Chapter 497 Fruitful Efforts
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the day of the medical conference had arrived.
Natalie had weaved her shoulder-length black hair into an elegant braid and was wearing a pleated
chiffon blouse with black palazzo trousers. She did not accessorize her outfit much, and she looked
professional and competent.
Even though she was still wearing the mask, the woman exuded a powerful aura that made her stand out
among the other women who had specially dressed up for the event and had heavy makeup on.
Natalie arrived at the conference venue together with Ross.
As the pair walked in slowly alongside each other, Ross turned to look at Natalie and said, “Ms. Nichols,
you should be the one presenting later instead of me as you were the one who led the research and
development of the cancer drug. We are into the third phase of testing the drug right now, doing clinical
trials. If it’s approved, countless cancer patients would benefit from it.”
“Ross, I know very well how much effort you’ve put into the drug,” Natalie replied placidly. “Besides, like
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhat you mentioned, what’s important is that our drug has the potential to bring hope to cancer patients.
As such, who is the one doing the presentation doesn’t really matter.”
Looking at the confident expression on the woman’s face, Ross could not help but feel his spirits rising.
He was once cheated on and betrayed by women, and was down in the dumps for a long time because
of that.
However, ever since he met Natalie, his life had taken a complete turn. Not only had he successfully
gotten over his past humiliations, but he was also able to continue working in the medical field that he
was passionate about. Besides, he was even given the opportunity to attend the prestigious conference
and speak on behalf of Dream.
It felt as if he was in a beautiful dream, but he knew that he was having those experiences in real life.
If the woman had not found him, he would never have been given such an opportunity.
Ross swore silently to himself while walking next to Natalie.
He had decided that he would work for the woman for the rest of his life and serve her to the best of his
ability. He would do his best to complete the tasks she needed him to do.
Meanwhile, Natalie, who was completely unaware of the flood of emotions that was going on in Ross,
was busy surveying their surroundings, wondering if Malcolm would also show up at the conference.
Somewhere close by, Samuel was standing behind the curtains with his arms crossed. Putting a finger to
his lower lip, he gazed intently at Natalie, who was no doubt the most charismatic person among the
crowd.
As Centurion Corporation did not have any dealings in the medical industry, Samuel had no obligations
to attend the conference. However, on second thought, he decided to take part in it as he knew that
Natalie would be there. He was worried that the woman would choose to wear a revealing outfit and
wanted to oversee the event personally.
As such, he was glad to see that Natalie was dressed rather conservatively. Her back and legs were all
fully covered up. Even her neck was well-covered and only a small part of it was showing.
It seemed to the man that the hickeys that he gave her the night before had achieved their desired effect.
Even if Natalie had worn a more revealing outfit, it would just be as good as telling everyone that she
was already taken.

Although Samuel was usually a calm man with good self-discipline, he had been finding great
satisfaction in staking his claim on Natalie ever since he fell in love with her.
Although it was extremely childish, it had never failed to give him joy.
Samuel could not help but smile as he continued looking at Natalie.
“Rascal, why are you here instead of sitting comfortably in the VIP lounge?” An elderly man who was
dressed in black stopped next to Samuel and teased, “Did you just spot a pretty woman?”
“Yup.” Samuel admitted and nodded unhesitatingly.
“They are just a bunch of women with thick make-up on. You should just treat them as eye candies and
not take them seriously.” Malcolm frowned and waved his hand dismissively before continuing, “Rascal,
you’re in luck today. One of my other apprentices whom you have not met before is also here today.
She’s both beautiful and capable and is a good match for you. I’m not being shameless, but if I were forty
years younger, I would definitely be pursuing her!”
Samuel was totally not interested in the woman whom his master was trying to ship him with.
“I guess you do have some self-awareness,” Samuel cast a glance at the old man and continued, “To
know that you’re very shameless indeed.”
