Chapter 861 Going Bankrupt
Oliver had a very bad temper.
Helen saw that Natalie was not joking, unwillingly glanced at Natalie, then turned and left.
Natalie leaned against the door frame and laughed.
She look at Helen, pretending to care about Natalie, wanting to repair some relationship with Natalie, and help Susan in the process, but this pretense was very insincere.
If there was even a bit of sincerity, she should have inquired about Natalie's pregnancy.
Standing here with a pregnant belly, Helen seemed to be selectively blind.
It must not be that she couldn't see, but rather that she simply didn't care.
"Why is it taking so long?"
In the VIP lounge, Oliver had already stood up, looking a bit impatient. If Natalie didn't come out soon, he would go in to find her.
"A pregnant woman moves slowly." Natalie glared at him, seemingly saying: It's your fault! You have no right to say I'm slow.
Whose fault was it that Natalie is pregnant after all!
Oliver was taken aback for a moment, wisely choosing to change the subject: "Let's go, we can board now."
"Okay." Natalie habitually cradled her pregnant belly with her right hand, with her left arm linked with Oliver's, while the luggage was taken care of by the bodyguard.
As they walked out of the VIP lounge, Natalie subconsciously glanced back.
With keen insight, Oliver naturally didn't miss this small gesture from Natalie.
He discreetly signaled to Jamie, who immediately understood and headed towards the direction of the restroom.
Shortly after takeoff, Natalie felt drowsy and went to rest.
Jamie approached Oliver quietly and said, "Oliver, Helen came looking for Natalie just now."
Oliver narrowed his eyes.
"What did Helen say?"
"I couldn't find that out." Jamie thought for a moment and said, "It could be either wanting Natalie to acknowledge Helen as her mother or hoping Natalie will get Susan out."
"Helen has quite a lot on her mind!"
Oliver recalled the words Helen had said at the old mansion yesterday, and the image of Natalie sitting on the sofa late at night, looking puzzled and innocent, asking him if she was a failure as a daughter, as a descendant of the family. His Honey had always been confident, yet she had been made insecure by those people from Helen's circle.
As Oliver thought of all this, his face darkened.
"Go warn Helen," Oliver said.
"Understood."
Natalie was not of unknown origin; the news of her being the Miss of the Hastings family was already a public secret in the upper circles domestically.
Those heard that Natalie had visited the Hastings family in Tycoon City to pay respects to the late Emma.
Smart people knew that such a visit was not someone an outsider could do.
Since Natalie had visited the Hastings family's old mansion, it was natural to assume she went there as the heiress of the Hastings family.
However, everyone waited for a long time without the Hastings family announcing Natalie's status.
At a banquet, someone who was well-connected privately asked Wyatt, "Wyatt, do you know what's going on between the Hastings family and Natalie?"
Wyatt smiled and said, "Nothing could be wrong; isn't the Hastings family's heiress, Susan in prison? It has nothing to do with Natalie."
Later, someone asked Isaac Black a similar question.
Isaac Black immediately sneered, "The Hastings family? They are not worthy to be Natalie's relatives."
Of course, they weren't!
Susan's past actions towards Natalie were no secret, and the Hastings family's protection of Susan was clear. Those in the know even heard that Mrs. Hastings, Helen, had done quite a few excessive things to Natalie.
For a Hastings family that had hurt Natalie so much, it was understandable that they wouldn't acknowledge her as a member of the family!
At that moment, everyone tacitly began to distance themselves from the members of the Hastings family.
After finishing her prenatal yoga and taking a shower, Natalie saw a message from Samuel.
"Natalie, Oliver is driving me to bankruptcy!”
Samuel even sent a special emoji.
This was the first message Samuel had sent her since Natalie returned from the Hastings family.
Samuel, a member of the Hastings family, seemed quite idle, sending her one or two messages every day for no reason.
Natalie had never replied to Samuel before, but Samuel didn't seem to mind.
She knew that Samuel was trying to improve their relationship.
Even the content of his nonsense seemed carefully considered, never mentioning the Hastings family again, and not calling her sister, but Natalie.
[?] Natalie replied to Samuel's first message after returning from the Hastings family.
Samuel: [Shocked! I actually added the wrong account?]
So, Samuel was really asking for trouble.
Natalie: [The owner of the wrong account is considering unfriending you.]
This was a warning to Samuel, to be careful not to get deleted!
Samuel: [Why don't you learn to be as cunning as Oliver, instead of learning his bad temper?]
Samuel was not happy; how could his good sister learn bad habits from Oliver?!
Samuel had specifically checked, and the external evaluations of Natalie were all super consistent: gentle, protective, as long as you didn't provoke her, she had a super good temper.
Hadn't Samuel provoked Natalie? Why was she being so rude to him?
Samuel pushed the contract on the desk aside, intending to lecture Natalie. After typing a long paragraph, he clicked.
[System prompt: You are no longer friends with the other party]
Samuel was puzzled.
Half an hour later, Natalie finally unblocked Samuel.
Samuel: [Natalie is meant to be pampered. I'm not worthy of lecturing her!]
Oliver returned from work and accompanied Natalie to the home theater to watch a musical.
Oliver wasn't particularly obsessed with prenatal education. He had seen too many cases where people took it seriously but ended up with a spoiled child.
However, Oliver was very interested in watching musicals and stage plays with Natalie.
"Oliver, are you targeting the Hastings family?" Natalie asked Oliver as they left the home theater room.
Oliver walked beside her, looking at her sideways, his eyes saying: The Hastings family is not worth my attention.
Oliver couldn't stand the Hastings family, and he had indeed targeted them before, but this time, he hadn't done anything.
There was no need for Oliver to intervene.
"Samuel said he's being driven to bankruptcy by you," Natalie said as they climbed the stairs. "Natalie rarely takes the elevator at home now; more exercise will help with childbirth in the future."
Natalie added, "Although I don't think Samuel looks like he's going bankrupt."
"Samuel is just pretending to be pitiful; don't be fooled," Oliver said, then added disdainfully, "He's in his thirties and still finds it disgusting."
