Chapter 1304 High Hopes
Natalie lay on the bed, constantly thinking about what Violette had said.
Bayview Villa only had Adrian at first, but with Natalie's arrival, it wasn't so lonely anymore.
Originally, Natalie was the first lady of the house.
Natalie quickly fell asleep.
During the days of filming in Suncrest City, she had been sleeping lightly. Staying in an unfamiliar place always made it hard to fall asleep.
Back home, in a familiar and safe place, plus a night on the plane, she quickly fell asleep.
The next day, Natalie woke up naturally.
When she woke up, it was already 10 AM.
Natalie went downstairs, and Violette was cleaning the living room.
"Mrs. Howard, Mr. Howard went to the company. Before he left, he said you were too tired last night and told me not to disturb you. He also asked me to prepare breakfast for you and mentioned that tonight you'll be dining together at the Howard Mansion."
"Isn't today Saturday? Does the Howard Group work on Saturdays?"
Natalie went to the dining room, and Violette brought over the seafood porridge that was simmering on low heat.
"I don't really understand business matters, but Mr. Adrian Howard has been quite busy lately. It seems…"
Violette, being a servant, wasn't supposed to talk much about the Howard family's affairs, but looking at Natalie, she couldn't help but say, "The second son of the Howard family, Donte, has come back."
"It seems Mr. Ruben Howard intends for Donte to take over one of the subsidiaries, the Skybright Real Estate Group of the Howard Group."
The Howard Group has many subsidiaries, and the most profitable one is the real estate group.
And this hottest Skybright Real Estate Group was given to Donte?
"I don't understand much else. I just occasionally overheard Mr. Adrian Howard's video conference topics while cleaning. I didn't mean to eavesdrop; it just happened while I was sweeping. Mr. Adrian Howard didn't avoid me either."
"It seems that Skybright Real Estate Group is about to launch a new project, located in the prime area of Vachilit, backed by Whispering Peak but with convenient transportation."
"Whispering Peak is only open to these residents. It's said to be one of the most luxurious villa projects in all of Vachilit, and this year's scale is quite large."
Such a big project was given to Donte.
Although Adrian manages the Howard Group, giving the most profitable subsidiary to Donte, Natalie understood that this was Ruben's way of trying to be fair.
Even though Donte didn't get the position of president of the Howard Group, being given the most profitable subsidiary showed that Ruben had high hopes for him.
What surprised Natalie was that Donte had returned to Vachilit from the southern subsidiary.
Natalie had met this second son of the Howard family a few times and only remembered that he had a pair of delicate, beautiful eyes that were somewhat intimidating. She didn't have a good impression of him.
The last time she saw him was at the wedding.
But there were many people at the wedding, and an incident occurred when Alice caused a scene with a knife.
Because of that, she didn't have any particular impression of the other guests at the wedding.
Natalie finished her breakfast, which was more accurately lunch.
Rocky came to Natalie's feet to play with her.
Natalie teased Rocky for a while, "So Rocky is a boy. Rocky, do you like it here? How about staying here forever? You're still young now. When I finish filming, how about I find you a girlfriend?"
Rocky barked twice.
It seemed to be in response to Natalie's words.
"Rocky is the most lovable. Mrs. Howard, you wouldn't know, but during the days you were away from Vachilit, Ms. Lawson came over several times."
"Each time, Rocky would bite at her. Not enough to hurt her, but he kept biting at Ms. Lawson's clothes. Ms. Lawson is a bit afraid of Rocky now."
