Annabelle maintained her smile as Natalie approached. However, the jealousy in her heart grew like wild, unchecked grass. It kept spreading uncontrollably, taking over her emotions.
Jeremy had been indifferent toward her, while Natalie remained unaffected. She continued her life as if nothing had happened.
However, Annabelle felt trapped in Jipsburg, like a lifeless shell. It wasn’t supposed to end like this.
“I mentioned at the hospital that I didn’t want to see you again. Clearly, you didn’t take my words seriously,” Natalie said expressionlessly.
Every encounter with Annabelle brought a sharp pang to Natalie’s heart. Jeremy’s betrayal was like a sword piercing her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
Annabelle smiled still. “There’s no need for such hostility. You should thank me. If it weren’t for me, how would you have discovered Mr. Hughes‘ infidelity? You might have been deceived for longer.”
She convinced herself that she had done a good deed.
Even though Annabelle hadn’t taken the initiative to seduce Jeremy, with Jeremy’s status, there would have been many others to seduce him. Just because he wasn’t cheating now didn’t mean he wouldn’t in the future.
These words seemed quite reasonable. Natalie suddenly felt that some people’s values could be genuinely eye–opening. If she didn’t firmly believe that her values were correct she might now doubt herself and think that her values were wrong.
Natalie thought the notion disgusting.
“So, did Jeremy not give you what you wanted?” Natalie sneered.
Annabelle’s smile stiffened on her face. “Isn’t it because you haven’t divorced him yet? Natalie, I don’t understand. Even though you know he’s no longer interested in you and doesn’t love you, why are you still pretending nothing happened?
“Why aren’t you divorcing him? Clinging to a marriage that’s already fallen apart–can that really make you happy?”
Natalie pressed her lips together and clenched her fits.
Indeed, she understood very well. She was clear on everything. Jeremy had betrayed their
love, and their relationship was filled with lies.
It was clear he didn’t love her anymore. However, it wasn’t up to a mistress like Annabelle to flaunt this in front of her.
“Annabelle, do you believe I would call Jeremy right now and tell him I’m not getting a

divorce? Do you think he would come rushing over immediately?

“And if I told him to deal with you, do you think he would make sure you never get another chance to come near me? You’d better apologize now, or I can easily make your life miserable.” Natalie’s voice was harsh.
She wasn’t one to issue threats lightly, but Annabelle had a talent for pushing her to the edge. After all, Annabelle’s shamelessness came first, and her retaliation came after.
Annabelle brought it upon herself.
Annabelle’s face turned pale. “You! You think Mr. Hughes would deal with me just because of you?”
“Wouldn’t he? You’re just a passing interest for him. If you were important, why would he let your pregnancy be terminated? Just because you’re foolish doesn’t mean I am,” Natalie said. Her tone was icy.
With that, she dialed Jeremy’s number. During this period, she avoided direct contact with him. She relied solely on Truman to relay her messages.
Even when Jeremy called her, she refused to answer. Yet today, it was almost ironic that she was calling him because of his mistress.
The phone barely rang three times before Jeremy answered, his voice urgent. “Natalie!”
Hearing him call her name felt like a distant memory.
Before the incident, she had a certain illusion every time he called her like that. Natalie felt as though she was his entire world and that there was only her in his heart, and it seemed as if it would always be that way.
Such belief felt so vivid and beautiful, but now it was only a fleeting moment of confusion.
