Chapter 702 Forget It
Yara clasped her hands together beneath her chin as she continued with a sneer, “You don’t have to look so surprised, Dad. I don’t hate you for what you’ve done. On the contrary, I’m actually grateful for all that you have done. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to get closer to Samuel!”
After taking a brief moment to calm himself down, “Thomas said, “Yara, Natalie doesn’t look like that person you showed me in the photographs…”
“Oh, she’s just wearing a mask, that’s all! She didn’t get disfigured from the fire, nor did she get plastic surgery done. We both still look exactly alike!” Yara replied nonchalantly.
Thomas slumped weakly against his chair and lost himself in deep thought.
I thought my daughter had died, only to find out five years later that she’s still alive… I never liked Natalie because she was raised by Jennie in the countryside. Her eyes resemble Jennie’s and Arnold’s more than Yara’s do. That look of determination and perseverance in her eyes never fails to remind me of what I’ve done to Jennie and Arnold back then… Who would’ve thought Natalie would make such a powerful comeback five years later? She became the chairwoman of Dream Corporation, competed against Dexmed Pharmaceutical, and suppressed us greatly in the corporate world… It wasn’t until the incident got exposed that Dexmed Pharmaceutical was able to break free of Dream Corporation’s grasp. I can’t believe she turned out to be my daughter! If I manage to reunite with Natalie and use her like I’m using Yara, then I could own both Dream Corporation and Dexmed Pharmaceutical! By having the two companies collaborate with each other, I’ll be able to expand my business into other countries like Loang and Irethiel!
Although Thomas had kept those thoughts to himself, Yara could read his mind simply by observing his facial expressions.
“Why do you think Natalie has returned, Dad? She’s here to get revenge on us, not to reunite with you. Please get this through that thick skull of yours! If I’m able to figure out your intentions, then Natalie can surely do the same with that smart brain of hers!”
“I…” Thomas found himself at a loss for words all of a sudden.
“I’m telling you this because I want you to understand that Dream Corporation will always be our enemy. Any attempts to win her over will only result in disaster! King had you conduct tons of medical experiments over the years. Do you really think Natalie will let all of that slide? I was too young to understand what was going on when you got your hands on the Bayer family’s business. Now that I know someone like King exists, it’s easy to figure everything out. If she finds out about the stuff that King has been doing through Dexmed Pharmaceutical, she’s bound to throw a wrench into his plans! Are we even capable of taking responsibility for that?”
Yara’s words hit Thomas like a sledgehammer to the chest, and the two of them stared at each other in silence.
King’s influence extends far beyond Chanaea, and he is definitely capable of doing more than we have seen. Neither Yara nor I can afford to get on his bad side. I’ve seen what happened to the Bayer family when they went against him back then. Their lives were turned completely upside down after that!
“I understand.” Thomas nodded solemnly after giving it some thought.
“Okay. Next, we will have to up Dexmed Pharmaceutical’s advertising game and cause more trouble for Dream Corporation. We cannot afford to lower our guard until our nemesis is completely destroyed. Even if we have King’s help, Natalie has the Bowers family backing her up. It’s about time we wrap things up with Old Mr. Bowers.”
