NovelOnlineChapter 165 Chapter 165: The voice sounded vaguely unfamiliar to Rachel.
Rachel turned to see a young woman energetically approaching Brian and linking her arm through his. "Brian, you were supposed to tellwhen you and your fiancée were picking out wedding attire so I could calong. You always forget your promises. Thankfully, I heard you were here, or I would've missed this. And you haven't yet introducedto your bride-to-be!" The girl standing next to Brian was a bundle of energy, chatting nonstop. Brian massaged his temples, a headache beginning to form. "Are you sure you're not just here to cause trouble?" The girl swiftly placed her hands on her hips and frowned. "Brian, I don't appreciate that comment. I know you're not fond of me, but liking you is my choice, and nobody can change that." Brian gently pushed her away, his tone firm, saying, “Natalia, you're like a sister to me. There will never be anything romantic between us." Hearing this, Natalia Carpenter's face took on a childish sulk, and she began to plead with teary eyes. "Why? I never stood a chance when you were with Tracy, and now with your new girlfriend, I've heard it's just to make Carol happy. If it's all for Carol's sake, why can't it be me?" Brian's demeanor turned cold instantly. He withdrew his hand, his tone turning cold. "Natalia, stop this foolishness. I won't let you disturb her. I'm calling your father now to have him pick you up." Natalia Carpenter's fear surged as she clung to his hand, her plea becoming more desperate. “Okay, I'll leave. Just, please, don't tell my father." Brian gave a slight nod.

Natalia halted abruptly, recognition dawning on her. She knew Brian had gotten engaged upon her return, though she had yet to meet his fiancée, aware only of her name.
Moving closer, she positioned herself next to Rachel. Rachel stood quite tall, her stature accentuated by the high heels she wore, dwarfing Natalia slightly. Consequently, Natalia had to tilt her head back to make eye contact.
"Are you Rachel, Brian's girlfriend?" Natalia inquired, her voice carrying a challenging, inquisitive tone.
Rachel affirmed with a nod. "Yes, that's me." Natalia scrutinized her from head to toe for a lengthy three minutes.
Finally, she said, "You're very beautiful, even more so than Tracy. But..." Natalia straightened her posture, puffing out her chest confidently. "I'm not too shabby myself. Actually, I'm quite intrigued." Rachel, slightly startled, responded, "Intrigued by what?"

Natalia nodded in agreement. "I think so too. I heard Tracy is already m married; maybe that's why Brian finally gave up and agreed to marry you. Not exactly something to brag about."
