Chapter 290
At around three in the middle of the night, Natalie was in a deep sleep. when she was woken up by the ringing of her phone on the bedside. table.
Trevon leaned over and took Natalie’s phone to check. When Trevon saw that it was an anonymous number, Trevon hung up.
Just as Trevon put the phone back, the phone rang again. Trevon frowned and wanted to hang up again. Natalie propped up her upper body and narrowed her sleepy eyes. Natalie asked, “Who is it?”
Trevon replied unhappily, “I don’t know. It’s an unknown number.”
Natalie glanced sideways at the phone number. “It’s Emily.”
Trevon asked, “Are you going to answer it?”
“Block the call,” Natalie said.
Natalie thought that Emily was going to ask for her help again. Natalie didn’t want to talk about Harry’s arrest.
When a person makes a mistake, they should receive the punishment. they deserve. They should have expected the day to come before they make the mistake.
Trevon obediently hung up the phone. Then, Trevon blocked the call and lay down again. Trevon hugged Natalie’s soft waist and pulled Natalie into his arms. “Sleep a little longer, honey.”
Natalie was still half-asleep. She snuggled into Trevon’s arms and agreed. “Okay.”
Then, Natalie fell asleep again. Trevon kissed her forehead and murmured, “Natalie, I’ll handle everything. Just be happy from now on.”
When Natalie woke up again, it was because her phone was ringing again. Natalie didn’t know what was happening today, but her phone kept ringing. This time it was Sherri. Trevon was no longer on the bed. Noises were coming from the living room.
As soon as Natalie picked up the call, Sherri began speaking energetically. “Natalie, are you up? I’ve got big news, huge news. One is good, and the other is bad.”
Natalie rubbed her temples and yawned. “Which one do you prefer to say?”
Sherri paused for a moment. “Then I’ll give you the happy news first. Elena died last night. The news reported it. They said Elena fought with someone in prison and died.”
Elena died due to a fight?
What a joke. Was Elena that stupid? Elena had cherished her life very much.
Natalie did not believe that Elena would die just like that. “You’re joking, right?”
Sherri knew Natalie would not believe her. Sherri said affirmatively, “Look at the news later. It’s absolutely true. Am I crazy to joke with you. like this? I’m going to give you the bad news now. Can you take it? You won’t collapse, would you?”
“Can’t you think better of me? It’s early in the morning.”
Sherri apologized. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was rambling. It’s your scumbag dad. He was sentenced to death. There’s no news report on this. My brother told me. I thought I should tell you anyway. After all, as you said, he’s your DNA donor.”
Death sentence. Natalie was shocked awake by these words. Her head was buzzing, and Natalie felt suffocated. “Did they say why?”
Natalie’s heart clenched. Not because Harry had been sentenced but because Natalie had thought of the reason for the sentence. Natalie could hazard a guess.
Sherri said truthfully, “No, my brother said that the authorities had been. told to keep it quiet. I can only tell you that it’s the death penalty. Perhaps your husband knows.”
Natalie chatted with Sherri a bit more before hanging up. Natalie was in a daze and her palms were cold.
The more Natalie thought about it, the more terrified she became.
When Trevon walked in, he saw Natalie sitting on the bed in a daze with a pale face. Trevon walked over worriedly and frowned. “What’s wrong? You look so pale. We didn’t eat meat last night.”
Natalie rubbed her temples and yawned. “Which one do you prefer to say?”
Sherri paused for a moment. “Then I’ll give you the happy news first. Elena died last night. The news reported it. They said Elena fought with someone in prison and died.”

When Trevon walked in, he saw Natalie sitting on the bed in a daze with a pale face. Trevon walked over worriedly and frowned. “What’s wrong? You look so pale. We didn’t eat meat last night.”
Natalie didn’t cry. Natalie wrapped the blanket around herself and looked at the man tucking her loose hair behind her ears. Natalie asked, “Do you know?”
The sudden question confused Trevon. Trevon did not understand Natalie’s question. “What?”
Natalie said bluntly, “Elena is dead. Harry has been given the death
sentence.”
It was not normal for two things to happen in one night.
Hearing this, Trevon froze momentarily. How could it be so fast? Who revealed it to Natalie? Trevon gently caressed the top of Natalie’s head. “Who told you?”
Natalie was not stupid. She had seen the answer in his eyes, but Natalie still wanted to ask. “You did it?”
“Yes. Is it my fault? Harry is your father, and there’s no way to change. that. If you can’t do anything to him, I’ll do it. You don’t have to feel guilty, and you don’t have to feel conflicted,” Trevon admitted. Trevon did not intend to hide this from her, but he planned to hide the other matter. for the rest of his life.
Natalie was very calm. Natalie shook his head, indicating that she did not blame Trevon. “Can I know the reason? My mother…”
Trevon touched Natalie’s face and said, “Your mother died because of Elena. Elena has also received her retribution now. A life for a life. Elena had the motive to kill Emma from the start for the status she has now. Your grandparents died because of Harry and Elena’s conspiracy as well.
“They did it just to get everything from the Lopez family. Don’t be sad. If you want to cry, cry for a while.”
Natalie shook her head again, but tears were already flowing from the corners of her eyes. Natalie’s heart ached. Natalie had always known that her grandparents had perished in a car accident. Natalie had even suspected her mother’s death, but her grandfather had told Natalie that her mother had committed suicide because of depression. Natalie had investigated people with severe depression and believed it.
“No, Grandpa and the others won’t want me to cry. Grandpa wants me to live happily for the rest of my life.”
“Okay.” Trevon hugged her tightly, caressing Natalie as if she were a child
and cherishing Natalie like treasure.
When Natalie calmed down, Trevon repeated what Harry had said to him word by word. Natalie should know the truth.
However, in Trevon’s recount, Emma’s lover was eliminated.
Natalie would never go to Elena’s funeral. Natalie was not a saint to such
an extent.
Some people make mistakes that cannot be forgiven even if they die. People like Elena and Harry.
