Chapter 87\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martha was still somewhat skeptical. \u201cReally, Mrs. Foster?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, everything\u2019s fine,\u201d Natalie replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright. If anything comes up, make sure you let me know right away,\u201d Martha responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only then did Martha leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey, however, still had his hand around Natalie\u2019s neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
T\u00a0<\/p>\n
What he hadn\u2019t expected was that the reason Natalie was so cooperative in fooling Martha wasn\u2019t out of concern for Caroline\u2019s health but because she was worried about the divorce not going through. Had her years of love for him vanished just like that? Why?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, Jeffrey\u2019s mind flashed with Johnson\u2019s face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ah, he almost forgot. Natalie had moved on with a new man.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the day they filed for divorce, Johnson was waiting for her outside the courthouse. When she wanted to take over Stephen\u2019s business, Johnson was the one who helped her with his connections. Later, when she wanted to set up the art gallery, Johnson was by her side, supporting her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With a wonderful new man like that, why would she still care about him, her ex\u2013husband? A storm of jealousy surged in Jeffrey\u2019s chest. Then, he stopped himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jealousy? Why would he be jealous? No, it was anger, frustration, and contempt. Natalie\u2019s words about loving him were just cheap talk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Feeling the intensity of Jeffrey\u2019s gaze on her, Natalie suddenly felt a cold chill run down her back. She couldn\u2019t stand to look into those eyes for too long.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet go,\u201d she said, raising her hand and placing her slender fingers around his wrist. She added, \u201cOr are you planning to strangle me to get revenge for Abigail?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey remained expressionless as he slightly loosened his grip. \u201cGo apologize to her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His fingers tightened again. \u201cDon\u2019t let me repeat myself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie held firm. \u201cI\u2019m not apologizing for something I didn\u2019t do! No matter how much you threaten me, I won\u2019t give in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she apologized, it would mean admitting she had poisoned Abigail\u2019s drink. She wasn\u2019t going\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 87\u00a0<\/p>\n
to take the blame for that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two of them were at a stalemate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey adjusted his glasses and stepped closer to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even through the frame of his glasses, Natalie could feel the intense pressure of his\u00a0<\/p>\n
gaze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He slowly and deliberately said, \u201cDo you believe me when I say I\u2019ll ensure that your art gallery won\u2019t open for business tomorrow? Hm?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie\u2019s eyes widened in shock. \u201cJeffrey! You\u2019re an asshole!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With his power and influence in Caspia City, it would be easy for him to ruin her gallery. She was just starting out, so she was nowhere near strong enough to fight back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey smirked, his lips curling into a cold smile. \u201cYes, but it\u2019s very effective.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She swung her hand, aiming for his face, but before her hand could make contact, he caught her wrist. The pressure on her bones made her wince.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Grinding her teeth, she asked, \u201cIf I apologize and Abigail still tries to make things difficult for me, what then?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s not like that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie inwardly rolled her eyes. In his mind, Abigail was always pure and flawless, wasn\u2019t she? Men were so easy to deceive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But out loud, Natalie asked, \u201cSo if I go to Abigail and apologize, everything will be fine, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She smiled. \u201cAre you sure?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey released her wrist, his arm falling to his side. His muscles tensed up as he said, \u201cI don\u2019t have time to waste on telling lies.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFine. I\u2019ll apologize,\u201d Natalie agreed without hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her sudden change in attitude caught Jeffrey\u2019s attention, making him study her closely. It was clear that using her gallery as blackmail was the most effective way to get to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But for some reason, Jeffrey couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that there was a sly look in her eyes. Was she plotting something?\u00a0<\/p>\n
