Chapter 600
The color drained from Natalie’s face.
The two of them realized something after the fact. They looked toward the door at the same time.
When they saw Natalie’s pale face, Austin’s expression turned somber. He put his book away and walked over. He said, “Natalie, I’ll handle this. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Natalie’s mind was entirely blank. She replied, “I didn’t know he would ask you to do so. I’m sorry. I hadn’t dealt with my own matters. properly and dragged you into this.”
“This has nothing to do with you,” Hank consoled.
This had to do with Austin’s career. It was a more serious issue than
they’d expected.
“I’m sorry,” Natalie said. She was overwhelmed with guilt.
She knew how important Austin’s acting career was to him. As one of his fans who’d liked him for years, she knew more than anyone else. how Austin had gotten to where he is today. Yet, everything he’d built for himself might be destroyed because of her.
Austin frowned and consoled, “It’s not that serious. I don’t need you. to apologize. This has nothing to do with you.”
Hank rubbed his nose. How could it have nothing to do with Natalie?
If Austin hadn’t wanted Natalie for himself, would Jeremy have taken action against him? Everything happened for a reason.
Natalie shook her head and mumbled, “Sorry, I’ll take my leave now.”
She ran away immediately. Austin couldn’t stop her in time.

Hank couldn’t help but say, “Who knows how Jeremy would treat Natalie? I don’t understand. Men who cheat usually don’t like their wives anymore. Why do I feel like Jeremy about Natalie deeply? If he loved her, why would he cheat on her? Just to feel the rush brought on by a new relationship?”
As a man, he could understand.

Austin’s face turned serious. Turning back to Hank, he asked, “When did you become so talkative?”
“I’ve always been like this. It’s not like you didn’t know.”
“From now onward, shut up.”
Silence ensued.
Natalie caught a cab to Hughes Group.
She could count the number of times she’d come here on two hands!
In the past, she’d visit with anticipation and love. This time, she came with anger and uncontrollable hatred.
“Mrs. Hughes?”
All the employees who saw Natalie were surprised. They seldom saw her in the office in the morning as Jeremy would usually be in meetings at this hour.
Natalie found it ironic that she was being called Mrs. Hughes. She said to the employees, “I’m looking for Mr. Hughes. You don’t have to follow me around.”
“Alright.”
Natalie took an elevator straight to Jeremy’s office.
She was livid, but she wouldn’t throw a tantrum while Jeremy was in a
meeting. Jeremy could be as shameless as he wanted to be, but
Natalie wouldn’t sink to his level.
