Since Robert's death, who in Simeria could truly stay out of its affairs? Although the Jarvis family had been relatively quiet lately, Natalie realized how terrifying the lurking dangers truly were after encountering Austin.

When Natalie entered the study, Stephen looked visibly relieved at her return.

"You should stay quiet at home for the next few days and avoid going to the studio," he said.

"Okay." Natalie obediently nodded.

Clearly, Stephen had the final say in everything right now.

She handed the file to Stephen.

Stephen frowned.

"Is this from Lord Austin?" Natalie fell silent.

It looked like Stephen was already aware of this! Natalie recalled Heather mentioned that Stephen had taken a call before this.

It must have been Austin, right? Natalie nodded in response to Stephen's question.

Stephen's eyes flashed with silent sharpness as he opened the file and skimmed through its contents.

Though the file wasn't thick, Stephen's face darkened as he went through the pages.

When he reached the final page...

Slam! Stephen slammed the file onto the desk, and the air around him was so intense that Natalie could clearly feel it.

Regardless of what had happened before, Stephen had always suppressed his emotions around Heather and Natalie.

But now...! On her way home, Natalie hadn't opened the file to see its contents because she still recalled how terrifying Austin had been.

Now, witnessing Stephen's reaction, she knew it couldn't be anything good.

She moved to pick up the file to see for herself, but the next moment, Stephen's hand landed on it.
