Natalie's eyes sparkled a little. She said, "No. She's very suspicious. She doesn't trust me much."
Before executing her plan to murder Dean, Natalie had called Holly many times and had sent her countless text messages. She had even wired a huge sum of money to Holly's bank account. Holly had given Natalie the number of that bank account before she had cut contact with her.
Maybe it was the money that had finally moved Holly, as Holly contacted her a few days after the money had been wired into the account. Holly had told Natalie to come up with a way to kill Dean.
The Holly's number on the phone Sebastian had found was a decoy.
No one had known what Holly's true number was, and that was why Dean had no way of verifying whether the number was truly Holly's. It was because of this that the plan had worked flawlessly.
Dean had still lost in the end despite all the constant scheming.
This gave Natalie a large boost of confidence.
"She said that if I could get part of the Jennings' family fortune, she would consider meeting me," Natalie said. "I don't have Tate Industries anymore. I don't have a decent job, so she thinks I'm not worth her time. She's a very realistic person. She's also very cautious. Even more so when compared to Dean. Dean is arrogant, but Holly isn't."
"After all, Holly doesn't have power or money," Mrs. Jennings said. "Does she know where Ivy is or not?"
"I'm going to say the same thing again. Be careful." Mrs. Jennings warned Natalie. "Money is important, but your life is even more important. For people like us without any support, getting rich is a risky business."
"I know. I will let you know once there is progress on my side," Natalie said and hung up the phone.

Sebastian had met up with his father's lawyer. They were in a tea room drinking tea.
