Natalie frowned slightly. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "How about we talk here?""No!"Natalie was silent.She felt like she was suffocating.Her chest heaved silently as frustration built up within her. If it weren't for Bianca, she wouldn't be so patient with Cedric!She started the car and left the underground parking lot, only to realize that it was raining.It was a heavy downpour!Driving in such weather was challenging for her, especially with her already compromised vision. She drove slowly and even turned on the hazard lights."Drive faster, I'm feeling uncomfortable." The man in the back seat didn't appreciate the slow speed.And indeed, he was feeling uncomfortable, especially after drinking. Natalie's driving skills made him a bit sick.Natalie's already unpleasant complexion worsened upon hearing Cedric's complaint. "Why don't you drive then?""How many days do you want to dine out in public with me?" Drunk driving would result in heavy penalties
"What else do you have besides using Bianca to threaten me?" Natalie turned around when the man reached the door. Anger burned in her eyes.The man stopped and looked at her. Then, he said, "I don't want to deal with you like this. Let's go.""..."Natalie couldn't stop trembling as she stood in place. The anger within her was burning furiously.Though angry and unwilling, she eventually followed the man's footsteps. The rain continued to fall, the intensity less than before.But for Natalie, it was still the same."Where to?" Natalie drove slowly on the mountain road."Morina Hotel!"Isabella was still staying at Morina Hotel? Wasn't he the one who brought her here? If so, why would he let her stay in such a place? But whether Cedric brought her or not didn't mean anything to Natalie.They were the only car on the mountain road, but Natalie's speed remained slow.Cedric frowned, "Faster!"Natalie replied, "If you find it slow, drive yourself!" Her tone remained unfr
Lucas was clearly aware of what Natalie had done. He had to admit that Natalie's audacity knew no bounds. After taking such an action, she even called him to inform him that she had the car driven into Lament River.Lucas said, "After Madam left this afternoon, she had her people drive the car to Lament River."Cedric was silent.His face instantly stiffened, and even the corner of his eye couldn't help but twitch. Despite being extravagant himself, he couldn't help but label Natalie as a wasteful woman in his heart at this moment."Madam has quite a temper now!" Lucas couldn't help but comment.He couldn't fathom where she had the nerve to order such an expensive car be sent to Lament River like this.Lucas and the others had all been with Cedric before. Naturally, they knew what kind of person Natalie used to be. People's characters were definitely different in different positions. The once gentle Natalie Walker was completely gone."That's quite a temper indeed," Cedric
Back at Lotus Villa, Heather had prepared a highly nutritious soup for Natalie. Despite feeling nauseous at the thought of drinking it, Natalie forced herself to do so, not wanting to disappoint her concerned aunt. Since returning to her aunt's care, she had grown tired of almost everything she used to enjoy eating. That was because she ate so much of it. She couldn't let Heather know what she liked; if she did, Heather would make her eat it all the time, even if she didn't want to."How is it?" Heather asked."Very tasty!" Natalie replied, her conscience aching at the dishonesty.Heather visibly brightened at Natalie's words. "If you like it, that's great. This soup is good for your complexion. Since you've returned, your skin has improved quite a bit.""Well, if it weren't good, you would have worked in vain, right, Aunt?""Oh, you and your sweet words." Heather chuckled.At home, Natalie didn't wear her glasses because the lighting was gentle and didn't strain her eyes.
In the past two years, Natalie discovered a very serious issue—Heather's temper was not as good as before. Moreover, Heather was now extremely sensitive. She could hardly control her emotions, especially when there was the slightest movement or disturbance around her.It seemed like she was very nervous...!"Yes! My vision has greatly improved under your care in the past two years, Aunt!" Natalie quickly added."You're talking nonsense. Do you think I don't know the condition of your body?" Heather snapped."I'm not. I'm telling you the truth!""I've already fired Karina!" Heather exclaimed.Natalie was speechless. At these words, her heart tightened. She could tell that Heather was genuinely upset this time. Heather had never personally dismissed a company employee before. However, this time...Natalie hesitantly looked at Heather. "Aunt, it's actually my fault. Don't blame the people around me!""If you know it's your fault, be more careful next time!""Then, you-"
Sure enough, Karina was no longer there. The only person who came to pick up Natalie was Leon. When she arrived at the company, Wendy was already waiting for her.Judging by Wendy's appearance, she had already taken over Karina's work. "Ms. Walker!""Yeah?""In the future, you mustn't drive, okay?" Wendy pleaded with Natalie.In the office, Wendy was known for her tough personality. So, for her to say something like this indicated that she also knew the reason why Karina had left. Everyone around her was giving her nervous looks. It was as if Natalie's eyes were a danger to herself."I got it.""No, that's not enough! You have to promise!""Okay, I promise," Natalie said with a smile.Wendy thought Karina had really been fired. In reality, Stephen had transferred her elsewhere when he got news of what had happened."What's the schedule for today?""There's a meeting in ten minutes. I'll be handling your schedule from now on."Apparently, they were trying to prevent her
In the Entes family, the fifth and sixth sons each held half of the power and control.Natalie had previously secured a project with the sixth son. Perhaps due to the relatively good cooperation, the fifth son took the initiative to extend an olive branch!Natalie glanced at Wendy. "How are the relationships between the sons in the Entes family?"Wendy replied, "The relationship between the fifth and sixth sons has never been good."Never been good? In that case... "Decline it."If the fifth and the sixth sons didn't have a good relationship, there were only a few possibilities as to why the fifth son would approach Natalie soon after she secured a project with the sixth son.What if it was due to some internal dispute among these prominent families? In the past two years, Natalie had witnessed the turbulent undercurrents between large families. She had skillfully avoided getting involved on many occasions. Of course, when necessary, she could be quite firm! Just like
In the afternoon, Natalie once again spent her time in a meeting. After the meeting, Wendy came to report to her when Natalie exited the conference room."Ms. Walker.""What is it?""There's a Ms. Morgan here to see you!"Natalie was silent.Ms. Morgan?!Karina had probably already explained the relationships among those in Verde City to Wendy before leaving.But the way Wendy was behaving..."You...""Do you want to meet her? If not, I'll make her leave."Wendy's character was quite straightforward, but strangely, such a personality didn't make people dislike her.Natalie sighed and said, "Let her in.""Do you really want to see her?""What? Are you really thinking of chasing her away for me?" Natalie said as she glanced at Wendy.Wendy grumbled, "Isn't she acting all high and mighty? Why doesn't she know her place? How dare she come here to see you?"Indeed, Isabella didn't know her place."Go ahead.""Yes, ma'am."Wendy left. In a few minutes, Isabella arrived.
