Chapter 122

Natalie smiled reassuringly, “It’s nothing serious. This time, since Jennifer attempted suicide, her family will blame everything on me. Especially Jennifer, she’ll definitely look for an opportunity to retaliate against me. Mr. Wayne’s birthday party is in a few days. If she’s going to take action, it’ll be that night. Her favorite thing is making me look bad in public while she pretends to be the victim. So, I need you to follow her closely. I don’t trust anyone else to do it. I’ll deal with those ten models.”

Luna understood and said, “Alright, Ms. Shawn. I’ll keep a close watch on her.”

Natalie hung up the phone and looked at the relationship diagram in her notebook, feeling the road ahead was getting more difficult. But she wasn’t scared. This time around, she would seize the connections Jennifer gained through underhanded means in the past and turn them to her advantage.

After sorting everything out, she happily went to rest. Lying on the soft, spacious bed, she picked up her phone and sent a message in the group chat: [Good night, James and Grandpa.]

James immediately responded: [Good night, Natalie.]

Natalie saw James’s reply, then closed her eyes and went to sleep. When she slept, she usually left a nightlight on. Her peaceful, sleeping face looked beautiful under the light.

While Natalie slept soundly, Jennifer was really worried. Ever since Natalie woke up at her birthday party, everything went against her plans. It made her angry. Ever since she got back from the hospital, she’d been in her room arranging work and looking for the person she wanted to find. Colin’s birthday party was coming up soon. Her people were already making moves on that end, and without the Spencer family’s support, she definitely couldn’t lose the Wayne family’s backing.

This time, Jennifer was determined to succeed. If she couldn’t use Murray, she’d have to get rid of him. She definitely couldn’t let him become her opponent. She called her trusted subordinate.

“Hello, Ms. Simpson.”

“Lucy, keep a close watch on Mr. Wayne’s movements. No matter where he is, I must meet him before the party,” Jennifer looked out at the pitch-black night sky. Her eyes were calm and cold, entirely different from her usual gentle and fragile demeanor. At this moment, her cold gaze was even more unreadable.

“Alright, Ms. Simpson. I’ll track down Mr. Wayne’s location as soon as possible.”

Jennifer replied, “Yeah. Also, I’ve arranged everything on Murray’s side. You need to quietly stir things up.” She hung up the phone, a malicious smile appearing on her face. “Natalie, you’ll never beat me in this lifetime. So what if you’re a designer? You’re just a minor designer. I’ll crush you completely.”

Jennifer tossed her phone aside. Looking at her injured wrist, she thought of Easton’s coldness. She couldn’t understand where it all went wrong. Easton didn’t trust her anymore. Maybe it was because of the photos she sent to Natalie, but she had retracted most of them. Maybe Natalie had taken screenshots.

Jennifer stood up, feeling frustrated. She needed Easton’s help and his trust to get his company’s secrets. She pressed her lips together, her beautiful eyes as cold as a dark night. She couldn’t figure out where it all went wrong. Easton admitted that Natalie was his wife. She found it unbearable. She wanted Natalie to be despised by everyone.

Suddenly, Jennifer heard the sound of a message notification from her phone. She turned around, picked up her phone from the pink blanket, and saw a video from Jasmine, immediately lifting her mood.

[Jennifer, I saw Natalie at the bar tonight, and she ordered ten male models.]

Jennifer replied: [Jasmine, I’ll handle this. I’m going to destroy her reputation.]

Jennifer found this video was truly a godsend.

Jasmine texted: [Alright, I’ve sent the video to you. Do what you need to do.]

Jennifer replied: [Thank you.]

Jennifer thought for a moment and decided to visit Easton first thing in the morning.

The morning light shone. Natalie slowly opened her eyes to embrace this beautiful day. The morning here was very quiet. However, just as she was savoring the calm morning light, the phone on her bedside table suddenly broke the silence. Natalie was at a loss for words. She sat up and picked up the phone to take the call, “Hello?”

It was Easton calling, “Natalie, didn’t you want to discuss the divorce? Come back now.”

Natalie quickly got out of bed and asked in surprise, “Easton, have you really made up your mind? Are you willing to divorce me? You’re not kidding, right?”

Easton was silent for a moment and then said, “Yeah,” With that, he hung up.

“Yay!” Natalie cheerfully went to get ready.

At Easton’s house, after the call ended, he sat indifferently on the sofa. In the kitchen, the chef was preparing breakfast. In half an hour, the dining table was set with all of Natalie’s favorite breakfast foods. Easton didn’t actually know what Natalie liked to eat, so he had the chef prepare the meals Natalie usually made, and that was when he realized all the dishes she cooked were his favorites.

“Breakfast is ready, Mr. Garcia,” the chef announced as he came out.

Easton waved him off. After the chef left, he guessed that Natalie would be arriving soon. His gaze held a hint of anticipation as he looked at the door.

A few minutes later, the code lock beeped. There was a faint trace of amusement in Easton’s eyes, but the moment he saw it was Jennifer who walked in, his face immediately darkened. “Jennifer, why do you know the password?”

Jennifer smiled gently, her voice soft, “Easton, you forgot. You bought this place as our wedding home, but then you married Natalie. The password was never changed. It’s my birthday.”

Easton was taken aback. He completely forgot that. His gaze turned cold and sharp. “I have things to do. You should leave.” Jennifer not only stayed but also walked further inside, looking heartbroken. This morning, she dressed up in the clothes Easton usually liked to see on her. She was good at acting, and with teary eyes, she asked Easton, “Easton, if Natalie hadn’t come back, the one you’d marry would be me.”

Easton’s voice carried a hint of sarcasm amidst his indifference. “Jennifer, it wouldn’t be you. You’ve taken someone else’s place for so long, always trying to push Natalie out. Even if Natalie wasn’t here, the person I’d end up marrying wouldn’t be you,” Because Jennifer never had her heart set on him. He might have indulged her, but he wasn’t a fool.

When he couldn’t stand on his own legs and he was blind, Jennifer left him. Now he achieved success, she came back to him.

Jennifer felt Easton’s mocking gaze, sharp as a blade, shredding her confidence into pieces. For years, she had managed to win over him, only to have her place in his heart completely destroyed by Natalie.

Jennifer stepped forward in disbelief, standing next to Easton with deep affection. “Easton, have you forgotten? We grew up together. I was there during your hardest times, and you promised to marry me. How can you deny it now? Are you in love with Natalie?” She spoke passionately as she deliberately sat on Easton’s lap, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.

At that moment, Natalie walked in.
