Though the remaining kidnapper was currently overseas, Natalie had her eye on him. She was determined to find the person no matter what means necessary.The private investigator reported, "I've essentially determined the general direction. I'm narrowing down the search now. Rest assured, there won't be any mistakes."This implied that the kidnapper was likely surrounded by the private investigator's people.Natalie finally felt a bit relieved in her heart. Taking a deep breath, she said, "You're doing well. Time is of the essence.""Don't worry."The voice on the other end sounded confident.After hanging up the phone, Natalie felt her world calm again. She didn't want to do this and even disdained to do it all. But since those people insisted, she had no choice but to be ruthless!-After Natalie informed Stephen about everything, everything was overturned in an instant as she had expected!When Cedric came to pick her up after work in the evening, Natalie stood before he
Natalie said, "Whether I hide well or not is none of your concern! But you... It's best if you try harder to hide it better!"Cedric was not someone to be trifled with. If he found out that his people had contacted Isabella without his orders, it would be a serious matter.Yuvan's expression changed at her words."Ms. Walker, don't you think you're too selfish?" he retorted."Oh?""She's your sister. Don't you think you're being too harsh on her? Because of you, she's had a tough time until now."Natalie understood now. The fact that her father's inheritance was all left to her and was no longer a secret around Cedric. And Isabella was indeed good at playing the pitiful victim card."It seems a cup of coffee isn't enough; get out!""You...""Get out!" Natalie didn't want to continue looking at Yuvan. If he stayed, she was afraid she might lose control.Ever since she learned about Isabella's identity, she detested people saying that Isabella was her sister. It was an in
"Cedric, she's dead! Do you understand?!" As Isaac finished speaking, he instantly erupted in anger. This was the first time Cedric had seen Isaac this angry. His heart tightened at the sight.He had to admit that an easy-going person like Isaac was only that way because no one had crossed the line with him.But now, things were different. The person he had been searching for all these years, the person he had never let go of...She was dead, and Isaac had gotten the news in the worst possible way.There was a dangerous glint in Isaac's eyes. There was no trace of the cheerfulness that usually lined his face. There was only an endless coldness."Isaac, I know you're upset, but I don't know what to tell you right now!"There was a lot to be said about this matter right now. However, there was nothing Cedric could say until his investigation was complete.The only thing he could do for now was to say nothing.Isaac's face hardened."Are you still protecting her?"Was he r
After Natalie said that, Yuvan and Queenie's expressions changed.Cedric stood stiff in place. Then, the door was closed, shutting out the outside world. However, it felt like there was a storm in his heart. He was unable to calm down for a long time.Natalie was truly extraordinary in her arrogance!Cedric closed his eyes, covering the conflicting emotions in his eyes. Cedric didn't want to think about it. If things were as what Isaac had uncovered, would Cedric end up killing Natalie with his own hands?Isabella was Ivan's sister.Putting aside everything else at the moment, Isabella needed the best care. And she was also Natalie's sister. If Natalie really was behind everything, she...!Before, a voice in his heart had constantly told him not to blame her, no matter what Natalie was like. Don't let go of her hand. Accept her!But now, that voice was completely covered by his anger and despair. What if Natalie turned out to be that kind of person?What would he do
The comforting aura emanating from the man always unconsciously made Natalie feel at ease. At some point, she drifted into a deep sleep in the passenger seat.Upon arriving at their destination, Irwin looked at Natalie's peaceful sleeping face. Subconsciously, he traced the contours of her face. Her face was indeed small.Just then, his phone vibrated. The notification sound from the headlines app prompted Irwin to take out his phone. As he turned off the silent mode, a storm flashed through his eyes as he saw the contents of the notification.He glanced at the sleeping Natalie, got out of the car, and gently closed the door. He made a call behind the car. The call was quickly answered."Sir!""I don't want to see today's news again," Irwin said."Are you referring to Ms. Walker..." The person on the other end of the line hesitated for a moment, then realized.Recently, Irwin and Natalie had been getting closer. When the close relationship between Natalie and him was exposed bef
The public opinion in Verde City was still brewing. Right after the news about Isabella being Natalie's sister broke out, what happened to Isaac's fiancee was also leaked.Then, Dr. Landry, who performed the surgery on Isabella, had his company with millions in registered capital revealed. The whole city was speculating that Natalie had caused the death of Isaac's fiancee, and she was also the one who had bribed Dr. Landry. They claimed Natalie deliberately made her sister's surgery fail.The public opinion had both positive and negative sides! Some said Isabella deserved it. They accused her of seducing her own sister's husband. However, the majority blamed Natalie. They called her ruthless and accused her of harming her own sister.Those who previously supported Natalie started to turn against her, claiming she was pretending and being hypocritical. In short, there were various accusations against her on the internet."Enough. Stop looking at it!" Irwin said, taking her p
At the Johnson Manor, Christina was in her room, looking at the online discussions on her phone. She could hear noises from downstairs as she did. Obviously, Rebecca was throwing a tantrum.A faint smile appeared on her lips. She changed into different clothes and went out. As she walked to the stairs, she saw Rebecca still on the phone."What's going on now?" Rebecca asked angrily, not holding back her frustration. It was unclear what the person on the other end of the call had said.Rebecca was already in a bad mood, and she was practically burning in anger now. "Weren't you getting along well with her before? What happened? Tell me, is it related to Isabella?"Christina could now discern that Rebecca was talking to Cedric on the phone. Rebecca had genuinely disliked Natalie before this. However, since she found out about Natalie being the Regal Horizon International's chairman's niece and also his future successor, Rebecca had grown attached to her. She genuinely hoped N
Once the press conference ended, Natalie descended from the stage. Someone grabbed her wrist and swiftly led her toward the nearby safety corridor.A familiar scent hit her, and Irwin pinned her against the wall. There was a smile playing at the corner of his lips. "So, you have plans for me, huh?""I'll make a good profit from the project in the eastern suburbs. That plan will work for sure!" Natalie awkwardly replied.There was pressure on her chin as slender fingers pushed her face up slightly.Irwin's strength was a little assertive. There was a sort of hunger in Irwin's eyes when Natalie looked into them.She shook her head but couldn't break free."Let go of me.""Are you using me to piss him off?""You taught me to do that!"Irwin was silent as his eyes darkened.This woman!He released her chin and said, "What a sly fox!""Sorry, I was a bit hasty just now." When the reporter asked that question, she didn't think much."It's good that you thought of me in you
