Zoe, the only daughter of the Murphy family, was raised by her family's huge fortune since she was young. But in real life, she is a hot-tempered person.

She is always in a hurry, and when she meets Henry, she will pinch him.

Fortunately, Henry has a car race today, so he is not here.

But she has always been afraid of Nathaniel since she was young.

Natalie nodded and smiled, "My brother will not eat you anymore."

Zoe pouted, "That's because you don't know how scary he is."

Who in this city doesn't know Nathaniel?

He has built his own business empire. Now 27 years old, his status in the business world is unshakable, and his way of doing things is called ruthless. Anyone who has experienced it for the first time will definitely not want to tease him a second time.

Right in front of Natalie, he played the role of a kind brother who loved his sister very much.

---

Nebula Nightclub is the largest bar in New York, and it is also an auction house. There will be a big auction tonight, and all the rich and famous will come.

Zoe leaned against the window, shaking her glass of red wine. When she saw the handsome man being led upstairs, she squinted her eyes slightly: "Natalie, Samuel is here too."

There was a woman beside him.

Natalie glanced at him, but did not say anything; her phoenix eyes were cold.

Samuel ran all the way from the capital. It seemed that today was really a special day.

Looking at the people passing by below, Zoe took out her phone and called the manager of the nightclub, talking about something.

After hanging up, she turned to Natalie and said, "There is a precious gem that will be auctioned tonight. If you like it, I will ask someone to keep it for you."

"No need." Natalie shook her head. She turned and walked out: "I'm going to see my brother."

When Nathaniel arrived, he met a friend who was talking about work elsewhere.

"Natalie?"

As soon as she went out, she bumped into a group of people. Hearing the man's suspicious shout, Natalie frowned and scolded herself: "What bad luck."

The woman was tall and thin, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, extremely exquisite, wearing a black velvet long dress, a black wool coat, high heels, all branded goods, extremely beautiful.

This was something he had never seen before.

Samuel frowned, his whole body cold: "Why are you here?"

Natalie tilted her head slightly and chuckled: "Why am I not here?"

"What a coincidence to meet you again." Lily, wearing a white, flowing dress, slender as a willow, smiled slightly and sighed: "Even if you divorced Samuel, you were once the young lady of the Morgan family; could it be that you were banished to this chaotic place just because of famous brands, just because of a difficult life?"

Is Natalie working as a hostess here? Drinking with customers? And this is how she wears famous brand clothes?

Samuel frowned even more solemnly: "Didn't I give you 2 billion already?"

Natalie looked at him for two seconds, then sighed, neither happy nor sad: "It seems you really forgot."

"Forgot what?" Samuel didn't understand what she meant.

"Nothing," Natalie sneered, "What I'm doing and where I am seems to have nothing to do with you. I didn't expect that on this narrow road, Mr. Morgan would bring his little lover to meet his ex-wife?"

She used to call him "Samuel"; her eyes were full of love.

Today, she called him "Mr. Morgan", so distant and cold, eccentric and harsh.

Samuel tried to suppress the inexplicable unease that rose from the bottom of his heart. He frowned, stepped forward, and warned in a low voice: "Natalie, Grandma still doesn't know about our divorce; her health is not good. You should restrain yourself, don't do things you shouldn't do." This offended the style of the Morgan family.

Natalie's eyes were dull; she raised her eyebrows, the corners of her lips curved into a cold and evil curve: "Mr. Morgan, you said we're divorced. What does your family's style have to do with you and me?"

"You..."

"Samuel."

The two of them were very close, and their voices were also low. Lily's eyes flashed, and she walked closer, speaking softly, her voice innocent: "Natalie was definitely forced, after all, she is a girl. She is divorced again, Samuel. Why don't you give her some more money?"

"Natalie." At this moment, a low voice sounded, and several figures walked over. The leader exuded a strong, cold, and unpredictable aura. This face often appeared on the front pages of major business newspapers, and everyone knew him.

Samuel was slightly startled, "President Nathaniel?"

Nathaniel didn't even look at him, let alone respond, just waved to Natalie: "Come here."

Natalie said, "Oh," and walked over.

