Chapter 591 Exploiting Natalie
Meanwhile, a man wearing a silver mask was stroking a blue-eyed Persian cat on his lap inside the manor.
Curled into a ball of fur, the cat lay quietly while the man ran his fingers over its head.
“King, Yara’s plan has failed. She could have shot Natalie dead, but her ego got the best of her. Just as you expected, Natalie is a difficult one to deal with. She seemed to have figured out that Melissa had taken YF-12, so she started to look into us. On top of that, Samuel, who has always been neutral, is helping Natalie with her investigation,” reported Gale personally after rushing back from Dellmoor on a plane.
Gale’s face immediately turned grim when he remembered whose fault it was that got them into that predicament. Yara just had to get videos of Natalie with other men. If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t be in this situation!
After listening to Gale, the man suddenly got on his feet.
When the Persian cat tried to jump off of him, he swiftly grabbed hold of it by the skin of its neck.
In pain, the cat frantically swiped its paws around, struggling to break free.
“If Yara and Natalie continue to go at each other like that, I’m sure Natalie will emerge victorious in the end,” stated the man with a smirk. “Natalie is no ordinary woman, so I don’t think we should treat her the way we treated Arnold. That would be a waste of talent because I know she has a lot of potentials. Instead of killing her off, we should exploit her.”
Even after listening to that, Gale seemed somewhat unconvinced. “I hear what you’re saying, King, but that doesn’t mean she’ll—”
“You’ve never been able to hold Loot, have you?”
“No,” replied Gale while shaking his head before King threw Loot, the Persian cat, in his way.
The white cat was trembling in fear because, for a while, it had trouble breathing.
Afraid that he might hurt King’s precious pet, Gale held on to the creature carefully.
Naturally, Loot was as obedient as it could be in the man’s tender embrace after it almost suffocated to death.
To Gale’s surprise, he was even able to pet the cat on the head. “How did you—”
“Don’t you see? How you manipulate someone is similar to how you do it to a cat. When people experience true desperation, you’ll be able to mold them like clay. Little by little, I’ll change Natalie to be exactly the person I want, and I don’t need a pawn like Yara to achieve that. Someday, I’ll get Natalie to carry out my will and cement my power in Loang,” explained King with a devious smile.
It was only then that Gale realized the man’s true intention.
After the explanation, Natalie and Ross started diving into their research and worked continuously for five days.
On the day of Jason’s birthday celebration, Natalie finally left the laboratory and changed into a light purple evening dress before heading to the garden party.
Natalie had asked Samuel to be her plus one, but the man had to attend an important meeting, so she ended up going alone.
As soon as Natalie reached the entrance to the garden, she bumped into the heavily pregnant Yana.
“Hey, Natalie!” greeted Yana, waving her hand.
“Yana! Hans!”
After hurrying over to Yana, Natalie questioned the woman’s husband, “Do you have any idea how cold it is outside right now? Why did you let Yana wait at the gate?”
“I tried to stop her, but she insisted on waiting for you here,” explained Hans helplessly.
