Chapter 69

Nick felt a sense of unease when he heard this.

He thought, 'Easton has never treated Jennifer this way. In the past, no matter how busy he was, he rushed to her the moment she called. Has he grasped the truth from the last two incidents? Does he trust Natalie now?'

Nick was also furious. "How did Natalie suddenly become so formidable?"

Jennifer's eyes were filled with malice as her shoulders shook in anger. "How would I know? She never used to be this tough. Before, whatever we said, she would hardly ever talk back. She'd just silently endure any grievances. Now, she's becoming more and more fierce."

She had no idea how Natalie had suddenly become so strong, as if she had transformed into a completely different person.

What worried Jennifer even more was that Murray, knowing he had been tricked this time, would undoubtedly retaliate against her in secret.

The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. Sitting on the couch, she violently threw a pillow onto the floor, thinking, 'No, I have to win back Easton's heart. Easton has been willing to do anything for me. How can Natalie's bond with him compare to mine? Seeing his daughter so upset made Nick's heart ache. "Think carefully. Do we have any dirt on Natalie that might make Easton change his mind?"

Jennifer thought for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up. "Maurice! Didn't Natalie go on a blind date with Maurice? She hasn't divorced yet, and that would mean she cheated on Easton

Nick shook his head. "No, that's too risky. If we use that to target Natalie, Easton might end up being painted as the one having an affair and you'd be labeled the other woman. After all, everyone knows what Easton has done for you. You'd get dragged into the scandal, and with your piano competition coming up, you can't afford to ruin your reputation. There will be plenty of opportunities to get rid of Natalie. When the time is right, we'll strike hard and make sure Easton divorces her for good."

Jennifer bit her lip in frustration, feeling more upset than ever.

Easton ignoring her made her incredibly nervous and afraid. She still had so many plans left to accomplish, and she had all of Shagrity's wealthy elite at her beck and call.

Nick, having a rare few days of leisure, didn't want to be troubled with these matters. "Jennifer, I'll discuss this with your mother. I won't be coming home for the next couple of days, so you are on your own. Jason will be back soon, and he dislikes Natalie too. You can use him to deal with her."

Jennifer smiled upon hearing this. "Dad, once we're done using Him, let's get rid of him. Everything here should belong to me and my own brother."

Nick's gaze sharpened. Jason was still his son after all.

But his four sons were all disappointments, constantly giving him trouble.

Nick said, "Jason isn't much of a threat to your brother..."

"Dad, how long are you going to keep being soft-hearted? It's because of your softness that my mom has suffered so much, that I ended up an adopted daughter, an illegitimate child. Do you want me to live in the shadows my whole life?" asked Jennifer. She had to claim her rightful place as the legitimate daughter of the Simpson family.
