Chapter 326

Wendy interrupted, "Nick, if I don’t pay by this date and your four loser sons can’t repay it, you’ll have no choice but to go to…"

“She has a lot of art in here, and we all love her. Do you really want her wealth to be seized to pay off time hand?”

“I’m doing this to protect Jennifer, aren’t I? Are you pretending that your love for her is gross! Don’t you want to protect her, Wendy?”

Nick was momentarily cured and was equally shocked. "Wendy, at this point, still wants to protect me," he sneered inwardly, "spat away for her to..."

But Jennifer had no choice but to swallow the bitterness. She was the daughter of a mistress, and this was one where the truth could never be exposed.

Nick’s face turned crimson with rage. Wendy’s words had a ring of truth. His four sons were useless, and if the debts couldn’t be repaid, those people would come to Jennifer.

If the affair was uncovered, Nick would be ruined. “Wendy, you’re nothing but trouble. I’m getting older, and I still have to deal with all your mew…”

Wendy interrupted, "Nick, we’re divorced now. My company has collapsed, and you turned on me, divorcing me without a second thought. All these years, I’ve been blind to who you really are."

“I’ve raised the Simpson family and those ungrateful bastards for over twenty years. Not once have you said thank you, not a word of gratitude. Now that I’m bankrupt, you immediately abandon me, and you want to blame me?"

"Nick, isn’t it possible that God is watching all this? Maybe you’ve committed some terrible sin, which is why you’re suffering at the age when you should be enjoying life?"

"They also heard about your company’s tax evasion. You better keep that secret well. If one of your people sells you out, that back tax bill will wipe out everything you own.”

“You…” Nick was in shock, his rage almost overwhelming him. “Wendy, how do you know about this?”

Wendy sneered. “Hmph. Nick, if you don’t want people to know, don’t do it in the first place. I’ve been watching everything you’ve done.

“I warned you about your tax evasion. No matter what you want to do, you must never break the law. You brought this upon yourself."

“Nick, you better think carefully. Jennifer has a lot of assets in her name these years. You better suck up to her. She’s not your biological daughter, and she’s not as easy to deal with as I am.

“You can try sweet-talking her and fooling her for some money, but I hope Jennifer really loves you.”

After finishing her words with a smile, Wendy hung up the phone.

She was in a good mood today, looking at her two good friends in the private room, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

“I wouldn’t have made it to this point without your help,” Wendy said, grateful for their unwavering support and for those who had trusted her and lent her money.

The money was real, and the debts were real, but the act needed to be complete so Jennifer wouldn’t become suspicious.

Maria smiled and reminded her, “Wendy, although we’ve succeeded, we need to calibrate and coordinate all this.”

Nora added, “Mr. Garcia, next, we need to lay low for a while, exposing their dirty secrets one by one.

“We need to reveal the identity of the mistress, so everyone knows just how heartless and immoral Nick is. Only then can we give you the justice you deserve.”

Wendy raised an eyebrow and smiled with confidence and elegance. “I’m going to force Nick to…”

María agreed. “Wendy, we’ve all been working so hard. Let’s sit down, relax, and enjoy a meal to celebrate since we’ve had a chance to unwind like today.”

The three women had been through a lot during this time.

Wendy walked over, sat down, and then said, “I just want you all to relax. As for the company’s matters, we’ll handle them behind the scenes. We cannot let Jennifer catch on to anything."

Maria spoke with confidence. “Don’t worry, everything is arranged for the next steps. Jennifer will be so ugly, she’ll want to end it all.”

Wendy took a deep breath, thinking of Natalie, her eyes filled with sympathy.

‘I am truly blinded by foolishness. How could I even think about severing ties with her own daughter to pamper a mistress's child with no blood relation to me?’ she wondered.

It was because of her stupidity that Nick had manipulated her so easily.

As the dishes were served, Nora reminded Wendy to eat quickly and not dwell on things. People had to look ahead.

At the courthouse, Nick looked defeated. His body swayed as if he had aged ten years in an instant. My life is over like this. No, there must be another way, he wondered.

His life seemed over, but no, there must be another way.

“Dad, you and Wendy are already divorced. You need to marry Mom now and give her a proper status. I don’t want to be an illegitimate child, and I don’t want to be the daughter of a mistress.

"I am the daughter of the Simpson family, and it must be clear and aboveboard. Only then can I marry Easton with peace of mind.”

Nick, hearing this, felt helpless. “Jennifer, Wendy and I are already divorced, so that means…”

Jennifer’s eyes gleamed with a strange light. “Dad, leave the rest to me. You’re not in good health, so rest well. Also, send Grandma and Grandpa back to the countryside. I don’t want them here."

“You know Grandma’s overbearing nature. I don’t want Mom to be bullied by her. She tormented Wendy for years, and Wendy still gave her 30 thousand dollars a month as pocket money.

“But my mom doesn’t have that kind of money. Even though they’re relatives, when it comes to interests, there’s bound to be conflict,” Jennifer explained.

Sasha and John were no longer of use; they should go back to where they belonged.

Nick was stunned, suddenly recalling what Wendy had said: that Jennifer wasn’t as easy to deal with as she seemed.

A sharp pain struck his chest. “Jennifer, are you really going to toss your grandparents aside now that you’ve gotten what you want?”

Chapter 326

Jennifer looked at him with a cold smile. “Dad, don’t you know that all the relatives of the Simpson family are nothing but parasites? You have so much money. Do you want your relatives to suck it all dry?

“My hard-earned money, why should I keep them? They can earn their own. From now on, it’s just the four of us, living our own lives.

“We can’t take care of everyone. If you want to help them, you can move out and live with them.”

Nick hesitated, unwilling to leave. He knew they would soon have nothing.

Nick was stunned for a moment, suddenly realizing the mistake he’d made. He shouldn’t have believed Jennifer and abandoned the entire Thompson family.

Their foundation was rich, after all. Wendy’s father had a lot of connections. Perhaps, one day, they could turn things around.

“Jennifer, you… you… after using me, are you planning to get rid of me?” Nick, who had weathered many storms in his life, suddenly saw the true nature of his daughter. Jennifer had always been selfish and scheming, using every trick to frame Natalie.

Jennifer smiled, her expression dark and cold. “Dad, how could you think that?”
