Mrs. Kennedy left in utter disappointment and anger.Natalie stood in front of Leah, looking down upon her. She said disappointedly, "Leah, you'll regret it. Your mother and father love you so much. The husband they find for you will surely not be from any ordinary family. You are their daughter. Why would they hurt you? You don't understand their sacrifice—""Natalie, when your parents urged you to get married, not once have I persuaded you to listen to them. You don't like other people interfering in your life, yet you want me to listen to my family and marry a man that I don't like?" Leah retorted.Natalie's lips moved a little before saying, "Although it's cheap talking about money, in this society, you can't do anything without money. If I were you, I would not go against my parents' orders. If you don't have the capability of earning much, then you should find a rich family where you can enjoy—""Natalie, I know I'm bad. I'm not as capable as you. I'm not cut out to earn big
"What is it?""Shares to the Sterling Group."Leah was speechless."Although it is not much, it is enough for me to be financially independent for the rest of my life." George immediately regretted his actions, and he wondered why he had offered someone he barely knew the shares. Why did he spill his secrets to her?"Why are you not saying anything?"Leah blushed unnaturally, "George, I never thought that bodyguards like you earn so much. The rich friends around me might not be doing as well as you."The Sterling Group's shares were very valuable.Apart from giving George some company shares, Elliot also paid George a considerable sum and that meant that he trusted George. In the future, if George had any trouble, he will surely help him."An ordinary bodyguard's pay is so-so. My pay is high because Mr. Foster is rich. Also, he is a very sentimental person. He pays attention to who is loyal or disloyal to him. If someone treats him nicely, he will repay them tenfold." George wa
While Leah was thinking about her next course of action Natalie was at her place. Natalie brought Mrs. Kennedy to her place to get her mother to talk to her.Mrs. Jennings held her younger sister's hand and said, "Don't be too sad. Natalie has never once listened to us when it came to marriage, too.""How could you compare them? Natalie is so great! If Leah is as great as Natalie, we would not be so worried about her. Even if she hadn't told us that she wanted to remain single for the rest of her life, we would not have cared!" Mrs. Kennedy said aggrievedly. "There seems to be something going on between her and the Fosters' bodyguard. You don't know how rough he was! He knew who I was, yet he still shoved me to the ground in public. If Leah dares marry him, I… I won't want to live anymore!""Aunt Betty, I'm not clear about the details of her relationship with the bodyguard. It might not be as serious as we think." Natalie saw how sad her aunt was, so she consoled her, "I don't thi
"What solution do you have?" Natalie raised her eyebrow. She was confused. "What is it, Mom? Are you hiding something from me?"Natalie was stunned because her mother was just an ordinary woman.After marrying her father, she had always been a housewife. She had never gone to work a single day in her life.Mrs. Jennings looked into the distance for a few seconds before nodding. "Natalie, I have indeed been hiding something from you. I only didn't tell you because you don't need to know about this, but if you're really in danger…"Natalie stopped her pacing and waited for her mother to finish her sentence."Natalie, have you heard of Dean Jennings before?" Mrs. Jennings was afraid that her daughter would not know who the man was, and she pushed on without waiting for a reply. "The owner of MediLove Pharmaceuticals."Natalie nodded and asked, "You know him? What is your relationship with him? Or… do I have a relationship with him?""Natalie, you're so smart. You immediately guesse
"She no longer has a fever, why is she still not awake yet?" Mike had been by her watching over her for more than an hour. He turned to the doctor, waiting for an answer.The doctor walked over to the side of the bed and lifted Avery's eyelids."Miss Tate is most probably… sleeping."Mike let out a sigh of relief. "Are you sure she isn't in any danger?"The doctor replied, "I can't guarantee it. Unless you get Miss Tate to do a detailed body checkup…"Avery was probably frightened by the doctor's words, so she opened her eyes."Miss Tate, you're up!" The doctor saw her waking up, and he immediately said, "I just gave you something for your fever. How are you feeling right now?"Avery looked at the doctor before looking at Mike."You were having a fever. I don't know why you were having a fever. The weather isn't cold at all!" Mike grumbled."Maybe it might be a bacterial or viral infection. It might not be due to the cold," the doctor said."Hmm. Thank you for coming. Let me
"After your shower, come out to have some oatmeal porridge. Then, go back to sleep after eating something," Mike said and headed for the door. "Don't close your room door. I want to be able to hear you if you fall. If there is no sound when you hit the ground then at least I can hear the falling of other objects and other sounds.""I'm not an idiot. How could I not make a sound when I fall?""When you passed out last night, there were no signs at all. Hayden was so frightened he wanted to send you to the hospital. I checked for breath, and it was still regular, which is only why we didn't send you to the hospital.""I guess Hayden must be scared to death.""How could he not? This morning, he refused to go to school. I had to force him," Mike said. "If he isn't going to school, the two of us will be watching over you by your bed. I think you're not sick or dying, yet the two of us are acting like you're not going to make it. It's a little silly."Avery took her clothes into the bat
Of course, Natalie did not want to die. She only thought that Avery would not be able to find out about her so quickly.One was because Avery was going to Bridgedale to deal with Wanda at that moment. Also, after she tricked Avery and Elliot into the underground cellar, someone interfered and kidnapped Elliot.Even if Avery was to investigate it, she would only investigate who kidnapped Elliot.After Natalie returned to her bedroom, Mrs. Jennings went to the guest room next door.She was distracted. She felt that the truth had created a bigger rift between her and her daughter. This was not what she had wanted. She could do without her husband, but she could not lose her daughter.Besides, Avery posed a danger to Natalie at that moment. She had to find a way to help Natalie.Just like before, when her daughter left to study abroad and found jobs after graduation. She had secretly helped her daughter.Only she understood the pain of her child.Although Dean Jennings lost a lot
"Dad, were you looking for me?" Sebastian closed the door behind him after he entered the office.Dean was sitting on the rotating leather chair. Looking at his son, he said, "Sebastian, you met with Avery already. How was it?""It's just like old schoolmates meeting up. Nothing much, but I feel she still looks down on me just like before," Sebastian complained. "This woman is direct. She never gives face to others while talking, but I do quite like her character.""Give me her contact. I want to let her have a look at your brother's illness," said Dean, revealing his reason for contacting his son. The amusement in Sebastian's eyes was instantly gone. "Dad, didn't you say Aunt Angela would help treat him?""Your Aunt Angela has other things to be busy about. She can't cope with your brother's illness for now," Dean said. "Give me Avery's number. I'll get my assistant to contact her."Dean was not discussing it with Sebastian. He was ordering his son. Sebastian did not dare to