"Is this Miss Natalie? I've heard of you for a long time, and today I met you, you're really pretty." The handsome young man following Nathaniel looked at her, smiled, extended his hand, and introduced himself intimately: "Hello, I'm Elijah. Nathaniel and I are business partners; we are just normal friends."

Natalie politely shook his hand: "Hello."

"Didn't I tell you not to talk to suspicious people?" Nathaniel tapped Natalie's forehead with his finger, took out a gold card from his pocket, gave it to her, and said meaningfully, "This is a gold card specially designed for you."

Natalie wrinkled her nose: "You've given me a few these days."

Three days ago, after returning home, she had gold cards, car keys, house keys, and all sorts of things piled up.

Nathaniel stuffed the card straight into his sister's coat pocket: "There's no limit to this."

His voice was gentle, but he was clearly talking to the people opposite.

Lily had just finished talking about Natalie's downfall because of money when suddenly her face turned ugly, and she slowly clenched her five fingers.

Samuel didn't give the gold card to her.

Samuel looked at this admiring look, and thought of Natalie getting into the luxury car on the day of the divorce, his mind turned, his eyes revealed a sarcastic look: "No wonder this divorce is so simple, it turns out you have found a new love, the Brooks family in New York. Young Master Nathaniel is indeed a strong candidate."

"What?" Elijah was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Miss Natalie and President Nathaniel are not..."

"Is Mr. Morgan allowed to find new love, but I'm not allowed to?" Natalie interrupted him, looking at Samuel with a cold gaze.

Elijah naturally knew Samuel. Seeing this scene, he suddenly thought of something, touched his nose, closed his mouth, and said nothing.

"Natalie, I heard your voice..." Zoe heard voices outside the door, opened the door, and saw a group of people in the hallway. Her words suddenly stopped, her eyes swept over Samuel and Lily, curled her lips in disdain.

She said to Natalie and Nathaniel, "Big brother, Natalie, the auction is about to start, come in quickly."

Seeing Natalie about to enter the private room, Samuel wanted to call her back to say something, but was interrupted by Lily acting spoiled: "Samuel, didn't you say you wanted to give me that pearl? Hurry up, or else it will be snatched away by someone."

"Wait a minute."

But the nightclub door closed.

Samuel stood there, staring at the door. The pressure in his body dropped, and his eyes darkened.

Lily secretly gritted her teeth, scolding Natalie for being divorced. She had a new love, the noble young master Nathaniel, but still seduced Samuel.

-

Inside the nightclub.

Elijah looked at Nathaniel, then looked at Natalie, and hesitantly said: "Aren't you two siblings?"

"It's nothing."

Looking at his eyes, one could guess what he was thinking. Natalie rolled her eyes, then returned the gold card to Nathaniel: "I don't lack money."

She wasn't exactly a fool; marrying Samuel was really giving up everything.

Nathaniel didn't force her.

Elijah was ignored. He touched his nose, feeling that the mysterious young lady of the Brooks family, finally appearing at this time, was really interesting.

Natalie turned to Zoe and asked, "What number will the other gem appear?"

This gem is at the bottom. Since it is a natural gem, the starting price is 100 million.

"200."

Hearing the voice from the person sitting next to her, Zoe's expression became strange. She asked Natalie: "Do you want me..."

Natalie sat there, her eyes downcast, playing with her phone, but she didn't see anything unusual.

Nathaniel paused his conversation with his friends, handed her the cup of milk that the waiter had just brought in: "Do whatever you want, I'm here, you can play whatever you want."

"Big brother..." Zoe curled her lips: "This is my territory, do you want to steal my lines?"

Nathaniel glanced at her, carrying an invisible coercion: "You can say it again."

Zoe: "..."

Well, other than Natalie, no one can feel this gentleness.

This gem still attracts a lot of people; moreover, there are a lot of rich people.  In less than half an hour, the price had reached hundreds of millions.

"500 million."

The voice rang out from the next room again.

"I just asked someone to check." Zoe pulled Natalie into a corner and said in a low voice, "I heard that Lily, who fell into the sea seven years ago to save Morgan Samuel, left behind an illness; her body was cold and weak. Samuel arranged this precious gem for her."

