Chapter 347 The Extra Child

Roland’s expression was ever–changing as he looked at Natalie.

Without directly answering Roland’s question, Natalie lifted her gaze to look at him, her eyes filled with

specks of starry laughter.

“What would happen if the Entes family finds out about Frederick? Wouldn’t you need to work hard and

fast to transfer that half of the documents?”

Roland was silent.

“Disregarding everything else about the Entes family, you have to admit that the one thing they don’t

lack is people. If every one of them were to keep an eye out for Frederick, you wouldn’t be able to

transfer those documents even if you wanted to, right?”

Roland felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet!

Natalie’s cunning smile completely shattered all the threats and toughness in his mind.

She was too frightening.

If she really went to Wexford, it would undoubtedly lead to further chaos.

“Roland, how about we make a bet?”

“What are we betting on?”

“Let’s bet whether Lord Malcolm is more interested in Bianca’s whereabouts or that half of the

documents?”

“If there’s nothing else, Sis, I’ll be leaving.”

His words meant he refused to take that bet!

Natalie calmly said, “It’s Ms. Walker”

Yes, Ms. Walker!”

Natalie smiled.

Watching Roland walk away, the smile gradually disappeared from the corners of her mouth

How dare he threaten her?

Where did these people get the guts to threaten her whenever they pleased?!

Natalie effortlessly defused Irwin’s attempt to use her again. Neither Cedric nor Stephen would have

involved her in that chaotic situation.

With that done, the chaos in Wexford had nothing to do with Natalie for the time being.

That area was calm now.

However, the Entes family was causing her a headache.

Of course, since Natalie could repel Irwin, she could also handle the twists and turns with Malcolm

without any reservations.

She was not one to be trifled with.

She finally diverted Malcolm’s attention using the other half of the documents he had been looking for.

Though Irwin repeatedly used and threatened her, Natalie had no intention of selling him out, even

though they already let go of all pretenses!

However, when she learned that Irwin had trapped Stephen in Wexford, she sold out Frederick to

Malcolm without hesitation!

Her surroundings were now completely tranquil.

In this short time, Natalie quickly resolved the hidden dangers that Regal Horizons might face. She also

took control of the planning for most of Simeria’s projects in Stephen’s absence.

She continued doing so until a certain person appeared and disrupted her life.

When Natalie entered the building today, the gaze she received from everyone around her… made her

feel

like something was wrong!

Even Wendy was trembling.

“What’s going on?” Natalie asked coldly.

After being called out, Wendy Instantly broke into a cold sweat. Nervously, she said to Natalie, “You

should go to your office and take a look first.”

Natalie was silent at Wendy’s answer. She furrowed her brows and shot Wendy a fierce glare before

she

walked toward her office

She wanted to see what was so peculiar that morning that it made everyone uneasy.

Pushing open the office door and taking a look inside, she didn’t see anything different at first glance.

But upon closer inspection, she saw a child sitting on the sofa!

Seeing Natalie standing at the doorway. The people from the secretary department hurriedly focused

on

their work

Natalie frowned and turned back to survey everyone present.

“Whose child is this?”

No one answered.

Wendy stepped forward. “Ms. Walker.”

“What’s going on?” Natalie asked.

Although she didn’t harbor any hostility towards children, having such a big child in her office seemed

inappropriate.

Wendy led Natalie to the side, pulling the door closed. She then nervously looked at Natalie.

“Ms. Walker, are you sure you don’t have a child?”

No!

Natalie’s face darkened.

Seeing her expression change, Wendy felt a chill.

“I’m sorry! But the child insisted on meeting you!”

“Me?”

“Yes, and she also said…”

“What did she say?”

She said you’re her mother!”

Natalie was speechless. She paled, and then gradually, her face reddened with anger. Her expression

changed multiple times as she tried to process what was happening!

was this the reason she felt something was off when she came to the company earlier? For the whole

everyone think of her as a scum woman who abandoned her daughter?

Natalie didn’t know how she made it back to her office.

The child who was just sleeping was now sitting up. She was vigilant and wary, and there was even a

hint of hostility in her gaze when she looked at Natalie.

Aside from the hostility in the child’s eyes, Natalie had to admit that the child was very beautiful.

“Who are you?” Natalie asked, trying to sound as gentle as possible.

Judging by the appearance, the child was around ten years old. The height seemed about right.

The little girl was well–dressed, holding a doll in her hands. Upon hearing Natalie’s question, she

lowered.

her head in grievance.

Natalie took a deep breath. “What’s your name?”

How did the girl get into this situation? Why was she making such a pitiful expression?

Recently, too many things have happened to Natalie. It wasn’t easy to distance herself from Wexford

and Malcolm.

Then, a child suddenly appeared, claiming to be her daughter.

No matter who it was, such a revelation would surely catch anyone off guard.

Especially Natalie…

After all, her current situation was far from simple. She wouldn’t know if this was just another plan to

trick

her!

The child took the lead, but what kind of chaotic situation would follow next?

“Speak up!”

The possibility that the child might be part of a plot to entrap her irritated Natalie, who had no patience

for the pitiful expression the child was

putting on.

Although she liked children, this was by no means a valid reason for someone to use a child against

her.

Perhaps Natalie had been too fierce in her questioning. As soon as she finished speaking, the child

stammered, “M-my name is Kayla Walker.”

Walker?

Her blood pressure skyrocketed!

Wendy gasped in shock upon hearing the child’s name from where she was standing behind Natalie.

Natalie’s tone grew even harsher. “Give me your bag.”

The little girl seemed genuinely frightened by Natalie’s tone and obediently handed over her small

backpack.

Natalie took it and attempted to open the zipper. However, the zipper got stuck in the fabric, and

Natalie’s

frustration grew.

Wendy noticed Natalie’s impatience and quickly stepped forward.

“Ms. Walker, let me do it!”

Although Natalie’s harsh attitude towards the child seemed cruel, facing a sudden morning visit from a

child claiming to be her daughter would make it difficult for anyone to remain calm–especially after

confirming that she had never given birth!

What else could this child be if not part of a scheme?

It was natural for Natalie to be in a bad mood.

So, before Natalie angrily threw the child out, Wendy cooperated as much as possible to help Natalie

figure out this situation.

After opening the backpack, Wendy handed it over to Natalie.

Natalie rummaged through the child’s belongings hastily and pulled out some identification documents.

Natalie had to admit that everything was well–organized.

Kayla was only a ten–year–old child but had already obtained an ID card and the other necessary

identification documents.
