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

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 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

Cedric looked at Natalie, whose anger had reached a certain level, and casually glanced at the phone in his cup."Come here." His tone was sharp and authoritative.Natalie sat still, showing clear resistance. The meaning of her confrontation with him was so obvious.The man roared, "Everyone else, leave!"The people present, feeling like they had been granted amnesty, hurriedly left. Only Natalie and Cedric remained. The man stood up and strode towards her.Natalie instinctively wanted to escape, but her anger kept her rooted in place. The man's domineering presence enveloped her completely. Before she could react, he lifted her from the chair like she weighed nothing."Natalie, did I indulge you too much before?" There was restrained anger in his tone. He carried her and threw her onto the sofa. Natalie tried to get up, but Cedric firmly pressed her down before she could."Who the hell gave you the guts to make a scene for another man, huh?"The pressure on her shoulde

Natalie lunged at him!Seeing the crazy look in her eyes, Cedric grabbed her hand. Natalie's wrist was delicate, and he easily held it in his grasp.Natalie was restrained and couldn't move.She glared fiercely at Cedric, her anger turning her eyes bloodshot. "Now you know what it feels like to be driven insane? You used to be quite good at causing a scene, weren't you?" he taunted and pressed a forceful kiss on her lips!Natalie knew he was settling the score for her earlier tantrum during their divorce. However, she retorted, "Why didn't you have a conscience when I sought a divorce? How dare you come to settle scores now?!""You did those things! Who else would I hold accountable for them if not you?" he replied."There's nothing between us now! You can't get over it, huh?" Natalie had lost her composure. She never thought that merely seeking a divorce would lead to such a revengeful response from him. Thinking about what had happened in her past life, she...!She too
