Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Do you mean to ruin the Graham Family, Natalie?

Natalie carefully observed the expression of the dean of Hazel International Hospital when he was speaking. Unlike before, she was patient to listen to him and felt self-assured.

“I want you to help restore the financial chain of the Lance family,” said Natalie, who was not planning to beat around the bush and spoke out her demands directly.

Upon hearing this, the dean’s face did not change at all and it was tricky to tell his emotions.

Hannah, standing next to him, instantly changed her face, showing a hint of disdain and mockery, which made her expression look even worse.

“Look at your arrogant face just now, I thought you could bring any benefits to Hazel International Hospital,” Hannah muttered in a low voice, “I didn’t expect you to come to our hospital to ask for.

help.”

“It’s rare to see that you come to beg someone to help you handle matters but engage in a big fight against people you’ll turn to. What a shame!”

Although Hannah spoke this in a very low voice, she was still standing next to them after all, her

boss and Natalie sitting at the table heard it.

Natalie’s eyelashes lightly trembled.

What Hannah said was indeed reasonable; she had nothing to refute.

The dean continued to drink his tea and remained silent on Hannah’s mockery.

Natalie was clear in her heart. Since he didn’t make any voice, it could be considered a tacit agreement with Hannah. Natalie thought that probably Hannah just revealed the dean’s thinking.

She spoke, “I’m sorry. It’s our fault just now.”

“I apologize to you now on behalf of Hugh,” she said with a nonchalant tone. Although it was an

apology, she sounded of integrity.

“That’s a serious statement, Madame,” the head of Hazel International Hospital said and placed

the teacup on the table.

Inadvertently, his gaze swept over the steaming tea in front of Natalie, and he slowly spoke. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Have a taste of it. It’s good,” he pushed the teacup towards Natalie. “It took me a lot of effort to get the coffee. I don’t serve ordinary people with it.”

The pride on the old man’s face when he said this was self-evident. He was very proud of his

coffee.

Upon hearing this, Natalie picked up the teacup and lowered her head to take a sip. Then, as if unintentionally, she said, “Is this Santos Coffee?”

The dean raised his eyebrows, clearly surprised by Natalie’s words.

“You know of the coffee?!” the old man asked. Those who did not know coffee or only know a little about it could not taste the sweetness of this type of coffee, let alone know its name.

After all, Santos Coffee was only found in New York and most people had never tasted it or even

heard of it.

Natalie made a light smile and said, “I just know a little bit about it.”

“Don’t be humble, Madam. There aren’t many people who know coffee now,” the old man said with

regret and sadness.

He had already regarded Natalie as one of his few confidants who shared coffee.

Seeing that the dean had already taken the bait, Natalie smiled and repeated what she had just

said, “I sincerely apologize to you. I am sorry for what just happened. Please forgive us.”

“Of course, a verbal apology is useless. If it is a sincere apology, there must be material

compensation,” she added.

The dean looked at her quietly.

Natalie pointed to the cup of coffee on the table and said, “I know you’re fond of this type of coffee. Coincidentally, I have a friend who’s also obsessed with it.”

‘Sorry, Grandpa, you’re the only person in my life who loves coffee to death……”

“Oh? That’s nice.” The old man became interested.

“Can you tell me how much Santos Coffee you would like? I will get some Santos Coffee from him

someday to apologize to you.”

“Hah.” the director of Hazel International Hospital cracked up when hearing this.

Along with Hannah beside him, they laughed loudly.

Hugh looked at the two people laughing in front of him and couldn’t help but frown……

“Don’t you believe it?” Natalie wasn’t annoyed about this either, and her tone was as gentle as

before.

She certainly understood the dean’s reaction and It was normal for them not to believe.

After all, her current identity was an orphan girl, and she was also a pitiful “double” who climbed up and married into the Graham family.

The dean returned to be serious and said, “It’s not that I don’t believe it… it’s just… do you know

how rare Santos Coffee is?”

Of course, she knew how rare Santos Coffee was… After all, her grandfather loved the coffee, so she casually collected all Santos Coffee on the market into the Spears family’s Dragon Valley.

