Tiana said, "Sure! Let's meet the day after tomorrow. I'll pick the restaurant. It's been forever since we last hung
out, and since Zoe isn't around, there will be just the two of us." Natalie replied, "Sounds good. I'll see you then."
After hanging up, Natalie lay down to sleep.
The next day, Natalie woke up early to have a seafood breakfast with her grandfather,
She was busy preparing for a fashion show and was determined to make this one a success. After all, she had
drifted away from her dreams for the past five years.
Lambert looked at her and said, "Natalie, you look great these days. Went out for sfun, did you? What's the
plan for today? | found a few cute guys. Want to go check them out tonight
Natalie choked a bit, laughing but also a bit embarrassed. "Grandpa, really? Can we not talk about that first thing
in the morning?"
"Why not? Or are you seriously interested in Maurice?" Lambert's eyes sparked with excitement.
Natalie sighed. She knew her grandpa must have seen the news from yesterday. She hadn't been following it
closely, but she figured Maurice would handle it. Vance's trending search would surely be countered by him. She
replied, "Grandpa, I'm actually preparing to get divorced. | can't talk to Mr. Chambers until after I'm officially
single.
Lambert understood.
After breakfast, he was dressed and ready to go out, slightly faster than Natalie.
She shook her head. Her grandpa had been looking for love for years and still hadn't found the right match. Just
how picky could he be?
Later, Natalie changed her clothes and headed to the office.
At Garcia Group, Easton had just arrived at the office when Xavier walked in, saying, "Mr. Garcia, Ms. Shawn's
grandpa is here. He wants to see you."

Easton suddenly recalled that old man. "Bring him up, quickly
Xavier looked at him, thinking, 'He's about to score points with her grandpa?
Xavier hurried downstairs to bring Lambert upstairs..
Lambert paid close attention to his appearance when he was out. He was wearing a light blue suit, looking sharp
and composed, oozing with an upscale aura.
As he looked at the scale of Easton's company, he scoffed. Sure, Easton had sskills, but Lambert didn't think
much of him. His granddaughter deserved better.
When Lambert arrived at Easton's office, Easton stood at the door to greet him. "Mr. Shawn," he said
respectfully, albeit quietly.
"Please, have a seat," Xavier said, smiling.
After Lambert sat down, he handed Easton a document. "Easton, I'll keep it short: this is the divorce agreement. |
hope you can sign it."

Easton frowned. Is the old-ayan here to forceinto a divorce lie wondered.
He confidently took a seat across from Lambert. "Mr. Shawn, | don't understand. Why do you wantto divorce
Natalie?
Lambert nearly choked on his words. "Why? Because you don't deserve her! You should marry someone like

"She pulled you out of the fire, and her back was burned badly. Do you have any idea how long she was in the
hospital? She would've given her life to save you."
He added, "When she got back to the Simpson family and recognized you, she agreed to marry you.
"You almost died and then got into a car accident, but she fought tooth and nail to save you, even forcingto

Easton, on the other hand, stared in shock his eyes wide.
"Grandpa, you're saying the one who savedfrom the fire was Natalie?" Easton's voice trembled, disbelief
etched on his face.
Lambert shot up, his anger boiling over. "Easton, | can't believe how shameless you are! My granddaughter

Easton sprang to his feet, almost in a panic. "Grandpa, | won't divorce her."
Lambert's face turned red in frustration. "What's the alternative My granddaughter nearly lost her life for you!

Before Easton could respond, Lambert pressed on, "Lettell you, even if you died, my Natalie wouldn't! All

Lambert stood there, taken aback. "Uh what just happened?" He glanced over at Xavier, bewildered. "Is your

Xavier was confused about what Lambert meant by "weak." He didn't really know if Easton was or wasn't, but
right now, the point was to find the guy who looked just like Easton He cautiously replied, "Mr. Slawn, | think you
might have pushed him a little too hard."
Lambert was fuming. "This is ridiculous! He's such a wimp. How can he be this soft? Natalie must be blind to like
him. What's the difference between him and a pile of garbage? "Look at Maurice! He's tall and has that perfect V-
shape girls love, with a solid six-pack abs. He walks with confidence.
"Even if a rock fell from the sky, it wouldn't knock him out. Thats the type Natalie likes! Didn't you see the gossip
from last night?"
Lambert glared at Xavier, who was still holding up Easton. Xavier shook his head, slightly confused.
Lambert's frustration peaked. "What does your head shaking mean?"
"Mr. Shawn, I'm not really sure what gossip you're talking about Xavier said, finding this old man strangely
endearing. He might be older, but he was fit and lively, radiating warmth.
"Last night, Natalie and Maurice were all over the news! How could you miss that?" Lambert grinned. "They're
such a perfect match, right? My Natalie is gorgeous, and Maurice is so handsome. SEND GIFT
