Chapter 127

Emma said, “In the city center of Bernille, there’s a branch of Spencer Group. Recently, this branch has been having issues, which is why Murray went there. Natalie, I don’t trust any of the Spencer family except you. Please, help me.”

Natalie felt a pang of sadness. That’s just how it is with big families. It was really tough if there wasn’t someone you can truly trust.

Money talked, but some people were just two-faced. They took money from both sides, acted like the peacemaker, and then, in the end, nothing got done. This kind of thing happened all the time.

“Alright! I got it, Mrs. Spencer. I’ll head over there myself,” Natalie hung up the phone and messaged Luna. [Luna, did you get any videos from the guy I asked you to monitor Murray?]

Luna replied, [Natalie, I was just about to tell you. Something happened to Murray. I’ll send you a video.]

Soon Natalie received the video, and her eyes turned icy as she watched it. She immediately called Luna.

Luna said, “Natalie.”

“Luna, get someone else to watch over Jennifer. You’re coming with me to Bernille to rescue Murray.”

Luna answered, “Alright.”

Natalie hung up and started getting ready to go. Thinking of the appointment with Maurice, she called him to let him know she had an urgent business trip and promised to treat him to dinner once she was back.

Maurice, being thoughtful, asked if there was anything he could help with.

Natalie smiled and replied, [Thanks! If I need help, I won’t be shy to ask.] Natalie sent the message with a smile. Maurice seemed like an ideal boyfriend, always caring about her.

To succeed in life, she needed the help of supportive people. Maurice was destined to be Natalie’s supportive person in the future.

There was a flight to Bernille in two hours, and tickets were available. Natalie packed her things and went downstairs. Luna had already arranged for a car, which was waiting downstairs.

At the same time, Easton also received the news and went with Xavier to take care of it. The business in Bernille was extremely important to him. Since someone dared to cause trouble in his bar, he definitely wasn’t going to let it go.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, Natalie and Luna arrived in Bernille. They went directly to the police station and met Easton at the entrance.

Natalie met eyes with Easton, and his gaze was intense and penetrating. With just a glance, he understood Natalie’s reason for being here, which was to rescue Murray. His sharp brows furrowed slightly, and the commanding presence he had developed over the years was immediately felt.

Natalie instantly felt the pressure intensify.

Easton’s tall figure stepped forward, his voice low and captivating. “Here to save Murray?”

Natalie pressed her lips together and remained silent.

Easton’s gaze became even colder. “Tell me.”

Natalie nodded confidently. “Exactly. Murray got framed at your bar, and I suspect you and Jennifer are behind it. After all, you two have been holding a grudge since the last party. That’s why I’m here. Take it out on me if you want, but don’t hurt innocent people.”

Easton’s deep eyes quivered slightly. So that was what she thought. “Natalie, do you really think I’m that kind of person?” He looked at her with a deep, fiery gaze.

Seeing Easton get angry, Natalie instead smiled brightly, “Yes. You and the Simpson family have always been alike. Every single thing you’ve done in the past was despicable and shameless. Easton, hand on heart, think about it.

“You sided with them to frame me and you allowed Jennifer to harm me. How do you have the nerve to ask me this question today? You’ve never trusted me, and your actions have never given me a reason to trust you."

“The divorce papers are signed. Stop meddling with my business.” After saying this, Natalie walked inside. The aura around Easton was too overwhelming. She felt quite pressured.

Natalie went into the police station, waiting to meet Murray. Suddenly, she thought of a way to get a divorce. “Luna, as long as both parties sign the divorce agreement, it’s all set. I remember there’s no deadline.

“Since I’m the one leaving without any property disputes, once I get the divorce papers, I can go to court to file for divorce, right?”

Luna said, “Ms. Shawn, what are you thinking? Both parties must be present for a divorce.”

Natalie smirked slyly. “I’ve got a plan. As long as I get that agreement, I can appoint someone to stand in for him,” She felt pleased with herself, thinking, ‘Why didn’t I think of such a simple solution earlier?’

Luna was lost for words. She wondered who would dare to stand in for Easton to get a divorce.

Outside the door, Easton was speechless.

Xavier couldn’t help but giggle. He didn’t expect Natalie to think of stealing the agreement just to get a divorce. It seemed like she really didn’t want to stay with Easton anymore. He felt quite sorry for Easton.

“Luna, it’s settled then. Once we’re back, I’ll figure out how to get the divorce papers,” A smile crossed Natalie’s face, and she suddenly felt at ease.

Luna’s lips twitched. “Ms. Shawn, I heard Easton gave you countless divorce agreements before. Why didn’t you sign them back then?”

Recalling the past, a hint of pain crossed Natalie’s eyes as she sighed, “Well. I was just too kind. I thought, apart from Xavier, he didn’t have anyone who truly cared for him, so I wanted to spend time with him, thinking he’d one day see the true color of Jennifer and the rest of the Simpson family.

“But to him, Jennifer was perfect, and they grew up together. How could I ever compete with his childhood sweetheart? I simply overestimated myself. Last time, Jennifer actually kidnapped herself to frame me.

“She hit me twice and I was knocked out cold. When I went to practice afterwards, I couldn’t hear in one ear. It took about a month for it to fully recover. And even after seeing the truth, he still refused to believe me.

“Instead, he left me to be insulted by everyone for Jennifer’s sake. Luna, even when you love someone dearly, their indifference can extinguish your feelings. He abandoned me again and again for Jennifer. That last time, it completely ended my love for him.”

Luna looked at her with concern. “Ms. Shawn-”

“Alright, that’s enough. It’d be awkward if they overheard us,” Natalie interrupted with a smile. She knew exactly what Luna was about to say next.

Easton, who was about to step inside, paused when he overheard. So, that was why she hadn’t divorced him earlier. It was because she loved him. It wasn’t for his status or wealth.

She genuinely cared about him. He just stood there at the doorway, not going in.

Xavier didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. He felt lucky to have gained Natalie’s trust.

The two continued to stand at the door, not going in. They waited until they saw Natalie and Luna go to meet Murray before going in.

Xavier looked at Easton’s straight silhouette, Easton hadn’t planned on coming here at first. Now he finally understood why Easton came himself. Because Easton knew something had happened to Murray, and Natalie would surely be there to help him. And sure enough, Natalie showed up.

Murray was quite surprised to see that it was Natalie who came. He sat on the bench, relaxed, like a guest there. With a playful tone, he said, “Natalie, I didn’t expect it would be you.”
