Chapter 1146 More And More Confusing
Life went on without any problems arising. Time passed in the blink of an eye, and soon, half a month was gone. It seemed peaceful, but no one knew what was lurking under the still waters.
Dream Corporation and the Leitz family signed an order for a bulk purchase of rough stones. Helma reported the matter to Geert. After raking his gaze across the contract, Geert praised, “Helma, you’ve done well.”
However, there was no smile on Helma’s face as she uttered, “This is just my duty.” Ever since Geert had slapped Helma, the feelings of familial love she had for Geert had dissipated.
If Helma used to be the beloved princess, then now, she was a princess who had taken off her crown, as well as her elegance and pride. No one could figure out what was going on in her mind anymore.
Helma once believed in her family, but that was no longer the case—she now trusted no one but herself. “Helma, are you still angry with me?”
“I don’t have a good memory,” she said in a flat tone. “When did that happen again?” Geert was initially stunned by her response, but he soon laughed. “Helma, you’ve grown mature.”

“Is that so?” Helma answered nonchalantly. “I don’t think I’ve matured enough yet.” As if a kind father, Geert patted Helma’s shoulder.
“Take your time.”
Despite his words, Helma curled her lips slightly as feelings of disgust rose in her chest.
“Helma, I know that you still despise Natalie…” Geert started, his hand still on Helma’s shoulder. “But Natalie has a unique identity, and you can’t lay a finger on her unless you have a good reason to do so. Do you hear me?”
Helma sneered inwardly.
A unique identity? Are you sure Natalie hasn’t cast a spell over you?
Those words of Geert were words that Helma Leitz could not believe in anymore. To her, the supposed uniqueness of Natalie was just a cover for Geert’s perversion.
