Chapter 663 No Reason

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

After Talitha listened to his plan, he watched her happily disappear from his sight. Then, he picked up his phone to call William, “She agreed to the plan and left happily just now!”
“Alright, I’ll arrange for someone to take care of the rest. You just need to make her believe that you are on her side.” At first, William thought that Raymond was gentle and kind and had always treated Talitha like a relative, so he did not intend to let him participate in the plan just in case he was too soft-hearted to carry it out.
However, he was different than expected and insisted to join, “I want to be a part of this plan! I have to take revenge for the last time she used me to scheme against you and Valeria.”
“Are you sure you can do it?” William asked, “This isn’t a game!”
“I know. I’m no longer the soft-hearted person I used to be. Don’t worry, I can do it!”
William pondered for a moment and decided to trust Raymond since he was not young anymore, and the Saunders Enterprises would definitely fall into his hands in the future. Therefore, he had to learn and experience things like these. William agreed to his request and said, “Fine! I’ll ask Marcus to help you!”
In the Central South Building, Braelynn was sitting at her desk in a distracted state. Just as William thought, she could not concentrate on her work after Valeria told her about Richard’s change in attitude towards her in the future.
To be honest, she was furious that he treated her like that last night. He was handsome and surrounded by beautiful women all the time, so she had always regarded him as a frivolous man.
She was furious after he harassed her because she assumed that he mistook her for a prostitute, so she couldn’t help herself and hit him.
He stayed unconscious even after he was sent to the hospital, and she was worried that something happened to him, so she stayed by his side all night. But that night, he did not say a word to her and kept his eyes closed the whole time.
Seeing that his forehead was badly bruised, and his eyes were closed and motionless, she was actually very upset. She didn’t really want to hit him, but he did something wrong, so she attacked him out of anger.
Since he had done something wrong first, he had to give her an explanation. At least, he should have explained that he had drunk too much and had lost consciousness.
This way, he wouldn’t be too ashamed.
However, he stayed silent with his eyes closed the whole time. Later, his assistant came over and politely drove her away, so she had to leave.
Even though this was what she wanted, she still felt disappointed when she realized that he wouldn’t talk to her cheekily and tease her anymore.
She rubbed her head. What was going on? There was nothing between them, to begin with, so why was she feeling this way?
She shook her head and tried to focus on her work. Just after she finished reading a report, her door was pushed open, and Lucian came in.
She smiled as she entered the room and said, “Braelynn!”
Braelynn did not show any reactions when she came in, but she became alert and thought to herself, “Lucian doesn’t visit people for no reason, so she must have a purpose for coming here today.” She smiled and invited her to sit down, then she poured her a glass of water and asked, “Mom, why are you here?”
“I haven’t seen you in a while, so I’m here to visit you!” she took a sip of water and put down her cup. Then, she looked at Braelynn with concern and asked, “Are you very busy recently? Look at your dark circles. Are you not resting well because of work?”
“Probably!” she did not deny it.
“It’s very hard for you to manage such a big company alone, isn’t it? When I was your age, I could only follow President Garcia as an assistant. It’s really amazing for you to do this alone!” Lucian sighed.
“I’m not the only one in charge of the company. There are so many executives around me who are also managing the company. Besides, my father and Mr. Saunders are also helping me.”
As she said so, Lucian immediately changed the subject, “I know that your father is helping you, but Mr. Saunders too? By the way, have you seen Miss Brown at all during this time? How is she now?”
It was obvious that she was trying to get information on Valeria, so Braelynn shook her head and said, “No, she is still in the hospital, but I heard that she has recovered a little.”
“Oh, I see. Have you seen President Garcia then? How is she doing now?” she asked about Natalie again.
“She is in good health. I heard that her memory has recovered a lot, so she can remember some people from before. After she recovers, she’ll probably come back to manage the company.”
As Braelynn was speaking, the secretary greeted respectfully from outside, “Hello, President Garcia!”
Speaking of the devil, Braelynn got up and said, “President Garcia is here!”
When Lucian heard that Natalie was here, she immediately stood up. She had wanted to see her for a very long time, and this would be their first time meeting in a while.
Natalie was as graceful and beautiful as before. Braelynn smiled and greeted her, while she put on a surprised expression when she saw Lucian, “Lu… Lucian?”
Lucian’s eyes reddened with happiness because Natalie was able to recognize her. She took a step forward and said, “President Garcia! How are you doing?”
“I’m doing good, how about you?”
“I am also doing good!” Lucian’s lips trembled with excitement. The person she had been dreaming of was right in front of her and even recognized her. How could she not be excited?
Originally, she wanted to ask Braelynn for more information, but now her mind was completely distracted.
As always, Natalie was elegant and considerate. “Since you’re here, let’s have lunch together at noon. It’ll be my treat.”
This was what Lucian had dreamt of for so long, so, of course, she would not refuse the invitation.
Braelynn tidied up her work, and the three of them left the Central South Building together.
Natalie invited them to a western restaurant. After arriving at the restaurant, Lucian finally calmed down.
She started to feel a little worried and thought to herself, “Didn’t Natalie lose her memory? Why does she have her memories now? Is this a trap?”
She clearly knew her intentions towards Natalie, so she had been testing her during their meal.
However, Natalie was a perceptive person who was capable enough to be the boss of a company, so she immediately saw through Lucian’s schemes.
After a series of probes, Lucian didn’t find anything suspicious about Natalie, but she still didn’t dare to rest assured, so she deliberately mentioned Valeria, “Is Valeria okay?”
“She’s alright. She has suffered a lot during this period of time and has been fighting to survive. Fortunately, the person she loved came back, so she narrowly escaped death.”
This made Lucian’s heart skip a beat. Wasn’t William drugged by Natasya?
Did Natalie mean that he remembered Valeria? She had to get to the bottom of what was going on.
