Wendy was shocked; she had never imagined Nick to be so shameless. It was the height of shamelessness.
Over the years, she viewed Nick through rose-colored glasses, believing his kindness was sincere. Now, she truly
grasped the phrase a honeyed sword behind sweet words.
She sneered, "Nick, you've always treated Jennifer like a little princess, showering your love on her while ignoring
my four
sons.
"You even stole my biological daughter and abandoned her in an impoverished town. Now you're telling me
you've raised an ungrateful child. That's ironic."
Nick felt awful. Even though getting a divorce was what he wanted most, and living happily as a family of four
was also his dream, he didn't understand why everything ended up with nothing left.
He still liked Wendy, loved her gentleness and kindness, and adored her tender closeness. It was only after
divorcing that he realized who truly cared for him.
If he hadn't done those things, he would still have a warm and happy home, and his parents wouldn't constantly
trouble him. It was all his own doing, and now he regretted it.
Seeing the scene not far away, Natalie thought Nick was shameless for what he did. She never had a good
impression of this so-called father.
From the first tthey met, she felt Nick wasn't really her dad. That feeling was always very strong.
Nick wasn't feeling well today because he caught a cold. If Wendy were by his side, seeing him with a runny
nose, she'd put aside her work and take care of him at huntil he got better Camellia wasn't as attentive; she
only cared about herself and didn't care about Nick's well-being at all.
Nick sincerely apologized, "Wendy, | was wrong. We're both getting older, and after we remarry, let's live well. |

Her tone was equally cold as she said, "You and | have been divorced for a while. There's nothing between us.
Don't forget, it was your family that forcedto divorce. "You abandonedin my darkest hour and still expect

Wendy's gaze was filled with contempt and coldness, making Nick's scalp tingle with discomfort. Nick kept
saying, "Wendy, | was wrong, really wrong..."
Wendy interrupted him with a smile, "Nick, you didn't do anything wrong. The mistake was mine for not seeing
clearly. You metat twenty, and when you were twenty-two, | had Jason.
"For the next five years, | was always either pregnant or having a baby because | believed you lovedand
thought you were a good person. | am the only daughter in my family, so | often felt lonely.
"I thought having more kids would make the house lively. | never even suspected you had someone else when
you stoppedfrom having more kids.
"Your Simpson family only lived well because of the Tompson family. Now that | can't give them money anymore,

"Nick, go ahead and spend the rest of your life rotting with those leeches of yours."

Nick was shocked. His legs felt weak, and his face turned pale as Wendy easily revealed his current predicament.
He was filled with regret.
If he hadn't agreed to Jennifer's actions, Wendy's company wouldn't be in trouble, and he would still be living
happily. Nick said, "Wendy...
Wendy turned to leave, only to see Natalie standing a short distance behind her. "Natalie!" she exclaimed with
delight.
Natalie turned and walked away. She really didn't want to encounter these troublessituations, but
unfortunately, there they were.
Nick quickly called out to Natalie, "Natalie, stop right there!"
Natalie turned back and asked him, "Do you need something?"
Nick approached with a stern look. He said, "Natalie, it was my mistake to throw you away. Now, your mom is in
debt for 150 million. Isn't your project capable of earning that much?
"Help your mom pay if off, and I'll remarry her immediately. You know she's only lovedher whole life. Can you
really stand to see her unhappy?" He was playing the emotional card.
Natalie was disgusted. She thought, 'How dare he show up like this?" She said, "Mr. Simpson, I've cut all ties with
you long ago. I've repaid my debt to you for raising me, and | can't accept your shameless request." Nick sad,
"Natalie, don't you want to do something for your mom...
Natalie replied, "Who's my mom?" Natalie gave Nick a cold glance and continued, "Mr. Simpson, you chose this
path. A whole month went by, have you without regretted it?"
Nick's face turned pale. He was so embarrassed he wished he could just disappear. But without money, he
couldn't hold onto his pride.
He said, "Natalie, everyone makes mistakes. | know | was wrong. Help your mom pay off that 150 million, and I'll
remarry her."
Wendy couldn't help but shout, "Nick, don't push it! I'm the one who doesn't want to remarry. Stop pressuring
Natalie-you have no right to make such demands of her! Did you ever raise her or care for her even for one day?
"Nick, remember this: Natalie owes you nothing, and you'll face the consequences." She had already lost hope,
but even at that moment, her heart still ached.

She told Natalie, "Natalie, you don't have to worry about my debts. Just live your life well."
Natalie replied, "Okay!" Then she went to the mall.
Wendy watched Natalie walk away with tears in her eyes.
Nick looked defeated as he watched Wendy leave. He was filled with regret, but it was too late.
"Nick, | can't believe you're so disgraceful. It's only been a few days, and you're already back asking Wendy for a
remarriage," Camellia sneered at Nick, filled with sarcasm.
Nick suddenly turned around and looked at Camellia. He asked, Camellia, where did you go last night? Were you
meeting with Colin again?"
Camellia's eyes looked away slightly as she said, "I was hsleeping last night: | didn't go anywhere. | was in
my room, Nick. If you truly cared about me, you'd know | was at hlast night."

Nick frowned and said, "But you didn't cto bed last night."
Nick knew Camellia had a knack for pretending. He hadn't noticed it before, but now that they were living
together, her true colors were completely exposed.
In the past, he was captivated by the beautiful future Jennifer portrayed for him. He wanted to get rid of the
reputation of living off a woman, but he was wrong. Ever since he married Wendy, his reputation was ruined.
Camellia was furious. She said "With all that trouble, do you think | can sleep in the sbed with you?"
Nick was in a bad mood and wasn't up for arguing with Camellia. He turned around and left.
After coming out of the mall, Natalie saw Camellia. She noticed Camellia still wearing last night's clothes. She
narrowed her eyes, thinking, 'Could she have been the one who killed Maris last night?"
