Chapter 1040

Maxwell was slightly taken aback. *Life isn't easy for anyone.*

No one had ever said anything like that to him before.

They had money, but their lives weren't actually that happy.

His father cheated, and his mother had her own affairs. Growing up in a family like

that, his parents felt guilty and gave him a lot of money to compensate.

Was he happy?

No, he wasn't.

Unable to find his own happiness, he had turned into a spoiled heir.

He found pleasure in bullying the weak.

And now, someone was telling him that life isn't easy for anyone.

He didn't understand. He asked quickly, "Natalie, why would you say that? You live in this luxurious mansion, you own all the assets of the Griffith Group. Your life is easier than any ordinary person's. Why would you say something like that?"

Natalie let out an exasperated laugh. "Maxwell, I'm rich and capable, but isn't my life painful, too? All of you are after my life. Is that simple truth something I really need to explain to you?"

"Besides, Maxwell, right now you have the Spencer family's connections and resources. If you were sent to a strange place, completely cut off from them, would you be scared?"

"Business people know that connections are one path and capital is another. Can you maintain a balance between the two?"

"I..."

"You can't! Without the prestige of the Spencer family, without your parents, Maxwell, all you'd have left is your savings account."

Her mindset was that of someone who lacked a sense of security.

Whenever she had free time, she would research various ways to make money.

No matter what happened in the future, money was her only fallback.

As long as there was a way to survive, she could start a new life anywhere.

Maxwell couldn't help but smile. "Even if all I had left was my savings, I think I'd get by just fine."

"By the way, Natalie, what area will Joanna focus on next?"

He had effortlessly switched the dynamic between them.

He wanted to be friends with Natalie, just like Marshall.

Ever since Marshall became friends with Natalie, his career had been thriving.

He envied Marshall for dodging Joanna's scheme.

Now, he had dodged Joanna's trap as well.

Sometimes, when a person is too stupid, they can be sold out without even knowing

it.

No matter which direction Joanna,

went, he was going to deal her a

fatal blow in the business world.

This time, he, Maxwell, would get his revenge honorably.

Natalie thought for a moment. At this point, many things from her past life had already changed.

If she wasn't mistaken, Joanna would definitely try to sabotage the two projects she had discussed in the office that day.

Joanna's methods were always endless.

But for now, Joanna would most likely choose the entertainment industry.

After all, she knew that with her current controversial fame, she could definitely

make a lot of money.

Natalie wasn't entirely sure.

"Perhaps the entertainment industry.

with

She just signed a contra won't

Simon not long ago, so she won't give up on that path."

"With her current strength, resources, and connections, she could climb very high."

Maxwell clenched his hands into tight fists, the muscles in his arms firm and

powerful. The murderous intent in his eyes was obvious.

"No wonder she wanted to swallow

Mr. Wilson's company. His company is a giant in the entertainment industry. With her pulling this, thei Wilson family collapsed, and she can have a meteoric rise."

But it wouldn't be that easy.

"No, I won't let her succeed."

Maxwell looked at Natalie. "Natalie, just wait for my good news."

Maxwell turned and left.

Natalie called out to his retreating back, "Maxwell, take your weapon with you."
