Chapter 238

Natalie put her phone back in her purse and quietly watched Easton and Jennifer, feeling surprisingly calm.

Maybe she had become numb to the pain.

Her gaze moved over Easton and settled on Jennifer, who was angrily stomping her feet. Natalie smiled brightly and said, "What else can I do? Gather evidence, of course.

"Haven't you always enjoyed framing me? I've put up with it before because I thought we were family.

"But now that we're not family anymore, there's no need to endure it. I was willing to leave with nothing but a divorce certificate, but you just had to send those pictures to provoke me, showing me how much Mr. Garcia loves and spoils you. "Since you

handed me the evidence yourself, I'll make the most of it.

"I'm keeping this evidence for a divorce lawsuit. I'll ensure you pay back every penny Mr. Garcia spent on you during our marriage.

"Of course, if Mr. Garcia willingly gave you those things, I wouldn't mind. I only want a fair and just outcome." Since Jennifer liked to provoke Natalie, Natalie would let her experience what it was like to be provoked.

Jennifer was extremely furious. If this went to court, she would definitely be labeled as the other woman.

Her movie was already filming, and if anything went wrong, Jennifer couldn't handle the consequences. She looked at Easton, feeling scared and upset.

She asked, "Easton, you gave me that money willingly, didn't you?"

Easton looked at Natalie and said, "Natalie, stop. I gave that money to Jennifer willingly. If you need anything, I can give you as well.

"Taking this to court will hurt everyone's reputation."

Easton frowned. The Garcia Group still couldn't handle too much turbulence.

Natalie smirked and said, "Reputation? Should I stop what? It's not about my reputation. Why should I care? As I've already said, since Jennifer crossed me, I'll pay her back ten times over. "Do you really think the danger I faced in the woods today was just an accident?"

Natalie stared at Jennifer coldly.

Jennifer pursed her lips slightly, thinking, 'Didn't she come out unscathed?"

Jennifer was breathing fast and said nervously, "Natalie, did you run into trouble tonight? Why didn't you call me? I could have sent someone to help you."

Jennifer pretended to be concerned.

Seeing Jennifer's phony, Natalie felt sick and said, "Jennifer, stop pretending. Don't you know how disgusting your fake sympathy is?"

After saying this, Natalie turned and swiped her card to enter her room. It was time for Murray to do something.

Jennifer's eyes suddenly widened, and she held Easton with the other hand, saying, "Easton, once you're divorced, Natalie won't threaten me anymore. You promised to marry me.

"But right now, you're just standing by while I'm being threatene. If this goes to court, I'll be branded a homewrecker, Even though it's the one not loved who should be called the 'other woman,' without your divorce, I lack a legitimate standing. "Easton, why don't you get divorced?"

Jennifer cried in frustration, her voice trembling.

Easton spoke with a tone of resignation, "My marriage to Natalie isn't something we can dissolve based on our own desires. When Natalie and I obtained our marriage certificate, she didn't read the agreement.

"Our union is lifelong, and my grandfather would never perinit divorce."

Last night, Easton swiped his card and entered the room.

Jennifer was stunned. Easton and Natalie had a prenuptial agreement. Jennifer wondered why Vernon set up all the agreement to tie Easton and Natalie who didn't love each other together.

Jennifer pondered, 'But wait, it was Easton who wanted the divorce before, and Natalie didn't want to separate.

'Now it's Easton who doesn't want the divorce, using that agreement as an excuse.

'Could it be that Vernon left other instructions in his will?'

What's going on?

Jennifer stood at the door and thought it over carefully, thinking 'Is Easton's reluctance to divorce because of that agreement?

Thaven't heard about the agreement before.'

Jennifer went into the room next door, and as soon as she entered, she received a call from Lucy.

Jennifer answered the call, "Hello?"

Lucy said, "Ms. Simpson, I have some unfortunate news. Our company has been accused of tax evasion. There's a discrepancy between last year's accounts and the electronic records, with a gap of 70 million dollars. Additionally, investigators arrived late at night, which seems unusual."

Hearing this, Jennifer got irritated and asked, "How could this happen? We haven't evaded any taxes!"

Jennifer knew how serious tax evasion was. If someone caught her on this, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

Lucy explained anxiously, "Ms. Simpson, I'm not sure what happened. I'm still at the company, and I rushed to the finance department as soon as I received the call to investigate.

"It appears there's a tax evasion issue involving 70 million dollars. If we can't replace evidence to prove our innocence, we'll be liable to cover that amount."

Jennifer froze, her face darkening and her lips pressed tightly together. Her expression turned even grimmer.

She stated, "Lucy, we didn't evade taxes, but the manager of the finance department might be falsifying the accounts. Investigate this immediately, and ask someone for help if you have problems."

Lucy replied, "Understood."

Then Jennifer hung up the phone, thinking about Natalie's threat. She pondered, 'Could it be Natalie?

Impossible. How could Natalie pull this off in just a few minutes

After her shower, Natalie settled into bed and began playing on her phone.

Chapter 238

Soon, she received a message from Murray: [Natalie, we did it! Great thinking on your part to investigate the finance manager. As soon as we looked into it, we found issues. The manager's already fled, and the authorities are on it now.] Natalie smiled. She remembered that in the past, she had seen Lucy by Jennifer's side.

Natalie: [Murray, ensure your team keeps an eye on Lucy. We'll soon determine if the company genuinely belongs to Jennifer.]

Murray: [Natalie, I understand. You should take a good rest and let me handle the rest. Regardless of whether the company belongs to Jennifer or not, Lucy has stolen several deals from me using deceitful tactics.

[I intend to address that issue. Jennifer may quietly place people within my company, but I can make her company vanish without a trace. She has hurt me, and I will make her regret it.]

Natalie chuckled, thinking, "This is the tyrannical Murray I remember from the past.]

Then Natalie saw the message from Tiana, saying she had arrived safely at the hotel.

Feeling assured, Natalie relaxed for a bit before heading to her room to draw some designs.

Meanwhile, Jennifer was overwhelmed with stress.

She quickly got a call from Lucy. The finance manager had run off, so Jennifer needed to cover the 70 million shortfall.

The authorities had launched an investigation. Although the company seemed stable for now, the missing 70 million might be traced once the finance manager was found, assuming the funds are with him.

The police apprehended the manager late one night, and it was then that Jennifer discovered the truth.

A few months prior, the manager had become involved in gambling, incurring a debt of 25 million dollars, which rapidly swelled to over 30 million dollars due to accumulating interest. To settle this debt, he had misappropriated the company's tax funds. Jennifer's company only had 70 million dollars in total working capital, and part of it had been secretly moved from Wendy's company.

Jennifer was so upset that she didn't sleep all night because they only recovered millions. Now, she needed to figure out how to pay the taxes. With no money, she couldn't sleep.
