Yvonne picked up a shrimp for Natalie and said, "Natalie, don't be sad. You must be happy, so that your father will be happy in heaven too. Otherwise, he would be upset seeing you like this."
Natalie's breathing hitched for a moment.
After a while, she grinned and nodded.
"Natalie, what about Queenie? Is she dead for good?" Yvonne subtly changed the subject after a while.
"She's dead." Natalie's voice was laced with hatred. "She's turned into dust."
Perhaps even the heavens didn't want someone as evil as Queenie to continue living, so they let James accidentally receive news that Queenie had a hidden explosion-proof cabin on the ship.
Queenie got what she deserved.
"Good riddance." Yvonne gritted her teeth at the mention of Queenie. "A woman like her belongs in the depths of hell. Death is too light of a punishment for her. She's rotten to the core."
Natalie continued, "Yvonne, let's not talk about her. Besides, she's already dead. Let's just treat her as if she never existed."
Yvonne really didn't mention Queenie anymore.
The two of them remained silent for a long time, eating their own food.
It was getting late. By the time they finished their meal, it was completely dark outside.
Natalie looked out of the window and said, "Yvonne, I should go home now."
Yvonne stood up and said, "I'll send you home."
"I have a chauffeur waiting for me."
Yvonne deliberately teased Natalie, saying, "I forgot that you're the wife of the YS Group's president now, Natalie. There's no way that you would need me to send you home, right?"
Natalie smiled as she glared at Yvonne. "Don't make fun of me."
The two of them went downstairs and walked out of the shopping mall.
When it was time to say goodbye, Yvonne suddenly hugged Natalie and said, "Natalie, you've suffered a lot this time, but fortunately it's all over now. Tobias has woken up too. The both of you have been through so many hardships, surely you'll get to enjoy happiness, so much that it'll overflow."
Yvonne's blessings caused Natalie to feel a myriad of emotions.
She said in a soft yet assertive tone, "Yvonne, don't worry. The same goes for you, you'll be happy too. The both of us will be happy."
Happy...
A hint of confusion appeared in Yvonne's eyes.
Where would her happiness come from?
Shortly after Natalie went to the United States, Yvonne finally got some work to do at a modelling show.
In that event, Yvonne, who hadn't worked for a long time, was isolated. Even Rosalin had come.
At the show, Rosalin mocked Yvonne in all sorts of ways.
At that moment, Yvonne suddenly felt once more that everything didn't matter.
She had come to learn a lot because of what had happened to Natalie.
Many things had become less important in her eyes.
However, when Rosalin mocked her, Yvonne knew that she had been wrong.
She couldn't let go of it, she couldn't remain indifferent to it.
She still longed for success, to climb all the way to the top of the entertainment industry.
Tortured by various mixed emotions, Yvonne had sent a text message to Jenkins.
Jenkins did not answer.
Yvonne even wondered whether she should muster the courage to look for him.
"Yvonne, what are you thinking about?" Natalie could not help but ask when she saw her absentminded expression.
Yvonne instantly came back to her senses.
Smiling, she said, "It's nothing, I suddenly zoned out. By the way, weren't you going to go home? You should go now; absence makes the heart grow fonder. Your dear Mr. Whitlock has been unconscious for so long and has finally woken up, surely the both of you can't stand being apart for even a single day."
Natalie's face was burning red.
Yvonne was right. Right now, she and Tobias constantly felt like being together every single moment. They were happy to just stare at each other all day long.
