Chapter 270
Wendy shook her head with a wry smile. She looked at Maria and said helplessly, "Maria, you've been with me
for years. Do you think I'm that kind of person?
"Ever since | found out that Nick trickedinto marrying him just to bring his mistress's daughter to replace my
own and live a comfortable life, I've wanted him dead. How could | not despise him?
"They say even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs. But Nick spares no one, even the Simpson bloodline. My four sons
have taken after Nick's temperament, each more vicious than the other."
"Maybe they had already learned the truth, which is why they treat Jennifer so well. After all, she is their half-
sister."
Wendy looked into Maria's eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears. She continued, "Maria, to be honest, Nick
intentionally spoiled my four sons. | tried to correct them and did notice the problems, but Nick was exceptionally
persuasive. "Every t| tried to teach the kids to focus on their studies, he would just stir things up, saying that
having a degree isn't the most important thing, that having money in the future matters most.
"But then he had Jennifer attend a top university and learn all sorts of practical skills. Look at those four boys-
they almost didn't even enter college.
"If the Tompson family fell, they couldn't find jobs, let alone think about getting married or having kids.
"Zoe leaving Jason, and Tiana leaving Vance, that was all Jennifer's doing. Meanwhile, Jasmine still dreams of
marrying into the Simpson family, hoping to get Jason to be her leftover receiver. "Jennifer always knew that the
baby Jasmine is carrying isn't Jasan's. Tiana is a good girl, completely devoted to Vance.

"But Jennifer was afraid the Gillett family would boost Vance's influence, so she deliberately involved a terrible
woman to get close to Vance and schemed against Tiana in every way she could. "Maria, Jennifer is really scary.
We've been investigating for over six months, and it turns out half the people in the company are on her side.
So, this company must go bankrupt.
"My four sons have been completely spoiled. You askedto groom Declan as the heir, and today | deliberately
told him sthings, but he only trusts Nick and won't believe anything I say.
"Maria, if they want to ruin themselves, I'm not stopping them. But they can't block my path. The Tompson family
is the legacy of nearly four generations of hard work. | can't let the Simpson family ruin the fruits."
Wendy had already made up her mind. She couldn't help but feel for the kids she raised herself. But if she had to
make a choice, she would abandon her four sons to protect her parents.
Maria knew Wendy well. She knew Wendy was very dutiful, which was why, after marrying Nick, Wendy
suggested giving Nick's parents 30 thousand each month for living expenses.
Maria said, "Wendy, concerning the Simpson family, you've already done more than enough. But those two old
folks aren't thankful. They knew everything yet kept it hidden from you and the four kids. What you need now is
reliable people around you." Wendy said, "Maria, showing off too much can pull us into trouble. Letting go of this
company might cost us over 500 million dollars, but we can still live well." There was hope only if one was alive.
Wendy was deeply pained thinking about Nick poisoning her.
Maria recalled how Wendy was nearly poisoned. She said with concern, "Wendy, you must not eat any of the
Simpson family's food. If we hadn't noticed it early last time, you would have already..." 11:24 Sat, Dec 14 G.

Wendy replied, "Yeah, if Natalie hadn't found out that my tonic was poisoned, I'd already be dead. Natalie is such
a good ed Because of that awful Jennifer, I've completely lost my daughter
"I was so foolish. Jennifer only knows how to talk; she can't do anything. But Natalie is different. When | got sick,
the stayed by my side and cared for me. She'd go withif | wanted something to eat from outside.
"She is such a wonderful child. But Jennifer kept plotting against her, causing us to misunderstand her. She
beccompletely disappointed inand left.
"Maria, why is my life such a failure? Natalie is kind-hearted and outstanding, but to those Simpsons, she's just a
country girl from an impoverished town.
"Declan even planned to hand her over to other men for their amusement. Do you think | can trust him? No,
Maria, | don't want any of these four sons because they all lack humanity,"
Wendy lay on Maria's shoulder, crying her heart out.
Maria, feeling heartbroken, closed her eyes and gently comforted Wendy, "Wendy, it's okay. We're all here with
you. You'll be fine. Since all your four sons chose Nick and Jennifer, just let them go." Outside the door, Declan
was in disbelief. His eyes widened, unable to fathom the truth he had just heard. His tall body trembled, and
tears streamed uncontrollably down his face.
He thought, 'No wonder Mom left us. Dad tricked her into marriage. Jennifer manipulated Natalie, making us turn
against Natalie Jennifer is playing us."
His eyes were bloodshot, as terrifying as a wild beast.
He thought, 'Dad has another son elsewhere. He and Jennifer give all their money to that illegitimate child's
startup. We are paving the way for Jennifer and her brother.
‘Natalie was right; Jennifer only used a few sweet words to have us all wrapped around her finger. Jennifer

'No wonder Grandma often blames Mom for publicly appearing, saying it is shameful. She clearly wants Mom to
give the company to Dad. How could Nick manage the company well with his limited abilities?’ Declan didn't
disturb the heartbroken Wendy; he just turned around and left. He ran downstairs without stopping, unable to
accept what he'd heard. Once he calmed down, he called Jennifer. "Hello! Declan," Jennifer said softly.
With a gloomy face, Declan asked, "Jennifer, did you apply for 300 thousand a month as pocket money using my
name?"
Jennifer replied, "You found out. | know you're the best and care aboutthe most. | needed more money for a
competition recently, but Mom didn't want to giveextra cash. And Dad has no money.
"So | used your card and got 300 thousand approved without Mom knowing. Declan, how about | share sof
my allowance with you? Please don't tell Mom."
Declan sneered. He thought, 'It is indeed her. She admits it so readily because she knows | always spoil her.
He said, "That is good. Mom has cut ties with me, and | have no money now. | checked, you've been using that
ac four years, and there's a total of 12 million in it. So you owemillion.
"You givethe money, and | will help you buy that land you want. How's that, my dear sister?"
Even though Declan was smiling as he spoke, his eyes were filled with coldness.

But at this moment, he was still reluctant to believe it. The four brothers were willing to risk their lives to protect
Jennifer. Yet Jennifer wanted to kill them.