"Really?" Natalie looked calm, seeing that no one dared to compete with Samuel anymore. The bell was about to ring, she raised her hand to press the price increase bell next to her, her red lips pursed slightly, and a cold and rude voice came from outside. The voice came from the speaker, echoing clearly in the ears of everyone in the nightclub.

"2 billion."

"This voice..." It sounded familiar. Caleb Simmons was slightly startled, turned his head to look at Samuel: "Why does it look like Natalie?"

He and Samuel grew up in the same neighborhood, and they met there.

 Samuel held the cup tightly, his expression gloomy: "It's Natalie."

Caleb opened his mouth, and he subconsciously glanced at Lily sitting beside him, momentarily not knowing what to say.

He had always known that Samuel had a lover named Lily, but that year, because the old lady of the Morgan family forced him, he agreed to marry Natalie. In recent years, Natalie was both elegant and dignified, both inside and out beautiful; her appearance was peerless, worthy of being Samuel's wife.

A few friends in the group also advised him not to divorce, but it was all in vain.

Lily bit her lip: "Samuel..."

Samuel's original budget for this jade pendant was 1 billion, and 500 million was already too high. It wasn't worth buying it now, but looking at Lily's cold expression, he thought that she was like this because of him.

Samuel frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "2.5 billion."

"3 billion."

In less than a second, a voice from the next room rang out.

 "It seems like Natalie..." Caleb promptly changed his tone, smiling meaningfully: "She wants to fight you, Samuel."

"3.5 billion." Samuel ignored him and just coldly said.

"4 billion."

"4.5 billion."

"5 billion."

This time, there was no sound until the gong rang.

Zoe sneered: "He is willing to do it for her; Lily is worth that much money."

Soon, someone brought the pearl, Nathaniel handed over the payment card, but was stopped by Zoe: "I'll give this little thing to Natalie to play with, so as not to bother you."

Nathaniel glanced at her, said nothing, and just took back the card.

Natalie only felt that this place was noisy and boring, and did not bother to look at the pearl anymore, turned around and walked out: "I'm going out to get some fresh air."

Nathaniel frowned: "Natalie..."

"I'm going." Zoe took the warm gem and went out. They were all girls, and some things were always easy to talk about.

At the end of the corridor.

Natalie leaned against the window, the cool night breeze blowing, talking to someone on the phone.

Another group of people wanted to beat gongs, drums, and blow trumpets, and hold a party to celebrate her divorce.

She curled the corner of her mouth and said, "Forget it."

After hanging up the phone, she turned around and saw Samuel standing not far away, not knowing when he had arrived.

 Broad shoulders and slim waist, his face under the incandescent lamp was handsome like cast iron, his whole person exuded a majestic aura, his breath was cold.

The woman had bright eyes, white teeth, exquisite features, beautiful as a painting. Every plastic surgeon was excellent, a little mocking.

Four eyes met, silent.

"Samuel," The voice was as gentle as a ghost followed. Lily slowly walked over, grabbed Samuel's sleeve, glanced at Natalie: "Have you told her?"

Samuel suddenly sobered up, but he raised his head to look at Natalie's cold, star-like black eyes, and suddenly he was a little silent when the words just came out of his mouth.

Lily saw this, secretly gritting her teeth, tried to suppress the jealousy in her eyes, and said to Natalie, "Natalie, that pearl is very important to me. Can you return it to me?"

"Return it? Return it to you?"  Zoe finally couldn't hold it in anymore and walked out from the darkness, smiling mischievously: "Hey, girl, did you just ask for the price or did you pay?"

"I..." Lily shrank her neck, immediately hiding behind Samuel, and shouted in fear: "Samuel."

That voice made Zoe shiver, goosebumps all over, "Hey, can we talk frankly?"

Lily's face suddenly turned red.

"Natalie," Samuel frowned. The warmth just now disappeared immediately. He took out his bank card from his jacket pocket and said in a low voice: "That precious gem is useless to you, but it is to Lily. Help me, here is 5 billion, give it to me."

No wonder she had to ask for the price. That was the original idea.

