Chapter 327

When Nick heard her words, he looked at her deeply. “Jennifer, I’m doing this for your biological brother. I don’t want to lose my four sons. Don’t disagree."

He truly didn’t want Jennifer to disappoint him; he didn’t want to make things difficult.

Wendy really loved him, and he couldn’t bear to let her go.

Jennifer looked at her father, smiled, and said, “Dad, don’t overthink it. You and Camellia can marry again and have a grand wedding. But there’s no rush. We can take in the young sons."

“You can go back and spend time with Mom now; I’ve got things to take care of.”

Nick felt a dull ache in his heart. It was as if he had lost something important.

After Wendy’s company went bankrupt, Nick had immediately filed for divorce, which exploded online.

People who knew Nick all came forward to criticize him.

[Nick was a nobody. Back then, he married Wendy because she was the only child of the Tompson family, a family adopted into wealth. Now that the Tompson family is ruined, he can’t get any benefits, so naturally, he wants a divorce.]

[I heard Wendy was schemed against, and the company was sold for a low price. The person who bought the big company hasn’t shown up yet. It seems like Nick colluded with outsiders to steal his wife’s fortune.]

[Nick is afraid of being seen as someone who only lived a good life because of his wife. Even though it’s true, he won’t admit it. Wendy really hit the jackpot in the worst possible way, marrying such a cold-hearted, shameless bastard.]

[I heard that Nick, in order to divorce, even abandoned his four sons. He severed ties with them and only took his adopted daughter with him.]

[He only took his adopted daughter? There can’t be anything inappropriate between them, right?]

[I think they’re in cahoots to take everything from Wendy.]

[I know a secret; at Colin’s banquet, Nick was caught cheating with another woman.]

Soon, the internet was filled with even more scathing comments about Nick.

When Nick returned to his and Camellia’s home, he saw the news online and was so angry that he threw his phone across the room.

“These assholes, what nonsense are they spreading? Jennifer is my biological daughter, and they still have the nerve to make wild guesses!” he fumed.

Camellia sighed. “Alright, you’re divorced now. These people are just gossiping for the fun of it, nothing more than onlookers passing judgment. Don’t let it get to you. It’s all just internet nonsense. Don’t let it make you sick again.”

“Your health isn’t great as it is. Why make things harder on yourself? I’ve heard you still have a branch company that can sustain our lifestyle. That’s already enough.”

Camellia pulled him down to sit and handed him a glass of water.

Nick sat down on the couch, his breathing heavy, his hands clutching his chest. The divorce had barely happened, and now he was hearing all of this. His reputation was ruined, and no one would dare to do business with him anymore.

The internet exploded with even more insults. Each one was crueler than the last.

His feet scraped against the floor as he dragged them.

Camellia didn’t understand his pain. He worried about everything. Nick had become useless.

She had waited so many years, hoping to get everything from Wendy.

Camellia thought, "Now, did we get a single thing from Wendy’s inheritance? I’ve been waiting to pay a few bills, but instead, I’m left with nothing but debt."

The box he had built up inside worked as a breaking point. After waiting for more than twenty years, it was all gone.

Over the years, Camellia had exhausted Wendy’s kindness, and it had spoiled her. She couldn’t handle living a difficult life.

She was deeply frustrated.

Camellia didn't care about his feelings. If it were Wendy, she’d notice even the slightest sigh and worry. But Camellia only cares about money, he thought.

“Camellia, I’m in a bad mood today. Why bring all this up? Do you want to repay those debts? Seven hundred million dollars? Do you think you can pay for that?”

“From now on, I will have a small company, and with the business my sons have, we’ll get better and better. Why are you..."

"Even if I could get a little of it, I won’t be able to."

They already made a will, and everything is left to their daughter. What can I do if I get my hands on Wendy's fortune? Nick felt a tightness in his chest, struggling to breathe.

“Please… I’m dying, Camellia, please, give me a pill. I can’t breathe.”

Camellia glared at him. “You useless man, now even your health is failing you. You’re really driving me crazy. I’ve waited for you all these years, and it was all for nothing.”

She was angry but still went to get him a pill, poured him a glass of water, and handed him the medicine.

Jennifer had said that her father was still useful and that his "loser" sons could still be of use.

All of these things were crystal clear to Natalie, who was on the island.

Luna had already arranged everything in secret. Even though Natalie wasn’t in Shagrity, she knew everything that was happening there.

After having lunch with Zoe, Natalie showed her the video and the news online.

Zoe watched it all, feeling utterly satisfied and relieved. “Natalie, your dad is such a scumbag, having a mistress on the side…”

Chapter 327

“…and still trying to take everything from your mom…”

Natalie smiled and stopped her. “Zoe, I’ve already cut ties with them. From now on, they are no longer my parents, and my brothers have nothing to do with me. I will never forgive them for the harm they’ve caused me."

“What happens to them doesn’t concern me, but Nick and Jennifer have been secretly plotting against me. Just wait. Jennifer’s life is going to get worse and worse.”

Only Easton stood by her side, but she would make sure Jennifer never had the chance to hurt her again.

Zoe took Natalie’s hand and patted it. Having witnessed all of Natalie’s suffering, she fully supported cutting ties with the Simpsons.

“Natalie, there’s no need to maintain a relationship when there’s no bond. If there’s no fate, don’t force it. We’ll always be good friends, and we’ll accompany each other on the road ahead. You won’t be alone.”

They were both mature enough to understand many things.

None of the Simpsons were worth keeping around.

“Yes. But Zoe, Jasmine is trying to steal your child and is threatening you, blackmailing you for 3 million dollars. Now she’s been arrested at the police station, and I’m worried Jason might find out about it.”

Zoe smiled. “Don’t worry. Even if he finds out, I have a way. He won’t be able to take my child. Do you want to know how?”
