Even if they wanted to cancel the contract, it was likely because they were dissatisfied with Natalie's designs.

She hadn't even submitted her design yet, so why would they...?

The person on the other end interrupted her thoughts, "I'm sorry, Ms. Walker. I didn't recognize that you were the Johnson family's young mistress earlier. It would be too much for me to use your designs."

"You're being too kind..." Natalie muttered distractedly.

After hearing what the person said, Natalie knew that Cedric probably had something to do with it. Originally, it was to leave her without a job, but who would have thought that it would affect her ongoing collaborations as well?

She hung up the phone. Before she could say anything, Karina said, "It's okay, we have no shortage of orders here!"

The way Karina said it made it seem like they were financially secure.

Natalie also felt a bit relieved.

She knew that with Cedric's interference, things wouldn't be so easy for her. That was why it was cr

    Cedric tightened his grip on her wrist, and Natalie stopped struggling. She looked at him and said, "Tell me, what significance does that place hold for me?"Cedric narrowed his eyes. In the next moment, he stated firmly, "You know I won't divorce you."The underlying message was clear: Cedric was telling Natalie that since she was aware of this, she should stop trying to make trouble.That was the best choice she could make right now.In the past, Natalie would have complied. But now, things were different.Taking a deep breath, she said, "Then give me a reason to stay by the side of a man who wants me to disappear for the sake of another woman!"Cedric's breath caught in his throat. Isabella was now like a ticking time bomb between them. As soon as she was mentioned, an explosion was guaranteed!The two locked eyes. Cedric looked at the defiant woman, his disappointment growing. He thought about how the public opinion in Verde City was shifting against her. Even those wh

    It had to be said that for most of their marriage, Cedric had been a devoted husband except for the last six months. He would return home early if he had no business commitments and never stayed out past eleven. As a result, Natalie's bedtime rarely extended past eleven as well.Working late into the night like this so suddenly was taxing on Natalie. In the office's rest area, she sat in a large chair, covering herself with her coat. Karina sat nearby and said, "You might need to move out of Ms. Sander's place."Natalie nodded, well aware of the situation. Living at Bianca's place had already seriously affected Bianca's life, which was why she had been reluctant to move there three months ago. She just hadn't expected such tactics to resurface.As she was pondering this matter, Cedric called.Cedric didn't wait for Natalie to say anything when she answered. He immediately asked, "You haven't gone back yet?""I never said I was going back.""Do you think Bianca can prote

    When Natalie entered Irwin's office again, she was nervous.Irwin's expression was far from welcoming, and she didn't have much confidence. Though she wasn't under his direct authority, they had a business relationship. If her designs left a bad impression, it would be embarrassing for her!Irwin flipped through the designs, and his brow furrowed. Natalie found it hard to breathe.Had she made a terrible impression on him yesterday? Did he find her designs utterly unsatisfactory?However, Irwin nodded in the next moment and said, "It seems I was too quick to judge yesterday. It's better than I expected.""R-really?" Hearing these words, Natalie felt a sense of relief wash over her. But she remained cautious.Irwin continued, "It appears you put in considerable effort last night, but there are some areas that still need improvement.""I would greatly appreciate your feedback," Natalie replied. This project was the greatest opportunity for her. She couldn't miss a single

    Over the next two days, Natalie and her team camped out in a coffee shop across the street from the Financial International Center to save time. Karina boldly reserved the entire place to provide the team a quiet workspace. Once they made the necessary modifications to the designs there, Natalie would deliver the drafts to Apex Global Group for Irwin's review.After his review, she would return to the coffee shop for any further revisions.The process wasn't as smooth as Natalie had initially thought. Irwin turned out to be exceptionally meticulous. After multiple revisions, Natalie realized she had been wrong about him. He was more demanding than she could have imagined."No matter how I look at it, it doesn't match the previous excellence. The same specific areas need to be improved," he said as he returned the drafts to her.Natalie's heart raced, realizing that tonight would likely be her final opportunity! If she didn't hand in the perfect draft by tomorrow morning, her

    Natalie didn't agree to go back to the Johnson Manor for Elizabeth's birthday, and Cedric was getting increasingly agitated. At least today, the design submitted to him was satisfactory. However, with Natalie causing a commotion, his mood...!"Yuvan!""Yes, sir. Where would you like to go?" Yuvan asked.After leaving the cafe, Cedric wandered around for a while, and Yuvan was uncertain about his destination.In the past few days, Cedric grew noticeably colder each time they approached Scarlet Villa. The driver and Yuvan were eager to drop him off at the end of each day, worried their hearts wouldn't endure the stress much longer!"Let's go to the hospital," Cedric eventually said after a brief pause.Upon hearing this, Yuvan and the driver grew even more apprehensive. Every time they left the hospital, Cedric's mood was even worse.It seemed they wouldn't have an easy time tonight.They soon arrived at the hospital, and Yuvan followed Cedric to the ward.-Inside the hosp

