The calm atmosphere in Simeria was gradually torn apart.Amidst the enthusiasm of the rumors that Natalie was Malcolm's and that the man was about to present a luxurious betrothal gift, another major event occurred. It shattered the already disrupted tranquility of Simeria.Regal Horizons International officially announced the termination of all positions held by Natalie in the company, causing an uproar throughout Simeria. Given the prior rumors that the Jarvis family had overlooked their only daughter and designated Natalie as the future heiress to Regal Horizons International, her sudden removal from all positions raised questions.Why had she been dismissed when she was about to marry the sixth lord of the Entes family?Then, even more shocking news was revealed.Less than half a day after this announcement, a new headline appeared.[Natalie Walker has no relation to the Jarvis family from now on and has moved out.]This news was explosive, surpassing even the previous a
Malcolm had been upset by the sudden appearance of an heiress for Regal Horizons International back then.And now, Stephen's current maneuvers...In Malcolm's view, it was undoubtedly another one of Natalie's dubious schemes!Natalie was full of cunning tricks. She was seemingly simple, but her little tricks hit as hard as a sledgehammer!It made him wonder how she planned to turn the situation around this time.Of course, it didn't matter if Natalie didn't become his woman. This situation was still an opportunity for Natalie to become one of his people.It didn't seem like a bad idea.-Simeria was now abuzz with activity. Meanwhile, the Jarvis family was handling things smoothly. Natalie had openly moved from Lotus Villa to Hillside Villa, presenting herself as if the Jarvis family had ousted her.At Hillside Villa, Natalie lay leisurely on the sofa. She was waiting for Malcolm to announce either his engagement to someone else or news that there was never a relationship be
Malcolm's actions had torn apart Natalie's plans and forcibly intertwined himself with her and the Jarvis family.During dinner time, he... arrived at Hillside Villa!At the dining table, Natalie glared fiercely at Malcolm. She looked as if she wanted to tear him to pieces with her bare hands!The man chuckled, "What? Is this your first time losing?"Natalie was silent.The first time?! Indeed, it was the first time she faced such a major setback.Before she could speak, Malcolm continued, "How did you deceive Cedric with your clumsy tactics?"Clumsy tactics?Yes, in this life... From the moment she woke up, she had been constantly thinking about how to sever ties with Cedric. She had pressured him at every step to get a divorce.Each time, he had initially refused. But...How did he eventually agree?Thinking back now, Natalie realized it was because... she had caused too much trouble. She had pushed him to the brink, and in his loss of reason, he had agreed."What els
When did it all start?It seemed to begin when Isabella wanted revenge against Natalie, back when she hadn't found a way to connect with Cedric yet. That man had appeared out of nowhere.He helped her get close to Cedric and stirred up chaos between Natalie and Cedric. Watching Natalie gradually fall from her pedestal brought Isabella immense satisfaction, thinking she had finally dragged Natalie into the abyss. But who would have thought...!The truth brought by Rebecca and the results of Yuvan's reexamination of the information constantly inflicted unbearable pain on her.Isabella only felt disgust when she heard Lily's words.Seeing how Isabella remained silent and cold, Lily felt displeased but didn't say much.Soon, someone from inside came out and respectfully approached Isabella. "Ms. Morgan, please come in," he said, courteously opening the car door for her.Lily allowed them to take Isabella inside. In her view, the hatred between Isabella and Natalie was irreco
Even as Natalie grew up, Dominic had been a role model in her heart for a long time. But when the truth was revealed to her, Natalie discovered how cruel those events from the past had been, especially the horror Selena had endured. How could she ever forgive Isabella and her mother?"Isabella, get out! Now!" Natalie already felt that something was amiss before Isabella brought up Selena. But now, speaking about Selena unleashed all the restrained emotions within Natalie.After Natalie learned the truth about her parents, her heart ached for Selena. Regardless of the circumstances under which Dominic betrayed Selena, Natalie still thought it was unforgivable."Sis..."Isabella turned toward her, her expression filled with sorrow. She struggled to see Natalie's face but was met with darkness. She couldn't see anything. She could only perceive the image of the young Natalie in her memory—petite, delicate, and now standing at the pinnacle of life.Isabella's voice was fille
Inside the study room at Maple Peak, Yves and Dylan were both present. Under the dim lights, the atmosphere in the room was chilling."Wexford?" A strong sense of danger flashed in Irwin's eyes.Who would have thought that Cedric had suddenly left Simeria and returned to Wexford? And for what reason did he go there ahead of everyone else?Could the person in Wexford be in critical condition? For years, that person had placed everything on Cedric's father. Now, with Cedric returning to Wexford ahead of everyone else, what did it signify? Had Cedric been chosen as the successor for the impending transition?When Irwin thought about this, the coldness in his eyes deepened."Yes, sir," Yves said with a serious expression.Irwin sneered with a level of coldness rarely seen from the usually dignified and serious man. The next moment, he instructed, "Summon Jeremy, Adrian, and Roland!"It was apparent that something significant had happened in Wexford. Over the years, that
In Hillside Villa, the dim lights created an eerie sense of quietness.Natalie's phone vibrated, and she glanced at the number. It was Irwin.That man...!She answered in a flat tone, "Hello."At this moment, Malcolm's words suddenly flashed in Natalie's mind. He had told Natalie never to try to manipulate a man who was heartless and didn't love her, and then he had named Irwin as an example!Although Malcolm wasn't a good person, she had to admit his words were true.Irwin treated her with utmost tenderness, but she had never seen genuine love in his eyes."I'm downstairs."Natalie was momentarily stunned.She stood up, walked to the French window, and saw Irwin's imposing black G-Wagon parked beside her car. He wore a black windbreaker, exuding elegance and clarity."I'll be right down," Natalie said and hung up the phone. She turned around and grabbed her coat, throwing it over her pajamas. Then, she slipped on her slippers before going downstairs.Lydia was busy
Irwin's gentle tone turned serious as he said, "Lord Malcolm is not a good person."Natalie was silent.Cedric had said the exact words more than once before.Now, Natalie couldn't help but think...Who among them was a good person? None of them were!Yes, that was what Natalie felt.Cedric wasn't a good person. Neither was Malcolm, and neither... was Irwin.-After Irwin left, Natalie felt shaken by his words. She couldn't calm down for a long time, even when she tried to relax under the dim lights of the villa.An hour later, Natalie arrived at Lotus Villa.It was almost midnight, and Stephen frowned when Natalie entered his study."Did the driver bring you here?" Stephen clearly sounded upset.Natalie nodded. "Yes."Stephen asked, "Is something wrong?"Since moving out from Lotus Villa, Natalie rarely stopped by so late at night.So, did something happen today?!"Cedric is in Wexford," Natalie said."..."As soon as she said that, Natalie saw a flash of shock in
