The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 1147

King appeared before Mistem in a mask.

“Mistem, how were things going when I wasn't around?” King questioned.

Mistem positioned his right hand before his chest and half-kneeled before King. “All arrangements have been made. However, Ms. Helma might be affected if we were to force Natalie into danger.”

King scoffed. “Geert's two daughters are just like him, all pride with no capability. That's the case for his eldest daughter, and that's also the case for his younger daughter. If I had managed to marry her back then, our daughter could have been someone like Natalie Nichols.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

At that, Mistem lifted his head to look at the masked man.

Mistem had seen King's face before, and he knew that no one would ever expect that certain man to be the one leading Blaze all these years.

The wind was strong that day.

After three days and three nights on the sea, the shipment finally arrived at Yaleview's port and entered Dream Corporation's warehouse.

Yandel was staring out the window, daydreaming.

When Natalie stood up to pour herself a glass of water, she filled a glass for Yandel as well. “Yandel, what's on your mind?”

Yandel took the glass from Natalie and said without any reservation, “I'm thinking about how our collaboration with the Leitz family is going a little too smoothly. There hasn't been a single hitch, and

that doesn't make sense. But I can't figure out what's amiss.”

After saying that, Yandel realized he was not making any sense.

“Boss, you don't really understand what I'm talking about, right? Honestly, it feels like I'm speaking in tongues, and I'm confusing myself too.”

“Well, I have to admit it's a little confusing.” Natalie patted Yandel's shoulder. “But it has nothing to do with the way you're expressing it. Something is up about this matter. Maybe the hitch you're waiting for will pop up soon.”

A look of surprise manifested on Yandel's face when he heard her.

“Boss, you know what problem is going to pop up already?”

“I don't.” Natalie blinked and shrugged before chuckling.

“Then why are you still laughing?”

“Why shouldn't I be laughing?” Natalie threw the question back at him. “I'm a changed woman. Even if I'm in some kind of danger, you guys will think of a way to fish me out of it. Moreover, do I look like a doormat?”

Danger was coming, but Natalie found herself feeling more at ease than before.

There were many things in life she could not avoid, so she saw no point in worrying about them.

Furthermore, she did not need to bear the burden of everything by herself anymore.

Natalie's words stupefied Yandel for a while. Once he registered her response, he started chuckling too. It was then he realized that Natalie had changed over time without his knowledge.

She had become even more brilliant and stronger.

“Boss, if you're a doormat, you might hurt someone's foot,” Yandel teased.

“Let's wait for a little longer.”

Speak of the devil, and he shall come.

Before the two of them could even finish their glass of water, a group of uniformed police officers came to Dream's office. They seemed like they were in a hurry, and they were clearly coming for Natalie.

Yandel drew his brows together. “This is...”

Natalie glanced at Yandel before turning to look at the leading officer.

“Are you Natalie Nichols?”

“I am,” she calmly answered.

“The police have reason to suspect that you're involved in a drug dealing case. Please come with us now,” the leading officer said as he took out handcuffs. “Please cooperate with us. If you do not, we'll have to resort to force.”

Hearing that, Yandel moved to stop them, but Natalie shook her head at him.

“Remember what I told you earlier?”

Yandel was upset about it, but he knew what Natalie meant.

Evidently, Natalie and Dream Corporation were now someone's target.

This was unavoidable. Instead of trying to flee from the problem, what they should be doing was thinking of a way to resolve it.

With a click, Natalie was cuffed.
