Chapter 161

Not far away, Murray saw the whole thing and couldn’t stop himself from bursting into laughter.

Murray thought, "Jennifer, this is just the beginning. From now on, I’m going to make your life a living hell, every single day, until you feel like your existence is pointless."

“Isn’t this Ms. Simpson? Why are you falling flat on your face?” Murray’s mocking words came from above her head. Jennifer was in pain. She slowly got up and saw the puddle on the floor. Her eyes turned cold. “You… Did you do this?”

Murray looked at her with a bemused smile, neither admitting nor denying anything. “Jennifer, you fell on your face, and now you’re pointing fingers at me? You love to pin the blame on others, don’t you? Even now, you’re trying to set me up.”

Though he was responsible, he chose to play dumb, just like she did.

Jennifer glared at his mischievous demeanor, feeling a surge of anger. She thought, ‘Could he possibly know about what happened overseas? Luckily, it was a success, and we managed to snatch the project away.’

“Mr. Spencer, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. I tripped over something on the ground. Only you would know if it was your doing.” Jennifer endured the physical pain, putting on a pitiful act.

She knew exactly what men’s weaknesses were. The weak always got the most sympathy.

Murray stood there, cool and nonchalant, his intense yet charming gaze fixed on her. “You’re so full of malice. It’s surprising you didn’t end up worse off from your fall.”

“You…” Jennifer glared at him. “Mr. Spencer, you’re the heir of the Spencer family. Why do you speak so rudely? What about the Spencer family’s manners?”

Murray sneered, “Do you think someone like you deserves manners? Jennifer, have you forgotten how you tried to manipulate my grandmother last time? From now on, get ready for some payback.”

Suddenly, he seemed to recall something and said, “Oh! I remember! The way you saved Mr. Wayne’s grandson this time is the same method you used to save my grandmother.

“I must say, it’s a nice move. You saved my grandmother and earned my respect. To express my gratitude, I wanted to work with you.

“Besides, Mr. Wayne is conceited and prideful. I’ve heard he spoils you and has agreed to make you the lead actress in a movie.

“With all the dirt on you, I wonder if your movie even stands a chance of being released.”

As long as Murray was around, he would never let her movie get released.

Jennifer sneered, “Mr. Spencer, don’t say things carelessly, and don’t act rashly either. Let’s see if you can actually wait for that day to come. Leave it up to fate."

Jennifer had a mysterious smile.

Murray picked up on the implication. Everything Natalie said was true.

He watched Jennifer walk away, pulled out a slingshot with a water bead inside, aimed at her head, and shot it.

With a bang, Jennifer let out a scream of pain.

Seeing this, Murray laughed heartily.

Jennifer turned to look at him, her eyes shining with intense hatred.

She thought, ‘Anyway, I’ll always manage to find chances to drag Murray down. With the project signed today and having schemed against his dad, I will just let him blow off some steam.’

Jennifer turned around just in time to see Easton walk in, and in an instant, her posture softened to a delicate, fragile facade.

Jennifer was wearing a white dress, which had picked up some dirt from her fall. Her frail look made her seem really flustered.

“Easton, I don’t know what I did to upset Mr. Spencer, but he hit me with a slingshot, and now my hair is soaking wet.” Jennifer looked at Murray, full of complaints.

Murray folded his arms, a cunning grin playing on his lips as he took in Easton’s inscrutable look. “What? Mr. Garcia, are you here to defend your lover?”

Easton frowned and asked Jennifer, “How did you end up provoking Mr. Spencer? From my understanding, as long as you don’t incite him, he won’t give you a hard time.”

Living in the same city, he was well aware of Murray’s character.

Easton’s eyes were icy, devoid of the warmth they once held.

Jennifer knew it was because of the issue with Emma last time, so she shifted the blame to Natalie. “Wasn’t it because of Natalie and what happened at Mrs. Spencer’s party last time…”

Murray said, “Oh, Jennifer, aside from scheming against Natalie, pinning the blame on her, and whining to Easton to get him to teach her a lesson, is there anything else you can do?

“What’s this got to do with Natalie? Don’t you realize that you brought this on yourself? Even if Easton comes to support you, do you think the Spencer family would be afraid of you?

“You’re a mistress, and your deadbeat dad’s no better. The Simpson family must be really forgiving to put up with you both. “Murray, you’re going too far.” Jennifer’s beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of malice.

Murray laughed boldly, “Too far? This is just the beginning. You wanted to create a buzz, so how about I help you by making ‘mistress‘ the trending topic?”

“You…” Jennifer was left speechless by the retort.

Murray looked at Easton with disdain, “Jerk, you want it all. Hurry up and divorce Natalie so I can pursue her.”

Easton frowned, a cold glint in his eyes.

Jennifer laughed angrily, “So Mr. Spencer is here to stick up for Natalie? Haven’t you heard the saying, ‘It’s the one who’s not loved that’s the real mistress‘?”

“Sure, but you’re the official side piece.” Murray raised an eyebrow with a mocking smile. His pleasant voice was slightly hoarse, laced with disdain.

Jennifer’s face turned livid with anger.

Murray nudged Easton. “Move, jerk. You’re in my way.”

Jennifer stomped her foot in frustration. “Easton, why didn’t you help me just now? Look how arrogant Mr. Spencer has become! What’s gotten into him because of Natalie? He’s actually giving me a hard time over her?”

Easton’s eyes were cold as he asked, “Do you really not know why he’s causing trouble for you? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about Mrs. Spencer’s matter? Why is it always Natalie’s fault when something happens?”

Jennifer was taken aback, wondering. ‘Is he defending Natalie?”

Her voice softened further. “Easton, I’m innocent. You heard Murray. He’s causing trouble for me for Natalie’s sake.”

She looked so wronged, almost in tears.

Easton strode straight in, his strikingly handsome features accentuated by a chiseled jaw and eyes that glittered with a frosty intensity.

Jennifer looked at his impatient back, a sneer escaping her lips, "Easton, your love for me is just like that.”

Men were indeed unreliable.

In the hospital, Jason sent someone to Everwell Hospital to gather information and learn that the surgery Natalie performed on the patient was successful.

He felt inexplicably excited. It turned out that Natalie’s medical skills were really impressive.

He had come to terms with the fact that it was Jennifer, Jasmine, and his biological father who were plotting against him.

He wouldn’t go abroad because once he was there, he wasn’t sure what might happen.

He later figured out that his dad sent him overseas just to make his life harder with the language barrier.

Jason’s eyes were filled with deep hatred. He was determined to get revenge.

Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open.
