Natalie’s blunt words wiped the smile right off Samuel’s face.

Natalie bore a striking resemblance to her mother, Audrey, with her smooth skin, statuesque figure, and an innate allure contradicting her innocent–looking face. Her eyes were clear and pure, like those of a girl untouched by the world’s shadows.-

Before she left for her studies abroad, she was still budding, but now she had blossomed into a breathtaking beauty.

It was her currency in a world where looks could open doors. She was young and pretty. There were always older tycoons drawn to her for that very reason.

With that said, he stood up and left the living room, not giving Natalie a chance to refuse.
