Chapter 964 His Name Is Taboo
Natalie was speechless.
“Didn’t you see how he bundled you up just now? It was as if he was jealous that I was looking at you. You know what? He reminds me of Samuel.” Yandel didn’t realize Natalie was upset and continued talking, mentioning a name that he shouldn’t have.
Soon, Yandel realized he made a grave mistake. Samuel’s name was taboo. Thus, he shut his mouth immediately.
As he expected, Natalie’s face had darkened completely.
“I can see you’re very free. You have time for gossip even. Does this mean you’ve gotten Dream Jewelry out of trouble?” she interrogated. “Yvette already promised to give us three days to get to the bottom of this issue.”
You’re in deep trouble yourself and you still have the time to poke your nose into my business.
“Sorry. I’ll look into it right now.” Speaking, Yandel stopped making a funny face and resumed his calm and professional work attitude.
By that time, Lia had already come back with a fresh set of clothes and a towel.
Natalie felt a lot more comfortable in her new clothes after changing in the restroom.
When she went back to her office again, Yandel and Lia were already waiting for her.
“Is your leg okay, Ms. Nichols?”
Lia recalled how Natalie was injured on her left leg after she managed to sneak into the hospital yesterday.
“I had a few stitches, and the doctor gave me some medication. I’ll be okay after two to three days.”
Since Natalie did not want them to worry about her injury, she glossed it over and switched the topic, getting down to business.
“Lia, I need you to send the whole Rebirth collection for verification.”
“I already did that. We’ll get the results by tomorrow morning.” Lia nodded.
“That’s not enough.”
“Huh?” Yandel and Lia were surprised.
“If there were really allergens on Rebirth, then the others who had touched it should also have a reaction as well, but they didn’t. Those who had touched the product were perfectly fine, and Yvette was the only one who had an allergic reaction.”
Natalie’s statement hit the right nail on the head.
Now that Natalie pointed this out, Yandel and Lia realized this was indeed a point worth considering.
It was impossible that she had an allergic reaction simply because there was some chemical substance on the product.
If this were true, the make-up artists who had touched it before her would have suffered equally.
The staff would have stopped the shooting if they realized something went wrong. There was no way they would carry on with it and intentionally cause a drama like this.
Natalie drummed her fingers against the table as she thought hard. A hint of certainty glimmered in her eyes as time passed.
“I’m sure someone’s behind this, and their motive is clear as day. They want to kill Rebirth and Dream Jewelry in their infancy. Yvette must have been exposed to something like a hormone, else there’s no way she can develop such an instant and drastic reaction.”
Everyone listened in silence, waiting for what Natalie was going to say next.
Natalie continued after moments of silence, ”Whoever this person is, they overlooked the fact that I have medical skills. They thought Yvette would really be disfigured. Luckily things did not go as they planned, or Yvette and her fans would never forgive us.”
Natalie analyzed the situation accordingly. With just a few sentences, she figured out the culprit’s evil intentions thoroughly.
Yandel agreed with what she said, but the sheer thought of how everything unveiled gave him second-hard fear. “How can they be so cruel? They could’ve really stymied our survival in Loang if their plan worked out.”
What Yandel said was on point.
“Exactly,” Natalie added.
“Does this mean someone poisoned her? Because if that’s the case, only people who are close to her are capable of doing that,” Lia suggested, frowning.
“It must be,” Natalie said with a sigh, resting her cheek on her palm. “This means that she is unaware of what happened. She doesn’t know what chemical was used on her, and of course, she doesn’t know that’s the cause of the accident.”
