Chapter 372
Given the current tricky situation with Brandon, Natalie couldn’t just go back to work.She needed to
stay in Seacisco until she figured out what was going on with him, so she decided to stay in the same
hotel as her parents.
Johanna and Beal stuck by her side.Early the following morning, Garrett arrived with breakfast.
“Judging from how upset you soundedst night, I assume you’re probably not in the mood for
breakfast, so I got you some good stuff.Come on.I brought sausages, bacon, toast, donuts,
sandwiches, and coffee.There must be something you’d want to eat.”
In fact, he had long felt that something was wrong with Brandon.
After receiving Natalie’s callst night, now more than ever he was certain that something was amiss.
Besides Garrett, Tiffany also came.She was a workaholic, but she actually took that day off for the sake
of checking on Natalie.
“No wonder you were so pale yesterday we met.Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Tiffany patted
Natalie’s shoulder with a pout.
“Aren’t we supposed to be friends?”
Two important figures who were closely rted to the Larson Group and its CEO were present.
However, Natalie still had no idea what to do next.
“I don’t want to keep you away from work, but I couldn’t do this on my own.Brandon’s cold and
unapproachable now.He’spletely devoted to his work and thepany.! can’t even see him, let
alone talk to him properly.”
Tiffany rested her chin on her hand and mused, “Mr.Larson has indeed been very busy since he came
back.It’s really hard to find an opportunity to sit down with him.”
Athought suddenly urred to Garrett.He warned Natalie, “Don’t hover around Brandon.He hates that
kind of thing the most.When we were still in school, many girls chased after him like this, and it really
pissed him off!”
Natalie was at the end of her rope.
Exhausted and at wit’s end, shey in bed with a heavy sigh.She had toe up with a way to get
close to Brandon.
Since it was useless to try to talk to him, perhaps she should adopt something more direct.
Suddenly, Natalie got up from the bed.
There was fierce determination in her eyes and she seemed to have the will to fight again.
“I’m going to see Brandon.” Brandon saw the woman standing outside his office.
There was an unyielding look in her bright eyes.This upset him a little. He didn’t expect that Natalie
woulde to him again.
“Miss White, what’re you doing here? I thought I made myself clear.” Brandon looked at Natalie coldly.
“We still need to talk, Brandon.We…Has there been any misunderstanding between us?”.
Natalie tried to speak in a soft, gentle voice.But as she looked into the pair of cold eyes in front of her,
she couldn’t help but feel torn-up inside.
Brandon became more annoyed.
Natalie would be detrimental to his work if she continued to pester him like this.
Indeed, Charis had told him before that Natalie was a clingy woman.
At first, he didn’t take her seriously.But now he realized that what Charis said was right.
“Miss White, there’s nothing I have to say to you.Don’t waste my time.If youe back here and make
trouble out of nothing one more time, don’t me me for being rude.” Brandon’s expression darkened.
This time, he didn’t even invite Natalie to talk in his office.
Just then, Charis heard themotion and came out of his office.She asked with a gentle smile, “What
happened? Why are you so worked up?”.
Lately, she had been ying the role of Brandon’spetent assistant who devoted herself to
work.She was not in a hurry to develop a deeper rtionship with Brandon.
The most important thing right now was to make sure he trusted her.
Seeing the unfriendly look on Brandon’s face, Charis realized what was going on.She turned to look at
Natalie and smiled apologetically, “Miss White, please forgive Mr.Larson.He’s very busy and doesn’t
even have the time to sleep—hence the bad
temper.”
Natalie’s face turned purple from anger.
Of course, she could tell that Charis was only stirring up trouble.
Compared to Charis, who seemed to be considerate, Natalie looked like an unreasonable shrew who
kept pestering Brandon.The winner was obvious.
Without saying anything more, Brandon turned around to leave.Charis looked at Natalie with a smug
smile.
Then she also turned around and followed Brandon.
Just then, Natalie’s cold voice sounded from behind them.
“Brandon, I need to talk to you for thest time.If you don’t agree, then let’s get a divorce.Anyway, a
marriage without trust is
meaningless.”
Thest shred of hope in Natalie’s heart disappeared.
Charis kept making things difficult for her.
Natalie knew that it’d be impossible to curry Brandon’s favor by ying an affectionate wife So Natalie
was going to deal with this matter in the way that Brandon liked most in a businesslike, professional
manner.
