Chapter 47.

"Mr. Harmon, I have to attend something else. Please,

excuse me." After a few exchanges, Duane got ready to leave. He had come

because of a renowned doctor. He wouldn't stay long since it was just a

sham. "Mr. Welch, I suggest you listen to Mr. Rhys' advice and stay

around Swinton for these few days to avoid anything." Natasha kindly

reminded him. "Natasha, you don't have to worry about me. You should

worry about yourself," Duane piped up thoughtfully. "I remember your

engagement to Tyler Grant is imminent. I don't think a man like him would

like it if you were too close to other men." Natasha couldn't help but

frown at these words. He had touched on a sensitive topic. "It's just an

engagement. We're not even married yet. At worst, I can break off the

engagement," Natasha answered casually. "Break off the engagement? That's

the Grant family you're talking about. Have you thought of the

consequences of your actions?" Duane was slightly bewildered. "What

consequences would there be? They can't do anything to me," Natasha

replied calmly. "The Grant family might not do anything to you, but I'm

not sure about the one next to you. You're well aware of the Grant

family's ways. The closer you get to him, the more danger he's in." Duane

gazed toward Dustin. His implications were clear. "Hmph! I don't believe

Tyler would cause any trouble!" Natasha maintained an impassive face.

"I'm just reminding you. What you do is up to you." Duane didn't say more

and left with a smile. "What Duane says is true. You'd better deal with

the matter between you and the Grant family." Andrew warned.

"Grandfather, I know what to do." Natasha nodded. Although they had been

engaged since young, she had never fallen for him. How could she marry

someone she doesn't have feelings for? Besides, she despised arranged

marriages the most! "Ms. Harmon, Sir Hummer is requestign to see you," a

bodyguard informed her after entering. "Edwin Hummer?" Natasha raised an

eyebrow. "I was just about to see him. I didn't expect him to come first.

Bring him to the lounge, I'll be there in a second." "Yes, Ms.

Nicholson," the bodyguard replied promptly and left. "Mr. Rhys, I'm going

to see what I can find out from Edwin. You can pretend to be my bodyguard

and Improvise." Natasha glanced at the man beside her. "Okay," Dustin

agreed and nodded his head. Today's ceremony was bait for the prey. Now

that the prey was here, he could not pass on this opportunity. Three minutes later, Dustin and Natasha arrived at another

lounge. Edwin and Fletcher were leisurely enjoying some tea inside.

Behind them were a pair of twins. "Ms. Harmon, congratulations on your

grand opening!" Edwin immediately congratulated her. He seemed like a

wolf in sheep's clothing. they were "Welcome. Sir Hummer. It's a pleasure

to have you here!" Natasha greeted cheerily. Although they enemies, they

had to put on a cordial act. "I see a few new faces around you. Aren't

you going to introduce them?" Natasha looked toward Fletcher and the

other two men. "Oh! This is an old friend of mine, Mr. Lawson. He helps

me with my personal affairs. As for these two young "men, they're his

apprentices," Edwin introduced them without hesitation. "So you're Mr.

Lawson. It's a pleasure to meet you." Natasha smiled. "Mr. Lawson, I have

something to discuss with Ms. Harmon. You can leave the room." Edwin gave

them a look, hinting for them to leave. "Yes, sir."
