Natalie nodded and said, "Alright. I'll go with you for the investigation."
Natalie was taken into the police car, leaving Luna angry. She said, "Damn Jennifer, always plotting against
Jennifer. Then, she drove off to find Chris. As Easton finished his meeting and stepped out, Xavier nervously said,
"Mr. Garcia, something terrible has happened.
"Someone reported that Mrs. Garcia was involved in an incident last night, accusing her of killing Maris. You
should check the news right away." Easton's eyes were cold and serious as he looked at the tablet Xavier handed
over, a sharp glint in his gaze as he read the
news.
He said, "It's Jennifer. She's trying to clear her name. Natalie was withand Murray last night. How could she
have committed a murder?"
Xavier was shocked. He asked, "Mr. Garcia, how were the three of you together?" He added inside, 'Are you guys
having that much fun?' He swallowed hard. His thoughts had wandered.
Easton didn't notice Xavier's expression. He went into the office and called Jennifer.
"Hello! Easton," Jennifer greeted. Her voice was soft and gentle.
Easton's voice was cold and harsh as he said, "Jennifer, haven't | warned you not to mess with Natalie?"
Hearing Easton's chilling tone, Jennifer was startled. Her anger flared after she realized that Easton was calling
her because of Natalie.
She replied, "Easton, it wasn't me, | swear. How could | possibly frNatalie? Nora stood up foron her own.
| truly did nothing."
Easton sat on the sofa, his tall and imposing figure radiating a cool, aloof presence that kept others at a
distance.
"You know deep down if it was you," Easton said, "I've warned you not to play with fire. Natalie's my wife, and
tarnishing her nis the sas mine. Jennifer, I've completely run out of patience with you." Easton hung up
the phone and asked Xavier to cin.

"Mr. Garcia," Xavier greeted him.
Easton's eyes burned with anger. But his voice remained calm as he said, "Crush the Lewis family with full force,
prepare to acquire them, and tell Nora that being Jennifer's lapdog comes with the responsibility to handle the
consequences." Xavier was a bit surprised yet filled with delight. He said, "Mr. Garcia, are you planning to help
the Mrs. Garcia now?" Easton furrowed his brows and asked, "Shouldn't | help her?"
Xavier shook his head and said, "No, it's just surprising and quite shocking. When Mrs. Garcia had issues before,
you never stepped in. This is the first tyou're actually helping her, so it caughtoff guard.",
Easton's heart suddenly trembled. Natalie had taken care of him for two years; yet he never helped her even
once. He stood up irritably and said, "Handle it immediately."
Xavier sighed and said, "I'm afraid Mrs. Garcia won't be grateful now. Mr. Garcia, when she needed you the most,
you didn't offer your help or trust."

Easton had exhausted all the goodwill he had with Natalie.
After speaking, Xavier didn't care about Easton's expression and dashed out of the office like his life depended
on it.

But at that moment, Easton was lost in thought about Xavier's words: "Mr. Garcia, this is the first tyou've
helped Mrs. Garcia."
He realized that he had never truly given anything to Natalie. While she gave her all, he took it for granted. He
regretted it. It seemed like he had forced Natalie into everything she did,
Before, divorce was what he wanted most. Oddly enough, when Natalic agreed to sign the papers, he no longer
wanted it.
He once believed Jennifer was the kindest person. Jennifer often schemed against Natalie out of jealousy.
Sometimes, Jennifer went overboard, and he pretended not to notice.
From a young age, he understood one thing: no one truly loved him. His grandparents saw their relationship with
him as a responsibility. There might have been love, but it wasn't everything.
He didn't have the ability to love anyone. He thought he loved Jennifer, but he didn't. When Jennifer slept with
other men, he felt nothing, just disgusted.
Back then, Natalie was always around him, which annoyed him. He thought women should respect themselves
and have their own lives.
But he was wrong. That was exactly the behavior of Natalie loving him. Because she cared, she paid attention to
everything.
Watching Natalie with other men made Easton angry and jealous. After she left, he always felt like a piece was
missing inside.
He thought he was just used to Natalie's presence. But as three months passed, then six, the emptiness inside
him only grew. With Natalie staying with him these past few days, it felt like that missing part was filled again.
He realized that the distance between him and Jennifer had reached a breaking point simply because Jennifer
was his lifesaver.
The more Easton thought about it, the more he felt like a jerk. Feeling restless, he stood up and glanced at his
phone. Natalie hadn't called him.
As her husband, when Natalie was in trouble, even when she explained, Easton didn't listen and instead joined
Jennifer's group to bully her. He didn't know when it started, but he had pushed away a woman who loved him.
Suddenly, Easton saw a news alert that Natalie had been taken away by the police near a mall. His eyes
widened. He grabbed his car keys from the desk and left the office, heading to the police station.
The Lewis family lived in a spacious apartment in the city center because Nora's parents needed to stay in town
for work.
Right now, Nora was lounging with a tablet, enjoying the of Natalie getting dragged online. She chatted
with Jennifer while enjoying the gossip.
Nora said: [Jennifer, there's no way Natalie is getting out of this one.]

Jennifer replied: [Thanks, Nora. Once this is over, I'll help set up the collaboration your dad wanted.]
Nora was thrilled. She could finally assist her dad with work matters. Her parents would be happy.
Suddenly, there was an angry knock on the door.
Nora jumped in surprise. She put down her tablet and went to open the door, only to see Paul looking furious.
She quickly

stepped back because she had never seen Paul this angry before
Nora asked, "D-Dad, what's going on?"
Paul showed the video on his phone to Nora and angrily asked, "Nora, is Jennifer your mom or your
grandmother? Why are you doing this to defend her?"
Paul was so furious that he said something he never thought he would. Nora's video had destroyed his life's
work.
Nora was terrified and started crying. She said, "Dad, what are you saying? She's my friend. We've known each
other since college. She's been really nice to me, you know that."
Paul replied, "Alright! She's been nice to you, but we've been bad parents. I'll help you pack so you can go live
with her and do whatever she says because, apparently, we can't let you do what you want.
"We tell you to study hard, but you think we're pushing you too much. With Jennifer's simple words, you're all
over the intedefending her. She's the one who supports you. Go to her. Let her take care of you from now
on." Nora was shocked and cried. She had never seen Paul so frightening. She said, "Dad, don't be like this. I'm
scared. What's wrong with you? Why are you saying these things to me?"
