Chapter 761 Remain Kneeling âReally?â Natalie asked, resting her cheek in her palm.
âWe have advanced technology now. Even if theyâre not fraternal twins, they still can share the same face after undergoing plastic surgery,â Samuel said in a low voice. âPerhaps one can make a perfect copy of another personâs exterior, but the soul within that husk can never be imitated. I will never mistake someone else as you.â
How could Natalie not believe him?
She had that ugly hyper-realistic mask back then, but Samuel had still realized that it was her. Yara had pretended to be her for five years, and she never managed to win over his heart. In other words, the love the man had for her had never been a superficial one.
Natalie smiled and replied, âSamuel, if you mistook me for someone else, Iâll leave you.â
âYou wonât have the chance to.â He then pinched Natalieâs pink cheeks before continuing, âHurry and dig in. Your favorite food wonât taste as good if gets cold.â
âMm.â
After breakfast, Natalie left home and went to Dream Corporation.
it was not a tough feat to acquire Dexmed Pharmaceutical. What was difficult was rebuilding Dexmed Pharmaceuticalâs reputation. That was her grandfatherâs hard work, and she wanted to salvage the brandâs reputation.
Soon, she arrived at the entrance of the building.
Just as she was about to enter the office, a male voice sounded out nearby. âNatalie, itâs me. Wonât you talk to your father? I have some things I want to talk to you about.â
The only person in the world who dared to call himself her father was Thomas.
She could never forget the stormy night when her mother passed away. She had been on her knees in front of the Nichols familyâs entrance, begging Thomas to let Yara meet her one last time so that her mother could pass on in peace. Yet, Yvonne and he had refused to let her into the house.
Moreover, she would never forget how Thomas had sold her away to an old man in his sixties for his own benefit. However, as she ended up losing her virginity, she lost her value as a bargaining chip. In his fury, he had thrown an ashtray at her.
As long as she was human and possessed emotions, she would never think of a man like him as her father.
Upon hearing his voice, Natalie froze for a second. Then, her cold eyes landed on Thomas. âIâm sorry, but I only have a mother and a granddad. I donât have a father, so please donât try to pretend to be close to me.â
Thomasâ expression darkened. âI know... Iâve wronged you many times, so you hate me. I know Iâve made a mistake. I really do.
Please give me a chance to talk with you.â
âIâm busy.â Natalieâs lips curled into a sneer. âI donât have time to talk to you about these things. Anyway, weâre already in the process of acquiring the company. In a few daysâ time, Dexmed Pharmaceutical wonât be yours anymore. You should spend more time in that office of yours because you wonât be able to enter it anymore in the future.â
Hearing that, Thomasâ heart lurched.
The company had been his for over twenty years, but soon, he was going to lose it. Furthermore, he was going to lose it to Natalie. That was a fact he could not bring himself to accept.
Ignoring the fact that many people were coming and going from Dream Corporationâs office, he suddenly kneeled before Natalie.
âNatalie, please spare me a chance for the sake of what we used to be. I really canât live without Dexmed Pharmaceutical.
Please help me out. Please.â Thomas had no choice but to kneel before her. The only person who could help him now was Natalie.
Natalieâs gaze flitted past Thomasâ knees.
She was a little taken aback by his gesture, but at the same time, it did not seem too surprising that he would do that.
For the sake of power, Thomas had betrayed her grandfather, driven her mother away, and made her marriage into a deal, but now, he was begging her like a lowly dog. Everything fitted his character.
Thomas thought that his kneeling would stun Natalie into submission. However, to his surprise, Natalie was unfazed by both his actions and the looks of the passersby as she uttered, âIf everything can be solved by just kneeling before another person, then we wonât need the police. Still, if you enjoy the feeling of being down on your knees, go ahead. Iâd like to see how much sincerity you have.â
