Chapter 1039
Although everything seemed to be going smoothly, there were lurking dangers.
Natalie had to work during the day and studied ways to get rid of the poison in Samuel's body at night. After a few
days, Natalie looked even skinnier than before.
Although Samuel felt heartbroken, she was stubborn and wouldn't change her mind. As such, he could only stay by
her side and tried his best to prepare nutritious delicacies to nourish her body.
In the living room of the Leitz residence, Helma discussed her makeup for the upcoming banquet with her makeup
artist.
At that moment, Heidi happened to arrive home.
It was her first time coming home after going out for many days.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHelma shot her a cold glance and asked, “You didn't come home these few days. Where did you go? You didn't
bring shame to the Leitz family, did you?”
“Do you have to ask these questions? I mean, even Dad didn't ask me. I'll make arrangements for myself if I don't
come home.”
As Heidi spoke, she came closer and stopped beside Helma.
Somehow, Helma felt the conceited Heidi had begun to keep a low profile and stop being as arrogant.
With a wary look, she pursed her lips and looked at Heidi's reflection in the mirror.
After all, they pretended to get along well but never trusted each other since day one.
Surprisingly, Heidi wasn't as snarky as before. She gently wiped the creases on Helma's shoulder and turned her
gaze toward the makeup artist. “Are you going to put on makeup for Helma? You know very well what kind of
banquet she is attending. Therefore, please make sure she will steal the show.”
The makeup artist nodded and replied, “Understood.”
Helma frowned and looked at Heidi in bewilderment. “Heidi, you...”
Heidi pressed her shoulders and flashed her a smile. “Helma, even though you and I don't share the same mom, we
are still from the Leitz family. As such, we share the glory and the humiliation. I surely hope Prince Jonathan will
choose you as his wife. If that happens, the Leitz family and I will have a better future.”
“Is that so?” Helma asked tentatively.
Heidi pledged her loyalty. “Helma, you're the family's legitimate child, yet I'm not. Our statuses in the family are
decided since we were born. Hence, there is no need for us to fight for anything. I sincerely hope that you can
become the prince's wife. When that happens, I might benefit from it and have a better future.”
Since Heidi sounded submissive, Helma was delighted and flashed her a smile.
“Heidi, I'm glad that you think that way.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHeidi responded, “Helma, I'm sorry for causing trouble to you. I was immature back then.”
During the days of recuperation, Heidi had thought about it thoroughly. She knew that her attitude would only push
the Leitz family away from her.
Now, she had to depend on Helma and Geert to grow stronger. By then, she would be in the position to retrieve
everything that Natalie owed her.
Natalie! Just wait!
Miles away, two persons visited Natalie and Samuel—their master Malcolm and Luna, who had just returned from
her mission to look for Jorden.
Luna had no idea how she ought to face Natalie when they met.
“Mrs. Nichols, I...” She wanted to kneel before Natalie upon seeing her.
Natalie quickly helped Luna up and said, “Luna, it's been a long time since we last met. Why are you doing this?”
Luna shook her head and said in frustration, “Mr. Samuel kept the secret from you for a reason. However, I was an
accomplice in lying to you with him. Hence, I have to apologize to you.”
