Chapter 85\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie shut the door behind her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The study was dimly lit, with only a desk lamp casting light over Jeffrey\u2019s side profile, emphasizing the sharp, cold lines of his face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie stood across from him, waiting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey casually tossed two sealed bags at her. They hit her before falling to the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked down. One contained a teacup while the other held a test report. She didn\u2019t pick them up, but she already knew what they meant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you find out what the drug in the tea was?\u201d Natalie asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you know what drug you used?\u201d Jeffrey shot back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She lifted her eyes, meeting his gaze. She replied, \u201cYou can accuse me all you want.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had already made up his mind that she was the culprit, and nothing she said would change that. Proving her innocence was impossible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey said, \u201cYou hate Abigail, and I understand that. But you can\u2019t harm her. She hasn\u2019t done anything wrong.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie didn\u2019t respond. There was nothing to say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNatalie, you\u2019re in your situation today because of me, yes, but part of the fault also lies with you. You can come at me all you want for our issues.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did he just tell her to go up against him? How ridiculous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
o\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie looked at him mockingly. \u201cJeffrey, I\u2019ve already agreed to the divorce, and I\u2019m walking away with nothing. I was even willing to help convince your family to accept Abigail. What more do you want from me? Should I be the one to marry you and Abigail?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cI don\u2019t have any intention of targeting you and Abigail. I do hope both of you will stay together forever. Let me make this clear\u2013it\u2019s you and Abigail who are causing trouble for me! Both of you are ganging up on me and won\u2019t leave me alone!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
For Caroline\u2019s sake, Jeffrey forced her to act like they were still the perfect couple. Natalie had only agreed so that it wouldn\u2019t affect Caroline\u2019s health.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Abigail was constantly looking for ways to provoke her. She was always finding ways to insult Natalie while flaunting her affection for Jeffrey and rubbing her superiority in Natalie\u2019s face.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What had Natalie done to deserve this torment?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey\u2019s expression remained cold. \u201cYou poisoned Abigail\u2019s drink and made her mute, yet you still have the nerve to justify yourself?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you, it wasn\u2019t me!\u201d Natalie snapped back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen prove it,\u201d he demanded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie bit down hard on her lip, tasting blood, but she didn\u2019t care. It didn\u2019t matter what she said. He wouldn\u2019t believe her anyway. So, she decided to stay silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her expression hardened, radiating defiance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey slowly stood up, placing his hands on the desk as his body towered over her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNatalie, what I hate most about you is this look on your face. Just looking at you annoys me!\u201d he said, his eyes glinting with irritation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Unable to hold back, Natalie shot back, \u201cYou think I want to look at you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were the one who insisted on marrying me. Look where we are now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I\u2019ve been through five years of hell, so I\u2019ve paid for the mistakes I made when I was younger, haven\u2019t I?\u201d Natalie retorted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cJeffrey, you\u2019re not all that great. I\u2019m not that desperate for you that I can\u2019t even bear to leave you. If you want, we can go to the Foster residence right now and tell everyone that we\u2019re divorcing!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey narrowed his eyes, clearly annoyed. \u201cI also hate your sharp tongue, Natalie.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo woman is born a shrew, Jeffrey. It takes an asshole like you, who treats women like crap, to push a woman to the breaking point!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you just insult me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am insulting you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a flash, Jeffrey grabbed the nearest file and hurled it at Natalie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie instinctively turned her head to avoid it, but the file still hit her. Its sharp corner grazed her collarbone and left a small cut on it. Blood started to trickle down slowly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
