The Jarvis family underwent earth-shattering changes! Stephen reappeared in the company, and anyone involved in the past naturally wouldn't be let off.In the Lotus Villa's flower gallery, Natalie observed the man sitting across from her. He exuded an air of nobility, towering at 1.85 meters tall.It had been two days. Whenever she caught sight of him, she would carefully scrutinize every detail. Now, she had finally accepted a fact.Clyde, apart from sharing an identical face with her, was different in every other way!"What are you looking at?" the man spoke, his tone naturally frosty and sharp.Natalie snapped back to reality. Looking at the man in front of her, she hesitated as she thought a little more before finally saying, "I'm wondering who was born first.""Me!" Clyde replied without hesitation."You?" Natalie asked."Yes.""How do you know?""Look at our heights!"Natalie's face instantly turned red.Height had always been her sore point over the years. She ha
A week later, Natalie received a call from the organization to which she had sent the sample.The person on the other end of the line said, "Ms. Conner, the test results are out. Samantha Conner isn't blood-related to you, but Christopher Conner has a very high genetic match with you, which indicates a blood relationship!"Natalie was silent.Upon hearing this, she felt somewhat stiff. Then she heard herself say, "Thank you."Considering the previous tampering, Natalie had used fake identity information this time before discreetly sending the sample. As expected, there had been some interference in the previous test!After hanging up the phone, Natalie immediately called Stephen. Currently, Stephen was back in the company, and there was another round of internal restructuring at Regal Horizons International. Not only that, but Stephen had suddenly returned to the position of chairman and was intervening in the company's affairs!He went as far as to reorganize the Wexford p
Turning around, Clyde returned to Stephen's office. Stephen observed Clyde holding the thermal container Natalie had carried."What did she say to you just now?" Clearly, Stephen had seen everything through the blinds.Thinking of the words Natalie had whispered in his ear just now, Clyde's expression darkened. "You guys found me, yet you don't believe me?"Stephen stiffened at his words, and then he sighed. Taking a deep breath, he spoke with some helplessness, "You need to understand her. She's been under a lot of pressure since she returned two years ago. Everything around her is unfamiliar, and she has become extremely cautious."Clyde furrowed his brows. After arriving in Simeria, he investigated every member of the Jarvis family, including Natalie. In Verde City, she had been like a caged bird. Cedric had taken care of her since college. She was a housewife who had struggled to stand on her own feet after being betrayed by her husband.The bitterness and pain invo
"Bia...!" Natalie's heart tightened at Bianca's reply."Enough, stop talking. Just hold me quietly, alright?" Bianca said, cutting off Natalie's words.The grip around Natalie's delicate waist tightened.Natalie held Bianca tightly.She knew Bianca was proud. Because of that, she wouldn't tell Natalie everything happening between her and Malcolm now.-Ultimately, Natalie didn't know how she left Orchid Pavilion. However, she called Malcolm and finally met him at Botanical Peak.Under the sunlight, the man dressed casually and demonstrated elegance in every move. He looked breathtaking.Natalie couldn't deny that since the first time she saw him, she felt that Heaven's favoritism towards him was simply unreasonable.The man elegantly handed the cue to a passing attendant and strode toward Natalie.There was an ambiguous smile on his lips as he said, "I thought you wouldn't have time to meddle in our affairs now."Undoubtedly, Malcolm already knew that Natalie had come from
Natalie didn't even spare Kayla a glance.Natalie had thought Isabella was her sister back then and that she was Kayla's only family left in the world. Even then, she hadn't spared the child a glance.Now that she knew the truth, it was even more unlikely she would bother with Kayla.The butler brought Kayla upstairs.When only Cedric and Natalie was left in the hall, the man's expression darkened. He said, "Can you be a bit nicer to her?"He was referring to Natalie's treatment of Kayla!He had seen the child's cautious gaze towards Natalie.Kayla was just a child. She shouldn't be treated this way if she were a stranger. However, Cedric was mistaken. If Kayla were truly a stranger, Natalie would probably be kind and warm to her.Because Kayla was Isabella's daughter, Natalie couldn't feel any closeness towards her."Return all of Caleb's projects to him!" She didn't respond to Cedric's words.Regarding the topic of Isabella, they had argued countless times before. Now
Cedric felt as if even his blood had turned to ice at Natalie's words.For a long, long time, he couldn't come back to his senses...When Kyle arrived, Natalie had already left. Looking at Cedric's troubled expression, he called out, "My lord?"Cedric regained a bit of composure, but his whole body continued to shiver involuntarily.At the moment he spoke, there was an unnoticeable heaviness and pain in his voice. "Tell me, what else can I do now other than forcing her?"Yes, what else could he do?She could smile at everyone in the world, but only cast a cold gaze at him. Even sharing a room with her had become a luxury.It seemed that, aside from forcefully keeping her by his side, he had no other choice!Cedric had never felt so powerless in his life. But now, regarding Natalie, he... truly had no solution.He loved her, yet he hurt her! But he couldn't let her go... even if he wished to be together, he could only use pain to keep her at his side.-Natalie's head w
Clearly, with Clyde back, this meant there was one more person to protect Natalie. It had to be said that Natalie's height was a factor in this. Previously, Heather and Stephen couldn't help but worry when looking at Natalie. Even though she could independently manage Regal Horizons International, they still lived in constant fear.With Clyde's return, it seemed like an additional reassurance for them. They felt that Clyde could still protect Natalie well even if they weren't around."She's not very stable yet," Natalie said, placing Luna on the ground. Watching the child lose balance for a moment, Natalie couldn't help but find her daughter adorable."She probably hasn't fully woken up yet," Heather said."Yeah." Hearing Heather's explanation, Natalie's gaze softened as she looked at her daughter.But there was also a sense of guilt in her heart. After all, she had been involved very little in Luna's growth."I need to go out for a while. I'll be back soon.""Make sure to
Natalie didn't know how she got back to Lotus Villa. Heather knew nothing, whether it was about Stephen or Clyde. They tacitly refrained from telling Heather what was happening outside, no matter how chaotic it might be."Mom.""Back already?" Seeing Natalie's relatively calm complexion, Heather felt relieved.Natalie nodded. "Yes."In reality, she was about to explode inside, but looking at Heather, who seemed oblivious to everything, she made a considerable effort to keep those emotions hidden.Heather glanced at her and said, "Go to the kitchen and check if everything for Luna is ready.""Sure." Natalie nodded and went inside.Now that Luna was already eating solid food, Heather took even more care in this aspect.After giving instructions in the kitchen, Natalie went to the study. Clyde was there."Dad's not here?""Yeah.""Is it serious?" Natalie approached Clyde, looking at him.Upon learning from the phone call that Cedric had actually interfered with Clyde's g
