Chapter 118 Advice

“Thank you very much, Miss Spears,” Mrs. Lance looked at Natalie in a serious tone.

Natalie nodded and said, “It’s my pleasure. I’m glad I can help.”

“However, looking at Julian, it is obvious that he has already lost his temper. In such a situation, he didnot even challenge the Graham family, which is really something I didn’t expect.”

Jerry rubbed his hands with a somewhat embarrassed tone, “To be honest with you, I didn’t expectGrandma

to be so direct, even to the point where she didn’t even leave Julian any chance to talk back.”

Natalie smiled. Mrs. Lance’s tone was indeed fairly blunt to Julian. Presumably, President Graham hadnever been treated like this since he was a young boy.

Everything was okay if this was not brought up but when it came to what had happened just now, Mrs.

Lance’s anger flared up again. She straightened her spine and placed the teacup she had just pickedup

heavily on the table. “He just started hitting Jerry. He was challenging the Lance family. How could I bekind

to him?” she said

“If he doesn’t respect others, he doesn’t deserve others to respect. Just as simple as that. If it weren’tfor the

fact that the Graham family is predominant in Los Angeles and the Lance family is inconvenient toprovoke, I

would have stopped talking nonsense and given him a lesson directly.”

Natalie smiled a little at the corners of her mouth, and her tone was also tinged with a smile.” So youdidn’t

have much expression just now because you were suppressing your anger in your heart, weren’t you?”

The implication was that what you said so mercilessly just now was actually a manifestation of restraintand

if you didn’t restrain yourself, you would swear him, wouldn’t you?

“That’s right. If it’s not because of my status, I would have cursed him from the start.”

Natalie curled her lips, she liked Mrs. Lance’s straightforward nature. And although she had astraightforward

personality, she could completely control her temper in critical moments.

It was rare for someone to be able to freely retract and release like this.

With her admiration for Mrs. Lance’s temperament, she decided to try her utmost to practise the Abaca

Project.

“But after Miss Spears helped our company complete this project, although we maybe still can’tsurpass the Graham family, we’re at least as strong as them. At that time, if Julian bothers us again,the Lance family

wouldn’t be afraid of him!” Mrs. Lance turned at Natalie.

Natalie pursed her lips and said, “Don’t worry, the Abaca Project will definitely Increase the influence ofthe

Lance family several times. By then, you won’t be frightened of the Graham family.

The wrinkles on Mrs. Lance’s face brought a smile; she repeatedly cheered.

!

Natalie lowered her head for a moment. It was already afternoon.

She took a few steps back and was ready to leave. “Since Julian has already left and there is nothingurgent

now, I will leave first,” she said.

She was originally afraid that Julian would really attack Jerry so it could be said that she was forced tostay

at the Lance’s house. After this issue was resolved, she didn’t need to stay there any longer.

And she had already promised the Lance family to seriously conduct the Abaca Project. Since theagreement

was reached, it required some effort and a lot of time to make it.

Since she took her seat, Mrs. Lance had been begging her several times, both openly and secretly, topay

more attention to the Abaca Project.

Although not explicitly stated, Natalie understood in her heart that Mrs. Lance was actually remindingher that the Lance family was very anxious about the Abaca Project and hoped that she could manageit as soon.

as possible.

Seeing that Natalie was about to leave, Mrs. Lance quickly greeted Jerry and said, “Miss Spears isleaving.”

come and send her off.”

“Okay,” Jerry nodded. “Miss Spears, please, this way.”

He took the lead and guided Natalie. After reaching the position at the entrance of the private room, he

stopped and quietly waited for Natalie to follow.

Natalie also nodded and said. “Okay.”

After that, she turned round to simply bid farewell to Mrs. Lance, then walked out of the private roomwith Jerry side by side.

“Oh, by the way, Mr. Lance, can you do me a favour?” As she was about to reach the gate, Nataliesuddenly

spoke up.

Upon hearing Natalie’s request from him, Jerry almost immediately stopped and looked serious, “Yes.Sure. What can I do for you? As long as there is anything that can help you, I will do my best to do it.”

Natalie spoke up. “Actually, it’s not a big problem. I just want to ask you to abide by the confidentialityagreement and never expose my identity. After all, once my identity is exposed, I may face some

danger.”

The matter was of great importance, she still needed to give some advice or even warnings.

Jerry nodded and said, “Don’t worry. The Lance family understands the spirit of a contract. Since wehave signed a confidentiality contract, we will definitely keep it confidential.”

“And just now when Julian asked, I didn’t say anything. I didn’t say anything today and I won’t sayanything in

the future.”

His tone was decisive and convincing.

“Hmm, because only your family in the entire Los Angeles knows my identity, I feel a bit uneasy. Buthearing you say that, I feel relieved,” Natalie spoke softly.

The two of them walked and talked, and soon walked out of the Lance’s house. Knowing that Natallewas about to leave, the butler had already parked Natalie’s car on the road in front of the mansion inadvance.

She could drive straight away.

The two of them stopped in front of the car.

“So… I was wondering when the Abaca Project will start?”Jerry had a polite smile on his face.

“After I get back today, I can start the initial preparation by carefully planning.” Natalie took the car keyfrom

the butler’s hand.

She guessed right; the Lance family was really anxious about this project.

“However, for insurance reasons, in the future, for the Abaca Projects, you can directly contact Ryaninstead

of me,” Natalie added.

*Contact Ryan…? Is that the person who came to dinner with you yesterday?” Jerry’s expression was abit

strange.

“Yes, if you have any needs or requirements, just tell him directly.”

The reason why she arranged this way was that if she directly interacted with the Lance family, thepossibility of revealing her identity would be higher, and she did not want to take risks.

Secondly, because this was a brand new project if led by Ryan, it would greatly improve Ryan’sabilities.

However, with Ryan’s current strength, he was still unable to fully dominate this project and needed her

guidance…….

Upon hearing this, Jerry couldn’t help but blink.

This was actually a bit… tricky for him. Judging from Ryan’s performance yesterday, although he didn’tknow. the reasons, he was sure that Ryan definitely disliked him.

He turned to communicate with Ryan… It seemed that Jerry could already picture a bad future.

Natalie looked at Jerry and found that his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, almost twisting into rivershapes,

indicating his current worries.

“What’s the matter? Is there anything wrong?” She couldn’t help but speak.

“It’s nothing.” Jerry restrained his expression and put on a polite smile again. “Could you please giveme Mr. Swan’s WhatsApp account later so that I can contact him directly?”

Natalie nodded and said, “No need to wait. I’ll send it to you now, I’m afraid I’ll forget later.”

“That’s okay,” Jerry took out his phone from his pocket.

At this moment, a car slowly passed the two of them. There was a charming figure sitting in the car.
