Seeing that Natalie was absentminded, Gerda nudged her with concern.

“Why don’t you take the rest of the day off and go back home? It’s big news now.Everyone’s been discussing it from the morning.I heard that people are complaining and reporting your misconduct to your superiors because they feel what you did was unfair to your adoptive parents.”

“I’m fine.In fact, I already anticipated this result.”

Natalie shook her head and smiled bitterly.She had thought that everything would come to an end once her adoptive parents gave her the money.

Regardless of what Lauren and George did, they took Natalie in and gave her a home after all.

But Lauren couldn’t just let go and let Natalie have the money.

The woman wanted to make trouble for Natalie.

Gerda knew every family had a skeleton in its closet.

But she didn’t expect such a reserved, calmi person like Natalie would encounter such unfortunate things.

“How about you explain it to Ms.Fisher? You should at least fight for it. You still have to build a good rapport with your colleagues in the future.A bad reputation would only ruin your career.Natalie smiled but didn’t say anything, for she knew that was precisely what Lauren wanted.She wanted to ruin Natalie’s reputation once and for all.But Natalie made up her mind not to let that happen.Although she was a little grateful to her adoptive parents for giving her a home, she couldn’t allow Lauren to slander her like that.

“Don’t worry about me.” Natalie patted Gerda’s shoulder.

“Thank you for rooting for me.”

“It’s no big deal.”

Gerda smiled and went on with her work.

Just as Natalie wracked her brains, thinking about how to explain herself to her superior, she received a message from Brandon.

“The company has been receiving complaints about you. What happened?”

Brandon cut to the chase.

Natalie swallowed as her face flushed with embarrassment.She was a little afraid of Brandon.

After all, he was the boss of the company; Natalie didn’t dare to neglect him.

She quickly briefed him about the conflict she had with her adoptive parents.She didn’t know whether he would believe her or not.
