Chapter 22 Little Liar
"Can't I eat it?" Seth dropped his voice for a moment and muttered with a grievance, "Then I won't eat
it. I don't like boiled eggs. I feel uncomfortable eating them."
Although doctors had repeatedly advised him to take protein supplements, he had ignored them all. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
The youngsters in the family knew his temper well and didn't dare to restrain him.
The only person in the world who dared to stop Seth was Kendrick's grandmother, who died many
years ago. Therefore, Seth had been very free these years.
"Indeed, it's a little hard to swallow." Natalie agreed with him at first. Then she quickly said, "But it can
be scrunched and put in porridge, which is more nutritious." She squinted and smiled. "Grandpa, eating
more eggs is good for your health, making you more energetic than young boys."
Then she shelled an egg and said, "I'll put it in porridge for you, okay?"
Her tone was gentle, but her attitude was firm.
There was a toughness in her bones.
"Fine, just do as you like." Seth gave up struggling.
Everyone was relieved and couldn't help looking at her with new eyes.
They all felt that Natalie seemed to have changed a lot.
Natalie took another egg with a calm face. She peeled half of the shell, handed it to Kendrick, and said,
"Here you are."
Kendrick didn't take the egg but directly leaned his head over and took a bite.
Seeing that, Natalie couldn't help but think, "Hey!
Why did you bite directly?
I didn't intend to feed you!"
Maggie, sitting opposite, sipped some milk and frowned.
Meanwhile, she thought, "I really wish I was blind!"
...
Before leaving the Ramsey's mansion, Seth gave Natalie a red envelope, saying that it was pocket
money.
The envelope was thin, and Natalie suspected that it was a check.
Seth personally gave it to Natalie in private, along with some grateful words.
It could be seen that Seth was still a little frightened.
Natalie accepted it and said, "Grandpa, just in case, you should always stay with someone. Remember
to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor and take care of yourself."
Seth nodded and said, "OK, I will."
In the car, Natalie said to Kendrick in a mysterious tone, "Grandpa gave me a gift. He said he was
grateful for my timely rescue. Guess what gift it is?"
"A check!"
Kendrick looked at her disappointed expression and wondered whether he should have deliberately
guessed wrong several times to increase the interactive fun.
Natalie took out the red envelope and drew out the check with the value of 100 thousand dollars.
Seth actually gave 100 thousand dollars to her as her pocket money.
Natalie was quite shocked.
She carefully put it back and said, "Grandpa is really generous."
"You saved his life. He was shot in the heart in his early years, and the bullet remained in his body.
Trapped by the medical level back then, the bullet couldn't be taken out. As he grows older, it has
become a dangerous factor."
"Has it been taken out now?"
"The risk is too great, and no doctor dares to do the surgery."
Natalie fell silent.
Seth's early years were marked by ups and downs, surviving numerous deaths and suffering numerous
injuries.
When he was in Norford, he shook the position of the former overlord, the Brewer family. He even
caused many deaths of the Brewer family because of the sea business.
Therefore, the Brewer family and the Ramsey family had a grudge.
The plot was specially arranged in the original novel to make the male and female protagonists suffer,
making their relationship full of ups and downs. Factors such as family conflicts, affairs in relationships,
car accidents, miscarriages, etc. were all present in the novel, making it a wonderful drama about
wealthy families.
Natalie was immersed in recalling the plots of the original novel.
Suddenly, she felt a grip.
She looked down and saw Kendrick reach over and squeeze a corner of her red envelope.
Natalie clenched it subconsciously.
Kendrick failed to pull it over and raised his eyebrows. "Who said that she would pay me back as soon
as she got enough money?"
Natalie pulled the envelope in her direction and said in a weak voice, "I'll pay you back in the future,
okay?"
She kept blinking as she spoke, and her long, curling eyelashes flickered, making her look like a deer,
poor but lovely.
Kendrick withdrew his hand and snorted softly. He moved his lips slightly and murmured in a low and
almost inaudible voice, "Little liar!"
...
After returning home, Natalie found Walker's contact information in the document given by Baron.
She wrote him an anonymous e-mail describing some of the treatments for spinal nerve injuries, which
were advanced and extremely difficult to apply. Now doctors in this world could not do this. Actually, it
was even difficult for them to understand these methods literally.
After sending the e-mail, Natalie put her hands together and prayed.
She hoped that she would receive a reply from Walker.
Not long after Natalie sent the e-mail, her mobile phone rang.
It was the hot news of Daily Finance.
The content was about the strategic restructuring of Ramsey Group.
Kendrick went to the group this morning for a board meeting that was supposed to be about
restructuring the group.
Natalie took a moment to read the news and quickly straightened out the main point, which was that
Kendrick was to take over the group's hotel business, which was losing money under the leadership of
his uncle, Melvin Ramsey.
Even so, it could still be seen that Seth was very partial to his youngest son, who was actually not very
successful. He had not only given the important business of real estate but also a part of the financial
business to Melvin to manage. It could be said that these were all easy projects that could make profits
without doing anything.
However, the hotel business, which belonged to the third-party service industry, often received a large
number of customer complaints. It was an extremely tiring and hard job. And, it was now in a state of
continuous loss, which would take several times of efforts to recover. The worse is that it was not a
core profitable business of the group, so the revenue was limited no matter how great the profit was.
Seth made this decision under the name of training Kendrick's capacity, but in fact, Kendrick's capacity
could be trained in any other sector of the group.
Natalie held her head and felt that she shouldn't have saved Seth.
She immediately opened the browser and typed several keywords.
Ramsey Group had been set up for nearly 50 years and was a traditional giant enterprise. In recent
years, it had been seeking innovation to break the situation and to keep up with the pace of the times.
As a result, it had been constantly adjusting its organizational structure.
The year before, Ramsey Technology was founded under the promotion of Kendrick, but it was not
favored. The lack of manpower led to the stagnation of the project.
However, Natalie knew that Kendrick would later bring the group to another peak by relying on Ramsey
Technology.
After all, technology was the primary productive force.
Chip, AMP, and the semiconductor industry were the representatives of advanced and sophisticated
technologies.
She wondered, "Is Kendrick aware of this now?
Maybe I can give him a reminder."
Thinking of this, she immediately opened a document and began to write a strategic plan.
...
Kendrick returned at 9 p.m.
According to Ashlynn, Natalie had stayed in the study the whole day and hadn't come down. She didn't
eat dinner. Ashlynn had asked her several times, but she said she was not hungry.
None of the food on the table had been eaten.
Kendrick stared at it for a while and then said, "I'll go up and have a look."
The door of the study was not locked. He raised his hand and pushed it open. Then he heard Natalie
say, "Wait a moment. Just leave the food there. I'll go down and eat when I'm hungry."
Natalie was sitting at the desk and typing on the keyboard with both hands, without raising her eyes.
She thought it was Ashlynn coming up again, so she hurriedly said so.
Then she heard a clear male voice saying, "When will it be?"
Natalie looked up and finally found that it was Kendrick.
Then she glanced at the time and saw that it was 9 p.m.
Natalie had been sitting in the study since she had come there at noon. She had hardly left in the
middle except to go to the toilet. She had been writing her project plan attentively.
Therefore, she had no idea that it was already so late.
"But I haven't finished writing yet."
"Continue it tomorrow. It's already 9 p. m." His tone was casual, but his attitude was overbearing.
"All right." Natalie had always listened to him. Her eyes rolled, and she said softly, "Then you have to
eat with me."
"Are you going to skip dinner if I don't come back?" asked Kendrick.
