“So you’re not going to do it?” Harrison exhaled a puff of smoke.

“That’s right, I’m not!” Natalie shut her eyes, forcing the anger back inwards. All that was left was deep disappointment in her voice. “I need to know, Harrison. Do you even see me as your daughter?”

Harrison’s age-riddled face twitched. “Of course, I do, but there’s a difference between close and estranged daughters. I know you probably hate me, and I know that you’ll never listen to what I tell you to do. So I can only sacrifice you in order to protect Jas.”

Hearing this, Natalie snorted ironically.

Harrison frowned. His voice deepened upsettingly, “Don’t blame me. But for the sake of us being father and daughter, I’ll give you another chance to think carefully about your answer. I’ll call you later tonight to ask you again.”

He hung up after saying that.

Natalie sucked in a deep breath and patted her face, recomposing herself. Then, she climbed out of bed and headed for the door.
