"What?" Natalie Wheeler was surprised why Aneira had asked this question out of the blue. Aneira Mallon curled up the corner of her mouth, "Mr. Milton usually doesn't even want to talk to Avril. He doesn't even want to give her a glance. However, whenever he shows up, you'd show up too. Don't tell me you don't know him." Natalie understood and she smiled slightly, "It turns out that he and I have such a fate." "Don't you two know each other? If not, why did he give this cooperation to you?" Aneira said aggressively. "When I went to Stephen's island last time, Mr. Milton was also there. There was an accident and they all thought it was me who saved them. I think that's probably the reason why. Honestly, I just have lady luck on my side. Historically, many successful people have gotten to where they were with some degree of luck. I've always been quite lucky. If you cooperate with me, I believe you will be lucky too," Natalie said with a smile. "You do have
When Avril saw that there was no response from the people behind her, she turned around and looked at the picture. "What's going on?" she asked in horror. "The pirate was not smiling just now, why is he smiling now?" "This is a double-sided picture. Depending on the position you're at and the angle of view, different pictures could be seen," Natalie Wheeler explained. "Oh, I see. Jasper, I'm a little scared. Could you please take my hand?" Avril said to Jasper. Natalie chuckled. Jasper Milton pinched her waist and loosened his hand. Hearing Natalie's laughter, Avril asked, "What are you laughing at?" "Your mother is very cute," Natalie said meaningfully. "Are you sure? It's a shame that she does not have a companion even though she is so lovable. Let's keep going then," Avril said. All of a sudden, something fell from above and Avril screamed. Natalie was caught off guard. She was also scared and she took a step backward. Avri
"Do you think it was done by one person or two?" Jasper Milton asked. "Not less than two. They have to drug Avril and avoid the oil lamp from falling onto the ground. It can't be done by just one person. The person who locked the door didn't come in from the front door because the door was locked from outside. If the person who locked the door came in, that means that there are other passages in this castle." Natalie Wheeler walked to the fireplace and looked at the ashes inside, "Jasper, look." Jasper walked over and saw the drag marks on the ground, "I'll go up and take a look." He got in and retreated quickly. The oil splashed down from above, followed by a dozen pieces of lighted wood. When the wood came into contact with the oil, it lit up into a raging flame. Jasper took Natalie's hand and took three steps back. "Hit the door," Jasper said. He lifted the chair, walked out, and smashed it towards the door. One, two, three... the door was f
Natalie Wheeler looked into his starry eyes, as if she was being sucked in. Rationally, she should refuse, but her heart was being tugged in the opposite direction. She had always wanted to go on a trip with him, but she never had the chance. Could she go this time? The sentence, "There's no one there who knows you and me," hit the spot where she was most moved. "How long will we be there?" Natalie asked. Jasper smiled. "It's up to you. If you want to go longer, I'll accompany you for a few more days. If you want to come back, then I'll come back with you." These words put all her worries at ease. "Okay, then, let's not meet each other tonight to avoid other's suspicion. See you in Amsterdam," Natalie replied. Jasper lowered his head and kissed her on her lips deeply. The joy in his eyes was not hidden, he said softly, "See you there." After Jasper left, she checked out from the room and went back to pack up her luggage. Now t
Natalie Wheeler remembered the first time when she met Frederick Addington. He knew that she was a medical student, then he said that he knew all the directors of the hospitals in A City, and he could arrange a job for her. Natalie smiled, "You seem to have forgotten Sean's identity. It's easy for me to get a job. It's just that I want to rely on myself, so you don't have to worry about me." "So, are you not giving me a chance at all?" Frederick said disappointingly. "If I give you a chance, you will only be putting more effort into it. The more effort you put in, the more resentment you will have in the end. If you know that it's impossible, it's better to snuff out your affection as soon as possible. I want to go to the bathroom before the plane takes off. Is there anything else that you want to tell me, Mr. Addington?" Natalie asked politely. "Will I see you again in the future?" Frederick asked. "Since it's already impossible between us, then there's n
Natalie's eyes widened. Thinking that Frederick Addington was still behind them, she didn't have time to explain in detail. She wanted to take Jasper away immediately. Jasper Milton shook her hand off with a cold face. Natalie Wheeler was stunned. She knew that Jasper was angry, so she kept her head lowered and walked forward. Jasper gritted his teeth and held her arm. He then turned around and walked to the other side. There were two guards standing at the exit on the other side. Jasper handed his credentials to the guard. After scanning it, the guard let them in. Jasper didn't say anything after coming out from the exit. He grabbed her and continued to walk forward. Natalie saw that the corridor was pretty much empty, so she could roughly guess that this was the passage towards a private plane. He took her into the lounge and let go of her hand. He looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice, "Tell me why you came to Paris."
"So... did you come here today just to obliterate my final chance?" Allen's face darkened. "There is one more thing. I would still like to ask for your favor to help Eli. If you have any conditions, just tell me, and I will try my best to fulfill it," Natalie Wheeler raised her chin and said with determination. "What if I asked you to stay with me for a year?" Allen asked. Natalie was silent for a moment. Allen chuckled, "I'm joking. That's not something I would want to do, to force my dream girl to do something which she clearly doesn't want to do. Don't worry, I'll still help you without any conditions. I just hope that we could still be friends. I still remember you said that you were going to cook for me." Natalie looked at him gratefully. Allen rubbed her hair and said, "Actually, I've thought a lot over the past few days. I know the reason that you wanted to date me was not that you liked me. You have too many thoughts and misgivings and that m
Jasper Milton did not call her for the whole day. When she returned to the hotel arranged by Allen in the evening, she gave Jasper a call. "Hello," Natalie Wheeler spoke first. "Yes?" Jasper answered in a deep voice. "It is done," Natalie said. "Oh," Jasper just responded calmly. "Good night. See you in Amsterdam tomorrow." "Okay," Jasper then hung up the phone. Natalie had a strange feeling in her heart. It felt so heavy as if a stone was pressing down on her heart. She wanted to call Jasper again, but she didn't know what to say. She was never a good conversationalist after all. She put her mobile phone on the side table and went to the bathroom to take a bath. She thought of an article she had read before and felt that it was particularly useful. The article was about a man who wanted to return home after working for three years. Before he left, his boss gave him three pieces of advice. First, he should not sear
