Chapter 158 Dim–witted

Half an hour later, Natalie met Bianca in a café and recounted the situation between Cedric and Irwin..

Bianca was also shocked.

“Irwin is Apex Global’s CEO! How did Cedric manage to do that?” Bianca wondered.

“I don’t know,” Natalie shook her head.

She didn’t know how Cedric had managed to get Irwin out of Verde City, but the current situation was

clearly not in her favor.

Bianca looked at Natalie with concern. Cedric’s proposal for remarriage, wasn’t a joke!

“Bia, why don’t you temporarily put aside what you’re working on and leave Verde City for a while?”

Natalie suggested.

“Will he come after me next?‘ Bianca grumbled.

Natalie silently observed her. Bianca also recalled the incident of the previous divorce case.

Cedric had a substantial infuence in Verde City. Whatever he wanted to do, there was no one to stop

him.

He was ruthless to everyone, and that included Natalie!

“From what I can tell, it seems like he has settled Isabella’s matter and has turned his attention back to

you,” Blanca remarked.

Natalie was silent.

“He probably agreed to the divorce previously because you kept pestering him about it. Since he had

no time on his hands to handle it, he probably used it as a method to temporarily coax you!”

“What do you mean?”

That shameless guy never had the intention of letting you go.”

Natalie’s face turned pala

He never planned on letting her go?!

Hearing Bianca’s words and the fact that Irwin had hastily left Verde City left an ominous feeling in the

air.

“Perhaps you should leave Verde City to avoid him, Blanca suggested after thinking for a moment:

“I’m not leaving!” Natalie asserted.

“I can’t leave now!”

If there was nothing holding her back, it wouldn’t be a problem to leave now.

However, putting aside her current commitments at Auro Studio, she was still the CEO of Sylvan

Gems.

She couldn’t up and leave just because she wanted to.

“Don’t panic. Just carry on with your work and see what he’s up to,” Bianca advised.

Both of them knew that when Cedric went mad, there were no boundaries.

After leaving the café, Natalie couldn’t shake off Bianca’s words about Cedric turning his attention back

to her and everything else she had said.

The more she thought about it, the more chaotic her mind became!

Natalie was reluctant to admit, but… there was a possibility that what Bianca said was right.

If Cedric had never intended to let her go

then why had he forced Natalie and Isabella to live together in

her previous life?

What the hell was that for?

Natalie’s breathing sped up as she continued to think

Bianca’s words and the scene from the last life where Cedric refused to divorce her kept replaying in

her

mind.

She couldn’t help but tremble.

Last time, Cedric was unwilling to

divorce her, even if it meant burning her to death.

So, how could he easily let her go in this life?

Just then, her phone vibrated. Natalle checked to see it was Stephen calling.

Trying her best to calm down, she answered, “Hello, Uncle!”

Did you call me just now?

“Yes.

“What happened?”

Natalie was currently sitting in her car, and she raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sun.

“Nothing much.”

After thinking it over, she decided not to tell Stephen. Maybe she and Bianca were too sensitive at this

stage?

“I have a meeting now, so I’m hanging up. Call me if you need anything, okay?”

“Sure.”

After hanging up the call, Natalie ran her hand over her face, Various emotions flashed on her face.

Cedric .!

Natalie thought she would no longer be involved with this man after she had divorced him.

But… she was really wrong!

If this m

If this man was so easily shaken off, she wouldn’t have ended up burnt to ashes in her previous life.

In the evening, Natalie returned to Elegance Bay, and Nigel greeted her respectfully, “Miss, you’re

finally

back.”

“What’s going on?” Natalie asked as she handed her bag to him.

Nigel replied, “Dinner has been ready for a while.”

Natalie checked the time on her wristwatch; it was

a bit late, already past dinner time.

As she went inside, she told Nigel, “In the future, have dinner prepared a bit later.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

After all, her work usually ended around this time. And if she did any overtime, she would be home

even

Tater than this.

Following Natalie’s request, the meal prepared for her was simple. It would have been extravagant if it

were according to Stephen’s preference.

Having grown up being thrifty, Natalie found such extravagance a waste. Although her parents had left

her

it, she wouldn’t have been able to make ends meet.

Natalie was only halfway through her meal when a commotion outside reached her ears. She glanced

at Nigel, who was also looking outside.

“Go and see what’s happening!”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Nigel was about to step out when someone burst through the entrance!

Leon was following behind the person, and they seemed to have just had a scuffle.

Natalie’s heart sank when she saw who it was.

“Mr. Johnson, it’s quite late now. Our mistress has been working all day and is tired. Please leave!”

Nigel said as he stepped forward to block Cedric.

Cedric stood where he was and smirked at Natalie, ignoring Nigel. His silence carried an overwhelming

sense of oppression.

Leon was furious. He was standing in a way that indicated he was ready for action.

If Natalie gave the order, things would surely escalate!

However, Natalie didn’t.

She knew that if Cedric had forced his way in here today, it must be because he had prepared

beforehand!

He never acted without a contingency plan.

“Nigel, he’s a guest. What are you doing?” Natalie looked at Cedric and spoke up, emphasizing the

word ”

guest.”

At Natalie’s words, Nigel stepped aside. Seeing how Natalie said nothing else, Nigel remained quiet as

Cedric sat opposite her.

Like a master, he ordered the servants, ‘Bring another set of utensils!”

I didn’t know you were coming, so they didn’t prepare extra,” Natalie said immediately after.

Natalie was already annoyed by Cedric’s Intrusion, but now he was acting like the master here!

As she finished speaking the air around him noticeably chilled. The next moment, the dining table was

overturned with a loud crash.

Natalie was still holding her utensils, and she was a bit slow to react to the sudden scene. The sev

on the scene were even more shocked and gasped in surprise.

After a while, Natalie snapped back to reality!

She glared fiercely at Cedric, her head throbbing with anger.

‘Cedric, are you out of your mind?!”

Not only did he barge in, but he also flipped the table?!

How dare he? Who the hell did he think he was?!

He was crazy.

He was wholly and utterly crazy!

Facing Cedric at this moment, Natalie instantly felt that what she mentioned to Irwin during the day was

nothing compared to this.

This was true madness.

In the face of Natalie’s anger, Cedric seemed completely indifferent.

A patronizing yet icy smile spread on his lips as he said, “What’s so great about eating alone? Come,

I’ll

take you to eat something delicious!
