âSilly girl, you really shouldâve asked for more if you were going to lie to me.â
After laughing together, he couldnât help but wrap his arms around her tightly and kiss her sweet-smelling hair.
Brandon suddenly realized that his jealousyjust now was so unwarranted.
Draco was not a threat at all.He, on the other hand, had gone through so much with Natalie.He shouldâve trusted her more.
Now, he understood that the reason why Natalie was so worried about Draco was that she cared about W Marks Studio, her place of work.
At that moment, Brandon made up his mind to help them investigate the matter.
Natalie didnât know what was going on in Brandonâs mind, but she was happy with how their conversation turned out.
She held the credit card close to her heart and said, âTo celebrate my newfound wealth, I will take you out for a fancy dinner!â
The following day, Natalie went to work with dark circles under her eyes. Õ¼OÊEÊÖ Ê.CÖ Ê She had treated Brandon to a fancy meal last night, but unexpectedly, the night turned steamy.
When they got home, he had sex with her several times in a row, which had rid her of a good nightâs sleep.
When Natalie arrived at the office, she immediately looked for Draco, who didnât seem to be around.
Frowning, she asked Tasha, âHas Mr.Wesley come in yet?â
Handing out some documents to the designers, Tasha turned to look at Natalie and said, âMr.Wesley might be late.He said he was going to Mrs.Fullerâs house to apologize early this morning.â
Hearing this, Natalie felt incredibly uneasy.She nodded absentmindedly and sat down at her station, deep in thought.She couldnât focus on her work at all.
Elizabeth came to work today, looking extremely pale.lt seemed that she too didnât sleep well.
With two black circles under her eyes and slightly disheveled hair, she looked very haggard.
âElizabeth, are you not feeling well today?â Natalie asked worriedly when she saw the state of her friend.
Elizabeth took off her coat and put it on the chair, looking exhausted.She shook her head and said, âI got into a big fight with Jorge last night.Itâs over.We broke up.â
In her heart, Natalie was secretly happy to know that Elizabeth had broken things off with Jorge.She lowered her voice and asked in a hushed whisper, âDid Jorge hit you again?â
If that was the case, he had gone too far! Elizabeth smiled bitterly and shook her head.
âNo.Jorge did something unforgivable this time.Thatâs why we broke up.â
Natalie sighed and tried to console her friend.
âYouâre a beautiful and excellent woman, Elizabeth.Iâm sure youâll meet someone better.Oh, and since you didnât come to work yesterday, you might not know about what happened.Someone leaked the dress design we made for Mrs.Fuller, but we donât know who,â
Upon hearing this, all the color drained from Elizabethâs face.She seemed to want to say something, but she was too nervous to Say it.
In the end, she cleared her throat and said feebly, âNatalie, thereâs something I need to tell you But before she could finish her sentence, a loud noise came from the door.
âOh, no!â
Tasha rushed in and announced anxiously, âMrs.Fullerâs back!â
Natalie was stunned as well.She and Tasha immediately headed to the door of the studio to receive Mrs.Fuller.
Mrs.Fullerâs face was full of unmasked hostility.
And she didnât come alone.
Several reporters and cameramen were right behind her..
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people filed into the studio.
âThatâs her! Sheâs the one who leaked the design of my dress!â
Mrs.Fuller pointed at Natalie angrily and shouted, âNatalie ruined the reputation of W Marks Studio and betrayed Draco Wesley.She doesnât deserve to be a designer at all!â
As soon as Mrs.Fuller gave the order, the cameramen and the reporters swarmed around Natalie.
âHow can you explain this matter? Is it you who divulged the design draft? Did you do it for money?â
âDoes Mr.Wesley know what youâve done?â
The reportersâ accusatory remarks caught Natalie off guard.She kept stepping back in a daze.
Luckily, her bodyguard leaped into action and stood firm in front of her, protecting her from the aggressive reporters.
Natalie raised her hand to block the dazzling camera flashes.She looked at Mrs.Fuller, who was standing behind the reporters,.and asked, âMrs.Fuller, didnât you agree to meet with Mr.Wesley today?â
Mrs.Fullerâs eyebrows shot up indignantly.
