Chapter 487

Annabelle's faith in her plan wavered. Was Natalie planning to pretend she knew nothing about Jeremy's affair? Did she not care that someone else was about to give birth to Jeremy's child? Or did Natalie believe her accusations were false?

It seemed she needed concrete evidence. She pulled out her second phone. She always carried two, secretly compiling evidence of Jeremy's affair, without his knowledge.

The phone contained pictures and videos of them in bed, secretly taken by Annabelle. Unfortunately, many were blurry; taken in fear of being discovered. Most were too dark. After searching her gallery, she found nothing suitable, so she chose a video instead. Even if Natalie tried to deny it, the video would shatter her composure, wouldn't it?

Annabelle doubted Natalie had ever seen Jeremy so enraged. "Don't let me down, Natalie," she thought. "I always believed we were different. If you stay with Jeremy after this video, it means you're obsessed with the privileges of being his wife."

After showering, Natalie felt calmer and more energized. Seeing Skylar waiting on the couch, she apologized. "I'm sorry, Skylar. Did I worry you?"

"I know you won't be easily defeated," Skylar reassured her. "No matter what, you'll face it head-on."

Natalie's eyes filled with tears. "Let's get a few hours of sleep and deal with this tomorrow morning," she suggested.

"Alright."

As they were about to sleep, an Instagram notification popped up. Natalie checked it. Her phone volume was up; not loud, but enough for them to hear the lustful voices in the video. She could only see Jeremy's back, but she knew him intimately.

Her phone slipped from her hand, clattering noisily to the ground. Natalie's face drained of color. Skylar's expression changed dramatically. "Nath!" she exclaimed, quickly retrieving the phone and turning off the video.

Annabelle must be insane! Taking pride in being a mistress? Showing such a thing to Natalie? How disgusting!

"I can't fool myself anymore," Natalie said, self-mockingly. Tears streamed down her face. "The man in the video is Jeremy." She'd known him for years, given him her virginity, and been married to him for a year. How could she not recognize him?

While showering, she'd tried to convince herself it was a prank, that the truth would emerge tomorrow when she confronted Annabelle. After all, she'd loved Jeremy for so long. But the video proved her wrong, a slap in the face that made her head spin. Nausea overwhelmed her.

Heaving, Natalie cried out, "How disgusting! Skylar, he's revolting! How could he be so vile?" She vomited.
