The sound of a sports car echoed on the suburban highway, returning to Brooks's house.
"Natalie." Henry tapped the steering wheel lightly, smiling slightly: "Did I embarrass you today?"
Natalie leaned back in her seat, glanced at him, and calmly said, "It's okay, it's best not to let yourself be surrounded by celebrities, losing all manners."
She thought of Henry's embarrassed appearance when being dragged by those women, and the corner of her lips curled up into a smile.
Henry's expression immediately changed. He stepped on the gas and sped away. "Women are so scary."
"Huh?" Natalie snorted coldly.
"Except my sister." Henry quickly added.
Natalie was still dissatisfied, looking up at him: "Is there anything else?"
Henry vehemently refuted: "Zoe is your friend, but she is not a woman."
Natalie: "..."
Zoe, who was working overtime at the company, sneezed twice.
Natalie ignored him and looked out the window.
The charming autumn, the red leaves gradually dyed the road home red, so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off it.
She received a text message.
"Boss, the tourism development project for the special town has been unanimously approved by the board of directors."
Natalie's cold eyes finally warmed up, and she tapped the screen a few times and replied.
"Take it, go see Mark with me tomorrow."
The news quickly spread.
"The sky is clear."
Henry looked at her with fresh eyebrows, as if the dark clouds in the sky had finally dissipated, "Is there anything fun?"
The beautiful scenery outside the window flashed by, and Natalie hurriedly said, "Forget it, this little matter is almost over."
Henry patted the steering wheel, feeling extremely happy: "Our Natalie is the best."
The whole family knew that Natalie had her own business, but they never asked her for help and let her cause trouble. After all, their family was so big, she didn't lack money, and she could cause trouble.
---
The Brooks family's living room was brightly lit.
Nathaniel sat on the sofa, his face cold.
Henry walked into the living room, then immediately stepped back, grabbing Natalie, who was standing behind.
Natalie didn't understand, so she asked: "What's the matter?"
Henry made a booing gesture: "It seems like the eldest brother is very angry."
Natalie pushed him away and walked in: "Anyway, he can't be angry with me."
As soon as he saw Natalie, Nathaniel's eyebrows and eyes relaxed, and he asked warmly, "Natalie, are you hungry?"
Natalie nodded, and the kitchen immediately served food.
The two of them ate deliciously and chatted happily, calling Henry, who was playing in the living room.
"I heard Samuel also came to Logan's birthday party. Is there anything too much?" Nathaniel's voice became even colder as he spoke.
"No," Natalie replied softly.
Henry looked dissatisfied and immediately ran from the door into the room: "Yes. That brat Samuel squeezed Natalie's hand until it was red, and you still said no."
Nathaniel immediately stared at Natalie's white arm that still had a few faint red marks, then looked at Henry with an even more frightening gaze: "Henry, I told you to take good care of Natalie, but you're still like this. Is this you taking care of her?"
Not only did he let these two divorced people meet, but he also let them flirt in front of everyone.
Henry lowered his eyes, thinking of the girls blocking his way, his voice trembling as he said: "Big brother, I..."
"He already warned Samuel." Natalie took a sip of chicken soup, her stomach warmed up, and her complexion also improved a lot: "Big brother, I'm fine."
Nathaniel gave Henry another warning look before letting him go. "Bring me a basin of cold water." Nathaniel finished speaking, his eyes lingering on her arm.
Henry thought his brother was ordering him to run faster than the servants.
Nathaniel squeezed out a wet towel and applied it to the red wound: "Natalie, don't worry about the transportation route in the East, I'll arrange it myself."
Natalie smiled slightly, as if agreeing. She knew her brother didn't want her to see Samuel again, and she also had her own matters to deal with.
Samuel was nothing to her.
"Tomorrow I'll take you to a good place to relax." Nathaniel's voice was as deep as old wine, making people intoxicated.
Henry was eating alone, seemingly having a tendency to be left behind, strongly expressing his presence: "Brother, I want to go too."
Nathaniel turned to look at him; even without saying anything, he could feel the murderous aura.
Henry closed his mouth and obediently left.
Natalie's mood improved a lot. She softly replied: "Brother, I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't go out with my friends. How about letting Brother Tam go with me?"
"He's so handsome." Nathaniel snorted coldly.
Natalie couldn't help but laugh, yawned again, tears welling up in her eyes, "Brother, I'm sleepy."
Nathaniel wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, lovingly stroked her hair, and said, "Hurry up and go upstairs to take a shower and sleep. Be careful when you go out tomorrow."
Natalie made a greeting gesture in a daze: "Understood."

The land Natalie was looking for in the north of the city was one of the ten most beautiful tourist cities, and another traffic route had also been inaugurated this year. It would be a pity not to invest in such a unique place.
Her investment and development goal this time is to build an "industrial + cultural" urban complex with its own characteristics, industrial development, green ecology, and beautiful and livable.
The local people are also very cooperative with the project, and a few people have agreed to transfer the land after a long period of lobbying, but there are still some small problems with land use approval.
Natalie came here to solve this problem.
She is a mysterious figure in the group, and she rarely solves the problem directly. Of course, the most important thing is that the people she hired are all people with extraordinary abilities, so she doesn't need to worry.
This time, Mark encountered the ringleader.
"Minister Mark, this is the final plan proposed by our group. Please take a look." Natalie wore a casual suit, looking very elegant.
