Chapter 15
Katherine saw Natalie's face full of disbelief before the latter plunged into the pool with a plop sound.
Katherine only watched Natalie, who had fallen into the pool.
She raised her hand and patted the place where Natalie's hand touched her a while ago.
She gave Zack, who was looking at her, one last look before she walked back into the hall.
Chloe, who was looking for Natalie, saw the whole thing.
She rushed over and raised her hands to block Katherine, "Stop!"
"Someone, help! Someone come and save me! Help!"
Chloe stopped and glanced at Natalie, who shouted for help as if Katherine had killed someone.
Natalie's shout reverberated to the main hall that people took notice and watched.
Some looked over at the scene while others immediately ran out.
They saw Katherine being confronted by Chloe and Natalie, who was now somehow struggling in the pool.
Most of the people were now making their own conclusion as to what could have happened.
A friend of Natalie's pulled her up from the swimming pool.
She looked all wet and bedraggled but managed to pinpoint where Katherine was.
She saw the latter with Chloe, who was preventing Katherine from leaving.
Before Natalie could utter a word, she saw Zack come out of the hall.
Natalie bit her lower lip and held her tongue.
She did her best to walk as confidently as she could with all her wet I clothes, toward Katherine.She wore a mask of a pitiful and aggrieved facade and made a coughing sound. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
"A-hem, a-hem, a-hem...I have never done anything wrong to you, I Katherine.Why would you do this to me?"
Katherine watched Natalie saunter towards her.
Katherine first noticed the little red flush of embarrassment on Natalie's face.
Then she noticed Natalie's look of distress.
With such a pitiful expression on Natalie's face, Katherine thought of how much more pitiful than she really was. Some of the people watching started to point accusingly at Katherine.
Chloe took that as a signal to defend Natalie.
She grabbed Katherine by the arm and spat out, "Don't try to deny it! I saw you push Natalie into the pool!"
Chloe was angry.
When she saw Zack walking towards them, she added, "Right! My brother was looking out of the window and was also nearby.He must have seen it too!"
When the onlookers heard, all eyes turned towards Zack.
They watched breathlessly.
Zack indeed saw what happened.
But Zack had no intention of getting involved in the matter.
He was more worried now that Chloe was involved and everyone was watching, but Zack concealed it under a calm and cold face.
"Zack…” Natalie, who seemed to be leaning towards her friend for support, suddenly spoke.
Her voice was soft, almost like a whisper of a woman who suffered countless grievances.
Her voice even trembled a little with relief as if she had found her savior.
"Did you see it too? I really...really didn't do anything to Katherine” As soon as Natalie finished speaking, tears flowed out of her eyes.
People gasping were heard all over.
The spectators had now confirmed that the two were rivals in love.
They also speculated that Katherine, the ex-wife, couldn't get over Zack and had kicked Natalie, the current lover, into the pool for revenge! Natalie looked at Zack pleadingly.
Her desire to get Zack's attention and love as well as her disguised pain was palpable in her eyes.
Even Katherine herself couldn't admire how good Natalie was in acting.
"Sorry, I didn't see it” Zack didn't show an inch of his emotion as he looked at Natalie and said those words.
He then inclined his head and looked at Katherine, who had been silent all this time.
Natalie looked stunned.
Zack's words cut her like a knife.
It was cold and ruthless, the atmosphere turned awkward.
Chloe got impatient and insisted, "Natalie, I saw it! I saw this vicious woman kick you into the pool with my own eyes!"
She pointed an indignant finger at Katherine.
Having had enough, Katherine didn't want to waste any more of her time.
She raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "I did kick her down."
Katherine said this with a smile on her face.
Her eyes were twinkling with mischief, but not an ounce of guilt could be seen in those slender eyes.
Most people would be shocked by Katherine's confession maybe even disgusted, but with her beautiful face smiling like an angel of mercy, people would forgive even the worst of her crimes.
