The Rise Of Nathalia Carter Chapter 360
Advertisement
Looking defeated, Vincent Berry gave up and said to Curt, "Mr. Curt Davidson, would you please help and explain to your dear daughter-in-law? We, the Berry family, dare not upset her at all."
Though Vincent Berry seemed to be apologetic, his tone betrayed his real thoughts. Nathalia heard the sarcasm, and she snapped, "Don't make it sound like I'm the one that's being unfair to you! You know very well what you have done. Why? Are you trying to deny it? Coward!"
I have been defensive and very patient with your ridiculousness. But now you are implying that it's me that caused all this nonsense?!
Wendy finally burst out chuckling. Bravo! She's definitely the best girl I've ever met! These people need to learn their lessons, not to irritate her.
Having made sure that she looked perfectly fine, Kelly stepped out and said, "Mr. Curt Davidson, would you not be fair and just? Nathalia is insulting us all. She's so mean."
Curt had a sip of the champagne and said casually, "I believe Nathalia knows very well what she's doing, and it seems she doesn't need my help here yet."
Now everyone was clear of Curt's attitude. He had been watching and listening and judging when or if he needed to interfere to help Nathalia.
The crowd had suspected that the Davidsons were tearing themselves apart within the family, with the disagreement between Curt and Spencer as well as the coming divorce of Curt and his wife. Now it seemed that such suspicion was unnecessary.
Whatever happened, Nathalia would still be Mrs. Nathalia Davidson, and she would become the mistress of the family in the future.
Kelly was too angry to give up so easily. "Mr. Curt Davidson, my sister Amy respected you and cared for you very much. She died so young. Don't you think you should at least say something to her? Don't you think you are being unfair?"

Matt frowned at Kelly's questions.
The crowd shook their heads in disapproval. She's so dumb.
As expected, the smile on Curt's face disappeared, and he said seriously, "Unfair? Didn't your sister kill herself? That's a stupid and selfish thing to do. I'm glad that my children understand life better and have more sense."
Since Amy Berry committed suicide, a lot of journalists had tried to interview Curt to find out his opinions on it, but they were all rejected, and Curt had not said anything about it till now.
The Berry family was shocked to hear Curt's comment on Amy's death. Kelly gasped in disbelief. "What? No. You can't say that. She was in a despairing state. She had to end her life this way only because she was forced to because she was desperate. Oh...poor Amy..." she started sobbing in an exaggerated way.
The hosts were not pleased with all. It was supposed to be a cheerful party. She has no idea who she's speaking to! Why would Curt Davidson help a stranger instead of his daughter-in-law? The Berry children are all so dumb.
Curt looked at her sternly and questioned, "Are you implying that I'm to blame, Miss Kelly Berry?"
Though he wasn't loud, he stated it clearly and sounded threatening.
"No. No. I was, no..." Kelly stammered. How dare I ever blame you at all?
Curt lifted his brows and said icily, "Desperate? Who forced her? Did I not treat her well? Did she lack anything?"
Everyone could sense that Curt was annoyed, and surely the Berry family was now in big trouble. To be fair, it's nothing unusual that couples divorce or separate nowadays. Amy Berry didn't have to make such a big deal of it and even ended her life. Stupid. Also, if the Berry family should blame anyone, they should blame Matt Davidson instead of Nathalia Davidson. The crowd thought. They probably think she's an easier target, which is not at all.

"I'm, I..." Frightened, Kelly's jaw dropped, and she lost her tongue.
Vincent Berry stepped out to help immediately, "Mr. Curt Davidson, please don't get angry. Kelly didn't mean to upset you. We sincerely apologize."
Curt ignored him and looked away, for which Vincent Berry's face went pale. It was not a good sign at all. He panicked.
Just then, there came a commotion at the gate, and some people murmured that Nate Morgan had arrived.
Everyone turned to look with excitement. With the escort of a few bodyguards who all dressed smartly and expensively, Nate Morgan entered and walked straight into the center of attention. His incredibly handsome face, tall and slim figure, impeccable attire, and manner charmed the crowd immediately.
The hosts greeted him warmly, but Nate appeared a bit cold. It seemed like he wasn't easy to get along with; however, his charm had made a lot of ladies and girls blush and exclaim.
He was soon gathered around by a large crowd. Curt and Matt remained seated and watched the excitement indifferently. Nathalia leaned on a tall table, looking a bit bored, while Wendy tried to ran over to Nate but had to retreat as she couldn't get through the crowd.
"Nathalia, Nate Morgan is so handsome! He's my cup of tea for sure!" Wendy exclaimed.
Nathalia played with her hair casually and said, "Not sure if you are his, though."
Wendy rolled her eyes at her, discouraged by her comment and at the same time amazed at her indifference. Everyone's so excited to see Nate Morgan, but she's like it has nothing to do with her. "Why? You are so discouraging, Nathalia. Who knows? I'm probably his kind of girl."
"Alright. Good luck." Nathalia teased. Wendy was speechless. Anyway, she's Nathalia. Her way of thinking isn't what normal people can understand.
Nate Morgan glanced around the room, and when he looked in Nathalia's direction, he smiled gently. Kelly, who was standing close to Nathalia, exclaimed, "Oh, my god! He just smiled at me!"
It was such an unpleasant shriek to the ear that Nathalia frowned and thought, what's wrong with her?
Wendy was so curious that despite her contempt for Kelly, she asked, "Why? Do you know Mr. Nate Morgan?"

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw
