Chapter 16


    Natalie’s mother passed away too early, and she was still very little at the time. She thought carefully


    about it, but she really couldn’t recall any important numbers. “Sorry, Mr. Weissman, but I can’t think of


    any important numbers for the time being. Still, since the safe is very important, I’ll try my best to recall


    it.” A hint of visible disappointment shed across Alexis’ face, but he quickly said, “Okay. Natalie, this


    matter is very important. We have to open the safe as soon as possible to recover our losses. Only with


    the document could we legally hold Logan responsible.” Even though Logan had run away, it was


    impossible for him not toe back for the rest of his life. However, without the document, even if he


    came back, they wouldn’t be able to do anything about him. Natalie replied, “Okay. I’ll try my best to

    think about the password.” Alexis shared his views, saying, “Currently, thepany only has a few


    dozen bucks left in its bank ount. While retrieving the core technology, we also have to find ways to


    raise capital. I’ve contacted a few bankers and some famous rich people in Kaiton. I’ll send their


    information to youter, so take a look and see if we should start by getting a loan from the bank or


    looking for investors. Let’s find a way to solve the financial problems first.” Natalie replied, “I’ll think


    about it.” Seeing that she didn’tmit herself to anything right away, Alexis didn’t force her either. He


    gave her a document containing prearranged information about the banks and the investors’ contact


    information, after which she left thepany with the document. … Three dayster, it was the


    anniversary of Natalie’s mother’s death. Having stayed up for two nights to read through the document,


    Natalie dressed in ck and hailed a taxi to the cemetery. She woulde to the cemetery to visit her


    mother’s grave on the same day every year without interruption. Looking at the gravestone, she


    noticed a string of digits in its lower left corner. Immediately, she recalled something and memorized


    the number. It started raining that night. When she came back to the Hillside Vi, she noticed that the


    vi was brightly lit—an extraordinarily lively birthday party was taking ce. Natalie’s lips curled into a


    sneer as she quickly walked inside. “… Mr. Langston really spoils you rotten, Miss Maxwell. I heard that


    he had never held birthday parties in the vi before, but you’re the first person for whom he’s doing


    this. Not only that, but he personally picked a piece of jewelry that’s worth a million as your birthday


    present. That shows your ce in his heart… Come on, let me drink a toast to you!” The living room


    was crowded with guests. An immactely dressed man was raising the wine ss in his hand in a


    toast to someone. Casper was sitting in the seat of the host, whereas sitting next to him was a


    breathtakingly gorgeous woman in a red evening dress who blushed scarlet. She was snuggling up to


    him intimately, so one could tell that they had an unusual rtionship. On the other hand, dressed in


    cheap ck clothes, Natalie seemed somewhat ipatible with the living room’s atmosphere thanks


    to the distant air she had about her. As soon as she entered the room, everyone sized her up without


    restraint, as if eyeing a pet kept in a cage, making her feel very ufortable. Casper was holding a


    ss of wine in his hand while swirling it gently. Upon seeing Natalie, he immediately darted his eyes


    toward her. The woman in red immediately stood up and walked toward Natalie in a pair of red high


    heels while showing off her voluptuous figure. She was wearing an expensive piece of jewelry around


    her neck, which was the birthday present Casper gave her. Throwing out her chest on purpose to show


    off the piece of jewelry, she said in a disdainful voice, “So you’re Natalie Hartwell, huh? I heard that


    you’re the bride that Old Mrs. Langston found for Casper. Well, you’re quite pretty, but judging from


    your figure, it seems that your body is underdeveloped. Can you really satisfy Casper? Also, didn’t he


    give you money? Why dress so cheaply? How embarrassing.” As soon as she finished her sentence, a


    burst ofughter came from the dining table. Natalie darted a look at her. “You have a nice figure, are


    rich, and can satisfy Casper. So why didn’t he marry you instead?” Stung by her words, the woman in


    red flew into a rage. “Who do you think you are? I heard that your mother had passed away a long time


    ago and that your father and stepmother had absconded with thepany’s money, leaving behind an


    empty shell of apany and a huge pile of debts. You’re just a good-for-nothing who grew up without


    a mother. How dare you speak to me in such a tone of voice? Do you know how many years I’ve been


    with Casper? If I hadn’t gone abroad to look for doctors to treat him, how could someone like you be


    qualified to marry him? Believe it or not, even if Iy a hand on you right now, Casper won’t say


    anything about that!” she said while raising her hand to p Natalie. Crash! Natalie picked up an


    antique vase effortlessly and smashed it to pieces right away with a loud crash. After that, she picked


    up the broken vase and aimed it at the neck of the woman in red, cutting thetter’s throat with it at


    once. As the blood spattered, she said with a frosty look in her eyes, “You wannay a hand on me,


    huh? Come on, let’s see who’s gonna die first!” The instant she said that, everyone was shocked!
