Rebirth Of Vengeance

Chapter 52 Natalie felt frustrated. Easton still hadn't completed the final steps of their divorce.

She cursed him in her mind. He was the one who had wanted the divorce, yet he hadn't bothered to finalize it.

"There is one annoying iwe Natale sighed. "Even though we both signed the divorce agreement, Easton hasn't finished the final procedures. Legally. I'm still his wife." Valerie was furious. After a moment's thought, she suggested. You can file for divorce yourself. He was the one who cheated first, and on top of that, he's kept your marriage a secret from others. That's entirely has fault." "It's not like you have anything to hide. Why should you say married to a man who won't even admit he's married to you? Valerie puffed up her checks in anger, looking adorably fence.

Sering Valerie's car expression, Natalie fether sports litt "Dan't worry, he'll get the divorce.

Wendy had intended to talk about last night, but when she saw the transfer notification, her heart raced. "Natalie, I told you we're family. You're my daughter. Do you really think I'd ask you to payback for a year's worth of meals?" Her chest rose and fell in anger. She felt torn. She did want to love her biological daughter, but Natalie constantly caused trouble, especially with Jennifer.

Natalie even went so far as to undermine her relationship with Nick-something that hurt Wendy deeply. Sometimes she was mean to Natalie, but only because Natalie disappointed her too much.

"Well, I'm sorry," Natalie's tone was still careless. "One year, including room and board-$30,000 should be more than enough. From this moment on, I owe you nothing." "When you looked down on me, did you ever think about why I was switched at birth?" she continued. "If I'd grown up by your side, I would have been just as successful. But you never thought about that, so don't feel disappointed, because you don't deserve to!" "Oh, and even though you didn't raise me, I still becsomeone exceptional-someone far beyond your reach," Natalie added.

Wendy felt a pang in her chest as she looked into Natalie's cold gaze, her anger rising. "Natalie, you say I'm unfit to be a mother-do you think you're any better as a daughter? Why do you constantly cause trouble? Last night, you stole Jennifer's credit." "She and Easton grew up together, but you don't even share feelings with him. You two are divorced, so why are you still lingering around Easton, clinging to him?" Wendy demanded.

"Are you that obsessed with competing with Jennifer?" she shook her head. "If you had a shred of decency, you wouldn't act this way. Why are you always after what belongs to Jennifer?" A sharp pain stabbed at Natalie's heart; it turned out this was Wendy's real purpose today, to interrogate her. Without a word, Natalie pulled up Easton's number from her blocked contacts and dialed him.

"Natalie..." Easton's voice sounded surprised.

"Where are you?" she asked bluntly.

Easton was taken aback that she called. He thought perhaps Natalie amends, to cwas ready to make amends, back Hearing her icy tone, he replied, "I'm meeting a client at the club." Of course, she knew he preferred conducting his business here. "Cto Room 402," Natalie instructed before hanging up.

Wendy frowned. "Who did you call?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Natalie replied, her voice cold. "I've told you before: • won't let you bullySibalive told you anymore, nor will I let you falsely accuse me." She was determined to make Easton finalize the divorce. This time, she'd sever any connection with him for good.

Easton had just finished his meeting. Reminded of how he'd wronged m Natalie twice, he decided to give her a chance and see what she wanted.

As they sat in silence, Natalie lowered her gaze. Wendy grew increasingly uneasy, wondering if she had wronged Natalie yet again.
