Chapter 502

That was all she could tell him. In her previous life, Joanna had been the one to report the Spencer family, and that was the beginning of their end.

The biggest reason was that Marshall trusted Joanna too much, sharing everything with her.

Joanna’s methods were truly masterful.

Marshall was stunned. “That supplier was already blacklisted by my grandmother during the development of that land. How could they still…”

His expression darkened. “It’s my uncle. He must have been pulling strings behind the scenes.”

Natalie shook her head. “I don’t know if it was him, but that’s your current materials supplier. I found it online the day before yesterday. Although they changed the label and the legal representative’s name, I checked the connections. The current legal representative is the sister-in-law of the company’s president.”

She had heard about this in her past life. The Spencer family’s troubles had made the news, and she had seen the reports.

Marshall was aghast. It seemed they had just dodged one disaster only to face another. He didn’t understand. “Natalie, how is our family in their way? Why are they targeting us like this?”

Natalie was exasperated. “What else could it be? Your family’s business is similar to theirs, creating a conflict. They can’t break into the Yaro market, so the best way is to swallow the Spencer family whole.”

Marshall was furious. That was a major factor.

But more importantly, it was his greedy uncle.

Marshall gave a bitter smile. “It’s not just that. It’s mostly because of my uncle.”

Seeing that he had figured it out, Natalie said no more.

Marshall stood up. “Natalie, I’m going back to investigate the materials issue. You get some rest. Call me if you need anything.”

Natalie urged, “Go quickly. This is crucial.”

Marshall glanced at lan, having forgotten the boy was there.

He looked at Natalie with a hint of nervousness.

Natalie smiled. “lan can be trusted.”

lan’s heart skipped a beat as he looked deeply at Natalie. She… trusted him.

Those words, “can be trusted,” were the most beautiful things he had ever heard.

Marshall breathed a sigh of relief. “Kid, take good care of Natalie for me.”

lan frowned. “Why would I take care of her fon

Natalie looked at lan and smiled. “Ian, I’m going to take a nap. If you’re busy…”

“I’m not busy,” lan interrupted with a smile. “You sleep. I’ll watch the IV drip.”

Comforted, Natalie closed her eyes and drifted off.

lan gazed at her delicate features and smiled faintly.

After work, Sean bought some fruits Natalie liked.

When Sebastian got in the car, Sean said, “Sir, let me take you home first.”

Sebastian, looking irritable after a

gave a slight nod. “Alright.”

Sean said no more and drove Sebastian home.

Sebastian noticed the fruit on the passenger seat and asked, “What’s the fruit for?”

Sean replied, “A friend of mine is in the hospital. I’m going to visit her later.”

Sebastian had told him not to mention Natalie, so he wouldn’t.

Sebastian knew Sean didn’t have many friends. He pressed, “What friend?”
