A chill flashed in Cedric's eyes."She doesn't acknowledge you as her sister. Why bother considering her feelings at this point?" His tone was also somewhat cold. It was evident that he had already determined what kind of person Natalie was, and he couldn't accept her anymore.Isabella sensed the emotion in his tone. Although she felt a fleeting sense of satisfaction, she still looked pained on the surface."But she is my sister after all."Her tone was filled with sorrow. It seemed that despite all Natalie had done during this period, Isabella was still speaking up for her. Natalie had insulted Isabella's mother as a mistress on the phone, a severe humiliation. Then, when Isabella was thoroughly exposed as her sister, Natalie still refused to acknowledge her.Natalie was truly ruthless.Now, looking at Isabella, who continued to defend Natalie, everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for her."Enough, don't say anything more, hmm?" Cedric said.Isabella wanted to say somet
Cedric's tactics were fierce. In just a few days, he had violently brought her down from her high position and crushed her ruthlessly.Natalie watched the overwhelming online attacks, feeling a chilling sensation throughout her body. With an imposing aura, she rushed to Radiant Tower but was intercepted by Yuvan. "Ms. Walker, Mr. Johnson said he doesn't want to see you."Slap!Yuvan's words were cut short as Natalie slapped him. In an instant, Yuvan's expression darkened, and his gaze toward Natalie turned sharp."Oh, someone who's been pulled down from the position of Sylvan Gems’ CEO has bitten back, huh?" An unsympathetic voice chimed in. Queenie appeared, holding a white porcelain cup. She stood next to Yuvan, observing Natalie with a sarcastic look.Slap! Slap!Natalie delivered two slaps to Queenie's face. The white cup crashed to the ground, and coffee spilled everywhere. Onlookers, who were initially reveling in Natalie's misfortune, quickly averted their gazes,
It was hard to imagine that this woman could remain so proud and upright despite all her malicious deeds. She even stood at the peak of life and flaunted her power and dominance.Natalie stopped and turned around. There was a smirk that could kill on her lips."You've done so much just to make me beg, right? To see me submit to you!?""...""Cedric, I can stand in the spotlight at the summit, and naturally, I can gracefully face the fall. So all your scheming to drag me into the mud won't show you what you want!"Her words were calm, and she spoke like a queen. It felt as if she were elevated and untouchable. Yet, the person orchestrating all of this was still lurking in the shadows.Natalie walked away.Her proud figure was something she had been born with. She wouldn't let anyone suppress her and succeed!-After exiting Radiant Tower, Natalie called Stephen. Since something significant had happened, Stephen would undoubtedly be aware of it.However, he hadn't called he
Natalie didn't know how she managed to leave Apex Global. Sitting in the car, she felt like a lost child.Just then, her phone vibrated. She picked it up and noted it was an internal call from Auro Studio. Honestly, whenever she saw calls from the internal line or from people like Zane and Karina, she couldn't help but tense. That was because they constantly reminded her of the dilemma she was facing. Even though this was her second change at life, in the face of such a situation, she... felt lost!Answering the call, she said, "Hello!""Can you come to the studio now?" Karina's voice sounded urgent, making Natalie's heart jump to her throat."What's going on?""It's the Premier Garden project!"Premier Garden Corporation? The project with Caleb Spencer?"What happened?""They need the designs urgently. You know how it is now, all our designers are..." Karina trailed off.Natalie understood. If Premier Garden Corporation needed it, Natalie had to handle it personally.
After exiting Premier Garden Corporation, Natalie went directly to Radiant Tower. Yuvan... had already been admitted to the hospital. So, when people saw Natalie in her frosty demeanor, they avoided her and dared not approach her.Undaunted, Queenie intercepted her. Slap!Before she could say anything, Natalie slapped her, sending her into the corner.Such explosive temper indicated that anyone approaching her now would face a similar fate.Queenie was somewhat dazed from the slap. She angrily got up and screamed, "Natalie, stop right there!"Bang!Natalie forcefully pushed a chair in her path, kicked open the office door, and entered with even more fiery rage than when she arrived.Cedric's office was currently holding a high-level meeting. The loud noise drew everyone's attention. When Cedric saw her again, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.He glanced at his wristwatch and said, "You're all dismissed.""Yes, sir!"Everyone stood up and quickly left.Natalie entered
Cedric... Cedric...!At this moment, Natalie kept repeating this name in her mind. That was the man from her previous life who had cost her everything. In this life, was she so powerless that she could do nothing as he turned her world upside down?!"Nat? Nat, are you okay?" Bianca's voice on the phone became increasingly worried as Natalie remained silent. Especially now since she saw Stephen hovering over Winona so much. Winona wasn't in a good situation right now.Natalie's condition was not good either. Sweat kept dripping from her forehead, and a warm sensation beneath her suggested something was not right. She took a deep breath and quickly said to Bianca, "I'm okay, don't worry. I'll hang up for now."Without waiting for Bianca to respond, Natalie hung up the phone.A stabbing pain emanated from her lower abdomen. She hadn't expected that the impact in Cedric's office a while ago would cause such intense pain. She suspected she had hit something.Trembling, she d
In the hospital room, the scent of disinfectant filled the air as Natalie regained consciousness. Karina was by her side, holding a laptop with several files scattered on a small table, indicating how busy she had been."Why didn't you get someone from Elegance Bay to stay with me instead?" Natalie asked with a hint of guilt as she observed how busy Karina was.Upon hearing this, Karina looked towards her. As soon as she saw Natalie waking up, she immediately set aside her laptop and files. "You're awake! How do you feel?""My stomach still hurts a bit," Natalie replied."I'll call the doctor right away," Karina said, rushing out of the room.Natalie wasn't sure where she had hit herself that caused such intense pain. Soon after, Karina returned with a doctor and two nurses."Hello, Ms. Walker," the doctor greeted, recognizing Natalie, as she had become a topic of discussion in Verde City recently."What's wrong with me?" Natalie couldn't see her own pale face or bloodless l
Once, Natalie had eagerly anticipated having a child. She had longed to give Cedric a child.But now...!Her determination was resolute!She wasn't a qualified mother, and this situation made her see Cedric's madness completely!In the face of that man's madness, she had no confidence in protecting this child.-At Scarlet Villa, Isabella and Cedric sat at the dinner table. Cedric was currently on a call.He was heard saying on the phone, "Stephen can't attend to her right now!""...""Yes, everything has been arranged!"After finishing the call, he hung up.When Isabella heard Cedric mention Stephen, she knew that the call was about Natalie.Despite feeling some relief, there was also tension within her. She had to admit that Cedric was truly ruthless!This level of ruthlessness completely disregarded the ten years he had with Natalie.The situation would be irreversible no matter who got involved in such ruthlessness.She picked up a cup and drank half the glass of jui
