    Chapter 150 Settling down


    During the seemingly endless wait for the call to connect, though only a few seconds had passed,


    Natalie felt an unbearable length of time.


    Living alone in Los Angeles, coupled with the risks of identity exposure at any time, she couldn’t deny


    that she was nervous.


    Her hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and she stared without blinking at the person at the door,


    fearing any sudden movement from him.


    After a few seconds, the sound of a ringing phone came from outside the door.


    The sudden ringing of the bell startled Natalie, who almost couldn’t hold her phone. She called Hugh,


    how could it be that the ringing came from outside the door?


    The phone was answered.


    Hugh on the other end of the phone didn’t speak, as he was waiting for Natalie to speak.


    “Hugh,e to Greenlife vi quickly. “Natalie lowered her voice and looked at the man outside


    the door.


    Wait… The person at the door seemed to have moved… He seemed to be turning his head


    towards the house…


    Natalie’s heart skipped a beat. She only nced briefly and couldn’t clearly see the person’s face. She


    quickly turned around and pressed her back against the wall. Her scalp tingled, her heart pounded, and


    she didn’t dare to move, afraid of attracting the attention of the man outside the


    door.


    “I’m in the vi,” Hugh’s voice came through the phone.


    Natalie raised her eyebrows and asked, “Are you in Greenlife vi? Where? At the door?” She quickly


    asked, but she didn’t dare to turn her head due to the man outside the door.


    “Yes.”


    Didn’t you see anyone at the door? “Natalie frowned and whispered.


    Hugh held his phone and turned around to look around the yard. It was quiet and still, with no


    sound or any sign of a person.


    “No,” Hugh replied.


    Natalie was even more puzzled at the moment. How could there be no one? She clearly saw


    someone standing at the entrance just now…


    Although the situation was urgent and she couldn’t see the person’s face clearly, she caught a glimpse


    of their figure-a man dressed in ck with a strong build.


    Hugh couldn’t have missed it.


    Dressed in ck, strong build… Wait a minute… an idea shed in Natalie’s heart.


    Could that person be Hugh?


    As soon as this idea emerged, Natalie felt relieved and immediately asked, “Are you at the main


    entrance


    “Yes,” The man replied lightly.


    He stood straight up, his sharp gaze scanning the surroundings. His ears were attuned to any


    movement, not missing even the slightest rustle of the leaves.


    Although Natalie’s voice on the phone seemed rtively calm, Hugh still keenly detected the


    underlying tremor in her voice… She was nervous, she was afraid.


    Combined with the content of Natalie’s words, it was highly likely that there were dangerous


    people in the vicinity… Hugh almost immediately went on high alert.


    Hugh was standing at the front entrance… Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Natalie was even


    more certain of her thoughts. Could it really be Hugh outside the door?


    But just in case, she remained vignt and found a dimly lit window along the wall that allowed a faint


    glimpse of the outside, a position that wouldn’t be noticed by people outside.


    Natalie carefully pushed open a crack in the window and looked out.


    Having been in the military for a long time, Hugh’s hearing is very sharp.


    The slight sound of the window being opened immediately reached Hugh’s ears, and he almost


    immediately turned his head, his gaze piercing through the window, directly locking onto Natalie.


    Two people looked at each other.


    “It’s really you!” Natalie was a bit excited.


    Upon hearing the familiar voice, Hugh’s tense state faded, and a hint of doubt slowly shed on his


    expressionless face.


    Natalie leaned out and said, “Why haven’t you left yet?”


    Hugh remained stationary, raising his head to look at Natalie protruding from the window, and said,


    “Work.”


    Natalie didn’t hear clearly.


    She frowned and said, “What did you say?”


    Natalie didn’t answer. He turned around and stood upright, returning to his original position, like a


    pine and cypress.


    He stood with a straight back, just like when he was sitting-always maintaining a formal and alert


    posture, giving off a strong and sturdy aura.


    Natalie watched as he returned to his original spot… She felt helpless that Hugh’s personality was


    truly reserved and taciturn, which made him seem impolite at times.


    But looking at his figure standing outside, Natalie felt very relieved.


    She slowly lowered her tiptoes and pulled her head back in. After seeing that the person was


    Hugh, her tense moodpletely rxed.


    It seemed like she had overreacted…


    But she had never asked Hugh to stand outside… The bodyguards hired from the Swan family are


    usually on call, but she had never asked them to stand in Greenlife vi every day.


    Was it inappropriate to make Hugh stand at the door? Natalie subconsciously wanted Hugh to


    rest. However, before the words could leave her mouth, she hesitated.


    Although today’s incident was a false rm, in order to ensure safety, she actually hoped to have a


    bodyguard staying in Greenlife vi.


    After all, if something really happened and she stayed here alone, she couldn’t even get away. In


    urgent situations, she needed to be able to contact the bodyguards promptly. But if there were


    dys in their response like today, it would be even more dangerous.


    Natalie silently dispelled the idea of letting Hugh go back.

    She redirected her attention to what she had intended to do earlier. She quickly walked to the


    table, then turned on theputer, found the email sent by Jerry, skillfully passed it onto the


    printer, and printed it out.


    The document was thick and heavy in her hands.


    It seems that the Lance family really gave her all the information about the Lance family… Natalie


    holding this heavy document, couldn’t help but marvel at how Jerry had ced so much trust in


    her. He didn’t even take any precautions?


    Time passed.


    Natalie roughly skimmed through the document from beginning to end, gaining a general


    understanding of the overall operations and mechanisms of the Lance family…


    A message arrived on her phone.


    [Doctor, the information you asked me to find about Graham Group has been sorted out and sent to


    your email.]


    It was sent by Ryan, with a cute expression at the end of the message.


    Natalie raised her eyebrows, and Ryan’s information came at the right time. She happened to need


    a detailed understanding of Graham Group’s s recent “whereabouts.”


    [Okay.]


    She clicked on her email and found the email sent by Ryan.


    Natalie scanned through the email line by line, her expression grew increasingly serious.


    How could the information sent by Ryan be so detailed? Her brow furrowed.


    She had originally asked Ryan to search for Graham Group’s information, but thought Ryan would find


    some rtively ordinary information rted to Graham Group.


    But this information went far beyond what an ordinary person could gather… The level of detail was


    definitely not something an average person could achieve. How could Ryan collect it?


    What secrets did Ryan hold?


    She carefully read this document and quickly discovered a breakthrough point.


    Natalie put the documents aside, quickly unfolded the Los Angeles’ dossier she had originally


    organized, andpared it to the information just sent by Ryan.


    Byparing the two, she immediately had an idea. If she wanted to improve the financial chain of the


    Lance family without the interference of Julian, the breakthrough would be at Hazel International


    Hospital!


    ording to the information sent by Ryan, Hazel International Hospital was Graham Group’s drug


    supply hospital. But the most crucial thing was not this. The key was that Julian had been expelled from


    Hazel International Hospital.
