Chapter 349
Embarrassed, she picked up the glass on the table and took a sip of water to calm herself down.
This man was different from what she had imagined.
Even though he was just sitting there, he had an overwhelming aura about him.
The delicate and beautiful woman next to him, on the other hand, looked very approachable and even a little familiar.
Tasha couldn’t help but steal a few more glances at her.
Just then, the woman looked at her, and the two‘s eyes met.
Tilting her head to the side curiously, Natalie asked with a smile, “Don’t you remember me? We studied at the same university.”
Tasha put down the glass and shook her head in surprise.
“Mrs.Larson, did you also major in fashion design?” Such a beautiful woman should‘ve been one of the campus belles.
Why didn’t she remember her at all? Natalie chuckled.
“We joined the same design competition, remember? Well, my name at the time was Natalie Quinn.Do you remember?” As Tasha stared at the smiling face of the woman in front of her, the memory of the innocent young girl gradually surfaced in her mind.
“You‘ve changed!” Tasha smiled in pleasant surprise.
What a small world! How could she have forgotten about the Natalie Quinn? At the time, Natalie‘s knack for fashion design had impressed her greatly.It was just that Natalie didn’t wear make–up back then.
Now she wore light makeup, but it made all the difference.
Tasha had seen clips of Natalie‘s and Brandon‘s wedding, but she hadn’t recognized her at all.
It could only be said that a woman living happily in love would really bloom.
And this was definitely true for Natalie.
Tasha sighed heavily.
“I never thought we‘d meet again, Natalie.You studied so hard back in the day, all the while balancing studies with a part–time job.Now, you‘re the wife of a big time CEO.Looks like all your hard work paid off!” She smiled bitterly, thinking that life was really unpredictable.”You married into the Klein family.Your husband is also rich and powerful.Isn’t that good?” Natalie tried to comfort her.
Tasha was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
Why did she envy her now?
“I…Well, to put it simply, I married the wrong person.Even if he‘s rich and powerful what does that matter if he‘s cold and heartless?” Tasha looked down sadly.
Natalie reached across the table and held Tasha‘s hand.
“Tasha, why‘d you come to us? Is there anything we can do for you?” Looking at Natalie‘s concerned expression, Tasha couldn’t help but burst into tears.
“Seth is a jerk.I‘m pregnant, but he forced me to divorce him.As if the divorce isn’t enough, he plans to take the baby away once it‘s born.” Natalie was shocked to hear that.
She had heard that Seth had a new girlfriend in Seacisco, but she had no idea that he also had a pregnant wife! She glanced at Sebastian and then turned to comfort Tasha.
She said through gritted teeth, “Seth has gone too far.You can’t give the child to him!” Tasha shook her head firmly.
“Don’t worry I‘ve thought it over and there‘s no way I‘ll let him raise my child.But I don’t have the power to fight him, and the Javis family is no longer what it used to be. That being said, I had no choice but to ask you guys for help.” Only then did Sebastian put down the menu.
He was not too surprised. He didn’t have many interactions with Seth before, but he knew for a fact that Seth was not as nice and gentle as he looked.
In fact, Seth was proud and conceited.
He had been regarded as the best heir of the younger generation in the Klein family ever since he was a child.He was sent abroad at the age of five or six, and as a result, he had never experienced the love of a parent.
Maybe it was because of this that he eventually decided to shut himself off.
In Sebastian‘s opinion, Seth was the most unfeeling person in the Klein family, bordering on psychopathic.
He was even crueler than Elissa and Ritchie, and his means were more ruthless than that of Patrick.
Sebastian looked at Tasha steadily and asked, “What are you planning to do?” Tasha looked at him and pleaded, “I wanted to cooperate with you to defeat Seth, but you have to promise me that in the end, I‘ll be able to escape the Klein family with my child.”
Sebastian‘s eyes were immediately drawn to Tasha‘s slightly bulging belly.
While he believed Tasha, he also knew that Seth was a cunning man.
There was no way he could be sure if this was a trap or not.
Frowning slightly, he figured he should tread lightly.
“If you really want to help me defeat Seth, then good.But what exactly can you do for me?” Sebastian leaned back and spoke in a businesslike manner.
“Seth has made a lot of money in Sugden over the past few years, but his hands are not so clean.His business is booming because of nasty, under–the–table deals.Unlike Elissa and Ritchie, Seth is good at hiding his true self–which only makes him more dangerous.When he encounters tricky problems, he pretends that he doesn’t care about them on the surface, but then he‘ll secretly deal with them by illegal means.” The more Tasha revealed, the more worked up she became.
“Do you have any proof?” Sebastian looked at her sharply.
Tasha paused hesitantly.
Most of what she said was just speculation.She didn’t have any substantial evidence now.
Sebastian read her mind.
As a cautious man, Seth was likely to cover his trail.
If Tasha really had evidence, she could‘ve negotiated with him by herself.
Why would she come to the Larson Group for help? “You want my help, but you can offer nothing useful to me. I don’t like to engage in risky business. While I do feel sorry for your miserable marriage, there‘s nothing I can do about it. I think what you need is a good lawyer, not me.” Sebastian was a businessman after all.
If he was the kind of person who helped anyone in need, he‘d be running a charity instead of a business.
Tasha bit her lip anxiously.
“I don’t have dirt on Seth now, but I can dig around.Now that Seth has dropped his guard against me, I‘m sure I can get my hands on some of his dirty secrets. Besides, I‘m still a Mrs.Klein; if anything happens, I‘ll be the first to know.” Natalie quietly listened to their exchange. It wasn’t appropriate for her to side with Tasha.
Sebastian wanted to take the Klein family down for good, and this was something he had been preparing for years.
He just couldn’t afford to make mistakes.
Sebastian thought that this cooperation was a huge risk, but perhaps it was a risk was worth taking.
What Tasha said made sense.
She could be a spy in the Klein family and keep an eye on Seth for him at all times.
Of course, he still had to be careful.
Sebastian took out a business card from his suit pocket, wrote down his number on the back, and handed it to Tasha.
“This is my other phone number. If you find anything, just call this number. Remember to delete all traces of communication between us. Seth is very smart. If he catches on, it won’t affect my plan, but he won’t let you off that easily.” Tasba took the business card from Sebastian and held it tightly, as if she was grasping at a life –saving straw.
Seeing that the negotiation had come to an end, Sebastian stood up and took Natalie‘s hand to leave. Before stepping out of the private room, Natalie looked over her shoulder and waved at Tasha.
