Seeing as Natalie wasn’t responding, Dalores cleared her throat and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that? I was merely telling the truth.”
“Dalores, you’d better watch your mouth.”
Natalie really didn’t want to talk to Dalores, but she couldn’t bear to hear her slander Brandon like that. Brandon was nothing like how Dalores described him. He was a gentle and principled man.
“My husband will never stoop down to that level just to act against the Turner family. Besides, The Larson Group won’t attack the Turner Group for no apparent reason,” said Natalie.
Dalores fell silent and her face turned grim.She glanced at Natalie’s bodyguard nearby, and restrained herself, albeit annoyed and dissatisfied. She then turned to Tasha and asked, “Why haven’t you given me today’s drafts? Tasha! Did you even do any work?”
Tasha ran over, carrying the drafts in her hands.
After going back to her seat, Natalie tock out her phone and checked the news. She found out that Luke was indeed in the hospital.
Natalie then thought of Allie and what she had done. She gleaned that there must be a connection between the two incidents.
Natalie didn’t feel sorry for the Turners.
For everything Charis had done, she deserved her fate.
And her death had nothing to do with Brandon and Natalie.
In Natalie’s opinion, she had been kind enough to them.
Charis had done so many terrible things to her and Brandon.
Because of her dubious acts, Brandon lost two years of his memories.
Natalie vowed never to forgive Charis because of this matter alone.
Aside from that, Charis had attempted to kill Natalie many times, hoping to get Brandon for herself.
Had Natalie not found out about it in time, things could’ve gotten even worse.
Natalie rubbed her temples wearily.
Despite the fact that it was all in the past now, she still felt devastated by all the things Charis did.
After calming herself down, Natalie focused on her work again.She had almost finished designing Laney’s dress.She immediately
sent the draft to Laney to confirm if the latter was satisfied.
Pretty soon, she received a response.
“The dress looks amazing, Natalie.I’II show this to my mother-in-law and ask for her opinion!”
Based on Laney’s response, Natalie gathered that the former was feeling a lot better than before.IIt also seemed as though
Laney’s relationship with Mr.and Mrs.Harding was starting to get better.
“I’m glad you like it,” said Natalie, smiling with satisfaction.
“So, how’s life at the Harding household? If you’re ever feeling bored, you can hang out during weekends like we used to.”
As an outsider, there wasn’t much help that Natalie could offer, nor could she relate to Laney’s plight.
The only thing she could do was to keep her company in her time of need..
After sending the message, Natalie stood up and went to the break room to get some water.
When she passed by Elizabeth’s seat, she couldn’t help but take a look at it.
The seat was left empty, and all the items on her desk had been removed.
Seeing it so empty made Natalie feel so sad.
Even until now, she had no idea when Jorge would be caught.
Brandon had promised her that he’d find Jorge at all costs, so it probably wouldn’t be long until he caught him.
By then, Elizabeth could return.
Luckily, Natalie had stayed in touch with Elizabeth.
After the latter moved elsewhere, she sent Natalie her new address.
On a whim, Natalie returned to her own cubicle and searched the address given by Elizabeth.
Based on the map, it was quite near to the studio, so she decided to pay Elizabeth a visit after work.
Pretty soon, it was time to get off work.
Natalie got off work on time, but she didn’t intend to go home for the time being.
Instead, she took her bodyguard with her to Elizabeth’s new home.
The bodyguard disagreed with Natalie’s decision because she thought it would be dangerous for her to be running around the city.
However, she couldn’t dare to stop her.
“Mrs.Larson, Mr.Larson said that you should get home right after work.”
Ignoring her bodyguard’s reminder, Natalie quickened her pace.
At times, she felt that her bodyguard was merely keeping an eye on her for Brandon.
“Have you all been trained to say the same words in Shadow?” Natalie said, pretending to be angry.
Laney had said similar things to her before when she was still Natalie’s bodyguard.
The bodyguard was taken aback to see that Natalie was angry.
