Chapter 115 Misunderstanding

“Say that again.” Mrs. Lance put down her chopsticks and looked serious.

She seemed to have heard the person’s words clearly, but she didn’t believe what she had just heard.

“Mr. Lance… Something has happened to him!” “The waiter’s chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath

before finally getting the words out of breath.

This time, Mrs. Lance finally understood.

“How could anything happen to Jerry? What the hell is going on?!” Mrs. Lance stood up in a hurry.

Natalie had a worried look in her eyes..

“Julian, he… He wanted to force Mr. Lance to sign the contract, but Mr. Lance refused… Julian was about to

hurt Mr. Lance, and the bodyguard was too strong for Mr. Lance…” The waiter sputtered these words.

“If things keep going like this, Mr. Lance’s life is in danger…”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lance’s wrinkled hands trembled slightly. “How dare he! How dare he hurt my

grandson in front of me?!”

Natalie frowned even harder. Julian wanted to hurt Jerry just because Jerry refused to work with the Graham

family…?

It was very unlike him.

Julian was not the kind of person who would directly hurt someone with a single word. And he had his own. principles in business. He understood that business was like war, and that people could be shot in the back

or even broken to pieces if they made the wrong move.

So he was very cautious in his actions.

Could Julian, being so discreet, really hurt Jerry?… Or was it the Graham family’s last resort, forcing him to

abandon his principles?

Natalie thought about it and decided that the latter was more likely.

“How dare he did that in our territory? Did he really think we’re pushovers?!” “Mrs. Lance went straight out.

“And go downstairs and call all the bodyguards!”

The waiter nodded at the command and immediately trotted out.

Mrs. Lance walked towards the outside and suddenly remembered that there was someone else in the room. She turned her head and spoke in a somewhat flustered tone, ‘Ms. Spears, I am so sorry that I can’t entertain

you today.”

Natalie saw that Mrs. Lance had not failed to apologize in such an urgent situation. She got up quickly and

said, “You should go. It’s Mr. Lance’s safety that matters.”

Mrs. Lance nodded and disappeared at the door.

Only Natalie was left alone

Her furrowed brow had not eased from the beginning, but now she stood in place with a solemn expression.

She was wondering whether she should go along. Mrs. Lance didn’t even forget to apologize to Jerry before she left. Now, instead of doing anything, she just left.

Did it make her seem too heartless? But even if she did, she wouldn’t be much help, would she?

Natalie pursed her lips, her heart wavering
