Chapter 207
Chapter 207
There was a hint of an oppressive force in Tobias¹ eyes.
Natalie gulped nervously.
She suddenly felt that Remington was definitely not simple. His last name was also Whitlock!
She did not read all those romance novels for nothing.
Romance novels were infamous for a plot similar to this. The fight between two brothers. Could Remington and Tobias actually be brothers? And Remington purposely hid her last name from her because he wanted to use her against Tobias?
Natalie thought about it and felt something was wrong.
Remington had known her for so long, but he had never fished any information about Tobias from her.
Furthermore, he did not look like Tobias. Other than being extremely handsome, he looked nothing like Tobias.
Over here, Natalie suppressed the doubts in her heart and told Tobias everything.
The frown between Tobias' brows grew deeper.
"He is purposefully getting close to you, Natalie," Tobias suddenly said.
There was no emotion in his voice.
"Why would he purposely approach me?" Natalie NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
suddenly felt nervous. "Is he coming for you?"
Natalie did not want it to be true.
She was quite fond of Remington. Of course, not in a man and woman sort of way, but as a friend.
Natalie did not want to find out that he turned out to be bad.
The expression on Tobias' face changed slightly.
"I'm not sure."
"Is he a bad guy?" Natalie's gaze tightened.
"He is not a bad person."
Natalie just breathed a sigh of relief, but then Tobias added, "But he's not a good person either."
All of a sudden, Natalie felt very anxious..
Her eyelashes fluttered and said. "I thought he was a friend."
Tobias gave Natalie a deep look and said, "As your husband, I have no right to interfere with how you make friends but you'd better minimize your contact with him.”
Natalie asked naturally, "Why?"
She wanted to know whether they were friend or foe.
Tobias' eyes darkened, "Because he's my younger brother."
Natalie's head was throbbing.
Although she had an initial assumption, she never expected it to be true.
Remington and Tobias were actually brothers!
"But your mother seemed to have said that you are the only son." It suddenly occurred to Natalie that Cecilia seemed to have mentioned it to her that she only had Tobias as her one and only son.
"We share the same father but have different mothers," Tobias said.
Natalie immediately understood.
This was exactly like in the romance novel. They were half-brothers!
No wonder others said that romance novels were a reflection of actual life. It turned out to be true!
"Then do you have any family feud? Is he trying to get close to me to take over your position?!" Natalie had her imagination running.
Tobias squinted at Natalie and said, "Don't overthink it."
They continued their conversation and entered the cruise ship. Tobias took Natalie to the elevator and pressed the button to the second floor.
The performance was on the second floor. Natalie could tell that all the performers were all the best A-list celebrities.
Tobias guided Natalie to the front row seats. There were two empty seats in the front row as if they were specially prepared for Tobias and Natalie.
Next to Tobias was a strict looking man. His face was square and his eyes were piercing.
After Tobias sat down, he reached out his hand and said, "Mr. Perry, nice to meet you."
Tobias was stronger than Thomson in terms of
business status.
However, Thomson was, after all, one year older than Tobias. As such, Tobias should greet him first to show his respect.
Thomson's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
Of course, he heard about Tobias a long time ago and had always wanted to connect with him, but he never had the chance to.
After all, Tobias never participated in any kind of business networking events to expand his social network.
However, he never expected Tobias to be at the Princess Cruise's charity event. Moreover, Tobias, who was usually cold in demeanor, reached out to him first.
Thomson also held out his hand. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Whitlock."
After the two of them greeted each other, Tobias quietly looked at Natalie's face. "Mr. Perry, this is Natalie, my wife.'¹
Natalie was watching the wonderful performance.
Usually, these stars could only be seen on TV. Natalie could not believe that they were all right before her. She certainly would not miss this opportunity.
However, she did not expect Tobias to suddenly introduce her.
She was not familiar with such social settings, so she could only quickly respond and smile, "Hello, Mr. Perry."
The other party also politely smiled at Natalie, and then casted his attention on Tobias.
From the look of it, Thomson was extremely eager to know Tobias.
There was a flash of dim light in Tobias' eyes, but it soon disappeared.
How Thomson was reacting was how Tobias expected him to be.
Previously, he asked Benjamin to investigate and knew that Thomson did not have an estranged daughter.
From how Thomson reacted earlier, it was obvious that he did not know Natalie.
However, if they did not know each other, why did he take action to cover up the death of those men?
Could this be just a coincidence? Or did he make any mistakes in his assumptions?
A cloud of suspicion rose in Tobias' heart but he continued to entertain Thomson as if nothing was bothering him.
The performance was over.
Next in line was the charity auction. Natalie was a little bored. Even she could tell that this so-called charity auction was selling items based on looks.
A beautiful female movie star was auctioning her own art.
That piece of art looked like it was chewed on by a dog.
Then a fat president bought this piece of art. When she walked down the stage, the president was very
eager and touched the movie star's hand.
As for the movie star, her smile was particularly coquettish.
Natalie thought, "It's just a deal. Who knows if the so-called charity money from the auction was actually going to be donated? Maybe it has fallen into this movie star's pocket."
Susan was next to auction her most personal items.
What she auctioned was a bracelet she brought with her.
On the stage, she was telling the story of how emotionally attached she was to the bracelet as if it was her own life.
Natalie was lost for words.
Was it not just a bracelet? Was it really worth it?
At the auction, Susan kept casting her eyes on Remington and even Natalie noticed it.
However, Remington bought this bracelet.
The corner of Natalie's mouth twitched.
She thought, "There's really no need for Remington to bid for her bracelet. It was obvious that Susan was thirsty and desperate. Susan would willingly climb into his bed without him needing to bid for her bracelet."
Meanwhile, Tobias also bought a few pieces of paintings.
Since he participated in this charity event, as famous as he was in the business world, he could not go home empty-handed.
