Chapter 630 How Did You Know
While the atmosphere in the hotel room was getting heated and filled with a sensual atmosphere, the Nichols family was in a state of chaos.
Thomas had a grim expression on his face while he paced around the living room in frustration, his brows tightly knitted.
“All rich families have scandals! Why is it that mine had blown up on the internet? Who on earth did it?” Instead of doing some self-reflection, the man blamed it all on the person who exposed him.
“Dad, someone must be targeting you.” Yara pressed her lips together and a cold glint flashed across her eyes. “It’s very clear that the other party is spreading rumors to get you and Dexmed Pharmaceutical into trouble so that they could benefit from it.”
“But who would do such things?”
“Obviously, it would be Dexmed Pharmaceutical’s current strongest competitor.” Yara ran her fingers through her wavy long hair and said confidently, “Just think, who would benefit most from the plunge in Dexmed Pharmaceutical’s stock prices and the internal conflict among the company’s higher-ups? It’s no doubt Dream. Perhaps, Dream has more tricks up their sleeve to deal with us.”
“Yandel that b*stard!” The next moment, Thomas thought of Natalie, who was behind Yandel, and said through gritted teeth, “There’s also Natalie! Yandel must have been acting under her instructions! How could she already be so evil at such a young age!”
Thomas could not help but sigh at the mention of Natalie.
“That woman has exactly the same name as your elder sister. If your sister did not die in that fire back then, she would be your age now…”
Knowing her father’s ambitions and greed, Yara was certain that the man was not truly missing his daughter. He merely felt that it was a huge pity that the Natalie they were dealing with at the moment wasn’t their Natalie. If she were his own daughter, not only would he be able to easily diffuse his current crisis, he would also be able to acquire Dream Corporation effortlessly.
Even though Yara knew the truth, she wasn’t intending to tell Thomas about it at all. On the other hand, she chose to remind her father of a crueller truth.
“Dad, if our Natalie is really the Chairman of Dream, do you really think she’ll help you and not rub salt onto your wound instead? Have you forgotten that when she was raped back then, not only did you not show her any concern, you had even chased her out of the family out of fear that she would tarnish the Nichols family’s and your reputations instead. Besides, since young, she had lived with Jennie in the countryside and is not close to you at all.”
After his bubbles were burst by Yara’s words, Thomas said, feeling pissed, “Natalie had already died in the fire five years back… How can that woman be Natalie? I… I’m just saying what if!”
“Dad, I only said that to make you realize that even if that woman is really your daughter and my sister, she would never be on our side.” Yara continued coldly, “Dad, King would never allow Dexmed Pharmaceutical to remain in this state for long. We need to retaliate and launch a counterattack on Dream. We need to get rid of that woman once and for all. Otherwise, there will never be peace for you and Dexmed Pharmaceutical…”
Thomas pondered over his daughter’s words and realized that it made perfect sense.
“Yara, you’re my good girl indeed!” Thomas continued emotionally, “I have been feeling so troubled by the news for the entire day, but your words have enlightened me. We can’t let anything hinder our cooperation with King. Since he can choose to support us, it would be equally easy for him to destroy us.”
The following day, Natalie was woken up by a call from Yandel.
With one hand blocking the sun that was shining at her face, she answered the call and put her phone to her ear.
“Hello…” she said in her morning voice.
“Boss, Dexmed Pharmaceutical has started to retaliate,” Yandel reported seriously. “Dexmed Pharmaceutical has issued a memo to clarify matters and their lawyer has also issued us a letter of demand. They have also attached Yvonne’s medical records to the memo, which states that she has been diagnosed with serious depression and anxiety disorder…”
Natalie interrupted Yandel and said, “Did Thomas also claim that he didn’t manage to clarify the rumors on the internet at first instance because he was still recovering from the pain of losing his daughter, in addition to the fact that his wife was seriously ill?”
After Yandel heard the woman’s words, he gaped in astonishment and exclaimed, “Fu*king unbelievable! Boss… how did you know?”
