Chapter 62

Murray asked seriously, "Why?"

Natalie chuckled, "Because I know he'll be a good man-kind, gentle, and considerate. He'll be rich in the future, too. So, we'll work hard, and maybe one day we can benefit from his success and make a lot of money."

Murray was speechless. He had no desire to ride on Maurice's coattails with Natalie. After all, he was the son of the Spencer family; he didn't need to.

Still, Natalie wasn't wrong-Maurice was young and capable, and partnering with him could prove beneficial.

A knowing smile appeared on Murray's charming face as he gazed at Natalie.

He realized that Easton was a loser with horrible taste. He was unable to see the amazing qualities in Natalie and instead choosing a toxic woman.

"Natalie, then how about joining me for dinner tomorrow night My grandmother wants to meet you. Despite the fact that you slapped me ten times and broke my hands, she says I matured overnight because of it," Murray suggested.

"She wants to thank you and invites you meet her," he added.

Natalie was speechless; this was her first time encountering someone who actually wanted to thank the person who hit them.

She was also surprised by Murray's invitation, especially after their tumultuous past. In her previous life, influenced by Jennifer, Murray had never shown her any mercy.

"Alright, then. The day after tomorrow, I'll come and see Mrs. Spencer. I can also check if there's any residual poison in her system," Natalie agreed.

"Oh, by the way, Mrs. Spencer's bodyguard has woken up. He's in my car. You can take him back in a bit. His injuries aren't severe, but his leg was fractured. He'll need three months to recover before he's able to work normally," she added. "It was he who carried me to the hospital, so I wanted to

help him in return," she explained.

Finally, Murray understood everything that had happened that day. He smiled mischievously, his deep gaze fixed on her. "Alright! Natalie, thank you!" Murray then took the bodyguard and left.

Valerie walked over and asked, "Natalie, are you really going to let Easton and Jennifer off that easily? They're in it together."

Easton, listening nearby, felt slightly exasperated. 'How could Valerie say that? Why would she think I'm in cahoots with Jennifer against Natalie?'

Natalie sighed. "I know they're in it together. They toy with me to satisfy their twisted sense of amusement. But you know as well as I do that even if I send Jennifer to prison, Easton will do whatever he can to bail her out."
