She couldn''t hear the anchor, but she could see it was thetest financial report for


    the year.


    Yaro''s richest man: Sebastian Griffith.


    In second ce was the Monroe family.


    Third was the Spencer family.


    Below them were the rest of Yaro''s most prominent families.


    Natalie thought, "..."


    How wonderful. Sebastian was paving the way for Joanna. It was truly enviable.


    But in this life, things had changed. Sebastian had announced his status as the richest man far earlier than before.


    In her past life, she remembered the newsing out two yearster, after he and Joanna had gotten together.


    She frowned slightly. Why so early this time?


    What had gone wrong?


    Or was it that, because she had been reborn, many things from her past life had been altered?


    For example, Jerome''s fate had followed the original script.


    But she had saved Jared.


    And now, Sebastian''s status as the richest man was public knowledge ahead of schedule.


    Did that mean other things would change in this life as well?


    Sean saw the screen too. "Mr. Griffith, the richest man in Yaro. It could only be you."


    Sebastian nced at Natalie, noticing herck of reaction. In the past, whenever he closed a deal, she would be ecstatic and cook him a special meal.


    Now, he was the wealthiest man in the city, and she couldn''t care less.


    He finally let out a quiet "Mm."


    Natalie wasn''t interested in Sebastian being the richest man.


    She just wanted to live.


    Joanna, still on the ind, also saw the news. Her face lit up with an excitement that suggested she was the one inheriting the fortune.


    She quickly sent a text to Natalie.


    [Natalie, Sebastian is the richest man in Yaro now. You''re not good enough for him anymore. If you have any sense, you''ll get out of the country and stop embarrassing him.]


    Natalie read the message and let out a bitterugh.


    She wasn''t good enough, but a scheming flirt like Joanna was?


    [Sebastian is the one who won''t divorce me Why don''t you try a little harder? Get pregnant with his child me in


    and I''m sure held trick yo


    heartbeat. Use the same trick you pulled on Mr. Wilson. Maybe then I can step aside for you tomorrow.]


    After sending it, she handed the phone to Sebastian. "Look, your lover can''t wait to get rid of me. And read my reply. I think it''s a great idea for you two. Once Joanna is carrying your child, you can ride off into the sunget together with nothing standing in your way."


    Sebastian frowned as he read the messages.


    Natalie taunted him. "What? You don''t believe me? Think I faked this one too?"


    His gaze, deep and furious, locked onto her. "You really want me to have a child with another woman that badly?"


    "Oh, I want it more than anything. A divorce means freedom. Why wouldn''t I want that?"


    Natalie smiled brightly. "Mr. Griffith, haven''t you heard the saying?"


    Sebastian asked, "What saying?"


    "Life''s too short to waste on toxic men!"


    "Natalie, you..."


    Suddenly, a message from an unknown number came in.


    [Natalie, are you home yet? Please text me when you are, so I don''t worry. The soup tonight was delicious. I ate until I was full. Thank you for making dinner for me.]


    Sebastian''s grip on the phone tightened. She had cooked for that man tonight.


    He turned his head slowly to look at her, his jaw tight, his dark eyes churning with a storm of fury.


    He demanded, “Natalie, can''t you live without a man?"
