Chapter 1086 What Happened To Your Face
Billy never imagined Natalie would give him an order like that. “What about you, Mrs. Bowers? Don’t you need someone by your side?” His eyebrows furrowed. “Are you going to do things by yourself?”
“That’s right,” Natalie replied. “What about your safety?” “I’ll be fine as long as the smokescreen is done perfectly.” There was confidence in her voice. “But—” He opened his mouth, but was unsure of what to say.
Before Samuel left, Billy was ordered to take good care of Natalie. The latter had no idea what he should tell his employer if Natalie got hurt when he was playing along with the substitute.
“No buts.” Natalie cut him off. “This is my decision, Billy, and you are my subordinate. So, you will do as I say.” Staring at her determined look, Billy knew there was no point in trying to persuade her. Hence, he agreed, “Yes, Mrs. Bowers.”
After he left, she opened the safe Yandel specifically made for her and removed the box containing the jade key. Pulling out the jade key again, she held it in her hand and fiddled with it.
The jade key was milky white in color, but it had good transparency. When illuminated by sunlight, pink luster could be seen emanating from the key. The carving was abnormally exquisite while the key’s teeth profile was fine and complex.
It was just a key, yet it was made in such a magnificent manner. It would be natural for anyone to wonder what was being protected by a lock that could only be opened by a unique key like that.
In the past, Natalie had thought about that before. However, it was likely that whatever secret hiding behind the key was more valuable than she ever imagined if even Zophie and Blaze wanted it. She started searching for raw materials in the safe while thanking Yandel in her mind.
Raw jades never really interested her, but Yandel loved to find unprocessed gems for her. Not only that, Yandel would periodically renew the materials kept inside the safe. The relatively bad ones would be replaced by better ones.
Because the quality of the jades was great, Natalie was able to locate a white jade that was extremely superior in quality fairly quickly.
Even though the quality still wasn’t as great as the jade key, it was pretty close. Unless someone were to inspect it closely, they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
She proceeded to put the jade key and the white jade into the box.
Then, she spent some time putting on a disguise and the hyper-realistic mask she had prepared beforehand. When she was ready, she carried her computer bag and left Dream.
Meanwhile, after Anna tucked her child into bed, she massaged her shoulder as she descended the stairs, preparing to welcome Natalie. She received a call from Natalie saying that her arrival would be in ten minutes.
Soon after she arrived downstairs, she heard her doorbell ring. Swiftly, Anna approached the entrance and opened the door. She then uttered subconsciously, “Natalie, you—” Before she could finish her sentence, she cut herself off and swallowed the rest of her words.
That was because the woman standing in front of her with a computer bag had ordinary features with lots of freckles on her face.
While she wasn’t ugly, she still looked very different from the Natalie that Anna was familiar with. “Who are you? Why are you here?” Anna stared at the woman warily.
“Don’t you recognize me, Anna?” With a smile, the woman stared at Anna with clear eyes. It was a face unfamiliar to Anna.
However, she recognized the eyes. She felt as though she had seen those eyes before. There’s no one else but Natalie who would call my name in that tone. Then, a lightbulb flashed above her head as she said, “Natalie? How can it be you? Why did your face become like that?”
