Chapter 762 You Are Not Mine
With that said, Natalie turned and left without sparing Thomas another glance.
Someone like him already has selfishness carved into his bones. All he has in his mind is power and greed. Nothing else matters to him. There’s nothing for me to save, and there’s no point in me helping him out. I’d rather save a dog in danger. At the very least, a dog is grateful and will know to protect its owner in times of danger.
Natalie had turned away from him without hesitation, and the look Thomas had on his face was darker than the night. Remorse crashed into him like a tidal wave.
If I knew that Natalie was going to be the better twin between the sisters, I would have had Jennie take Yara away instead of Natalie! If she had grown up with me around, I wouldn’t be stuck in this terrible state.
Refusing to admit defeat, Thomas began yelling at Natalie’s retreating figure.
“I have something important to talk to you about! Natalie, I’m your father! I’m your father! How can you do this to me? Aren’t you afraid of karma coming for you if you’re this cruel to your father?”
When Thomas realized that Natalie was still not turning around to look at him, he bellowed in desperation, “Natalie Nichols, do you really think that your mother is someone that great? She was already pregnant with the two of you before she married me. You and your sister were never mine!”
Natalie heard what he said, and she furrowed her brows in response. However, she assumed that his words were the words of a desperate, mad man and that they were meant to agitate her so that she would halt in her tracks. Therefore, she dismissed his words.
Regardless of everything, I’m going to crush the Nichols family and Dexmed Pharmaceutical. This is for Granddad, Mother, and me. If I don’t take revenge for this, I’m a fool!
Natalie then quietly instructed the security guard by the doorway, “If he keeps up with his nonsense, call the cops on him.”
The security guard instantly recognized his company’s beautiful chairwoman. For a moment, he was tranced by her beauty, and he belatedly replied, “Understood.”
“Okay.”
Natalie then took the elevator and went to the highest floor. However, she did not head to the CEO’s office. Instead, she sat in the stairwell by herself.
There were no lights there—only the emergency exit sign weakly illuminated the place.
As she sat on the stairs, she hugged her legs.
Half of her revenge was already executed, and while she was delighted about that, it also felt like someone had scooped out a large part of her heart. Her heart felt empty, and liquid slowly rolled down her cheeks.
She did not want Thomas, but she wanted the love of a father.
If Thomas had not been so selfish, Natalie wondered if she would have had a happy childhood and if her relationship with Yara would not have turned foul.
Natalie was not a ruthless character, but Thomas and Yara forced her to become one.
Nevertheless, by then, there was no way back. No matter how many obstacles were in her way, she had to steel herself and keep moving forward. In the past, it was for her revenge, but now, it was for her belief.
Once she was done crying, Natalie came out of the stairwell. No traces of vulnerability was visible on her face, and she threw herself into her work again.
In the CEO’s office, Yandel reported to Natalie the arrangements made for the acquisition of Dexmed Pharmaceutical.
Natalie read the documents as she listened to his report. In the end, she said, “I’m fine with the arrangements. However, I’d suggest making Ross the CEO of Dexmed Pharmaceutical’s branch company while retaining his current position. In other words, he’ll be fully taking over the management of Dexmed Pharmaceutical.”
Ross stiffened. Even though Dexmed Pharmaceutical was suffering from a poor reputation at that moment, it was still a major company. Letting him manage the company meant that she saw him as an important member of the company despite the fact that he had only been working for Natalie for less than a year.
“I…” Ross adjusted his glasses.
Noticing his hesitation, Yandel patted his shoulders and uttered, “You should just heed the boss’ arrangements. It’s not as if you don’t know how important Dexmed Pharmaceutical is to Boss. If she’s going to let you manage it, it means that you have her complete trust. Ross, what you should do is return Dexmed Pharmaceutical to its previous glorious state instead of trying to reject Natalie’s suggestion.”
