Chapter: 77
“I’m done for.” Chris’s face turned to ash as he watched Jeff leave. It would be fine if Natasha were forgiving and let it slide. But if she were to seek revenge, she could destroy him with just a word!
At the same time, others in the crowd were shocked as well.
“Mr. Lawson, didn’t you say Natasha would come begging after being poisoned? Why does she look fine?”
Edwin’s face darkened as he watched the slim figure on the stage.
“That’s weird. She should not be able to fight it. Could it be that someone had given her the antidote?” Fletcher narrowed his eyes in surprise.
“Huh! Is this the allegedly cureless paison?” Edwin was very dissatisfied. He knew something was wrong from the moment he received the invitation. Now that he had seen Natasha in excellent health, he knew his plant had failed.
“Sir Hummer, accidents happen. No mere doctor is able to cure my polson unless she had someone special by her side.” Fletcher said, deep in thought.
“Someone special? Who?” Edwin furrowed his eyebrows.
“Sir Hummer, did you notice the young man standing next to her before?” Fletcher pointed toward Dustin.
“Do you mean there’s something particular about that guy?” Edwin followed his gaze.
“That’s right. This man has a steady hand and good control of his breath. He looks like he practices medicine,” Fletcher said, nodding his head.
“Is he difficult to deal with?” Edwin took a closer look. He didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. He’s nothing but a gold digger.
“He’s a small fry not even worth mentioning.” Fletcher was very confident.
“Okay. Deal with him quickly. I don’t want any further accidents!” Edwin’s expression softened.
“Don’t worry, Sir Hummer. My two boys will take care of it without a hitch!” Fletcher smiled faintly. He took out his phone and sent a text message.
In contrast to the commotion offstage, Natasha remained very calm.
“Welcome to our company’s grand opening ceremony.”
Natasha held the microphone, her eyes sweeping across the room. Her domineering aura, along with her cold and sharp eyes, were all fitting for her position as a beautiful business prodigy.
“Everyone knows the Harmon family has made a new partner. From today onward, a portion of the Harmon family business will be handed over to said partner.” She looked around and continued, “I believe everyone is curious as to who this partner is. Don’t worry, I’ll reveal the answer soon! Now, let us give a round of applause and invite Ms. Nicholson onto the stage!”
As she finished, Natasha started to clap. Soon after, thunderous applause followed.
“Dahlia! You’re up!” Florence quickly nudged the woman next to her.
Dahlia immediately came back to her senses. Although she was shocked about who Natasha was, she did not have a choice but to proceed now. She took in a deep breath and pretended as if nothing had happened as she walked up the stage.
“Wow! It’s another stunning lady? We’re really blessed today!”
“Both are equally beautiful but with a different flair. I’d be willing to give up ten years of my life just to have both of them in my arms!”
“Shit! What man is worthy of such women?”
