When Natalie arrived at Slyvan Gems, she gazed at the towering building. Even the modest appearance outside couldn't hide the artistic atmosphere within.Sylvan Gems had always been low-key in Verde City. As the company focused only on jewelry, its competitive strength was not particularly prominent. Cedric had never mentioned this place around her before.Natalie never expected it to be a branch under Stephen. Thinking about it now, she had no idea how many companies were under Stephen's name.Natalie entered the lobby, where a staff who had seen the day before approached and asked respectfully, "Are you Ms. Walker?""Yes.""Please follow me," the receptionist said in the same respectful tone as she led the way for Natalie.Natalie followed behind her and observed her surroundings. The working atmosphere here was somewhat different from Cedric's company. It was seemingly stringent, leaving no room for errors. Even the receptionist seemed professionally trained. Her gestures

This development surprised Natalie. Cedric had been unpredictable all day. First, he hadn't made a scene in the basement earlier, and now he didn't make a fuss seeing her with her uncle. Had he undergone a transformation?!"Why are you here?" Natalie approached and said as calmly as possible.Fortunately, the staff here displayed impeccable professionalism. The receptionist didn't spare a glance in their direction, and the area was devoid of any curious eyes.She had to admit that Stephen's approach to personnel management was worth learning. In such a large enterprise, from top to bottom, the management was strict and without a single loophole.Cedric towered above Natalie, and he looked down at her. He tried to reign in his temper, succeeding after a few minutes.He turned around and said, "Follow me."His calm demeanor left Natalie perplexed. Was it because of the incident at the hospital entrance? Was he now concerned about his public image? But when did he become afr

It would have been better if Cedric hadn't mentioned that woman.Now that he had, Natalie's mood had turned sour.Especially after learning about Isabella's background—that she sought revenge! Between the two of them, whose mother was the real victim? Between Isabella and Natalie, who was the one who suffered the most?!Isabella's intense retaliatory measures had destroyed Natalie's marriage!And now, the man Natalie had been with for ten years asked her to step forward and clarify that she was the one at fault?!As they locked eyes, Cedric's heart trembled violently upon seeing the sorrow and anger in Natalie's eyes!"Natalie, you shouldn't hate her!" The man's tone became stern.Natalie retorted, "You are more despicable than her!" Her tone was sharp, and Cedric stiffened.The car Stephen sent arrived at this time. While walking towards the vehicle, Natalie uttered, "Pass on a message to Isabella!"As Natalie paused here, the bodyguard respectfully stepped out of the

Hearing this, Cedric looked at Isabella's sincere face. He closed his eyes and said, "We'll be fine."They would be fine, of course!After Isabella's affairs were settled, he would deal with Natalie properly!Thinking about his time in a frenzy because of Isabella's affairs and how Natalie had caused a mess...!In Isabella's heart, a storm raged. It was constantly contorting, but she covered it up exceptionally well. "Go and comfort her. She loves you so much; I'm sure she'll remarry you!"Cedric remained silent. When he thought of Stephen being Natalie's uncle, a sense of anxiety filled him. When did she start completely isolating him from her life? She didn't share anything with him.During this time...!Stephen gave her everything she had, and she even sat in the CEO's position at Sylvan Gems. In the past, Cedric never believed that Natalie had any work capabilities. At this moment, he still doubted her talents. Looking at her studio, he had to admit that she at least

After Cedric left, Christina looked at Rebecca's exhausted face and suggested, "Mom, why don't you also head back first?"While saying this, a calculating hint flashed in her eyes.Rebecca glanced at the still-sleeping Isabella and said worriedly, "It's okay; I'll stay here with her. The period after surgery is the most challenging alone.""I can take care of her. You shouldn't tire yourself too much. Alright?""Let's wait until she wakes up," Rebecca replied.Seeing her persistence, Christina didn't continue. But she felt a bit uncomfortable witnessing Rebecca's deep concern for Isabella. When Christina was hospitalized for appendicitis, she didn't see Rebecca personally staying by her side. Instead, she had sent caregivers and household servants to care for Christina.Those ladies used to say that Rebecca treated her like her own daughter.But now, compared to Isabella, it seemed otherwise!-Several days passed, and Cedric hadn't appeared before Natalie during this time.
