My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 217

Thomson looked into Tobias' eyes and was certain that Tobias was not a threat to him.

If Tobias asked about the incident, he had his reasons.

After all, that organization offended many.

Therefore, he told Tobias what he wanted to know in exchange for an opportunity to expand his business in Glevania. He was happy to do so.

Most importantly, this incident happened so long ago that it could not cause any damage to the Perry Group's reputation.

Tobias's breathing became heavy instantly.

Jack Perry.

Could he be the Jack that Natalie was dreaming about?

Things were turning clear to Tobias.

Thomson mentioned that his son was in the country since he was a child. Did he know Natalie?

When Natalie almost got taken advantage of, Jack must have saved her and killed the men who hurt her in the crossfire.

If a 12-year-old boy was tall enough, he would be about the same height as a shorter adult.

If he had a weapon, it would make sense for him to successfully kill them if he caught them off guard.

Moments later, Tobias finally spoke, "Mr. Perry, would you mind if I meet your son?"

Thomson's gaze shifted slightly.

"Sure, Mr. Whitlock. In fact, I've always wanted to know what happened and why my son had to kill the men. Whenever I asked him, he refused to tell me. If you could find out some answers, you could help to clear the doubts I have."

In a private room, Jack met with Tobias.

The two men had similar physiques; one had a strong and cold aura and the other was gentle and warm.

Jack's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Tobias.

He was no stranger to the president of the YS Group, but he never expected Tobias to be connected to the Perry Group in any way. Moreover, little did he know that Tobias was looking for him.

Thomson had already explained the stakes to Jack.

He told Jack that Tobias had a few questions to ask. In return, he promised to give the piece of land in Agaphen City to the Perry family.

"Mr. Whitlock, what would you like to know? I'll tell you everything I know," Jack said to Tobias.

Tobias looked at Jack and said, "Mr. Perry, I want to ask, why did you kill the men from Loli Hunter many years ago?"

Tobias did not sugarcoat his words and went straight to the point.

He had been doing business for many years so he was good with people.

Thomson was an experienced businessman, so he had to be careful and polite, but not for Jack.

He could tell at a glance that Jack was honest and forthright. Excessive hypocrisy would only disgust him.

Jack's expression changed.

The room fell dead silent instantly.

Tobias locked his gaze on Jack the whole time.

After a long time, Jack finally said, "Mr. Whitlock, I don't know the purpose of you asking, but I have the right to remain silent. Give me a valid reason to tell you what you want to know."

It was unimaginable for a ten-year-old girl to kill a few men, but it was the truth.

At that moment, the men were focused on Jack, who was slamming the door. As a result, they completely let their guard down against the ten-year-old girl.

"When she opened the door, her whole body was covered in blood and she was trembling. I was aware that murder was punishable by death. When the police arrived, I pushed her out of the room and confessed to the police that I killed the men and that it had nothing to do with her. She did not agree with what I was doing and started crying by the door until her mother took her away."

"That was what happened." Jack looked at Tobias when he finished.

His voice was trembling slightly.

Tobias was extremely petrified.

He was sure that Natalie was the girl in Jack's story.

How could a ten-year-old Natalie kill a few men? Tobias guessed that she was pushed to her wit's end. Otherwise, it was impossible!

She probably went berserk, which caused her to be amnesiac.

The truth was revealed.

This was the truth sealed in Natalie's mind.

Natalie was not taken advantage of, but the traumatic experience caused her to lose her memory.

She killed several men with a kitchen knife. How could a ten-year-old girl bear this?

A trace of pity arose in Tobias' heart.

Other girls were loved and cared for at that age, but Natalie had been through so much. How had she gotten through all these years?

"Mr. Whitlock, everything is over. I've told you the truth. This is a traumatic experience that was left as a bygone. I hope you won't speak of this to anyone. After our conversation today, I will not talk about it either," Jack said.
