Chapter 283

Natalie was eating fish when his words struck her as utterly absurd.

Easton never consulted her on what he wanted to do, so it was quite a shock when he asked her opinion on a villa he was planning to buy.

Natalie laughed, “My preferences don’t matter. What’s important is that you like it. I won’t be living there anyway; I’ll stay right here.”

“But if you keep intruding, I’ll move out from here too,” she added.

Easton’s brows furrowed again, his eyes flashing with intense anger. “I’ve said it before, we are husband and wife. If you want James to go bankrupt, feel free to move.”

Natalie was aghast. “Easton, are you threatening me?”

Easton took his time savoring a piece of fish, a deep-sea catch that Natalie had brought in, incredibly fresh and delicious. Only then did he look at Natalie. “You know my temperament. When my interests are at stake, I don’t hesitate to threaten you.”

She had her vulnerabilities, and he was ready to exploit them.

Natalie scoffed in anger. “You really have no shame. Have you forgotten what you’ve done to me? Easton, I’ve had enough of you, and my stance is clear."

“I will never be with you in this life. You can stay married if you want, and if you’re okay with Jennifer being the mistress, that’s your business. All I want is for both of you to vanish from my world, to get out of my life.”

Natalie slammed down her fork and stormed out of the kitchen. Easton was a real jerk for using her brother as leverage. Natalie grabbed her phone and bag from the sofa and headed out the door. She was on her way to the police station. Easton watched as Natalie stormed off, his deep eyes burning with intense anger. “Natalie, I won’t let go. You were the one who fell in love first, and you were the one who provoked me. It won’t end until I say it does.”

His eyes gleamed with a dark, bloodthirsty light, full of possessiveness.

Natalie drove to the police station right when they called her to come and handle the traffic accident.

As Natalie drove out of the gate, she saw Xavier waiting outside. Natalie was too angry at the moment to greet Xavier and just drove away.

Xavier thought to himself, ‘Easton has upset Natalie again. Serves him right for being single.’

Easton followed suit and came out shortly after.

Xavier quickly approached, smiling and asking, “Mr. Garcia, are we heading to the company now?”

Easton inquired, “Has Natalie left?”

Xavier nodded, “Just left.”

Easton opened the car door and got in, looking at Xavier and saying, “Go to the police station.” He knew Natalie would handle Davian’s matter.

On the other side.

Chapter 283

Declan, after hearing the conversation between his mother and Maria, spent the entire night digesting everything, and then started following Nick.

His mother hadn’t been home recently, and his father hadn’t come home last night either, instead going to a villa.

He didn’t come out the whole night, and Declan waited until dawn before he saw his father and a woman come out. His father was holding her hand, and their actions were very intimate. The two went to the nearby market to buy groceries.

After disguising himself, Declan followed them.

In the sparsely populated villa area, Camellia asked, “Honey, when are you going to divorce? Why hasn’t Wendy gone crazy, and instead, you’ve become the one acting strangely?”

Nick has been quite troubled lately, mainly because he couldn’t perform as a man.

But last night, he managed to, after taking some pills, and had several rounds with Camellia, but this was even more terrifying. He feared his condition would only worsen from here on out.

He said, “Camellia, we need to wait a bit longer. Wendy’s company is in trouble, saddled with hundreds of millions in debt. Jennifer is already in the process of acquiring her company. Once we take over her company, we can make a clean break."

Camellia was taken aback, looking at him in shock. “In debt? How is that possible? Isn’t Wendy good at managing businesses? How could she suddenly be in debt? She’s been acting crazy whenever she sees me lately. Could she have figured it out?”

Nick shook his head. “No, she suspected before, but we’ve reassured her. The Lance Group suddenly withdrew their investment, and business has been tough lately. Wendy’s company can’t hold on any longer.

“Then, she’ll sell the real estate her parents own at a low price, and our daughter can buy it at a low price. The Tompson family will be ours. Our daughter and son are the best.

“As for those four fools, some are dead, some are injured; they pose no threat to us anymore.”

Camellia sneered, “I’ve been waiting for over twenty years, and finally, the day has come.”

Nick said, “Camellia, you’ve suffered these years, but don’t worry, from now on, our lives will only get better.”

Camellia smiled triumphantly, “We even have Wendy to thank for this. Without her, we wouldn’t be living such a happy life. That foolish woman is still making money for us.”

Nick said, “That foolish woman loves me dearly. Whenever I throw a little tantrum, she thinks I’m wronged and buys me million-dollar watches the next day.

“All I have to do is say a few sweet words, and she’s completely moved.”

Camellia was very excited, clutching Nick’s arm tightly. “Honey, once you divorce her, we’ll get a new villa. The ones my friends live in are all bigger than mine.”

He replied, “Alright, alright, once we take all of Wendy’s wealth, I’ll buy you a four-story villa with a swimming pool and a movie theater, everything you want.

“Aren’t you dying to travel abroad? You’ve always envied your friends who go on foreign trips. Once our son’s company goes public, we’ll have the money, and I’ll take you wherever you want to go, for as long as you like.”

Camellia was so thrilled she could cry. “That’s great, Nick, I’ve finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. This time, you won’t let me down again.

“Wendy has monopolized you for so long; she’s been so unfair to me. She owes me her entire fortune.”

Chapter 283

"Don’t worry, it’s all yours. We grew up together since childhood. If it weren’t for my poor family background, I wouldn’t have let you suffer like this.” Nick held her close; he really owed Camelia so much.

Because of his poor family conditions, he had to pretend to be devoted to Wendy, leading their family on a wild ride.

His eyes filled with guilt. ‘Camelia, I’m sorry. I married another woman and made you live in the shadows for so many years, even bearing my children. Trust me, I will never betray you again.'

“Now that Jason and Alexander are out of the picture, it’s Declan’s turn. Declan and Rocky are pretty much trained. We’ll succeed soon. Jennifer is doing well now; we must act discreetly and not hold her back.”

Declan, who overheard this conversation from a distance, was furious, almost attacking Nick. Nick was a gold-digger who didn’t even have the decency to feel ashamed and was planning to kill their four brothers. He was a complete jerk.
