Chapter 1016

Samuel didn't say anything else and smiled.

Both of them are so sweet! The children covered their mouths and giggled in secret as they watched

their parents acting lovey-dovey with each other.

Emma smiled too. “That's true. Of course, he's outstanding. After all, he's your man, Ms. Nichols.”

She and the family of seven had a joyous breakfast.

After breakfast, Natalie was about to head to the company as usual. Before she did, she went to the

café where she and Anna had agreed to meet.

She arrived first, so she ordered a cup of coffee and sat at a table next to the window.

Anna arrived not too long after.

As the bell at the entrance of the café rang, Natalie saw Anna approach her in a gray dress.

It was more than twenty days ago since they last met. Anna appeared to be in a much better state. Her

skin certainly looked far more vibrant compared to before. Moreover, there was an air of confidence

and independence around her, which made people feel delighted when looking at her.

Natalie was stunned for a second, though she was happy for Anna's positive transformation.

“Over here, Anna.” She smiled and waved.

Anna ordered a cup of cappuccino before sitting across from Natalie.

“You look great,” Natalie praised from the bottom of her heart. “You're looking more and more different

from when I saw you at the casino. A woman does look better when she's confident.”

Anna shook her head with a smile. “No need to praise me like that, Natalie. There's no way I'm better

looking than you! Anyway, I have good news! My court case with Caleb has been going pretty

smoothly. My daughter will stay with me, and he won't get even a cent! When I saw him begging me for

forgiveness in tears, I was on cloud nine.”

Natalie commented with glee, “He deserved it!”

The two women exchanged a glance and chuckled.

After they finished catching up with each other's lives, they talked about Helma.

Anna's expression changed slightly when she finished listening to the story. After a while, her

expression returned to normal. The shift in her expression looked quite ambiguous.

Natalie spoke. “Anna, you...”

“The Leitz family holds a very prestigious position in Loang, and Helma is their family's prized

daughter.” Anna didn't avoid the topic and spoke straightforwardly. “I'm confident in my design

capabilities. However, I'm worried her standard will be so high that she won't consider it. “

Natalie took a sip of her coffee and smiled mischievously. “Do you really think you must rely on jewelry

and makeup to get Prince Jonathan to fall for Helma at the banquet?”

“Isn't that the case?” Anna furrowed her eyebrows. “Didn't Helma spend so much money hiring Dream

Jewelry for that purpose?”

“Let me put this in another way. Do you think Prince Jonathan will fall for me just because I show up at

the banquet wearing the most beautiful jewelry? “

That example instantly helped Anna understand something.

“I took on the request because of the Leitz family's status. As you said before, they are related to the

royal family, which made them superior to the Stone family. If Prince Jonathan is a little bit smart, he'll

know that he needs to get together with the prized daughter of the Leitz family to ascend to the throne.”

Natalie put her coffee down, met Anna's eyes, and continued, “That's why your design simply needs to

fit with Helma's image and the setting of the banquet to accomplish your mission. As for the 'difficulties,'

it's just a way for me to deal with the Leitz family. Helma is actually quite naïve. She thought a marriage

of convenience depends on how much the prince will like her, but she has no idea that a marriage of

convenience values what benefits she can bring to the table. So, do you still think it's hard, Anna?”
