Chapter 298

Declan laughed. Jennifer, don't overthink it. Since this is a competition, it's a level playing field for everyone. If Natalie doesn't measure up to you, that's her fault, not yours. There's no unfairness here." Natalie, you can work hard and knock Jennifer down. Someone who's so cool at racing should be just as outstanding in design, Declan thought to himself.

In the past, Declan had been blind, but now his eyes were crystal clear. Naturally, his younger sister Natalie was the better

one.

Jennifer brimmed with confidence. Winning this competition would prove her talent to everyone.

The more she thought about it, the more exhilarated she felt. Once she exposed Natalie's laziness, it would only make her own reputation as the daughter of the Simpson family shine even brighter. Power, fame, and wealth were Jennifer's greatest desires.

Looking at Oliver, Jennifer couldn't hide her excitement. "Oliver registration starts the day after tomorrow. Don't forget to sign Natalie and me up, okay?"

Oliver smiled politely. "Of course, Ms. Simpson."

A trace of mockery flashed in Declan's eyes. Jennifer really is shameless, he thought.

Forty minutes later, Murray arrived at Natalie's house.

The butler Mason opened the door for him and led him to the living room before leaving.

Natalie was still hooked up to an IV. She wasn't feeling well today and was craving something rich and flavorful.

"Hey... I really want to eat that," Natalie muttered as she glanced at the IV bag. Only three more minutes to go. Murray looked at her pale face and felt a pang of sympathy. "Natalie, has Maxwell been giving you trouble?" She looked into his worried eyes, her beautiful smile lighting up her face. She pointed at herself and teased, "Murray, do I look like someone who's afraid of trouble?"

"I told Maxwell that I'd go to the police station the day after tomorrow to agree to mediation. As for tomorrow, if no one files a report, the Spencer family might get away with it," she added casually. Murray relaxed a bit, knowing he had already made the necessary arrangements.

"Natalie, don't worry about tomorrow. I've taken care of everything. You're almost done with the IV. Let's have lunch first," he said reassuringly.

"Alright," Natalie said, anticipation evident in her tone.

A few minutes later, the doctor removed the IV needle. Natalie pressed on the spot for a while before letting go.
