The sound of a sports car echoed on the suburban highway, returning to Brooks's house.
"Natalie." Henry tapped the steering wheel lightly, smiling slightly: "Did I embarrass you today?"
Natalie leaned back in her seat, glanced at him, and calmly said, "It's okay, it's best not to let yourself be surrounded by celebrities, losing all manners."
She thought of Henry's embarrassed appearance when being dragged by those women, and the corner of her lips curled up into a smile.
Henry's expression immediately changed. He stepped on the gas and sped away. "Women are so scary."
"Huh?" Natalie snorted coldly.
"Except my sister." Henry quickly added.
Natalie was still dissatisfied, looking up at him: "Is there anything else?"
Henry vehemently refuted: "Zoe is your friend, but she is not a woman."
Natalie: "..."
Zoe, who was working overtime at the company, sneezed twice.
Natalie ignored him and looked out the window.
The charming autumn, the red leaves gradually dyed the road home red, so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off it.
She received a text message.
"Boss, the tourism development project for the special town has been unanimously approved by the board of directors."
Natalie's cold eyes finally warmed up, and she tapped the screen a few times and replied.
"Take it, go see Mark with me tomorrow."
The news quickly spread.
"The sky is clear."
Henry looked at her with fresh eyebrows, as if the dark clouds in the sky had finally dissipated, "Is there anything fun?"
The beautiful scenery outside the window flashed by, and Natalie hurriedly said, "Forget it, this little matter is almost over."
Henry patted the steering wheel, feeling extremely happy: "Our Natalie is the best."
The whole family knew that Natalie had her own business, but they never asked her for help and let her cause trouble. After all, their family was so big, she didn't lack money, and she could cause trouble.

The Brooks family's living room was brightly lit.
Nathaniel sat on the sofa, his face cold.
Henry walked into the living room, then immediately stepped back, grabbing Natalie, who was standing behind.
Natalie didn't understand, so she asked: "What's the matter?"
Henry made a booing gesture: "It seems like the eldest brother is very angry."
Natalie pushed him away and walked in: "Anyway, he can't be angry with me."
As soon as he saw Natalie, Nathaniel's eyebrows and eyes relaxed, and he asked warmly, "Natalie, are you hungry?"
Natalie nodded, and the kitchen immediately served food.
The two of them ate deliciously and chatted happily, calling Henry, who was playing in the living room.
"I heard Samuel also came to Logan's birthday party. Is there anything too much?" Nathaniel's voice became even colder as he spoke.
"No," Natalie replied softly.
Henry looked dissatisfied and immediately ran from the door into the room: "Yes. That brat Samuel squeezed Natalie's hand until it was red, and you still said no."
Nathaniel immediately stared at Natalie's white arm that still had a few faint red marks, then looked at Henry with an even more frightening gaze: "Henry, I told you to take good care of Natalie, but you're still like this. Is this you taking care of her?"
Not only did he let these two divorced people meet, but he also let them flirt in front of everyone.
Henry lowered his eyes, thinking of the girls blocking his way, his voice trembling as he said: "Big brother, I..."
"He already warned Samuel." Natalie took a sip of chicken soup, her stomach warmed up, and her complexion also improved a lot: "Big brother, I'm fine."
Nathaniel gave Henry another warning look before letting him go. "Bring me a basin of cold water." Nathaniel finished speaking, his eyes lingering on her arm.
Henry thought his brother was ordering him to run faster than the servants.
Nathaniel squeezed out a wet towel and applied it to the red wound: "Natalie, don't worry about the transportation route in the East, I'll arrange it myself."
Natalie smiled slightly, as if agreeing. She knew her brother didn't want her to see Samuel again, and she also had her own matters to deal with.
Samuel was nothing to her.
"Tomorrow I'll take you to a good place to relax." Nathaniel's voice was as deep as old wine, making people intoxicated.
Henry was eating alone, seemingly having a tendency to be left behind, strongly expressing his presence: "Brother, I want to go too."
Nathaniel turned to look at him; even without saying anything, he could feel the murderous aura.
Henry closed his mouth and obediently left.
Natalie's mood improved a lot. She softly replied: "Brother, I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't go out with my friends. How about letting Brother Tam go with me?"
"He's so handsome." Nathaniel snorted coldly.
Natalie couldn't help but laugh, yawned again, tears welling up in her eyes, "Brother, I'm sleepy."
Nathaniel wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, lovingly stroked her hair, and said, "Hurry up and go upstairs to take a shower and sleep. Be careful when you go out tomorrow."
Natalie made a greeting gesture in a daze: "Understood."

The land Natalie was looking for in the north of the city was one of the ten most beautiful tourist cities, and another traffic route had also been inaugurated this year. It would be a pity not to invest in such a unique place.
Her investment and development goal this time is to build an "industrial + cultural" urban complex with its own characteristics, industrial development, green ecology, and beautiful and livable.
The local people are also very cooperative with the project, and a few people have agreed to transfer the land after a long period of lobbying, but there are still some small problems with land use approval.
Natalie came here to solve this problem.
She is a mysterious figure in the group, and she rarely solves the problem directly. Of course, the most important thing is that the people she hired are all people with extraordinary abilities, so she doesn't need to worry.
This time, Mark encountered the ringleader.
"Minister Mark, this is the final plan proposed by our group. Please take a look." Natalie wore a casual suit, looking very elegant.
Although he was bald, everything he did was very serious. Minister Mark accepted the proposal, stared at the young Natalie, and said seriously, "Little girl, can I trust you?"
The muscular woman following Natalie suddenly turned cold and was about to rush into a fight when Natalie's hand stopped her.
She still kept a gentle smile, "As long as you don't think our plan is bad because I'm young, that's enough."
Minister Mark laughed heartily, "You are a person with temperament."
"I have found an expert for you. He has a wealth of experience in developing and building unique towns. If he finds this plan to be okay, I will sign the land purchase contract immediately."
Natalie said there was no problem, but what she didn't expect was that this expert was Samuel.
"Mr. Mark, you told me to come..." Samuel stopped, he reached out his hand, and was startled by Natalie, "Natalie?"
