Families Must Unite!

The following day, Natalie woke up early.

When She opened his eyes, Anthony didn't get up early and left like before. He was still asleep beside her.

Even in his sleep, his hands still hugged him around her waist. The two had been hugging each other since last night, very intimate.

In the light of the morning light, there was no blemish in Anthony's delicate facial features. Under the thick eyelashes, the pair of eyes were tightly closed.

At this moment, Anthony's face was relaxed, completely devoid of the coldness and dignity of a boss. His face was still handsome and bright.

She couldn't help but reach out her hand and caress his closed lips.

Anthony suddenly opened his eyes, those eyes were sharp, and the expression on his face was serious.

"Natalie, what are you going to do to me?"

Natalie was caught on the spot and felt guilty.

"Wipe your water. Your drool is all over the place!"

Natalie finally came up with a nonsensical excuse.

"Hmm, bad girl, you lied again! How should I punish you today?"

Anthony turned and tried to kiss her. Natalie laughed, holding his face in her hands. "No! Stop it! I haven't brushed my teeth, don't kiss me!"

"Come on, just a quick one!"

"I don't want to!" Natalie smiled.

"You dare to go against me?"

This morning was hot as usual. After a good night's sleep, Anthony was full of energy.

He pressed her down on the bed and tried to explore her more, just like last night.

Before Anthony left, Natalie tiptoed to fix his tie.

Anthony seems to be enjoying it! His eyes continued to stare at her meaningfully throughout the process.

"Sleep a little longer today. I allowed you to be an hour late today!"

He lowered his head and gave her a kiss on the cheek before he left.

Natalie touched the cheek that Anthony kissed before. She suddenly remembered his words last night.

"Natalie, it seems that you are in love with me!"

Is she really in love with Anthony?

No, that's impossible!

She was just grateful for his kindness so far. But maybe she likes it.

But that's not love!

Reynold completely broke her heart. Right now, she couldn't easily give her heart to anyone.

Even though Anthony told her to go to the company later, Natalie still got into the company on time.

At the door of the design department, Yuna seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time. She stared at her with confused eyes for a long time.

"Ma'am, the problem has been found. It's indeed not my fault. It's director Frans' fault!"

Yuna smiled awkwardly. "You are a special person. I heard director Frans had been fired. You are indeed a brave person."

"Thanks ma'am. I just did what I had to do. I don't particularly appreciate being slandered, so I'm always careful when dealing with sensitive issues like this. Then… Do you still want me to leave the design department?"

Yuna smiled awkwardly. "This time, I have to admit that it was my fault. As you know, I was under a lot of pressure when I was a department director! By the way, as an apology, I'm giving you a chance for a big project.

Gratia has just received an international order for a woman. She needed seven sets of evening gowns to walk the red carpet. I leave this task to you. Your first task now is to design the first draft. Once you're done, show it to me..."

Finally came the first design task. Natalie was a little excited and carefree.

While she was still working, Natalie received a text message.

The message also has a photo in it. The photo's background is the living room of his parents' house. Initially, his mother and father's photos were still plastered on the wall. At this moment, the portrait lay on the floor and shattered into pieces.

Beneath all the photos, there was a message. "Natalie, I'm giving you an hour to get back home. Otherwise, you'll see the consequences for yourself."

Seeing this text and image, Natalie was so angry that she felt her blood boil. Damn Erlyn, she took her anger out on the photo of her dead parents. This made her really angry.

During lunchtime, Natalie asked Yuna for permission to go home early.

…

Andersen family home.

Natalie got out of the taxi and rushed straight in.

The room was full of people.

Apart from William, there were also some distant relatives of the Andersen family.

It seems that the photo of his parents being shattered into pieces doesn't exist in this living room. The photo still hangs on the wall flawlessly.

This was all just Erlyn's trick to get her back.

When Celine saw herself coming, she jumped up, grabbed her arm, and scolded. "You ignorant child, your uncle and I took care of you for four years, and that's how you thank us? How dare you destroy the company's plans just because you are dissatisfied with how we are taking care of you.

You even told reporters that we forced you to give us company shares, right? Shame on you, you still like to lie, huh? Don't you know that in order to prepare for your wedding, we've already spent hundreds of millions? It's all the money we borrow from the bank for your happiness! And since you don't want to get married, quickly return all the money, or we'll sue you!"

Celine's face was completely red. Thanks to Natalie, she just found out that Doxia's plan to go public was ruined.

At this moment, seeing the enthusiastic Celine holding her arm, Natalie only saw her as a jumping clown.

"Auntie, I'm relieved to see you so miserable!"

Celine's fingers trembled and pointed at Natalie. She was so angry that she was speechless. "You, you, you..."

"Alright, you go and calm yourself first. Let me explain!"

William finally stood up, waved his hand, and let his wife move out of the room.

"Natalie, you exposed Erlyn's privacy issues in public that day, so I'll also hold you accountable later. But matters regarding the company can't be delayed any longer. We all want you to come back today because we want to discuss Doxia's future with you.

After all, Doxia belongs to the Andersen family. You are a woman, and you want to get married in the future. Therefore, for the sake of Doxia's prosperity, I hope that you can hand over all the shares you currently hold and let us manage. Today, all the uncles and elders of the Andersen family come together and agree that this is necessary to unite and advance our family industry."

William's face was dignified, and his words sound so wise.

It was clear that they wanted to snatch away the fruits of his parents' hard work, but he casually said that all of this was for the prosperity of the Andersen family.

Sitting next to him, his uncle named Luki gave William his support and persuaded Natalie.

"Natalie, your parents are dead. Your uncle has been trying hard for you."

"Yeah, you don't need to think about the company. After you get married, even if your husband takes you to his family, you still need the support of our family."

"Natalie, follow your uncle's words. The most important thing is to unite."

"You'd better give your shares to your uncle immediately! If you get married, your only duty is to be a good wife and mother. Let William run the family business."

They all spoke for William.

William realized that if he didn't take back Natalie's 30% stake, it would be difficult for him to really control Doxia.

So today, he invited all the relatives to come here. He bribed them big money and cornered Natalie together.

No matter how stubborn Natalie was, she was still a girl. After everything that had happened, she must have been lonely and had nowhere to rest.

At this time, seeing Natalie standing in the middle of the living room in silence, William came forward and asked. "Natalie, what do you think? You can make some conditions, but please don't make it too hard."

Natalie smirked. "What if I say no?"

William glared at Natalie, and the door to the house immediately locked itself.
