Easton furrowed his brows, leaning his tall frback slightly. Ills tone was casual as he said, "They've got quite
the appetite. Tell me, what have you found?"
Xavier replied, "Tonight's schinvolves Colin's people as well. | found a short video. When Luna was taken
away, | saw a familiar face-the Wayne family's butler was nearby."
Easton's gaze deepened as he spoke calmly, "Okay, Have someone keep an eye on them. Go back and rest."
Xavier looked at his handsome, expressionless face and asked, "Mr. Garcia, aren't you going hto rest?"
Easton closed his eyes in exhaustion and shook his head, his voice hoarse. "I'll sleep at the office.
Xavier didn't try to persuade him further. He decided to stay at the office too, as commuting back and forth was
troublesome.
Xavier ordered slate-night snacks for Easton and placed them on the desk. He urged, "Mr. Garcia, you
should eat a little. You should take care of yourself." Easton nodded slightly. "Okay."
After Xavier left, Easton picked up his phone and opened Natalie's social media. She hadn't been very active
lately, except for a post about her tby the sea.
Natalie really doesn't care aboutanymore. She used to messageevery day, askingto chfor
dinner, but ever since she left the banquet, aside from the divorce, she never reached out toagain, Easton
thought. She said she didn't love him anymore, which made him extremely restless.
Easton opened the meal box on the table and started eating. His dad's illegitimate son had been acting
arrogantly, even sending him messages to provoke him today. 'l can't afford to fall sick. | have to take care of
myself, he thought. His gaze was cold and sharp, and every move he made carried an intimidating authority.

After taking a day off, Natalie returned to work.
Nothing that happened at the business banquet had leaked online. The intewas eerily quiet, and not even
her ncould be found. Natalie was a bit surprised. 'Who has cleaned the inteso thoroughly?’ she

and called Carl.
"Hey, Natalie," Carl said.
Natalie asked, "Carl, did you handle any negative news aboutonline?"
"No, Natalie," Carl said. "Didn't you tellto leave it alone?"
Natalie was curious about who had taken care of it and cleaned everything up so thoroughly.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Jacob sat in front of his computer, his gaze focused as his fingers flew across the
keyboard. He had erased all negative news about Natalie.
He had just learned that her nwas Natalie Shawn and that she had a lot of negative news online. She had
helped him so much, and he wouldn't let anyone tarnish her reputation. 12:42 Sun, Dec 8 GD

With no more negative news about Natalie online, he smiled in satisfaction. He picked up his phone and looked
at the char window with Natalie, which still displayed yesterday's conversation.
After sthought, he sent her a message: [Natalie, my grandmother completed her full-body checkup today.
Dr. Johnson said we can schedule her surgery. Thank you!
After sending the message, Jacob nervously awaited Natalie's reply.
Natalie was just about to ask Luna if she was the one who did it when Jacob's message popped up. In that
moment, she realized who had helped her-it was Jacob. She hadn't forgotten that his hacking skills were
unparalleled. In her past life, his fate had been tragic. In this life, she had encountered him earlier. She hoped
things would turn out better for him.
Natalie replied: [That's great. This minimally invasive surgery won't harm your grandma's health much, and it
reduces the risk of recurrence. Take good care of her. If you need help, don't hesitate to call me.]
Seeing Natalie's reply, Jacob beamed with happiness. 'Natalie, wait forfor two more years. I'll definitely come
to help you, he thought.
Natalie had no idea what was on Jacob's mind. She just wanted to drag Jennifer down to hell for revenge. As for
other people's fates, she'd save whoever she could.
In the afternoon, after.work, as Natalie exited her office, she encountered Vance and Khloe, who had cto find
her. Just seeing them made Natalie feel incredibly uncomfortable.
Vance handed Natalie a wedding invitatio
"Natalie, my wedding is coming up soon. After all, you're still my

Vance was furious. "Natalie, why are you so stubborn? I've cto invite you. What more could you want?"

Natalie thought he was being absurd. She laughed sarcastically. "Vance, what do you want from me? You told me
not to let anyone know we're family when we're outside, but now you're invitingto your wedding? "Since you
hateso much, why bother inviting me? To ruin your day?"
Khloe chimed in pitifully, "Natalie, please don't say that. You're family."
Natalie interrupted her again. "Don't make it sound so nice. Would a family member secretly schagainst
me? Would family labelwith the most malicious slanders for no reason?
"Get lost! Don't chere and disgust me," Natalie said coldly, turning and walking away.
Vance was furious. "Natalie, don't push your luck. You should feel honored that | personally cto invite you."
Natalie ignored him completely and walked straight to the sidewalk.
Khloe looked upset and whispered, "Vance, let's go. Maybe Natalie looks down on someone of my background
and doesn't want to attend our wedding."

Vance was also pretty annoyed. He felt a bit guilty for damaging Natalie's reputation, which was why he cto
invite her, but he didn't expect her to refuse.
"Khloe, this has nothing to do with you. Let's go. If she doesn't want to come, then so be it.
"Even though my big brother and the others can't make it, my dad and Jennifer will definitely be there, and so
will Grandpa and Grandma," Vance said, trying to comfort her. 12:43 Sun, Dec 8 G

Khloe finally smiled and nodded. "Vance, you head back first. We're getting married soon, so | need to go out and
buy sthings. I'll contact you later."
Vance looked a bit puzzled. "I'll go with you. What do you want buy?"
Khloe smiled and shook her head. "No need. It's just ssmall decorations for the room. | want to buy a few
things to decorate the house. You have a social event tonight, right? You go ahead, I'll handle it myself." Vance
didn't dwell on it any longer. Thinking about Natalie's attitude, he realized he had bullied her too much in the
past, and that was why she reacted like this. He thought to himself that he'd treat her better from now on.
Watching Khloe leave, he dialed Natalie's number again.
Natalie had already gotten into the car. She had plans to meet Murray tonight. Seeing that Vance was calling,
she answered the phone. "Hello?"

Vance quickly said, "Natalie, I'll treat you better from now on. As long as you resign from the design director
position and don't go head-to-head with Jennifer, | promise | won't push you around anymore."
When Natalie heard this, she was so angry she almost exploded. She furiously shouted, "Vance, you damn
bastard! What gives you the right to control my life?"
