"If you can't sleep, go online and take down all the videos. I don't want Mommy to be on the front-page news tomorrow."
"Okay. I'll go handle it right now."
When Natalie came out from the Jennings', it was already one in the morning. Dean got her to stay but she refused. Dean was going to get married to Angela soon. Furthermore, Natalie hated Dean, but she needed his protection, so she could not express her hatred too obviously.
If she were to stay under the same roof with him, she was afraid that she would be annoyed to death.
She got Dean's men to send her back to her house in Bridgedale.
When she reached home, it was almost two in the morning. She did not have any urge to sleep. Her mother had sent her a few messages, asking her about her situation.
She called her mother.
"Mom, Dean only wants Tate Industries. He doesn't care for me as his daughter," Natalie felt unfair. "In his eyes, I'm only a tool for him to gain benefits. He is already seventy-three. Why is he still so interested in profit but not family?"
Natalie was stumped at that question. Dean, a 73-year-old man, already has one foot in the grave, yet she found no sincerity or compassion in him.
"Natalie, I was with him thirty years ago. I never met him after that." Mrs. Jennings hesitated for a while before saying, "Dean is extremely lustful, but... but he has a condition. I previously read a science paper that says people like him are usually easily mentally unstable.
"If you weren't in a tough spot, I wouldn't have asked you to look for him. I never thought that he did not become better even when he aged."
"Mom, you said that he has a condition, but this didn't affect him from having so many children. This meant that his condition isn't serious. How could he be mentally unstable?" A chill ran down Natalie's back.
"Natalie, you haven't been in a relationship. You don't understand. His condition is quite serious. If he was not willing to spend as much money on me, I would not have gotten together with him. He has many girlfriends
