Chapter 163

“Miss Natalie, is everything okay?” Reid glanced at Natalie through the rearview mirror, noting her expression

seemed off. He spoke with a soft concern, breaking the silence of the car's interior.

It took a couple of calls of her nbefore Natalie snapped back to the present.

Locking eyes with Reid in the mirror briefly, she replied softly after a pause, “I'm feeling a bit under the weather.

| want to head back to Prestige Penthouses to rest. It’s quieter there.”

“Sure,” Reid nodded, his response quickly and accommodating.

Natalie hastily deleted the video Brian had sent to her phone and shoved the device back into her purse. Yet, she

couldn't shake the feeling that her hand, which had touched the phone, was somehow tainted, and a wave of

nausea threatened to overcher.

When she entered her hat Prestige Penthouses, she made a beeline for the sink and vigorously washed her

hands with sanitizer. No matter how many times she scrubbed, her skin beginning to peel at the fingertips, she

still felt unclean.

It wasn’t until her phone, lying in her bag on the floor, buzzed that she snapped out of her trance.

Natalie swabbed down her phone with an alcohol wipe, patiently waiting for the chemical to evaporate before

answering the relentless calls.

It was Remington on the other end, his voice low. “Azure, there's an opportunity in the next few days. They'll be

at a street parade tomorrow and giving a public interview the day after. Can you handle it?” he asked.

Silent for a few seconds, Natalie responded, “Yes, arrange a private jet for me. Direct flight to the destination to

avoid leaving a trail.”

Natalie had checked out of the hospital early as she needed to attend to an important matter. That would align

perfectly with Remington's request as well.

After packing her things, she texted Reid. [I'm not feeling well. | want squiet time. I'll stay at Prestige

Penthouses. ]

Unsuspecting, Reid texted back, [Okay, got it.]

Natalie watched from the window as Reid left the building and got into his car. Turning away, she grabbed her

suitcase and pressed the button for the sublevel, making her way through the underground parking to exit

Prestige Penthouses from the other side.

At Sterlina Airport, Natalie sat atop her luggage, idly scrolling through the news on her phone while waiting for

her ride.

The headlines first reported on the three politicians who had been attacked the day before, two dead on the

scene, and the third declared brain dead that morning. Confirming her mission accomplished, she promptly

texted Remington. [Task complete]

With Remington, she had a reputation that no mission was ever left undone.

[Good. Do you need a flight back harranged?] Remington replied.

[No need] Natalie texted back quickly before erasing Remington’s contact and returning to the news page.

As she scrolled, Brian's npopped up. She couldn't help but grimace. Mr. Howard had beca sensation,

making headlines even in international entertainment news.

She was about to skip past when the next item caught her eye. It was about Gracia, linked with Brian's news in a

way that turned her stomach.

The headline read, “Brian Travels Abroad with His Fiancee. Is Gracia Set to Join His Family?”

Natalie had to admit that even the Sterlina media had a flair for sensational headlines. If she were just another

onlooker, she might have been intrigued by the title.

“Natalie?” A voice echoed from nearby. The person who had cto pick her up recognized Natalie.

She quickly put away her phone and walked toward them.

Natalie had cto Sterlina for a film festival awards ceremony. By the tshe reached her partner hotel, the

red carpet event had already concluded.
