Whenn saw Natalie''s reply, he beamed. Ms. Sanders, just wait two years for me. I''ll definitelye and help you.


    Natalie was unaware ofn''s thoughts. She was only focused on dragging Joanna down to hell and getting her revenge. As for the fates of others, she would save who she could.


    In the afternoon, just as she was leaving work, she ran into Jared and Monica, who hade looking for her.


    Just seeing them made Natalie feel disgusted.


    Jared handed Natalie a wedding invitation. "Natalie, my wedding ising up. You are, after all, my sister by blood..."


    "Don''t bother. I won''t be there. I have nothing to do with the Scott family anymore."


    Natalie''s cold voice cut him off.


    Jared was angry. "Natalie, why are you so stubborn? I came all this way to invite you personally. What more do you want?"


    Natalie thought he was delusional. Sheughed mockingly. "Jared, what exactly do you want from me? You''re the one who told me not to im any rtion to you in public. And now you''re using that very rtion to invite me to your wedding?"


    "You despise me, so why invite me? To spoil your big day?"


    Monica said intively, "Natalie, please don''t say that. You''re family, connected by blood..."


    Natalie interrupted her again. "Don''t make it sound so lovely. Does family plot against you behind your back? Do they tarnish your name with the most vicious nder for no reason?"


    "Get lost! Don''t stand here and disgust me," Natalie said coldly, striding away.


    Jared was furious. "Natalie, don''t be so ungrateful! It''s an honor that I came to invite you myself."


    Natalie didn''t even spare him a nce and walked straight toward the street.


    Monica looked hurt. She whispered, "Jared, let''s go. Natalie probably looks down on someone with roy background. That''s why she won''te to our wedding.


    Jared was angry too. He felt a little guilty about ndering Natalie''s reputation, which was why he hade to invite her, but she had refused.


    "Monica, this has nothing to do with you. Let''s go. If she doesn''t want toe fine. Even though the others cant make it, my father and Joanna will be there, and so will Grandma and Grandpa."


    Only then did Monica nod happily.


    "Jared, you should go ahead. We''re getting married soon, and I need to buy a few things by myself. I''ll contact youter."


    Jared was a bit puzzled. "I can go with you. What do you want to buy?"


    Monica smiled. "No need. Just some small decorations for the house. Don''t you


    have a dinner engagement tonight? You go on ahead. I''ll go."


    Jared didn''t press the issue. Thinking about Natalie''s attitude, he felt that maybe he


    had bullied her too much in the past, leading her to act this way.


    He thought to himself that he should be nicer to Natalie in the future.


    After watching Monica leave, he called Natalie again.


    Natalie was already in a car. She had ns to meet Marshall tonight.


    When she saw Jared''s call, she answered. "Hello?"


    Jared said quickly, "Natalie, I''ll be nicer to you from now on. Just quit your position as Design Director and stop opposing Joanna. I won''t be so ruthless with you anymore


    Hearing this, Natalie almost choked with rage.


    She yelled furiously, "Jared, you son of a bitch! What right do you have to dictate my life?"
