Natalie sat quietly, waiting patiently to wish her grandfather when he arrived. Soon, the elderly couple entered the garden, and everyone gathered to welcome them.
Meanwhile, Briena emerged with her cousins and friends. They all noticed Natalie sitting alone, flanked only by her two bodyguards.
"Does she think she's some kind of celebrity or really rich, needing bodyguards with her all the time?" one girl scoffed.
Briena shrugged casually. "Why don't you go ask her?"
They smirked and made their way toward Natalie.
Noticing them approaching, Natalie spoke quietly to her two men. "You might see the unpleasant side of my family today, but you're not allowed to intervene or harm anyone. Just stay put."
"What if someone tries to harm you?"
"They won't. They may insult me, but I can handle that," she replied.
The two nodded, though they both knew that if anyone tried to harm her, they wouldn't hesitate to step in.
