Natalie also found it surprising that Sebastian had bid.


    "Marshall, let''s not worry about him. Sebastian is not someone to be trifled with. Don''t provoke him in the future. Keep a low profile, and let''s focus on the important stuff."


    Marshall looked over and saw her confident smile. It was beautiful, dazzling, like a queen enthroned.


    How could Sebastian be so blind?


    To reject such a wonderful girl for that scheming woman, Joanna.


    But he had to thank Sebastian for not marrying her. Maybe he had a chance.


    Natalie ate a piece of braised fish, her eyes crinkling with satisfaction. "Marshall, I''ve been eating nd food for days. This vorful fish tastes absolutely delicious."


    "If you have time tonight,e over for lobster. My chef makes it incredibly well."


    "Then I''ll definitely be there. I have to go to the office this afternoon, and I also need to work on my graduation thesis."


    The thought of his thesis gave Marshall a headache.


    Natalie saw his troubled expression and smiled. "The harder it is, the more you


    should rise to the challenge. A thesis is nothing for you."


    Marshall might be a yboy, but his talent was genuine.


    Marshall felt like crying. If they were in the same major, he would have asked Natalie to help him write it.


    But she was injured. He could handle it himself. He wanted to be a strong support for Natalie, to protect her so she would never be bullied again.


    After lunch, Marshall went to the office, while Natalie continued to rest.


    She asked the butler to arrange for dinner, then took her medicine and went to sleep.


    She was in a good mood, perhaps because of the medicine. She slept soundly, without any dreams, waking upte in the afternoon.


    When she got up, she pulled back the gauze on her arm. The wound had closed up, but it was still painful.


    The flesh had been badly damaged; it would probably hurt for months.


    A sh of hatred crossed her eyes. People like Maxwell were rotten to the core.


    Letting him go this time was just to set up a better revenge.


    She picked up her phone and sent a message to Luna.


    [Luna, what has Joanna been up to today?]


    [She had a shoot today. In her free time, she was constantly on the phone. Colin is working as her driver now that he''s unemployed.]


    Natalie was a little surprised but understood. A proud man like Colin must have swallowed his pride to work as Joanna''s driver.


    [Luna, keep a close eye on her and Horace. The person behind Horace is who we''re really looking for.]


    [Don''t worry. I''ll let you know as soon as I have any news.]


    Natalie put down her phone, a seductive smile ying on her lips.


    That person had taken the bait. Perfect. In this life, she would drag Joanna down from her pedestal.


    With Sebastian unwilling to help Joanna, she had one less enemy.


    Joanna had spent four hundred million, and there would be more spending toe.


    Next would be fundraising. Once they started, she would find out whichpany was backing Joanna.


    川


    As for that illegitimate son... she didn''t know if he was the child Timothy had with the woman


    supposedloved most. She hadn''t


    found out in her past life either.


    .n


    Timothy had hidden that woman so well to protect her from the old man''s wrath. It was likely that even


    Sebastian''s mother didn''t know


    where she was hidden.


    When he proposed, the inte wasn''t as developed, so no one knew identity of the woman who, out of college, had


    freshe


    away by Timothy a een swept


    in wedding of the


    century.
