Chapter 118

Hearing this, Jason’s face turned grim. Remembering what Wendy said in the living room, he smiled and said, “I ran into Mom in the living room, but something came up at the office, so she had to leave. She asked me to tell you to rest well and not to worry too much. There have been some problems in the company lately, and it’s tough for her to handle everything by herself.”

Jennifer frowned at Jason, fully aware of how much he cared for her and wouldn’t lie. She said, “Once I’m better, I’ll go help Mom.”

Since Lance Group withdrew their partnership, the company’s situation had only gotten worse.

“I wonder who the CEO of Lance Group is. Once I’m better, I’ll visit them personally to find out why they suddenly did that.”

Jason didn’t know about this matter. "Jennifer, you should just focus on getting better.”

Jennifer smiled, “Alright, Jason, it was my fault this time. I shouldn’t have hurt myself because of others.”

The cut she inflicted was pointless, as Easton no longer cared about her. It was all because of Natalie. If it weren’t for her, Jennifer wouldn’t have to endure all this.

She could only blame Nick for not taking care of things completely back then. If he had gotten rid of Natalie back then, she wouldn’t be in her way now. She couldn’t accept an ending like this.

Jason heard her words, gently touched her head, and looked at her with mixed feelings. Her pale face aroused a deep sense of compassion.

He thought the pain she must have felt when she attempted to end her own life was indescribable. He said, “Jennifer, it’s all Natalie’s fault. I’ll find a way to get revenge for you.”

Jennifer’s eyes darkened, and she softly said, “Jason, I’m fine. After all, she’s your sister. You two shouldn’t become enemies.”

“Hmph! What kind of sister would plan against her own brother? Natalie is innately malicious,” Jason said, his face flushed with anger.

He also wanted to be kind to Natalie, but her actions were so outrageous that he was left disheartened. She even competed with Jennifer for recognition in saving me.

Upon hearing this, a shrewd glimmer appeared in Jennifer’s eyes. Thankfully, half a year ago, she schemed against Jason, accusing Zoe and Natalie, which made Jason hate Natalie.

All of Jennifer’s four brothers had been manipulated by her and blamed Natalie, which was why her other three brothers didn’t want to stay at home. The main problem was that every time she plotted against Natalie, her four brothers were affected too. Gradually, they started to hate Natalie.

This time, Jennifer was planning to let Natalie take the fall. She wanted to use Natalie to kill Jason. Natalie didn’t understand racing, so Jennifer would have to find a way to get her to watch the race.

She suddenly remembered that Murray was also a racer, so he would definitely bring Natalie along to the event.

A wicked gleam flashed in Jennifer’s eyes. She planned to get rid of these illegitimate children one by one. She would become the true heiress of the Simpson family. She would wait for Easton to return and give him the best love in the world. “So what if she’s my sister? To me, you’re like a real sister,” Jason said gently as he ruffled Jennifer’s hair.

Jennifer was delighted, her eyebrows raised with a soft smile on her lips. “Thanks, Jason, you’re the best to me. I’ll get better soon so you won’t have to worry about me anymore. You should spend more time with Jasmine since she’s pregnant and needs companionship.”

Jason was thrilled about becoming a dad. “Okay. Once you’re out of the hospital, I’ll spend more time with Jasmine. Just thinking about becoming a dad in a few months makes me so happy." He really liked Jasmine because she lived life with an easygoing spirit, unlike Zoe, the girl next door who just focused on studying all day. She was such a bookworm, really dull.

In the afternoon, Natalie got off work at five and didn’t see Easton but ran into Maurice instead. She was quite surprised, as Maurice told her he would pick her up from work, and he kept his promise.

During breakfast, Maurice asked her to call him ‘Maurice,’ so she did without being formal. Maurice was several years her senior, but he wanted her to call him by his name. But Natalie found calling him straight by his name was still a little awkward.

Natalie said, “Mr. Chambers, you’re here.”

Maurice smiled elegantly and said, “Natalie, didn’t we agree I’d pick you up after work? Are you ready to go now?”

Natalie asked with a smile, “You don’t have any social events tonight?”

“No, but there’s a birthday party in a few days. Would you join me?” Natalie thought for a moment, realizing it would be Mr. Wayne’s birthday celebration soon. She was going too because she knew Mr. Wayne, and her Grandpa would take her along. So she asked, “Are you talking about Mr. Wayne’s birthday?”

Maurice chuckled. “That’s right.”

“Alright, let’s go together then,” Natalie had already prepared the gift.

“Great! I’ll come pick you up then." Maurice took her to the car.

Natalie told Luna to go home first. Then she went with Maurice to have dinner.

When Easton finished his work, it was already past six. He turned off the computer and looked at the time. That was when he remembered he was meeting Natalie to discuss the divorce.

He frowned, realizing he had lost track of time. He wondered if Natalie would be upset with him. Then he took out his phone to call her. She always blocked his calls, so he had several SIM cards ready.

“Hello?” A calm voice came from Natalie’s side.

“Natalie, I’m coming to get you now.”

Natalie laughed coldly, “Well, our ever-so-loving CEO isn’t hanging out with your first love? No need to pick me up. Why should I wait for you when you can’t even be on time?”

“Natalie, I was busy with work today and forgot. What’s the harm in waiting a little longer?"

Natalie’s eyes turned red with anger at Easton’s last sentence. “Easton, I’ve waited for you too long. I don’t want to wait anymore, and I definitely don’t want to look back.

“If you can forget such important things, then every time something comes up with Jennifer or work, you’ll forget about me. It would be too painful for me to live like that.

“I’m not going to wait for you anymore. Getting a divorce is simple and doesn’t really need a discussion. I’ll leave with nothing. All we need to do is go to the courthouse and get it done.”

“Natalie, I didn’t go see Jennifer. I was just too busy and lost track of time,” Easton explained to Natalie for the first time.

Natalie simply laughed coldly, “Easton, if someone truly cares about me, he’ll remember me no matter how busy he is. If he wants to take me home, no one can get in his way. And if he wants to see me, he’ll have time every day.

But you, you never considered me important, and now, I won’t keep you in my heart anymore. Let’s part ways peacefully.”

Natalie felt drained. She felt incredibly tired. Her relationship with Easton had brought her so much pain, and now she just wanted to focus on her career and becoming rich.

“Natalie, I bought you a cup of milk tea,” Maurice’s voice sounded. Easton angrily demanded, “Natalie, are you with Maurice?”

“Yep!” Natalie admitted openly.

“Natalie, we’re still married, and you’re dating someone else?” Easton’s voice was rough with anger.

Natalie sneered, “How is that any of your business? You cheated on me with Jennifer while we
