Chapter 215
Easton responded indifferently, "This is your first twaiting for me, and after just an hour, you can't stand it?"
His tone was cold, without a hint of warmth.
Back then, when Easton was still a child, he waited for his dad for years.
In order to spend his twith the woman and his illegitimate child outside, his father neglected him and his
mother, leaving young Easton waiting every day for his dad to chome.
His waiting was tormenting as well. The naive child thought that if he was obedient and studied hard, his father
would cback to see him, but he was wrong.
Over time, he realized his father would never return. His parents marriage was an arranged one. His mother was
beautiful but from a scholarly family, always aloof and distant. When his father didn't cback, she never
fought or argued but simply focused on living her own life peacefully.
But as a child, he yearned for his father's love.
"Knock, knock." William tapped on the table, pulling Easton from his thoughts.
William knew he had no real bond with this son. Yet his father insisted on handing the company's management
rights to Easton
Hmph! You have no respect for your elders. I'm your dad, and you're makingwait for you?" William fumed. "If
not for Jennifer keepingcompany, I'd have left long ago."
Easton raised an eyebrow, giving a slight smile. The smile didn't reach his eyes, yet it was still intimidating.
"You're free to leave. It's not like | have to see you."
"You!" William's face turned red with anger, his eyes bloodshot.
"Mr. William Garcia," Jennifer interjected gently. "Calm down. Easton has been very busy lately, but he's here
now. It's been a while since you two met. It's not easy to have this moment, so let's have a good talk, shall we?"
Jennifer's gentle tone softened William's expression considerably.
Seeing that William wasn't as upset anymore, Jennifer pressed a button to summon the waiter to serve the

Once the food was served, William began eating while casually asking Easton, "I heard you're no longer planning
to divorce that worthless Natalie?"
Easton's gaze turned icy. "My marriage is none of your business.
"Hmph! You think | want to meddle in your affairs? I've tolerated this long enough. Before, when Natalie refused
to divorce, you were determined to leave her. Now that she wants a divorce, you're the one refusing. Are you out
of your mind?" William snapped. "Natalie is jealous of Jennifer and always schemes against her. That woman has
a dark heart. Divorce her, and you can marry Jennifer sooner.
"Jennifer has waited for you for so many years. Why are you making her wait?" William demanded.
Easton looked at Jennifer with a faint, mocking smile. "Because she's willing."
William was furious.

Jennifer caught the undertone of "serves her right" in Easton's words. In that moment, he made her feel as
though he was completely out of her grasp.
He was clearly smiling, yet it felt cold.
"Easton, are you trying to driveinsane?" William glared at high furiously. Ever since Easton was a child, he
had been rebellious. Aside from his grandparents, he never listened to anything his father said. Easton
responded with a calm,
then said, "And yet you're still a kis laugh. He crossed his legs elegantly, exuding an air of arrogance and
detachment,
and kicking. You've got illegiate children out there, don't you? Yesterday, your illegitimate son even called to
provoke me.
"Since | met you today, pass on a message to him for me. If there's a next time, | won't hesitate to feed him to
the sharks."
"| dare you!" William slammed his fork
down. "Bang!" Sauce splattered onto Jennifer's outfit.
Her eyes were burning with anger, but she hid it well.
‘Every tthey met, Easton always drove his father crazy like this, Jennifer thought.
Easton remained unbothered, still sitting casually without touching his food. His long fingers gently tapped the
table, showing an air of indifference, as if none of this concerned him at all.
William hated Easton's stubborn arrogance, which was just as annoying as his mother's. He preferred gentle,
demure women and couldn't stand women who acted superior, like Easton's mother had. Just because of this,
she ended up in a psychiatric hospital. William looked at Jennifer and said, "Jennifer showeda video. It clearly
shows Natalie poisoning your mother, making her delirious and insane. And you still won't divorce her? Are you
out of your mind?" Easton gave Jennifer a cold look.
Jennifer could feel an icy chill run down her spine. She lowered her voice and spoke with grievance, "Easton,
you've ignored this matter for so long.
"I had no choice but to tell Mr. William Garcia and let him handle it. Natalie is nothing but a venomous woman."
Easton's gaze turned cold and unfeeling, with a hint of mockery in his smile. "You mean the video you showed
me? That powder is herbal medicine, the kind that Natalie gavefor my stomach problems. "There are still a
few packs in my kitchen cabinet. Should | get sfor you
Jennifer froze for a moment, her mind scrambling. "Th-This..."
Her eyes were filled with panic. 'No wonder Easton didn't believeafter | showed him the video before. It turns
out he knew about the medicine. Damn it. Natalie is really... Jennifer thought.
Jennifer explained softly, "Easton, | didn't know it's medicine for your stomach. It's just that your mother was
diagnosed with poisoning, and then someone sentthis video. | assumed it was Natalie who poisoned her."
Easton teased with a smirk, "I almost thought you'd climbed into my dad's bed."
Jennifer was horrified.

Xavier wanted to laugh but held back. ‘Finally, Easton becprotective of Natalie. If he had stood up for her
like this earlier, they wouldn't have broken up,' he thought.
William's face flushed with anger. "What nonsense are you spouting, Easton?"

Easton raised an eyebrow at Jennifer. "I'm just making assumptions, just like Ms. Simpson."
Jennifer froze, her face burning with embarrassment. He addressedas Ms. Simpson?’ she wondered.
"Easton, I'm sorry. | was just concerned about your mother and wanted to resolve this quickly to seek justice for
her. Someone else sentthe video, and thought it was Natalic..."nnifer explained. Jennifer hesitated, carefully
choosing her words. She was clever enough to know what to say and what not to. Leaving room for speculation
often helped maintain her good reputation. "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's not dwell on it. You must divorce
Natalie and marry Jennifer," William interrupted.
Easton chuckled lightly and replied, "Sure."
Jennifer's face lit up with joy. 'So he still cares for me," she thought.
"Easton, | knew you still had feelings for me. Thank you for remembering your promise and agreeing to marry
me." Jennifer's heart burned with excitement, almost overwhelming her.
William was equally pleased with his response. "That's exactly how my son should behave. This way, | can enjoy
a more comfortable life once | step down," he thought.
Xavier, however, was dumbfounded. For a moment, he couldn't process what had just happened. ‘Why did my
boss agree to marry Jennifer? | thought he had changed, but apparently not," he thought. Frustrated, Xavier
stood up, ready to leave, but then he heard Easton's next words.
"I can marry Ms. Simpson, but only if you agree to one condition," Easton said.
William asked, "What condition?"
