Chapter 199
Jennifer shook her head. “No way. I won’t be criticized by everyone online”
Her recent words and actions flooded her mind. Her lips turned pale, and her whole body trembled, with fear clearly showing in her eyes.
Jennifer said in her heart, ‘Natalie, you son of bitch. How dare you set up a live stream to expose me?
“Hmph. Luna, do you know what I’m best at?” Jennifer endured the severe pain, slowly sat up, grabbed onto the wall to stand, still feeling deep pain inside.
Luna sneered, “You’ve got quite the talents, such as drugging people secretly, photoshopping pictures to plot against Natalie. Ah, there’s one more thing.” Luna paused for effect and then said extremely sarcastically, “Seducing men.”
She added, “Besides, the reason Natalie is against you is simple. That’s because she’s got a lot of dirt on you. If you ever expose her online, she’ll turn the tables.
“Today’s experience could make your life a nightmare. Your movie is a flop unless Mr. Wayne steps in to save you. But even with his support, you’d have to sacrifice yourself. I know you’ll do it to protect your fame. You can start bustling now.
“If you wait too long, you’ll miss your chance. Strike while the iron’s hot.”
“Ah!” Jennifer screamed in despair upon hearing Luna’s words.
Jennifer was never a fragile person.
At this moment, her mind went blank, with a buzzing noise filled her brain like a swarm of mosquitoes, gnawing at her soul and making her anxious. Her perfect innocent persona was ruined by Natalie.
Seeing Jennifer in such agony, Luna felt immensely satisfied. She said, “Jennifer, Natalie said she will strip away your mask step by step until you end up in hell.”
After saying that, Luna walked into the office.
By that time, Jennifer’s assistant had hurried over.
Her assistant was anxious. “Ms. Simpson, there’s bad news. Mr. Garcia is really upset about what happened in the live stream. He has pulled his investment, and there’s no news from Mr. Wayne for now.”
Jennifer almost lost her balance.
She couldn’t believe Easton had pulled the investment. She couldn’t believe the man who treated her like a treasure was the first to betray her.
Jennifer closed her eyes. When she opened them, they were clear as water. “Let’s go to meet Easton.”
Natalie was still on her way to Zoe. Natalie watched the entire live stream and just laughed.
She thought, ‘Dealing with Jennifer’s self–destructive behavior isn’t that difficult, honestly.
Natalie happily trummed a tune as she drove to Grandise.
Even Vance viewed the live stream. He was stunned by Jennifer’s nasty behavior for a moment.
He finally knew that Jennifer’s driving Natalie away was on purpose.
Vance just kept staring at his phone screen, unable to coming back his senses. Finally, tears fell from his eyes. It hit him that

Jennifer wanted Natalie to have nothing and never recover.
If it weren’t for what happened with Nick, Vance wouldn’t have noticed anything.
In that moment, Vance felt Natalie’s helplessness and Jennifer’s malice. He finally realized that Jennifer was that despicable in places they couldn’t see.
Vance felt dizzy and his hand holding the phone weak.
Jennifer’s words made him feel guilty towards Natalie.
Wendy watched the live stream too. She was crying and laughing. She thought, ‘Natalic is starting to fight back. That’s my brave daughter.’
Wendy had become quite haggard during this period. But seeing Natalie start to fight back, she felt truly happy.
Everyone was criticizing Jennifer online, while Natalie had reached Grandise by then.
Zoe had been waiting for Natalie at the dock, wearing a pink maternity dress, with her hair in a high ponytail, looking gentle and lively.
Natalie drove her car off the ship and immediately saw Zoe.
Natalie asked, “Zoe, why did you come yourself?”
Zoe got in the car and said, “I was waiting for you. I happened to come over to buy seafood. The crabs here are very tasty. I bought some to cook for you.
“They are huge. We’ll need a hammer to crack them open, and I bought one too.”
Zoe put everything away and fastened her seat belt.
Natalie smiled and drove back.
Zoe was surprised. “Natalie, I saw you stand up for yourself. Jennifer’s evil face got shown to hundreds of thousands of people. Natalie, we were so weak. No. I should say we were too kind, only loudly talking back when we were bullied. “When people throw dirt at us, there’s no purity left. Fighting back is the best proof we have.”
Natalie chuckled, “Zoe, I’ll rip off her disguise and send her straight to hell.”
A strong aura of hostility emanated from Natalie.
Zoe knew that among her friends, Natalie had endured the most grievances. Natalie was kind–hearted and didn’t want things to be too awkward, so she chose to tolerate it before.
However, the Simpson family just didn’t listen to reason. Natalie’s tolerating only brought more bullying,
Since the Simpson family couldn’t be reasoned with, Natalie’s mother insisted on moving. She had better judgment than Natalie did.
Sometimes Natalie wondered if growing up had to come with such a painful cost.
Natalie said, “Jennifer wants to be a famous star, so she will hold onto Mr. Wayne tightly. Mr. Wayne stood by her last time. I think he will do it again.”
Zoe was confused. “Why?”
Natalie shook her head. “I don’t know. I just have this kind of feeling. We’ll hear the news tomorrow.”

Chapter 199
Colin’s support for Jennifer night make a backfire, but regardless of any scandal thrown at her, Natalie would handle it.
In this life, she wouldn’t let Jennifer grow unchecked.
Natalie said, “Zoe, my current designs are for a high–end luxury brand in the country. Some are sold online through livestreaming. I’ve teamed up with Tiana. Since I’m free today, I come spend a few days with you.”
While she was free, Natalie also wanted to leave Jennifer some time to keep her run around. Just thinking about this made Natalie very happy.
“Great,” Zoe said happily. “I’m going to deliver the baby soon, and my Mom won’t arrive until a few days later.”
Zoe continued, “The temperature on the island is just right for now. It won’t be too cold during my postpartum period.”
She continued, “After my recovery, it will start snowing here. That’s when I plan to move back to the city, just in time to resign from my current job here.
“After the baby turns one year old, I’ll have my Mom take care of him or her while I work with my Dad managing the company.” Zoe planned her future thoughtfully.
Natalie thought her idea was great. She said, “Zoe, life is too short. We should live the way we want to.”
Zoe said, “Yeah. I’m just doing so, and having a baby makes my life even more fulfilling. As a woman, we must be a mother at least once. Everything else is optional.”
“We don’t even need men. We can be happier on our own.” Zoe grinned brightly.
Natalie suddenly remembered the child she lost in her past life, and her heart ached with sharp pains.
