Peter had just recalled the girl's face.
Although they only met once, Natalie left a deep impression on him.
Initially, he did not like her very much. But later, he found that she was a rather decent girl.
Unfortunately, he found out later on that she was involved in an affair with Tobias while dating Remington.
The good impression that he had for her instantly shattered.
A woman who got herself romantically entangled with two brothers could never be good news.
Peter sighed in disappointment.
He could still remember the girl's doe- like, innocent eyes, as clear as spring water.
His eyes flashed.
A bad woman could never fake such an innocent look on her face.
Peter pursed his lips and massaged his temples as his mind churned in confusion.
After a while, he instructed Mr. Lee to investigate Natalie's current location and movements.
It didn't take long for Mr. Lee to find out the information required.
The findings from Mr. Lee's investigation shocked Peter.
Remington had gotten into an accident, and he almost died in the Amazon Jungle.
Fortunately, he was alright now. Meanwhile, Natalie had been taking care of him in the hospital.
A frown creased Peter's brows.
Whatever little fondness he had left of her had completely vanished.
He wondered why his grandson, as smart as a fox, would suddenly go to the Amazon Jungle. His senses told him that it must have had something to do with Natalie.
Besides, Tobias had just said that Natalie was his woman. So, she was undoubtedly currently in a relationship with Tobias.
But if she was together with Tobias, why would she take care of Remington in the hospital?
Natalie was really something else!
Natalie raked a frustrated hand through her hair.
Her meeting with Tobias that night bothered her.
She couldn't sleep at all. So, she kept pacing up and down the hallway outside the ward.
Benjamin couldn't stand this anymore. He came out of the ward and urged her, "Miss Godfrey, you should go rest."
He gestured at the room nearby. The hospital had specially prepared a single room each for Natalie and Benjamin to rest.
Natalie nodded half-heartedly and shuffled inside.
The room was not big, but it was fully equipped with whatever they needed.
Natalie tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
The image of Tobias staring intently at her kept haunting her.
His handsome face was a little pale, and although expressionless, his eyes had betrayed the depth of his emotions. He stared at her with all intensity in the world as if she was the only person in the universe.
She could still clearly remember the faint shadow that cast over Tobias's eyes as she spat out the hurtful insults. He seemed dejected.
Although it had appeared on his face for only a split second, it did not go unnoticed by Natalie. It made her heart twinge in pain.
She knew that she owed him an explanation.
An explanation for why she suddenly broke up with him.
Yet, she didn't know how to tell him.
She found it too difficult to start the conversation.
She really couldn't do it.
At the same time, the look in Tobias's eyes made her feel extremely guilty.
Natalie's thoughts were a mess. In the end, she got up from the bed.
Reaching for her handbag, she fumbled for her phone.
After hesitating for some time, she dialed Yvonne's number. To her surprise, the call couldn't get through.
She tried calling again, but even after several tries, it still failed to ring.
Yvonne's phone was about to explode. It was buzzing nonstop on the table, bombarded with hundreds of text messages. Overwhelmed, she muted her phone and ignored the incoming messages.
She could not believe that Jenkins had done such a thing.
