Chapter 701 Secrets Exposed
“What are you doing, Dad? Who are you with?” Yara asked when she heard him panting heavily.
Thomas hadn’t told Yara about Yeva as he felt ashamed of having a mistress about the same age as his daughter.
“A friend of mine ran into some trouble, so I went to help him take care of it.” Having gotten used to telling lies, Thomas was able to easily make something up on the spot.
“It’s only three in the afternoon, Dad. I went looking for you in your office, but you were nowhere to be found, so I thought something might’ve happened to you. Anyway, you should return to the office if you’re done helping your friend out. I want to discuss Dexmed Pharmaceutical’s future publicity campaign with you in person,” Yara said with a frown.
As Thomas was also concerned about Dexmed Pharmaceutical’s development, he agreed to her request without any hesitation. “Got it. I’ll head over right away. Honestly, I’m really impressed at how well you handled this, Yara. It felt amazing watching you crush Dream Corporation!”
Yara’s response to his well-intentioned compliment was rather cold. “It’s still too early to be celebrating, Dad. Natalie won’t just sit by and watch her company go down. Unless we truly destroy Dream Corporation, it’s only a matter of time before Natalie makes a comeback!”
“Aren’t you overestimating Natalie a little too much, Yara?” Thomas asked with contempt.
“I’ll show you something when you come back to your office. You’ll see what I mean, then.”
Thomas then quickly said goodbye to Yeva and returned to his office in a hurry.
He saw Yara sitting in his chair and staring at him when he came in through the door.
“What did you want to show me, Yara?” Thomas asked anxiously.
Thomas slammed his hand against the table and began trembling in shock. He thought that Natalie had died long ago.
“Didn’t your sister die in the fire five years ago? H-How could she still be alive?”
Yara shot him a glance and said coldly, “Not only is she still alive, but you’ve even seen her countless times!”
Thomas was shocked after hearing her words. “How is that possible? This is no joking matter, Yara! The police pronounced her dead back then!”
“Natalie didn’t change her name at all. As you know, she is currently the chairwoman of Dream Corporation. She came back to get her revenge on us, Dad! You, me, and Yvonne were responsible for the fire five years ago. You two hated her for being disobedient as well as the fact that she was raised by Jennie. That was why you two helped me get rid of her instead of stopping me. That way, you two could keep your hands clean while I marry into the Bowers family and bring glory to Dexmed Pharmaceutical! What a way to kill two birds with one stone, huh?”
Hearing Yara exposed his secrets struck Thomas like a bolt from the blue.