    Yuvan felt like he was going to die soon as he watched the scene unfold before him.As Cedric closed in on her, the coffee she had splashed on him earlier now adorned her white dress.Natalie had a penchant for cleanliness, and she was furious. "Cedric, are you out of your mind?! You... Mmph!"It hurt!Cedric's kiss was domineering and fierce, lacking the tenderness he once showed. His sudden, forceful actions made everyone in the coffee shop quickly bury their heads in their work as if they hadn't seen anything.The taste of blood lingered on her lips.Natalie struggled to push him away, but she couldn't budge the unyielding man.Warm breath tickled her ear, and his tone was gentle as he coaxed, "Nat, be a good girl, hm?"So, he was trying to coax her, huh?In the past, Cedric would leave her alone to calm down for a while. Then, he would coax her like this, treating her almost like a child. It was a trick that had always worked wonders on her. Whenever Cedric used it,

    Natalie had no desire to involve herself with this man anymore. Cedric's face instantly darkened. Right now, she was resolute about getting a divorce. Even at this moment, she hadn't forgotten to discuss the terms of their divorce.Natalie gave him a challenging look. Although she had already given up her feelings for this man...But at this moment, she still wanted to see how this man would choose. "I can apologize if you want, but only if you agree to the divorce."A divorce for an apology!Cedric looked at Natalie, and they stared at each other for a long time.Suddenly, Cedric laughed.It was sudden, and Natalie asked, "Why are you laughing?""You'd really do anything to get rid of me, huh? Do I disgust you that much?""The moment you started things with Isabella, you should have known we would end up like this. Why bother holding on?"Holding on? Was this how she saw him now? In her heart, his reluctance had turned into holding on. Just as he expected...!C

    Natalie turned to look at Cedric, who was still holding Isabella in his arms.Isabella... She didn't appear flustered at all, despite being exposed.She remained calmly nestled in Cedric's embrace.When Natalie had lunged at her, Cedric had already set her down. However, he still had one arm wrapped around her, protecting her. The irony of the situation wasn't lost on anyone.Cedric was momentarily frozen. He glanced at his own hand and then at Natalie. The guilt that briefly crossed his eyes was quickly concealed.What remained was a warning and disappointed look directed at Natalie. And as for Natalie..."How many times does this make?" Natalie asked.Cedric's tone was icy. "You're becoming more and more unruly.""Hah!"Unruly, huh?At this moment, Cedric bore a strikingly similar image to his father. This was how his father usually spoke to Rebecca.All men from the Johnson family were the same.What was a woman to them? Natalie had thought that Cedric was differen

    Bianca was still pondering how to reject Malcolm. Undoubtedly, even when she sought him out a week ago and proposed they get married, she hadn't truly wanted to marry him. As she contemplated things now, she even anticipated how crazed Malcolm might become when she presented her decision.Her phone buzzed with a call from Malcolm. In the past, Bianca would have ignored it outright, but now... she wasn't one to burn bridges."Hello?""I'll be there in ten minutes. Come down.""It's quite late."Just like before, whenever this man wanted to talk to her, especially about meeting up, she couldn't muster a pleasant expression.The man on the other end of the line simply stated, "I want to see you."Bianca’s heart clenched at those words. She was accustomed to Malcolm's cold, domineering demeanor. Even when he desired a woman, he maintained that haughty attitude. So, hearing such tender words from him was beyond her expectations."Hmph.""Come down, okay? I have a surprise for you."

    As Zane reached halfway up the hill, he noticed a familiar car parked outside. Neil, the butler, was waiting outside, and upon seeing Zane return, he approached respectfully."Lord Zane.""Who's here?" Zane frowned, glancing at the brightly lit villa.What was going on? Usually, this place was dim in the evenings, but today, everything was unexpectedly bright."Ms. Stewart has returned," Neil replied.Zane's mind went blank for a moment. He stared stiffly at the butler, his pupils rapidly constricting."Ms. Stewart arrived this afternoon."Yvette!The familiar name flashed through Zane's mind like a gust of wind. How many times had he wanted to hold onto her? But in the end, for various reasons, he had to let her go bit by bit.And now, Yvette was back!Where had she been all this time?Since leaving Simeria, it was like she was a bird that had escaped its cage and soared into the sky, never to return.

