Chapter 2143


    Dean scowled. "Natalie, do you really think I should spend that much money to get my hands on the


    shares of Tate Industries?”


    "Dad, anyone else who has that much money would take this opportunity," Natalie argued. "Elliot is


    busy trying to survive, and Avery is caught up with looking into his condition. Neither of them has


    time to monitor Tate Industries, and that''s why there’s a chance. If you let this opportunity go, what


    would happen if Avery actually manages to save Elliot?"


    Dean could barely focus on the words in the contract from Natalie’s bbering.


    "Natalie, are you sure what you said is true? " Dean had been busy arranging his wedding with


    Ang and nning to take over a bigger enterprise, so he had not paid much attention to Tate


    Industries.


    "I''m certain. I wouldn''t bring this up if I''m not." Worried that Dean would not believe her, she


    continued, "I’m quite close to the vice-president of Sterling Group. Had Elliot not ordered him to


    work against me, he would have never stood in my way.


    Besides, everything I proposed is in line with my contract with Elliot, so even if he wants to do


    something in the future, he wouldn’t have any reason to do so."


    Dean stared at Natalie thoughtfully for a while, before deciding to take the chance because Tate


    Industries had far more potentialpared to MediLove; he needed to secure Tate Industries even


    if it cost him MediLove. After all, his n could very well be hopeless with Ang dead. His only


    option was to see if Tate Industries could seed.


    "Very well. I''m leaving this to you. Do it well and you will get to manage Tate Industries in the


    future."


    "Thank you, Dad, I won''t let you down. Rest well. I will get to it first thing tomorrow. I wille and


    visit again once it’s done."


    "You are going to report to me every day!" Dean reminded her sternly. "You do know what would


    happen to you if you make a mistake, right?"


    "I do."


    Aftering out of the hospital, Natalie went into her car and unlocked her phone to start searching


    for flight tickets back to Aryadelle.


    It was a wide world out there, but she felt like she did not belong anywhere at all. She regretted


    being overly ambitious when she did not have the ability and talent to support her ambition.


    The next morning, she received 2.1 billion in her ount from Dean. Since she was the one who


    had signed the initial contract with Elliot, she had to be the one toplete the bet by transferring


    the money to Tate Industries.


    In truth, she had signed another contract to cancel her initial contract with Elliot the day before, and


    she had fooled Dean into paying her because Elliot had asked her to do so.


    Elliot knew that Dean was obsessed with money, and Elliot was determined to make him pay.


    Natalie was at a crossroads as she stared at the 2.1 billion inside her ount.


    She could simply take the money and run. If she wanted to remain hidden from Dean, she was


    confident that she could hide very well. Dean was over seventy years old and would die sooner or


    later, once he was dead, she would not have to hide.

    However, the thought of Elliot killing her parents, and her having to live the rest of her life alone in


    hiding made her skin crawl.


    Natalie took a deep breath and soon made up her mind.