Although he was bald, everything he did was very serious. Minister Mark accepted the proposal, stared at the young Natalie, and said seriously, "Little girl, can I trust you?"
The muscular woman following Natalie suddenly turned cold and was about to rush into a fight when Natalie's hand stopped her.
She still kept a gentle smile, "As long as you don't think our plan is bad because I'm young, that's enough."
Minister Mark laughed heartily, "You are a person with temperament."
"I have found an expert for you. He has a wealth of experience in developing and building unique towns. If he finds this plan to be okay, I will sign the land purchase contract immediately."
Natalie said there was no problem, but what she didn't expect was that this expert was Samuel.
"Mr. Mark, you told me to come..." Samuel stopped, he reached out his hand, and was startled by Natalie, "Natalie?"
Natalie didn't turn around, but felt the cold autumn wind blowing straight into her face.She used to think he was brave, resourceful, and knowledgeable, but now he seemed to be blind, stupid, and vague."I wish you two a happy future." Natalie's voice was as cold as ice.She bent down from the car and quickly disappeared down the street."Boss, the man just now is...""Nothing." Natalie interrupted the assistant, looking unhappy, "Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked anymore.""Understood." The assistant was silent for a moment.Natalie looked at the scenery outside the window that was gradually disappearing, her eyes became gloomy, and then she took out her phone to call."Brother, where was the good place you mentioned yesterday? I suddenly want to go."The noisy sound on the other end of the line suddenly stopped. "Where are you now?"Natalie lazily fiddled with the file in her hand. She raised her eyes to look at the road sign, "Blackthorn Street.""Very good."The phone h
Natalie only wanted to say one thing: she was too obsessed with this enemy.But she still calmly reached out to him, "Hello, Mr. Morgan."They looked at each other with indifference and distance.However, Minister Mark saw the complexity between the two, took a sip of wine, then said meaningfully, "I think you two are already familiar with each other; no need for introductions, let's get straight to the point."Back then, Samuel and Natalie got married, although not everyone knew. Relatives, friends, and people in the upper class all knew that Minister Mark was a good friend of Mrs. Morgan, so of course, he knew them too.Natalie smiled shyly, "I'm so happy, the battle will end quickly."When she was about to take her hand back, Samuel reached out and grabbed her fingertips, his eyes sharp: "Hope your proposal can pass the test.""Mr. Morgan, you don't need to be polite. Just ask." Natalie raised her eyebrows, then took her hand away without a trace.Her body felt very weak, and when
The sound of a sports car echoed on the suburban highway, returning to Brooks's house."Natalie." Henry tapped the steering wheel lightly, smiling slightly: "Did I embarrass you today?"Natalie leaned back in her seat, glanced at him, and calmly said, "It's okay, it's best not to let yourself be surrounded by celebrities, losing all manners."She thought of Henry's embarrassed appearance when being dragged by those women, and the corner of her lips curled up into a smile.Henry's expression immediately changed.

Natalie smiled, her tone changed: "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Morgan."But she quickly moved her gaze away, not stopping at Samuel for another second.She tilted her head, smiled warmly at Logan behind her, and gently reached out her hand, saying, "Today is your birthday, how can I refuse your invitation?"Logan looked at the small, slender, soft hand in front of him, a little hesitant, but still hesitated to respond.Natalie urged in a low voice: "What's wrong? Logan."Logan's throat trembled, and his two hands were hot and slightly raised. The tall figure with his back turned to him seemed to have a strong pressure that made him unable to move any further: "I, I'm going to the bathroom."After speaking, he hurriedly left this place of right and wrong.Natalie shyly withdrew her hand, muttering, "Having a vicious heart but no courage," and the next second, her arm was grabbed by someone.Familiar force, familiar pain."Let go." Natalie's voice was cold, without any warmth.Sh
Natalie's emotional fluctuations were only one-tenth of Zoe's. She wore light makeup, but the gap between her eyebrows was still visible.She didn't pay attention to Samuel, and when she passed him, she just treated him as a passerby."Zoe, I'm tired." Natalie slowly walked forward.Zoe held the camera in one hand. She put her arm around her shoulder, "Then I'll take you home.""Yes." Natalie's voice was low, without any emotion.The drizzle was like silk, falling slowly."Master, are you just going to let her go like that?" Oliver held up a large black umbrella, asking a rare question.On both sides of the river, the sound of flowing water echoed.Samuel looked at her departing back, his thin lips tightly pursed, his cold, handsome face revealing incomprehensible emotions."No rush."---Henry was lying on the sofa, leisurely watching a racing video.In the video, after passing the obstacle at a perfect speed, the red racing car glided like lightning, rushed towards the sea, and then
Samuel looked around, the soft light shining on his tall and straight body, leaving a shadow."Which room is she in?" he asked in a low voice."The second living room on the left on the second floor." Mrs. Sophia turned around, retreating into the darkness where the wall lamp could not be seen."Aunt Sophia, go to bed first." After speaking, his thin lips pursed tightly.Samuel walked step by step upstairs. This villa was also very unfamiliar to him, because he had never cared about anything other than paying the land rent.After getting married, he rarely came here, except when his grandmother urged him.Turn the doorknob, and the room was empty, gloomy, and cold.Was it like this before when he came here?Samuel opened the window, and a gust of wind blew into his face. The early autumn wind should have been cool, but at this moment it made people shiver.But the view here was extremely good; you could see the flowers in the garden, and every movement of the guards.If Samuel thought
