Chapter 98 The Obedient Daughter–in–law

After lunch, Irwin dropped Natalie back to the office. As soon as Natalie entered the office, she felt that

something was amiss.

Karina gave her a meaningful look in the direction of her office.

“I never knew you had this side to you!” he said.

“What? Did you think I was just an obedient daughter–in–law who only knows how to cook and serve the elderly at home?”

The once obedient demeanor now seemed repulsive in retrospect.

To put it nicely, she was an obedient daughter–in–law. But to Rebecca and the others, she had always
