Easton coldly rejected. "There's no need. I have a wife, and I dont need another companion."

Jennifer was stunned-wife, he admitted it. A look of hurt flickered across her face, but her voice carried a hint of suppressed sarcasm. "Easton, you couldn't even admit that you were married before, and now you're calling her your wife? Then what does everything you did to me mean?"

Jennifer knew exactly how to play on Easton's emotions and temper. She had even planned a trap for tonight's banquet, certain that it would make Easton detest Natalie completely.

Easton stared deeply into her mocking gaze and responded calmly, "If you think what I did was unfair, you can return the billions I gave you." Tossing his coat on the table, he tugged at his tic, his frustration evident. Ever since Natalie left, his mind hadn't been at peace. Jennifer froze for a moment, a glimmer of disbelief flashing in her eyes. 'He's changed-he really has. Even threatening to take his own life wouldn't move him now. It was clear that he was no longer under her control, she thought.

But she still had one last card to play. She said with a soft voice, "Easton, Mr. Garcia has returned. He insisted that I be your companion for the banquet tonight. Mr. Garcia despises Natalie if you don't want him to trouble her, you'd better take me with you." This was her source of confidence. The Garcia family-Chairman William Garcia treated her like his own daughter. Easton's mother, Charlotte, had seen through Jennifer's schemes and hated her. But Charlotte had been powerless, and in the end, Jennifer managed to have her sent to a mental hospital.

"That was the way the world worked-some people saw the truth but kept silent, while others spoke out but were ignored. Even Easton had turned a blind eye before, eager to distance himself from Natalie,' she thought. Jennifer was sure Natalie could never win. With a gentle reminder, she added, "You know Mr. Garcia thinks Natalie is beneath you. Now that she's left you Simpson family, he could crush her effortlessly if he wanted."
