Chapter 390 Never Doubt His Sincerity
Yandel thought Natalie would first deny everything and then respond with an indignant glare. Surprisingly, she just took a sip of tea and smiled.
“I’m just analyzing this person objectively, but if you think I’m showing off, then so be it!”
At the hot spring resort, Samuel had sucked the venom from her wound risking being poisoned.
It was such a selfless act and there was no doubt about his sincerity.
Yandel exchanged glances with Ross each knowing what the other was thinking.
Both of them wanted the best for Natalie but they felt sad that their leader’s heart belong to Samuel now.
Natalie put down the white jade teacup, narrowed her eyes and said, “Samuel is not the only Mr. Bowers, the one who invested in Dexmed Pharmaceutical should be the patriarch of the Bowers family. Every time I see the old man, Yara is always by his side. The Old Mr. Bowers must really be pleased with her company.”
Among the theories put forward, this seemed to be the most logical.
Natalie could not think of any other possibility.
“What is our next step, then?” Yandel asked.
“Retreat is the way forward.”
Natalie looked at Yandel and Ross, and said emphatically, “Giving money to people with virtue and talent is providing assistance, but giving money to the greedy will only swell his unsatiated appetite. Their avarice becomes escalated, and the consequences might be dreadful beyond imagination. The wealth that my grandfather amassed through hard work and tears was squandered and wasted by Thomas. This shows that he is a greedy spendthrift. Let him be rampant for the time being while Dream Corporation keeps a low profile, and the special drugs developed previously by Ross must also go through the necessary clinical trials to get the approval for marketing as soon as possible.”
Ross understood Natalie’s strategy and he nodded in agreement.
Yandel pointed at himself. “Boss, what about me?”
“Your assignment is even more important,” Natalie tapped her chin with her finger and replied thoughtfully. “Hasn’t Melissa shown a romantic interest in you? She is waiting for you to visit the Nichols residence and ask for her hand in marriage.”
“Boss, do you really want me to go so far?”
“Don’t worry, you will not be required to sell your body.” The spark in Natalie’s eyes revealed that she already had a scheme. “You’re not the reason for the family feud. At best, you can only be a fuse. The family looks harmonious and stable from the outside but in fact, a feud has been brewing since a long time ago…”
It was indeed an extremely twisted family relationship which had raised a daughter, Yara to kill her own twin.
The Nichols family had enjoyed an extravagant and lavish lifestyle by squandering the hard-earned wealth of their Granddad.
After so many years of living a lavish and peaceful life, it was time they faced some challenges and hardship.
Natalie had been hesitant about using Melissa’s feelings for Yandel to their advantage. Then she realized that Melissa had actually tried to take advantage of Yandel’s wealth and with that thought in mind, she decided to turn the tables on her.
This did not involve Melissa’s genuine love for Yandel but just her greed for money and so she had no qualms about carrying out the plan.
After further discussion, each was clear about the part they had to play.
Only then did Natalie leave Dream Corporation.
Natalie arrived at the Bowers residence quite early. Strangely, she was not greeted by the four kids rushing out to hug her.
“Gavin, are their classes not over yet?” Natalie asked.
“The classes are over.” Gavin laughed. “The three boys and their sister have shut themselves up in their room. Besides, they have even instructed me to send dinner to their room because they want to study together and memorize some book called, ‘The Emperor’s Scriptures.’“
“Is it ‘The Esoteric Medical Doctrine?’“
“Yes, that’s right. It’s ‘The Esoteric Medical Doctrine.’“ Gavin nodded. “Just now when I sent dinner to them, I saw them studying the book. Their seriousness about memorizing it really moved me.”
Such complex words are difficult for adults to memorize, let alone five-year-old children?
Natalie was very touched but she refrained from expressing her feelings.
“Thank you for notifying me.”
Even though her heart ached for them, these were texts that had to be memorized by Sophia in order to be accepted as an apprentice.
Natalie did not want to change her decision lest the four children get the message that their parents do not keep their word.
Natalie’s appetite was not good and so, after a light dinner, she returned to her bedroom to rest.
In the afternoon, even though she had countermeasures planned out, she felt ill at ease as the opponents were the Nichols family.
Was it Kenneth who had aided Thomas in obtaining all of Granddad’s wealth?
Did someone else help Thomas?
Her mother had fled with her to the village and adopted different identities. At her death bed, she had given instructions that the past must be buried and it was sufficient for Natalie to live the rest of her life safe and sound.
However, she could not pretend to be ignorant.
Natalie was lost in thought. She was so deep in thought that she did not hear footsteps approaching her bed.
