In the end, Natalie sat opposite Austin, and the atmosphere... was quiet!
Yet, it exuded an intangible sense of oppression.
Looking at Austin's cold and piercing gaze, Natalie asked, "Lord Austin, what do you want?"
Previously, when he persistently demanded cash, she already sensed that something was amiss...!
Before she returned to Simeria, everyone who conveyed information to her hinted that Simeria was not
a simple place. Even her marriage to Irwin happened because of the things happening in Simeria.
But she never expected this confrontation to come so quickly!
"Ms. Jarvis, you're a smart person. What do you think I want?"
"At this moment, I can't provide whatever you want, Lord Austin!"
Like all members of the Jarvis family, Natalie was straightforward in her refusal when facing such a
situation.
As she finished speaking, the man across from her looked at her, and his lips curled into a smile.
That smile... was cold and dangerous.
Natalie's heart was already in her throat, but her face remained calm!
"I know what your marriage with Mr. Frazier is all about!"
He knew?
Even if he did, so what?
"Regardless of what it's about, I am currently married to him." Natalie's tone tightened.
There was a stern glint in her eyes, as if reminding Austin of the situation.
"Pfft...!" The man laughed sarcastically!
Natalie's already troubled expression grew colder at Austin's mockery.
"Do you know why the Jarvis family has never had any cooperation or contact with the Entes family all
these years in Simeria?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDid she know?
No, she didn't!
She only knew that regardless of what had happened in Simeria over the years, Stephen had always
avoided the Entes family.
To put it bluntly, no matter what happened, Stephen's first move was always to avoid everything.
And no matter what happened over the years in Simeria, the Entes family always kept themselves out
of it!
Austin's gaze grew even deeper, and at this moment, that depth exerted pressure on Natalie.
Natalie took several deep breaths but couldn't suppress the heaviness in her chest.
The two locked eyes and neither said anything more. Just as Natalie thought Austin would tell her the
reason, the man changed the topic.
He said, "Divorce Irwin."
Natalie fell silent. At his words, her mind went blank! Natalie's hands clenched into fists at the man's
commanding tone, and she felt a bit anxious.
At this moment, even looking at Austin was somewhat dangerous.
From this exchange, Natalie could see what the situation was like for the Entes family now.
She thought she was utterly uninvolved with them, but she was wrong!
While the Jarvis family appeared to be detached from the situation at the moment, it wasn't as simple
as it seemed.
"Lord Austin, you shouldn't go too far!" Natalie said tersely.
Austin's gaze became sharper after she finished speaking, as if it could pierce through one's heart!
Natalie had never seen such a gaze before. She had never seen someone at such a young age
possess such depth and sharpness. It showed how formidable the Entes family truly was.
And he...!
It wasn't just his eyes. His whole demeanor was profound. Otherwise, how could he have been
perceived as a fool by everyone for these years?
The ups and downs of the Entes family over the years were not just limited to a few individuals. Those
who remained standing now were extraordinarily capable!
Now, Natalie realized that pretending to be foolish might also be a skill.
Suddenly, he handed her a file.
"You..."
"Take this and give it to your father!"
"What is this?" Natalie asked.
"After your father reads it, he'll know whether you should divorce Irwin or not!"
Natalie fell silent, and she felt suffocated! It didn't matter how her marriage with Irwin came about. At
this moment, she felt this man was terrifying.
How could he...?
At this moment, Natalie's gaze towards Austin was sharp. "Do they all know?"
Yes! After all these years of being perceived as a fool, did the remaining members of the Entes family
know?
"I advise you to see what your father has to say first, hmm?" The man's tone was calm, yet it exuded
endless danger.
In the end, Natalie somehow made her way out of Orchid Bay. On the way back, Natalie's chest
tightened even more as she watched the scenery outside rapidly grow further from them.
It was chaos!
Simeria already gave off a sense of chaos, especially after Robert had passed away. Everything
seemed on the brink of eruption.
At such a critical moment, Stephen still firmly remained independent and didn't have the intention to get
involved. But after meeting Austin today, Natalie had a strong feeling that things weren't as
straightforward as they seemed!

In any environment, it's not just about what one wanted, but what one could actually achieve!
Watching Lawrence about to drive the car towards the studio, Natalie thought for a moment and said,
"Let's head straight home."
Undoubtedly, after the encounter with Austin, Natalie had no intention of going to work anymore. It was
clear she wanted to see Stephen as soon as possible.
Anyway, Clyde was at the company. So, that meant Stephen was often at home.
Lawrence glanced at her with concern and handed her a bottle of water.
"Thanks," Natalie said. She took the water and drank half the bottle, feeling slightly relieved.
Back at Lotus Villa, Natalie saw Heather with Luna. Luna had grown a lot, especially under Heather's
careful attention.
Luna looked healthier than ever these days.
When Luna saw Natalie, she ran towards her with her short legs. "Mommy!"
Natalie lifted Luna and held her in her arms. At that moment, the soft body easily calmed her restless
heart.
Heather approached Natalie and said, "You don't look too good. Is something wrong?"
Natalie shook her head. "It's nothing!"
The family had long been accustomed to not letting Heather know about anything that happened
outside, regardless of what it was.
It wasn't just Stephen. Even Natalie and Clyde were like this towards her. Subconsciously, they were
extremely protective towards Heather.
"Where's Dad?"
"He's in the study. He took a call earlier. He didn't look too happy when he went in. He hasn't come out
since."
"Okay, I'll go see him."
