Chapter 776 Suspicious Circumstances

“Give me more time! I can turn this around! Once we’re on top again, I promise to double your salary-”

Before Thomas could finish, the assistant hung up the phone. A beeping tone was all he heard from the other end.

“B*stard!” Thomas bellowed as he threw the phone in his hand, gritting his teeth in frustration.

After Yara’s disappearance, his servants in his home and his employees in his company resigned one after another.

Despite their apparent loyalty to him in the past, nothing Thomas said at that point could convince anybody to even

come close to him.

Not a single one is left to help me at the merest sign of disaster!

As a result of his foul mood, the wound on his left hand festered. It became so bad that the severe pain kept him up

at night.

Thomas could not bear it any longer. Fumbling for the painkillers on the coffee table, he swallowed the pills with a

gulp of water and felt slightly better.

Sprawled helplessly on his carpet, Thomas knew that only Natalie could save him at this juncture.

As long this daughter of mine can forgive me, I have a chance of reattaining my past glories.

Over the following couple of days, Natalie had been bombarded with Thomas’ requests to speak across every

communication medium conceivable.

Yandel watched Natalie end the call for what seemed like the twentieth time as he was seated in her office. “This

old man actually got a hold of your contact information, Boss,” he said with a frown. “You’re his last chance for

salvation, it seems.”

There was no change in Natalie’s expression. “When a person is desperate enough, any form of therapy will seem

like salvation. Thomas seems to have forgotten that I was the biggest catalyst to have put him in this wretched

situation he is in today. If he tries reaching to me for help, he will only fall quicker and more painfully.”

Yandel smiled at the capacity of the beautiful woman before him for cruelty. “This acquisition will be completed in

about five days, Boss. By then, Dexmed Pharmaceutical will become part of Dream, and Thomas will fall as its

CEO.”

Natalie nodded with a smirk on the corner of her mouth. “After years of waiting, this day has finally come.”

Later that afternoon, Natalie received an email from Thomas.

Just when Natalie was about to drag it to the spam folder out of habit, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the title of

the email. You don’t have to reply to this, it wrote, but aren’t you curious about how your grandfather died?

“How did Grandpa die back then?” Natalie murmured, her heart tightening suddenly.

After investigating the case all those years, Natalie had never come close to cracking the case except for some

small, misleading facts surrounding the circumstances of Arnold’s death.

Within a short period of time, Thomas had been able to embezzle Grandpa’s property and replace the owner of

Dexmed Pharmaceutical from Bayer to Nichols. He must have participated in the conspiracy back then and knew

how Grandpa died!

Though Natalie was comfortable ignoring her estranged father, she could not ignore the possibility of uncovering

the truth.

Intrigued, she clicked on the email only to find that there was no text in the main body. Staring at her in the middle

of the screen was a string of numbers similar to a phone number.

Natalie made the call without thinking.

Sure enough, Thomas’ voice answered. “I knew that you would call, Nat.”

“Since you have it all worked out,” Natalie said coldly, “then you’ll also know why I’m calling. I just want to know the

truth about Grandpa’s death. He didn’t die of natural causes, did he? It was murder.”

Under ordinary circumstances, Natalie would not have deigned to even speak with Thomas. However, she knew

that her father would not relinquish the truth if she did not play along.

“No matter what, Nat, I’m still your father!” Thomas laughed dryly before continuing, “It’s a little strange to talk

about this over the phone. Besides, messages will get distorted and feelings will get hurt. For the sake of ensuring

that you are properly informed, let’s meet and air out our past grievances. What say you?”
