Chapter 340
As time went on and the people kept following them, Ross began to feel unsettled despite how Natalie
assured him that it was no big deal.
“Are you really just gonna let them be?
“Yeah,” Natalie said, retracting her gaze. “I’ll take a nap, Ross. I’m a little tired.”
She rested her face on her hand and closed her eyes, dismissing the people behind their car.
Ross looked at her sleeping soundly from the rearview mirror. He found it funny that she could still be
at peace in this situation.
This was the first time he met someone who was able to hold her calm like this.
In hindsight, Ross had grown to respect Natalie more after working for her for so long. She was the one
who extended hope to him, pulled him out from his aimless life, and gave him a job at Dream
Pharmaceutical. If it were not for her, he would still be drinking and smoking, closing himself up in his
room like a useless person.
Because of this, he was grateful and protective of Natalie. He would readily put up a fight if anyone
crossed Natalie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Natalie knew that Yara had been keeping tabs on her, she stopped going to Dream. She
communicated her work either through phone or email.
Dream was an ambitious and promising company, but it still did not have a long history. Since it did not
have a legacy to fall back on, the company still lacks the substance to face its competitors head-on.
The Nichols were not Natalie’s real enemies. That family was already on the decline. Rather, Natalie
was trying to get to the person who caused her grandfather and her mother’s deaths. Their departures
were too sudden. Thomas and Yvonne were merely that person’s puppets, and Natalie would not have
known about it if she had not come across the letter when she was going through her mother’s stuff.
In the letter, her mother expressed her regret of falling in love with the wrong person. She warned
Natalie to be low profile with her medical knowledge and asked her to live a quiet life in the village.
Because of this letter, Natalie realized that their deaths were uncanny.
She sorted out everything after her mother’s passing and went to Dellmoor to look for the Nichols
family, but to her dismay, the family did not welcome her at all.
She did not have a good time with her family, and Dream was all she had. As such, she did not want to
reveal herself too early.
Since she did not go to Dream Corporation, she spent her time doing some research on dissection at
the Major Crimes Unit.
Effie was beyond to see Natalie. She followed her around, refusing to leave her alone. She was with
her at the cafeteria and was even reluctant to part ways with her after work.
“What do you feel like having, Boss?” she asked Natalie, flashing her a big smile. “I want to have a
meal with you.”
“You know what,” Natalie said, “your grandpa keeps asking me to introduce someone to you.”
“Oh, don’t bother,” Effie replied with her lips downturned. “He has nothing better to do. He keeps
insisting on setting me up with someone else. Of course, I wouldn’t be that reluctant if those men were
as good as you.”
Natalie smiled, shaking her head.
“Do you love me that much?”
“Of course!” Effie said without even thinking. “you should find yourself a man who admires you as much
as I do.”
“All right. I’ll tell Mr. Jones to look for someone just like me.”
Someo
“Thanks!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two chatted as they headed to a shopping mall for dinner.
Effie worked in the Forensic Department after she graduated. Given the nature of her work, she was
not very street smart. As such, she did not realize that a man was following them. Natalie, on the other
hand, noticed the man a long time ago. She felt he was getting a little too close, but she did not react.
After dinner, she wiped her mouth and told Effie she was going to the restroom.
When she was leaving, she saw the man following her. When he was about three meters away from
her, she slowed down intentionally. Her body was tense as she got ready to fight.
Suddenly, the man bumped into her from behind.
“I’m sorry!” he cried out, trying to help Natalie. “I’m in a rush. I hope you’re okay.”
“I’m fine. It’s okay.”
Although Natalie was partly to be blamed for this, the man’s attitude was polite.

“If you’ll excuse me,” the man said, leaving in a rush.
Natalie quickly checked everything in her pocket. To her surprise, she did not lose either her wallet or
her phone.
What is going on?Why is he following me then? He did not take my ID or anything else, so why did he
run into me on purpose?D*mn it!
She finally understood what Yara wanted.
