Chapter 79

Natalie mused on the mysterious ways of fate, encountering Jennifer nearly every day. “Jennifer, who I see has nothing to do with you. I’ve already left the Simpson family, and I’m not competing with you for anything. You’d better stay quiet and stop messing with me.”

She added, “Easton might protect you once or twice, but after eight or ten times, do you really think he’ll keep standing up for you? With your vicious words so clearly revealed in front of him, do you think he’ll still back you up?”

Last night, she just posted on Facebook that she went back to her ex-husband’s place, along with a picture of herself cooking in the kitchen.

Then, Jennifer rushed over immediately.

She knew that right now, Jennifer was most afraid of her going back to bother Easton.

Easton’s attitude towards her had already changed, giving her a sense of urgency.

When she saw what she had posted on Facebook, she immediately came over.

Because her Facebook posts were set to be visible to her only.

Taken aback for a moment, and assuming Natalie probably didn’t know what happened after she left last night, Jennifer boasted proudly, “Natalie, after you left last night, I stayed with Easton. He was so gentle. My body still aches from it.”

Natalie, being experienced, could understand what she meant.

Natalie’s heart suddenly ached. She thought she wouldn’t feel hurt hearing such words anymore.

But still, the pain arrived without warning.

She sneered. “Tsk, rushing to be the other woman and even bragging about it in public is something only you can do. Right, Jennifer?”

“Natalie, you…” Jennifer stomped her foot in frustration, unable to retort because Easton and Natalie hadn’t gotten a divorce. But she had already figured out a way to get them divorced.

Jasmine stood confidently in front of Natalie, intimidating in her presence. She smirked. “Natalie, true love makes you the other woman. You took everything that belonged to Jennifer.”

“It’s a good thing you signed that agreement cutting ties with your family. I wouldn’t want someone like you as my sister-in-law. It would be embarrassing if people knew about it,” Jasmine said.

Natalie was just a girl from an impoverished town.

However, her outfit today didn’t look like something a country girl would wear. She appeared even more elegant than a lady from a prestigious family.

Natalie thought, ‘Jasmine must be crazy. Where did she get the idea that I would want to be her sister-in-law?’

Whether she could even step into the Simpson family was still up in the air.

Natalie said, “Jasmine, who said I wanted to be your sister-in-law? You’re not even married into the Simpson family yet. Wait until you are before saying such things. Even if you do get married, I still wouldn’t want to be sister-in-law to someone like you.”

That fool, Jason, wasn’t just dim-witted. He was being manipulated by his own girlfriend and didn’t even realize it.

In the end, he would end up humiliated, raising another man’s child.

Of course, she wouldn’t tell Jason about any of this because he wouldn’t believe her anyway.

In her previous life, after she told them, they all humiliated her one by one. In this life, she wouldn’t care about their fates at all.

Jasmine replied, “Good, I was worried you’d become my sister-in-law and lower my status, especially since you’re a country girl who didn’t even finish high school.”

Jasmine wouldn’t let her become her sister-in-law.

Jennifer and Jasmine were close friends sharing the same contempt for Natalie.

“Also, I understand you’re upset about being kicked out, but this world has no shortage of sympathy, Natalie. You have absolutely nothing. It’s really pitiful,” Jasmine added.

“Pfft…” Carl chuckled. “Sis, where did this idiot come from? How can she think you have nothing? Just look at her shabby appearance. How dare she talk about you? She’s worth less than 30 thousand dollars, while you’re worth 300 thousand dollars.”

Carl, after finishing what he said, suddenly looked apologetic. “Sis, I shouldn’t compare someone like her to you, as it just lowers your class.”

Natalie shook her head with a smile. “It’s okay, some people just can’t resist showing off their sense of superiority.”

Jasmine was furious. Being ridiculed by such a handsome man made her both angry and embarrassed.

He seemed to dress extraordinarily well, suggesting he was quite wealthy.

“Does your family knit sweaters for a living? With the way you exaggerate, is she really worth 300 thousand dollars?” Jasmine asked.

“Natalie, how shameless can you be? How can you be such a pretender?” she said.

Natalie saw that it was almost time and didn’t want to waste words. “Jasmine, life’s full of ups and downs. Don’t be too arrogant.”

She turned to Carl. “Let’s go.”

After they left, Jennifer sent Easton the pictures she had just taken.

Jennifer: [Hey Easton, look at this. I ran into Natalie again. She was here eating with another guy. Seriously, Natalie would do anything for money. How shameless can she get?]

Easton, who was working in his office, got the pictures and message from Jennifer, and his face turned grim.

He knew the restaurant, so he shut down his computer and called Xavier to go there.

He had warned Natalie before–it was she who was testing his limits.

Jennifer knew Easton would definitely...

Sure enough, Easton didn’t let her down–he got to the restaurant in just twenty minutes.

Easton’s tall figure entered through the door as if bringing a storm with him. His whole demeanor was icy cold.

There wasn’t a hint of warmth on his handsome face.

Jennifer put on a concerned look and walked over. “Easton, you’re here. I was just so worried about Natalie that I had to tell you. I found out she is in room 302.”

Easton didn’t say a word, with his lips pressed into a tight line. He led Xavier upstairs.

Jennifer and Jasmine exchanged a smile as they followed up the stairs to enjoy the show.

In the private room, Maurice looked at the proposal Natalie had given him. After reading it, he found it intriguing. The offer included using their company’s streamer for streaming and even provided an additional percentage–clearly, it was a win-win strategy. Maurice agreed to sign the contract on the spot.

Maurice felt a bit of regret, giving Natalie an admiring look. “Natalie, if I had known earlier that you were a designer, I wouldn’t be sitting here today discussing a partnership with Mr. Walsh.”

Natalie chuckled. “I remember telling you about it when we first met.”

She wasn’t sure if he believed her, but she knew she had mentioned it.

Maurice gazed at her deeply. She was truly outstanding, with an innocent and glowing expression.

He said, “Sorry, I’ve been overwhelmed with work since returning home, so I kind of forgot about it.”

Carl gave a polite smile. “Mr. Chambers, you’d better not try to poach my staff. Natalie is our senior designer. With her on the team, there’s nothing to worry about in design–she has endless creativity.”

Natalie glanced at Carl, who praised her so highly.

She just loved hearing him talk like that.

Maurice flipped to the last page of the contract. “Relax, I’m not like Easton, who just goes to your company to poach people. He was really ruthless in trying to make Natalie leave.”

Easton, who was pushing the door open, heard this comment, and his expression instantly darkened. He just wanted Natalie to come home, but he never intended to force her out.

Maurice, that jerk, was talking bad about him behind his back.

With a brooding look on his handsome face, he suddenly pushed the door open and walked inside.
