Richest Mogul

Chapter 604 

After leaving the studio, Natalie went back to her apartment. She tried calling Kate repeatedly but received no answer. 

She figured Kate must have sensed something. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have insisted so strongly on her return. This was indeed problematic. 

Meanwhile, Jeremy came home early at Hughes Residence, before his usual time. 

Kate had already arrived and was sitting in the living room, waiting for them to come back. She wasn’t surprised to see Jeremy come back early. 

“Mom,” Jeremy greeted. 

Kate sighed and looked at Jeremy, who was sitting across from her. “Have some water first. There are a few things I want 

to ask you.” 

Her phone was beside her. She had multiple missed calls from Natalie. 

Jeremy took a few sips of water, then set down the glass and 

looked at Kate. 

“Is there something going on between you and Nath? Did she move out?” Kate asked directly. 

She had seen Natalie living in her pre–marriage apartment, which Kate and Natalie’s father, Damon Jakeman, had 

purchased. Natalie wouldn’t have moved out if nothing had 

happened between her and Jeremy. 

Natalie’s recent behavior had been off. She was adamant about going back to work. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Kate should have thought more deeply about the situation between Natalie and Jeremy then. 

Natalie and Jeremy had grown up together, so Kate was confident in Jeremy’s character. She had trusted him wholeheartedly with Natalie. 

However, Natalie and Jeremy seemed to have encountered some problems. As an observant elder, Kate knew she couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. 

Jeremy nodded solemnly. He said, “Mom, there’s been a 

problem between us. It’s my fault.” 

“Your fault?” Kate stared at Jeremy, a sense of unease 

creeping into her mind as she vaguely realized something was 

wrong. 

She knew Natalie well. If it weren’t something serious, Natalie 

would never have moved out. 

“A while ago, I had an affair with my secretary,” Jeremy 

admitted honestly. 

Kate’s expression changed as she stood up abruptly. She looked at Jeremy with disbelief. She thought she knew him well. “An affair? Jeremy, you had an affair? Nath only left home after discovering your affair, didn’t she?” 

“Yes.” 

コ 

Kate staggered slightly. She felt dizzy. “Do you not love Nath anymore? How could you be so foolish? You know she has zero tolerance for this. Are you planning to divorce her? Or did you force her to move out?” 

She ignored Natalie’s calls earlier, thinking it was just a minor disagreement between them. She had no idea Natalie was going through such a traumatic experience. 

“Mom, there’s no excuse for my affair, but I don’t want to divorce Nath. If you trust me, please let me explain everything. I’ll tell you the whole story,” Jeremy said sincerely. 

Kate’s head ached, and her eyes reddened as she looked at Jeremy. “Clarify the whole situation?” 

If Jeremy didn’t want a divorce, then it meant Natalie did. Kate knew Natalie well enough to understand that she couldn’t tolerate such betrayal. 

But she also wanted to know why Jeremy cheated. He once loved Natalie so deeply and promised to treat her well for the rest of his life. Yet, barely a year into their marriage, he betrayed her. 

Meanwhile, Skylar arrived at the restaurant first. She had bought fresh flowers and balloons on the way and had hired someone to help with decorations. 

The restaurant staff also helped out. What would normally take an hour to set up was done in just half an hour. 

After the staff left, Skylar looked around and nodded in 

approval. “Perfect birthday atmosphere,” she said.
