Chapter 193
“Where is she?”
“In the car.” Yandel’s brows were furrowed as he went on, “Even though she was saved, she’s not quite stable emotionally.”
“Yandel, you drive.”
“Sure.”
Natalie opened the passenger door of the Maybach and went in.
Wendy curled into herself in a corner of the car as soon as the door opened.
“It’s me.”
Wendy’s tensed body finally loosened up when she saw Natalie.
Yandel’s blazer was draped over her but her ripped clothes were still visible. Moreover, there was an obvious palm print on her face.
“Why?”
Wendy sounded like she was directing the question at Natalie, but also like she was directing the question at herself.
“I just wanted to earn money to treat my father… Why is it so hard?”
Natalie felt like she was looking at her old self from six years ago when she looked at Wendy.
She only wanted to take good care of her sister, Yara, because that was her mother’s last wish. In order to make it up to her mother, Natalie tried her best to treat Yara well, but what she got in return was a betrayal that cost her her own life.
“Because you’re a pushover.”
“You?” Wendy’s eyes met Natalie’s.
“Am I wrong?” There was a cold light glistening in Natalie’s eyes. “The weaker you
are, the more you’ll get bullied in this world. If you want to change, the only way is for you to become stronger. So strong, in fact, that no one dares to lay a finger on you and your loved ones…”
She had been working so hard these past five years to make herself become stronger.
Wendy stared at Natalie’s side profile.
Aside from those alluring eyes, there was basically nothing charming about her face. Nevertheless, Wendy was attracted by her stunning, powerful aura.
“I can help you twice, but I don’t know if I can help you anymore.” Natalie paused before adding, “Besides, there’s no point for me to help you. Unless you’re one of my people, then…”
Wendy was stunned upon hearing those words. In the blink of an eye, she made up her mind.
“I want to become one of your people.”
She knew nothing about the woman, yet she was willing to believe her.
“Alright, let me introduce myself again.” Natalie reached out her hand. “Natalie Nichols. I want to sign you up as Dream Entertainment’s first celebrity.”
Wendy nodded and shook her hand.
“I’m Wendy Xander. A third-year student from Dellmoor Dance Academy.”
Yandel sent the both of them back home as it was getting late.
Before bidding him farewell, Natalie gave him orders to ensure Wendy’s protection for the time being
After all, some rich men would undoubtedly still follow her around, unable to forget about their prey.
It had been a tiring night.
Although she just signed a great candidate, Wendy, she still had not managed to get the dragonblood fruit yet.
Furthermore, she had to deal with the bigger headache that was Christopher.
The kids should be asleep by now since it’s so late already.
Natalie opened the door using her keys only to see a night light still switched on in the living room.
Xavian was staring at a laptop screen as he sat in a corner of the couch.
Natalie was about to pinch his ears and question him as to why he wasn’t yet asleep when she glanced at the computer screen.
Her jaw fell open in shock.
Xavian turned around and asked, “Mommy, this woman who’s playing the piano… It’s you, right?”
“W-Where did you find this video?”
“On the Internet, of course,” he answered. “Mommy, this video has been trending since it was uploaded. Everyone’s talking about it. It’s already been reposted ten thousand times.”
