Chapter 579

Auteur: Bodhi Blossom
Natalie called out from afar as she approached, "Gentlemen, what's got you all laughing so happily?"

At the sound of her voice, the three men turned their attention to her and moved forward.

Fred Zinger, the man who'd organized the meeting, stepped forward first. Walking in the center, he extended his hand toward Natalie and said, "We were just talking about your great deeds, Ms. Sutton. The more we talk, the more we realize you're practically a legend in Dexia."

It was just flattery and empty words wrapped in polite smiles, of course. Natalie wouldn't be such a fool as to take it seriously.

She was well aware of what they were thinking. Deep down, they believed women could never measure up to men and would never lower themselves to flatter her if there weren't profits to be gained.

Natalie smiled, seeing through the pretense yet not bothering to comment on it. "You're far too kind, Mr. Zinger. I've just been lucky, and if we're talking about real achievements, you're the one we s

    Pamela's nails dug so deep into her palm her knuckles blanched, but her eyes churned with a chaotic mix of bloodshot emotions. They contained hatred and a love so overwhelming they threatened to spill over.Her voice trembled with years of suppressed emotion. "It was you. You're the reason for everything, Rowan. I only ever loved you, but why would you ruin me?"She'd never wanted the baby and repeatedly tried to end the pregnancy. But with Rowan's help, Howard had locked her away on a remote island.That wasn't the worst of it. Rowan had given Howard a drug that, as long as she consumed it, would make her body lose every ounce of its strength and leave her bedridden.Though the drug wasn't harmful to the baby, it was devastating to Pamela when she couldn't even kill herself. She spent over half a year in such a state until she finally gave birth to a daughter. That was only when Howard took her away from the island.Even so, he had guards watching her around the clock and never

    Everyone exchanged glances. Rowan had once been the heir to the wealthiest Mattel family, and now that he was the wealthiest man himself, there was not much difference.Sitting to the side, Caleb Harrington broke the silence. He swirled the coffee in his cup, the rim tapping lightly against the saucer as he teased, "Ro has a wife now. What's Mattel Group to him? He doesn't even care."Another friend immediately chimed in and added, "Exactly. He isn't losing out anyway."Even after listening to everything, Rowan didn't feel offended. Instead, a soft light flickered in his eyes.He raised his hand and traced the plain diamond ring on his ring finger, repeatedly stroking it with his thumb. When he spoke, his voice was noticeably gentler than before, and even the corners of his brows carried unconcealed pride."My wife is exceptional. I'm counting on her to feed me for the rest of my life."His words seemed to stun everyone.Wasn't he making himself sound like a kept man? Though wit

    As Natalie spoke, she glanced at a man holding her phone in the back seat, who immediately caught on and said, "I recorded everything! His hand kept sliding over you and wouldn't move even after you warned him."Wesley's face drained of color. His fingers trembled where he clutched his twisted wrist, and he mumbled, "I didn't mean it. It was… a misunderstanding."Natalie's stare remained locked on him and didn't waver in the slightest. "You now have two options. First, immediately apologize to me, then call the ground staff. After we land, we'll go to the police station and file a report so you don't get to walk away from responsibility."Second, keep causing a scene, and I'll send the recording and security footage to my lawyer right now. In addition to sexual harassment, your little stunt demanding 100 thousand dollars counts as attempted extortion."The murmurs around them shifted into accusations directed at Wesley. Someone urged, "Just apologize already! How could you harass s

    Natalie softly chuckled. "What are you thinking? Why would I be against you firing your own secretary? I just came to check if Bethany was upset, but luckily, she seems fine."Victor nodded, then, as if a thought crossed his mind, he added, "Oh, and I'll swing by your place this morning to take you to the airport.""No need. Taking a cab is easy enough," she said, glancing at Bethany. "You should stay with Bethany. Since I won't be in Grendale for a couple of days, I've emailed you a few documents. Look them over when you have time."Smiling, she stood up and added, "Enjoy your lunch, and I won't bother you any further."And Bethany, bring the kids over sometime."After the door gently closed behind her, Bethany admiringly whispered, "Natalie's amazing, Victor. She can run such a huge company all by herself."Victor's voice was full of affection as he replied, "Natalie is impressive. She's a formidable presence in Grendale and even nationwide.""It'd be great if I could be like

    Shannon was furious. After all the years she'd worked her tail off, how could she be getting fired over something trivial?Besides, she didn't think it was her fault. It was the dumb Bethany who caused the trouble, so why was she the one getting fired?The more she dwelt on the idea, the more aggrieved she felt. So, she'd been staying outside Natalie's office and was determined to get an explanation.She began by saying, "Mr. Spencer brought Bethany over, and Bethany spilled hot chocolate over an important document. I merely pointed out how serious that was, and she started crying, so Mr. Spencer kicked me out without even hearing my side."Ms. Sutton, I've worked at RN Group for years. Even if he wants to fire me, it shouldn't be for this reason."Natalie didn't believe a word she said. "Are you telling the truth?"Under Natalie's icy gaze, Shannon grew nervous and lowered her eyes. "Ms. Sutton, I'm telling the truth…"Instead of responding immediately, Natalie locked her deep

    Victor's gaze turned cold in an instant.As he turned to look at Shannon, his tone when he spoke was calm but edged with frost. "Did you insult my wife?"Shannon froze as the smugness on her face vanished and was replaced by awkwardness and panic.She hadn't expected this reaction from him and definitely hadn't expected him to step in for Bethany, his dumb wife. "I-I was just joking with her," she stammered.Victor didn't even bother to look at her. Instead, he picked up the slice of strawberry cake from his desk and handed it to Bethany, switching back seamlessly to his gentle tone. "The cake's still fine and edible. You got startled, so have something sweet to calm down."As Bethany accepted the cake, her chest warmed with an aching relief. Her tears slowed. Victor grabbed a tissue and gently dabbed at the small splash of hot chocolate on the hem of her shirt in patient, meticulous actions. It was only when he'd cleaned her up that he finally looked up at Shannon.His tone
