Chapter 82 Hoping For Her First Initiative

Natalie collected her thoughts and answered the phone with her back facing the mirror.

“It’s me, Boss.”

“Hey, Yandel. What’s up?” Natalie answered while gently massaging her swollen lips.

Yandel, who was always carefree, sounded unusually serious. “For the past week, Nichols family’s Dexmed Pharmaceutical has been poaching the researchers of Dream Pharmaceutical. Just today, three of them submitted their resignation letters to me.”

“I can’t believe Dexmed Pharmaceutical’s performance has declined so much after I left. And now, they’re even using dirty tricks, too.” Natalie’s eyes narrowed as she tapped her fingers on the marble countertop.

“Boss, should we…”

“There’s no need to take action. Thomas’ petty tricks pose no threat to me,” she sneered. “Dexmed Pharmaceutical is Granddad’s blood, sweat, and tears. Now that it’s been messed up, it’s going to need support. I can’t let Thomas and Yvonne bankrupt Granddad’s hard work before I take it back.”

As a matter of fact, the Nichols family was the reason Yandel was unsure of what to do. He knew he had to ask Natalie for her opinion.

Although he was not aware of what had exactly happened to Natalie five years ago, he doubted it was anything good.

Aside from Thomas, there was also another member of the Nichols family he had to mention.

“By the way, Yara is investigating you. She’s trying to dig something up to bring you down.”

“I’ve only met her once…”

“What? Does that mean-”

“No,” Natalie interrupted Yandel. “For her, I’ve died long ago in that fire. Even if she finds me familiar, she would never expect me to show up like this before her eyes.”

“But if she’s already investigating you, doesn’t that mean she’s suspecting you?”

After hearing Yandel’s words, Natalie doubted herself for a split second.

“Mr. Jones and Xavian can vouch for my identity, so it’s impossible for her to find out the truth.” Natalie’s eyes glinted as her voice turned cold. “But so what if she finds out? At most, the revenge would feel less exhilarating. That’s all.”

What a savage!

Yandel did not think Natalie was arrogant for saying that. He knew better than anyone that she had the right to behave the way she did. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

After Natalie hung up the call, she poured herself a glass of wine and sat by the window in her room.

The Nichols family was not only her enemy but also a scar in her heart.

Amidst her revenge taking, she also had to tear open her scars that had healed after all these years.

Good. Just when I thought I’d give them some more time to live, they came to me first.

Meanwhile, Samuel arrived back at the Bowers residence with Sophia and Franklin.

He was in a good mood after that kiss with Natalie. Even his indifferent eyes seemed unusually gentle.

That kiss… The only imperfection was that she didn’t kiss me back. What if one day, she becomes willing and even sits on my lap on her own? How great would that feel?

That thought alone made Samuel tug at his collar, his lips feeling dry.

Once he got off his car, he saw a woman wearing a white lace dress, standing in front of the gate.

When Yara saw Samuel, her impatience dissipated in an instant, and her eyes glimmered with joy.

“Samuel, you’re finally home.”

“Keep your voice down.” Samuel frowned. “Sophia and Franklin are asleep, and I don’t want to wake them up.”

Yara only nodded in response.

“Tell me. What are you doing here?” Samuel looked at Yara coldly with one hand in his pocket.
