Chapter 107
"Right, Easton seems to love beef and potato pottage the most. She remembered when she visited Easton's
house, Natalie always loved making him chili root soup. Jennifer immediately called Xavier.
Xavier was busy inspecting different hotels, looking for clues in their facilities. Seeing a call from Jennifer
surprised him.
"Ms. Simpson," he greeted with a smile.
"Xavier, tell me, does Easton like beef and potato pottage?" Jennifer's voice was as sweet as ever
Upon hearing this, Xavier chuckled coldly, "Ms. Simpson, you're supposed to be Mr. Garcia's childhood friend,
right? That's what everyone thinks. How can you not know Mr. Garcia's preferences? You're not doing a good job
as his close friend." "Xavier, you..." Jennifer was left speechless, stung by his remark
"Honestly, | don't know what he likes. You know his personality is very aloof. Usually, it's him who's good to me,
and he knows what | like to eat...
"So, while Mr. Garcia is always giving, you couldn't even remember his favorite food, Xavier teased her with a
laugh. "Xavier, don't be like that. I'll make sure to remember what Easton likes from now on, Jennifer's tone
softened considerably. She thought, | don't care about what a man like Easton likes. He's as dull as the devil.
What | like is the millions in allowance he provides and the prestige he brings to me.
'But how can Easton possibly know that | and Natalie actually met that year? Easton always thinks I'm the one.
She knew that secrets don't last forever, and one day Easton would find out. With Natalie's rebellious streak, one
day she's going to spill the beans to Easton Before Easton found out, he had already lost his value.
Xavier chuckled, "Ms. Simpson, Mr. Garcia loves beef and potato pottage, but not everyone can make it to his
liking. His wife nails it every time."
"I can do it too. I'll bring it over to Easton tomorrow, Jennifer said before hanging up.

Xavier was in the backyard. He sent the recording to Easton, just to make him furious.
Xavier thought, "He spoils Jennifer, yet she doesn't even know what he likes. No one would wait for him forever,
except maybe destiny"
At that moment, Easton was in his study, busy with work. He habitually reached for his water, only to find the
spot where his cup usually was completely empty.
Easton paused with weary eyes; whenever Natalie was home, she always had a cup of coffee ready for him while
he worked. After drinking it, he'd have a restful sleep at night, no more endless dreams keeping him awake.
But ever since Natalie left, he hadn't tasted her coffee and often struggled with insomnia, Natalie knew coffee
and kept him in good health.
His gaze was dark and unreadable as he thought about what happened at the mall tonight, a strange agitation
rising within him. He actually forgot to give Natalie her living expenses.
Natalie was so compliant, never asking for anything. The only tshe'd argue was about him and Jennifer;
otherwise, she was the perfect wife and mother. She kept the house neat and tidy. But after Jennifer cback,
everything changed. She cared, so they argued. He was her limit, but he spent too much twith Jennifer, and
eventually, she left, disappointed.

During the day, he was browsing through videos and cacross a recommended that was very similar to
his current circumstances.
While he was thinking, his phone buzzed. Xavier sent over a voler message.
After he finished listening. Xavier, right on cue, sent him another voice note. "Mr. Garcia, look at your little
sweetheart that you spoiled growing up. You've spent billions on her, and she doesn't even know your favorite
food. That's so funny!" Hearing Xavier's mocking Laughter, Easton realized he was being teased. Feeling
exhausted, he rubbed his forehead, stood up, and poured himself a glass of water.
Easton had a sleepless night, and the next day, he looked not so great.
During the morning meeting, everyone in the conference room spoke carefully, scared that one wrong word
would get them kicked out.
When it was Isabelle's turn, she talked about the new winter collection. Seeing Isabelle reminded Easton of
Natalie.
Easton carefully listened to Isabelle's team's suggestions and said, "Isabelle, last year our winter collection
grossed 700 million dollars. Your designs are well-known. "This year, we've set a target of 800 million dollars. |
will do my best to meet your requests, but you need to achieve the targets."
Isabelle, full of confidence, smiled warmly. "Thank you, Mr. Garcia, | won't let
ou down. YOU
Easton didn't want to be let down either, especially now that the competitor had signed with the Chambers
Group.
With the collaboration on the Chambers Group's platform, Natalie's designs are decent, which indicates that
Carl's company is likely to exceed last year's earnings by half. "Meeting adjourned." He stood up straight and
walked out.
Feeling good, Isabelle watched Easton's tall figure and realized she was getting closer to him. She was thrilled,
confident that she could make Easton hold her in higher regard. Easton and Xavier went back to the office.
Jennifer had already arrived, wearing a pink dress with her long hair falling over her shoulders-the look Easton
liked the most. She was holding a thermal container, and when she saw Easton, her smile was sweet. "Hey
Easton, | cto see you. | made sbeef and potato pottage for you."
Xavier almost burst into laughter at her words-she was really trying her luck. He quietly slipped away, not

Jennifer cheerfully went to link arms with Easton. Easton subtly moved away without making it obvious.
Jennifer was taken aback and asked, feeling hurt, "Easton, how can you just ignorebecause of a few things
Natalie said?"
Jennifer would never miss a chance to put down Natalie. She saw the situation clearly and knew just how to play
on a man's heart. She knew how to compete with Natalie for Easton's attention.
It was a risky play, a gamble. If she won, she could live like a queen in the future. If she lost, she would only lose
Easton, but the outcwould still be what she wanted.
Easton lounged on the sofa, the soft glow from the lamp casting a relaxed and indifferent aura over him.
With his chin just barely resting on his hand, he asked casually, Jennifer, do you think it's really as simple as a
few words? Natalie is my wife, and I've given you the privileges meant for her. What else do you want, hmm?"
His voice rose enticingly 10:55 Wed, Nov 27

Jennifer snecret inwardly and thought, 'Of course I'm not satisfl. Everything you have now is his, why should you
get to have it all?
Jennifer said, "Easton, | never planned to compete with Natalie for anything. | just want you back by my side. You
were supposed to marry me," Jennifer muttered, lowering her head as tears silently fell. Easton's eyes.

He was slightly out of breath, "Mr. Garcia, this is bad. Zach's mom brought reporters and is causing trouble for
