Chapter 282


    Everyone had different personalities. Some would arrive at thepany half an hour before work,


    while others would not waste a second and


    would go to thepany on time.


    For example, some felt getting exactly 60 marks was the best oue in school exams. Obtaining


    exactly 60 points was a reflection of one’s ability.


    A score of 98 or 99 was not impressive enough. They would be considered outstanding at most. A


    score of 60 marks exact is the goal to reach.


    Rose was the kind of person who went to work on time. At this moment, she was in the front passenger


    seat and urging the driver-cum-bodyguard to drive faster.


    The driver’s name was Tom. Rose did not know his family name.


    Tom was neither handsome nor tall. He was thin but looked very strong and had a good physique. He


    looked like a good fighter. Although Rose was anxious to get to work on time, it did not stop her from


    scrutinizing Tom in detail.


    “Tom, drive faster and step on the elerator. It’s fine. If you are fined,


    brother will deal with it. I’ll be much harder to deal with if I’mte for


    my work.”


    my


    Tom wanted to tell Natalie he would be on time if she could be a few minutes earlier. He had to put his


    driving skills to the test daily to ensure that Natalie was notte. However, Tom could only reply


    obediently, “Okay, Miss Natalie.”


    Seeing that he had agreed, Rose was relieved. She leaned against her seat leisurely. After all, Tom’s


    driving skills were good. He could ensure she was on time every day. Even though she thought that


    way, Rose decided to wake up five minutes early in the future. It has been an arduous task for Tom so


    far.


    Rose suddenly asked, “Tom, can I ask you a rather impolite question?”


    Tom had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He wanted to tell Natalie not to ask the question if it sounded


    rude. In the end, he muttered, “Miss Natalie, please go ahead.”


    Rose asked bluntly, “Why did your mother name you Tom?”


    Tom exined straightforwardly, “My mother despised my father’s looks. When I was born, she did not


    want me to take after my father’s looks, so she named me after the most famous handsome actor she


    could think of, Tom.”


    Rose was surprised by this practice. She thought, “Well, based on Tom’s features, his name clearly


    showed that he took after his father’s genes.”


    Tom smiled and earnestly asked, “Miss Natalie, did you think my name didn’t suit my appearance?”


    Rose said against her will, “No, no, how can that be? A name is just a name. You’re not bad-looking.


    Everyone’s aesthetic sense is different.”


    Sure enough, people liked to hear good things, regardless of their social status. Tom immediately


    smiled after hearing that.


    When Rose arrived at the hospital, she realized that her phone was not with her. It was still with Frank!


    She woke upte that morning and was in a hurry, so she forgot to retrieve her phone from Frank’s


    room. Frank had a habit of sleeping in and basically would not wake up that early in the morning.


    After thinking about it, Rose used thendline to call Frank. On the first attempt, there was still no


    answer. She called the second time, but there was still no answer. Rose looked at the time and saw


    that she had five minutes before work started. She continued to call.


    The call was picked up on the fifth attempt. Frank’s tone was very unkind. His voice was hoarse. Frank


    said, “Hey, speak.”


    Rose immediately replied, “Frank, send my phone to the hospital when you wake up.”


    An impatient voice replied. “Can’t youe and get it yourself this morning? I’m going back to sleep.


    We’ll talk after I wake up.”


    Rose was speechless. Frank did not have such an arrogant attitude when he tried to borrow her phone.


    She said, “Frank, that’s not right. You can’t act like this. You’ll only wake up in the afternoon. I know it! I


    need my phone before then.”


    Frank replied, “Then go home and get it yourself tonight.”


    Rose responded patiently, “Frank, one should ce things back after


    using them. Where’s your credit? Where’s your credit? Do you still want to use my phone in the


    future?”


    Frank snapped, “Go work. Stop talking nonsense. I’m going back to bed.”


    Rose was speechless.


    Two hourster, Frank had his bodyguards send Rose’s phone to her at the hospital.


