Chapter 1046 Father Wants To Get Us A Stepmother After Natalieâs departure, Geert returned to his study. The young lady looks exactly like the woman in the painting. Judging from her age, I think she must be the womanâs daughter. I can use her to find her motherâs whereabouts.
Geert couldnât help but grow excited when he realized how useful Natalie was. To me, itâs just a painting of a woman. However, the woman in the painting is extremely important to the man. The Leitz family and I stand to lose nothing. I must help him find the woman!
Heidi and Helma noticed how overjoyed he was. Helma wrung her hands nervously. Iâm already upset that Heidi suddenly moved into the house. I canât accept Natalie if Father takes a liking to her when she is around my age!
Heidi took one look at Helmaâs frown as the corner of her mouth quirked up. âHelma, did you see Fatherâs stare?â
Without waiting for Helmaâs reply, she continued, âFather is usually reserved and polite, but he couldnât keep his eyes off Ms.
Nichols. Do you think Father is thinking of getting us a stepmother?â
Anger crossed Helmaâs face. âHeidi, what are you talking about?â
âHelma, calm down! You know Iâm not talking nonsense. I donât think we should blame Father. Itâs all Ms. Nicholsâ fault.â Unlike Helma, Heidi didnât give a hoot about Geertâs private life.
She said that on purpose so Helma would grow to despise Natalie. The more Helma hated Natalie, the better.
Heidi rested her chin on her palm and kept feeding the flames. âHelma, Father might not have a royal title, but he is treated like one in the royal family. If heâs a womanizer, we wonât be his only offspring. Besides, if my mother hadnât saved him when he was exiled, she wouldnât have given birth to me. Didnât you notice how dazed he was? Iâve never seen him act that way. Ms. Nichols must be a vixen full of tricks as she managed to make Father fall for her easily.â

âHeidi!â Helma stopped her hastily.
âDid I say anything wrong, Helma?â Heidi sighed and shook her head. âForget it. If you donât like hearing this, I wonât mention it anymore. Iâm full; Iâm going to head upstairs now.â
Heidi stood up and sauntered away. Her words left a deep impression on Helma. Natalie is a vixen. After leaving the Leitz residence, Natalie headed to a shopping mall instead of going home.
It would be Yumiâs birthday soon.
Yumi wasnât her biological child, but she had already adopted her and she treated her the same way she treated the other kids.
Natalie strolled around a shop and decided to buy a music box.
There was a purple bunny in the middle of the crystal ball inside the music box.
When the handle was turned, the crystal ball in the music box would turn. Snowflakes would fall on the little bunny as a Loang song about snow was played.
Yumi might be adopted in Chanaea, but she was a Loang national by blood.
Thinking that Yumi would love this music box, Natalie decided to buy it.
âHello, please wrap this up for me.â Something occurred to Natalie, and she added, âI need a card to write my wishes, too.â
âSure.â
Soon, Natalie took the wrapped present with her card and left the shopping mall.
She had barely taken a few steps when she heard two gunshots ringing in the air. Bang! Bang!
