Chapter 281 Chaos
In the past two years, Natalie discovered a very serious issue–Heather’s temper was not as good as before.
Moreover, Heather was now extremely sensitive She could hardly control her emotions, especially when there was the slightest movement or disturbance around her.
It seemed like she was very nervous…!
“Yes! My vision has greatly improved under your care in the past two years, Aunt!” Natalie quickly added.
“You’re talking nonsense. Do you think I don’t know the condition of your b*dy?” Heather snapped.
“I’m not. I’m telling you the truth!”
“I’ve already fired Karina!” Heather exclaimed.
Natalie was speechless. At these words, her heart tightened. She could tell that Heather was genuinely upset this time.
Heather had never personally dismissed a company employee before.
However, this time…
Natalie hesitantly looked at Heather.
“Aunt, it’s actually my fault. Don’t blame the people around me!”
“If you know it’s your fault, be more careful next time!”
“Then, you-”
“Nat,” Stephen interrupted her Before Natalie could finish her sentence.
Natalie turned to Stephen, who gestured for her to stay silent. Natalie looked at Stephen and then at Heather.
She knew she couldn’t say anymore, especially when she saw Heather’s expression.
Moreover, it wouldn’t change the outcome.
In Heather’s mind, Karina was Natalie’s personal assistant. The fact that Karina didn’t stop this major incident was enough reason for Heather to take charge of the situation.
If Stephen hadn’t stopped her, Heather would have fired everyone by Natalie’s side!
Wat, don’t blame me for being ruthless. You have to understand that accidents can happen
“Yes, I understand.”
“Good. Don’t do anything that worries me in the future.” Heather said with a solemn tone.
No one knew how anxious Heather had been when she found out that Natalie had driven in yesterday’s Weather.
Even a person with normal vision would find driving unsafe in such stormy weather!
Although Natalie felt a bit wronged, hearing Heather’s concern and care made it impossible for her to blame the older woman.
Heather had been genuinely scared.
After breakfast, Natalie didn’t immediately go to the company. Instead, Stephen called her to his study.
Natalie and Stephen were the only ones in the study, and he looked at her seriously.
“Your aunt cares about you.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“I’ve transferred Karina to another branch. As long as she doesn’t appear before Heather, it’s fine.”
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief at his words.
Stephen said, “Your aunt has never interfered in the company’s affairs.”
Natalie was silent.
That was true!
Heather had never interfered before this.
It showed just how angry Heather was about yesterday’s incident. Thinking about Heather’s excessive protection and concern, Natalie wondered if moving out would be a good idea.
Perhaps it wouldn’t be easy to do so after all.
But in that case, how would Natalie find out anything about Bianca’s whereabouts?
“Uncle
“Yes?
there any news about Blanca?!
Natalie wasn’t the only one searching for Bianca. Stephen was also trying to find a way.
However, Bianca seemed to have vanished two years ago from Natalie’s world. No matter how hard they looked, there were no clues or leads.
They didn’t even know if she was alive or dead.
Two years ago, they searched for Bianca for six months without results. It was then they realized it was not a simple case of disappearance and reported it to the police.
But there was no news about her until this day.
Stephen sighed, obviously unsure of how to break the news to Natalie. Seeing her uncle’s expression, Natalie understood the likely outcome.
seemed that onl
At the moment, Cedric held information about Bianca.
“Nat, Bianca might have offended someone she shouldn’t have.”
“Yeah.” Natalie nodded.
She understood the implication behind Sptehen’s words.
It had been two years since Bianca went missing and her life now was up to fate.
In the past, Natalie never believed in fate.
However, she believed in everything since she woke up in the past and lived life again.
“Uncle.”
“What is it?”
“Starting tomorrow, I want to stay at the company.”
Natalie had thought about it and decided to inform Stephen first.
Stephen was stunned.
Considering how the company had recently secured several major projects and how hard she had been working, Natalie has had it rough recently.
However… living at the company?
“I don’t think your aunt will agree to it.”
That was Stephen’s first reaction.
And that was also what Natalie had anticipated. That was the reason she decided to talk to Stephen first
As you know, the company has been very busy lately, and there’s also a project we’re
That was the truth.
Because of this, she needed to handle it personally.
Stephen wasaware of this matter. However, even if it was busy, not coming back to Lotus Villa was a little…
“Did something happen to you recently?!”
Stephen was a sensitive person. Natalie suddenly proposing not to return and staying at the company at this time made him somewhat skeptical.
If they were talking about Natalie being busy, she had been in this state for the past two years.
And yet, she had never been like this.
Could it be because…?!
“There’s nothing wrong. Let’s just do it this way until everything in the company is settled, okay?”
“It’s unreasonable for you not to return home for that entire period!‘
Natalie had expected this. She knew her excuse wouldn’t work.
“I’ve already decided to do it,” Natalie said firmly.
Stephen was silent.
Did she just make the decision so decisively?
A deep and unreadable expression flickered in Stephen’s eyes. Eventually, he nodded without asking further.
“Fine, but make sure to take the medicine Lydia brings every day.”
“Otherwise, your aunt will worry.”
“Okay.” Natalie nodded.
She stood up and turned to leave. However, just as she reached the door, Stephen suddenly stopped her.
Nat
me distance from Irv for now.
At these words, Natalie shuddered.
She turned around and looked at Stephen in confusion, clearly not expecting him to make such
a request.
Stephen continued, “The situation in Simeria is not great right now. It might get chaotic soon, and I don’t want you getting involved in a mess.
Natalie was silent.
She knew what Stephen meant by chaos and had already sensed it.
After all, Regal Horizons International stood at a certain height in Simeria. So, it was easy to sense any changes in the country at such a height
“Okay.” After a moment of thought, she nodded to Stephen and left.
Once Stephen was left alone in the study, the man’s eyes became sharp and filled with endless
