"Yes, Madam." The bodyguard, seeing Natalie had no intention of going out, breathed a sigh of relief. They left two men to protect Natalie while the others headed toward the alley. "Stop! Let her go!" The bodyguards' sudden intrusion stunned the others for a moment. Then, they glared viciously at Natalie’s men and said, "Mind your own damn business! Or we'll kill you!" "Save me! I'm Yulia, the Gunn family's lady! As long as you save me, I'll give you any amount of money!" When Yulia saw people enter, clearly there to save her, she immediately shouted her identity. Natalie had suspected it was Yulia when she heard the voice, but she still chose to help. It did not matter who she was. Simply as a human being, she could not stand by and watch someone in need of rescue. Seeing the bodyguards remain completely unmoved, the men abducting Yulia narrowed their eyes. "This is Gunn family business. Stay out of it, or else..." "We told you to let her go. Cut the crap." The bodyguards did not want to waste time and advanced directly. A fight instantly broke out. Yulia scrambled out during the chaos, only to see Natalie at the mouth of the alley. She paused slightly, then immediately understood."Are those bodyguards yours?" "Yes. You should go." Natalie turned to leave, but Yulia grabbed her sleeve. "What are you doing?" Natalie's brow furrowed. Yulia seized the chance to link arms with her, speaking in a low voice, "I'm going with you. If those men see me alone, they will definitely attack me again." Natalie could not help but say, "You can call the police!" "If the police were useful, I wouldn't be in this situation. Those people were sent by the Gunn family. If I go to the police, they'll just say the family wants me to go home. They won't pay any attention to my claims at all." Yulia’s words made Natalie frown even more deeply. "This has nothing to do with me! Yulia, I would have saved anyone in that situation, but that's as far as it goes. You have the ability to escape now, so stop clinging to me. I already told you, I have a strong aversion to you Gunn family members." "But you saved me. Shouldn't you see the rescue through to the end?" Yulia's words made Natalie laugh in exasperation. "Should I? In that case, I saved you. Shouldn't you be giving me a reward?" "How much money do you want? I'll give it to you." Yulia, with the casual air of wealth, offered Natalie money, but Natalie just said coolly, "My only request is that you get far away from me right now." Since she was young, Yulia had always been pampered. Before she discovered the Gunn family's dirty secrets, she had always been the high and mighty young miss who got whatever she wanted. Even after learning of the family's filthy dealings, she still could not shake the sense of superiority she had developed since childhood, even believing there was nothing in the world money could not buy. But now, she had been rejected by Natalie in both of their encounters. Yulia was in a foul mood. "Natalie, don't be ungracious." "I didn't ask you for any grace, so there's no question of me being ungracious. Yulia, if you continue to pester me, I don't mind letting those men come back and take you. After all, this has nothing to do with me." As Natalie finished speaking, Yulia’s expression changed. "Do you really not know who I am? Baron and I are blood relations!" Yulia had to bring up Baron. She had expected to see Natalie look surprised, but Natalie remained perfectly calm. "So what? My Baron has never mentioned you to me, which means you are not my sister-in-law. I saved you today purely out of a sense of duty. Miss Gunn, if there's nothing else, please leave. If you are afraid, I can have two bodyguards escort you to the police station." Natalie saw her bodyguards returning from the alley, none of them appearing to be injured. Yulia was silent for a few moments. At that point, the bodyguards had reached Natalie. "Madam, those men have left." "Send two men to take Yulia wherever she wants to go. The rest of you, back to the studio with me." "Yes, Madam."The bodyguards only followed Natalie's orders. Yulia wanted to say more, but Natalie gave her no opportunity, turning and walking away. Watching Natalie's decisive departure, Yulia hurriedly called out, "I want to go to your studio! I told you, I want to commission custom jewelry." Natalie's brows drew together tightly as she said with growing impatience, "Yulia, I've told you, I do not do business with the Gunn family." "Don't be so hasty. Or perhaps... you don't want to know the truth about being switched at birth more than twenty years ago?" At these words, Natalie's eyes narrowed instantly. "You know?"