    Rose was stunned when she received the phone as it was in a sealed bag. It was simr to the


    evidence bag used by the police.


    For a moment, she felt like she was dead.


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    When the bodyguard handed the phone to her, he exined, “Miss Natalie, this is your phone. Mr.


    Roberts said that I’m only responsible for delivering the phone. My fingerprints can’t appear on the


    phone.”


    Rose took the phone. She understood the situation. After the bodyguard left, she checked the phone


    carefully. Then, she turned on WhatsApp and found that there was nothing unusual with her device.


    She kept the phone. She was very puzzled. Why did Frank take her phonest night?


    Was it to look at Ava’s photos?


    She was too busy at work to ponder over such things.


    At the Wilson’s residence, Rachel and Natalie were still in the living room. Trevon was also chatting


    with his grandfather in the study.


    Rachel’s personality was cold, to begin with. She is somewhat simr to Trevon yet expresses herself


    differently.


    However, Rachel is not arrogant. Trevon is arrogant and prideful. It was already not easy for Rachel to


    say those words to Natalie today.


    Natalie thought Rachel probably wanted harmony in the family too.


    Natalie’s thoughts were interrupted whenughter came from the door. Before she saw her, she heard


    her voice. His voice was filled with joy as he eximed, “Today is a good day. You’re all busy. Finish


    your work.”


    The person directed the servants, acting like the mistress of the house, her mannerism high and


    mighty.


    Rachel knew who it was from her voice, but she did not care at all. She could not care less. Rachel did


    not even raise her head to look and


    focused on helping her grandson with his Lego.


    However, Natalie could not ignore the person who came. After all, she was the young one out of the


    group and had to put on a pretense even if she was an unwilling party. Otherwise, she would be


    criticized and embarrass Rachel and Trevon.


    After being together with Trevon, she had more things to consider than when she was single. They


    were now living in the same household. Natalie raised her head and greeted politely, “Little Aunt.”


    Emily held Max’s hand intimately. Max has not been spending time with Emily and used the excuse of


    being busy. This made Emily anxious.


    He took the initiative to mention the registration of marriage to Peggy. He even told her that today was


    an auspicious day. Peggy immediately agreed after hearing it. This was beyond Emily’s expectations.


    Emily was scared that the longer she waited, the more uncertain things would be. As long as they


    registered their marriage, things were more or less in ce. It did not matter when they got engaged.


    She was nervous as long as their marriage was not registered. If Max were to be seduced by another


    woman one day, she would lose out big time. It was better to get it done as soon as possible. After


    registration, she would be a legitimate young matriarch of the family.


    Emily held the marriage certification and proudly addressed Natalie, “Sister-inw.”


    Emily was unwilling to do so. She thought it was a bad idea. She previously addressed Natalie as


    “sister” but had to address her as “sister-inw” going forward.


    Natalie was not blind. How could she not see the marriage certificate in Emily’s hands? Of course, she


    knew that Emily had deliberately held it. If she did notment on it, she would make Emily


    disappointed.


    Natalie congratted the couple casually. She was sincerely congratting them. After all, the two


    contributed to society by being together. “Congrattions on registering your marriage.”


    Emily epted Natalie’s blessing. She held Max’s hand and sat on the sofa. Just as she was about to


    say something, she saw another marriage certificate on the coffee table.


    She thought that Natalie was also going to remarry today. She smiled and


    said, “Sister-inw, did you and Big Brother remarry today too?”


    Peggy was stunned. Remarry? When did they get a divorce? Why didn’t they know?


    Peggy was shocked at the news and raised her voice to exim, “You two got divorced and


    remarried?”


    Back then, she thought that she was divorced. That was why she told Emily and the others that Trevon


    had nothing to do with her anymore. Now, it seemed that she couldn’t hide the situation any longer.


    Natalie said, “See for yourself.”


