Semua Bab Opening My Eyes to Reality: Bab 401 - Bab 410

Victor might want Rowan to be dragged off by some stray mutt, but Natalie wasn't ready to give up so easily on the latter."I can't possibly hand him over to some stray mutt after all that waiting just to have him back," Natalie said panickedly. "Tell him to come in, Victor. I need the chance to squeeze something out of him."Victor almost blacked out in frustration. He was utterly done with her. "I give up. I'm never getting involved in your mess with him again."Fuming, he stormed out of the ward, and Alec followed closely behind. As they passed Rowan, Victor shot him a glare, while Alec paused to speak."Nat wants to see you, Mr. Arnault. But she's injured and a little worked up right now, so I hope you'll do your best to satisfy her if she makes any unreasonable demands. After all, you're the reason for what happened to her."Rowan couldn't argue because that was the undeniable truth.When he pushed the door open and entered, the ward was cool from the air conditioning. Natal

As Natalie had said, Pamela had stolen her last three years spent with Rowan. If she had never run into Natalie forever, perhaps she could have stolen a lifetime. But now, the problem was that Natalie had found him.With Rowan's sharp mind, it was only a matter of time before he unraveled Pamela's lies. And when that happened, she'd completely lose him.Pamela, however, was not the type to accept defeat. She could bear never having him, but now that Rowan was her fiance, the pain of gaining and then losing him was more than she could bear.Her eyes were bloodshot as she uttered incoherently, "N-No…"When Rowan rushed in and stumbled upon the scene, he shouted, "Natalie! What are you doing?"Natalie slowly turned her head toward him and lifted her foot before he could approach. Pamela scrambled up from the floor and flung herself into his arms, tears spilling down her cheeks. "Stephen, I came to apologize to Ms. Sutton and begged her to let you go. I never thought she'd humilia

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

"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

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
