probably go all out against Nathalie.
"Mr. Nathan, you don't know the whole story. Your wife isn't as innocent as she looks. Our old man's downfall, it
