“But I really have no idea how it got there.”
Natalie was becoming so anxious that she raised the volume of her voice.
Sebastian fell silent as he thought it over for a few seconds.
When he found out that Natalie was going to work for Draco, he had been jealous.But he knew that he couldn’t stand between her and her career just because he was jealous.
Now that he thought it over, there had been signs of Natalie having an affair with Draco early on.
Natalie was Draco’s new assistant, but Draco asked her to attend the Milan Fashion Week shortly after Natalie started working at W
Marks.
Sebastian was a little shocked when he learned about it, but he didn’t think too much about it at first.
Previously, Sebastian had never really had any problems in his relationship with Natalie.He had always had faith in her.
But now… Sebastian never expected that Natalie would actually have an affair with someone.She even refused to admit to it after she got caught in the act.
Anger surged from his chest.
“How can I trust your words if you couldn’t even give me a fair explanation?”
“Do you think I’m telling you lies?”
Natalie wasn’t about to give in at all.
“This is your phone.How can you not know what’s on it?”
The two of them went on to quarrel like this.
Glaring daggers at Sebastian, Natalie had a smear on her face.
In a fit of anger, she ran straight out of the room.She then slammed the door hard behind her.
Sebastian glanced over at the door, rubbed his aching temples, and proceeded to sit down on the sofa.He was very angry as well.
Even if he ran after Natalie, they would only continue to keep on arguing.
A sense of helplessness sent him reeling.
He tried to calm himself down for a few minutes and then turned to look out of the window at the night sky outside.
Finally, he picked up his coat and scarf from the sofa and hurried out of the house.It was still freezing cold in January.
Sebastian checked around the street, but he saw no traces of Natalie.
A sense of guilt overflowed from his heart.He shouldn’t have said all the things he had said.
Sebastian was concerned that Natalie might get hurt wandering on the streets on her own, so he gave her a call.He called her several times, but she never picked up.
After mulling it over in his head for a few seconds, he then called the White family residence.
A servant answered his call.
“Who is it?”
“Brandon Larson.”
“Mrs.White, it’s Mr.Larson calling.”
The servant shouted on the other side of the phone.
After that, he heard some footsteps and another woman answered the phone.
“What do you want?” Johanna said in an angry tone.
“Mrs.White, is Natalie there with you?” Sebastian asked in an anxious voice.
Johanna snorted rather impatiently and still seemed to be very angry.
“Yeah.What have you done to our Natalie? She locked herself in her room as soon as she arrived home and she wouldn’t say a damn thing!”
Johanna shouted aggressively into the phone.
“We had a tight just now.”
Sebastian was upset and didn’t want to get into it too much.
Johanna was at least pleased that Sebastian actually called the Whites’ residence so soon.She had also experienced such a thing before.
In the past, she had fought with Beal many times while she was in love with him and even after they got married.
As long as they could handle themselves well, it was not altogether a bad thing “Never mind, don’t worry about it.Just let Natalie stay here with us for a few days.I’ll go upstairs and check on her now.”
Johanna didn’t ask any more questions.She wanted to let them deal with the matter themselves first and if they couldn’t reconcile, she would help them out later.
After hanging up, Sebastian became calmer.
At least, Natalie wasn’t wandering the streets anymore and she was safe at home at the Whites now.
This proved to be a sleepless night for Sebastian.He tossed and turned the whole night while in bed.
Now that he had calmed down and thought it all over again, he felt that Natalie’s reaction at that time seemed to be genuine.
So someone had really set her up.
After all, as far as he knew about her, she was not cut out for a lair.
If she was discovered to have an affair, she would never react in such a firm and indignant manner in the first place.
Sebastian got up and turned on the light.
The room was lit up right away.He picked up his phone and looked at the anonymous message again.
So who sent that message to him? How could the person know Natalie’s phone password and the existence of a well-hidden secret album on her device? When Sebastian first saw the photo, he was so angry that he didn’t have the chance to think much about the details.
Now, when he thought back to this matter, he also felt that there were many suspicious things going on.
And how did this person have his phone number? The one who would do such a thing could only be one of Natalie’s colleagues.
Sebastian proceeded to give Garrett a call.
When Garrett picked up, he seemed angry once again.
“Brandon, your identity as mighty Mr.Larson has already been made public.Why can’t you fix your own problems by yourself?”
Sebastian had woken up Garrett in the middle of the night and his voice sounded extremely agitated as a result.
After all, he was the only successor of the Harding family with a high status.
However, when he worked for Sebastian, he felt that he became Sebastian’s slave.
Sebastian uttered in a casual voice, “I happen to be dealing with the business of the branch of the Larson Group in Barnes now.
You should have a lot of free time now, since the company’s main focus has been transferred to Barnes after all.”
