"I'll stay in Jerovania for a few more days before returning. I'm tired now! Arrange a place for me to stay; I need to rest!" Christine tilted her head slightly, speaking to Natalie in an authoritative tone. Her face showed signs of fatigue, but her eyes showed undeniable authority."Yes, I've already booked a five-star hotel for you, maybe..." Natalie said cautiously, but before she could finish, Christine interrupted."No, I'll stay at your place!" Christine said without hesitation, her tone firm."My place?" After a brief shock, Natalie was momentarily stunned but overwhelmed with joy. If she spread this news, she could practically walk sideways in Jerovania. After all, Christine's influence wasn't just limited to the Chronos Group. Behind Christine was the Rothschilds family, the top financial conglomerate, and their wealth was no joke.Countless thoughts rushed through Natalie's mind. She could almost see herself commanding respect in Jerovania's business wo

On Daniel's side, Natalie sat at the edge of the bed, visibly nervous. Her hands gripped the sheets tightly, and her eyes darted toward Daniel now and then. Her mind was on edge, unsure of what would happen next.Natalie's heart raced, pounding so hard it felt like it might leap out of her throat. She bit her lip, trying to calm herself, but beads of sweat still formed on her forehead. The room was eerily quiet, so silent that Natalie could hear her rapid breathing.When Daniel shifted slightly, his arm lifting unconsciously, Natalie let out a sharp scream. The sound was jarring in the room's stillness."What... what are you doing?" Natalie's voice was guarded, her body jerking backward. Her eyes widened with fear and unease as if Daniel were a predator ready to pounce at any moment.Her breathing grew more erratic, her chest heaving as she clung to the headboard. Her hands flailed in the air as though trying to ward off any potential threat.Daniel couldn't

"Ms. Rothschilds, there's a banquet tonight at the Clark family estate. Would you like to dress up for it?" Natalie cautiously approached Christine, speaking softly with a flattering smile. Her eyes filled with anticipation. For this banquet, she had already arranged for staff to set up the event in the Clark family courtyard, which was spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of guests."It doesn't matter! I'll wear Daniel's clothes!" Christine waved her hand dismissively, her eyes still glued to the TV screen, not glancing at Natalie.Natalie's smile instantly froze. She hadn't expected Christine to respond like this."This... this won't do, Ms. Rothschilds. Those are men's clothes, unsuitable for such an occasion," Natalie tried to persuade Christine to change her mind.Christine frowned, a hint of impatience in her voice. "If I say it's fine, then it's fine. Stop nagging!"Natalie had no choice but to shut her mouth, inwardly groaning. She had envisioned

"Daniel, I will never forgive you! I will be back!" Yara screamed at the top of her lungs, her eyes filled with deep-seated hatred for Daniel. Her gaze was as sharp as a thousand knives as if she wanted to tear him apart."What does that have to do with me?" Daniel shrugged indifferently, his expression nonchalant. "It's not like I killed him."Daniel's attitude was dismissive as if Yara's threats were nothing more than background noise to him.But Yara was beyond listening. Her heart was consumed by losing her son and her hatred for Daniel. She quickly left with her people, her figure disappearing from everyone's sight.Natalie gave Christine a deep look, her heart filled with shock and envy. She hadn't expected the seemingly delicate Christine to possess such formidable martial skills, striking precisely and ending Alex's life in a single move. She couldn't help but fantasize about what it would be like to be a top-tier fighter. If she were, she wouldn't have t

Back in Jerovania, the banquet had ended, and Rose and Shirley had returned home.Christine lounged lazily on the sofa, her body sinking into the soft cushions. Her delicate face showed clear signs of exhaustion. If it weren't for Daniel, she wouldn't have bothered attending such a dull banquet or dealing with all the insincere socializing.Seeing this, Natalie quickly and carefully poured a cup of tea for Christine, handing it over respectfully with both hands.Christine lifted her eyelids, glancing at Natalie, and said slowly, "You did very well today.""Thank you for the praise, Ms. Rothschilds!" Natalie quickly bowed in gratitude, her face showing a mix of surprise and delight, though inwardly, she was thrilled.Natalie's eyes were filled with gratitude and respect as she continued, "It's an honor to receive your recognition. If there were any shortcomings today, I hope you can forgive me."Christine took a small sip of tea, closing her eyes slightl
