Chapter 397

Penulis: Bodhi Blossom
"Since you turned Micah down, he'll likely call me soon. Here's to a successful partnership, Ms. Sutton," Rowan said.

Natalie raised her glass of red wine, and they toasted.

Just then, his phone rang. From the look on his face, Natalie could easily tell who it was.

"Stephen, why aren't you back yet? Are you with that woman?" Pamela's tense and urgent voice spilled from the line.

Rowan instinctively glanced across the table, where Natalie watched him with unmistakable amusement.

Before he could respond, she made her move. Her stiletto brushed lightly against his ankle, then slowly glided higher up the edge of his pants. The teasing gesture hung in the air, thick with suggestion.

Rowan froze until Pamela's tone grew shriller. "Answer me! Are you with that bitch?"

He froze and lost all patience. "I'll be back soon. Get some rest."

With that, he ended the call.

Seeing this, Natalie straightened up in her seat, all teasing she'd had abruptly gone. "Is your fiancee upset?"

    Natalie was unfazed. "Ruthless or not, the result is what matters. Just do as I said.""As you wish," Landon replied.…In Yeruvia, as the acting CEO of Freehill Finances, Rowan was informed by the board that 10% of the company's shares had been sold.He couldn't understand why they would sell shares out of the blue, but later, he learned that there was a simple reason—the buyer had offered 20 times the market price for the 10% shares, with one peculiar condition that they would only hold it for three years.It was practically free money, so the board had no reason to refuse.Still, there was another stipulation. Freehill Finances had to establish a branch in Grendale, and Rowan was explicitly chosen to lead the expansion.Of course, Rowan wasn't aware of these conditions. Orders came down, and his duty was to obey.After returning home that evening, he told Pamela the news, and the smile drained from her face at the mention of the word "Grendale".She dropped the clothes in h

    Jason didn't flinch when the slap landed. His only reaction was the cold, venomous stare he fixed on Natalie before she struck again. "This is for what you owe Rowan."She was ready to strike him a third time when Jane rushed in. Just as she lifted a hand to shove Natalie away, several men in black stepped forward and swiftly surrounded them.Intimidated by the act, she braced herself to snap, emboldened by Jason's power, "Who do you think you are, Natalie? How dare you slap and humiliate him!"Natalie's cold eyes turned to her as she folded her arms. "I might've forgotten you were even here if you hadn't opened your mouth."Her imposing air sent Jane stepping back in fear. "Don't do anything crazy."She simply smiled before that smile vanished in an instant. "Get out."Jane shut her mouth at once and retreated to Jason's side, subdued.Natalie's venomous gaze swept over Jason's swollen cheeks before she said, "We have plenty of time, Jason. I told you that you'll pay back in

    "Did you miss me, Natalie? I've missed you terribly."A bloodthirsty smile played on Jason's lips. He looked even more sinister than he had three years ago.Memories of the betrayal and lies at the Misty Woods flashed in his mind, and his grin grew colder. "It's been three years, and I haven't forgotten you for a single second."Bella and Benjamin hated him with a passion.Before anyone could stop Benjamin, he lunged forward. No words were said as he landed a clean, brutal punch straight on Jason's face and spat, "Scumbag!"Benjamin had serious training. The punch was solid and swift, but before he could throw a second blow, Jason retaliated and knocked him off balance.Natalie quickly stepped in to hold him back. "Calm down and don't be reckless, Ben."Benjamin fumed. "I've had enough of this asshole! Calling him a scumbag is an insult to an actual scumbag!"Jason pressed his tongue against his cheek, casually wiping the blood from his mouth with a mocking grin.Now, he had a

    "It's her," Jane murmured.Jason's gaze burned intensely. It'd been three years since he'd last seen Natalie in person.Jane's jaw tightened as rage gleamed in her eyes. The memory of the night Natalie drove her out of Grendale three years ago came back in vivid detail. Overnight, she'd become the medical industry's disgrace."Lorc, she ruined me three years ago and drove me out of Grendale. Because of her, I lost my job and was forced to work in a nightclub far from home. You have to avenge me."Jason doted on Jane exceptionally well. Everyone knew that the heir of the Mattels had a woman he spoiled rotten, and many speculated that Jane would become the future lady of the Mattels. That was why she'd grown arrogant and untouchable, emboldened by that favoritism.As Jason stood in a shadowy corner, his eyes carried a deep gloom. He gave a slight smile and said, "Let's go say hello."Jane's face lit up in triumph, certain that he was about to avenge her. If she had a tail, it'd be

    Bella leaned forward with a nosy grin. "So, Natalie, what's the deal between you and Rowan?"The mention of that incident still dampened Natalie's mood. "He has a fiancée now, and I'm going to win him back."Benjamin nearly spat his drink across the table as his eyes widened at the words. "Damn, that's bold!"Natalie lifted her glass, the colored lights scattering across her pale face. "Bold? He was mine to begin with."Bella nodded along. "Exactly! He lost his memory, not his identity. The marriage certificate is real, the children are his, and you're the actual wife here. "I'm all in for that idea, but with both of you being countries apart… won't it be tough?"It was true that there was some distance between them, but Natalie already had a solution. She took another sip of the alcohol as her lips curled into a sly half-smile. "There's always a way. I was thinking…"After she laid out her plan, Bella and Benjamin both sat stunned and stared at her for a good while before exch

    Sensing Rowan's subtle movements, Natalie grew bolder. She deepened the kiss the way he used to kiss her, forceful and possessive.Gently resting her uninjured hand on his waist, she felt the strong, steady beat of his heart against her palm, reminding herself that he was alive. That was all that mattered, and nothing in the world could compare to that simple truth.Their passionate kiss came to a halt when Victor barged into the hotel room unannounced. Otherwise, who knew how long Natalie would have kept kissing Rowan?While she stood rooted to the ground, completely unfazed, Rowan's ears were flushed red.Victor's eyes darted between them, wide with shock that they nearly popped out of his head. For a moment, he wasn't sure whether to leave or stay.In the end, Rowan softly cleared his throat before turning to walk out without a word of farewell.After watching him leave, Natalie leisurely settled onto the bed as Victor scurried over. "What's the deal with Rowan? Has he no sham
