Chapter 306

“Ah!” Jennifer, overwhelmed with anger, smashed the fish tank.

Water and fish from the tank splashed everywhere, the stranded fish flopping desperately on the soaked floor.

Her shoes were filled with icy water, but in her rage, Jennifer didn’t care at all. “Natalie, Natalie, how dare you… I’m going to kill you. I’ll take the lives of your family members, one by one. Aren’t you yearning for family love? I’ll make sure you never get it. You want affection from your four brothers? I’ll take it all, leaving you without love forever. And you can forget about getting any affection from Easton,” she added.

Jennifer was exhausted, standing there, bent over, and catching her breath.

Anger and failure filled her chest. She had originally intended to outsmart Murray, but in the end, she was the one who got outwitted. Jennifer was usually very clever and able to manipulate everyone easily. This time, she had carefully planned a plot to bring Murray to ruin. Everything was supposed to be under her control.

But to her shock, Jennifer ended up being the one trapped. Her face was as pale as a sheet, her eyes filled with rage and disbelief.

Would this battle of cunning against cunning end in my most humiliating defeat? Jennifer wondered.

Jennifer was so furious she collapsed to the ground in anger.

The anger in her heart wouldn’t die down. Maybe because Natalie had seen her at her most vulnerable earlier, Jennifer felt utterly embarrassed and furious. Natalie knew Jennifer’s temper well and had come purposely to provoke her.

Outside, watching Jennifer’s outburst, Declan’s gaze was cold.

Out of sight from everyone else, Jennifer’s true malicious nature was laid bare.

If it were in the past, Declan would have felt sorry for Jennifer, gone inside to comfort her, and even spent all his allowance on expensive gifts to make her happy.

Thinking about how he used to act, Declan realized how incredibly foolish he had been. Their family’s sincere efforts meant nothing to Jennifer. Jennifer even felt like they owed her.

‘She’s really shameless,’ Declan wondered.

Declan left coldly and went downstairs to follow Natalie. But by the time Declan got downstairs, Natalie had already gotten in the car and left.

In the city, the snowflakes danced freely and resembled shredded cotton drifting down everywhere.

Declan’s heart grew colder with each inch of falling snow.

Natalie would never forgive them again, and she wouldn’t forgive Easton either.

From beginning to end, Natalie was the one who got hurt the most.

Now, Declan only wished for her to be happy.

‘Easton isn’t worthy of Natalie’s love. He is only suitable for someone as revolting as Jennifer,’ wondered Declan.

Meanwhile, Wendy had already received the 70 million dollars turned over by Jennifer.

Wendy and Maria looked at it with smiles in their eyes.

Maria looked at Wendy, who had a relaxed demeanor, and couldn’t help but smile. “Wendy, you’re amazing at keeping Jennifer on her toes. By the way, how are you going to handle the divorce now?”

“Honestly, at our age, love isn’t the most important thing. You need to know when to hold on and when to let go. Holding on to something that’s not yours will only hurt you more.”

Wendy’s eyes sparkled with a hint of a smile. “Relax, Maria, I’m definitely getting divorced. And I’m kicking Nick out of my villa.”

‘There’s no way he’s walking away with any of my assets,’ Wendy wondered.

This time, with the sale of the company, Nick’s business was going bankrupt.

Just then, Nora walked in with a smile. “Mrs. Simpson, they’re here again to discuss the company acquisition.”

Wendy gave a graceful smile, her eyes glinting “Nora, let’s not be difficult this time and make them the best coffee. We’re selling the company.”

Nora nodded with a smile. “Alright!”

As Wendy turned to leave, Maria said, “Let’s go and see how they plan to acquire the company.”

Wendy, however, knew that their willingness to acquire the company stemmed from the previous withdrawal of investments and the fact that some of the company’s partners had already been bought off by the other side.

‘But do you really think everything will go as planned?’ she thought to herself.

Wendy gave a mysterious smile, thinking that after today, it would be back to dealing with all the usual headaches and drama.

Natalie decided not to go to the office and headed straight home.

As she reached the gate, she saw Easton waiting there.

Easton stood tall in the snowstorm, like a lone tree braving the storm, proud and aloof.

Natalie found it amusing. Ever since Jennifer came back, Natalie would only see him two or three times a month. Now, Natalie ran into him two or three times a day.

Natalie pulled over and asked him, “Mr. Garcia, do you need something?”

Surprisingly, he had the patience to wait for her here.

In the past, it was always Natalie waiting for Easton.

This seemed to be the first time Easton had ever waited for her.

When Easton saw her come back, he brushed the snow off his coat and looked at her injured arm, saying, “You’re hurt. Why are you still driving?”

Natalie was surprised and thought, ‘Is Easton actually concerned about me?’

“It’s fine. It’s just an automatic. I can handle it. Driving myself around is more convenient,” Natalie said calmly.

Before, she yearned for even a little bit of his concern, but now she wanted nothing and didn’t need his care at all.

Easton frowned at her pale face, feeling a faint pain in his heart. “You agreed to the settlement, and Davian was released on bail. He’ll come after you again. What are you thinking, Natalie? You’re letting the danger back into your life.”

Understanding his meaning, Natalie replied brightly amidst the wind and snow, “Easton, I’ve been a housewife for two years. I’m not someone to take lightly.”

Jennifer wasn’t in hell yet, and Natalie was not going to let herself get into trouble easily.

Of course, revenge was just a part of Natalie’s life. What was most important was living her own life.

“Easton, until I see you in hell, I’m not going to die easily. I’ll make sure I watch you die first, or better yet, be killed by the woman you love most.” Natalie smiled coldly.

Easton’s pupils trembled. “Natalie, do you really hate me so much you’d rather see me dead?”

“That’s right. The suffering, the humiliation, and the insults you all piled on me… I remember them all. I’ll pay you back bit by bit. Now that those people from the Simpson family have met their end, you’re up next,” her tone was icy.

She continued, “So just get as far away from me as you can, and don’t bother me again. When you all were doing those disgusting things… sending me your naked photos to sicken me, Easton, you’re the most despicable man in the world. I’m saddened by the fact that I once loved you.”

“Natalie,” Easton shouted angrily, “I dare you to say that again.”

He gritted his teeth, and his furious voice was terrifying.

Natalie was startled by him, showing a hint of grievance. She couldn’t quite understand why she was emotionally breaking down. Is it because of his sudden concern or something else? she wondered.

She wasn’t sure. But when Easton expressed his concern, it seemed to spark her anger, causing her to speak rashly.

At this moment, Natalie felt truly wronged. ‘I don’t care that he doesn’t love me, but why did he have to humiliate me? Why treat me so poorly?’ she thought to herself in despair.
