My Disabled CEO Stood up And Kissed Me novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220 Falling Into the Bathtub

Cookie was angry.

This matter carried great consequences.

Natalie rubbed her chin while pondering how to settle this matter.

How about her shutting down the server and crashing the forum?

That would take some time.

RC was the one who made the mistake, and she wouldn't let him off either.

Since he dared to mute and ban her account, she decided to play a move first.

She'd remotely ban his account.

Sure, this might not be a harmful attack.

However, the humiliation he'd suffer would be overwhelming!

Natalie squinted her eyes slightly, and her lips formed a cold smile.

How dare they mess with her?

She'd like to watch how the matter ends up.

She'd see who was the first to lose.

......

Kendrick shorted Industrial Liquor Company.

This incident caused quite a stir in the financial circle.

As the year-end approached, companies started auditing their finances, fearing they might become targets.

Previously, Industrial Liquor Company had been universally praised.

Yet, within a few days, it suffered substantial losses.

The investors were devastated. They were all ready to jump off the roof.

Natalie, too, was among the investors.

Technically, this shouldn't have happened!

Although there were differences between the actual finances and the records of Industrial Liquor Company, it shouldn't have led to the company's bankruptcy.

Someone must have manipulated financial leverage to control the market.

She was puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

Meanwhile, Kendrick was in a good mood.

While Brock hadn't exposed Cookie's true identity yet...

This incident dealt a heavy blow to Cookie. He didn't dare to come out and reply to posts.

Crushing Cookie was only a matter of time.

Kendrick hadn't encountered someone so audacious to snatch his things and remain so arrogant for a long time.

"Nat, get me a towel!" Kendrick shouted from the bathtub.

"Sure!" Natalie found a clean towel and, as she pushed open the bathroom door, was greeted by the steaming mist that clouded her eyes.

She handed him the towel and crouched down to help wipe the foam from his face.

Natalie was slightly frowning. Her expression didn't seem as cheerful but somewhat subdued.

She wasn't good at hiding her emotions. When she was happy, she would smile, and when she was unhappy, she would frown. Kendrick sensed her mood and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

It probably wasn't work-related.

She was doing well at Ramsey Biomedicine.

She swiftly replaced Bobby and then recruited the top biopharmaceutics expert, Brenna Quennell.

She was currently getting ready to start with hyaluronic acid to enhance her process and then aggressively capture market share.

"Who upset you, hmm?"

Saying that seemed unlikely.

After all, who dared to make her upset?

Anyone who did would probably be crushed by her instantly.

With Susan's strong support behind her, nobody dared to give her a hard time or show her attitude. She was sailing smoothly in life. She lived even better than him.

Well, he hadn't done anything wrong recently, either.

He had been training well, applying medication carefully, and hadn't injured himself again.

He even took his baths.

Natalie pouted with an aggravated look on her face. She carefully towelled off the droplets of water from his hair and said, "I... Aye, I recently bought a fund. I figured their share price would go up until the end of the year, so I bought a lot. Suddenly, someone shorted it."

This unexpected event caught her off guard.

She held dozens of long-term stable funds.

Liquor funds were typically for short-term quick sales.

However, just as she entered the market with this fund, someone shorted it.

It was miserable.

Kendrick stuttered for a moment.

Struggling to maintain his expression, he asked, "Which fund is it?"

"Industrial Liquor Company's."

Kendrick didn't know what to say.

For a moment...

He thought the water droplets above him had turned into ice chips.

Natalie pointed to her head and asked, "Do you think the guy who shorted the fund at this time has a bit of a problem here? Shouldn't he have waited until the fund had risen to its highest point and sold it all off before shorting it?"

Kendrick knew, of course.

Moreover, he used some force with his hands.

Natalie was caught off guard, and she slipped.

"Plunk."

Water splashed everywhere.

When Kendrick realised what happened, Natalie had fallen into the bathtub. She choked on a few mouthfuls of water.

"Ah... Help."

The bathtub was huge, and she couldn't find a support. Her hands groped around underwater. In the end, she barely managed to sit on his thigh while using it as support.

"Towel."

Soon, she was covered with a towel.

Kendrick helped her wipe the water droplets from her hair and face.

Her eyes were unable to open.

Natalie took the towel and wiped the corners of her eyes, saying, "My eyes... They feel so uncomfortable."

She looked extremely dishevelled.

Kendrick used one hand to hold her chin. His long fingers brushed away her eyelashes, and then a warm breath enveloped her.

Natalie blinked slowly.

"Don't move." Kendrick held her head and, again, blew warm air into her eyes.

Natalie huddled in the corner of the bathtub as he approached. She couldn't see anything but could only feel his warm breath falling on her cheeks.

Her face heated up even more.

Her hands were forced to prop against his chest.

"Feeling better?" A question asked accompanied by Kendrick's seductive voice.

Natalie slowly blinked her eyes open. Before her, magnified by the evaporating mist, was Kendrick's face. His face was also splattered with water droplets, and it trickled down through his wet hair.

His long fingers were still holding onto her face. He was looking slightly sideways with eyes filled with concern.

"Do you still feel uncomfortable?" Kendrick approached her a bit more. His warm breath covered her face once again.

Unconsciously, Natalie recoiled. She shook her head.

She admitted it.

For a moment, she was captivated by this man's looks.

However, the thought that he not only failed to help her expose the culprit but also pulled her into the bathtub, causing her to choke on water, quickly dispelled the attraction. Natalie reached out and patted him. "It's all your fault for making me fall in."

"I'm sorry. It was my fault." Kendrick apologised without hesitation.

"Now would be a good time for you to take a bath," he whispered. A low, soft laugh escaped his lips as his thin lips brushed her cheek.

The room was warm. Natalie was wearing a white shirt that was now soaked. Her curves were now exposed.

Meanwhile, Kendrick's hand had already reached the second button of her shirt.
