Chapter 1350


    Chapter 1349 The Threat of Evidence


    After speaking, Eugene forcefully pushed him away.


    Ace was pushed far away. As Finley and the others closed in, a surge of panic overwhelmed him, and


    he desperately clung to Jade. "Jade… Jade, please save me!"


    However, Jade remained unmoved by his pleas and coldly responded, "You brought this upon yourself.


    The consequences you face today are the result of your actions." After saying that, she tried to break


    free from his grasp.


    However, Ace stubbornly held onto her and refused to let go. "Jade, we were once bound as husband


    and wife. You can''t simply leave me like this!"


    With a fit of unusual anger burning in his eyes, Eugene walked over and delivered a swift kick to Ace.


    "Since your son is present today, I''ll spare you some dignity. But mark my words, Ace Baker—if you


    ever try to harm them again, I will make sure you''re done for!"


    Left lying motionless on the ground after the forceful kick, Ace felt a profound sense of despair.


    "Nathan, are you not going to help me too?" he pleaded.


    Standing not far away, Nathan remained silent and looked at his father expressionlessly.


    ncing at Nathan and noting his unwavering stance, Eugene then shifted his gaze to Jade and


    questioned, "To whom did you give this house when you divorced?"


    Jade''s response was filled with disdain as she looked at Ace. "To him," she replied.


    Fully aware of Ace''s persistent nature, Jade had willingly granted him control of every property he was


    aware of to avoid his interference.


    As for herself, she had converted thepany into stocks and cash, unconcerned about the possibility


    of him benefiting slightly from it. Her primary objective was to sever all tiespletely, ensuring he


    wouldn''t find any valuable assets to exploit.


    Since ten years ago, Eugene had always wanted them to divorce, and now he could only feel a sense


    of relief for his sister. He nodded in agreement and added, "Pay attention to the news tomorrow before


    10.00AM. If there''s no public apology from the Snow Family and Ace, I''ll hand over the evidence to the


    police."


    His words were clearly directed at Ace and the Snow Family.


    Jade quietly acknowledged his instruction in a soft voice.


    After they departed, the room erupted with a tumultuous series of banging and crashing sounds.


    "Ace Baker, you son of a b*tch! Do you think you can toy with me like a monkey?! If I don''t end you


    today, then it will be the end of me!"


    Ace''s agonizing screams filled the room. "Argh! Finley, let me exin—don''t hit me! Don''t hit me! How


    much money did you lose? I promise to cover all the losses, alright?" he pleaded, desperate to save


    himself from further harm.


    Meanwhile, Eugene, Jade, and Nathan walked out without looking back, especially Eugene, whose


    footsteps quickened as if he were in a hurry.


    Jade observed Nathan closely as he followed Eugene. Throughout the ordeal, he never once turned to


    look at her. While he seemed more biased toward her than Ace, she couldn''t shake the feeling that


    deep down, he might still hold her responsible.


    In just a few swift steps, Eugene reached the car and said, "Nathan, take your mother home. I''ll go


    first."


    Nathan nodded in response and opened the car door for Eugene. "Uncle, thank you for today."


    Nathan recognized that if it hadn''t been for Eugene''s intervention, Finley would never have backed


    down so easily tonight, let alone demand an apology from them.


    However, Eugene had them firmly under his control, with the threat of imprisonment if they refused to


    apologize.


    It was truly impressive.


    However, Eugene remained unaware of Nathan''s thoughts, and his mind was preupied with the


    thought of leaving his wife alone at home.


    He missed her dearly.


    After mumbling an acknowledgment, he got into the car.


    As Eugene''s car drove away, Nathan hailed a cab by the side of the road. Having returned the car keys


    earlier, he had no other option but to take a cab.


    Without talking to Jade, he opened the back door of the cab and gestured for her to get in.


    Despite having her car, Jadeplied and entered the cab.


    Inside the cab, Jade felt the urge to speak several times before finally finding her voice. "I''m sorry,


    Nathan. Don''t me me. My intentions were genuinely for your own good," she mumbled, trying to


    exin herself.


    Nathan remained silent, his gaze focused on the world outside the window.


    Jade continued her exnation. "I really didn''t know about the issues between your father and the


    Snow Family. If I had known, I wouldn''t have turned a blind eye."


