From Divorce To Dominance

94

After Darren sent the message, he started to relax and wait for a reply.

While Darren couldn't clarify the sugar daddy rumor, he took significant steps to address the explicit video involving

Natalie.

Natalie should understand. From what Darren knew about her, she would definitely thank him. She might even say, "Thank you. Without your help, I could have gotten through this smoothly. Let me invite you to dinner sometime." She would take advantage of this chance to show her gratitude and set up a meeting. If Darren didn't accept her invitation, he would seem hesitant.

Or maybe Natalie would say, "Wow, you're so awesome! You've handled something that was such a ha**le for me so easily!"

For the past three years, Natalie had been Darren's biggest fan. Every time they met, she would praise and flatter him. When Natalie thanked Darren, he would reply. "It's not a big deal, isn't it? Can't your Jeremy or those guys you're dating even handle this? Then they really aren't good enough if they can't even protect their girlfriend. inking C

of this, Darren suddenly wondered if being too sarcastic would make Natalie misunderstand that he was jealous. Just as Darren was pondering, his phone rang. He got a message Darren hurriedly wanted to check but caught a glimpse of Tony standing nearby. Darren cleared his throat and said, "I just sent the message and she replied to me instantly. She has learned to be sensible." Tony

was amused, thinking, 'Is that so? It's been ten minutes since you sent the message! What are you thinking about with that weird smile? Honestly, it's kind of creepy' Enduring Darren's smile during the past ten minutes, Tony thought he seemed more normal now. Tony composed himself, put on a bright smile, and said, "Ms. Xavier knows who she should really thank. Mr. Luther, she truly appreciates you." Darren felt quite pleased with the flattery and said, "Then I should take some time to see what she said!" Natalie alie simply replied: [W**F]

Darren didn't surf the Internet much. He was always super busy. If Natalie hadn't participated in Sweet Love, he would barely watch any live streams, let alone understand internet slang. Looking at the word, he was a bit confused. It seemed familiar, but he couldn't figure out the meaning.

"W**F?" Darren showed it to Tony and asked, "What does that mean?'Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Tony took a closer look and burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Darren frowned. "What's the joke?" asked Darren again.

Tony didn't dare to laugh at Darren, so he immediately held back his laughter and replied, "Mr. Luther, it means three words."

"What the f**k?" Darren murmured.

Tony tried his hardest to hold in his laughter, not daring to speak.

Darren gripped his phone-angrily, glaring at Tony fiercely. He thought, 'D** Natalie. I saved her, and this is how she treats me? How could she curse me? You bratty woman! I really should teach you a lesson! Chapter 94

Fuming, Darren yanked at his tie. He couldn't catch Natalie right now, so he could only vent his anger on Tony. Darren asked. “Back to business. I asked you to investigate my injury from five years ago. Any leads?”

Tony immediately replied seriously, "Mr. Luther, right after you mentioned it last night, I started digging. I began with the hospital records from that time and made a major discovery. Guess what?"

Darren said. "You want me to guess riddles now?" Darren gave Tony a cold glance, his thin lips curling into a sinister smile that sent chills down the spine. "Can you do it or not? If you can't just go work in Norldea!" Darren threatened.

Tony definitely didn't want to go to Norldea. He said, "Mr. Luther Tony interrupted Darren hastily. "right after you left, the attending physician and nurses all resigned the next month. Those who had close contact with you even emigrated. It's pretty strange." It was really strange, and there must be a reason. Darren's fingers twisted a button slowly, revealing a patch of his skin on his chest

Tony continued. They weren't well-off, but they all emigrated with their families."

"Keep digging, Darren ordered, sensing a fleeting thought that eluded him. "Let me know as soon as you find something," he added.

"Don't worry, Mr. Luther!" Tony said firmly.

Darren waved him I him out, turning to his computer to get back to work.

His computer screen was still on Twitter.

Darren was about to log off when he saw Natalie's name.

ents were all about how tough and decisive Natalie was and her background.

The comments were all

Darren called Tony back and asked, "Did you look into Natalie's background?"

Tony answered bitterly, "I really couldn't find anything, no clues at all."

Darren stared at the screen, recalling the words Natalie said during her stream. He instructed, "Focus on the mining technicians, see if any of them are named Xavier."

Tony

had watched Natalie's stream today too, so he knew the nonsense she had talked about.

With an awkward expression, Tony looked at Darren and said, "Mr. Luther, you can't believe Ms. Xavier. Her words were obviously made up. If her family owned a gold mine, would she really be living up in the mountains?"

Darren said impatiently, "Are you trying to teach me? Norldea is short on labor...

Tony interrupted, "Mr. Luther, I'll get right on it!"

Before Darren could say another word, Tony made a quick escape. Tony thought, "Thank goodness for that, or I'd be shipped

off to Norldear

Natalie's clarification caused a heated discussion online. However, Natalie had gracefully retreated, disappearing from the internet right after her live stream ended at noon.

After having lunch with a few mentors, Natalie went back home.

Al home, Rafael was awake, and Natalie played with him until five o'clock.

Once Rafael was finally lulled to sleep, Natalie asked the maid to take him upstairs. Natalie was finally free to play with her phone for a while.

Emily and Susan both sent messages expressing their concern and praising Natalie for doing a great job.

Oscar also sent his regards, reminding Natalie not to forget about the show recording tomorrow. She replied that she was

aware.

Then it was mostly messages from guys. She checked each one. They were from handsome guys of all kinds, with different tones. Some were acting spoiled, some were playing it cool, some were assertive, and some were cheerful For a moment, Natalie felt like a queen, surrounded by a har**m of admirers. Natalie felt great. Finally, she understood the joys of being single. Having several handsome guys flattering her felt so good. What could be better than that?

Natalie could take her time to choose the one best suited for her, the one who treated her with the most care. This time, she would opt for someone who she loved and loved her more. She wouldn't foolishly dive into a one-sided love affair. Natalie slowly Natalie's

replied to each message. It wasn't like she had anything more important to do. How else was she supposed to find a stepdad for Rafael if she ignored these guys? e's long and slender fingers swiped through the messages one by one.

After a while, she clicked the conversation with Lift Weights for an Hour Every Day. She found that he had replied to her message in the morning quickly.

As usual, the content was flirtatious: [Call me honey, and you can check the goods.]
