Chapter 171

작가: Bodhi Blossom
Rowan had apparently donated two buildings to Grendale Art College. That was all it took for Chuck to invite him to the anniversary celebration.

Natalie appeared thoughtful—not because she doubted the donation was real, but because it felt like they'd been bumping into each other a lot lately.

No matter where she went, somehow, he was always there.

They made their way toward the open-air stadium where the centennial celebration was being held. Their seats were in the front row and, coincidentally, right next to each other.

Natalie sat down, her thoughts scattered. She couldn't help but recall Benjamin's recent analysis. Her gaze drifted subtly toward Rowan beside her.

She had to admit, Rowan's appearance hit every note of her personal aesthetic. And it wasn't just his looks—his manner, the way he carried himself. He never came off as too much or too deliberate. He always struck the perfect balance.

That kind of man was dangerous.

Just then, Rowan turned, and their eyes almo

    Unshaken and composed, every word from Natalie rang out with clarity. In that moment, she stood on stage like a rose in a storm—resilient and unbreakable. No one could tear her down. The jeers from the crowd slowly faded. Her words had struck a chord, forcing everyone to think. But not everyone was ready to let go.Sienna's face twisted in agitation. She tried to seize back control. "She's just talking pretty! Don't fall for her smooth lies. She's just like her mother, vicious and manipulative. My father's ruined reputation, the collapse of Spencer Group, and even my near blindness are all her doing! Don't be fooled!" A cold, ironic smile curled Natalie's lips. "You've really mastered the art of lying, haven't you, Sienna? Wasn't it your father who destroyed his own name? No one forced him to cheat. And Spencer Group didn't fall because of me. It fell because of his phony charity schemes. That has nothing to do with me. "As for your eyesight… Do you dare go with me and get it

    The crowd fell into silence. All eyes turned toward the woman making her way confidently to the front—Sienna. Thick glasses sat heavily on her nose, evidence of her deteriorated eyesight, but it didn't stop her. She gripped the microphone with one hand, while the other flung handfuls of documents into the air.She stopped at the center of the stadium and pointed straight at Natalie, still standing on the stage. "Natalie is the illegitimate daughter of my father and a nanny. She wasn't just a mistress who knowingly destroyed someone else's family. She also swapped our lives and identities for 18 years!" Sienna continued, "Ten years ago, her mother was arrested and sent to prison. So tell me—what right does a woman like her with a criminal mother have to stand here and lecture us about success? This is a disgrace. It insults every decent person in this stadium." As she spoke, the papers she had scattered began to fall across the crowd—copies of prison records, DNA test results, al

    Several days later, Rowan's injury had mostly recovered. He stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, and he'd only just done up the last button on his shirt when Landon handed him the suit jacket.Rowan straightened his apparel while Landon reported dutifully beside him, "Mr. Mattel, word has it that Wayfarer Logistics is planning to sell 30% of the shares in Dejah Port. "Everyone in business is saying that for a female painter to venture into logistics is like shooting oneself in the foot. It'd be a miracle if she pulled off the business at all."Fastening his sapphire cufflinks, Rowan chuckled with faint, wicked amusement. "What a bunch of fools."Landon was baffled by this comment. "What do you mean by that, Mr. Mattel? If I may be so honest, it's already an incredible feat for Ms. Sutton to outbid Jason and secure Dejah Port. Her loan from Morgenstern Bank must come with a high interest rate."She must have overestimated herself to end up in such a predicament. Do we help h

    Natalie asked, "This woman begs for a living?"Landon thoughtfully opened the lunchbox and took out the layers one by one, answering, "Yes, that's right. She's an unfortunate lady who's got no parents or other family. Her legs are also disabled. "By the way, Mr. Mattel has a message for you—if you need his help with whatever you're going to do next, all you have to do is ask."Rowan had already done her enough favors. She couldn't bring herself to ask for more. "I'm good. I can handle the rest myself. Thank Mr. Mattel for me."Landon chuckled as he said, "No need to thank him, Ms. Sutton. He's happy to help."She gave him a wry look and said nothing.After wrapping up his task, Landon left, but not before telling Natalie that he'd drop by to collect the lunchbox some other day.Natalie finished the lunch Landon brought her. The food tasted amazing, though a little different from what she'd had at Tinswald the last time. She didn't dwell on it and polished off the food without r

    Rowan's answer caught Jason off guard.Jason didn't expect a guy like Rowan to have a lover. He felt bad for the poor woman who was unlucky enough to end up with the latter. With that in mind, he humored Rowan with a chuckle. "Sure."…Benjamin hailed a cab. He took the passenger seat while Bella and Natalie tucked into the backseat.Bella had leaned against Natalie and dozed off the moment they got into the car, but Natalie kept herself busy by texting Rowan. She asked him about his injury, and it wasn't until he reassured her that he was fine that she felt relieved.On another note, Rowan brought her good news. He'd found the person she asked him to look for, and the person fit her requirements, both in terms of their looks and demeanor.Natalie was delighted, and she couldn't suppress a smile as she wrote, "Thank you, Rowan."Rowan replied, "No need to be so formal, Ms. Sutton. I was merely repaying a favor."She put her phone away, feeling chipper. A few seconds later, her
