Natalie was also watching the screen. She heard every single word the newscaster said.Henry and his father were pictured on the screen, along with a beautiful woman, who looked similar in age, and her family. Clearly, it was a meeting between the two families, and it seemed to have gone well.Was this what he had meant when he said he was heading out for work? Meeting the Browns? How was there any hope for this marriage if he was doing that?He kept saying that he did not want a divorce, but everything he did just deepened her resolve to leave him.Sheldon observed Natalie. Despite her best attempts to hide her emotions, he could see the hurt in her eyes.He looked at the yacht by the pier and said, "Let's take the yacht out. It'll make you feel better."Previously, Natalie was worried that it wasn't appropriate for her to go on a yacht with Sheldon, but she changed her mind. If Henry could meet another woman, she could enjoy herself on a yacht.Moreover, there was nothing betw
"Be careful!" Sheldon held Natalie's arm tightly as he urgently asked the staff, "What happened?" The yacht's crew members were clearly startled, too. They exclaimed, "We're not sure! We'll check right away!" They left swiftly to conduct the necessary checks. The intense shaking made Natalie uneasy. "Why is this happening … And why do I feel like the yacht is sinking?" Natalie swallowed nervously, filled with fear. She had to admit that she was terrified of death because there was a little life growing inside her belly. She had so much she wanted to do that she couldn't let anything bad happen to herself. Sheldon felt her anxiety but tried not to startle her further. He reassured, "Don't worry, the staff is checking. It might return to normal soon …" The yacht suddenly tilted to one side. Natalie fell over the railing. "Natalie!" Sheldon's heart skipped a beat as he quickly grabbed her hand. Holding her hand was challenging for him. Natalie hung outside the yacht. Half
"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be having dinner with the Brown family?" Natalie asked, pretending not to care. News about his dinner with the Brown family had spread, and rumors were circulating. However, it was just a misunderstanding. The whole thing was a setup by Cliff. After what happened, Henry planned to have a serious talk with him. But, of course, he didn't mention any of this to Natalie. Why would he bother explaining to her if she never took him seriously and lied to him? Henry approached her and looked down at her, asking, "Don't you have anything to explain to me?" "Explain what?" Natalie asked, unfazed."You said you were going out with Leslie, but you were actually out alone with Sheldon?" Henry questioned with a cold expression. His anger was written on his face.However, it all seemed extremely ridiculous to Natalie. She replied disdainfully, "You can dine with a wealthy young lady, but I can't go out with other men? Henry, isn't that a bit h
"After you fell into the sea, he risked his life to jump in and rescue you …" Amos' words made Natalie's heart tighten for a moment. "What? He jumped into the sea to save me?" Natalie asked, surprised. She couldn't imagine Henry risking everything to save her. When she saw him at the hospital, there was no sign of worry on his face.She even started questioning him immediately. Why …She thought the yacht company's staff had rescued her.Amos nodded, "Yes, you didn't know? After rescuing you, he immediately took you to the hospital and stayed by your side the entire time …"Amos had initially thought their relationship would improve after Henry did such a thing. But surprisingly, things stayed the same. After hearing this, Natalie remained restless for a long time.Her hands at her side clenched involuntarily. Why did Amos' description of Henry differ so much from what she had seen?Did Henry really do that for her? He was worried about her safety?In the end, she refrai
"Why don't we wait until tomorrow morning to discuss it, Mr. Chase …"But Amos couldn't stop him. Henry kicked open Cliff's door, his stern expression making others step back. Amos stood silent, sweating nervously, too afraid to say a word. The loud noise startled Cliff, who was already asleep. He sat up in bed, looking at the door with an alarmed expression. The moment he saw Henry, his face darkened, and he angrily said, "Are you crazy? What are you doing at this late hour?" "Who's the one acting crazy here, you or me?" Henry walked in expressionless, emanating frustration. "Mr. Chase Senior, I couldn't stop Mr. Chase …" Amos stood there, head hanging low, visibly guilty. Cliff rubbed his temples and gestured for Amos to leave the room. Amos closed the door quietly. The room fell into silence, and the atmosphere felt oddly suffocating. "Henry, did I give you permission to barge into my room like this?" Cliff frowned at Henry. Henry was really challenging Cliff. He
Juliet opened her eyes and immediately felt a sudden nervousness in her heart. Henry's intense, unreadable stare made her uneasy. "Henry, why would you ask that?" "You texted that guy, saying you did something stupid because you were upset with me, right? It sounds like you're blaming me for what happened?" Henry looked at her with a half-smile.Juliet quickly shook her head and stammered, "No, Henry, I didn't! How could I blame you …" "Regardless, keep this money," Henry said, tossing her a check.Juliet paused with tears in her eyes. "What's this for?" "That incident at the restaurant, caused by my brother, might have affected you emotionally. So, the medical bills and future recovery expenses will be covered by the Chase family," Henry said in a businesslike manner. Juliet suddenly felt a chill rush down her spine. She stared at the numbers on the check, feeling a pang in her chest. "Henry, do you think I did all this for the money?""I don't have time for this. I don't
"Sorry for the inconvenience," Sheldon stood up, looking apologetic. Unsure how to respond, Natalie shook her head and said, "No need to apologize to me. The one who needs to apologize is the person scheming against me behind my back." Her eyes grew colder as she spoke. Sheldon nodded, "Right, time to execute our plan." Glancing at the wall clock, he remarked, "Let's go. Time for the meeting.""Sure." Natalie gathered the files she needed for the meeting and followed Sheldon out of the office. Half an hour later, everyone focused on the big screen in the meeting room.Sheldon scanned the room and began, "To ensure fairness in the music center project, I'm leaving the decision to you. We received designs from 18 designers, and I've selected three that impressed me."He continued, "After showcasing these designs, I'll ask for a show of hands to decide. The design with the most votes will be in charge of the music center's design. Any objections?"From the smiles around the room
"Are you a designer from the Winrazor Group?" Lana asked cautiously. The woman didn't answer but eyed her with increased wariness.Lana approached her and grinned slyly, "Natalie bought your design, didn't she?" The woman seemed surprised that Lana knew but quickly denied it. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."Seeing her reaction, Lana grew more certain. "Stop pretending. How much did she pay you? I'll offer double! Just publicly expose this at the Creative Visions Competition!"The woman hesitated. Lana persisted, "I'll add more money! Will you do it? It's easy money. Just publicly accuse Natalie! How about it?"Still doubtful, the woman said, "No ... I promised her to keep it confidential." Lana smirked maliciously, "So, you admit she bought the design, right?" The woman nervously denied, "I didn't say that!"Blocking her path, Lana pressed, "How much did she pay you for it? I'll make this simple. I'll offer five times the price!" She handed the woman
