Chapter 752“Yup,” Cooper replied over the phone.
Nathalia and Genevieve had such different personalities that even if Cooper tried to lie, those who had
interacted with Genevieve before would see through him.
Moreover, since he also needed Yuvan to look after Nathalia, he decided to be honest.
That one word of acknowledgment was enough to send Yuvan—a man who could shut himself in his
studio for two whole months while still maintaining his peace—into a state of unease, and he stared at
Nathalia in disbelief.
He thought back to when he had bumped into her at the bar that night. I thought she just had a change
in character after getting a new haircut.
The man had never expected her to have dissociative identity disorder.
Meanwhile, despite Harry being a part of the Homptons—a family involved in politics for its past three
generations—he certainly didn't look like a typical government official's son.
This man had just reached adulthood earlier in January. Tall and slender, he had thin lips, black hair,
and seemingly inexhaustible energy. He looked handsome and adorable at the same time with that
smile of his and had an outgoing personality.
Like most men, Harry was adventurous and fun-loving, and he especially loved racing, skiing, and
surfing. During dinner, he sat next to Nathalia, talking to her in a way so affable that even his closest friends
had never been treated this way.
Evan glanced at them and leaned over to Yuvan. “See that? It sure is nice being rich.”
He knew that Harry had had his eyes on that sports car ever since his birthday, but the former just
didn't have the connections nor money to buy it for him.
“Did Cooper tell her to come?” Evan whispered again.
The elections were coming up in Xedells, and everyone knew who was going to win this time.
In truth, Evan didn't genuinely want to buy that sports car; the man simply thought it would make a
fitting gift for Harry and help strengthen his family's ties with the Homptons. Yet, he failed to get the car.
Yuvan shook his head. “It's not like Cooper makes any money from Xedells. There's no point in him
getting involved.”
He, too, had once suspected Nathalia's true motive of taking part in the race. It then came to his
realization that there was no need for Cooper to involve himself.
Evan felt Yuvan had a point, but he was still perplexed. “Then why is she being so nice to Harry? We
even let her win, but she ended up giving the car to him.”
Suddenly, the former had a bold idea. “Do you think... she's into Harry because of his puppy-like
personality?” Yuvan was speechless.
There's no way Genevieve would be into guys like Harry, but considering that she's now Nathalia,
along with all the things she's done for the past two days...
The more Yuvan pondered over Evan's words, the more he thought they made sense.
Evan gasped as he noticed Yuvan gazing at Nathalia inexplicably. “Did I just hit the nail on the head?”
The latter rubbed his temples in angst.
The group headed to Remark Bar after dinner.
At that moment, Yuvan received a call from the Zeigler residence's housekeeper. Herbert had coughed
blood again and required Yuvan to return home. Thus, before leaving, the young man dragged Evan to
a corner and asked him to keep an eye on Genevieve.
As soon as the rest of the group entered the large karaoke room, an attendant knocked on the door
and let several people in.
One of them was a tall man whose features looked vague under the dim light. Upon entering the room,
he walked toward Harry and called out to him.
His voice cut across the lively atmosphere, sounding especially grounded.
Harry was in the midst of telling Nathalia about his ski trip in Horbah when he looked up and spotted
the tall man. “Jerry! Come sit down!” he exclaimed, his eyes lighting up. Instead of sitting next to Harry, the man took a seat on another couch.
“Let me introduce you to each other.” Harry pointed at Nathalia, who was seated next to him. “This is
Genevieve Rachford, a friend I just made.”
