Chapter 325 Untameable Little Fox
Natalie knew that her height was her fatal weakness, having missed many career opportunities in the past due to this issue.
However, that didn’t mean she would accept attacks from others because of it.
She glared fiercely at Malcolm and asked, “So, do you think we look good together?”
Look good together?
Malcolm looked at the extremely short and petite woman before him. He had to admit that the contrast was significant, standing next to a tall man like him. Their height difference didn’t showcase the dignity of a queen.
But then, he scoffed.
“Well, what do you expect of someone from the Jarvis family? As long as your status is good enough, appearance doesn’t matter!”
With that, Natalie couldn’t bear it any longer.
She slapped the hand that was restraining her as hard as she could!
As the man let go, she quickly distanced herself from him.
“If I’m not mistaken, my uncle has agreed to all your conditions. But this is one that he didn’t, right?” Natalie said, her eyes fixed on Malcolm.
Malcolm remained silent. The playful look in his eyes had vanished instantly, replaced by coldness.
“Hmm… They say distilled wisdom holds the essence. I suppose that saying is true.”
This woman was smart.
It was no wonder she had managed Regal Horizons International so well these past two years, allowing Stephen to focus on other matters.
A seemingly harmless woman had become Stephen’s greatest assistant!
Natalie felt that whatever Malcolm said now was an attack on her.
As if reading her mind, he asked, “So, what’s your answer?”
Her answer?
She could
guess what Stephen had in mind. Even though Malcolm had sealed all information from her these past few weeks, preventing her from knowing anything, she was still familiar with how things worked in Simeria.

Even without direct information, she could analyze a lot of what had happened.
So, when Malcolm asked her this question, Natalie didn’t respond directly, but her refusal was
clear.
“If you don’t like someone like me, Lord Malcolm, there’s no need to compromise. After all…”
Pausing for effect, Natalie looked at Malcolm. The previous icy tone now carried a hint of mockery.
“Your lifestyle is different from mine, and I also can’t compromise!”
The man’s eyes flickered slightly. Then he smiled ambiguously.
“Are you complaining that I have too many women? I can dismiss them all. What do
you think?
“All of them?”
“Of course.”
His response was quite straightforward.
The way
way he easily said such words indicated that this man’s approach was definitely not as simple as the rumors suggested.
He might even be more insane than the rumors.
If she could, Natalie really wanted to retort with, “You’re already too dirty. Even if you washed yourself with holy water, it would be too late.”
However, reason made her bite back the impulse.
“Including 74?” she asked instead.
Malcolm was silent.
As the words hung in the air, the atmosphere became tense, and the two locked eyes in a silent standoff.
Natalie saw the dangerous glint in the man’s eyes when she mentioned Bianca, and she met his eyes fearlessly.
She was waiting and gambling. She was betting on how important this marriage was to Malcolm and whether he would spare Bianca for it.
If he could, she thought she might agree.
Bianca had suffered too much.
Putting aside the future, it was best to let Bianca leave first. That was why she followed
Malcolm from the airport. However, she didn’t expect this man to keep her in the dark for half a month, rendering all her negotiations useless.
Now, it seemed that everything Natalie had meant nothing to him. He didn’t even bother to meet her because he found her unworthy.
What he truly needed might be the influence of the Jarvis family behind her. Even knowing about what was in Snow City, he still dared to propose such conditions.
After a long time, their standoff made the surroundings so quiet that the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
Suddenly, Malcolm reached for her.
Natalie instinctively wanted to dodge, but he firmly grabbed the back of her head, pulling her
close.
A warm breath and chilly air assaulted Natalie’s senses. The sharpness in Malcolm’s eyes transformed again into a gentle glint.
However, there was a dangerous feeling to it.
Malcolm said, “Ms. Walker, has anyone ever said you’re an untameable little fox?”
A fox? Was he referring to her cunning nature?
Natalie pushed him hard, but he didn’t budge. The next moment, he gritted his teeth and hissed into her ear,
“I agree to your conditions!”
After speaking, he forcefully pushed Natalie away.
Caught off guard, she cursed inwardly. This man was truly mad. Given his terrible personality, nature had wasted such a perfect face on him!
Without refuting Malcolm’s words, Natalie realized that getting Bianca out of his clutches was more important than anything else.
The man’s sharp eyes seemed to penetrate into her heart.
He said, “Natalie, don’t play tricks with me, okay?”
Tricks? Those two words sounded so dangerous.
Even without him saying it, Natalie probably understood that getting involved with Malcolm meant inviting big trouble.
Apparently, Malcolm was reminding her not to think everything was fine just because Bianca left. She should behave herself afterward..
Natalie retorted, “Who would dare play tricks with you, Lord Malcolm?”
“I want to see Bianca!” she declared angrily, her demand justifiably assertive.
The man, who had deliberately softened his gaze moments ago, now showed a hint of sharpness.
“Don’t cross the line!”
“As someone soon to be your ally, can’t I even request to meet someone? It seems that the women associated with you are attracted only by your face,” Natalie shot back.
With her words, the atmosphere quieted once again.
Obviously, Malcolm didn’t expect Natalie to retort so much.
With a snap of his fingers, a well–dressed man promptly entered the room from outside. It was the same man who had followed Malcolm off the helicopter earlier.
The man respectfully approached, taking a document from his briefcase and handing it to Malcolm. Malcolm accepted it without even glancing at it. With a swift movement, he threw it
in front of Natalie.
“Sign it, and you’ll meet her immediately,” he said, his tone unyielding.
Natalie picked it up and glanced at it. In an instant, her eyes widened.
“Someone must have told you that you’re a sly old fox!”
It seemed that Malcolm’s visit today was merely a notification, a part of his well–prepared plan.
Was he playing with her just now?
“If you want to see her soon, don’t waste time here. Otherwise, I’ll seriously doubt the authenticity of your friendship with her.”
“We don’t need your approval!” Natalie retorted fiercely.
She grabbed a pen and forcefully signed her name on the document, leaving an indented hole
on the paper, a testament to her suppressed anger.
