"What solution do you have?" Natalie raised her eyebrow. She was confused. " What is it, Mom? Are you hiding something from me?"
Natalie was stunned because her mother was just an ordinary woman.
After marrying her father, she had always been a housewife. She had never gone to work a single day in her life.
Mrs. Jennings looked into the distance for a few seconds before nodding. "Natalie, I have indeed been hiding something from you. I only didn't tell you because you don’t need to know about this, but if you’re really in danger..."
Natalie stopped her pacing and waited for her mother to finish her sentence.
"Natalie, have you heard of Dean Jennings before?" Mrs. Jennings was afraid that her daughter would not know who the man was, and she pushed on without waiting for a reply. "The owner of MediLove Pharmaceuticals."
Natalie nodded and asked, "You know him? What is your relationship with him? Or... do I have a relationship with him?"
"Natalie, you're so smart. You immediately guessed it. You're Dean Jennings' daughter.
Natalie's body stiffened. She stared at her mother as if she was an alien!
"Back then, when you said you wanted to go abroad to study, I asked him for help. The reason you could get into such a good university was because of his help. He initially wanted to pay for your studies, but I refused. I was afraid that your father would suspect. Later, when you found a job in Bridgedale, he helped out too."
