Chapter 492
Internally, Annabelle had begun rejoicing. She was ecstatic that their affair had made such a commotion.
Natalie detested Jeremy. She wouldn’t be getting back together with Jeremy anytime soon.
Jeremy glared at Annabelle disdainfully, a stark contrast to how he gazed at Natalie. She could feel hatred radiating off him. Murderous intent gleamed in his eyes.
It was as though she were an embarrassment to him. When Annabelle realized that, her terror grew to new heights.
Jeremy scanned Annabelle coldly before asking, “Was this your doing?”
Annabelle’s heart skipped a beat. She tried to explain “No, of course not. How could I? I promised you that I’d be a good girl. I wouldn’t covet things I can’t have.”
“It better not have been you,” Jeremy stated coldly.
Annabelle dared not make eye contact with him. She was terrified that he would find out.
“Let’s head to the hospital first,” said Jeremy. He then turned to his bodyguards and ordered, “Keep your eyes on her. Make sure the operation is done.”
Annabelle lost her composure. She pleaded, “Mr. Hughes, do you have to do that? This is our child.”
Jeremy’s remained unfazed. He said, “It looks like you’re not a good girl at all. Don’t you know how I handle my enemies?”
When Jererhy thought of Natalie’s hate–filled gaze, the impulse to wring Annabelle’s neck rushed over him. In addition, he recalled Natalie’s determination when she asked for a divorce. It made his temples throb.
Skylar and Natalie arrived at the latter’s house an hour later. On the way, Skylar had called a lawyer friend of hers from high school. She helped produce a template for their divorce agreement.
Natalie didn’t want anything from Jeremy. She only wanted to get divorced as soon as possible.
The lawyer proposed that Natalie could use Jeremy’s affair to get a share of Jeremy’s assets.
After all, the Hughes family was wealthy. Jeremy had countless assets under his name. Natalie could live like a queen for the rest of her life if he agreed to a division of assets.
After hearing her suggestion, Natalie told Skylar, “I find Jeremy abhorrent and his money even more so. If I need money, I’ll make it myself. I just want to get a divorce with him as soon as possible.”
Skylar respected Natalie’s decision. In addition, she had a feeling about it…
“If Jeremy cheated on you for reasons beyond his control, would you forgive him? I mean, if he was seduced into this affair?”
Based on Annabelle’s current situation, the porcelain Vase she wanted them to repair must’ve been used on Jeremy. On top of that, someone had once asked her about it on Amazon and she had turned them down.
That person’s profile picture looked extremely similar to Annabelle’s Instagram profile picture.
Perhaps they were the same person.
Natalie forced a smile and answered, “No, I won’t forgive him. I don’t care what are the reasons behind it. The truth is that he cheated on me.

“Skye, you’ve gone through this before. Were you just as devastated as I am now when you found out about Christopher’s affair? I’m sorry I didn’t help you through it back then.”
Her relationship with Jeremy was similar to Skylar’s relationship with Christopher.
Natalie knew how much Skylar had sacrificed for Christopher and Amelia.
“Actually, it’s not the same. I stayed with Christopher out of habit and because I had promised him so. In high school, he pursued me relentlessly. I didn’t know what love was back then. I thought I liked him, but in reality, it had nothing to do with romance.
“On the other hand, you and Jeremy grew up together. The both of you have been in love for ages,” Skylar analyzed logically.
Perhaps because she had gotten over Christopher’s betrayal, Skylar could now reflect upon herself.
In addition, she could tell that Jeremy adored Natalie. As to their divorce…
Skylar believed that it wouldn’t be a breeze. Jeremy wouldn’t let her go easily.
Natalie grinned self–mockingly. She said, “The fact that we’ve grown up together means that the spark between us is gone. He disregarded me entirely when he tried to look for a spark with someone else. Perhaps he does love me still. However, I don’t want it.
