Chapter 41：In Her Defense (1/2)

Natali didn't know how she should answer that question. Why didn't things go according to her plan? Why did her plan fail miserably?

She planned to make Aiden appear to be having an affair with Anya. Thus, she, as a victim of the affair, was forced to cancel their engagement. That was her initial plan. The plan that she had arranged perfectly.

Who would have thought that her plan, which had originally gone smoothly, would suddenly fall apart?

She didn't expect Aiden to announce in front of everyone that he and Natali were just matchmaking on behalf of their family, while Anya was the woman he loved.

Aiden rarely appeared in public. But for the sake of Anya, his true love, he publicly announced that he chose to cancel the engagement and let his partnership with the Tedjasukmana company end. All that was only for Anya.

How could everyone fail to see the way that man defended the woman he loved? How could everyone not defend a man who loved a woman so much that he was willing to give up everything?

What about Natali?

Natali had to endure pain as her skin was burnt by hot water. She had to go to see several dermatologists and beauticians so that the scars didn't leave marks on her flawless skin.

Worse yet, she became the clown of the story. Everyone secretly laughed at her and insulted her. Everyone made fun of her because she was only used as a matchmaking tool by his parents. Not only that, Aiden didn't even want to accept her and just threw her away.

There wasn't a single person standing up for her…

Her reputation was ruined. Everyone now thought of her as an evil woman who trapped her own sister. Everyone thought of her as the woman who had been dumped by Aiden Atmajaya. Was there even a man who wanted to approach her after knowing all this? It wouldn't be a stretch to say no man would want to marry her!

Seeing Natali idle, Deny felt impatient. His body continued to writhe like a worm in hot ashes and his hands continued to sweat. He was afraid that Aiden was getting angry because Natali didn't say anything. He couldn't stay still! In the end, he decided to speak up.

”Aiden, Natali and Anya were sisters. They were siblings. Natali knows that Anya likes you, so she doesn't want to compete with her sister. Unfortunately, she chose to take such a childish act.”

Anya looked at her father with disbelief. What nonsense was her father saying?! Since when was her father good at making up stories like this?

Aiden looked away then looked at Deny, ”Am I asking you?” He interrupted Deny's words, making the man immediately shut his mouth tight.

Deny could feel Aiden's sharp gaze, making his whole body tremble under that gaze. His hands were getting sweatier so he tried to wipe the sweat off his shirt. He didn't dare make the slightest sound. In the end he decided to turn his gaze to Anya. He tried to ask Anya for help.

Seeing her father's gaze that landed on her, Anya felt both angry and helpless. On the one hand, she was annoyed that her father had only considered her existence at times like this, only when he needed her help. Since the first time they entered the house, did her father ever glance at her? Not a bit.

However, she still had the soft spot and wanted to help her father.

Still, what could she do? There was nothing she could do if Natali was not truly sincere and regretted what she had done.