Her firm words seemed to finally get to Brandon.His tall, burly figure suddenly stiffened.
At present, the Larson Group was growing stronger and stronger.
Divorce would be an unwise move at this time.
If the divorce pushed through, Natalie would get tons of his assets in alimony.
Brandon turned around and looked at Natalie in unmasked surprise.
There was finally a trace of emotion in his usually cold eyes.He had never considered divorcing Natalie.
And ording to Charis, Natalie waspletely obsessed with him.
Wasn’t it out of character for her to ask for a divorce then? With one hand in his pocket, Brandon
narrowed his eyes at Natalie and finally asked, “What do you want?”
Natalie’s expression darkened.
“I’ve told you countless times.AII I want is to be able to talk to you.Mr.Larson, since you are so busy
every single day, I don’t know when you’ll be avable to talk.I don’t mind making an appointment to fit
your schedule, but I only have one request: we need to have enough time to talk.”
Natalie nced at Charis, who was standing near Brandon, and added sarcastically, “If you leave in the
middle of our conversation because of some ‘emergency’ again, I’ll divorce you on the spot.”
What a cold tone! Brandon couldn’t help but look Natalie up and down a few more times.lt seemed that
he had never looked at her this seriously before.
The woman in front of him had a pair of fiercely determined eyes.She wasn’t that tall, nor was she
stunning at first sight, but she was still pretty.
And she had this magic charm of her that once you set eyes on her, it would be hard to take your eyes
off of her.
An indescribable emotion suddenly emerged at the bottom of Brandon’s heart..
Why did this woman insist on having a talk with him? Did they really love each other deeply before? If
that was the case, how could he have just forgotten herpletely? Something seemed to spark within
Brandon’s heart, but theplex emotion died.
down as soon as it came.
He couldn’t even understand why he had such a strange feeling for Natalie.He thought for a while and
then said, “I’ll ask my assistant to keep my whole morning open tomorrow.”.
Natalie nodded.
“Okay.”.
After saying that, she turned around and left without hesitation.
The following morning, Natalie, Beal, and Johanna all came to Larson Group.
At first, Natalie didn’t want her parents toe with her, but Beal and Johanna were worried that
Natalie would be bullied if she went to see Brandon alone, so they insisted oning together with her.
The three sat opposite Brandon in a negotiating manner..
Natalie spoke up first, her tone unhurried.
“You said that you would fulfill your duty as a husband, but you only care about work. You even moved
to the hotel near thepany. You turn a blind eye to me and even refuse to talk with me.You
completely ignore me as your wife.ls this what you mean by ‘duty’?”
Brandon answered calmly, “I’ve always put work first.For me, love is—”
Before he could finish his sentence, Natalie interrupted him.
“Don’t talk nonsense with me,” Natalie pulled a long face and said firmly.
“Don’t tell me that work is more important.Before this, even if you were extremely busy, you would
always spare time for me.But now, you’ve been so cold to me. You’re practically begging me to divorce
you, aren’t you? Brandon, let me tell you this: if I divorce you, I promise I won’t be merciful.Don’t forget
that I have the support of the White family now.My parents are no weaker than you.They will support
whatever decision I make.We didn’t sign any prenup before we got married, will use all means to get as
much property from you as possible if we are to get divorced.When that happens, do you think you’ll
still be able to strengthen the Larson Group smoothly as nned?
Natalie had a fierce, almost aggressive air about her as she spoke.noveloz lt surprised Brandon
enough that he unconsciously squared his shoulders.

Johanna didn’t expect her daughter to straight-up ask for a divorce.But it wasn’t an entirely bad idea,
seeing as how indifferent
Brandon was to her.
At his current state, the man didn’t deserve Natalie at all.
“This time, it’s all your fault,” Johannamented.
“You’ve been ignoring your wife all this time.She has a perfectly healthy husband, but she is forced to
live the life of a widow.Let me make things clear for you, Brandon.If you and my daughter get a divorce,
the Larson Group will be regarded as an enemy of the White family.The decision is yours.I suggest you
think about it very carefully.”
“Natalie,” Beal interjected in a quiet but serious tone, “if you really want a divorce, I’ll call our family
lawyer over.He can be here by tomorrow.”
Brandon lowered his eyes.
With Beal’s words, he could tell that the couple were willing to support Natalie’s pursuit of a divorce.lt
was no mere threat.
However, the White family was a formidable force in Barnes.
