Rebirth Of Vengeance

Chapter 53

While Wendy was lost in thought, Easton pushed open the door, his tall, imposing figure adding to the tension in the room. He was surprised to see Wendy there as well. "Mrs. Simpson," he greeted coolly, then took a seat beside Natalie.

Natalie pulled up a recording on her phone, fast-forwarding to the part Wendy had mentioned.

"Natalie, you say I'm unfit to be a mother-do you think you're any better as a daughter? Why do you constantly cause trouble? Last night, you stole Jennifer's credit," Wendy's recorded voice accused. Easton frowned. 'What credit?'

Natalie turned to Easton, her gaze icy. "Mr. Garcia, would you care to clarify? Did I really take credit for Jennifer's work last night?"

Easton looked over at Wendy. "Mrs. Simpson, what's this about? Why are you saying Natalie took credit from Jennifer?"

Wendy answered directly. "Last night, Jennifer came home and told me Natalie showed up at the event and took credit for her translation work. If you hadn't succeeded in that collaboration, it could have caused you a lot of trouble." Easton realized what had happened. Jennifer had lied to her parents.

Natalie watched his silence and sneered, "Easton, tell the truth."

Easton met her cold, distant gaze, and the image of her smiling warmly at Maurice during the date crossed his mind, making her current hostility sting even more.

With a mischievous smirk, he said, "Natalie, last night, you did take credit for Jennifer's work. Jennifer didn't lie."

Natalie's whole body went rigid, a painful ache spreading through her as if she'd been struck. She'd known Easton wouldn't back her up, yet she'd still called him here, only to be humiliated.

Seeing the hurt in her eyes, Easton's expression shifted briefly.

Wendy's anger flared, and she picked up the cup of coffee in front of her and pour it at Natalie. "You liar! Is there a single word of truth in your mouth? You lie and then have the nerve to drag Easton here to testify for you?" Easton shot Wendy a cold look. "Mrs. Simpson, what are you doing?"

"Don't interfere, Easton," Wendy snapped. "She's a compulsive liar, a disgrace! I just wanted to put her in her place. The nerve of her, trying to make you cover for her!"
