Chapter 1140 One Casual Look Natalie bit her lip and stared at Demiâs back. She pulled her phone out of her pocket to give Billy a call. When the call was answered, she went straight to the topic. âItâs me, Billy. I need your help.â
Hearing Natalieâs voice, Billy perked up and replied, âGo on, Mrs. Bowers.â Natalie looked up and told him calmly, âI need you to help me follow someone. She should be heading to the lab with my hair to run a DNA test. Donât alert her. I just want to know who sheâs comparing my DNA with and the lab results.â
âWho is it?â âLady Cynthiaâs maid, Demi.â Natalie paused before adding, âThis concerns Loangâs royal family. I have yet to inform Samuel about this. Itâs important, so if you need me to tell himââ
âItâs fine,â Billy cut in. âMrs. Bowers, Mr. Bowers has said that we are to follow your orders like how we follow his orders without questioning anything. As subordinates, we only have to abide by orders and pledge our loyalty.â
They were talking on the phone, but Natalie felt warmth spread all over her heart. She said gratefully, âThank you, Billy.â âItâs my job.â
After the call ended, Natalie couldnât help but glance in the direction of the shop. Her gaze turned increasingly icy.
I suspect the friend Lady Cynthia mentioned is my birth mother, Jennie. Lady Cynthia was looking at me the same way Aunt Patricia looked at me. They might be looking at me, but they were actually reminiscing about someone else through my looks. Lady Cynthia mentioned her friend died in a fire over twenty years ago, but I was also supposed to die in the so-called âfireâ six years ago. Iâm alive and well. She took my hair when I wasnât noticing to run a DNA test, so she wants to find out if Iâm someoneâs daughter. Thatâs a good thing because I donât know who my birth father is. I may find out who he is through Lady Cynthiaâs lead.
If her birth father was still alive, Natalie wanted to ask him why he had slept with Jennie but dumped her after that. In the end, Jennie had no choice but to marry a b*stard like Thomas.
If he was in love with Jennie, she wanted to know why he left her easily and never tried to look for her. There were too many questions to ask.
Natalie had a strong feeling that the secret behind her identity was about to be revealed soon. Meanwhile, Helma had something related to work to report to Geert. She knocked on the door and entered the room.
âFather.â Geert looked up and praised, âHelma, youâre far more capable at work than I initially expected. You did a good job these few days. Iâm impressed by your achievements.â
Despite receiving her fatherâs praises, Helma didnât seem excited. She handed the file she was holding to Geert. âFather, if you acknowledge my ability, why donât you delegate more power to me? I believe I can show you more achievements that way.â
Geert pondered over the matter for a few moments and nodded solemnly. âOkay, Helma. Iâll give you the chance.â
âThank you, Father.â Helma knew her last step to frame Natalie was complete after Geert agreed to delegate his power to her.
Helma had once dreamed of marrying Bastien, but it was impossible for them to get together now.
After getting her heart broken, Helma could only resort to this way to take revenge on Natalie. However, deep down, she still wished her father would support her. Helma gazed at Geertâs face as hesitation rose in her heart.
Should I tell Father about my plan?
She was caught in a dilemma.
When Helma was about to reveal her secret plan, she spotted a photo underneath her fatherâs file. Only half of the womanâs face could be seen.
It was none other than the person she despised thoroughly!
Helma only had to take one casual look to recognize the woman immediately.
