Upon hearing Penney's words, Yvonne's eyes turned gloomy.
She had worked hard in the entertainment industry for a very long time, only to find out in the end that her effort was all for naught. The only way it could work out for her was if she had an influential sponsor.
If Jenkins liked her, he could make her a star.
However, if he didn't like her, he could also turn her career into dust.
"Penney, tell me, when will I be able to not rely on a man to make a name for myself in the entertainment industry, instead of having all my efforts be in vain simply because I provoked a man?" mumbled Yvonne.
Penney patted Yvonne's shoulder. "Yvonne, don't think too much of it for now. You haven't grown enough yet to spread your wings and fly on your own. Wait until the time is ripe, then you can think about making a name for yourself."
"When the time is ripe, then there will be nothing to hold me back?" A thought flashed through Yvonne's mind.
Penney nodded and said, "Of course, but first, you must have the capital to do so. Everything has to wait until then."
Yvonne's mood instantly improved a little after hearing what Penney said.
In a quiet cafe.
Natalie spent an hour telling Yvonne about her parents.
It wouldn't have taken over an hour, but Natalie's thoughts were very scattered, so she had to keep piecing together various bits and pieces of information.
Within this one hour, Yvonne gradually recovered from extreme shock back to her normal composure.
Yvonne felt that in the past few days, she had gotten totally new experiences.
Tobias, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly came back to life. It even involved some high tech gizmo like an explosion-proof cabin. Yvonne felt like she had just watched a Hollywood action film.
Right then, Natalie was explaining her bizarre identity.
Not to mention, it was an extraordinary kind of bizarre...
Yvonne felt that it was even more thrilling than a
novel.
She even suspected that it was fake.
However, she then remembered that Natalie and Tobias's love story was even more thrilling, yet it was a true story.
Hence, Natalie's birth story might not necessarily be fake.
She licked her dry lips and said, "Natalie, it's been so many years. Don't be too upset about it; it's all in the past."
Natalie's background was indeed quite pitiful. Her father was shot to death, and her mother committed suicide by a gunshot to the mouth. However, Natalie had never experienced all of it in person, after all. Besides, many years had passed since then.
Natalie's lips were a little pale.
She took a sip of coffee.
She had purposely ordered a sugar- free americano. It tasted bitter.
"Yvonne, I really don't understand why Tobias was in such a hurry to bring me back. He didn't even take my side. I asked him to bring me back to North Europe but he disagreed. He also refused to help me find the army officer who shot my father. He wasn't like this before," said Natalie, perplexed.
Tobias used to be on her side unconditionally.
Yvonne looked astonished.
Honestly, she didn't understand why Tobias was acting like this either.
"Natalie, did you perhaps misunderstand him again?" Yvonne looked cautiously at Natalie.
Natalie shook her head and said, "How could I? What could I possibly misunderstand this time? He even risked his life for me, why would I think otherwise of him? I'm just curious as to why he did what he did."
Yvonne pondered on it.
After a moment, she stated her perspective. "Natalie, perhaps he didn't want you to return to North Europe because he didn't want you to be fixated on vengeance. In the same vein, he refused to look for the army officer for you because he didn't want you to be swallowed by hatred and pain. The officer was only carrying out his duty, after all. He didn't have any personal vendetta against your father, which is why Tobias doesn't want to dwell on this."
