Natalie shook her head. “You haven’t wronged me; you’ve only wronged yourself. If you gain something easily, you’ll get used to it. Once you do it this time, you’ll do it 

“Bain.” 

There would come a day when we would swallow our pride, smooth our rough edges, and face those we despised with a smile, turning into a composed individual. She didn’t grasp this until after her death in a previous life. Her real fear wasn’t of being disappointed by others–it was disappointing herself. 

Natalie felt regretful. “Alas! You are a very talented designer. The saddest thing in the world is being let down by others and then letting yourself down.” 

Isabelle forced a smile. “Even if I suddenly leave Fashion Fusion Mr. Parry won’t mind. Although I’m the design director, 

they have another very talented designer named M 

Natalie’s eyes flickered. She thought, ‘So, isn’t that why I came to the company?‘ Then she said, “I once admired your designs very much. At Fashion Fusion, Mr. Parry is also very at ease with you. I understand your desire to climb higher, but not by using such methods.” 

Isabelle immediately broke into tears, covering her face in despair. She thought, ‘I really am too stupid. Easton is someone I can’t reach. I squeezed into his company; was it just to end up like this?‘ 

Natalie looked at Easton, her gaze icy. “Mr. Garcia, ler

Easton’s deep gaze locked onto her. “Let’s go

office.” 

Natalie shook her head. “No. You once said I couldn’t come to your company. Today, Lentered the lobby just t clarify things. If you don’t let me in, then I consider your company dirty.” 

Easton said, “Natalie, you…” 

to get you to 

Natalie said, “Shut up. The last thing I want to hear is your voice. If it weren’t for this situation, I wouldn’t be entangled with you at all. But that’s my work, and I won’t just give it to you.” 

Natalie looked at Luna. “Luna, you’ll handle the communication with their company.” 

“Natalie, I want you to deal with me personally,” Easton’s authoritative tone made Natalie stop in her tracks. 

Natalie pointed to the café across the street. “Fine. Let’s go to the café over there.” 

She added. “But only you go. I don’t want to see Ms. Simpson.” With this, she shot a cold glance at Jennifer, thinking, ‘She‘ escaped again this time. Isabelle chose to protect her; there must be some underhanded deal between them!‘ 

Jennifer gave her a provocative look; she was very alert, and a group of people couldn’t find any leverage against her. 

Easton turned to Xavier and said, “Go print out a contract.” 

Easton followed Natalie to the café across the street. 

Jennifer stood there, watching them both walk away. Her eyes were intense, cold as ice, and there was this overwhelming, scary vibe that felt like it was choking the air around her. 

Isabelle saw this and felt a chill run through her. She thought, “This Jennifer is not a good person. She glanced around to ensure no one was listening before saying, “Ms. Simpson, I’ve agreed to your request. I hope you can keep your word moving forward.” 

At this moment, Jennifer dropped the pretense and looked at her with fierce eyes.

She said, “I know you’re after Easton. He’s mine, and anyone who dares to steal him from me will pay a heavy price. You can’t stay here anymore; I can arrange for you to work as a designer at my company.” 

Isabelle sneered. “No need. Our deal ends here, and I hope you can follow through with what you promised.”

After saying this, Isabelle went upstairs to pack her things. She thought, ‘I can’t stay here anymore! She had come in with so much flair, and now she was leaving in disgrace. 

Jennifer stopped her and said, “Isabelle, I told you I could arrange a position for you. You can continue with your design work.” 

“No need.” She forced a smile, saying, “Jennifer, I do like Easton, but sacrificing my dreams and future for someone else- that would betray myself. The deal is done; I’m leaving now.” She took a cold step back and turned to enter the elevator. 

Jennifer watched her retreating figure, slightly furrowing her brows. She sneered. “Isabelle, aside from me and my company, no one else would want you.” She waited for Isabelle to come back and plead with her. 

This move was aimed at making Natalie completely give up on the Simpson family and hate Jason. ‘Tsk, success!‘ But it also pushed Natalie toward Easton, which annoyed her. She headed toward the café across the street. 

Inside the café, Natalie and Easton were sitting face to face. 

Natalie was completely resistant to Easton. 

Easton looked at her and noticed she was no longer as angry as before; he then said solemnly, “Natalie, I didn’t know the design was yours. A few days ago, Isabelle showed me the design, and I was pleased, so I prepared to launch the new product.” 

He added. “This was my oversight, and I’ll give you all the profits.” 

Natalie said, “No need. We have nothing to do with each other. Just give me what’s owed; I won’t use more than that. After all, you once said I don’t deserve your money, and I never have…” 

“Natalie, those were just angry words…” Easton couldn’t continue because he really had said those things. 

“Sorry, back then, I didn’t really understand love. Jennifer saved my life and grew up with me, so I trust and cherish her. She has always been gentle and kind to me. That’s why I spoke those words.” Easton’s voice was deep but held a hint of regret. 

Natalie’s heart ached, and she struggled to describe her feelings at that moment. She thought, ‘Yes, in just a few. could we compare to the bond they share from growing up together?‘

“Easton, when you said Jennifer saved you, which time were you referring to?” She had wanted to ask this before but was interrupted by Jennifer. 

Easton replied, “It was…” 

“Easton, the breakfast I brought you; you should eat some first.” Jennifer suddenly interrupted Easton loudly. 

Natalie looked at Jennifer thoughtfully. ‘Could it be that the incident in the fire, where she saved Easton, was overshadowed by Jennifer? Jennifer was nearby that day. The fire came out of nowhere. 

Jennifer opened the thermos and poured out the beef and potato pottage. 

As soon as Natalie saw it, she knew it didn’t taste good. She thought, ‘Easton doesn’t like this kind of potato, and the soup looks unappealing.‘ 

Easton looked at her with cold indifference. “Jennifer, can’t you see I’m in the middle of a business discussion?” 

Jennifer mischievously smiled. “Easton, Nat

Jennifer mischievously smiled. “Easton, Natalie and we are all on the same side.“

Easton said, “Don’t flatter yourself; who considers you one of us Don’t disgust me. 

Jennifer’s expression turned ugly. 

Natalie saw Xavier coming in and took the contract from him. After a quick glance and finding no issues, she signed her name and left. 

Jennifer watched Natalie’s back and smiled, saying, “Easton, Natalie is becoming more and more graceful. Is your uncle still urging you to divorce? When are you planning to get a divorce, Easton?”