    Throughout the entire process, Rachel ignored the three of them. Max thought that Natalie looked good


    again today. After taking a few nces, he recalled what Rachel had said over a meal previously. He


    had no choice but to look away reluctantly.


    As she was in a good mood today, Emily did not notice Max’s gaze on Natalie periodically.


    Emily was only curious about what Natalie meant. When she went to the hospital with her father to beg


    Natalie, Natalie insisted that she had divorced. At that time, Emily thought that Natalie was a fool.


    Emily passed her marriage certificate to Max and reached for Natalie’s on the table to check. After


    ncing at the date on the document, she widened her eyes and looked at Natalie, who was sitting


    calmly. “Aren’t you divorced? Why isn’t the date of marriage today?”


    ‘Has it been two years already?’


    Peggy quickly took the marriage certificate from Emily’s hand and checked it. After reading it, she


    red at Emily unhappily and barked, “What nonsense are you talking about?”


    Since the matter was already cleared, Natalie did not want to speak further. It was so quiet as if this


    matter had nothing to do with her. You guys can solve the case yourselves.


    Rachel stopped what she was doing and reprimanded Emily. “You’re always making a fuss. You can’t


    bear to see your sister-inw and brother getting along, right? Why do you have tobel her as a


    divorcee? Didn’t your mother teach you to think before you act? Your mouth is always faster than your


    brain. If you continue in your ways, you need note to the Wilson’s residence anymore.”


    Hearing this, Natalie changed her mind. She felt that Rachel wasn’t cold. toward her. She only showed


    her gentleness and protectiveness for the people she cared about.


    Peggy red fiercely at Emily. It was better to discipline her rather than leave it to Rachel. Peggy


    added, “Hurry up and thank Auntie Rachel for her guidance. Don’t listen to rumors in the future.”


    Peggy thought Natalie was incredulous. However, she thought there was more to it. Things could not


    be as simple as it seemed. Who knew what evil intentions she harbored?


    Emily grabbed her limited edition dress with one hand and apologized unwillingly, “I’m sorry, Sister-in-


    Emily initially thought that she could use this bitch to her advantage. To her, the son was Mr. Wilson’s


    descendant, but the daughter was not. She did not expect the daughter to be Hackett’s.


    She deliberately revealed this matter to Peggy, but she was scolded by Peggy instead. Peggy chided


    that Emily was stupid and could not even look into such a small matter properly.


    Who could she me? She had limited funds and could afford to hire. such a good detective.


    It was easier said than done.


    Natalie replied calmly and exined, “This certificate was indeed made up today. It’s just that the


    previous photo didn’t look too good. Trevon wanted to change his style, so he took a new photo. You


    should understand that it’s fashionable.”


    Emily thought, “I don’t understand. Are you guys bored out of your mind? A marriage certificate couldn’t


    have been changed that easily.”


    Peggyughed to ease the atmosphere and said, “Sister-inw, what a coincidence for Max and


    Trevon to register their marriage today. Oh, no, Trevon went to apply for a supplementary copy. This


    means that today is an auspicious day. Regardless, we should celebrate and let Mary make more


    dishes today.”


    She was nning to stay for lunch. There was a good reason for her to freeload.


    Rachel and Natalie did not say anything because Peggy would still stay regardless. They might as well


    save their breath.


    There was amotion on the second floor. It was Trevoning out of Theo’s study. Natalie looked


    in his direction and saw his somber expression. He had been reprimanded by Theo. She frowned


    slightly.


    Trevon walked straight down the stairs toward Natalie and naturally sat beside her before saying. “Are


    you eating here?”


    Rachel suggested, “Eat before you leave.”


    Natalie would not object. She had to stay as Rachel had protected her and said. “Eat before you


    leave.”


    It could also be considered her first meal after Natalie got her


    supplementary marriage certificate. She was just irked that there were some unimportant people


    around.


    The hostility on Trevon’s face disappeared. He held her hand and rubbed. it. Then, he ced the


    marriage certificate that was on the table into the pocket of his suit.


