Chapter 591 Exploiting Natalie Meanwhile, a man wearing a silver mask was stroking a blue-eyed Persian cat on his lap inside the manor.
Curled into a ball of fur, the cat lay quietly while the man ran his fingers over its head.
âKing, Yaraâs plan has failed. She could have shot Natalie dead, but her ego got the best of her. Just as you expected, Natalie is a difficult one to deal with. She seemed to have figured out that Melissa had taken YF-12, so she started to look into us. On top of that, Samuel, who has always been neutral, is helping Natalie with her investigation,â reported Gale personally after rushing back from Dellmoor on a plane.
Galeâs face immediately turned grim when he remembered whose fault it was that got them into that predicament. Yara just had to get videos of Natalie with other men. If it werenât for her, we wouldnât be in this situation!
After listening to Gale, the man suddenly got on his feet.
When the Persian cat tried to jump off of him, he swiftly grabbed hold of it by the skin of its neck.
In pain, the cat frantically swiped its paws around, struggling to break free.
âIf Yara and Natalie continue to go at each other like that, Iâm sure Natalie will emerge victorious in the end,â stated the man with a smirk. âNatalie is no ordinary woman, so I donât think we should treat her the way we treated Arnold. That would be a waste of talent because I know she has a lot of potentials. Instead of killing her off, we should exploit her.â
Even after listening to that, Gale seemed somewhat unconvinced. âI hear what youâre saying, King, but that doesnât mean sheâll ââ
âYouâve never been able to hold Loot, have you?â
âNo,â replied Gale while shaking his head before King threw Loot, the Persian cat, in his way.
The white cat was trembling in fear because, for a while, it had trouble breathing.
Afraid that he might hurt Kingâs precious pet, Gale held on to the creature carefully.
Naturally, Loot was as obedient as it could be in the manâs tender embrace after it almost suffocated to death.
To Galeâs surprise, he was even able to pet the cat on the head. âHow did youââ
âDonât you see? How you manipulate someone is similar to how you do it to a cat. When people experience true desperation, youâll be able to mold them like clay. Little by little, Iâll change Natalie to be exactly the person I want, and I donât need a pawn like Yara to achieve that. Someday, Iâll get Natalie to carry out my will and cement my power in Loang,â explained King with a devious smile.
It was only then that Gale realized the manâs true intention.
After the explanation, Natalie and Ross started diving into their research and worked continuously for five days.
On the day of Jasonâs birthday celebration, Natalie finally left the laboratory and changed into a light purple evening dress before heading to the garden party.
Natalie had asked Samuel to be her plus one, but the man had to attend an important meeting, so she ended up going alone.
As soon as Natalie reached the entrance to the garden, she bumped into the heavily pregnant Yana.
âHey, Natalie!â greeted Yana, waving her hand.
âYana! Hans!â
After hurrying over to Yana, Natalie questioned the womanâs husband, âDo you have any idea how cold it is outside right now?
Why did you let Yana wait at the gate?â
âI tried to stop her, but she insisted on waiting for you here,â explained Hans helplessly.
