Chapter 590 Could Not Resist The Lure
“Can I really?” Lia rubbed her hands in anticipation.
“Of course, you can,” said Natalie with a laugh. “Well, don’t just stand there. Let’s go through them
together. I could use your suggestions with something that might be suitable for an elder.”
“Thank you, Ms. Nichols.”
“Thank you, Ms. Nichols.”
Lia and Ross exchanged looks. Then, they began to comb through the five large safety deposit boxes.
Just watching by the sidelines ultimately became too much for Yandel to take. “Boss, is it possible for me
to…”
“Yeah, of course!” Natalie’s lips lifted. “Rest assured that I won’t be leaving anyone out.”
When he met Natalie’s eyes, Yandel felt that this was another day that he would remember fondly in his
time with her.
The thing that motivated him to work for Natalie was never the money. Apart from her multitude of
uncanny identities, what stood out to him most was her overwhelming open-mindedness and big heart.

“Thanks, Boss!”
After going through the safety deposit boxes for hours, the lot of them finally settled on their heart’s
desire and every one of them was greatly satisfied.
“Hang back, Ross. I have something that I wish to discuss with you alone.” Natalie’s eyes seemed quite
solemn when she uttered those words.
Yandel and Lia cleared out of the office and made space for Ross and Natalie.
“There’s some unknown psychedelic toxin inside the blood sample sent to the research center yesterday.
The side effects of which include the inducing of hyperactivity, and a change in temperament… My guess
is that with heavier doses and long-term exposure, it may make one highly aggressive, or even immune
to physical pain. Perhaps, it might even make one akin to zombies in the movies.” Natalie stood at the
full-length windows and looked down upon the ceaseless flow of traffic in the city below.
Ross’ pupils shrunk when he heard that.
Not that he would doubt anything that Natalie said, but this all sounded very outlandish to him.
He kept his cool and asked, “What would you like for me to do, Ms. Nichols?”
“Extract this toxin from the sample and perform some tests to ascertain its makeup.” Natalie looked right
at Ross. “It is only by understanding our opponent that we can gain the upper hand. We must come up
with a cure for it and in the shortest time possible in order to save those innocent people.”
It was hard for Natalie to adjudge whether Melissa deserved to die the way she did.
However, whatever it was inside the latter’s body could only be developed within legal gray areas.
Pertaining to this, she had a feeling that it must somehow be linked to Arnold’s untimely demise. No
matter what, she had to get to the bottom of it.
Realizing the gravity and urgency of this task, Ross nodded in acknowledgment. “Understood.”
Elsewhere, inside the Centurion Corporation.
Samuel sat with his head bowed and eyes narrowed while he went through the file he had on hand.
“We weren’t able to find anything unusual off Yara. There’s no evidence connecting her to the traffic
accident you were previously involved in and Ms. Sophia’s kidnapping.”
“Looks like it wasn’t her…” Samuel’s brow creased into a taut furrow, feeling that the whole case had
only grown extremely vexing.

arrangements for?”
Billy stood next to him and continued his report, “Already done, Sir. I’ve assigned two of the finest to
shadow Mrs. Bowers.”
“Good.” Samuel acknowledged that with a slight nod. Then, he found himself a little confused by how his
counterpart addressed Natalie. “What did you just call Nat?”
Although Samuel and Natalie’s relationship had not been formalized in any legal procedure or public
ceremony, Billy had already, in his heart, recognized her as the mistress of the Bowers residence.
“I-It’s just a slip of my tongue, Sir…” Billy hastened to explain. “If you think that it’s inappropriate, I would
not address her as Mrs. Bowers next time. I shall continue to hail her as Ms. Nichols or Ms. Natalie then.”
“Why are you being such a dumbass?” a frowning Samuel bellowed, “Did I ask you not to?”
“No, Sir!”
As much as Billy tried to keep a straight face, he was sniggering inside.
Regardless, he was well aware that Natalie already had Samuel wrapped around her fingers, and could
not resist the lure of this manner of addressing her.