    It leaned on his chest and hid in his heart.


    The next moment, Trevon casually yed with Natalie’s fingers and stared at Emily before saying,


    “Miss Foster, shouldn’t you apologize to my wife?”


    Everyone present was puzzled by the sudden question. What was wrong?


    Peggy had a motive for bringing her son here today. Of course, her intentions were still the same as


    before. “Trevon. Emily has already apologized just now. She also thought that the two of you were


    divorced and remarried today. However, she had already apologized just now.”


    Trevon nced sideways at Natalie. Whether they were divorced or married, it was always a hush-


    hush event. “Auntie Peggy, your daughter-inw is quite capable.”


    Peggy realized that Trevon’s tone was very unfriendly. She felt that things were not as she initially


    thought. She asked carefully, “Trevon, did Emily do something?”


    Trevon did not want to beat around the bush and said, “If you want to make your presence known


    online in the future, just let me know. I can make you famous, and I can also make you unpopr.


    Don’t you dare do such despicable things anymore! My wife doesn’t need you to invest in her and


    make her an online trending topic.


    As for why Trevon did not further deal with Emily himself, it was mainly because the scandal catalyzed


    the remarriage. The benefitspensated for the issue at hand.


    While others did not understand this, Emily understood it clearly. She felt uneasy. She had done it quite


    secretly.


    The negative press on Natalie had long been removed. However, it was not removed by Trevon. It was


    automatically deleted by the media when the proposal video was released.


    Nobody dared to offend Trevon.


    Rachel’s expression turned somber as she told Peggy, “If you can’t discipline your daughter-inw well,


    don’t bring her out to embarrass yourself in the future.”


    To show that she was not in the know, Peggy stood up and gave Emily, who was sitting beside her, a


    p. Max did not stop her and only looked at her indifferently. He had no intention of protecting Emily.


    Emily was caught off guard and pped. She covered her aching face and asked, “Mum, what are you


    doing?”


    Peggy ced her hands on her hips angrily. She was furious. After all, Emily had disrupted her n


    today. Peggy questioned, “What did you do to make your brother so angry?”


    Peggy hade to beg Trevon to let Max work in thepany today, using the marriage as an


    excuse. Now, there was no need to mention it. Emily was such a burden.


    Peggy wanted to chase Emily out of the family once her son was cured. She was ipetent and


    could ruin everything.


    Peggy was boiling.


    Rachel sat still and said, “Take her home to discipline her. Bring her out only when you’re done,”


    Emily was unhappy. Today was supposed to be a happy day. She was pped out of the blue. This


    bitch was the one who said that she was divorced. “I didn’t suggest her divorce. Natalie was the one


    who told me she was divorced. I only told the media the truth. What did I do wrong?”


    Everyone finally knew the reason for the matter. It turned out that the person who defamed Natalie


    online was none other than Emily. Why


    couldn’t Emily bear to see Natalie happy?


    The servants in the living room were infuriated. Natalie was polite and treated them well. She was not


    arrogant at all. It was clearly Emily’s fault and not Natalie’s.


    Peggy was so angry that she was trembling. This idiot, if you want to cause trouble, so be it. You didn’t


    clean your tracks and got caught. How embarrassing. Peggy intentionally showed her anger and


    roared, “You even brought this matter to the media? Is there something wrong with your brain? I’ll teach


    you a lesson when we get home.”


    After saying that, Peggy dragged Max out of the living room and headed for the main door of the


    Wilson’s residence. She would not be able to freeload like she initially wanted. She could not help Max


    today either.


    Emily followed behind with an aggrieved expression. Before she left, she red at Natalie with hatred.


    Natalie responded with a smile. She did not pity Emily. There must be something hateful about a pitiful


    person. Emily might have been happier if she was not obsessed with marrying a rich man.


    Emily was not good-looking, but she wasn’t ugly either. She was above average, but she was used to


    being a viin. It was difficult for her to turn over a new leaf
