Love after Betrayal (Casper and Natalie)

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 flashed 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 to come 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, the company only has a few

dozen bucks left in its bank account. 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 you later, 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’t commit 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 the company with the document. … Three days later, it was the

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

Natalie dressed in black and hailed a taxi to the cemetery. She would come 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 Villa, she noticed that the

villa was brightly lit—an extraordinarily lively birthday party was taking place. 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 villa 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 place in his heart… Come on, let me drink a toast to you!” The living room

was crowded with guests. An immaculately dressed man was raising the wine glass 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 relationship. On the other hand, dressed in

cheap black clothes, Natalie seemed somewhat incompatible with the living room’s atmosphere thanks All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

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 uncomfortable. Casper was holding a

glass 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 of laughter 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 the company’s money, leaving behind an

empty shell of a company 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 I lay a hand on you right now, Casper won’t say

anything about that!” she said while raising her hand to slap 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 the latter’s throat with it at

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

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