Natalie’s words rendered Laney speechless.She was used to dealing with people straightforwardly with force, but Natalie’s outright coldness made her flustered and helpless.

Laney would’ve preferred it if Natalie beat her to vent her anger rather than cut off their friendship.

“Don’t act like we’re strangers, Natalie…” Laney forced a smile.

Natalie retorted coldly.

“Okay.It’s true that Mr.Larson hired me to protect you, and it’s true that I’ve been lying to you.For that, I’m sorry,”
