"Summon him to meet me," Irwin commanded after a moment of silence.Dylan was silent, and his already serious expression deepened further. "You know, Mr. Yarbrough's men have never betrayed him."They only followed orders, devoid of emotion!Irwin remained silent. The weight of Dylan's words had clearly impacted him. If the Schneider family were known to be cunning people, then the men loyal to Clyde were known to be notoriously difficult to deal with in Wexford. If they were to intervene, the situation might leave no room for maneuvering.Observing Irwin's somber demeanor, Dylan took a deep breath. A chilling glint flashed in his eyes as he asked, "So, do we proceed?"The implication was clear.Irwin's gaze sharpened as he looked at Dylan. Beneath the dim lighting, a palpable tension swirled between them. Irwin knew that Natalie couldn't be made aware of the current situation. The only way to stop it from happening was to do something to Casey...!However, he quickl
After leaving the banquet, Cedric immediately parted ways with Abigail.As he got into his car, Lucas delivered some unsettling news.He pulled irritably at his tie, frustration evident in his eyes!He had to admit that Natalie had really given him such a grand "gift"! The Schneider family...!He clenched both fists tightly, his knuckles cracking."So, Casey has discovered everything?" Cedric queried."Yes, he has located Aspen from that incident at the Redwood Slope," Lucas replied with a grave tone.Aspen was the person most significant to that woman... After she was gone, Cedric had dealt with everyone around her. However, Aspen was the exception. If there was anyone left from back then, it was Aspen.Unexpectedly...!"Clyde's people are indeed cunning, just as the rumors suggest," Cedric expressed, his tone tinged with underlying irritation.Aspen must be nearing forty by now. After leaving Redwood Slope, Aspen traveled to various places.Cedric had thought it woul
Clyde stated firmly, "She has the right to know.""Yes, sir.."Clyde had to admit that the matter at hand... the way Cedric and Irwin had handled it years ago had been quite meticulous. Despite spending so many years in Wexford, Clyde remained unaware of the intricate animosities between Irwin and Cedric, much less the significant events that had transpired in Wexford back then. While other involvements could be overlooked, the fact that his sister was now entangled was another story altogether.Hah!However, observing Natalie's recent tumultuous experiences in Wexford, Clyde felt relatively untroubled. He instructed, "Don't meet Cedric and Irwin. Inform Nat directly.""As you wish, sir.""Also..."A cold glint flashed in Clyde's eyes as he pondered. Knowing Natalie's actions and demeanor in Wexford, he was certain she wasn't someone easily manipulated. If she were to discover this information, Wexford would be thrown into chaos."Have Whitney accompany her," he decided
In Wexford, Irwin and Cedric were both anxiously concerned that Natalie might discover something. As this tension thickened, Lucas suddenly appeared at Casey's villa. Both of them emanated a visible tension, and the atmosphere around them felt charged with urgency.The person before him was clearly a woman, but she was dressed as a man. Lucas furrowed his brows and asked, "How many people know you're a woman?"Everyone had been referring to Casey as a man because they had thought she was one.Casey paused, taken aback. Not many in Wexford knew that she was indeed a woman. Casey had met Natalie twice, but Natalie was also likely unaware and had forgotten that Clyde had once told her that Casey was a woman."What's it to you?" Casey's tone grew cold."You…!""Get to the point," Casey interjected impatiently. Over the years, their interactions had been minimal. She detested when people brought up her gender, as if being a woman made her less competent. Given that few knew he
"What you're thinking right now is merely to cover things up as much as possible! After meeting our young mistress twice, I've come to understand that she's not easily fooled.""...""And don't you think your reactions towards her have been a bit excessive lately?"Lucas was silent. At Casey's words, his already grim expression darkened even further.There was no denying it.Casey was speaking the truth.Whether it was Cedric or Irwin, their reactions were overly intense when Casey intervened in this matter. Because Casey was one of Clyde's people, and they knew all too well what it meant to be associated with Clyde."It's only a matter of time before the truth was revealed."So, what's the point of hiding anything? Besides, Natalie isn't someone easily fooled, either.Whatever had caused such a strong reaction from both Cedric and Irwin was certainly not a simple matter. A flimsy excuse wouldn't suffice."Casey!""Mr. Smith, please leave.""You...""It seems you haven
Clearly, they hadn't anticipated things would escalate to this point."His movements seemed fine. We just didn't expect that Aspen would actually be in Wexford!" Lucas said.Indeed.The information they received years ago was that Aspeny had left Wexford. Hence, as long as Casey remained within Wexford, the situation shouldn't have escalated to this magnitude.Since that was the case, Cedric and his people hadn't paid much attention to Aspen's whereabouts.But who could have guessed that Aspen would return to Wexford after getting married? To make matters worse, Casey discovered the only person related to that incident in this recent situation.With a loud bang, Cedric slammed his fist against the car door, his eyes filled with chilling resolve.Natalie, his... Nat!Cedric was getting anxious!He had never imagined a day when things would spiral so out of control. As Casey had pointed out, ever since Natalie set foot in Wexford…Cedric had this lingering feeling that things w
Irwin turned to Shawn and commanded, "Go. Prepare everything immediately.""Irwin." Natalie's tone grew increasingly firm. Her head was already throbbing, and with each passing moment, it felt as though her headache intensified."Give me the phone first."Observing Irwin's behavior, Natalie was certain. Casey must have discovered something. Was the call... from Casey?Ever since Dylan departed, Irwin had been acting strangely. If someone were to tell Natalie that there wasn't any progress on the investigation, she wouldn't believe it!She had to admit that Casey certainly possessed some capability.At this moment, Natalie fully grasped the challenges Clyde had faced and the position he now occupied. The people around him spoke volumes about his journey."After we return from Mount Elven, I'll give it to you," Irwin replied calmly."You..." Natalie's anger surged. Hearing Irwin's response only heightened her emotions. Her phone kept vibrating, momentarily pausing befor
"Mr. Frazier has left with Madam," Lucas conveyed in a grave tone.From the journey to Terra Manor until now, Cedric had dialed Natalie's number countless times, only to be met with silence. Learning that Irwin had taken Natalie away, Cedric's expression turned even colder. It was obvious that Casey had received the same news as Cedric. After her meeting with Lucas, she had tried Natalie's number repeatedly but received no response. Now, hearing such news...As Casey passed by Cedric's car, she paused, locking eyes with him. "If you think this isn't an overreaction, just wait and see how Ms. Walker deals with you all!" With those final words, Casey gracefully departed.Inside the car, Cedric and Lucas exchanged a tense glance. Casey had pointed out their worst fear.With Natalie's temperament, the situation in Wexford might truly become uncontrollable. Could they afford not to react strongly?Judging by the situation, Cedric's gaze deepened as he remarked, "She's provi
