“I’m really laughing now. Does she really think she’s good enough? She has no ability, and her temper is awful. She can’t even compare to a single strand of Mrs. Foster’s hair!”
I watched as Natalie’s face twisted into an ugly expression.
She stormed into the pantry, smashing the mug in her hand on the ground with a loud crash.
“You bunch of good–for–nothings, how dare you gossip about me behind my back! Do you want me to tell my brother to fire you all right now?”
“And you think Chloe Hayes is some kind of saint? My brother only married her because of me!”
Natalie was ranting when suddenly she frowned, clutching her chest as she crouched down in pain.
At that moment, Lucas came running in a panic and scooped Natalie up in his arms.
As he carried Natalie past me, he was still nervously reminding her:
“Natalie, calm down. Take deep breaths. Your heart can’t handle stress.”
After the two left, I immediately took the elevator to the top floor where Lucas’s office was located.
Lucas would usually be in his office at this time, but with this little incident involving Natalie, he wasn’t.
And his personal secretary, Leo Anderson, happened to have an appointment elsewhere.
I entered the office quite easily. Due to his hasty departure, Lucas hadn’t even locked his computer screen.
I quickly found traces of Natalie.
Lucas had saved Natalie’s photos in various places on his computer, so he could see her face at any moment.
Even when he claimed to be going abroad for business trips, he was actually accompanying Natalie, who was hiding overseas, taking photos
and traveling together.
I couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. Lucas’s true heart was indeed unpredictable.
Suddenly, my gaze stopped on a folder with a very ordinary name, but it had the highest level of privacy settings.
Something in my heart told me this was what I was looking for.
Due to security requirements, the system would automatically alert security if the password was entered incorrectly three times.
I suppressed the surging emotions in my heart and entered Natalie’s birthday with trembling fingers.
[Incorrect password]
I tried entering my birthday.
But the same prompt appeared: [Incorrect password]
At this moment, a string of numbers suddenly flashed through my mind.
I cautiously entered them.
Just as I clicked the confirm button with the mouse, I heard Leo’s voice from outside:
*Mr. Foster, you’re back.”
Leo had barely finished speaking when Lucas forcefully pushed open the office door,
I hid in the rest area inside his office, my back pressed lightly against the door, not daring to breathe.

Fortunately, the alarm hadn’t gone off, which meant the password had been entered successfully.
I had only hastily exited the previous interface due to the urgent need to hide.
If Lucas sat down at the computer desk and took one look, he would discover the breach.
But clearly, he wasn’t in the mood for that right now.

up a heart defibrillator, waving it at Lucas.
Lucas quickly turned back, grabbed the defibrillator from his hand, and rushed out of the office without looking back.
Even though Natalie hadn’t been in Ocean City for these years, Lucas still kept defibrillators on hand everywhere because of her heart
condition.
At home, in the office, and even in the car.
I couldn’t help but smile coldly. Perhaps Lucas could take care of her for now with these things, but what doesn’t belong to Natalie will eventually have to be returned.
The office once again fell silent.
Leo had thoughtfully closed the office door when seeing Lucas off.
I quickly returned to the desk, entered the password, and opened that highest–level encrypted file.
This string of numbers was a date I would never forget in my life.
[1121.]
It was the day Lucas and I got our marriage certificate.
It was also the day he successfully signed a letter of understanding in my name, allowing Natalie to escape legal punishment.
I inserted a USB drive and waited for the files to copy while quickly scanning through the contents.
It was indeed what I was looking for.
Even though I had worked at the company for four years, Lucas still kept some secrets from me.
This file was one of the liaison projects he had always refused to let me access.
What was puzzling was that this project wasn’t very profitable, but money was constantly being poured into it, and Lucas personally pushed it forward.
Even after I had worked hard to enter the core leadership, I hadn’t heard any whispers of Lucas wanting to abandon this project,
It wasn’t until recently that I discovered the overseas partner behind the project had a surname of West.
All clues pointed to Charlie West.
I had already relented and forgiven Charlie two years ago, and Lucas could openly cooperate with Charlie now.
But he still secretly pushed forward this project that could be considered a loss.
