Chapter 1146 More And More Confusing
Life went on without any problems arising. Time passed in the blink of an eye, and soon, half a month was gone. It
seemed peaceful, but no one knew what was lurking under the still waters.
Dream Corporation and the Leitz family signed an order for a bulk purchase of rough stones. Helma reported the
matter to Geert. After raking his gaze across the contract, Geert praised, “Helma, you’ve done well.”
However, there was no smile on Helma’s face as she uttered, “This is just my duty.” Ever since Geert had slapped
Helma, the feelings of familial love she had for Geert had dissipated.
If Helma used to be the beloved princess, then now, she was a princess who had taken off her crown, as well as her
elegance and pride. No one could figure out what was going on in her mind anymore.
Helma once believed in her family, but that was no longer the case—she now trusted no one but herself. “Helma,
are you still angry with me?”

her response, but he soon laughed. “Helma, you’ve grown mature.”

“Is that so?” Helma answered nonchalantly. “I don’t think I’ve matured enough yet.” As if a kind father, Geert
patted Helma’s shoulder.
“Take your time.”
Despite his words, Helma curled her lips slightly as feelings of disgust rose in her chest.
“Helma, I know that you still despise Natalie…” Geert started, his hand still on Helma’s shoulder. “But Natalie has a
unique identity, and you can’t lay a finger on her unless you have a good reason to do so. Do you hear me?”
Helma sneered inwardly.
A unique identity? Are you sure Natalie hasn’t cast a spell over you?
Those words of Geert were words that Helma Leitz could not believe in anymore. To her, the supposed uniqueness
of Natalie was just a cover for Geert’s perversion.
Although she disliked it, Helma was not going to be foolish enough to confront Geert head-on anymore.
Therefore, despite her beliefs, she said, “I understand.”
“Wonderful, my good girl.”
After leaving Geert’s study, Helma made a call.
“I’ve already built the connection with Dream per your instructions. As for the next step…”
“Be at ease,” Mistem uttered. “King will fulfill the promise he has made to you. That shipment will soon be
transported to Yaleview from the border, and when they find out that there is something wrong with that shipment,
Natalie’s reputation will be ruined.”
Helma beamed when she heard the promise.
She felt that she was finally harvesting the fruits of the hardship she had to endure all this while.
In the meantime, a shipment was getting transported to Yaleview’s port.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPeople of various forces all had eyes on the shipment.
“There’s something wrong with the Leitz family’s shipment,” Joseph reported to Bastien.
Bastien, who had mostly recovered by then, quietly sipped on his tea as he listened to Joseph’s report. When he
registered what Joseph had told him, a rare hint of emotion flickered in his eyes.
Joseph knew that Bastien was worried about Natalie.
However, he did not receive any further instructions after reporting the matter to Bastien, so he was stuck standing
there awkwardly.
Bastien did not speak, so Joseph dared not take any action about it.
Eons seemed to go by before Joseph finally heard Bastien say, “Forget it. We won’t do anything about this. If she
doesn’t go through any hardships, she might never see the love I have for her.”
Joseph was a little surprised by his decision.
He worked closely with Bastien, and he thought he knew Bastien well. Yet, lately, he seemed to be unable to read
Bastien’s mind as well anymore.
