Natalie picked up the call. She said, “Hello?”
Jeremy stared intently at Natalie. He relaxed his clenched jaw when she picked up. He said, “Nath, it’s time to go home.”
It was time for her to return to his side. He did not want things to continue spiralling out of his control.
Natalie’s eyes filled with tears. She questioned, “Home? Jeremy, haven’t you thought things through? Our home is gone. It doesn’t exist anymore.”
She had no idea how Jeremy could talk to her like nothing had happened. He pretended as though it had been but a nightmare.
However, it had happened.
“Jeremy, stop lying to yourself, alright? I can’t get over it. Can’t we have a peaceful separation? Don’t call me before you think things through,” Natalie pleaded. Tears slid down her face.
Only she knew the extent of agony she was going through. She would be in excruciating pain even if they got a divorce.
Jeremy’s face paled slightly, “Natalie, we’re not getting a divorce.
When Natalie heard that, helplessness gripped her. She bit her lip. Then, she insisted sternly, “I will never continue living with you. I can’t lie to myself. When I look at you or even think of you, I recall your betrayal and that affair. I don’t want to become a resentful wife. I’m set on divorcing you.”
Natalie hung up immediately after. She felt weakness overcome her the second she did so.
The empty dial tones reminded Jeremy that Natalie was about to slip

out of his grasp,
Austin saw Jeremy after talking to the director. There was a significant distance between them, and they couldn’t see one another’s expressions. However, as Austin turned to Jeremy, Jeremy also looked at him. Their eyes met, and hostility radiated from them.
Austin was calm. However, he was concerned for Natalie’s wellbeing.
He hadn’t expected Jeremy to find them here, but it was typical of him -indeed, he was a powerful man. If not, he wouldn’t have been able to find them.
It solidified Jeremy’s belief that Austin wanted Natalie for himself.
Jeremy pursed his lips tightly. He glanced at Austin’s number saved in his phone. Tristan had given it to him. He called Austin.
“Austin, I’m Jeremy Hughes.”
Austin raised a brow. He was surprised that Jeremy had his private number. He asked, “What’s up, Mr. Hughes?”
Jeremy threatened lowly, “I’m giving you three days to fire Natalie.
Austin stared straight at Jeremy and smiled. He stated, “Natalie is responsible and hardworking. She’s the best employee I’ve ever had in the past few years. I have no reason to fire her.”
“You’re trying to take my wife from me. Do you know what has happened to the men in Jipsburg who have tried to do so?” asked Jeremy.
He could destroy Austin’s life by lifting a finger.
However, he wasn’t going to lower himself to the point where he took action against an actor.
Austin remained unfazed. He said, “Nath is not an object. I cannot take her from you.”

Despite his attraction to Natalie, he knew he’d always be upfront
about his feelings. A public pursuit was inevitable but now wasn’t the right time.
“If you’ve got nothing else to say to me, I’ll be hanging up now, Mr. Hughes.”
Jeremy was surprised by Austin’s stubbornness. He chuckled lightly and warned, “Don’t do things you’ll regret.”
Then, he hung up. Many people didn’t know what was good for them.
Jeremy thought of Austin’s name, which he had made for himself in the entertainment industry. It was something to be proud of. He’d been powerful for too long, which had resulted in his arrogance.
Austin had forgotten how it felt to be the scum of the earth.
Jeremy called Tristan and instructed, “Find out what Austin has been up to recently. I want to ban him from the entertainment industry.”
