"Is the situation between you and him really as serious as the rumors say?" Natalie asked Caleb.Natalie had witnessed what kind of existence Premier Garden Corporation was in Verde City when she was there. However, Cedric managed to intervene and disrupt that."It's not as serious as the rumors say, but I need to find out the reasons behind this," the man sitting across from her replied, his expression darkening slightly.He couldn't recall offending Cedric, but the latter was now coming at him with such intensity, almost as if he wanted his life.Caleb could sense that something complicated was happening.When he mentioned finding out the reason, Caleb noticed a distinct change in her expression. He asked, "Do you know the reason for this?""Yes, I do."Caleb stayed silent and stared at Natalie.Looking at the sharp and hawk-like eyes of the man, Natalie didn't know how to continue. Cedric was such a wicked man!Why wouldn't he just die? Now, Natalie wished Cedric we
"Caleb, you should return to Verde City first. I'll handle things here!" Natalie didn't want to continue discussing Irwin, so she ended the conversation this way.This was a confrontation between her and Cedric, and she couldn't compromise!Caleb nodded. "Okay."He would agree for now. Obviously, it was because he didn't want to put Natalie in a difficult position. As Natalie was about to leave, Yvonne hurriedly entered and said, "Mr. Spencer, something happened!"While saying this, she subconsciously looked at Natalie.Natalie's heart tensed because of Yvonne's words.Caleb also glanced at Natalie, but he asked Yvonne, "Is it Cedric again?""Yes, sir!"Natalie felt a bit overwhelmed.Cedric...!He kept backing her into the corner, not even giving her a chance to catch her breath!Rubbing her aching temple, Natalie said, "Caleb, I'll handle this. Again, I'm sorry."Apologizing at this moment was practically useless.After all, Natalie couldn't compensate for the actual
As for why there were clothes for her at Peach Garden, Natalie didn't ask a single word...!It was because she didn't care about anything Cedric did now.Cedric looked at her and said, "Let Susan come over to check on you first."Just now, he clearly felt that something was wrong!He was too reckless! When he lost control, he became even more ruthless and had likely injured her.Natalie turned to the side. "Get out!"She coldly spat out those words, clearly not wanting to see Cedric.But Cedric didn't leave. Instead, he sat on the edge of the bed.He said, "Nat, I drove Irwin away from you. Naturally, that means I can drive everyone away! Except for me, you have no other choice."He lit a cigarette as he spoke.As he finished speaking, Natalie's whole body instantly stiffened.Her face turned ashen.Irwin...! She didn't want to speak much about his grievances with Irwin. They could handle their own affairs. She didn't want to be involved!But Caleb..."I'll listen to
The night at Peach Garden was exceptionally quiet, accompanied by the sounds of insects and birds. The natural atmosphere unconsciously brought a sense of tranquility. However, Natalie could not have slept here if it weren't for her extreme fatigue.At some point, it didn't matter how quiet the surroundings were. Whenever Cedric was around, nothing could suppress the turmoil in her heart. In a daze, she felt someone moving her.Opening her weary eyes, the man's distinct profile under the warm orange glow appeared gentle, almost like a beautiful angel. However, Natalie's exhaustion vanished in this moment, replaced by a vigilant gaze fixed on Cedric. When she felt his movements, she immediately went from grogginess to alertness.Slap!A crisp sound of a slap echoed, landing heavily on the man's face.The air around them froze instantly.The sound of insects became clearer at that moment. Even the slightest pin drop could be heard."You lunatic!" Natalie roared. Images of
Back at Lotus Villa, Clyde was still awake. When Natalie entered, he was on the phone. His expression was unpleasant, and he seemed to have mentioned Wexford.Natalie's heart tightened once again.When Clyde saw her, he hastily said something to the other end, then hung up and walked towards Natalie."Why are you back so late? And in your sleepwear?!" Clyde asked.Instead of answering his question, Natalie changed the subject and asked, "Is there another issue in Wexford?"At the mention of Wexford, Clyde's frown deepened. He wasn't a talkative person, and he still needed some time to get used to the recent change in his status since coming to Simeria.The only person he probably spoke more often to was Natalie. They looked identical and had been in the same space since the moment they came to life. Even after being separated for so many years, there seemed to be an unspoken understanding between them, tugging at their hearts involuntarily."It's not a big issue. You don't n
Silence filled the air.Even through the phone, one could feel the coldness of the confrontation between them.After a while, Cedric took a deep breath and said, "Children are fragile when sick. She has been calling for you since she started to have a fever.""She's calling for her mother, not me." Natalie's tone grew colder.To Cedric, Natalie's current self seemed like a stranger. It felt as if they had never known each other."Kyle is on his way," Cedric added as his tone became more assertive.Natalie chuckled coldly."Why are you laughing?" Cedric asked."Cedric, do you know what you look like right now?""..." Before he could respond, Natalie continued, "You used to repeatedly force me to do things for her mother.""...""Do you remember what you made me do? Her mother is now dead, so you'll do anything for her child, huh?"The air fell silent once again.Once, it was Isabella. Now, it was Isabella's daughter!The Cedric in this life...!It seemed like he would n
"Let's talk outside!" Cedric said as he grabbed her wrist and walked towards the door.However, Natalie shook his hand off. She looked at Kayla with a mocking glint in her eyes.She had to admit that Cedric was really good to Isabella's daughter. Every detail in this room showed careful consideration. Natalie's mockery became more apparent as she said, "You've done so much to Cly and Caleb just to force me to see her, right?"Cedric was silent.Cly?! Caleb?!The chill that was already present in the man intensified when he heard Natalie's sudden reference to Clyde and Caleb. The look in his eyes towards her became colder.Natalie walked past him and approached the bed.Looking down at Kayla lying on the bed, Natalie's eyes were filled with disdain.Seeing Natalie's gaze, Kayla subconsciously didn't dare to move. When Cedric saw Kayla instinctively curled into herself, his anger rose again."Natalie." His tone became heavier.Natalie sat in the chair Cedric had just vacate
"Why don't you come and have a drink tonight with me? Even though there's no wedding, I still hope you can enjoy the happiness of my marriage," Bianca said calmly over the phone.However, Natalie sensed bitterness beneath this calmness. She had witnessed the entanglement between Bianca and Malcolm firsthand and had experienced Malcolm's dreadful side. Yet now, out of the blue, Bianca had married Zane?!In this short span of time, what had transpired? Marriage had always been sacred in Bianca's eyes, influenced by her past profession. Natalie knew that Bianca and Zane weren't close. So, what had Malcolm done to push Bianca, who had always regarded marriage highly, into marrying the seventh lord?"Where are you staying now?""I'm your neighbor. I'm staying behind Hillside Villa.""...Alright, I got it."The area around Hillside Estate had four directions. Natalie occupied the east side and was unaware of who resided in the remaining three. Unexpectedly, the seventh lord was
