NovelOnlineIn Aryadelle, Natalie had been dazed and demotivated for the past few days. She had been doubting herself and her beliefs all along ever since her mother had told her that Dean Jennings was her biological father.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithout Dean's help, she would have never accomplished what she had so far. Natalie thought back to the twhen she had mocked Avery for depending on men for her success, yet she had cto realize that she was no different than Avery.
"Ms. Jennings, is something troubling you?" Her assistant asked gingerly.
Natalie picked up her mug and took a sip of coffee.
"If one day your mother tells you that you are not your father's child and that your real father is someone else, how would you react?" Natalie asked. "The father you've known has been caring and loving, and isn't aware that you are not his child." The assistant hesitated for a moment, before looking troubled. "That's insane! I've only ever seen something like that on television. Ms. Jennings, if something like that happens to me, I will definitely feel torn... because my father has cared forall my life. I do think that blood is just one of the factors that define human relationships and the most important factor of all is what you have actually been through with that other person." "What I described just now is exactly the situation I'm facing right now." A bitter smile appeared on Natalie's face. "It's okay if you want to laugh. I've also thought of my mother has not worked. The only tI remember her working is when she grew bored. My father has always been the family breadwinner." "I won't laugh at you, Ms. Jennings. This sort of thing is out of your control, so you don't have to be upset. If you don't like your biological father, you can just ignore him." "What if my biological father is really rich? " Natalie pointed out her main concern. " One father has money and no lover for me, while another has no money, but all the love for me." "Just take both, then! It's not an issue as long as the father who raised you doesn't mind," the assistant suggested. "How rich is your biological father, Ms. Jennings? If he is willing to acknowledge you as his daughter, you can totally say yes. Why say no to the money, after all?" "He has loads of children ?d* The assistant gaped, before asking curiously, "Ms. Jennings, who exactly is your biological father? If you say he's rich, he has to be as rich as kings..." "What's the point of you knowing his ne nif he doesn't wantas his daughter?" Natalie propped her head with her hands with a troubled expression. "I am probably reaching for the stars to consider asking my father's help with accomplishing the goal Elliot set forso that I can take Tate Industries for myself." "Ms. Jennings, I think that's a great plan. Even if you don't go to him as his daughter, you can still try considering a partnership with him. So long as he benefits from it, he will help you," the assistant said.

He knew I was his daughter all along, but all these years have passed, and not once has he cto see me. I'm disappointed in him." "Ms. Jennings, you mentioned that he has a lot of children, right? Children from wealthy families are meant to fight one another for their parents' attention. You don't have to feel ashamed. There's no shin doing what's best for yourself. Once you excel and stand out amongst your siblings, your biological father will naturally see how worthy you are," the assistant consoled her and Natalie felt much better. In the afternoon, Natalie received a call from her uncle-in-law.
"Natalie, are you free this evening? Your aunt and I cto visit and we are at Leah's place right now. If you are not busy, let's go for dinner together!" Mr. Kennedy said.
"Sure. I will reserve the restaurant. My treat tonight," she agreed enthusiastically.
"Sigh. If only Leah is as sweet as you are." "Uncle, don't be mad at her. Leah is bem not married to that bodyguard yet, so there's still time! But the two of you need to stop being too harsh on Leah, Natalie said." She's not a child anymore. Threatening her UMS work." "Whatever you say."
