This man was now...!Her anger was almost consuming her.On the other hand, Cedric showed no sign of losing control due to her emotional outburst. He was like a completely different person from before!He handed his empty plate to the nearby butler and stepped forward, pulling Natalie forcefully into his arms. His strong and powerful arms held her firmly, rendering her helpless!"Bastard! Let me go!""You still haven't figured it out yet, huh? What we need to resolve now isn't the matter of remarriage.""You...""If you don't behave now, do you want to skip work tomorrow? Or do you plan never to go to Sylvan Gems in the future?" The man's tone was gentle, but his words carried a veiled threat.Yes, it was a threat!At this moment, he was threatening Natalie.Previously...! Because Cedric's focus was on Isabella, he didn't have time to deal with her antics. Every action she took was enough to drive him crazy.Now, he had enough time. He also had the patience to engage
"What's going on? Tell me everything!" In fact, Bianca could already guess what had happened.Natalie glanced at Bianca and recounted everything that happened tonight after returning to Elegance Bay and the words Cedric had said at Scarlet Villa.After listening, Bianca exclaimed, "I knew that shameless guy would do something like this!""...""What should we do now?" Bianca asked.They had considered everything before, except for the fact that a simple divorce agreement and divorce certificate wouldn't be enough to get rid of Cedric. Or rather, in his fit of anger, he had done something unexpected. Now, it seemed like he was holding Natalie accountable for everything."What can we do? I can't go anywhere now! And..." Natalie trailed off. She glanced at Bianca and continued, "I dare not tell my uncle!""Why not tell him?" Bianca was speechless. When a woman was mistreated by a deadbeat, wasn't it customary to seek help from her family?As Natalie had no parents, her u
The man's rough fingers teased her lips. Being so close to him, Natalie could see the anger in his eyes!Unlike how cruel he was to other people, he would only, at most, be angry at her. His methods of dealing with people had always been chilling!"Tell me, where did the well-educated and reasonable Ms. Walker go?" It was fine not to bring it up, but Natalie struggled even harder when this man mentioned it. "Let go of me! Release me, you...!"Mmph!" It hurt!The man continued his attempts.His breath and scent... It was exactly the same!But his temper... After a long while, with Natalie in pain and tears streaming down her face, the man finally let her go. He haphazardly patted her after doing so."What the hell are you doing?!" Natalie was furious!"Did you turn out like this because you have your uncle's support?"She was acting like a little tiger! At this moment, looking at Natalie, there was nothing left of her previous gentle and generous demeanor."Get los
Another way!? Without needing to think, Natalie knew it wouldn't be a good option. In the next moment, she heard Cedric say, "From today onwards, what I say goes. How does that sound to you?""Do you think that's possible?""Why wouldn't it be? Right now, you have to listen to me, don't you?" Natalie gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear this man apart.Cedric stood up. He looked at her infuriated expression, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her forcefully.Natalie struggled, but the strength of his grip left her with nowhere to escape. She despised it—every touch, every kiss!Just the thought of him being intimate with other women made her want to scratch his face. Finally, he let her go. Natalie was about to raise her hand to strike him when she saw the threatening smirk on his lips. In the end, she managed to control her trembling hand.He patted her cheek, touched her jawbone, and said, "Behave, hmm?" Natalie wished she could break his hand, but she coul
The atmosphere in Verde City was suddenly confusing, like navigating through a maze.Christina personally escorted Isabella to Sapphire. She had also arranged for two servants to care for Isabella.Isabella sat in the apartment's lobby. The journey here was bumpy, surrounded by darkness. Now, in this new environment, even the air felt unfamiliar.Christina was on a call on the balcony. "Alright, I understand!" Her tone sounded unpleasant, and her expression was even worse. Hanging up the phone, a fierce look flashed in her eyes.Natalie...! Was this matter not over yet?Just as Natalie thought, Christina also believed that once Cedric and Natalie divorced, it would be the end for them. But who would have expected Cedric to act like this?! Christina glared fiercely at Isabella, who looked lifeless inside. With a loud bang, Christina almost slammed the glass door off its hinges.Her high heels clacked against the floor as Christina walked in. Despite the anger in her moveme
Natalie was more than just angry at this point!Her anger did nothing to affect Cedric. She was initially uneasy, but now it felt even more stifling!"Give me the original document," Natalie demanded. When Zane called, she had wanted to bring up the issue of a mole in the company. But considering the already tense atmosphere today, she decided to address it tomorrow at work.Cedric looked at Natalie with the same self-satisfaction Natalie used to display towards him."It's at Scarlet Villa."Natalie fell silent. They continued their journey to Scarlet Villa without another word between them. When they got out, Lucas took the items from the bag and handed them to Cedric in a small pouch, which Cedric then passed to Natalie."Still using your family's things after getting married? It won't look good if others hear about it.""Whatever," Natalie snapped, grabbing the bag. She didn't want to engage with him right now.In the past decade, Cedric had given her all sorts of valuab
Natalie didn't leave Scarlet Villa immediately. Instead, she went to another room and called Stephen. Soon, the call was answered. "Nat!""Uncle, I want to come back to Simeria," Natalie tentatively said.Stephen was stunned."What's going on?""There are some things on Sylvan Gems's side that will probably take a few days to handle. I miss you and want to come back to see you!""No need. We've got some issues at headquarters recently, and I won't have time to spend with you if you come back," Stephen replied.It had been many years, and Stephen probably had never been this busy before. There was a hint of exasperation in his words to Natalie at this moment.Natalie closed her eyes. She understood the meaning behind Cedric's words. It was at this moment that Natalie realized... what did the ten years she spent with Cedric mean? She hadn't even seen through the surface of this man."Alright, I'll come back when you're less busy.""It'll be New Year in two months. Why do
Natalie wanted to go to the guest room! However, the man gave her a threatening look, ultimately forcing her to return to their previous master bedroom. Natalie couldn't calm down when she saw how familiar everything was."Are you really not going to shower?" Seeing her standing at the door without moving, the man blew softly on her neck, making Natalie tense. She turned around and looked at him, hatred evident in her eyes.In her past life, he had burned her in this place.And in this life, he still had to force her like this!What did she owe this man in their past lives to have such grievances in this life? Just as Natalie was at a loss for words in her anger, her phone vibrated loudly, breaking the tension between them.Glancing at the number, she noted it was a call from Bianca. She answered, "Hello, Bia!""Are you back in Elegance Bay already?""Yeah." She didn't mention that she was at Scarlet Villa. She didn't want Bianca to worry. To Bianca, Cedric had nev
