Chapter 26

Author: Bodhi Blossom
Rowan stood on the top floor of Grendale's tallest building. The stars twinkled in the night sky above him as he enjoyed a bird's-eye view of the city. He subconsciously stroked the red hair tie around his wrist, and his usually hard face softened.

His subordinate, Alan Wickman, stood some distance away. "Mr. Mattel, Ms. Spencer's surgery was a huge success. Per your instructions, I've given the family of the cornea donor a huge sum. I've also planted someone by Jason Pereira's side. There's no way he'll find Ms. Spencer."

Rowan pulled his sleeve over the hair tie and turned around. "We leave Grendale tomorrow."

Alan was taken aback. He asked, "We don't need to continue verifying his identity anymore?"

Rowan shot him a menacing look that was filled with ice. He didn't even need to say a word to make Alan feel daunted. "Do you know how to answer the old man?"

Alan shuddered in fright and immediately lowered his head. "Yes, sir."

Since Natalie's departure, Jason had isolated him

    Natalie held out her hand to show Frank. "She really is quite thick-skinned. Look. My palm is red now."Frank scrutinized it, looking so serious that it was almost as if this was a big deal. "Damn it! Mr. Rockwell's going to wallop me if he finds out about this. God knows how valuable your hands are!"Sienna's jaw dropped as she stared at Natalie in shock. Then, her gaze turned jealous. Frank had addressed Natalie so affectionately, and he'd mentioned Mossey. Didn't this mean Natalie was the last apprentice Mossey had taken on three months ago?So, this was her. She was the one standing in Sienna's path to success. Who the hell was she?Currently, all everyone in the art world knew was that Mossey had taken on a talented apprentice whom he doted on. However, she was a mysterious woman who'd yet to make any public appearances. No one had managed to find out anything about her.Sienna snorted. "So, you're the bitch who told Mossey to humiliate me three months ago."Natalie's gaze t

    Sienna cupped her face, her gaze filled with fury and disbelief as she stared at Natalie. "How dare you hit me, you bitch!"Natalie looked at her palm and smirked. "So what if I did? It's not like I need to make an appointment for that—I'm not organizing your funeral or anything. There's no need to go to such trouble.""Why, you—" Sienna was about to slap Natalie back when she saw a figure out of the corner of her eye.He was tall, and his expensive custom-made suit made him look debonair. His chiseled features were eye-catching and left an impression. She'd done her homework, so she knew he was the owner of Wings of Canvas, Frank Paxton.She instantly changed her plan and forced out a few tears as she headed toward Natalie. It was only when Sienna brushed past Natalie that the latter realized she wasn't the former's target.Sienna put on a pitiful act and looked at Frank tearfully. "Mr. Paxton, please chase this uncivilized and hysterical woman out. Her mere presence is an insult

    "Mom, do you think Wings of Canvas will work with me? What if they turn me down? I can't handle another rejection," Sienna said.For the past half a year, she'd been embroiled in the scandal of being a homewrecker. Everyone knew she'd gotten involved with a married man despite knowing he had a wife. Each time things started dying down, someone would bring it up again. This had led to the destruction of her reputation.Nothing had gone her way back in Dexia, so she'd finally taken Daphne's advice to go abroad and try to make a name for herself there.Daphne said pacifyingly, "When you're here, nothing else matters more than your skill. I've also asked around about Wings of Canvas—it's a renowned art gallery, and it only works with masters. "As long as you can sell your art here, the rumors in Dexia will automatically go away. You have to make the owner of this gallery agree to exhibit your paintings here, Sienna."Sienna nodded. She looked at the art on display and suddenly had a

    "Listen to me—it's your fault that Natalie has left, and you're the one who killed your child, not me! Don't even dream of pushing the blame on me! I won't let you do that!" Sienna was furious. She'd pinned her hopes on Jason helping her out of this mess, yet he'd tried to blame everything on her!She snorted and stormed off, leaving him alone in the empty room. His heart throbbed painfully—no amount of alcohol could numb him anymore. He looked around. Everything he saw reminded him of Natalie. Whether or not he had his eyes open, he could still see her.He felt like he was going to die of heartache. He missed her so, so much.In the end, Jason fixed his gaze on the glass container that wasn't far from him. He crawled to it in a panic and held it tightly like it was a treasure. It was his baby—his and Natalie's. It was the only thing she'd left for him.Tears streamed down his face. He'd always thought Natalie was no more than a tool to him. It was only after she'd left that he r

    Natalie couldn't help lamenting fate's cruelty. She was sorry that a life had been lost so young. At the same time, it solidified her resolve to continue living. Nothing in this world mattered when compared to life and death.The surgery lasted for a few hours. When Natalie was wheeled out of the operating theater, the lead surgeon said to Bella, "It was a huge success."Bella instantly burst into tears of joy. She threw her arms around Natalie and refused to let go. Benjamin heard her howling over a video call and panicked, thinking that the surgery had failed."What the hell are you crying about, Bella? How did the surgery go? Talk to me! Hey, stop crying for just a second, will you?" he shouted.Bella continued howling. "Shut the hell up, you idiot! Don't talk to me right now!"She and Benjamin had been on a video call while waiting for the surgery to be over, but he'd missed out on what the surgeon had said earlier because of the noise. All he knew was that Bella had burst int
