"Sebastian, all I ever did was love you. Why are you treating me all the time? I married you, I saved you. It''s fine if you''re not grateful—I don''t need your gratitude anyway."


    "You already paid me back for the medical expenses. Once we have a divorce decree, we''ll owe each other nothing."


    Natalie ground her teeth, her anger reaching its peak.


    Her tears welled up in her eyes.


    Seeing her cry, Sebastian''s hands at his sides tightened into fists. "I''ve said it


    before. I was wrong about what happened in the past. I apologize."


    Natalie sneered. "And I''ve said it before. Your apology is worthless, and you don''t deserve to apologize to me!"


    "I, Natalie, will never forgive Sebastian!"


    With that, she turned and went downstairs.


    Sebastian watched her go, a storm brewing in his eyes.


    His tall figure followed her down.


    Lucien saw Sebastian and his expression darkened. "Why is he here again?"


    Natalie walked toward the dining room with a coldugh. "He climbed the wall. Tell the security staff to be on duty 24/7 starting tonight. If there''s any movement, they are to call me immediately."


    "And if they see this man climbing the wall, they should call the police directly."


    Lucien nced at Sebastian. "Understood!"


    Sebastian frowned, then smiled. "Heh... Natalie, do you think that will get rid of me? Don''t forget, we have a partnership. The contract I signed with you is for three years. And you''re my wife. It''s not illegal for me toe and see you."


    Natalie turned to look at Sebastian, shocked. "Sebastian, are you ying me?"


    Sebastian''s smile was sly. "Natalie, you''re brilliant, but in the business world, contract loopholes are the biggest traps. A seemingly perfect contract can hide endless pitfalls."


    Natalie was stunned. She... she had been tricked by Sebastian again.


    "Sebastian, you..."


    Sebastian cut her off with augh. "Natalie, you have two choices now. Either break your contract with Keith and be the design director at mypany or pay me the penalty for breach of contract. The penalty is three hundred million."


    Natalie choked, almost biting her tongue. "Sebastian, you''re despicable."


    Natalie red at him with hatred. After her designs were giarized, she had sold the blueprints to him just to get away from him, never imagining the contract held a hidden use.


    "I don''t believe you. I''m going to the officeter to see for myself. I''m not falling for your tricks."


    Natalie went to the dining table, sat down, and began to enjoy her soup.


    Lucien, meanwhile, had quietly disappeared.


    Only Sebastian and Natalie remained in the dining room.


    Sebastian also liked soup; the ones Natalie made herself were even better.


    Natalie added vinegar, soy sauce,


    and a dash of chili oil. She took an et


    bite of a ravioli, and the vor, mixed with the aroma of seaweed was delicious.


    On a cold winter day, it was incrediblyforting.


    After a few bites, Natalie looked at Sebastian across the table. After everything that


    had happened, he could still sit there calmly eating breakfast.


    The man had no shame!


    Her grip on the spoon tightened.


    She couldn''t believe Sebastian had tricked her.


    After breakfast, she texted Luna, asking her to check the contract.


    Half an hourter, Luna replied.


    [That''s exactly what the contract says. Didn''t you read it carefully? You''ve sold yourself.]
