Chapter 936


    Chapter 936


    Hank asked, “Are you sure her husband isn’t some big shot in Riverton? Have you met the guy?”


    ir replied, “Never met the man, but she’s definitely not the wife of any hotshot in Riverton, so I’d bet


    her husband isn’t worth noting. The Reese family’s been a bit rockytely, stock’s taken a hit, but


    they’ve still got their chops. I reckon dealing with some nobody shouldn’t be too tough”


    Hankmented, “You’ve neverid eyes on him, and you’re just assuming he’s a nobody? That’s


    jumping the gun a bit, don’t you think? I tell ya, the guy’s got an aura like no other. Plus, he’s got this


    badass bodyguard who’s given our guys a real run for their money”


    Hank was a tough street guy, and his best skill was sizing people up. If he said Cornelia’s husband ain’t


    a pushover, then he probably ain’t


    If one want to pull off something big, one gotta get the lowdown first.


    Then hold your horses and don’t act rashly Let me get the 411 on this guy first, then we can n our


    next move” ir hung up and immediately got out of bed to look for Natalia.


    After thest incident, ir had kept Natalia at the Reese family mansion, confiscating all of her means


    ofmunication with the outside world. In a nutshell, Natalia was under house arrest. Without ir’s


    permission, she couldn’t even leave her room, let alone contact the outside world.


    Being cooped up in her room all the time, except for meal times, Natalia was beginning to feel


    ufortable. It was just getting light and she was already wide awake, nkly staring at the ceiling.


    She had no idea what kind of family she was living in, why she was locked in her room, or when she


    would be able to leave.


    Hearing the doorknob turn, she quickly shut her eyes, pretending to be asleep. But ir didn’t care if


    she was sleeping or not. She yanked the nket off Natalia, “Wake up, Natalia. I want to talk to you.”


    Natalia pretended to be roused from sleep, rubbing her eyes, “Why are you up so early?”


    Without wasting words, ir asked, “Natalia, you’re chummy with Marc’s assistant, night? Ever met her


    husband?”


    Natalia knew ir wouldn’t look for her without a good reason. She didn’t want to answer, so she just


    stared nkly at a spot on the ceiling, not saying anything.


    ir reached out, grabbed her forcefully, “Natalia, are you listening to me or not?”


    Natalia looked at ir, as if she were a stranger, “Am I really your daughter?”


    ir asked, “What do you mean? Why are you always asking me these heart–wrenching questions? If


    you’re not my child, then whose child do you think you are?”

    Natalia asked, “Am I really your biological child? Are you sure? Why can’t I feel any love from you?”


    Hearing this, ir felt wronged, “I gave you birth into the Reese family, a prestigious family. Not only


    did I provide you with the best life, but also the best education. I’ve done my best, given you everything


    I could think of. How could you say I don’t love you? Natalia, has someone been misleading you? How


    could you say something that hurts my feelings? You’re my everything. All my hopes are pinned on


    you.”


    Seeing ir’s hurt expression, Natalia began to question again whether she really was mentally ill. In


    her room, there were pictures of her mother pregnant with her. She could doubt anyone, but she


    couldn’t doubt her own mother, I’m sorry! I don’t know why, but I’ve been having all these crazy


    thoughtstely.”
