Chapter 260

Natalie shook her head and said, "Wright, my brother has already told me I can’t race anymore. If I join your team, he will be even angrier. He’s still not speaking to me right now. There’s a championship next spring. To thank you for your help today, I can compete in the championship for you then?"

Natalie thought, "Mr. Wright seems easygoing. I can befriend him." George might look carefree, but behind the scenes, he was running a huge company. His abilities and connections should not be underestimated.

George laughed heartily, his eyes squinting slightly as he looked at Natalie’s bright and confident face, finding her incredibly fascinating.

He said, “Ms. Shawn, that’s wonderful. Let’s exchange contact information. I’ll have the contract and all the paperwork sent over right away. Someone will meet you at the notary’s office tomorrow, and once it’s notarized, the land will be yours. When you finish building the villa, be sure to invite me over to hang out.”

Natalie smiled and said, “Mr. Wright, I can’t take it for free. I know you spent 6.5 million dollars to buy the land. How about you sell it to me for 15 million dollars?”

That land was huge; it even included the hillside in the back. And there was the ocean right in front. Turning it into a vacation spot would be absolutely perfect.

When George heard Natalie’s offer, he wondered if the land was about to appreciate. But then, he realized it was at the foot of the mountain, he thought it was maybe just enough to build a village.

Since he already promised Natalie, there was no turning back. Plus, he would make an extra eighty thousand dollars and a competition. George found it a great deal.

He was a businessman, and in his world, not making money when one could was just foolish.

After figuring all these out, he said, “Deal, Ms. Shawn. But what about your brother… I mean, what about Declan?”

Declan suddenly looked at Natalie; he didn’t say anything this time.

Natalie laughed and said coldly, “Mr. Wright, I’m not involved with them anymore. His issues don’t concern me.” In short, they were unrelated.

Declan said, “Natalie, you… we are…”

Natalie turned and interrupted him, “Don’t say it because you’re not worthy! Declan, we’re going our separate ways.” Declan glared at Natalie, sulking in silence. In the past, Natalie would always find a way to make him happy whenever he got upset. He didn’t believe that Natalie would leave him alone.

Soon, George brought over the contract. The rest would wait until the next day’s notarization at the office.

Once the formalities were completed, Natalie was thrilled. She looked at George and said, “Thank you, Mr. Wright. I’m heading out now.”

“Alright! See you tomorrow!” George said as he waved goodbye to Natalie.

With the contract in hand, Natalie left.

Chapter 260

Declan stared in shock at Natalie. He shouted, “Natalie, are you not going to help me? I’m giving you one more chance to save me."

Natalie didn’t even glance at Declan and headed straight for the door.

Declan was stunned. He couldn’t believe the fact that Natalie cared for the land and not for him, and she left like that.

He angrily shouted, “Natalie, weren’t those just usual scoldings when you framed Jennifer? And now you’re holding a grudge? You cruel woman, you’ll never match up to Jennifer. To me, she’s the only real sister. Who do you think you are? Don’t you dare show me that attitude, Natalie, come back!"

But Natalie walked away without turning back.

Only then did Declan hang his head in defeat. He realized that Natalie had really changed; she was no longer easy to bully. George slapped Declan hard and said, “Loser, keep calling until someone comes to pay and we can let him go.”

With no other choice, Declan had to call Nick, asking him to come and bail him out.

Natalie was stopped by Easton.

Natalie was surprised to see him. She wondered why he was there.

Easton frowned and asked, “Aren’t you going to save Declan?”

Declan was excited to see Easton. He shouted, “Easton, did you come to rescue me? Did Jennifer ask you to come? She’s always been the kindest to me, unlike some backstabbers who are cold and ungrateful.”

Natalie turned around and smiled at Declan. She said, “I left a card to pay for what I have used in your family. While I was staying at your place, you all just bullied me and never actually gave me anything. And you dare to call me a backstabber."

Declan was at a loss for words.

While Natalie stayed in the house, she wore Jennifer’s hand-me-downs, though she seldom put them on.

Because Natalie came from an impoverished town and was considered an embarrassment to the Simpsons, everyone treated her badly. They believed she was malicious, always trying to frame Jennifer, so everyone in the Simpson family disliked her.

Natalie looked at Easton with a mocking expression. She said, “I am leaving. Feel free to save your childhood sweetheart’s brother.”

Easton gritted his teeth and said, “I’m not here to rescue him.”

Natalie was surprised. She asked, “If you don’t save Declan, aren’t you worried your childhood sweetheart will cry?”

Easton said, “Natalie, do you have to speak so sarcastically?”

Natalie laughed in exasperation. She replied, “Mr. Garcia, I’m just stating the facts. Besides, Declan called me here to be trampled by those men, saying that as long as I don’t get killed, I can be treated however they want. Easton, you’re practically in bed with the Simpson family. And you want me to make it sound nice? You’re dreaming!”

After that, Natalie walked around Easton, got into a red sports car parked by the road, and drove off.

Declan wouldn’t let Easton off the hook; he shouted excitedly, “Easton, help me, hurry!”

Easton heard the earlier conversation. The Simpson family was just bad; they were downright malicious. Before, he was stubborn and oblivious to the truth.

But thinking of the person behind Jennifer, he knew he couldn’t fully oppose the Simpson family yet, so he saved Declan.

After being saved, Declan said happily, “Easton, Jennifer called you, I…”

Before Declan could finish his words, Easton kicked him hard, sending him flying.

Everyone was stunned.

Declan was stunned by the hit. He looked at Easton and asked, “Easton, why did you hit me?”

Easton looked at Declan coldly, eyes red. He said, “Declan, I thought you were just a bit of a jerk with words, but I didn’t expect you to be an actual demon. You planned to hand over Natalie to these people for fun; as long as they don’t kill her, anything goes. You couldn’t even say that about a stranger, let alone a family member. Just wait. Once I settle this, I’m going to make you pay for what happened today.” After that, Easton walked away.

Declan was frightened by Easton’s ruthless demeanor. He cried in pain, “I… I was joking!”

George looked at Declan and said, “Declan, someone with your questionable character is not welcome in our circle. With Natalie under my protection, if you dare to bully her, you’re picking a fight with me.”

The group arrogantly got into their car and left, leaving Declan standing there like a deer in headlights. He shivered from the cold, pain coursing through his body. He sat down with furious hatred.

He thought, ‘It is all because of that troublemaker, Natalie, and I won’t let her go this time. By the way, where did she get 15 million dollars?‘
