She roared in anger, "Nathan, did you really not get a single penny of Wendy''s fortune? I waited for you for so long, all to get my hands on her assets, and now we''re saddled with debt instead!"


    Sophia''s resentment reached its peak.


    To wait for over two decades only for it all toe to nothing was infuriating.


    She had grown ustomed to the luxurious life Wendy''s money provided. She couldn''t go back to living poorly.


    Her words grated on Nathan''s already frayed nerves.


    He red at Sophia. Couldn''t she see how unwell he was? If it had been Wendy, she would have been worried sick at the first sign of a sigh from him.


    But Sophia only has eyes for money.


    “Sophia, I''m not in the mood today. Why are you bringing that up? Do you want to pay off those debts? Can you pay that? I still have a smallpany, and with my son''spany, we''ll be fine. What are you worried about?"


    "Even if there was anything left of Wendy''s parents'' fortune, I couldn''t get it. Those two crafty old foxes drew up a will long ago, leaving everything to their daughter. What good would it do me? I can''t transfer it into my name."


    Nathan''s chest tightened, and he struggled to breathe.


    "Ah... I can''t breathe. Sophia, get me one of my pills, quick. I''m having trouble breathing."


    Sophia shot him a furious re. "You useless piece of trash! Now your body is failing too. This is infuriating! I waited for you all these years for nothing."


    As angry as she was, she still fetched his pills and a ss of water for him to take them.


    Joanna had said her father was still useful, and that his four worthless sons could be exploited again.


    On the ind, Natalie knew everything.


    Luna had arranged it all behind the scenes. Though Natalie wasn''t in Yaro, she was fully aware of what was happening there.


    After having lunch with Zenobia, Natalie showed her the videos and the news online.


    After watching, Zenobia felt a deep, satisfying sense of vindication.


    "Natalie, your father is such a scumbag. He has a mistress and he tried to steal everything from your mother..."


    Natalie smiled and stopped her,


    saying, "Zenobia, I''ve already cut ties with them. From now on, they are not my parents, and those brothers are nothing to me. I will never forgive them for the pain they caused me. Whatever happens to them has nothing to do with me But Nathan and Joanna have been plotting against me in secret. Just you wait, things are about to get much worse for Joanna."


    This time around, only Sebastian and that other man were on her side, but she would make sure Joanna had no chance to hurt her again.


    Zenobia took Natalie''s hand and patted it. She had witnessed Natalie''s suffering firsthand, so she fully supported her decision to cut ties with the Scotts.


    "Natalie, there''s no need to maintain a rtionship that isn''t meant to be. We''ll always be best friends. We''ll support each other down the road, se you wont be alone."


    They''re all grown-ups. They can figure things out on their own.


    No one in the Scott family was a good person.


    "I know. But Zenobia, Yvonne tried


    to ckmail you


    kidnap your bow that she''s been


    for ten million.


    arrested, I''m worried Jerome will


    find out about you."


    fo


    Zenobia smiled. "Don''t worry. Even if he finds out, I have a way to handle it. He can''t


    take the baby from me. Do you want to know how?"
