NovelXXXChapter 708 "I can make all your wishes ctrue." Nathalie crumpled the note from the mysterious prisoner, her fingers trembling uncontrollably. This stranger, someone she had never even met, was incredibly bold. All she had ever wanted was to bring Nathan back. But could he really do it? "Ashley?" Officer Ashburn's voice pulled her back to reality after calling her na few times. Nathalie masked her shock and excitement well, responding calmly, "Officer Ashburn, I agree to meet him." Sensitive by nature, Nathalie knew that Officer Ashburn wouldn't have gone through the trouble of delivering messages so many times without expecting something in return. "What do you need from me?" Officer Ashburn was visibly thrilled. "Ashley, No. 13 has created samazing inventions. If he could donate them, they would undoubtedly advance technology. But No. 13 is a recluse and doesn't care about fame, always refusing to share his work." Nathalie furrowed her brow slightly. "Isn't that asking a bit much?" Officer Ashburn replied, "We understand it's his livelihood. But we won't treat him unfairly. If he's willing to share his work, we'll apply for a sentence reduction based on his contributions." Nathalie's eyes widened in surprise. "He doesn't want a sentence reduction?" "Yes. He has family, but seems to have little affection for them." Nathalie couldn't help but find No. 13 quite peculiar. "I'll do my best," she said.

Nathalie spent two weeks in the hospital. Her condition wasn't too serious; a mild concussion could be treated at home, and the scrapes on her arm and thigh had already e scabbed over. The hospital gave her the all-clear to go home.
Lincoln brought Nathalie home. To prevent her from hurting herself during depressive episodes, Lincoln had all the knives and sharp objects in the house locked away. Even the balconies on the second floor and above were fitted with security bars. Seeing all this, Nathalie sighed softly. She felt like she was still a burden to her father.
After Lincoln had watched over her constantly for a week, Nathalie decided it was tfor an open talk with him. "Dad, you're withevery day. What about the company?" "Nothing is more important than my daughter." "Dad, right now is the critical moment in our bet against the main branch. If you don't get out there and rally support, our branch's influence will weaken. If we lose the bet, how will you support me?"
Lincoln was taken aback. "That's true." He could live frugally, but he couldn't let his daughten live like that. Nathalie reassured him, "Dad, with Lizzy watching over me, you can focus on work. I promise I won't harm myself." Reluctantly, Lincoln left home.

At Stewart Enterprises, Lincoln returned to the office and ran into Dean. Dean teased him, "Big brother, I heard about Nathalie's heartbreak and he attempt to end it all. Why aren't you at hwith her? She needs you now. As for Stewart Enterprises, I can handle it." Lincoln couldn't miss the subtext. "You're so confident? Then I'd like to know, halfway through the bet, how much progress has your branch made on the KPIs?"
Dean boasted, "The bet lasts three months, and we're only halfway m through. Our branch has already negotiated several tentative contracts, just waiting for the right tto sign." "Tentative contracts? Hmph, is that really worth bragging about?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
