Chapter 338 Repaying a favor
Alexander had a stern face as he sat to the left of Adam, neither admitting nor denying.
From his appearance, Natalie knew that he was genuinely angry.
It didn’t surprise her to see him with an irritated expression.
After all, he was the head of the Turner family and usually held a high position. The people below naturally treated him with deference, flattery, and obedience.
It would have been surprising if he could maintain a smiling face in the face of such impoliteness from someone like
Tory, a younger generation.
Such individuals were usually like smiling tigers.
Appearing friendly and pleasant on the Spears family’s face while secretly plotting countless schemes behind your
back.
If Alexander was such a person, the situation would become much more complicated.
“Turner, I’m asking you, does the Turner family acknowledge this incident?”
Adam didn’t eat or drink anymore, sitting upright with his gaze fixed on the man.
Alexander pondered for a moment, his expression both impatient and serious.
“The Turner family… does not acknowledge it.”
Alexander sat down confidently after a sleeve flick, his attitude shifting from friendly to firm.
“There must be a misunderstanding… Although our family’s Lara is often willful, his intentions are good. The authenticity of this matter still needs to be confirmed.”
“When the evidence is presented, I will personally bring Lara to the Spears family to apologize.”
He had initially set aside his dignity to improve relations with the Graham family. But with Tory’s impoliteness, the need for this cooperation seemed less pressing.
As soon as Alexander made these remarks, the sound of utensils being forcefully thrown onto the table could be heard.
“Alexander, what are you saying?!”
“Ask yourself how you spoke before and suddenly refuse to acknowledge it now?”
“Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”
Tory’s eyebrows knitted in anger, expressing his righteous indignation.
One second he was raising his cup to apologize for his granddaughter, and the next second he was lying with his eyes

wide open, refusing to take responsibility?
Did he really think the Spears family members present were all blind?
Tory regretted not recording Alexander’s words earlier, which would have given him a chance to expose the
contradiction.
Alexander looked at the furious Tory and chuckled softly.
“You’re exaggerating, my young friend.”
“It’s just a little playfulness between girls. How does that conscience?”
“Girls often have misunderstandings even they themselves are unaware of. As a half-dead old fellow, how could I take responsibility for Lara in this matter?”
The man spoke casually, as if it were a trivial matter.
Tory was infuriated once again by his words.
“Just a little playfulness? This ‘little playfulness’ caused our family to worry sick and nearly cost us a life?!”
“It wasn’t Lara who had a high fever. Of course, it’s easy for you to speak without any personal pain!”
Tory stood up, his furious gaze fixed on Alexander.
“If Julian hadn’t found Natalie in the changing room on time, she would’ve surely died.”
“If Natalie had lost her life, the entire Turner family would have no peace!”
“The Turner family should be grateful that Julian saved a life for you.”
Upon hearing Julian’s name, Natalie’s gaze deepened.
It was Julian who found her in the changing room and carried her out.
He saved her life.
Natalie’s emotions were complicated, unsure of what to say.
She was someone who disliked owing favors to others, and she always found a way to repay kindness shown to her.
If Julian told her that he saved her, she would definitely find a way to repay the debt.
Natalie was certain that Julian understood her character very well.
After all, when she was staying at the Graham family, as long as Oliver and Linda treated her a little better, she would find ways to cook a delicious meal or buy them some gifts.
Regardless, she would do her best to reciprocate their kindness.
She didn’t want to owe anyone any favors, nor did she enjoy it.
Whenever she attended banquets with Julian, some ladies would give her peculiar trinkets, limited edition jewelry, or
clothes.
Even though she didn’t have anything to return as a gift, she would write down each present and make sure to
reciprocate them one by one.
Every time this happened, Julian would impatiently tell her, “There’s no need to return each gift. These gifts are just
like the cost of a casual dinner for thoseladies.”
“They give them to you because they want to build a good relationship with the Graham family…”
“If you accept these gifts, the benefits and value they will receive from the Graham family in the future will far
outweigh these presents.”
However, Natalie never listened. Regardless of others’ intentions, she stubbornly believed that these favors should be
returned.
Julian was well aware of her character.
He was certain that if he told her about saving her, she would definitely feel obligated to return the favor.
But Julian didn’t tell her.
He didn’t seek credit for himself or even want her to know that he had saved her.
What did he mean? Did he not want her to repay this favor?
“This matter is far from a trivial quarrel between girls. Regardless of what your Turner family says, my family will
settle this debt.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Tory’s attitude was firm.
“Today, Lara must personally come and apologize.”
“And she must promise to treat Natalie respectfully from now on, to the whole city of New York.”
Alexander didn’t show much expression upon hearing the first sentence, but he couldn’t hold back after hearing the
second one.
He snorted.
Lara had to make a public promise?
Then wouldn’t everyone in New York know what Lara had done?
In that case, Lara’s reputation in New York would be ruined. Who would marry into their families then?
Moreover, there were so many wealthy young ladies in New York, and they weren’t to be trifled with. Just one word from any of them could drown Lara.
He would never allow his granddaughter to fall into such a situation.

“Originally, our Turner family took a step back in this matter, coming to your Spears family in a peaceful manner, hoping to resolve the issue and turn it into a friendly gesture.”
“But your Spears family insists on blowing it out of proportion, not only disregarding my face but also pushing the boundaries…”
“If Your Spears family acts unrighteously first, then I have no choice but to reciprocate in the same manner.”
Alexander completely didn’t believed that the Turner family was at fault in this matter, and he blamed Tory for the whole situation.
“Pushing the boundaries, huh?” Finally spoke Adam, his tone full of vigor, emanating an overwhelming sense of
oppression.
He chuckled, “What audacity.”
“Let me ask you this: if your granddaughter was locked in a changing room, forced to go through a terrifying experience, would you be able to stay calm? Would you still think it’s just pushing the boundaries?!”
“Lara must be summoned today!”
Adam waved his hand repeatedly, his words carrying a resolute tone.
“Otherwise, there will be no further discussion about cooperation between the Spears family and the Turner family.”
With that statement, the Spears family made it clear that they had issued an ultimatum, leaving no room for the Turner family to disagree.
Natalie sat in her seat, attempting to interject a few times, but her uncle and grandfather stopped her each time….
With her uncle and grandfather present, she didn’t need to speak at all. They would stand in front, shielding her from any harm, and resolve everything, leaving her to be a carefree princess.
At that moment, Natalie felt an warmth enveloping her.
It was the feeling of being cherished by her family.
