Chapter 1286

"No, you don't understand! Once I give the antidote and Nicole has regained consciousness, there is no way Shawn will let me go! He lied to you! He is so ruthless and hates me so much!" Natalie said. Aurum sighed. "Why do you distrust me so much? Do you think I can't protect you?" "It's not that I don't believe in you; it's that I don't believe in Shawn! Nicole is my amulet, and it's also a means for me to make Gale suffer." Natalie maintained vigilance. Seeing that she was still so unrepentant, Aurum knew he could not persuade her anymore. Aurum changed the subject. "Let's eat first." He walked toward the dining room, but Natalie remained motionless. "What's wrong? Aren't you hungry?" He looked back at her. "Why did you bring me back to your house? Will Shawn let me go? Or... have you come up with some new tricks to deal with me?" Natalie asked. Aurum remained calm. "I made a deal with Shawn, and he let me take you away," he said. "What deal?" "I'll tell you after dinner."
