Chapter 519 âYou went to Iridescent Show and achieved great success on behalf of W Marks,â Draco replied. âYou deserve this order.â Draco smiled faintly.
Perhaps due to his recovery, or to overuse, his voice was a little weak.
Natalie nodded obediently. âI will do my best,â she said. Still holding the document, Natalie smiled at Draco and said, âMr. Wesley, itâs time for you to go back and get some rest.â
She couldnât help but notice that Draco was looking a lot more haggard than heâd looked earlier.
âWait a minute!â interrupted Dalores. âMr. Wesley, why havenât I been delegated an order?â Looking around, Dalores had noticed that everyone had a project to work on but her.
She was confused. Over the past few days, Dracoâs attitude towards her had changed, indicating that perhaps he was willing to give her another chance.
So why hadnât she received a project now? It seemed incredibly unfair.
Draco looked at Dalores with disappointment in his eyes. Without further explanation, he announced that he was going home. âIâm quite tired from todayâs dealings,â he said.
Upon leaving, he left instructions for the personnel. âThe studioâs arrangements for Dalores havenât changed,â he said. âAfter her current project is complete, she neednât come back again.â
âHow is this possible? I am unable to believe this.â Daloresâs eyes widened in disbelief.
Natalie walked behind Draco, uninterested in paying Dalores any mind, and said, âYour luggage is still in my car, Mr. Wesley. Iâll drive you back.â
As she saw the two were about leaving, Dalores gritted her teeth and hurried towards Draco. âYou canât just leave! You were going to let me to return to W Marks. Why are you breaking your promise now?â
âStop this madwoman, Mesue,â Natalie instructed her b*odyguard.
Mesue grabbed Dalores by the arm and said, âPlease behave yourself, Miss. Otherwise, Iâd have to teach you a lesson.â
Dalores was hesitant. With a pitiful expression, she complained, âWhy are you doing this to me? Iâve been caring for you in the hospital for so many days, Draco. Donât you have a conscience?â
Dracoâs face went dark and he turned to glare at Dalores, âI hadnât planned to embarr@ssyou this way. But since you are fixed on making a scene, I donât have to be polite to you either.â
Dalores was in shock, and her mind was completely jumbled up. âWhat are you trying to say?â
With a sneer, Draco said, âYou no longer have to return here tomorrow. Hand in your project and leave W Marks immediately, today.â
Dalores fumed. She shot daggers at Natalie with her eyes and yelled, âNatalie said something to you, didnât she? Donât pay any attention to what this b*tch says. She doesnât like me thatâs why sheâs always looking for ways to purposely slander me.â
Natalie was speechless. She shook her head. Dalores was truly like a lunatic right now.
âDonât drag Natalieâs name. This has nothing to do with her. You should be aware of what you have done more than me.â Draco slowly explained, âI dialed Zuri while I was in the hospital and requested information on how Natalie was faring in Northcliffe. It was her first time attending a big show, I feared something might go wrong. Zuri then told me she called the studio before, and at that time someone here picked the call and said something to her, almost causing Natalie to not be able to enter the showâs site.â Draco recalled everything. âYouâre the person, Dalores.â
Dalores averted her eyes from his and denied, âDonât go proclaiming nonsense with no evidence. Iâm not the only designer at W Marks. Someone else could have done it.â Draco actually stepped into his office and checked the surveillance video immediately after he arrived. Sternly, he said, âThe surveillance video is the evidence. Despite that your face was not clearly photographed where you answered the phone, you were the only one who passed by at that time. You have watched over me well in the hospital these past few days. I didnât plan to expose your crimes because of that. But at this point, youâre the one humiliating yourself. You canât blame others.â
The W Marks designers couldnât believe their ears! âWhat a remorseless person! How could she continue to remain at W Marks after doing such a thing?â
âBack then, she was not such a simple person. She deserves this now.â
Dalores grew more ashamed as she heard the words of the designers around her. She had no way of defending herself, so she remained silent, angrily gritting her teeth. As Dracoâs grew angrier, the more tired and stressed he looked. Natalie took notice of this and held Dracoâs arm. âNo need to waste your breath on someone like her. Come, Iâll take you home now.â She turned to Tasha and said, âPlease see to it that Dalores hands over all her projects and designs, Tasha.â
Tasha nodded her head. Natalie sighed heavily in relief. Then she and Mesue helped Draco out of the studio together.
Dalores slowly raised her eyes at this moment. She glared viciously at their backs as they left, developing another scheme.

ï¤Chapter 1329 Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ï¤Chapter 1187 Natalie and Draco sat in the backseat while Mesue drove. Draco leaned against the window to rest a bit after giving the address to Mesue. He looked rather haggard. He had just recovered from a terrible condition after all. As the car navigated the heavy traffic, Draco kept staring out the window.
Dalores had been with them when they made their way to the studio, so it had been inconvenient for Natalie to discuss what had happened on the plane. She decided to make her apologies now. âMr. Wesley... I want to apologize for getting you involved this time.â
Draco placed his elbow against the glasswindow, his side profile turned to her. âItâs all in the past now. Why bring it up again? I told you before you left for Northcliffe that you were not to blame.â
Natalie then changed the topic. âWith Jorge being dead, the investigation of the culprit was f0rced to put to an end.â
A chill flashed through Dracoâs eyes. âAre you saying the actual murderer would continue to cause harm to you?â Natalie let out a sigh. âJorgeâs death was definitely not part of their plan. From my guess, the culprit may lay low for a while. Still, I canât tell what the future holds.â After thinking a while, she went on, âI only fear it would bring trouble to W Marks, so I want to be honest with you.â Natalie then anxiously waited for Dracoâs response.
âDo you wish to leave W Marks?â Dracoâs expression was indifferent, as though he was just asking casually.
Natalie responded instantly, âOf course not. I like my job at W Marks and my colleagues.â
A smile formed on Dracoâs face. He adjusted his posture a little and said, âI hadnât expected that youâd have such a thrilling life. Youâre almost like a secret agent in the movie, with design being just a small part of your life.â He still had an indifferent expression, but his tone, however, was calm and gentle.
