Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 317

Natalia wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, "Thanks for the warning I'll work even harder to pursue Marcus."

Cameron looked at her with a cold and disdainful gaze, "You're no better than your gold-digging mom. No matter how glamorous you two appear, it can't hide your pathetic inner selves."

Natalia had to endure Cameron's beatings and insults, and even agree with him, or else she'd face another round of abuse, "You're right. Neither me nor mom are good people."

After letting off steam, Cameron finally left, leaving the battered Natalia behind.

Even after he left, Natalia couldn't go to the doctor. She had to let her wounds heal on their own.

Just then, her phone on the floor rang. Her mom was calling, and she couldn't help but burst into tears, "Mom..."

Natalia's mom, Clair, was Granger Reese's second wife, who had won him over with her beauty and married into the Reese family.

Clair asked, "Natalia, did Cameron hit you again?"

Through her tears, Natalia pleaded, "Mom, I can't stand living with that monster anymore. Can you come get me? We could live together with Dad."

"Natalia, don't cry. Listen to me.” Clair's voice was gentle, "You've endured pain for so long. Just hold on a little longer. Once you marry Marcus, he'll protect you and you can get back at Cameron."

Just thinking about that monster made Natalia shake, "But I fear I might not live long enough to see that day. Mom, please talk to dad. If he intervenes, Cameron might listen."

"Natalia, you're an adult now. You can't act like a child anymore." Clair's voice was gentle, but to Natalia, her words were like poison, "I've been through more insults and criticism in the Reese family than you. If you can't contribute to the family, I might get kicked out too."

"Mom...." Natalia knew. She had always known that no one cared about her feelings, and that she shouldn't expect anything from this family. But when her despair became unbearable, she still hoped there would be a family member who could help her take her away from this painful environment.

Her mother not only refused to help her leave, but also pushed her deeper into agony, making her life unbearable.

Her family's concern for her was far less than Briana's. Even the inconsiderate Briana could sense something was wrong and called to check on her.

Natalia hung up the phone and continued to lie on the cold floor with tears rolling helplessly down her cheeks.

Briana wasn't around, and Cornelia wanted to go shopping, but she was afraid she'd have difficulty communicating with the staff. But, once she entered the supermarket, she realized everyone spoke English.
