The Scorned Heiress's Hidden Empire (by Jade Quinn) novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111

Her eyes sparkled, full of anticipation and a touch of careful hope

When her turn came, she didn’t shout like the fans before her. Instead, she silently placed her book on the table, took out a folded piece of paper from her pocket, and handed it to Natalie with both hands

Natalie took the paper and unfolded it.

On the paper was a line of neat, delicate handwriting.

[Bluebell, I’m deaf and mute, so I can’t tell you out loud how much I like your work. But Daybreak is my light. Thank you for writing such a wonderful story.]

Natalie finished reading and looked up.

The girl was watching her nervously, her eyes shining with anticipation.

Natalie smiled softly at those hopeful eyes.

She raised her hand, her slender, nimble fingers moving smoothly in the air, signing in sign language.

“You are the light itself.”

The girl was stunned.

Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Natalie’s hands.

Then, her eyes grew teary.

Tears suddenly spilled down her cheeks, rolling down her face.

She never expected Bluebell to know sign language, let alone communicate with her. Overwhelmed, she signed back energetically, her hands trembling with emotion.

The girl signed with her hands, “Thank you! Thank you!”

Natalie picked up her pen, signed “Bluebell” on the title page, and wrote a line beside it

“You are the light itself.”

After signing, she handed the book back.

The girl took the book with both hands, gazed down at the words, then looked up at Natalie with shining

eyes.

She signed with her hands, “I’ll treasure this book forever.”

Natalie nodded and signed back, “Keep going.”

The girl nodded vigorously, hugged the book, and gave a deep bow.

Then she turned and jogged out of the signing area.

In the audience, plenty of fans witnessed the whole thing.

“Was Bluebell signing just now?”

“I think so! She actually knows sign language!”

“Oh my god, what did she write for that girl?”

“I don’t know, but that girl ended up crying…”

“She must’ve been moved to tears…”

Frauchers

Soon, the first batch of fans finished getting their books signed, and Andrew and his group were up next.

Their hearts weighed down with complicated emotions, they slowly made their way to the signing table.

‘Heavy‘ was the only word for it. Their feelings were impossible to put into words.

Finding out the author they’d worshipped for years was actually their own little sister totally blew their minds.

Ryan and Ethan remembered that time in the living room when Natalie said she’d sign their books for them.

Back then, they joked her autograph looked so convincing. Turns out, she was the real deal.

‘So the signature I bragged about was actually legit!

‘Are we total idiots?‘ Ryan thought.

That signature was right there in front of us and we still didn’t realize it!

‘Seriously, we’re such idiots!‘ Ryan thought.

The five of them were in the middle of the line, and with their looks, vibe, and build, they instantly drew everyone’s attention.

Then Jason took off his mask, revealing that face that had made countless girls swoon on screen, completely unhidden.

The fans around them instantly went wild.

“Holy crap! Is that Jason Mitchell?”

“Seriously? Jason Mitchell showed up at the signing too?”

“Oh my god! Even the Best Actor is here fangirling?”

“And the guys with him are hot too! Who are they?”

Someone in the crowd recognized them. “Isn’t that the CEO of the Mitchell Group?”

“Oh my god! All five Mitchell brothers are here?”

“They’re all Bluebell fans!”

“Isn’t the sponsor the Mitchell Group?”

“Bluebell is awesome. Her fans come from all walks of life!”

Ryan blinked, thinking, ‘Is that even the right way to use it?‘

Blake’s message read, “To Blake: Stay safe and may everything go well!”

Andrew’s read, “To Andrew: May you be like a pine tree, evergreen year after year!”

Everyone immediately changed their WhatsApp statuses to these messages.

The five of them reluctantly hugged their books and went back to their seats, never taking their eyes off their little sister as she worked.

Ryan was still marveling, muttering under his breath, “Who would’ve thought? Natalie’s really amazing. I seriously admire her!”

After more than three hours of signing, the last fan finally left the signing area, clutching their book with a satisfied smile.

Natalie set down her pen and gently flexed her wrist.

Even after signing a thousand books, she didn’t look the least bit tired.

The host stepped up to the stage and picked up the microphone.

“Thank you, Bluebell, for your hard work at today’s signing, and thank you all for your patience!

“As the signing event comes to a close, let’s welcome Bluebell to say a few words and wrap up today’s journey!”

Natalie stood up and walked to the center of the stage.

She took the microphone, her gaze sweeping over the fans in the audience who were still reluctant to leave, her eyes gentle.

“Thank you all for coming today,” she said.

Her voice was calm but sincere.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

“Bluebell, we love you!”

“When’s your next book coming out?”

“Natalie, you’re so beautiful!”

Chapter 111

Natalie waited for the applause to die down before she continued.

“I’ve got a little gift for everyone who showed up today!”

Right after she said that, the staff started wheeling in a bunch of big boxes.
