Chapter 118 Advice


“Thank you very much, Miss Spears,” Mrs. Lance looked at Natalie in a serious tone.


Natalie nodded and said, “It’s my pleasure. I’m glad I can help.”


“However, looking at Julian, it is obvious that he has already lost his temper. In such a situation, he did not even challenge the Graham family, which is really something I didn’t expect.”


Jerry rubbed his hands with a somewhat embarrassed tone, “To be honest with you, I didn’t expect Grandma


to be so direct, even to the point where she didn’t even leave Julian any chance to talk back.”


Natalie smiled. Mrs. Lance’s tone was indeed fairly blunt to Julian. Presumably, President Graham had never been treated like this since he was a young boy.


Everything was okay if this was not brought up but when it came to what had happened just now, Mrs.


Lance’s anger flared up again. She straightened her spine and placed the teacup she had just picked up


heavily on the table. “He just started hitting Jerry. He was challenging the Lance family. How could I be kind


to him?” she said


“If he doesn’t respect others, he doesn’t deserve others to respect. Just as simple as that. If it weren’t for the


fact that the Graham family is predominant in Los Angeles and the Lance family is inconvenient to provoke, I


would have stopped talking nonsense and given him a lesson directly.”


Natalie smiled a little at the corners of her mouth, and her tone was also tinged with a smile.” So you didn’t


have much expression just now because you were suppressing your anger in your heart, weren’t you?”


The implication was that what you said so mercilessly just now was actually a manifestation of restraint and


if you didn’t restrain yourself, you would swear him, wouldn’t you?


“That’s right. If it’s not because of my status, I would have cursed him from the start.”


Natalie curled her lips, she liked Mrs. Lance’s straightforward nature. And although she had a straightforward


personality, she could completely control her temper in critical moments.


It was rare for someone to be able to freely retract and release like this.


With her admiration for Mrs. Lance’s temperament, she decided to try her utmost to practise the Abaca


Project.


“But after Miss Spears helped our company complete this project, although we maybe still can’t surpass the Graham family, we’re at least as strong as them. At that time, if Julian bothers us again, the Lance family


wouldn’t be afraid of him!” Mrs. Lance turned at Natalie.


Natalie pursed her lips and said, “Don’t worry, the Abaca Project will definitely Increase the influence of the


Lance family several times. By then, you won’t be frightened of the Graham family.


The wrinkles on Mrs. Lance’s face brought a smile; she repeatedly cheered.


!


Natalie lowered her head for a moment. It was already afternoon.


She took a few steps back and was ready to leave. “Since Julian has already left and there is nothing urgent


now, I will leave first,” she said.


She was originally afraid that Julian would really attack Jerry so it could be said that she was forced to stay


at the Lance’s house. After this issue was resolved, she didn’t need to stay there any longer.


And she had already promised the Lance family to seriously conduct the Abaca Project. Since the agreement


was reached, it required some effort and a lot of time to make it.


Since she took her seat, Mrs. Lance had been begging her several times, both openly and secretly, to pay


more attention to the Abaca Project.


Although not explicitly stated, Natalie understood in her heart that Mrs. Lance was actually reminding her that the Lance family was very anxious about the Abaca Project and hoped that she could manage it as soon.


as possible.


Seeing that Natalie was about to leave, Mrs. Lance quickly greeted Jerry and said, “Miss Spears is leaving.”


come and send her off.”


“Okay,” Jerry nodded. “Miss Spears, please, this way.”


He took the lead and guided Natalie. After reaching the position at the entrance of the private room, he


stopped and quietly waited for Natalie to follow.


Natalie also nodded and said. “Okay.”


After that, she turned round to simply bid farewell to Mrs. Lance, then walked out of the private room with Jerry side by side.


“Oh, by the way, Mr. Lance, can you do me a favour?” As she was about to reach the gate, Natalie suddenly


spoke up.


Upon hearing Natalie’s request from him, Jerry almost immediately stopped and looked serious, “Yes. Sure. What can I do for you? As long as there is anything that can help you, I will do my best to do it.”


Natalie spoke up. “Actually, it’s not a big problem. I just want to ask you to abide by the confidentiality agreement and never expose my identity. After all, once my identity is exposed, I may face some


danger.”


The matter was of great importance, she still needed to give some advice or even warnings.


Jerry nodded and said, “Don’t worry. The Lance family understands the spirit of a contract. Since we have signed a confidentiality contract, we will definitely keep it confidential.”


“And just now when Julian asked, I didn’t say anything. I didn’t say anything today and I won’t say anything in


the future.”


His tone was decisive and convincing.


“Hmm, because only your family in the entire Los Angeles knows my identity, I feel a bit uneasy. But hearing you say that, I feel relieved,” Natalie spoke softly.


The two of them walked and talked, and soon walked out of the Lance’s house. Knowing that Natalle was about to leave, the butler had already parked Natalie’s car on the road in front of the mansion in advance.


She could drive straight away.


The two of them stopped in front of the car.


“So… I was wondering when the Abaca Project will start?”Jerry had a polite smile on his face.


“After I get back today, I can start the initial preparation by carefully planning.” Natalie took the car key from


the butler’s hand.


She guessed right; the Lance family was really anxious about this project.


“However, for insurance reasons, in the future, for the Abaca Projects, you can directly contact Ryan instead


of me,” Natalie added.


*Contact Ryan…? Is that the person who came to dinner with you yesterday?” Jerry’s expression was a bit


strange.


“Yes, if you have any needs or requirements, just tell him directly.”


The reason why she arranged this way was that if she directly interacted with the Lance family, the possibility of revealing her identity would be higher, and she did not want to take risks.


Secondly, because this was a brand new project if led by Ryan, it would greatly improve Ryan’s abilities.


However, with Ryan’s current strength, he was still unable to fully dominate this project and needed her


guidance…….


Upon hearing this, Jerry couldn’t help but blink.


This was actually a bit… tricky for him. Judging from Ryan’s performance yesterday, although he didn’t know. the reasons, he was sure that Ryan definitely disliked him.


He turned to communicate with Ryan… It seemed that Jerry could already picture a bad future.


Natalie looked at Jerry and found that his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, almost twisting into river shapes,


indicating his current worries.


“What’s the matter? Is there anything wrong?” She couldn’t help but speak.


“It’s nothing.” Jerry restrained his expression and put on a polite smile again. “Could you please give me Mr. Swan’s WhatsApp account later so that I can contact him directly?”


Natalie nodded and said, “No need to wait. I’ll send it to you now, I’m afraid I’ll forget later.”


“That’s okay,” Jerry took out his phone from his pocket.


At this moment, a car slowly passed the two of them. There was a charming figure sitting in the car.