This kind of coffee was completely monopolized by the Spears family, which was naturally rare for

others.

“I know you want to ask me for a favour and want to show me some sincerity so that I give you a

hand willingly.”

“But it needs to be realistic. Don’t you think so?”

Natalie pursed her lips.

“No matter how anxious you are, you can’t speak wildly. What is the difference between what you’re doing now and Julian’s fraudulent behaviour with fake authorization?”

The dean bemoaned, with a regretful expression, similar to a hint of hatred that iron cannot be

made into steel.

“You’d better go,” he said, waving his hand in a regretful tone, “Before you speak, think about the

consequences. This is all I can give you today.”

Just now, the “confidant filter” he was wearing to Natalie was completely shattered…

Unexpectedly, it was just a youngster who spoke wildly and didn’t know the truth.

“I didn’t say that casually,” Natalie said seriously, “I understand that you may think I am boasting or

being groundless, not knowing how precious the coffee was.”

“But I do have a friend who loves tea like you……”

The head of Hazel International Hospital waved his hand again, clearly unwilling to listen to her. “If you don’t leave, I’ll just throw you out. Don’t blame me for not showing you mercy then”

Natalie wanted to say more but Hannah on the side acted quickly to pull her away.

Before Hannah made a move, Hugh keenly caught her movements and quickly stood in front of Natalie, blocking Hannah’s poised movements.

Hannah was stopped and her expression looked very displeased. Without saying a word, she

wanted to take action with Hugh.

A hand knife quickly cleaved, with full force, and a slight mistake could lead to a broken head and

bloodshed.

Hugh’s eyes didn’t blink and his head tilted slightly to the left, quickly avoiding Hannah’s attack. Then the next second he decisively reached out his hand to hold onto her, and in a close moment,

Hannah’s wrist was about to be torn off.

“Let go.” The old man’s dignified voice came.

Hugh turned his head to look at Natalie, who nodded at him.

Hugh let go of his hand expressionlessly. Hannah’s hand was suddenly released and inertia caused

her to take many steps back in pain to the table; she barely stopped.

The dean’s words were timely… as long as he was slow for a second, Hannah’s hand would be

broken today.

“You are not his opponent. You can only take action when you’re ready for it in the future.” The

dean threw a small plaster bottle at Hannah, and she reached out to catch it.

“I just want to play against him,” Hannah said reluctantly.

After staying by the dean’s side, she had not seen anyone stronger than her for a long time. When

she finally met such a person that day, she naturally wanted to have more “exchanges”.

Natalie raised her eyebrows, ‘How come it’s a friendly communication?…… Hannah’s movements

were clearly with a fierce desire to kill Hugh.’

‘As long as Hugh moves a little slower, she will break his arms and legs, and even his life will not be

guaranteed in severe cases.’

“Sir, look at the matter with the Lance family……” Natalie tentatively spoke up.

“I’ve made up my mind. Please leave now!” Said the old man, driving Natalie out.

Natalie was pushed out and could only retreat in succession, eventually completely exiting the

room to the corridor.

“I hate the Graham family. When they use me, they treat me better, and when they don’t use me, they abandon me…… I want to help the Lance family all to deal with the Graham family.”

Natalie retreated and said, “Aren’t you also not fond of the Graham family? Hazel International

Hospital and I have the same aim. Listen to me carefully explain my plan, and you will be

Interested… …”

Natalie wanted to fight for it again, but before she could finish speaking, a trembling voice came

into her ear.

“Natalie?… Do you… hate the Graham family so much that you even want to ruin the Graham

family?”

This voice was trembling and full of disbelief which couldn’t be concealed. It seemed that Linda

couldn’t believe her ears.

Natalie turned around and saw two people standing one yard away from her.

She narrowed her eyes and carefully saw the faces of the two, from eyes to mouth……

They were Linda and Julian.

What she heard just now was voiced by Linda.

Natalie suddenly became stunned. She felt as if something had exploded in her head… How could

Linda be there??
