Chapter 198 Chaos

The comforting aura emanating from the man always unconsciously made Natalie feel at ease. At

some point, she drifted into a deep sleep in the passenger seat.

Upon arriving at their destination, Irwin looked at Natalie’s peaceful sleeping face. Subconsciously, he

traced the contours of her face. Her face was indeed small.

Just then, his phone vibrated. The notification sound from the headlines app prompted Irwin to take out

his phone. As he turned off the silent mode, a storm flashed through his eyes as he saw the contents of

the notification.

He glanced at the sleeping Natalie, got out of the car, and gently closed the door. He made a call

behind the car. The call was quickly answered.

“Sir!”

“I don’t want to see today’s news again,” Irwin said.

“Are you referring to Ms. Walker…‘ The person on the other end of the line hesitated for a moment,

then

realized.

Recently, Irwin and Natalie had been getting closer. When the close relationship between Natalie and

him was exposed before, he hadn’t reacted this way.

So, was he protecting her now?

When he figured this out, the person on the other end of the phone didn’t dare to continue asking.

Instead, he hurriedly said, “I’ll handle it right away!”

He hung up the phone. A cold gleam flashed in Irwin’s eyes. It seemed that the relationship between

Cedric and Natalie was not as easily concluded.

He had seen Natalie’s attitude, but on Cedric’s side…!

Just after hanging up the call with his assistant, his phone rang again.

Irwin checked and… it turned out to be him?!

Iran’s lips curled into a smile. He answered, and Cedric’s voice came through before Irwin could speak

Irwin’s tone was arrogant and blunt, lacking the gentleness he had in front of Natalie.

On the other end, Cedric huffed angrily before he continued, “Irwin, I don’t want any business dealings

between us.”

“Neither do 1.”

“In that case, don’t interfere in the matters between Natalie and me!”

Irwin remained silent.

At this, a chilly atmosphere filled the air.

“I haven’t settled the accounts with you for what happened abroad. And here you are, giving me a

warning?” Irwin asked.

“You could say that.”

“In that case, let

e tell you today- interfere all I want in Natalie’s affairs!”

Irwin showed no signs of yielding in the face of Cedric’s warning. The man could give all the warnings

he wanted, but Irwin would remain steadfast in his stance.

“Will the Frazier family allow that?” Cedric sneered at Irwin’s words.

The Frazier family!

That was something Irwin least wanted to face. It was a family with distinct social classes, like a

complex and tangled web that was difficult to unravel.

“Irwin, she’s my wife! Do you think the Frazier family will let you interfere in our affairs?”

Cedric’s voice had a hint of warning in it.

“She’s no longer your wife. It seems you haven’t grasped that fact!”

In that case. Cedric didn’t continue his sentence, but the implication was clear.

He had deliberately called Irwin because Cedric was considering the influence of the Frazier family.

However, Irwin was an independent man who stood at the pinnacle by his own strength.

How could he tolerate Cedric’s provocation?

Ower

Irwin didn’t know what had happened between them, but he understood–Cedric was serious this time.

After ending the call, he returned to the car to see Natalie awake and looking at her phone. The

headlines he saw still hadn’t been taken down, and Natalie had seen it!

Her complexion didn’t look good, and she was a little pale.

“Want some water?” He offered a bottle to Natalie.

Natalie’s chest heaved continuously. She accepted the water from Irwin with a brief “thank you.”

She opened the bottle and gulped down half of it in one go, feeling the oppressive feeling in her chest

slightly eased.

Verde City was in complete chaos. Everyone was in disarray. Rumors of her entanglement with Cedric

and collusion with Irwin were spreading widely.

The news about Isabella being her sister also came out. The biased public opinion that had previously

leaned towards her because of Isabella now seemed to be completely overturned.

She had become a wicked woman. The rumors suggested that she was unable to tolerate the

relationship

between her sister and Cedric, so she had bribed the doctor to make the surgery fail.

Now, the online rumors about her were overwhelming, with comments exceeding a hundred thousand

in

a short time.

Once again, she became the target of online harassment.

“Will you be okay?” Irwin took her phone from her hands, his tone gentle.

His consideration touched Natalie. She looked at Irwin, who didn’t ask anything but exuded a silent

caring atmosphere.

Thank you, I’m fine.”

Because of his thoughtfulness, she couldn’t afford to let him down on his project.

Irwin nodded. He got out of the car and came to her side. When Natalle opened the car door, the man’s

hand gallantly shielded her head, preventing her from hitting the top as she got out.

NTHIA Was Uuly beautiful.

ost at her smile and felt that she exuded a strong sense of pride.

At this moment, when almost half of Verde City was attacking her, she could still focus on her work.

This alone indicated that she had nothing to hide!

If she had done something wrong or was timid, she wouldn’t be able to endure it.

Throughout the project inspection process, Natalie was completely focused on her work. She didn’t

display a hint of any other emotions.

She didn’t know about Cedric’s phone call threatening Irwin and was unaware of what awaited her

beyond.

public opinion.

At this moment, all she could do was overturn those accusations. No matter what Cedric did, she was

ready to face it head–on.

Now, she and Cedric had truly reached the end of their fate.”

There was no turning back for either of them.

There was no chance to look back, and Cedric had lost the right to do so.

The progress of the eastern suburbs and Dragon Park project was going well. Looking at the project

she had taken from Cedric, Natalie found some comfort in this accomplishment.

“I must say, you’re a great designer,‘ Irwin said as he opened the car door for her after they were done

with the site inspection.

Natalie smiled, “It wasn’t easy to snatch the project from him. So, I have to design the best for it! It’s a

matter of pride.”

She needed to fight for her pride!

Considering Cedric’s exceptional design department, her move also served as a message to the

Johnson family and Cedric,

It was her way of telling them she wasn’t useless, and leaving Cedric didn’t mean she couldn’t survive!.
