It should be noted that Qasim's parents were much older than Natalie. Even if they were ordinary citizens, it was still difficult for them to apologize to a young girl in public.
Natalie's eyes flickered but she did not speak.
Qasim's parents pushed Qasim towards Natalie.
Qasim was always bossy and ruthless. He was young and he did not know how society worked. However, his parents forced him to come.
"Qasim, apologize to Natalie!" Mr. Lawson snapped sharply.
Qasim snorted coldly.
He stared at Natalie resentfully.
That b*tch was the cause of his injuries and his parents even asked him to apologize to her. How could he do that?
He was eager to beat Natalie up to get his revenge.
"Qasim, did you hear your father?'¹ Mrs. Lawson was anxious when Qasim did not move.
After the incident, Mrs. Lawson knew how powerful Tobias was and they could never afford to offend him. Tobias was looking out for that girl, hence they must apologize to her.
Mrs. Lawson hated herself for pampering her son. She even told him about Natalie's relationship with Tobias but Qasim was stubborn.
Qasim was unmoving and his body was tense.
"Qasim! What the hell are you thinking?" Mr. Lawson was agitated and he slapped Qasim in the face.
Immediately, a handprint appeared on Qasim's face.
Qasim covered his cheek with his hand and his eyes were burning with hatred.
"Apologize!" Mr. Lawson raised his voice.
"There's no need to apologize." A crisp female voice rang in the classroom. It was Natalie.
Everyone turned to Natalie as she spoke.
Natalie stared at Mr. Lawson and her eyes were gleaming. She continued, "Even if he apologizes, I won't accept it. I don't need you to force an apology out of him."
She paused and added, "You're a great father. You apologized on behalf of your son in public but it's a pity that you have a disappointing son."
After that, Natalie left without another word.
A mixture of emotions clouded Mr. Lawson's eyes. After a few moments, he dragged Qasim, who was rooted to the spot and left.
Natalie went out of the classroom and the crowd dumbfounded.
All the students exchanged confused looks and they could not believe their eyes.
How did things turn out like that?
Qasim's parents were influential in Aphagen City.
On the contrary, Natalie was poor and powerless. Any influential figure could squash her like an ant.
However, why did Qasim's parents apologize to Natalie? Moreover, she seemed very arrogant too.
In the end, everyone concluded that Natalie was just lucky.
Qasim bullied Natalie and coincidentally, his parents were reasonable. Therefore, they did not put up a fight and apologized to Natalie.
"That must be it. Although Qasim is quite terrible, his parents are very reasonable. Otherwise, that would never happen!"
"That's right. Natalie was so arrogant just now when she should be happy that they didn't touch her."
"Natalie is really lucky to meet Qasim's parents."
"She's just a poor woman, so why was she so arrogant? The big shots even came to apologize to her, so what's with that attitude?"
Yvonne and Sebastian ran out of the classroom to find Natalie.
Natalie was standing there with a thoughtful look.
