However, little did Irwin know that Natalie probably wouldn't want anything now!All she wanted was for Cedric and Irwin to stay away from her. She didn't want to be involved with them anymore.When Stephen returned in the middle of the night, he saw the signed divorce agreement that Irwin had sent over. A complicated glint flashed in his eyes when as he picked it up."Give it to her tomorrow morning," Stephen instructed the butler."Yes, sir," Agnes replied.With that, Stephen ascended the stairs toward his room.It was a relief for everyone now that it was over.-In Yuloria, it continued to rain almost every day. Cedric lay in bed, listening to the rain hitting the roof. The rain was heavy today, and it was really pouring down.After arriving in Yuloria, Cedric couldn't help but notice the gloomy weather. Even when the sun was shining, it wasn't warm enough. Cedric found it difficult to describe, but he felt like he wasn't getting enough sunlight. Additionally, the dayl
When Calvin went looking for Isaac in the night, he couldn't locate him. No matter how anxious Rebecca was, it wasn't until the next morning that Isaac appeared before her.At this moment, Rebecca looked at Isaac and asked, "Tell me, did Ced give Natalie his eyes?"Rebecca was blunt. She obviously wanted to know the truth and nothing else.Isaac frowned at her words."Did he?" Rebecca pressed.Did he or not?!"Rebecca..." Isaac began, but Rebecca's clenched fist slammed down on the coffee table before he could finish.She trembled all over. At that moment, even if Isaac didn't say anything, she had already made up her mind. Bringing Isaac here was just to confirm it!"He didn't!" Isaac looked at Rebecca's reaction and knew that if she discovered that Cedric had done it, she would turn Simeria upside down."You don't need to defend her," Rebecca said coldly. "I'm stating the facts," Isaac insisted."Facts, huh?"What are facts?Rebecca had spoken of facts so many times i
When Natalie arrived downstairs, Calvin respectfully approached her.Natalie couldn't fathom how Rebecca managed to keep people like Calvin by her side for so long. From what Natalie could remember, Calvin had been with Rebecca for quite some time."Mrs. Johnson," Calvin respectfully addressed Natalie."Calvin, I believe your memory is failing you. Allow me to remind you that my relationship with him ended years ago!" The weight behind Natalie's words grew heavier when she spoke the latter part of her sentence.Calvin had always been good-natured and intelligent. He was an outstanding individual. How did Rebecca find such people, much less keep them by her side?"But in Master Cedric's heart, you have always been his wife, and that has never changed," Calvin replied.Wife? When Natalie heard that, she laughed sarcastically.Seriously?"You seem to have forgotten that I'm not," Natalie bluntly stated. Natalie was never Cedric's wife, not in the eyes of the Johnson family
It had to be said that things were truly starting now.As everyone had speculated, things might spiral out of control once she and Irwin end things."Natalie, I thought you wouldn't refuse me," Austin said."But I did, " Natalie replied flatly.As she finished speaking, Austin chuckled. His laugh sounded gentle, but it felt strangely eerie to Natalie!She felt irritated at his response. "I'm hanging up."Without waiting for Austin to respond, she ended the call abruptly.Although she had anticipated this situation before divorcing Irwin, Natalie still felt uneasy.However, even if she had to experience this and more, she wouldn't change her decision. She no longer wanted to be involved with Irwin and Cedric in any way.-Meanwhile, Austin was in Orchid Bay. Since announcing his recovery, many complicated situations have happened around him. However, his sharp instincts had driven away many people.Up until now, even Cole, his subordinate, didn't quite understand why Austin
Rebecca had always doubted whether Cedric was still alive, so she had pinned all her hopes on Luna. As long as Luna could accompany her, she would feel somewhat better.However, Rebecca never expected that Natalie would refuse her request and even take Luna out of Simeria, preventing Rebecca from even seeing the child!Rebecca was furious. Like a madwoman, she wanted to snatch the child back. But she never thought this would happen!Calvin lowered his head slightly. "That is correct, Madam."This answer made Rebecca feel weak, and she collapsed on the couch."She's too much... How could she?!" Her hands clenched into fists, trembling uncontrollably. Wasn't this just too much?Not letting her see Luna was one thing, but things now in Simeria...!"Can we find help from overseas?" Rebecca said through gritted teeth.Obviously, they had to sue Natalie. Since no one dared to oppose the Jarvis family in Simeria, they would have to seek help from overseas.But Calvin frowned and
After Clyde left, Stephen returned. Natalie didn't go to work today. When Stephen saw her, his expression turned tender."Come with me to the study," Stephen said, ascending the steps, with Natalie hurrying after him.In the study, Stephen glanced at Natalie, hesitant to speak."I already know," Natalie said."You do?" Stephen raised his brows."Yeah." Natalie nodded.After she heard the news from Clyde, she couldn't calm her heart for a long time today. So, she didn't go to work in the studio.Stephen looked at Natalie, then sighed and said, "Nat, when your mother thought she lost you, we've been suffering all along.""...""We didn't even know you had a brother!"Natalie felt suffocated at the revelation.Rebecca wanted to take Luna away, and Natalie wished to tear the older woman apart with her bare hands. She wouldn't lose Luna.It showed how a mother's love for her child was irreplaceable.So, Heather must have suffered tremendously upon losing her children."Especia
Although they had anticipated such a scenario early on, they couldn't help but be surprised when it actually happened!Natalie sighed. "Those two...!"Natalie and Clyde hadn't expected someone from the Entes family to act so quickly, even after Stephen had left Simeria. Now, everything fell on Clyde's shoulders!However, Regal Horizons International's influence still loomed, formerly under Stephen and now under Clyde."So, what do we do now?" Natalie asked.Natalie's initial reaction was to seek out her father. However, she remembered how long Stephen had wanted to retire with Heather since Natalie returned to the Jarvis family. Disrupting their peace was something neither Natalie nor Clyde could bear. After all, Stephen and Heather had waited for this happiness for so many years. Now, they finally had it. As their children, Natalie and Clyde knew how much they wanted it. So, how could they bear to disturb them?"You don't have to worry about this," Clyde said.Natalie fel
The Entes family's seventh lady?Indeed...! Over the years in Simeria, everything in Verde City seemed to have little connection to Natalie anymore. When she thought about these things, she couldn't quite describe her feelings.Clyde glanced at her and said, "Don't feel too pressured. Your friendship should only be about emotional connection. There's no need to bring up family matters."Natalie understood Clyde's words. There was no need to discuss the Jarvis or Entes families during her interaction with Bianca.She had to admit that it was a question of boundaries. As friends, such boundaries were hard to define.But Natalie always heeded Clyde's words. She nodded. "Okay."However, Clyde didn't mention anything specific about Zane. In Natalie's view, it probably wasn't anything significant. If there were any developments, Clyde would surely inform her. But it was also hard to say.Clyde was a complex man. Sometimes, even as his sister, she couldn't see through him.As Nata
