Chapter 593 Are You Not Cold After clearing his throat, Jason voiced, âThank you all for joining my birthday celebration. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce my goddaughter, Natalie. Sheâs the kindest and sweetest girl weâve ever met, and sheâs dear to our hearts. Even though she may not be related to us by blood, sheâs undoubtedly our family.â
As soon as Jason was done talking, his guests showered him and his family with applause.
âI can tell that the Weisses adore this young woman.â
âJason is a highly-respected man. This young woman should consider herself extremely lucky to be the manâs goddaughter.â
âWhy does she look so familiar, though? I feel like Iâve seen her somewhere before.â
âOh, I know! Sheâs the chairperson of Dream Corporation!â
âYou mean sheâs the young woman who founded Dream Pharmaceutical? Sheâs incredible! I think the Weisses are the lucky ones if you ask me.â
Meanwhile, Rowan, the chairperson of Jackson Corporation, raised an eyebrow curiously somewhere in the crowd. âI wonder who will be the one to marry her. By doing that, not only can they get on the Weissesâ good side, but theyâll also be in control of Dream Corporation!â
Then, the man turned to scowl at Martin. âInstead of wasting your time on women who contribute nothing to your future, you should be courting someone like her. If you can marry her, I promise you that youâll never have to work another day in your life!â
Rowan had six children with several women, but they were all daughters, except for Martin.
The Jackson family had doted on Martin since he was a child. Although he was terrible at his studies, his family paid a fortune to forge his credentials.
Still, Martin had no intention of bettering himself. Even after graduating, all he could think about at work was mingling with his female coworkers.
It even got to a point where the women at the workplace fought over him. The scuffle eventually ended in blood and resentment.
In spite of that, Rowan insisted that Martin would be the only heir to his fortune, for Martin was the only son he had.
Although his daughters were far more dependable than Martin, Rowan still refused to groom them.
Martin narrowed his eyes at Natalie after taking a gulp of his beer. âAre you serious, Dad? Iâll never have to work another day in my life?â
âOf course! I donât care how many women you sleep with, but when it comes to marriage, sheâs the kind you should go for.â
Martin licked his upper lip and smiled deviously. âYouâll have to excuse me for a while, Dad.â
âThis is the Weissesâ, so you better behave yourself!â reminded Rowan sternly.
âI know what Iâm doing. Donât worry.â After putting down his beer bottle, Martin left his fatherâs sight.
Jason brought nothing if not attention to Natalie when he made the introduction. Everybody wanted to get close to her so that they could establish a business relationship with Dream Corporation.
Surrounded by people she did not care about, Natalie quickly reached the limit of her patience after just a while.
Yana and Hans could immediately tell what was going on with Natalie, so they hurried over to her. âYou must be tired. What donât you let Hans and me handle the crowd while you go for some air?â
âThank you, Yana.â With that, Natalie quickly turned around and walked out of the banquet hall.
A few tried to follow her, but Yana and Hans managed to stop them.
Standing in the garden and surrounded by nothing but plants, Natalie could finally breathe easy. Itâs so much better out here. As expected, partying is not my thing.
Just when Natalie was stretching to relax, she heard a manâs voice. âItâs a little cold out here. Donât you think so?â
