Chapter 311

Song Jennifer suddenly held Easton’s hand, her voice pitiful. "Easton, now that she’s latched onto Mr. Chambers, she’s all high and mighty. Easton, she doesn’t want you anymore, and why are you still trying to bring her home!"

“Let’s let the past go, I don’t want this dinner anymore. Natalie is too mean, and promiscuous, and now she’s trying to twist things around and frame me, wanting to ruin my reputation."

Maurice furrowed his brow. If she doesn’t want her tongue, I can help her remove it, he wondered.

Natalie looked at Jennifer acting so sweetly innocent and couldn’t help but laugh. “Tsk, what great acting!”

Maurice couldn’t help but laugh. “Natalie, you’re being too subt…”

Natalie laughed and said. “In front of you, I must be subtle. I just got too upset a moment ago to speak so harshly."

Jennifer narrowed her eyes at the sarcastic Natalie.

Bitch, I’m definitely out to kill you, she wondered. How dare she plot and keep evidence against me. Just wait until I finish the film. I must kill you!

Meeting Jennifer’s venomous gaze, Natalie felt a chill run down her spine.

The darkness in Jennifer’s eyes was like a sharp knife, ready to stab when she least expected it.

Natalie gave a calculating smirk. “Tsk. Jennifer, I got your warning loud and clear. But don’t forget mine. I told you I’d hit back hard."

Natalie’s big, clear eyes held a cold, deadly intent.

Jennifer’s eyes flared with anger, her nostrils twitching in frustration.

Natalie, however, just kept smiling cheerfully, which made Jennifer even more furious. If it weren’t for maintaining her image, she would’ve already torn that pretty face of Natalie’s apart.

Natalie looked at her distorted expression and couldn’t help but say, “Look at your twisted face. No amount of makeup can cover up your dark heart.”

“Natalie, do you really have to humiliate me like this? You’re the one who took Easton away…” Jennifer began.

Natalie mocked. “Did I take him, or did you abandon him? You know that well yourself. Jennifer, you want everything. When he was down, you left him, and now that he’s on top, you’re back for the easy win."

“But Mr. Garcia is willing to tolerate your shamelessness, so we have nothing to say. If you cause trouble for me again, it won’t just be slaps. Think about your movies. If your reputation is too bad for them to be released, you’ll lose millions."

“You…” Jennifer choked on her words.

Natalie glanced at Easton, who wouldn’t let go of her, with a mocking smile. “Of course, whatever you do, there’s always someone willing to clean up your mess, like Easton who loves you more than anything.”

Easton looked at her intently. Natalie was dazzling, but her eyes showed no love for him, only hate.

She really hated him.

Easton furrowed his eyebrows as if his heart was being stabbed by a thousand arrows.

The corners of his mouth turned down slightly, a pain coming from deep inside. Is this what it feels like to have your heart torn apart? he wondered.

Easton suddenly let go of Natalie’s hand. She really does hate me, and deeply, he thought.

When Natalie loved him, he often left her to go find Jennifer.

The pain in her eyes was as deep as a knife cutting through his heart.

It’s I who broke her heart repeatedly, he wondered.

Natalie looked at her hand, now red from his grip, and frowned. Without glancing at Easton, she turned to Maurice with a smile. “Maurice, let’s go home for dinner."

Natalie packed up the food and left with Maurice.

Easton watched them leave, laughing and talking.

Their attitudes formed a sharp contrast.

Before, Easton used to laugh and chat with Jennifer, leaving Natalie feeling neglected, always looking at him with hopeful eyes.

But he always ignored her, and now Natalie was treating him the same way.

“So this is what it feels like to be ignored by someone you like," he wondered.

Easton touched his chest, feeling a sharp pain there.

Jennifer noticed Easton’s expression. Something was off. He was full of guilt.

Guilty about what? Guilty for the things he did to Natalie? Jennifer wondered.

Jennifer anxiously grabbed Easton’s arm, refusing to let him feel guilty. “Easton, don’t be upset. It’s Natalie who didn’t value you…”

Easton shook off her hand and quietly walked away.

“Easton!” Jennifer called out angrily, following him outside.

The wind and snow raged on. Easton stood among them, the cold wind biting his face, making his mind clearer.

Suddenly, he remembered Natalie’s words. “Easton, I’m not afraid of the cold. When I said I was, it was because I wanted you to pay more attention to me, but did you?"

It wasn’t that Natalie didn’t know how to be sweet. Easton just never noticed.

“Easton, let’s go back and finish dinner,” Jennifer said, holding onto his arm to stop him from leaving.

To create buzz and draw attention, every time Jennifer was with Easton, she arranged for photo sessions.

With Easton as the highlight, once the movie was released, it was sure to be a success.

Easton said indifferently. “Enjoy it on your own and eat enough. After all, the movie still needs you to give it your best. Be careful with your affair with the superstar, or it might get uncovered before the movie even comes out."

Jennifer was shocked and cried out. “Easton, what do you mean by that? Do you not believe me either?”

Easton’s cold gaze bore down on her, making Jennifer feel pressured. It seemed she was reminded of the brooding and cold young boy he used to be.

Easton spoke coldly, "Jennifer, if you don’t want people to find out, then don’t do it. Do you think everyone is blind?"

“You two are staying in the same room on the island and going to the restaurant together. Don’t you know how many nights you’ve been there? Do I need to count them for you?”

“What?” Jennifer’s eyes widened, “Are you spying on me?”

Easton let out a cold laugh, his face slightly twisted. “Do I need to investigate? People naturally tell me about your antics. You don’t keep yourself respectable, and yet you blame Natalie for framing you.”

Jennifer’s eyes suddenly widened.

It’s your loss for not sleeping with me. Am I not allowed to date attractive guys? she wondered.

Easton left, and when Jennifer looked up, she noticed he had disappeared into the snowstorm.

She let out a sarcastic laugh, crying and laughing at the same time. Jennifer couldn’t believe Easton saw right through her.

But he was still willing to have dinner with her.

Easton had always been her most loyal admirer. After all, during his toughest years, she was there with him. Easton still had feelings for her.

Natalie was right. Easton was tolerant. He didn’t question Jennifer’s past actions because he genuinely wanted to help her. I managed to surpass Natalie after all, Easton is always loyal to me, Jennifer wondered.

Jennifer took a deep breath, and once everything made sense, she felt relieved. With Easton gone, she called Oliver over, and they had dinner together.

Natalie was planning a long trip. Once she’s back, I will definitely kill her, Jennifer wondered.

Early the next morning, Natalie drove to the island.

Her hand was injured, so she drove slowly and didn’t reach the island until midday.

The island was even colder than Shagrity. Being by the sea, the wind and snow were even harsher.

She parked her car under Zoe’s apartment, opened her thermos, took her anti-inflammatory medicine, and got out to find Zoe.