    Releasing a deep sigh, Nathan replied, "It''s fine. There''s no need to exin. I already know, and I


    support your decision to divorce Ace. Since you''ve given him the property, let''s stay at Muse Penins


    tonight."


    Jade''s eyes brightened at his words. Muse Penins was the residence chosen by Nathan. Is this a


    sign of his forgiveness?


    She replied happily, "Okay."


    However, when they returned to Muse Penins, Nathan emerged from his room with a packed


    suitcase in hand, startling her at once. She never expected him to still hold a grudge;pared to Ace,


    he resented her slightly less, but he didn''t forgive her. Her voice trembling, she asked, "Nathan, w-


    where are you going?"


    Nathan paused without looking back at her. "Dad was right about one thing. As long as I''m living with


    you and spending your money, I have no right to have a say. That''s why you two don''t care about what


    I think. This house is yours, so I won''t be staying here anymore. Starting from today, I won''t spend a


    single penny of yours."


    Freaking out, Jade caught up to him in a few steps and held onto his suitcase. "Nathan, don''t scare me,


    okay? I do care about you. I know that we didn''t handle this well, but your dad and I are divorced now.


    His theories don''t affect you anymore. From now on, what''s mine is yours. No one will say anything


    about you."


    Nathan looked at her, his eyes zing with intensity as he questioned, "Aren''t you part of his theories


    as well? If you didn''t rely on your sense of superiority, you wouldn''t have gone to Halma and said so


    many cruel things to her! Even if we''re just friends for eight years, you shouldn''t have treated her like


    that, not to mention that she is my girlfriend! She loved me when I was at my lowest. She didn''t despise


    me for not being knowledgeable or having no skills whatsoever, nor did she frown on me for staying in


    her rented house, sitting around doing nothing. I barely had enough to eat back then, being chased by


    loan sharks everywhere. I even contemted ending it all! I was unconscious for three full days, during


    which she took care of me 24/7. Without her, I wouldn''t be who I am today! She loves me with all her


    heart and did not ask for anything from our family, so how could you point fingers at her?"


    This was the first time Jade had heard Nathan talk about these things, and she was deeply shocked.


    "When did all this happen? Why don''t I know about it?"


    Nathan knew what he was going to say next. His heart ached with pain, and his eyes reddened


    instantly. "Of course, you don''t know about it! Every day, you were either busy working at your office or


    stalking Ace Baker like catching a thief. I lived each day like a street child, drinking, gambling, fooling


    around with girls, and doing drugs all day with friends who were only a little older than me. Without


    Uncle Eugene''s forced discipline, I''d most likely end up in prison! Only you think your son is precious.


    What''s wrong with my girlfriend? She''s beautiful, confident, works hard, and managed to study abroad


    based on her own merits. She started her own magazine without relying on anyone, and her excellence


    surpasses many others. And now, you''ve stripped away every ounce of her confidence! Isn''t it just


    because she isn''t as loaded as you are? What else is it about her that makes her not good enough for


    your son?"


    Jade looked at him, feeling a lump in her throat. After remaining speechless for a long time, she said,


    "I''m sorry, I didn''t know these truths, and you didn''t tell me either. I-I''ll apologize to her tomorrow, okay?


    Please don''t move out."

    At that, Nathan replied expressionlessly, "You should apologize indeed, but I don''t want you to bother


    her these days. It''d seem insincere and it''ll be as if I forced you to do it."


    As such, Jade gave in. "Alright, then. I''ll apologize to her after some time, okay? As long as you don''t


    move out, that is."


    Nathan asserted, "I''m definitely moving out of here. I don''t want to live in the shadow of your influence,


    and I certainly don''t want to be unable to stand up for myself when you meddle in my affairs!" With that,


    he dragged his suitcase, ready to leave.


    Jade stopped him once again in a pleading voice. "Where are you going at such ate hour? I just


    divorced your dad. Can''t you spend some time with me?"


    Nathan''s expression remained indifferent and even had a hint of coldness to it. "You were living alone


    even before the divorce. Now that you''ve divorced a sc*mbag like that, you should be celebrating by


    throwing a party. It''s really nothing to be heartbroken about. I''m going to find my girl. She has been


    upset for so many days and needs someone by her side as well!"
