Eric said, “Ms. Shawn asked me not to share any information about her at that time. She mentioned she had a very important person to care for and was not accepting any company offers for now.
“I’ve always admired her talent. This was just a small request that I could manage, but there was a twist back then. Ms. Shawn was using a pseudonym instead of her real name.
“Only a handful of people were aware of it–just her tutor and myself. When you contacted me at that time, I didn’t realize who you were talking about.”
Easton furrowed his brows.
He didn’t believe Eric’s explanation.
Eric chuckled as he continued, “Mr. Garcia, it wasn’t until recently that I realized the most outstanding student back then was Natalie.
“It was because her work resurfaced that I learned the truth.”
Easton’s expression finally became better.
“Thank you, Mr. Jensen,” said Easton.
Then he hung up the phone, feeling conflicted. Back in the day, Natalie said she had to take care of a very important person.
Easton was involved in the car accident.
Easton survived a massive fire, only to later face a catastrophic car crash that nearly left him disabled.
Natalie busied herself, taking care of Easton for two years, while Jennifer did nothing for him, yet got 1.5 million dollars a month as pocket money.
Easton wondered, ‘How could I overlook Natalie’s genuine care for me over those two years?
‘How could I believe it was Jennifer who saved me?
‘I gave Natalie a really hard time and kept humiliating her.
www
That fire was suspicious. Jennifer was nearby when it happened. Easton wondered why Jennifer and Nick insisted it was Jennifer who saved him.
At that time, Natalie hadn’t returned to the Simpson family yet.
Thinking from a different perspective, Easton realized it seemed Nick always knew about Natalie’s identity.
But later, why was Natalie suddenly brought back?
It seemed there was also a secret in the Simpson family that Easton was unaware of.
What could it be?‘ Easton wondered.
Easton frowned, his eyes turning cold. He never thought there would be a day when he would be fooled by a scheming
woman.
The people backing Jennifer were indeed formidable, leaving no room for error.
Easton stood by the window, his bright eyes catching the distant light and shimmering with a watery glow.

He lowered his gaze, his thick lashes hiding all expressions behind them. His high nose and tightly pressed lips showed he was deep in thought.
In the room on the second floor, Natalie performed acupuncture on Anne. After placing all the needles, Natalie whispered, “Grandma, I have something to tell you. Don’t be too surprised.
Anne chuckled and assured Natalic, “At my age, I’ve weathered many ups and downs. I can handle anything. Go ahead.”
Natalie took out her phone and played a recording for Annie.
After listening to the recording, Anne appeared shocked.
Then she sneered, “Natalie, do you see? Not all sincere efforts are rewarded. Amy has worked for me for many years, and I’ve provided her with numerous benefits that have enabled her to send both her children to college.
“If she worked for any other family, she wouldn’t earn as much. I empathize with her and her husband, who have two kids in college, so I’ve always helped them out whenever I could.
“Her husband works as a driver for another family. She’s always been well–treated here, and whenever she faced trouble, I was the first to assist her. And this is the gratitude I receive in return?
“Jennifer’s doing this all to get close to Easton, but as long as I’m alive, I won’t let her enter this family.”
Though Anne couldn’t move, she was visibly upset.
Since Amy didn’t feel grateful for what Anne had done for her, Anne wouldn’t show her mercy.
Anne looked sorrowfully at Natalie and said, “That’s why I support your divorce from Easton, Natalie. He doesn’t understand love, nor did he ever learn to truly care for you.
“In his world, he thinks loving someone means putting everything good in front of her, but love isn’t like that. Love is about making each other happy.
“I’ve been married to your grandpa for many years, and I never expected love from him. He’s been a lifelong playboy, and his mistresses never had the audacity to provoke me.
“But the son he raised turned out to be even more flirtatious, causing Charlotte a lifetime of suffering.
“Reflecting on these things breaks my heart, but one person’s power is limited. We can’t change others, so we must try to make ourselves a little happier.
“Silly girl, I just want you to be happier.”
Anne’s voice was choked with emotion, and Natalie’s eyes turned tearful.
She said, “Grandma, I’ll live happily from now on. I’ve done what I needed to do, and I owe Easton nothing.
“I told you this so you could keep an eye on Jennifer. To marry Easton, you are her biggest obstacle. I’m just afraid…”
Anne said, “I know about those dirty tricks. Leave it to me. I’ve been through it before and understand what you mean. Just focus on your career.
A sharp glint flashed in Anne’s eyes.
Back in the day, Anne fought her way through schemes and plots.
She would take her time to handle those against her.

Half an hour later, Natalie withdrew the needles, and Anne had fallen asleep peacefully.
Natalie stayed by her side,
After hearing Amy’s words last night, Natalie was very worried about Anne’s situation.
