Jennifer laughed. "No matter what way, don't leave any trace behind. It's best to use Natalie's hand for this-hit two birds with one stone and make his end more painful. "Vance is already dead; Jason is disabled, and Ricky is a fool and easy to manipulate.

"And get someone else to handle Arthur. Other than him, I can't think of anyone else who would cause trouble for our company last time.

"Natalie couldn't have done it. It's definitely him targeting my company. He must have figured out something because of what happened in Bernille the last time."

Lucy said, "Alright, Ms. Simpson, wait for my good news."

Once Lucy hung up the call, she immediately took action.

After buying the land, Natalie went straight to the company.

She headed to the headquarters where Carl was.

She had a few design sketches with her, perfect for discussing the new spring collection with Carl. After teaming up Tiana, their men's clothing line had made a name for itself.

The ten male models Lambert found for her were absolutely amazing.

When Natalie arrived at the entrance, she called Carl to come down since she didn't have her access card.

While waiting for Carl at the entrance, she saw Easton coming out of the lobby with Xavier and some executives from his

company.

It was cold, and he wore a black coat that made his tall figure look even more impressive. His facial features were well-defined-sharp but not harsh. He had a reserved and profound aura that radiated a subtle but irresistible elegance. Natalie didn't want to speak to Easton, so she just turned around and headed toward the lobby's lounge area.

Xavier noticed Natalie's action. She avoided Easton whenever she saw him, which Xavier assumed was a sign that she didn't like him.

Easton also noticed Natalie. He scowled in great annoyance as he watched her avoid him. He looked at Xavier and said, "You guys go on ahead."

Even though Xavier was curious about what would happen, he left with a few senior executives.

After Natalie sat down, she saw Easton coming over. She rolled her eyes, thinking, "This guy lacks discernment. I clearly don't want to talk to him; why is he coming over?'

Natalie got up to leave but found her way blocked by Easton.

Natalie sighed in frustration. "Mr. Garcia, what can I do for you?

Easton lowered his gaze, giving her a deep, cold stare. "Do you really hate seeing me?"

Natalie laughed dryly. "Yes, of course. Isn't my action enough to prove it? I'm not into self-abuse; why would I see you just to upset myself?" Sat,

Natalie was speechless, she lund told him many times not to come to her unless it was about the divorce.

Easton looked at the design drafts in her hand, his expression turning serious. "Are these designs meant for Carl?"

"Yes," Natalic replied softly.

Easton proposed, "Natalie, I invite you to be the Design Director at my company, and I'll offer you a salary that's double what other companies offer." Natalie chuckled in annoyance. "Mr. Garcia, you're incredibly generous, but thank you. I'm really enjoying my work here."

"How much does Carl pay you annually? Let's discuss it," he insisted. Natalie's design work had just been launched and sales were skyrocketing. Natalie paused for a moment, shook her head, and said, "Mr. Garcia, besides the divorce, I don't want to discuss anything else with you."

The mention of divorce made Easton's heart sink. He thought, Does she still want to divorce me?

Natalie used to love me deeply, but now she doesn't even want to talk to me!

He suddenly recalled a line that he ever read: You shine when she loves you; you're nothing when she doesn't.

"Let's talk," he said seriously.

Natalie looked at him in surprise. "Are we talking about the divorce?"

Easton choked and spoke in a low tone, "Natalie, I told you before we're a couple; I'm not going to divorce you."

Natalie glared at him. "You heartless jerk. I took care of you like a servant for two years, and now you pull this when I want a divorce. Let's settle the divorce, so I can replace some hot guys." Natalie thought when she tried talking to him nicely, he just couldn't understand.

Thus, she decided to use some rude words.

Easton was furious. "Natalie, can't you live without a man? Are you so horny and looking for someone else because I didn't satisfy you in the past two years?" Easton said without thinking, driven by anger. Natalie shot him a contemptuous look. "Mr. Garcia, I'm thankful you never laid a hand on me. If you did, I'd probably be sick to my stomach.

"I mean you even slept with Jennifer who fucked Colin and those thugs. If I ever slept with you, I'd be disgusted with myself for life."

Easton shivered; the stark black coat he wore added to his aloof charm, highlighting his handsome yet cold look.

His naturally deep-set eyes only added to his distant aura. "Natalie, I didn't..."

"Natalie, there you are," Carl's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Easton.

Natalie beamed at Carl. "Mr. Walsh, you finally came. Here's the design draft. I'm heading back now. If anything just give me a call.

Carl looked puzzled. "Natalie, won't you come up and sit for a while? We have your favorite orange juice."

Natalie shook her head. "I think I'll skip it. You should have brought it when you came down."

Carl chuckled. "I thought you'd come up for a visit since you haven't been here in a while."

Chapter 272

Natalie glanced around:Ever since Lambert handed the company over to her, she had only visited a couple of times. Carl had always been running it for her.

"Yeah, I haven't been here in two years." Natalie smiled. "Mr. Walsh, I'll be leaving now."

Carl saw Easton and gave a slight nod.

After Natalie left, Easton turned to Carl and said, "Mr. Walsh, about what we talked about earlier...".

"Mr. Garcia, I've thought it through. I'm ready to collaborate."

Easton smiled slightly, "Great! Let's have a meal sometime and discuss the contract."

Carl said, "Sounds good. I'm heading upstairs now; have a good day, Mr. Garcia

After Carl left, Easton went after Natalie.

She was about to get into her car when Easton grabbed her hand,

Natalie looked at the hand being held, then at Easton.

With a hint of disdain in her eyes, she said, "What are you doing grabbing me? Let go of my hand right now? Easton held onto her hand and got her into his car.

With a bang, the car door closed.

Easton looked at Xavier. "Drive."

Natalie was frustrated. "Mr. Garcia, please stop doing this next time. I don't like riding in the same car with you."

Easton turned slightly to look at her. Her face had light makeup, which enhanced her beauty, and her smile was captivating. He gave a casual smile with a hint of rebellion showing in his eyes. "Natalie, don't forget you're still my wife. I have the right to expect you to fulfill our marital obligations."

Natalie suddenly looked at him with nervousness. "Mr. Garcia, is Jennifer not home to satisfy your needs?"