"Mr. Morgan really wants to buy it," Zoe sneered, "If you can't bargain, then you'll have to buy it yourself. Your little lover is only worth this much."

Where did this woman come from?

 Lily gritted her teeth, tears welled up, and said with grievance: "Natalie, even if Samuel only gave you 2 billion when we divorced, there was compensation from the family. Moreover, you have another man to take care of you."

Zoe heard this and frowned, and asked Natalie: "He gave you 2 billion?"

Natalie. "Ah."

Zoe frowned slightly, her eyes showing obvious disgust: "So you want that money, don't you think it's dirty?"

Natalie snorted coldly: "It's also money, right?"

The two spoke together, their words and phrases clear, filled with endless sarcasm.

"Miss Zoe," Samuel's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Our personal matters seem to have nothing to do with you."

"Who said..."

"Where is the pearl?"

Zoe was about to refute when Natalie reached out her hand.

Zoe frowned: "You won't..."

"Give it to me." Natalie's tone was unable to refute.

Zoe glanced at her, finally sighed, took out the pearl from her pocket, and gave it to her: "Have you decided?"

A stream of warmth spread from her skin to her limbs as she held the pearl, extremely comfortable.

Natalie approached Samuel, spread out her slender arms, the pearl lay still in her hand, the corners of her lips curved slightly, and asked calmly: "You want this pearl, right?"

 Samuel frowned, always feeling that after the divorce, Natalie seemed to be a different person, bright and confident, even her temperament became stronger, and her tongue also became sharper.

"Samuel." Lily called softly, constantly reminding Samuel, "With this pearl, my body is no longer afraid of the cold."

Samuel regained his spirit, one hand held out the card, the other hand took the pearl: "I will find an opportunity to tell grandma, with this 5 billion, you live well, and you..."

"You want it, but I didn't say I would give it to you." Samuel was about to take the pearl, but Natalie suddenly took her hand back.

Samuel frowned: "5 billion is more than enough to buy this pearl, enough for you to live a comfortable life."

"Natalie," Lily also frowned. She didn't know what Natalie was up to, but she wanted to buy this precious pearl. She bit her lip and said, "Listen, even though you're divorced and have fallen to this point, Samuel still cares about you. For you, when you proposed to him, even though he didn't like it, he still married you, and now you don't want to give up a pearl?"

Natalie's throat was filled with a low, unwarm smile, making people's hair stand on end: "This pearl is really useless to me, but..."

She raised her head, looked into Samuel's sword-like eyes, slowly raised her hand that was holding the pearl, and threw it to the ground.

The pearl shattered into pieces right before everyone's eyes.

No one expected her to be like this; everyone was surprised.

 Samuel's expression changed: "Natalie, what are you doing?"

This time, even Lily couldn't help it; her eyes widened in surprise: "Natalie, are you sick? If you don't need it, why don't you let someone else buy it?"

Natalie tilted her head slightly, smiling and saying, "I like it like this."

"You..." Samuel's expression was unsightly. Why didn't he realize that Natalie was so capable and resilient before?

Lily didn't expect her to be so cruel, not daring to say: "This is 5 billion."

"Isn't it just 5 billion?" Natalie laughed disdainfully, clapping her hands lazily: "I can buy a dozen."

After speaking, she walked straight between the two.

Not far from the door of the room, Nathaniel and Elijah stood there, witnessing the scene just now.

Elijah looked at her blankly, and after a long while, he exclaimed: "Miss Natalie... she's amazing."

Nathaniel smiled, looking at his sister. "Very good."

 Zoe came back to her senses, stunned. She thought Natalie was going to sell the pearl to Samuel, but...

Natalie finally stood up after falling.

Zoe looked very happy and relieved.

When she passed Lily, she paused for a moment and said calmly, "Not every woman lives by stealing other people's husbands. That's for sure." She glanced at Samuel from the corner of her eyes, sneering contemptuously, "You can be robbed. A man like you is definitely not a good person."

She scolded both of them.

Before Samuel could say anything, Lily couldn't help but say: "Who are you, daring to scold Samuel? Do you know who Samuel is?"

