Chapter 405 Inhumane

The partner could be the child of a high-ranking official from a country or a relative of a major global

conglomerate.

In short, they were all from prestigious families.

And in order to ensure the marriage would be successful, when the two people were born, they would

be fed with a kind of poisonous bugs.

The history of this kind of bugs could be trace back to the royal family of the last dynasty from the

Lafayette family.

The male and female insects would live and die together. The female insects were to be planted on the

female; the male insects were planted on the male.

When the two people had sex on their wedding day, the bugs would interact with each other and they

wouldn't be poisonous anymore.

On the contrary, if the two people didn't intercourse, the poison would be diffused in their bodies until

they died in pain.

The Lafayette family was descended from the royal family. Perhaps in order to ensure the prosperity of

the family or else, they made such inhuman rules, turning all the family children from generation to

generation into pawns for marriage.

When Natalia heard this, she felt a chill down her spine.

This was incredibly creepy.

If she had not heard it with her own ears, she would not have believed such a ridiculous thing would

happen in the world!

What kind of sick person would come up with such an inhumane idea?

Wilson chuckled, "That's why your grandfather didn't allow your mother to be with him. Unfortunately,

these two were in love and didn't care about that. When your mother knew that he didn't mean to lie to

her, she didn't want to dump him and planned to elope with him instead."

"Fortunately, your grandfather found her afterwards, but your mother had been very unhappy ever

since. These two were too stubborn and there's nothing anyone can do about them."

Natalia's heart was moved.

Little did she know that this was the truth.

"And then what?" she asked softly.

"Then?" Wilson frowned and said, "Nothing happened. They never saw each other again. One day a

month later, the people we sent told us that Jade had died in a war in South Africa and he had gone

there voluntarily."

"He couldn't be with your mother, and he didn't want to accept the family's arrangement to marry that

woman, so he ran off to the war alone, and soon word came that he had died there."

"When your mother heard the news, she fell ill immediately. I found sleeping pills in her room and I

knew she wanted to commit suicide. Later, the doctor found out that she was pregnant. She pulled

herself together for this child."

He looked at Natalia and said quietly, "Lia, your mother's greatest regret was losing you, but she didn't

live long enough to get you back, and now you know where you came from. You can go to her grave

and bring her some flowers if you are willing to. It will comfort her."

Natalia clenched her fingers and then forced a smile.

"Yes, I will do that."

Then she felt like there was nothing more to say for her.

Natalia got up to leave. Wilson escorted her out of the cafe and they went their separate ways.

Nancy had dropped her off today and the car was in the parking lot not far away.

Natalia headed to the parking lot, thinking about what happened today.

She was halfway there when she heard a familiar sound.

She looked up for a moment and saw a familiar figure tugging with a middle-aged man in a fisherman's

hat around the corner.

Nancy couldn't help calling, "Laura?"

Her voice was too soft for them to hear. Seeing Laura getting into the car and leaving, Natalia opened

her mouth, wanting to say hello.

But Laura was moving too fast. As soon as she got into the car, she started the engine and the car

sped off like an arrow.

The middle - aged man got up from the ground and cursed.

"You don't fucking keep your word! You'll see what will happen next!"

When he had finished, he turned round and saw two people standing not far away.

In the dim light, he did not see who was standing there and thought they were just two passers-by.

So he spat angrily again, "Pooh! What the hell!"

Natalia frown.

Watching the middle-aged man swear away, Nancy spoke again.

"Why is Laura here? The man... What does he have to do with her?"

Natalia shook her head.

She didn't know much about Laura.

It just looked like the guy and Laura were pretty close.

Although it was someone else's private business, Star Entertainment put a lot of efforts on Laura and

Natalia didn't want any accidents to happen.

So she called Maria right away and asked her to keep an eye on Laura when she was free to see if

there was anything wrong with Laura.

Maria said yes. After she hung up the phone, Natalia got in the car. Nancy drove her back to Pinewood

Manor.

The next day was Natalia day-off.

After she woke up early in the morning, she found Archie had left the house for work.

He had been very busy recently. He wanted to spare time to accompany her, so he wanted to finish the

next few days' work in these two days.

Natalia felt sorry for him. She knew that with great power came great responsibility.

He didn't have to be involved in the Cercis investigation.

But he was concerned and he insisted to be with her. She couldn't stop him from doing that.

To make him feel better, she had to agree.

This kept Archie busy and now she was the one with the sparest time in the house.

After wandering around the house and finding nothing to do, Natalia decided to cook and make the

man a lunchbox as a reward for his two days of hard work.

They already had some ingredients at home. Natalia was unsure of her cooking skills and worried shenovelbin

would make a mess, so she asked Mrs. Dottie to help her.

Mrs. Dottie was happy to help her. As an old servant who watched Archie grow up, there was nothing

she liked more than to see the young couple showing affection to each other.

After nearly two hours of work under the guidance of Mrs. Dottie, a lunchbox was finally prepared.

Well, it was not very pretty, but Natalia tried it and it tasted good.

It was twelve o 'clock and it was lunch break now. Archie didn't usually take his break on time, so she

could make it on time.

Natalia took her lunchbox and drove to his office.
