After the Divorce, CEO Realizes He’s the Stand-In Lover

Chapter 157

Chapter 157 Control the Future of the Graham Family

Natalie curled her lips and said, “I appreciate your straightforward temperament.”

“Then we’ll have a deal. You help restore the funding chain for the Lance family… “As she spoke, Natalie suddenly recalled something.

Her eyelashes twitched lightly, “You won’t break your promise, right?”

“Of course!” the dean of Hazel International Hospital responded with a bold tone, “Do I look like someone who doesn’t keep his word?”

Because he happened to meet Dr. Nancy’s assistant, his mood elevated a lot, and he even spoke

with a bit more enthusiasm.

“Please don’t worry, Miss Spears! I’ll restore the financial chain of the Lance family today!” It was just a piece of cake for him.

A simple action to gain such a powerful partner, it was a steady profitable business.

Natalie nodded with a smile on her face.

Linda looked at Natalie with a complex expression. She finally managed to free herself from the complex emotions she had just experienced.

She was not feeble-minded.

She could see that Natalie had been avoiding her questions, and if she wasn’t feeling guilty, why

wouldn’t she refuse to answer her questions?

After all, as the wife of the Graham family for so long, she had seen all kinds of scenes, big and

small.

She had even attended many banquets of the major families in New York. Maintaining decorum in

social settings is the most fundamental. Even though her inner turmoil may be significant, she

must maintain a calm demeanour.

Linda regained a hint of calmness as she watched Natalie standing by and carefully observed her

every move.

Natalie, who was currently chatting with the dean of Hazel International Hospital, was completely

different from when she was staying with the Graham family.

She spoke with a calm demeanour and appropriate wording.

Even in front of someone as serious and imposing as the president of Hazel International Hospital,

Natalie still maintained a sharp attitude and was not afraid at all.

Even Linda could see her shining edge from their communication….

Linda suddenly had a mixed feeling in her heart and she even felt a little unfamiliar with Natalie.

Although she knew that Natalie was practical, she did not expect Natalie to be so capable.

She was Dr. Nancy’s assistant… That was Dr. Nancy, the top pharmaceutical doctor in the world, someone that the Graham family couldn’t even think of. Natalie was her assistant……

Linda worked hard to accept this fact.

Spending time with such a mighty person every day… Under the intangible but great influence of Dr. Nancy, Natalie may also be powerful.

Moreover, Natalie was something of a prodigy. Plus, following Dr. Nancy to conduct experiments every day polished her ability. It was not surprising that Natalie could exude this kind of temperament in front of people now.

Originally, Natalie was more excellent than Niki, and now she was Dr. Nancy’s assistant. She was many times better than that Niki!

“Thank you very much for your kind help. This is a bit urgent. If you could help handle it as soon as possible, that would be great.”

Natalie said seriously. Although there was a urging tone in her words, it did not bring a sense of

pressure.

“No problem!” the dean of Hazel International Hospital replied readily, “If there’s anything else I can help with, just give me a shout.”

It was a God-given opportunity that Dr. Nancy’s assistant to owe him a favour. He must firmly

grasp it.

It was best to make Natalie owe him more favour!

Julian stood by without saying a word, quietly watching everything.

The bright smile on Natalie’s face at the moment was truly dazzling in his eyes.

“That’s all I request. I can’t thank you enough for helping me with this matter,” said Natalie smilingly with a genial tone.

After saying this sentence, she noticed the other man’s gaze. She initially wanted to ignore it but the man’s gaze was too focused, and Natalie couldn’t avoid it at all.

She turned expressionless and said, “What brings Mr. Graham to Hazel International Hospital

today?”

“Did I delay your work?” Otherwise, why would he keep staring at her with such frosty eyes?

Julian sneered, what a wise question!

She was aware of what she was doing, and doing so was like completely losing the credibility of the Graham family in front of Hazel International Hospital.

The loss of such a large partner by the Graham family was great. Wasn’t Natalie hateful of the Graham family? Didn’t she want to ruin the Graham family?