"Compare status?" Zoe raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Do you know the Murphy family?"

 Lily, of course, didn't know, but this time she came to New York because she said she was unwell and begged for a long time before Samuel brought her here, but she didn't want to be embarrassed, so she said, "It has nothing to do with me." 

Zoe's smile grew brighter, but no matter how she looked at it, she was ridiculed: "Mr. Morgan, don't you know?"

Samuel's face was unsightly, and his voice seemed to come out through his teeth: "Your last name is Murphy?"

"What's wrong with Murphy?" Lily snorted coldly.

"Not really, it's just," Zoe approached, bent down, and said coldly: "My last name is Murphy, and this bar is my family's."

After Lily understood what she meant, she immediately remembered what she had just said, her fingertips clenched, her face red.

Zoe stood up straight and left. From afar came a sneer: "So the heir of the Morgan family in the capital is blind."

Natalie. Bastard.

How could an abandoned woman have such a powerful friend?

Lily's nails dug into her palms, her eyes filled with resentment, but she quickly regained her composure. Fortunately, no one in this world knew the truth. At this rate, Samuel would forever feel guilty because of her.

 Hearing himself being scolded, Samuel clasped his fingers together, his thick eyelashes drooped down, his handsome face, like jade, showed no joy or anger, and his breath was a little low: "Oliver."

"Yes." Oliver had always followed Samuel.

Samuel said, "Take her back."

"She" here clearly referred to Lily.

Oliver lifted his lower eyelids; his eyes were cold: "Miss Lily, please."

"Samuel..." Lily didn't want to leave, but when she saw Samuel's cold expression, she thought of the embarrassing scene just now. She bit her lip, turned around, and left.

Only Samuel was left standing in the same place; Caleb walked over: "Samuel, I feel that this girl Lily is really not even half as good as Natalie."

Samuel raised his head, his expression was firm, his expression was cold: "She saved me."

"That was so many years ago, can't you see her scheming appearance?"  Caleb squinted his eyes: "It's been many years since you've been out; you can't be so stupid."

"Alright." Samuel interrupted him, walked to the window, and lit a cigarette. In the hazy green mist, his expression was gloomy and incomprehensible: "Our divorce, please keep it a secret."

His thoughts were inherently difficult to guess. Caleb sighed: "It can be hidden for a while, but not for a lifetime, let alone..." He played with the lighter, chuckled: "Lily is eager to become the young mistress immediately, the whole world knows. Um, maybe tomorrow your grandmother will know too."

This direction just happened to be outside the downstairs. Nathaniel opened the car door for Natalie to get in. Closing the door, he walked to the driver's seat.

Samuel looked at him through the space, clearly feeling the warning, slightly frowning. Nathaniel was famous in the business world, but for so many years, Samuel had never seen a woman beside him.  It had only been a few days; how could Natalie do that? There was also the young lady of the Murphy family beside him. His mood slightly sank, he brushed off the cigarette ash, hid the emotions in his eyes, and calmly said, "I have my own arrangements."

-

The car did not return to Brooks's house but went to a high-end villa.

"The living facilities are complete; you can set your own fingerprint and password later." Nathaniel handed her a key card, his voice gentle: "If you find this place deserted, just go to Wall Street, don't come home for a few days."

"I know." After hearing that, Natalie was helpless: "It's not that I'm weak."

"You are very strong." Zoe followed, arrogantly saying, smiling, and reassuring: "I'm still here, don't worry."

Nathaniel was relieved, nodded, and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the capital to discuss business; your second brother will be back in two days."

"Brother," Natalie frowned and asked, "Are you talking about the Ravenport Chamber of Commerce on the south side of town?"

This is the Brooks family's chamber of commerce, which controls the entire New York area's commercial economy.

This time, the business is with Global Axis Corporation.  The largest shareholder of Global Axis is the Morgan family, the most powerful family in the capital.

Samuel's Morgan family.

Nathaniel looked at Natalie, frowning slightly: "You..."

"Brother," Natalie pursed her lips, the corners of her eyes shining coldly, "I want to go too. I have to pay my debts."

Nathaniel sighed, agreeing.
