Nick looked at Wendy's serious expression, and a wave of panic swept over him. He thought Wendy might be influenced by Natalie. "Mom, can you stop being unreasonable?

"I really can't give you the shares. I know you have your ways to keep the company safe," Others might not know Wendy's abilities, but he sure did. She had been involved in the business world's fierce competition since she was eighteen.

She was trained to become a strong businesswoman by his grandfather. She had been a powerhouse in the business world, securing the Simpson family a place in the bustling city. This gave him the opportunity to become the heir of the Simpson family. Wendy gazed at him intently.

Jason slightly furrowed his brows, looking at Wendy's deep expression, unsure of what was on her mind. He suddenly felt nervous, like he couldn't catch his breath.

Even though it was a cool autumn day, it felt like the depths of winter, and a thin layer of sweat covered his back. "Mom, why are you looking at me like that?"

Wendy chuckled, feeling disappointed and heartbroken, her voice turning noticeably hoarse. "Yes, I'm being unreasonable, but your actions and behavior have made me feel cold inside. I just wanted to test if you're genuinely good to Jennifer. If you truly care for her, then I can rest easy."

Wendy knew when it came to herself, Jason might not be that nice. Jennifer sure knew how to put on a show. She cried, made a fuss, and threw tantrums, leaving Jason completely baffled.

Jason was speechless. He forced an awkward smile, "Mom, that's not a funny joke."

Wendy patted his shoulder again. "Jason, it's really not funny. Don't neglect the bond you have with your sister. Cherish her. She's the little princess of our family.

"Just pretend you didn't hear what I said earlier. I also can't believe your dad would do such a thing to us. Alright, I'm heading to the office. You should get busy with your own work too."

Jason still felt uneasy. Wendy had been acting strange lately. "Mom, are you okay?"

"No worries, I was just testing you. Hearing how you defend your dad and Jennifer, I'm relieved. I don't believe what's on that recording either," answered Wendy.

Wendy thought, 'Yeah, after living together for over twenty years and watching him smile every day, it's hard to believe he could be scheming behind my back, secretly poisoning me. It's really terrifying. Sadly, even with evidence right in front of you, you still don't believe it.'

"Mom, is it Natalie? Did she give you the recording?" Jason knew Natalie still wanted to return to the Simpson family. She couldn't stop thinking about Easton. Over the years, she almost wished she could split herself in two to always be with him.

Wendy exclaimed sternly, "Jason, stop blaming everything on Natalie. Do you know why you never move forward? It's because you don't listen to others and only trust your own perspective.

"Even if everything around you goes wrong, you stubbornly believe what you see and never think deeper. You're just too trusting. Just pretend you didn't hear what was said earlier, and don't tell Jennifer or she'll get upset and might do something drastic. Also, let's congratulate Zoe. It's really good she left. Marrying someone as clueless as you would have ruined her life."

Jason thought, I won't tell Jennifer about this. Or she'll actually do something drastic. But if it's not Natalie, who could it be? And what did Mom mean by her last words?

'What does Zoe leaving have to do with me? I don't even like her She's such a bookworm, wasting time studying. Jasmine is much better. She's carefree and indulgent, doing whatever she wants and living freely.'

Wendy left, tears streaming down her face as she walked away. She had tried to reason with Jason and to tell him the truth, but he wouldn't listen. Regarding the shares, she would have to think of another plan. The company couldn't fall into the hands of Nick and Jennifer.

The autumn breeze was cool, but Wendy found it refreshing. She looked at the bustling city, reflecting on how her brief moments of brilliance were overshadowed by a lifetime of confusion.

"Natalie, I will avenge you. Nick isn't fit to be your father. Easton isn't worthy of you either," She whispered softly, tears glistening at the corners of her eyes. She tilted her head back, and her face still showed a confident and charming smile.

Natalie spent the morning watching the news and planning the development trends for the next two years. She suddenly realized Easton's talent. He had a sharp eye for every project. It was no wonder he'd been rising so quickly. Maurice was equally formidable. Both men had a remarkable talent for business.

Jennifer was also a force to be reckoned with. In the future, she would use Easton's connections to establish herself as his business equal.

The first man to give Jennifer a taste of success was Murray. Now, Murray and Jennifer had had a falling out. Jennifer would soon look for a new target, Colin.

Natalie also recalled his ultimate fate. At that time, she was still alive and had heard some rumors. Deep in thought, she received a call from Maurice inviting her to lunch.

She had just agreed when she got a call from Emma. "Hello, Mrs. Spencer," Natalie's voice was elegant and calm.

"Natalie, something happened to Murray," Emma sounded very worried.

"Mrs. Spencer, please don't worry. Take your time and tell me what happened."

Emma was anxious. "Natalie, how can I not be worried? Last night, Murray, representing the branch company as acting CEO, went to the bar for business and was set up." Natalie frowned. "Set up? What happened?"

Emma whispered, "It's about drugs, you know. I looked into it, and the bar is owned by Easton. In just a month, secrets of our company were leaked, and we lost three deals. Natalie, you were right, Jennifer is really clever."

Natalie was grateful that Emma always believed in her. "Mrs. Spencer, I can only remind you to be careful of her. She hides in the shadows, and I still haven't found out which company she's associated with," Because next in line was the Wayne family. Emma's voice turned icy. "There might be more than one company involved. The ones who took over our deals were from three different companies. I checked, and none of them had Jennifer as the person in charge."

Natalie walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside, her eyes distant. Jennifer would never let Easton find out about the companies she started.

By the time Easton found out, Jennifer would have been very successful, and he wouldn't suspect anything. In fact, he'd probably admire Jennifer's abilities.

"Natalie, since you know Easton, could you help Murray? He can't afford to have a criminal record, as he's supposed to inherit the company in the future." SEND GIFT

At this point, Emma fell silent, realizing what Jennifer was planning. It was all to give Murray a criminal record, stopping him from inheriting the company. Natalie also realized it. "Mrs. Spencer, which branch is Murray at
