My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Mr. Lawson grabbed Mrs. Lawson's hand and warned in a low voice, "Can't you tell that she's Tobias' woman? How dare you provoke her? Shut up!"

The man was Tobias! Mrs. Lawson was taken aback.

She was a woman in an upper- class society. Although she did not know Tobias personally, she had heard about him before.

"Well, it's not that serious. It's just a small fight between the kids." Mrs. Lawson forced a smile.

In truth, Natalie's kick landed Qasim in the hospital.

However, the girl was Tobias' woman, hence the Lawson family could only swallow their frustrations.

Mr. Aaron knew that the man was exceptional but he did not expect him to be Tobias!

He was shocked. Natalie was just an ordinary poor student, right? Every year, she would need to get a scholarship to continue her studies. How could she have anything to do with Tobias?

"Yes, yes, that's right! It's just a small misunderstanding between the students." Mr. Aaron could not afford to offend any of them, thus he decided to be the peacemaker.

"A small misunderstanding?" Tobias stared at Mr. Aaron with a faint smile. The principal's heart skipped a beat and he felt suffocated under pressure.

Mr. Lawson stepped forward swiftly and said, "Natalie, it's all my son's fault. We were being unreasonable."

He was reluctant to apologize. It was the first time he apologized to a girl who was his son's age.

Natalie could sense Mr. Lawson's unwillingness.

"If apologies ever do the trick, why do we still need the police?" Natalie asked.

She would never forget that Mr. Lawson would have sent her to prison if Tobias did not appear.

She was nearly humiliated by Qasim and his father was going to throw her in jail.

Mr. Lawson was taken aback.

He thought that the girl was young and simple-minded but his expectation was far from correct.

"How dare you? We..." Mrs. Lawson was very infuriated. She was about to scold Natalie when she suddenly recalled that Tobias was around.

She decided to hold back and swallow her angry remarks. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"No matter what, you kicked my son. We won't hold you responsible now, so what else do you want?" she could not help but venture in a low voice.

Mr. Lawson immediately glared at Mrs. Lawson.

Tobias' eyes were cold. "What you did leads to what you get. If nothing happened, then it wouldn't result in any consequences. Well, shouldn't we hold your son responsible for his actions?" Mr. Lawson was shocked. He knew that his son was at fault. If Tobias were to hold his son responsible, his son would be in deep trouble.

He immediately explained, "Mr. Whitlock, it's all my fault for not educating my son properly. I'll definitely make it up to Natalie. Please don't worry about it."

Tobias turned to Natalie.

Mr. Aaron tried to resolve the problem too. "Natalie, Qasim is a fellow schoolmate, right? Let's just forget about it."

If this matter were to escalate, it would damage the university's image.

Natalie spotted Mr. Aaron's pleading eyes.

Although Mr. Aaron did nothing to help her this time, he used to treat her well. He would make sure that she received her scholarship every year.

She was grateful. Moreover, Mr. Lawson said that he would make it up to her.

"Well, since you mentioned that you would make it up to me, let's just forget it," Natalie said to Mr. Lawson, "I won't get thrown in jail or expelled, right?"

Mr. Lawson was very embarrassed. "Of course, it's my fault for not educating my son."

Natalie had nothing else to say. She left the principal's office with Tobias.

"Thank you."

When no one was around, Natalie looked up and thanked Tobias sincerely.

Tobias stared at Natalie quietly. "Thank you for helping me. You made me feel like someone important for once," Natalie added seriously.

Naturally, she understood that Qasim's parents and even Mr. Aaron changed their minds because of Tobias.

"Why were you here?" Natalie asked again after Tobias remained silent.

They strolled around the campus. Everyone was in class, therefore there was no one around.

"I received a photo," Tobias replied placidly.

"What photo?" Natalie's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that photo?

Tobias glanced at Natalie meaningfully. "It's a photo of you cheating on me."

Natalie was at a loss for words.

"No, that photo's fake! It's Photoshopped," Natalie explained hurriedly.

She was extremely anxious. She was afraid that Tobias would misunderstand her.

"That photo's edited. I never... Did it with anyone else but you," Natalie added.

"I know," Tobias raised his elegant eyebrow and continued, "I can tell immediately that it's Photoshopped."

Tobias was indeed a PhD holder. He was different from everyone else.

So many people thought that the photo was real because it seemed believable. Tobias was the only one who was sharp enough to tell that it was edited.

He had a brilliant educational background and a high IQ! No wonder he was the president of YS Group.

Natalie idolized Tobias.

"I can tell that you're not the woman in the photo. You don't have such a great figure," Tobias answered flatly.

Natalie's face froze.

That was how he was able to tell... Well, she was thinking too much. In fact, Tobias was not that smart.

"Whoever did it did a horrible job. I can still tell that it was Photoshopped," Tobias added.

Natalie was at a loss.

Why could Tobias not finish his sentence properly?

"That photo must have something to do with your missing phone, right?"

Natalie's admiration for Tobias was ignited again. He was indeed very intelligent.

"I think so." Natalie nodded.

"I'll get a proper explanation," Tobias concluded calmly.

Natalie's heart skipped a beat.

Did he mean that he would help her investigate what happened?

She wanted to ask when her mobile phone rang.

"Natalie, what happened? How are things going?" Yvonne was probably in class, hence she lowered her voice.

"I'll tell you later," Natalie replied.

"Okay, I'll hang up first."

After hanging up the call, Natalie realized that they reached the school entrance.

"Go back to class. I'll return to the company," Tobias said softly.

Natalie nodded. She gazed at the extraordinary man admiringly. There was a burst of emotion in her.

She recalled how Qasim's father treated Tobias obsequiously. Mr. Lawson was the mayor's secretary and he was a big shot to Natalie.

However, Mr. Lawson acted ingratiatingly when he spotted Tobias. Therefore, Tobias must be very influential.

Suddenly, she felt like she did not know Tobias.

She knew that Tobias was an excellent man as the president of YS Group. However, she never knew that Tobias was that powerful.

When the thought struck her, she felt that the gap between them grew indefinitely.

"I'll be going now." Tobias boarded the Lincoln that was parked in front of the university and sped off.

Natalie strode back to her classroom.

The lecturer spotted Natalie and nodded to motion Natalie to enter the class.

Natalie slipped back to her seat.

Queenie was shocked when she noticed Natalie. Natalie came back? Did Qasim's parents let her go?
