Jennifer smirked at Wendy, mocking her lack of competence. "Mom, you must have been too harsh on my
brothers. That's why Declan refuses to side with you. And as long as Declan isn't on your side, the other three
won't be, either." "Vance might be missing, but there's nobody. There's only one possibility. He's off chasing
Khloe again. He loves her desperately, you know, head over heels."
Still, Vance had likely met his end in the ocean. There was no way he'd ever return.
Jennifer planned to use her two remaining brothers to commit crimes that would land them behind bars.
Wendy pulled her hand away from Declan's grasp without saying a word and headed upstairs to rest. She was
exhausted. After the divorce, she intended to unleash her most brutal revenge.
Seeing Wendy calm down, Nick finally felt at ease.
He wasn't in a hurry. Over the years, he had secretly stashed away a significant amount of money and even
bought two villas. As long as the company stayed afloat, his luxurious lifestyle would remain intact.
Nick glanced at Declan, his mind racing. 'What's he up to? Does he want to take over my company? No way. |
can't let him stay close to me," he wondered.
"Declan, you're all adults now. You can choose to follow whoever you want, but don't expect to stay with me,"
Nick declared firmly.
Nick had no intention of supporting Wendy's sons. His priority was Camellia and their children; taking care of
Wendy's boys would only upset her.
Declan's eyes glistened with unshed tears. In a low voice, he said, "Alright. Mr. Simpson, | understand. In that
case, let's draft an agreement before the divorce is finalized.
"If you don't wantnow, then when you're old, we four brothers won't take care of you either. If you refuse to
sign the agreement, I'll demand 10% of your company shares." Nick was stunned. 'So Declan really is after my
company!" he thought.
With no other options and his company being his sole source of income, Nick had no choice but to agree.
"Fine. I'll draw up the agreement right now. When I'm old, | won't expect anything from you," said Nick.
Using the household printer, Nick quickly typed up a severance agreement, disowning Declan and his brothers,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand printed it out for them to sign.
Declan looked at the agreement with bitterness. Natalie had seen through the family's selfishness long ago,
which was why she had resolutely signed away her ties to them and left.
After Nick signed, the deal was done. From now on, the brothers’ lives and deaths would have nothing to do with
Nick. Declan stared at Nick, feigning reluctance. "Dad, think carefully. If you sign this, you'll no longer be my
father."
Nick frowned impatiently. "Just sign it already. | didn't even keep Natalie around. Why would | bother with you
four losers?" Declan gave a bitter smile. "Alright. If you don't want me, Jennifer does. She's my dearest sister,
and we'll stick together." He turned to Jennifer with a smile.

Jennifer chuckled. "Declan, if you want, you can stay by my side and keep working as my driver. After all, with
your degree from a third-rate college, finding a job must be tough. Being a driver suits you perfectly." "Exactly, it
suitsjust fine. Being your driver makeshappy. No matter what others say, | only recognize you as my
sister. The bond we've shared growing up can't be weakened by anyone else," Declan replied. Jennifer looked
into Declan's tear-filled eyes. Knowing he had no other options, she smiled faintly without responding and went
upstairs to rest.
Meanwhile, a servant discreetly recorded the entire scene and sent the video to Natalie.
After watching it, Natalie felt little emotion.
Declan truly was Jennifer's loyal follower, but as long as he didn't meddle in her affairs, she didn't care.
With Wendy's capabilities, she could ensure Nick ended up with nothing.
Wendy had been preparing for nearly a year, waiting for the perfect moment. Now, she wanted nothing more
than to finalize the divorce. Once it was done, Nick's scandals would inevitably cto light. And when that
happened, Nick would lose everything.
Wendy knew she couldn't overpower Jennifer, not with William supporting her from the shadows.
still, she had no intention of letting Nick or Jennifer live comfortably. All she had to do was sit back and watch the
chaos unfold.
Meanwhile, Natalie responded to the servant who had sent her the video with a quick thanks then set her phone
aside and returned to her work.
Zoe hadn't been feeling well. After a one-hour nap, she woke up with a sore back.
Walking around her room helped, and the thought of her baby's impending arrival filled her with joy.
The storm outside had passed, but thick fog blanketed the sea, making it impossible to discern directions.
A lone fishing boat rocked in the desolate waves.
Listening to music, Zoe paced her room, taking breaks whenever she felt tired.
By the afternoon, a faint, dull ache started in her lower abdomen.
Recalling all the advice she'd read from expectant mothers and doctors, she figured labor was still a while away.
As the discomfort remained manageable, she decided to seek out Natalie, knowing that having a doctor and
friend like Natalie nearby brought her immense comfort. Zoe knocked on Natalie's door, and it opened almost
immediately.
Natalie's face turned serious. "Zoe, are you feeling unwell?"
Zoe nodded, a wry smile on her lips. "Natalie, you called it. My stomach's really starting to hurt now."
Natalie quickly checked her condition and confirmed it. "Zoe, it's time. Let's head to the hospital and get
everything set up. Better to be prepared early."
Zoe nodded. "Alright. I've already arranged a VIP room at the hospital, and the essentials were sent over. We can
go now."

Natalie helped Zoe bundle up with a hat and mask, slung on a backpack, and supported her as they headed
downstairs toward the hospital.
Across the street, Jasmine sat by her window, scrolling on her phone while keeping an eye on Zoe's building
She hadn't expected Zoe to head out today; she thought there'd be a few more days before the baby arrived.
When she saw Natalie carefully escorting Zoe to the hospital across the street, her eyes gleamed with sinister
excitement.

Jasmine had an ace up her sleeve. Her aunt Madison worked at this very hospital. If she could get her hands on
Zoe's baby, it would be the perfect leverage to extort a substantial sum. After all, Zoe had chosen to give birth in
secret, hiding the baby's existence from Jason.
Jasmine immediately messaged Madison, setting her plan in motion before heading downstairs for dinner.
Zoe settled into her private room and waited for her labor
to progress.
The doctor had already examined her and determined she was an excellent candidate for a natural delivery.
By seven in the evening, Natalie had prepared a simple dinner and brought it over. The two ate together as Zoe's
contractions intensified, beads of sweat dotting her forehead.
Zoe was determined to conserve her strength for the delivery.
She knew from all the advice she'd read that screaming would only sap her energy, so she silently endured the
pain.
Natalie kept an eye on the clock and handed Zoe a pill. "Zoe, take this. It'll help ease the pain."
Trusting Natalie completely, Zoe took the medication and resumed pacing the room, trying to manage the
contractions that cin waves. The pain was nearly unbearable at times, and Zoe wiped away her tears,
struggling to hold it together. "Natalie, it really hurts," Zoe admitted, wiping the sweat from her brow. Despite
the pain, she managed a faint smile.
Natalie's heart ached for her. "Hang in there, Zoe. It's going to hurt, but once it's over, the pain will be gone.
You're doing great! Your little one's going to be so adorable."
Zoe smiled through the agony.
"Okay," she whispered, laughing softly despite the pain.
Outside the room, Jasmine stood by the door, her phone held up discreetly. She was recording the entire scene,
her movements careful and calculated.