Julian’s eyes were icy.

Good, her goal had been achieved.

Natalie looked at Julian as his gaze grew colder and colder. Even a few times his eyes darkened slightly. He was suppressing his emotions.

“Mr. Graham, if you have anything to say, just say it.”

She was feeling uncomfortable being gazed at by him like that.

“Don’t suppress it in your heart and not speak.”

The director of Hazel International Hospital had been immersed in the glee when he heard Natalie suddenly ask Julian. It was only then that he remembered the mother and son of the Graham family were standing on the side.

“Mrs. Graham, what are you up to today?”

“If you have something to say, just say it now.” The dean of Hazel International Hospital kept stroking his beard.

“Anyways, Natalie is a member of your family, and there’s nothing to worry about.”

Upon hearing this, Natalie couldn’t help but glance up at the dean. It proved that tangible benefits indeed worked well. After gaining what he desired, this guy could say anything.

How could she be a member of the Graham family? She was about to divorce the son of the Graham family and didn’t want to hear anything about the Graham family anymore.

Linda didn’t seem to hear anything unusual. As the dean questioned, she recollected that she was there to negotiate the collaboration with the Hazel International Hospital.

She took back all the emotions in her heart just now.

“So, I’ll just be blunt. I came to talk with you about the incident where Julian came to you with fake authorization. That incident was indeed a misunderstanding.”

“Just now Julian brought it up,” Linda said seriously. “I was still hoping that the Hazel International Hospital could give the Graham family a chance.”

Graham’s business had been procrastinating for a long time since the authorization expired. If it continued like that, the Graham family would be confronted with bankruptcy… If it weren’t for the urgency of the situation, she wouldn’t have brought Julian to Hazel International Hospital.

After listening to Linda, the dean looked thoughtful.

Linda looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.

After some seconds, he opened his mouth, “But just now Miss Spears said she didn’t authorize the,

Graham family, did she?”

“Dr. Nancy didn’t give authorization, how could the Graham family possibly get it? Doesn’t that

mean the Graham family lied?”

Linda’s eyelashes trembled. She was again shocked.

“Did Natalie say that?!” She was just immersed in her thoughts and didn’t hear what Natalie had

said for a moment. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

The dean of Hazel International Hospital nodded and said word by word, “Miss Spears just said it

herself.”

Linda was stunned.

“Natalie, what are you talking about? Didn’t you authorize the Graham family?”

Linda looked at Natalie in a daze, her eyes seemed very incredulous.

How could Natalie say that?? Did she want to destroy her family? Did she completely abandon her affection for the Graham family in the past days?

Natalie’s words were blocked. She looked at Linda’s reproachful gaze, her heart struggling again.

Even for the first time, she felt at a loss and didn’t know what to do.

Did she want to watch the Graham family fall into crisis and eventually go bankrupt?

If the Graham family went bankrupt in the end, it could even be said that it was all caused by her…

did she want to do this?

The thoughts popped up in Natalie’s mind. The future of the Graham family was in her hands now.

Linda spoke anxiously, “Natalie, why are you lying?”

“Do you hate our family to this extent? I know Julian did something wrong. He treated you badly

and it’s unfair to you.”

“He even took Niki…..

As soon as Niki’s name was mentioned, Julian’s eyes became noticeably colder.

Linda ignored Julian’s gaze and continued, “It’s his fault to bring Niki without your consent.'”

“You’ve done so much for the Graham family but Julian still treats you like this… the Graham family

even kicked you out in front of so many people……”

“These are all done by the Graham family. It’s right for you to hate the Graham family.”

Natalie closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath, “Please stop.”

“Natalie, it’s the Graham family who’s sorry for you.” Linda seemed as if she hadn’t heard of it and spoke sincerely, ” But……”

“Please stop saying this!”

Natalie raised her voice and interrupted Linda. With a fierce heart, she spoke directly and said in a

resolute tone, “I should go now.”

She picked up her bag and turned round to leave.
