She held it up to her ear and gave it a little shake to hear what was inside, but the sound was so dull that she couldn't tell what it was.

Eventually, Sally had no choice but to throw it into the nearest trash can. “Let's not open the box this time, Nat. It could be another box of cockroaches again, and it won't be easy catching them in a place this huge.”

“Yeah, let's go!” Natalie replied, feeling relieved that Sally decided to throw it away as she had intended to do the same.

She had gotten so used to receiving unpleasant surprises that she didn't even react that strongly to people bringing her packages anymore.

The two of them continued making their way toward the lounge, and the two bodyguards outside opened the door for them. “After you, Madam.”

Natalie nodded at them in response and brought Sally into the lounge with her.

The kids were watching television inside and came running over the moment they saw them enter. “Are you finished with the competition, Mommy?”

“Not yet. I still have to continue competing in the afternoon,” Natalie replied as she bent down to hug them.

As the kids were turning five soon, she found it a little painful when they bumped into her thighs.

Had they been a year older, she wouldn't even dare let them throw themselves at her like that.

“The bodyguards brought us our lunch, Nat!” Sally said excitedly while pointing at the food on the table.

Ever since he knew that Jacqueline was there, Shane told Natalie to not eat at the clubhouse cafeteria as nobody knew if she had bribed the staff there.

To play it safe, he had the bodyguards purchase their meals from different restaurants every day and deliver them to the clubhouse instead.

That way, he could prevent Sean and Jacqueline from sabotaging their food as they wouldn't know which restaurant they were buying from.

“Yeah, I see it. Come on, let's all gather around for lunch!” Natalie said with a smile while holding both her kids by the hand.

A knock was heard on the lounge door halfway through their meal.

Natalie placed her cutlery down and shouted, “Come in!”
