Chapter 113
Easton apologized, unbelievable! Itโs like the sun rising in the west, but she didnโt need it. โDonโt bother, you wouldnโt have helped me anyway. Go comfort your precious one.โ Natalie gave Jennifer a cold smirk, thinking, โWhat a disgusting woman!โ Jennifer shot her a venomous glare. Natalie had become more savvy and beautiful, outsmarting her tricks. She needed a new plan. Since waking up at her birthday party, Natalie seemed like a completely different person. Not only had she become more beautiful, but her stunning looks made oneโs heart skip a beat. Her bright eyes glimmered with intelligence and vitality. A woman like that could captivate any man. Natalie walked in with Luna, and at that moment, a worried voice called from behind them. โNatalie.โ
Natalie turned to look at Maurice, smiling sweetly, โHi, Maurice.โ Maurice was dressed in a black suit. His demeanor was reserved, his facial features sharp and stern, and his intense gaze was incredibly captivating. Maurice asked worriedly, โNatalie, I came as soon as I saw the livestream. Are you okay? Did you get hurt?โ Natalie replied, โIโm fine, just a couple of jerks trying to set me up. Stuff like that canโt hurt me. Sheโll just get a dose of her own medicine.โ From the day Natalie declared war, she wasnโt going to let Jennifer get away easily. Jennifer narrowed her eyes, curious about what Natalie had planned to strike back. Natalie looked at Jennifer too, with a meaningful smile. She had already gotten Murray on her side earlier. Now, with Zach in trouble, Jennifer would be searching for a new loyal follower. Natalie knew that boy was a young genius. This time, she wouldnโt let Jennifer beat her to it. She planned to find that boy before Jennifer did and recruit him as an ally. Their eyes met, Jenniferโs filled with malice while Natalieโs smile was calm and assured. Maurice glanced at Easton and Jennifer, then turned to Natalie and said, โNatalie, I brought you some delicious food. Your brother said you donโt eat much for breakfast. Our chef makes a good breakfast. How about we try some together? โAlso, itโs been dangerous for you lately. Iโll drive you to and from work; weโre heading the same way anyway.โ Natalie nodded happily. Food always lifts the spirit, and Mauriceโs offer was really thoughtful. She said, โThanks! Letโs eat in my office.โ Maurice smiled gently, โSure!โ The three of them took the elevator up. Easton had a cold look, seeing how happily she smiled at Maurice. He turned and went back to the office building across the street. Jennifer was going to follow, but Easton stopped her. โGet lost. Donโt ever come to my office again.โ Eastonโs expression was cold. Jenniferโs eyes widened in shock as he actually told her to get lost. Fear gripped her heart; this was the look he used to give Natalie. Now he was looking at her with those same eyes. She forced a smile, โEaston, do you not love me anymore? It wasnโt me! Why donโt you believe me?โ โThis is all Natalieโs doing! Why donโt you believe me? You loved me so much before.โ Jennifer ran away crying. Xavier frowned and thought, โSuch a manipulative drama queen! If he came across a woman like her, he figured heโd be manipulated so thoroughly that not even his bones would be left.โ
Easton returned to the office, but his mind was on Maurice and Natalie having snacks together in the office. It seemed like the two of them had really hit it off. Easton punched his desk and regretted that he didnโt help Natalie earlier. Vier watched from the side with his head lowered: Easton was terrifying when he was angry. After a long pause, Easton finally spoke, โXavier, tell me, how can I make sure Natalie doesnโt divorce me?โ Xavier was confused, โMr. Garcia, I donโt understand you. Werenโt you always the one wanting the divorce! โMs. Shawn has already torn up the divorce papers more than a dozen times, and now that sheโs ready for it, why arenโt you?โ To be honest, he didnโt quite understand Eastonโs unpredictable actions. Natalie was rightโjerks and their companions should just be chained together. Eastonโs sharp gaze was directed at him, โI asked you to think of a solution, not to criticize me. โBefore Natalie appeared, I thought I would marry Jennifer. We grew up together, and she once saved me. But after my accident, she left, and I ended up marrying Natalie. The reason why I wanted a divorce before was that Natalie kept creating drama all the time after Jenniferโs back. โYou know, the company had just recently come into my hands, and dealing with both company and home issues was really stressful. I got so frustrated that I handed her the divorce papers. But things arenโt as simple as we thought. โJust like you saw in the video, that man wasnโt me. But he and Jennifer did a lot of intimate things, and Jennifer even took pride in it, sending the video to Natalie. The man Jennifer likes isnโt me, but the guy she slept with.โ โOh my gosh, Mr. Garcia, you finally had a smart moment,โ Xavier couldnโt hold it in and blurted out what was on his mind. Easton suddenly glanced at him, a dangerous glint in his eyes as he rasped, โWhat do you mean by that?โ Xavier chuckled, โMr. Garcia, do you want the truth? Will you even believe it if I tell you!โ Eastonโs dark eyes flickered with barely concealed anger, his voice cold, โSpeak. I wonโt get angry.โ Xavier spoke earnestly, โMr. Garcia, I think you and the Simpson family are fools. I donโt mean foolish, just obviously biased. Jennifer is the cherished little princess, while Natalie is like a beggar on the street. Itโs really that extreme. โEvery time Jennifer cries, you all rush to blame Natalie without knowing the whole story. Thatโs really terrible. Your actions not only affect her emotionally but also cause her serious psychological harm. โHonestly, itโs through you that Iโve seen what real malice looks like. โMr. Garcia, I think you should just get a divorce quickly and cleanly. Ms. Shawn left because she knows what
