Natalie turned to face her and grinned, signaling she was okay.
On the other hand, Susan snapped back into reality and laughed aloud. “That's great! Oh my, I'm so happy! I can't
believe he's dead! In fact, he died before me! My plan succeeded in the end! Hahaha!”
“You're right. Your plan didn't fail. So, what's with the tears?” Natalie asked.
Susan was stunned.
Tears? What does she mean? Am I crying?
Susan lifted her hands to touch her eyes and realized they were wet.
She was confused about what had happened and didn't understand the reason behind her tears.
She also wondered why there was an uncomfortable feeling forming in her heart.
Just when Susan was bewildered, Natalie's words sent her heart into a panic. “I guess you really don't have any

The truth is, Natalie knew that Susan had feelings for Harrison. If not, she wouldn't have reacted like so after
learning about Harrison's death.
After all, they had been together for two decades. They were like family to each other despite growing out of love.
“No, that's not possible. How could I have feelings for Harrison?” Susan was trembling. “That old man has a bad
temper. He was also stubborn and dominant! How could I ever fall in love with someone like him?”
Joyce crossed her arms. “Oh really? Then, tell me why you know so much about him?”
“We've been together for more than twenty years! How could I not understand him? Understanding him doesn't
mean I've developed feelings for him. I only married him for his money. Wait a minute, didn't you say he's dead?”
Susan stared straight into Natalie's eyes. “What about his inheritance?”
“Did you really think he'd still give you his inheritance after what you tried to do to him?” Joyce sneered. “Harrison
hired a lawyer to draft his will before he died. All of his inheritance was given to Nat and Jared.”
“He gave everything to you both?” Susan's expression darkened. “Why? Although I sought to harm him, I'm still his
lawfully wedded wife! How could he leave me with nothing? I should be the first in line to inherit his fortune. Natalie,
hand over what belongs to me now!” she roared.
Natalie let out a chuckle. “Yes, you were the next in line to inherit the fortune. However, that was the plan before he
drafted his will. He then drafted the official will before his death, and it specifically states that his inheritance would
be passed down to us. Similarly, a will is far more superior than natural succession, get it?”
“I don't understand whatever that means. I just want my money!” Susan screamed wildly.
If I'm left with nothing, how is Don going to survive?
“I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you can't have a single cent of it. The Smith family wouldn't have become what it is today
without my grandfather's help. Consequently, my Mom was in charge of the Smith family. So, the money is rightfully

How dare you think of inheriting our fortune? Dream on,” Natalie curled her lips and stated sarcastically.
Susan gave her a death stare when she heard her words.
Natalie wasn't afraid. “Oh, I almost forgot. You could have inherited my father's fortune if you avoided jail time.”
“What?” Susan's face went pale.
What does she mean by that?
“What do you mean?” Susan was enraged at this point. “It means Harrison drafted the will before he found out you
had an affair with Warren. The will clearly states that you'd received seventy percent of his inheritance while Jared
and I would inherit the remaining thirty percent. It happened on the second day of his hospitalization,” Natalie
answered indifferently.
Susan widened her eyes in shock. “That's impossible!”
Harrison prepared the will ready in advance and left seventy percent to me? That's impossible!
