Chapter 570
“I see, then I’ll wait for you in the courthouse.” Natalie cast a sideways nce at the courthouse.
Yulia nodded. “Alright”
Natalie was about to look for a seat to wait when a breathy voice called out to her from behind. “Nat?”
Her good mood instantly vanished upon hearing that voice. She pursed her lips and turned around to see
Harrison standing nearby, smiling at her.
Standing beside him was Susan, who was ring at Natalie as though thetter had done something
unforgivable.
Natalie could not care less about Susan’s thoughts. As such, she merely spared Susan a nce before
she proceeded to ignore her. She then focused her gaze on Harrison.
Maybe I’m imagining things, but Harrison seems slightly older than thest time I saw him.
Susan probably had an ugly fight with him after Shane and I left Jasmine’s funeral.
Natalie smiled at her own thought.
Harrison thought she was shing him a smile, so he straightened his back to appear taller.
Seems like this brat hasn’t given up on returning to the Smith Residence.
Harrison gave Natalie a kind smile at that thought. “Nat, what are you doing here?” His tone was gentle.
Natalie rolled her eyes at him inwardly. She replied with a cold tone, “Today is the day you and Mom go
to court. As her daughter, it’s only natural that I’ll attend the hearing.”
Harrison was rendered speechless by herment.
Susan clung to his arm and said impatiently, “Enough. Let’s head in.”
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
“What’s the rush?” Harrison’s face darkened as he withdrew his arm from Susan’s grasp.
Ever since Jasmine’s funeral, I can’t bear to even look at her now.
So it doesn’t matter whether we’re in a private or public venue, I don’t think I have the need to care for
her reputation any further.
Watching their interactions, Natalie could guess that their current rtionship was quite tense. She
scoffed, “Do you have anything else you want to talk to me about? If there’s isn’t, then please stop
bothering me. I’m waiting for someone.”
Harrison exhaled a long sigh with a mncholy expression. “I assumed you already know the reason for
today’s court hearing between your mom and me, am I right?”
“Yes. It’s for Jared’s custody.” Natalie fixed her cold gaze at him.
Susan balled her hands into fists at Natalie’s reply, which did not go unnoticed by thetter.
Natalie’s eyes glinted.
It looks like Susan has the same opinion as us. She doesn’t want Jared to return to the Smith Residence.
But I guess that makes sense. Despite Harrison going bankrupt, they would still have some cash left. If
Jared were to return, then he would be the sessor. Naturally, Susan doesn’t want that to happen.
Unaware of the tension between Susan and Natalie, Harrison put on a troubled look on his face and
said, “Right. After Jasmine passed away, I only have you and Jared left. If I don’t fight for the custody of
one of you, who will be the sessor to my wealth?”
Hearing that, Natalie took another nce at Susan.
As expected, Susan’s face had twisted at his remarks. Natalie felt a sense of glee, but she kept up a
mask of indifference. “Mr. Smith, it seems to me that Susan doesn’t agree with you.”
Susan was stunned as she didn’t expect Natalie to put her on the spot like that.
As a result, Harrison managed to catch her twisted expression that she didn’t manage to mask in time.
He narrowed his eyes at her. “She can’t do anything about it. The wealth is mine, so I can choose who I
want to give it to.”
“Harrison, how dare you!” Susan yelled, “I will never agree for you to give all your money to that bastard
child!”
Bastard child?
Natalie’s face darkened. “Susan, you’d better watch your mouth. If Jared is a bastard child, then what
about your children? They’re the illegitimate ones here. Don’t you think your kid would suit the bastard
title more?”
It was obvious that Natalie’s words had some other meaning to it.
Susan was shocked, and panic crossed her eyes. “What nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean
by my kid being illegitimate? I am married to your dad, so Jas was hiswful child.”
