When Cedric arrived at the hospital, the blood in the ward hadn't been cleaned up yet. His gaze fell on the large patches of fresh red on the folded bed sheet.His eyes narrowed.The young nurse who noticed Cedric trembled in fear. The air he exuded right now was powerful and intimidating to the core."Where is she?" Cedric roared.The nurse stammered in fright, "M-Ms. Morgan is in the emergency room!"With that, Cedric rushed towards the direction of the emergency room. On his way, he thought it was just a minor injury. However, seeing the blood on the bed and the floor moments ago...How much had been shed for her to...?!Even breathing felt like a chore at this moment to Cedric. Yuvan had also arrived at the scene, and he was already at the entrance of the emergency room."How is she?" Cedric asked Yuvan.Yuvan replied, "She's been inside for a while now. No updates yet, but they just handed me a critical condition notice."Cedric's expression grew colder at the news.
Cedric had indulged her too much in the past.He had also been misguided about her! To the extent that she committed so many outrageous acts!At this moment, Cedric firmly believed that Natalie was behind everything.He couldn't accept the fact that he had lived with such a treacherous woman for so many years.No, she wasn't like this before.It was all because of him... being overly indulgent!But that was okay; she would naturally revert once she faced some hardships.And naturally, she would come begging to him.That was what Cedric thought at this moment!Rebecca was still speaking. First, she criticized Natalie, and now she turned her attention to Cedric."Have you finally realized what kind of person she is now?""...""At this point, you're still protecting her?!" Rebecca recalled how Cedric had protected Natalie.Rebecca only felt anger toward Natalie at this moment!Cedric looked at Rebecca and said, "She should be at the police station now.""What are you sayin
On the other side, Cedric had left the hospital.Rebecca was there to stay with Isabella, so Cedric headed back to the company to deal with the land near Dragon Park. On his way back, he saw Natalie's Bugatti speeding past him.Cars on the road swerved to avoid the two luxury vehicles. A collision involving any of them would be financially unbearable!"Natalie..." When the name flashed through Cedric's mind, his eyes turned icy. "Follow her!" he ordered the driver in a cold tone.Swift accelerating, the driver followed Natalie's car. Soon, the two cars were speeding side by side. Cedric tilted his head and saw Natalie concentrating on driving. At that moment, a flash of anger crossed his eyes."Force her to stop!""Mr. Johnson, that's..." The driver's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Although he didn't see it was Natalie, it was still a Bugatti! Forcing her to stop might lead to a collision, and with his salary, he couldn't afford such consequences!"Hit her!"Ce
Rebecca looked at her with a deep sense of disgust. Then, she unabashedly said, "I've really underestimated you. How dare you?!""I don't know what you're talking about," Natalie replied, a phrase she had heard too often recently.Rebecca continued, "How could you treat Isabella like that? Do you realize that your actions could ruin her life?"Natalie was silent."What happened to the teachings I imparted to you? It's as if our family wasted our efforts letting you in!" Rebecca grew angrier as she spoke.Thinking about Isabella's miserable state in the hospital, she wished she could gouge out Natalie's beautiful eyes and transplant them into Isabella's eye sockets!Natalie was washing her hands at the sink, and she froze for a moment after Rebecca finished speaking. She looked at Rebecca through the mirror with a cold smile on her lips. "Since when did you start caring about Isabella?""I'm talking about your...""Teachings?" Natalie finished Rebecca's sentence, tearing off
Compared to the harmony between Natalie and Irwin, things were tense on Cedric's side in the office. He exuded an icy aura, and many executives were severely scolded during the meeting.When he exited the conference room, Yuvan was waiting outside. "Have you investigated the situation?" Cedric asked sharply without waiting for Yuvan to report.Yuvan glanced nervously at Cedric, and a chill ran down his spine. As Cedric walked ahead with his imposing figure, he suddenly stopped and turned with a sharp gaze.Yuvan hesitated momentarily before answering, "Regarding last night, it seems that it was indeed Stephen who got involved. We're looking to investigate the matter thoroughly now.""Investigate the matter?" Cedric furrowed his brow."Yes, it was a request from his side. They want a clear understanding of the situation."Cedric sneered. Stephen wanted the matter looked into?!Hah... Interesting!"If that's the case, make sure to investigate thoroughly.""Yes, sir!"Of c
Natalie didn't have time to play around with her like this. So, she called Karina over, who promptly came over."What's going on?" Karina asked."Any updates?" Natalie was referring to the private investigator Karina had hired.Karina checked the time on her wristwatch. "Not yet, but we should get it in the next couple of days.""Alright."Natalie was genuinely curious about why Isabella harbored such intense resentment toward her. Karina understood Natalie's intent. Isabella's arrival in Verde City seemed directly connected to her, and Natalie wanted to uncover the truth behind it as quickly as possible. Understanding the sequence of events was crucial for Natalie to plan her next steps.However, before learning the motives behind Isabella's hatred, it was impossible for Natalie to trust anything she might attempt against her."In half an hour, the two new designers will arrive. Would you like to conduct the interviews personally?""No need. You handle it," Natalie repli
"Do I still need to go?" Isabella asked with a smile.At this moment, she keenly sensed the feelings emanating from Christina, and it was crystal clear! There was a mix of fear and disbelief.Indeed!How could Christina believe it?All those schemes against Natalie in the Johnson Manor over the years were nothing more than child's play.At this moment, Christina finally saw what methods were truly used when scheming against someone!"You're insane!" With that, Christina turned and left without a glance back.The harsh clicking of Christina's heels against the floor and the uneven shuffling revealed how badly she had been affected.As Isabella listened to the fading footsteps, she let out a mocking and creepy laugh.When paired with her eerie eye sockets, the entire ward seemed to have plunged into a terrifying hell.-Christina didn't know how she left Isabella's ward. She reached out to study her fingers, which had just caressed Isabella's eye sockets."Ugh... Blargh..
What Natalie didn't know was that Irwin was never one to meddle in others' affairs. He had also never bothered to meet any business partners in person, regardless of who had introduced them to him. Yet, not only had they met, but Irwin had also personally reviewed her proposal and even deliberately helped introduce businesses to her, whether intentionally or not.-The bidding was like a covert battle...!The importance of the land next to Dragon Park for Cedric was self-evident, and the entire Johnson family was watching!However, Natalie was equally determined. Regardless of whether Cedric was invested in the land, she was only accountable to her own collaborator.After three sleepless nights, her current appearance, if not for the thick makeup, would clearly reveal the strain on her face.Of course, the result did not disappoint.And here it was...!The result was that...Premier Garden Corporation won the bid!At that moment, the atmosphere was even more solemn than