    "Maybe something happened," said Bianca.Natalie felt her eyelids twitch in response. What kind of terrifying situation was this?"When I say 'something happened,' I don't mean anything bad, but..."But what?In that moment, Bianca's gaze toward Natalie deepened, and she understood what her friend meant."You mean...?" asked Natalie.Bianca nodded silently.Natalie fell quiet as she pondered the situation.What if that was really the case?Natalie couldn't help but admit that if it truly was, it would naturally be a favorable outcome for her."Don't forget, if he can come, he can also leave. He can't change anything here, so it's better for him to return to the world he belongs to," Bianca explained.During this time, Natalie had transformed Simeria into a fortress. But even in such circumstances, Cedric had mysteriously vanished. Up until now, there hadn't been any clues. Even Kyle had been through so much, yet hadn't uttered any useful information.So, it had to be said t

"Hmm."In the end, he agreed.After all, she was his daughter. Despite not being raised by him since childhood, Curtis could see it clearly. Like her mother, Bianca would stick to her decisions, impervious to outside interference.Seeing Curtis finally eating, Bianca felt a sense of relief.

    As she spoke, Seraphine felt the already dangerous aura around the man grow even darker, sending her heart racing. She tried to speak, but found herself speechless."Hmph, you useless thing!" Zane cursed menacingly.Cold sweat soaked Seraphine's back completely."There must be a way," she choked out, her tone tense.At that moment, Seraphine recalled what Zane had said to her before she came back to Simeria.He had told her that he never kept useless individuals around him. To gain his protection, one had to be useful. And now, Seraphine's only use—her engagement to Malcolm—had been effortlessly annulled."Heh," Zane sneered disdainfully.For Seraphine, this disdain was not only humiliating, but also starkly different from her experiences with Eleanor. In Eleanor's presence, she had never faced such disrespect. But now, it seemed like anyone could trample on her.In the past, even members of the Entes family wouldn't openly show contempt towards her, but now… Those past comfort

    Seraphine had always harbored resentment towards Bianca. But Bianca had always been a rather composed individual, rarely resorting to such actions.So, what was she doing now?"You..." Seraphine's initial fury had been turned to speechlessness by Bianca's aggression.When Seraphine glanced at Bianca, she caught a glimpse of malice in the other woman's eyes.Before Seraphine could utter a word, Bianca bluntly asked, "You know, don't you?"Seraphine stayed silent.Know what?"You knew that Lord Malcolm and Lord Zane are half brothers You also knew why Lord Zane sought you out and took your side, right?" Bianca continued.Seraphine's face drained of color in an instant. And every subtle change in her expression was noticed by Bianca, whose eyes were filled with icy mockery.Stepping forward, Bianca gripped Seraphine's delicate chin. Seraphine instinctively tried to evade, but Bianca's hold was firm."You still dare claim this is your home?" Bianca scoffed."This has always been

    When would the cycle of revenge end?While Bianca hadn't decided what to do about Eleanor's actions, Zane had already shown his claws.When would it end?If someone kept chasing after a person, what could they do?"Bia…"Curtis wanted to say something to his daughter, but was met with her unwavering gaze. Clearly, she wouldn't back down this time, just like her mother never did when faced with such situations. Both women faced things head-on, without flinching."Don't worry, okay?" Bianca reassured Curtis.There was another reason she was insisting on staying in Simeria—Bianca knew Curtis wouldn't leave with her. So, she wouldn't leave either.-Bianca and Curtis talked for a long time.Curtis still wanted to send her abroad, but her resolute attitude left him powerless. Moreover, from various pieces of information gathered earlier, it was clear that Bianca was a strong-willed child.No matter what problems she faced, she had her own opinions.

    When Bianca returned to the Holly family’s residence, she found Curtis staring gravely at some documents. When he started coughing violently, his face turning as pale as a sheet, Carol hurried over to check on him."Sir, let Ms. Bianca handle these documents. Please don't strain yourself," Carol said, her tone full of concern."I see now," Curtis muttered heavily, as if he had just realized something crucial.Not understanding what he meant, Carol simply urged, "Your health can't handle this strain. Don't tire yourself out. You must trust Ms. Bianca."Curtis fell silent.Trust?He had always trusted Bianca, but now he regretted bringing her back. If he had never found her, would things be different now?"Where did she go?" Curtis asked."Ms. Bianca went out, but she'll be back soon," Carol reassured him, gently taking the documents from his hands.Ever since Bianca told the older woman about Curtis' health problems, Carol had been extra vigilant, making sure he avoided anythin

    Bianca stared at the dangerous man, memories of their harmonious past flashing through her mind. Those moments had once seemed so genuine, yet now felt laughably absurd."Haha, how ridiculous!" Bianca scoffed, her laughter bitter."Bianca!" Zane's voice was sharp, cutting through her mirth."Zane, what if I reveal your true intentions to everyone? What will they think then?""Who would believe you?" Zane interrupted coldly, not letting her finish.Bianca's smile froze on her lips. He was right.Who would believe her? Curtis might, and so would Natalie. But was their trust enough?Clearly, it wasn't.But did it matter?"It's not your concern who believes me. I have never needed anyone's belief to stand strong," said Bianca.Many had doubted her before, but none had ever managed to break her spirit.
