They had to take it slow. She felt a rush of anger at the miserable sight of her daughter lying on the bed. “I want to take revenge on Natalie. She has to pay the price for hurting Cassie.”
Seeing that Lauren was agitated, Charis thought for a while and said, “Natalie is a cunning woman. You must be careful or she will hurt you instead.”
“My daughter is just a rookie when it comes to all these. She didn’t know what Natalie was capable of doing. But don’t worry, Miss Turner. We will chart a perfect plan before taking action. We won’t fail this time.” Lauren’s eyes glinted with malice.
After a moment’s pause, she looked at Charis. The anger on her face disappeared in an instant. “Miss Turner, Natalie also works in the Larson Group.” She smiled.
“You are in a higher position than her. I wonder if you could help us out when the day comes?” Lauren could tell that Charis didn’t like Natalie either.
Charis pursed her lips and mulled it over.She wanted to use Cassie and Lauren to fulfill her plan so that she didn’t have to get directly involved in it. Therefore, she didn’t mind helping them as long as it didn’t cause her trouble.
“Hmm… I’ll see if I can do something.” Charis shook her head without giving a proper answer. She felt it would be best to leave room for negotiation. Considering her work was done, she stood up.
“Mrs. Quinn, I need to go back to work now. It was nice meeting you.” Charis walked out without looking back. Meanwhile, Natalie stared at the rising sun, holding the toothpaste in her hand. She seemed absentminded.
Seeing that the toothpaste in her hand was about to drop on the floor, Sebastian grabbed her wrist. “You’ve been this way ever since you came back yesterday.”
Hearing his voice, Natalie blinked and snapped back to reality.
“Sebastian, how do you think Cassie is doing now?” she asked in a daze. She wasn’t used to harming people and couldn’t stop thinking about Cassie.
“If you want to know about it, I’ll find out in the afternoon.” Sebastian squirted the toothpaste on Natalie’s brush and ruffled her hair
“How will you find out? I don’t want others to know about it.” Natalie frowned.
The guilt was slowly eating her.
“I have my ways. I’ll tell you about it when I return home tonight,” Sebastian said, staring into her eyes.
That evening, Sebastian thoroughly investigated what had happened to Cassie before going back home and told Natalie all about it.
Natalie was cooking dinner at the kitchen. She looked up at Sebastian and breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank God she is still alive.” Fortunately, things didn’t end too badly for Cassie, even though she deserved to be punished for plotting against Natalie.
However, Sebastian didn’t seem relieved. Both Cassie and her mother were vindictive people. He knew they would undoubtedly wreak havoc in their lives.
“You have to be careful. Natalie. This is only the beginning.” Sebastian’s eyes narrowed as he looked at her.
“That’s what I’m worried about.” Natalie frowned.
“lm her sworn enemy now. She will undoubtedly seek revenge.
The moment Sebastian noticed the panic in Natalie’s eyes, he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and rested his chin on her collarbone. His voice rang in her ears, “it’s nothing to be afraid of. I’m here with you. Please calm down.”
Natalie closed her eyes and took a deep breath when he finished speaking. She then turned around and hugged him tightly. With tears welling up in her eyes, she said, “I really wish I could calm down However, I can’t help but think that I have caused a lot of trouble.”
Now, Natalie wished she could turn back the hands of time. She hadn’t expected things to turn out like this. Stroking her hair to comfort her, Sebastian sealed her lips with a kiss. She was forced to swallow the words she wanted to say.
The topmost agenda on Sebastian’s list was to get rid of Cassie and Lauren once and for all.
But before he could come up with a good plan, he received a call from Garrett.
“Hey, buddy. I just found out something. You need to stop whatever you have planned. Did you know that Cassie is Luke’s new mistress?” Sebastian’s eyes darkened immediately. He had heard that Luke had a lot of girlfriends, but he didn’t expect that Cassie would be one of them.
“So what? How is that a big deal? Isn’t he fond of changing mistresses as if he’s changing clothes? Or is he very serious with Cassie?” He sneered.
“Yes, he changes mistresses every now and then. But I don’t know if he’s serious with Cassie or not. I honestly don’t think he would be with her for long. But that doesn’t change the fact that she’s currently affiliated with him. You have to be very careful. I heard that Luke pulled some strings to have Lauren released from prison. That means he can do anything for them because he likes Cassie, at least for now. If you must do something to them, you have to tread with caution. That’s all I can say,” Garrett said seriously.
Sebastian’s lips thinned into a grim line as he listened to this advice. As much as he hated to admit it, Garrett was right. There was no mistaking that Luke was a formidable opponent. His powerful family background and connections had been built decades ago. Sebastian doubted if even Brandon’s identity could stand a chance against such a man.
“Okay, I have heard all that you said. Now assign a skilled bodyguard to secretly follow Natalie everywhere she goes.” Sebastian’s fingers tightened until his entire arm ached due to the force.
“Make it a female bodyguard.”
“Ha-ha! I have to say that I got more and more to take care of since you got married. Better give me a raise, bro,” Garrett commented jokingly.
Immediately after the call ended, he started searching for a skilled female bodyguard just as Sebastian had ordered. Although there was a battalion of excellent bodyguards, only a few of them were women. It was extremely hard to find the perfect one.
But in the end, a female bodyguard was recommended to him by a professional security organization called Shadow, which specialized in the training of assassins and bodyguards.
Garrett personally went to the provided address to meet her. Some people were on the training ground at this time. The place was brightly lit and equipped with different training objects. About twenty men were sparring with a woman. They were in a stalemate
Garrett’s full attention was on the woman in dark purple tight clothes. She looked very young and thin. Her was slender and she had a delicate appearance. She looked like one of those women that any man would want protect at first glance. None of her features indicated that she was a good fighter.
With a slight frown, Garrett tore off his gaze and looked at the man beside him. “I find it rather appalling that you have sunk this low. Don’t you have a heart? How can you allow twenty men to fight such a delicate woman?”
