At Peter's orders, the bodyguards pulled Selina away. She tried to fight back to protect Natalie, but she was no match for them.
Soon, she was pulled away by the bodyguards.
They closed in on Natalie.
Natalie's mind went blank for a moment.
She had thought that Peter would get mad at her and scold her, which was all within her expectations.
The reason why she still wanted to come was because she wanted to relieve Peter's anger and more so the guilt she felt.
But she had not expected that Peter would get increasingly agitated, and even wanted her to die.
Death was not scary, nor was she afraid of death.
But she was worried that Tobias was still alive in this world. If she died, what would Tobias do?
She could not die.
She had to stay alive, and live properly. She had to wait until the day when Tobias returned.
When one of the bodyguards grabbed Natalie's arm, she quickly bit him.
The bodyguard jumped up in pain.
Peter was even angrier when he saw this.
"You're rebelling. Not only did you get Tobias killed, but you're even rebelling against the Whitlock family. This woman can't be spared. Get a gun. I'm going to kill this woman myself!"
"Mr. Peter, stop!" A woman's voice suddenly came out of nowhere.
Everyone was stunned.
Cecilia walked out, dressed in full white.
Her footsteps were very light, as if she would fall down in the next second with every step she took.
However, she still walked over.
Her eyes fell on the hands of the bodyguard who had grabbed Natalie. "Let her go."
Hesitation flashed in the bodyguard's eyes.
"I said, let her go." This time, Cecilia said with a hint of sternness in her tone.
The bodyguard had to let Natalie go.
"Cecilia, what are you doing?!" Peter glared at Cecilia with rage. "Don't you know that this woman killed your son?!"
Was the Whitlock family completely bewitched by this Natalie?
It was one thing for Remington and Tobias to be tempted by her beauty, but Cecilia and Selina were the same too!
This woman had killed Tobias, yet as Tobias' mother and sister, they were still protecting her!
Cecilia's red and swollen eyes were full of sorrow. "Stop it, Mr. Peter. Tobias wouldn't like you doing something like this."
Peter's entire body shook.
With every word, it was like Cecilia was weeping with grief. "Before Tobias left, I tried to talk him out of it, but he still went. He loved Natalie and wanted to protect her, and now that he's no longer around, I can't let anything happen to Natalie. How can I face him if something happens to her? Mr. Peter, please let Natalie go, for Tobias' sake."
From the start up until now, even when her life was threatened, Natalie did not cry.
However, after hearing Cecilia's words, she could not hold back her tears.
Tears fell from her eyes like beads off a broken string.
She had not expected Cecilia to help her in such a situation.
If it was Selina trying to help her, then it might be because Selina thought that Tobias was still alive.
However, Cecilia firmly believed that Tobias no longer existed in this world.
However, in such a situation, Cecilia still protected her. How could Natalie not feel guilty and upset?
Natalie wanted to say something, but she could not say a word, as if her throat had been blocked.
