Chapter 342 Impossible In This Lifetime
Back then, Gerald was the one who saved Natalie from being burnt alive.
As such, he knew about the feud between Natalie and the Bayer family better than anyone else.
After some consideration, he nodded and firmly stated, “Don’t worry, Natalie. I will settle this matter for you.”
They continued to chat for a while before parting ways.
After Natalie left, Effie was still in shock. It seemed incredible no matter how hard she thought about it.
Such situations only happen in novels. I can’t believe it actually happens in real life!
What made Effie admire Natalie more was the latter’s professionalism. Natalie was a natural-born beauty, yet, she willingly wore an ugly hyper-realistic mask to conceal it. Ignoring everyone’s criticism and disdain, she continued to strive hard to focus on work.
“Grandpa, she’s so cool!” Effie murmured.
“She’s more impressive than you know,” Gerald replied, nodding his head in agreement. “Men can rely on their physical strength if they aren’t clever enough. In contrast, women have a disadvantage concerning it. Although Natalie is a woman, she has more brawn and brains compared to most men. In fact, she is as courageous as any man!”
“Grandpa, it would be nice if I’m as capable as her,” Effie stated in amazement.
In response, Gerald commented, “I doubt you’ll be able to be like her in this lifetime…”
Annoyed, Effie whined, “Grandpa!”
Gerald simply fell silent and stared at the moon from his window.
To wear a crown, one must bear its weight.
He knew his granddaughter could never handle the pain and hatred Natalie had gone through. After all, Effie grew up pampered with lots of love.
Three days later, Yara accompanied Kenneth to watch an opera.
The performance was focused on the patriotic acts of heroes who fought during troubled times. While Kenneth watched it with delight, Yara’s mind was somewhere else.
Even when Kenneth served her some tea, she reacted a tad late.
“Yara.”
Kenneth called her name multiple times.
“Yara!”