âWhatâs there to talk about? You admitted to Draco yesterday that you were the one who leaked the design. You thought you could get away with this because youâre the daughter of the White family, so you made Draco take the blame.Itâs most likely that Draco only agreed because of your family background.He might be scared of you, but Iâm not! Youâre just a witless young girl.How dare you play tricks with me? I hate this kind of thing the most!â
Natalie was perplexed.lt was true that she mentioned to Draco that she might be involved in the leak.
But she was sure that Draco wouldnât tell anyone about it, especially Mrs.Fuller.
So if not Draco, then who would blab to her?
âCut the bulIshit.Take your photos and videos already.Iâm going to call the police. The law will take care of this bitch.â
As she spoke, Mrs.Fuller made a big show of picking up her phone to call the police.
Suddenly, a manâs voice came from the door, âMrs.Fuller, please calm down.â
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice..
Aman showed up at the door to W Marks Studio.He was wearing a black windbreaker and a black and white striped suit.
Although Mrs.Fuller couldnât see his face clearly because he was standing against the light, she found his unruly temperament familiar...
She believed she had seen this man before, but she couldnât remember where, nor could she figure out who he was.
However, judging from the manâs imposing posture, he mustâve had a powerful background.
It was none other than Brandon.He strode in with four bodyguards following closely behind him.He glanced over his shoulder and ordered calmly, âGet all the reporters and cameramen out and close the doors.â
The reporters and cameramen exchanged wary glances as Brandonâs men drove them out of the studio.
Brandon wanted to keep those outsiders out so as to not cause a needless sensation.
âWho the fuck are you? This matter is none of your business!â
Mrs.Fuller was still fuming.She looked at the man in front of her with unmasked hostility.
Without answering, Brandon walked to the sofa in the studio and sat down as though he owned the place.He explained unhurriedly, âI am Brandon Larson of the Larson Group. Pleasure to meet you, Mrs.Fuller.â
Hearing that, Mrs.Fuller swallowed nervously and faltered.
The Larson Group was not to be trifled with.
No wonder she felt that this man looked familiar.
She might have seen him before from a distance at a banquet or something.
Brandon was a low-key person and he seldom showed up on TV and newspapers.
Thus Mrs.Fuller had no idea what he looked like.
But judging from this manâs temperament, she knew that he wasnât lying.
She forced a smile and asked, âWhat brings you here, Mr.Larson? Does the leak of W Marksâ design drafts have anything to do with the Larson Group?â
O Brandon examined his nails casually and took a glance at Natalie, whose head was lowered.
âItâs indeed related to Larson Group, in a way.Mrs.Fuller, why donât you listen to me first and then decide whether to call the police or not?â
She forced a smile and asked, âWhat brings you here, Mr.Larson? Does the leak of W Marksâ design drafts have anything to do with the Larson Group?â

âItâs indeed related to Larson Group, in a way.Mrs.Fuller, why donât you listen to me first and then decide whether to call the police or not?â
As he spoke, he nodded at the head of his bodyguards.
The latter took the hint.He brought out some documents and handed them to Mrs.Fuller..
Brandon continued, âI asked my men to investigate the whole thing last night. Aileen and the other people who bought the design draft all admitted that they had never had any contact with Natalie.â
Mrs.Fuller flipped through the document and sneered, âI know whatâs going on here. Youâre trying to make excuses for Natalie.â
âIâm not making any excuses for my wife.Iâm just interested in getting to the bottom of this matter.Mrs.Fuller, please read through the document carefully.lt doesnât matter if you still insist on calling the police.Of course, the Larson Group is more than ready to deal with this trifle matter, but I donât want to mar the relationship between us.â Brandon spoke in his usual casual tone, as though everything was under his control. Albeit dubious, Mrs.Fuller lowered her head and read the document carefully.
At first, she was very impatient, but when she got to the last few pages, her expression froze for a moment.
