Chapter 593 Are You Not Cold
After clearing his throat, Jason voiced, “Thank you all for joining my birthday celebration. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce my goddaughter, Natalie. She’s the kindest and sweetest girl we’ve ever met, and she’s dear to our hearts. Even though she may not be related to us by blood, she’s undoubtedly our family.”
As soon as Jason was done talking, his guests showered him and his family with applause.
“I can tell that the Weisses adore this young woman.”
“Jason is a highly-respected man. This young woman should consider herself extremely lucky to be the man’s goddaughter.”
“Why does she look so familiar, though? I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before.”
“Oh, I know! She’s the chairperson of Dream Corporation!”
“You mean she’s the young woman who founded Dream Pharmaceutical? She’s incredible! I think the Weisses are the lucky ones if you ask me.”
Meanwhile, Rowan, the chairperson of Jackson Corporation, raised an eyebrow curiously somewhere in the crowd. “I wonder who will be the one to marry her. By doing that, not only can they get on the Weisses’ good side, but they’ll also be in control of Dream Corporation!”
Then, the man turned to scowl at Martin. “Instead of wasting your time on women who contribute nothing to your future, you should be courting someone like her. If you can marry her, I promise you that you’ll never have to work another day in your life!”
Rowan had six children with several women, but they were all daughters, except for Martin.
The Jackson family had doted on Martin since he was a child. Although he was terrible at his studies, his family paid a fortune to forge his credentials.
Still, Martin had no intention of bettering himself. Even after graduating, all he could think about at work was mingling with his female coworkers.
It even got to a point where the women at the workplace fought over him. The scuffle eventually ended in blood and resentment.
In spite of that, Rowan insisted that Martin would be the only heir to his fortune, for Martin was the only son he had.
Although his daughters were far more dependable than Martin, Rowan still refused to groom them.
Martin narrowed his eyes at Natalie after taking a gulp of his beer. “Are you serious, Dad? I’ll never have to work another day in my life?”
“Of course! I don’t care how many women you sleep with, but when it comes to marriage, she’s the kind you should go for.”
Martin licked his upper lip and smiled deviously. “You’ll have to excuse me for a while, Dad.”
“This is the Weisses’, so you better behave yourself!” reminded Rowan sternly.
“I know what I’m doing. Don’t worry.” After putting down his beer bottle, Martin left his father’s sight.
Jason brought nothing if not attention to Natalie when he made the introduction. Everybody wanted to get close to her so that they could establish a business relationship with Dream Corporation.
Surrounded by people she did not care about, Natalie quickly reached the limit of her patience after just a while.
Yana and Hans could immediately tell what was going on with Natalie, so they hurried over to her. “You must be tired. What don’t you let Hans and me handle the crowd while you go for some air?”
“Thank you, Yana.” With that, Natalie quickly turned around and walked out of the banquet hall.
A few tried to follow her, but Yana and Hans managed to stop them.
Standing in the garden and surrounded by nothing but plants, Natalie could finally breathe easy. It’s so much better out here. As expected, partying is not my thing.
Just when Natalie was stretching to relax, she heard a man’s voice. “It’s a little cold out here. Don’t you think so?”
