Chapter 34\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rowan explained, \u201cOf course not. I can find a crude and vulgar woman like Natalie everywhere on the streets. Who would ever feel attached to her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie walked over to the custody papers and bent down to pick them up. Suddenly, a black leather shoe stepped squarely on top of the document.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She lifted her head and stared coldly at Rowan towering over her. Their eyes met, and there was nothing between them but hatred. There wasn\u2019t even the slightest trace of affection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sky was dark, and raindrops suddenly began to fall, splattering across Rowan\u2019s face. He didn\u2019t move the foot pressing on the papers. Instead, he glanced up at the sky as a mocking smile curled on his lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNatalie, do you see this?\u201d He gestured at the rain dropping down from above. \u201cEven the heavens are taking pity on you. Once you leave me, how do you think you\u2019ll survive the days ahead?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGo away!\u201d Sarah kicked Rowan hard in the leg. The strike from her tiny foot in her white pointed shoe was far from painless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rowan instinctively recoiled in pain, pulling his foot back. Natalie seized the chance to pick up the documents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou little brat!\u201d Scarlet shrieked. \u201cIs this what your mother teaches you? You have no respect for your elders at all. Biting me is one thing, but you even dare to kick your own father. Such a disrespectful child!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She raised her hand, about to strike Sarah. However, Natalie reacted swiftly, grabbing Scarlet\u2019s arm and shoving the old woman aside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom now on, Sarah has no father. She only has me, her mother,\u201d Natalie said and wrapped Sarah protectively in her arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Imogen could tell that Rowan was in a very bad mood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thinking about how Natalie had produced so much evidence today, most of which was likely connected to her, she wanted to smooth things over a little and ease his temper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cNatalie, it\u2019s not up to you if Sarah has a father or not. No matter where she is, the blood flowing in her veins is still Rowan\u2019s, and her last name is Payne.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter what you said today, don\u2019t even think about coming back in the future. Don\u2019t come kneeling in front of Rowan, crying and begging him to help you take care of Sarah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie said nothing. She pulled out the stack of evidence from her bag and flung it hard at Rowan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Rowan could even react, she threw another handful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Photos and spending records fluttered down like snowflakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A photo of Rowan and Imogen kissing flashed before his eyes. He quickly barked an order to the bodyguards beside him, \u201d Pick them up. Now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
If these photos were exposed, the greatest damage would be to the woman\u2019s reputation. Imogen instinctively crouched down, hurriedly gathering the scattered photos.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie took out the final piece of physical evidence from her bag. She tore open the seal of the transparent bag and dumped the lingerie straight over Imogen\u2019s head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Imogen was completely unprepared. Only when the dark objects blocked her vision did she grab them in shock.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNatalie\u2026\u201d Imogen suddenly stood up, grabbing Natalie\u2019s arm tightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She leaned in close and demanded coldly, \u201cYou planned all this, didn\u2019t you? You deliberately provoked me and made Rowan buy me such expensive jewelry. And all this evidence\u2026 you\u2019ve used me from the very beginning, haven\u2019t you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Natalie shoved Imogen away and sneered. \u201cSo you\u2019re not stupid after all. Isn\u2019t this exactly what you wanted? I was just granting your wish.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Imogen wanted to say more, but with Rowan still there, she swallowed her words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the intersection, two traffic police officers were still on patrol. Natalie stood there with Sarah, waiting for a cab.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even if Imogen wanted to have the bodyguards teach Natalie a lesson, she couldn\u2019t. All she could do was stomp her feet in frustration, swallowing her anger in silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNatalie, you\u2019ll regret the decision you made today!\u201d Rowan shouted, staring at her retreating figure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He roared in fury, \u201cI haven\u2019t even thrown you out yet, and you took it upon yourself to force a divorce on me! I want to see how long a spineless woman like you can last out there!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, Rowan,\u201d Scarlet said with a twisted smile. \u201cNatalie will come crawling back very soon. She\u2019ll kneel in front of you, apologizing and admitting her mistakes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
