Chapter 1147 Targeted King appeared before Mistem in a mask. âMistem, how were things going when I wasnât around?â King questioned. Mistem positioned his right hand before his chest and half-kneeled before King. âAll arrangements have been made. However, Ms. Helma might be affected if we were to force Natalie into danger.â
King scoffed. âGeertâs two daughters are just like him, all pride with no capability. Thatâs the case for his eldest daughter, and thatâs also the case for his younger daughter. If I had managed to marry her back then, our daughter could have been someone like Natalie Nichols.â
At that, Mistem lifted his head to look at the masked man. Mistem had seen Kingâs face before, and he knew that no one would ever expect that certain man to be the one leading Blaze all these years.
The wind was strong that day. After three days and three nights on the sea, the shipment finally arrived at Yaleviewâs port and entered Dream Corporationâs warehouse.
Yandel was staring out the window, daydreaming. When Natalie stood up to pour herself a glass of water, she filled a glass for Yandel as well. âYandel, whatâs on your mind?â
Yandel took the glass from Natalie and said without any reservation, âIâm thinking about how our collaboration with the Leitz family is going a little too smoothly. There hasnât been a single hitch, and that doesnât make sense. But I canât figure out whatâs amiss.â
After saying that, Yandel realized he was not making any sense.
âBoss, you donât really understand what Iâm talking about, right? Honestly, it feels like Iâm speaking in tongues, and Iâm confusing myself too.â
âWell, I have to admit itâs a little confusing.â Natalie patted Yandelâs shoulder. âBut it has nothing to do with the way youâre expressing it. Something is up about this matter. Maybe the hitch youâre waiting for will pop up soon.â
A look of surprise manifested on Yandelâs face when he heard her.
âBoss, you know what problem is going to pop up already?â
âI donât.â Natalie blinked and shrugged before chuckling.
âThen why are you still laughing?â
âWhy shouldnât I be laughing?â Natalie threw the question back at him. âIâm a changed woman. Even if Iâm in some kind of danger, you guys will think of a way to fish me out of it. Moreover, do I look like a doormat?â
Danger was coming, but Natalie found herself feeling more at ease than before.
There were many things in life she could not avoid, so she saw no point in worrying about them.
Furthermore, she did not need to bear the burden of everything by herself anymore.
Natalieâs words stupefied Yandel for a while. Once he registered her response, he started chuckling too. It was then he realized that Natalie had changed over time without his knowledge.
She had become even more brilliant and stronger.
âBoss, if youâre a doormat, you might hurt someoneâs foot,â Yandel teased.
âLetâs wait for a little longer.â
Speak of the devil, and he shall come.
Before the two of them could even finish their glass of water, a group of uniformed police officers came to Dreamâs office. They seemed like they were in a hurry, and they were clearly coming for Natalie.
Yandel drew his brows together. âThis isâ¦â
Natalie glanced at Yandel before turning to look at the leading officer.
âAre you Natalie Nichols?â
âI am,â she calmly answered.
âThe police have reason to suspect that youâre involved in a drug dealing case. Please come with us now,â the leading officer said as he took out handcuffs. âPlease cooperate with us. If you do not, weâll have to resort to force.â
Hearing that, Yandel moved to stop them, but Natalie shook her head at him.
âRemember what I told you earlier?â
Yandel was upset about it, but he knew what Natalie meant.
Evidently, Natalie and Dream Corporation were now someoneâs target.
This was unavoidable. Instead of trying to flee from the problem, what they should be doing was thinking of a way to resolve it.
With a click, Natalie was cuffed.
