Chapter 300
Easton glanced at Xavier, who was sitting in the front seat, and asked, “Xavier, did you find any villas nearby as I asked?”
Xavier shook his head. “Mr. Garcia, I’ve already looked through all the villas in the area. None of them are suitable. The layouts are excellent, but there are very few vacancies, and none are listed for sale.”
Villas in this neighborhood were in high demand. Most of the residents were from prominent families, making it nearly impossible to find an available property.
Easton frowned. Money could solve almost anything. “Keep looking. Contact a reliable agent and see if anyone would be willing to sell for a high price.”
After a brief hesitation, Xavier voiced his thoughts. “Mr. Garcia, the issue between you and Ms. Shawn isn’t about where y live. It’s about the things you’ve done in the past. You’ve hurt her deeply.
“If you really want her back, maybe you should focus on treating her well instead. Ms. Shawn loves you. If you put in the effort, she might forgive you.”
Easton’s frown deepened. He had no patience for such pointless remarks.
The villa they lived in during their marriage had indeed been decorated to suit Jennifer’s preferences.
It wasn’t just Natalie who didn’t want to return there. Easton himself couldn’t bear the thought of it
The memory of Jennifer being involved with thugs disgusted him.
Thankfully, he had never slept with Jennifer. The most they had shared was her leaning against his chest.
Now, seeing Natalie with Murray and Maurice brought back echoes of the pain and fury Natalie must have felt watching hi and Jennifer together. That kind of anguish was hard to endure.
Easton closed his eyes, memories of their time together rushing over him like a tidal wave.
Natalie had always cared for his bad stomach, constantly finding ways to help him feel better. No matter how late he came home, she would have a late–night meal prepared for him.
Now that she had been gone for almost a year, Easton found himself increasingly out of sorts. His stomach issues flared up more often, and there was no one by his side to care for him anymore.
He used to feel annoyed by her constant fussing, thinking she was only good for doing those little, trivial things. Now, he realized those small gestures were irreplaceable, things no one else would ever do for him.
“Let’s head to the office,” Easton said quietly.
“Understood, Mr. Garcia Xavier smiled and started the car.
Easton hadn’t been home in a long time. Lately, he ate and slept the office.
The company had practically become his home.
Xavier drove to the office.
Jennifer returned home to find her father had fainted again.
Worried, she turned to her grandmother. “Grandma, what happened to Dad? Why did he faint again!”

Jennifer was puzzled. Her father’s health had been deteriorating recently.
Sasha glanced at Jennifer, then turned her frustration toward Declan, who was standing nearby.
“Declan, it’s all because of your mother. Jennifer only took 70 million dollars from her! She’s so wealthy. Does she really need that 70 million dollars?” she roared.
Sasha’s voice grew louder as she recounted the situation. “Today, when we got home, your parents argued about it again.
“Your mother claimed the company was running low on funds and demanded that the 70 million dollars be returned. They had a huge fight, and it upset your father so much he fainted.”
Declan’s brow furrowed as he looked at Sasha.
Sasha knew the truth, yet she still spoke in this way. In the past, he might have taken her side and blamed his mother, thinking there was nothing wrong with giving Jennifer 70 million dollars.
But now, with a different perspective, Declan saw right through Sasha’s manipulative words.
“Grandma, your story is quite something. My mom’s company is on the brink of collapse. Do you even understand what 70 million dollars means to a struggling company?
“If you don’t, then stop spouting nonsense. Blaming me isn’t going to fix anything. If you’re so tough and capable, why don’t you go save the company yourself?”
“You… you… Do you even know what you’re saying? I’m your grandmother, loser! How dare you talk to me like that?” Sasha’s face turned pale with rage.
In the past, Declan wouldn’t have dared to speak to her this way. He’d always treated her with the utmost respect. Jason is so much better, filial, capable, and sharp, Sasha thought to herself.
Declan let out a cold laugh, his gaze icy as he stared at Sasha “Laser? Grandma, I’m your grandson too. How can you call me
a loser?”
Maybe it was because Jennifer and Nick were on the verge of success, and Sasha couldn’t even be bothered to pretend
anymore.
Sasha froze for a moment before quickly softening her tone and putting on a kinder face. “Declan, I misspoke because I’m so worried about your father.
“Don’t hold it against me. I don’t know anything about these things. Isn’t your mother supposed to be unstoppable in the business world?”
“Everyone praises her for her business acumen, but my son… he acting like a loser. Do you think I’m not heartbroken?” Sasha wiped her eyes theatrically, though internally she cursed herself for being too hasty.
Once Wendy’s wealth crumbled, Sasha planned to teach her a good lesson.
“Wendy’s words are unbearably sharp. She nearly made me lose my mind today, Sasha fumed inwardly
Declan sneered but kept his thoughts to himself. “Nick is the real freeloader here, a loser living off others he wondered
It wasn’t the right time to voice this out loud, though.
Feigning anger, Declan turned and stomped out of the room, heavy footsteps echoing down the hall.
Once outside, he carefully doubled back, sneaking quietly to listen in

Inside, Jennifer’s hushed voice reached him. “Grandma, what’s really going on with Dad?”
Sasha hesitated, her furrowed brow showing her discomfort. “Your dad seems to be having issues with… his sex performance.
“Lately, he’s been taking medication before visiting your mother at night. The doctor said he’s overdoing it. His body can’t handle it, especially with his three highs. That’s why he fainted
His three highs had been acting up frequently.
The doctor had warned that without proper control, his condition could turn fatal.
The thought had genuinely frightened Sasha. Nick was her only leverage. He was the one who had elevated the Simpson family’s status to that of millionaires after marrying Wendy.
If something happened to him, Sasha feared she’d become a laughingstock, forced to live out the rest of her days in misery. The very thought filled her with despair.”
Jennifer stared at her father’s pale face, stunned. “He… actually. She couldn’t even finish her sentence.
“Has Wendy been causing trouble again?” she asked.
“No,” Sasha replied. “What I said earlier was just for Declan’s ears I heard Wendy’s company suffered another withdrawal of investment and is on the verge of collapse.
“I told your father to sell off his shares quickly. If Wendy ends up drowning in debt, it’ll be the perfect time for your father to divorce her.”
“Your mother call him to demand that you return the 70 million dollars. She claimed the company couldn’t hold on much longer. But that’s 70 million dollars! Now that it’s in your hands, are you supposed to give it back to her?”
Sasha’s greed was palpable. To her, 70 million dollars was an enormous sum. If Wendy’s company was destined to fail, why waste the money trying to save it? It would be better used to secure her own future.
“Grandma, don’t worry about it. I’ll handle this,” Jennifer said confidently, “You just focus on taking care of my dad. As for the divorce, I’ll acquire Wendy’s company first. Once that’s done, we can force her out of the picture.”
Jennifer was determined to let her mother stand proudly beside her father. She believed her mother had suffered too much over the years.
“Wendy and her family owe my mother so much. If Wendy hadn’t stolen my dad, how could she have lived such a happy life all these years?” Jennifer’s voice shook with anger.
She knew Wendy was getting desperate, which was why she had volved Nick in the matter.
Outside the door, Declan clenched his fists as he listened, barely able to contain his fury.
Jennifer’s audacity left him utterly speechless. Today, he had truly witnessed the depths of her shamelessness.
Inside, Sasha suddenly gasped. “Jennifer, are you planning to acquire Wendy’s company?”
