It took a lot of willpower for Christina not to crumble under Cedric's sharp questioning!Just when she feared Cedric might ask something else, he finally let her go."You can leave now." This sentence was like a reprieve for Christina. She had never wished to escape so badly before.Before this, she had always tried to spend as much time with him as possible when she could.But today, he had exuded such an imposing presence.It was terrifying!After Christina left, Cedric was alone in the car. It took a long time before the storm in his eyes dissipated.It was evident that both Rebecca and Christina hadn't lied. So... what was Natalie hiding from him?-At Sylvan Gems, as Natalie returned to her office after the meeting, she received a call from Stephen. His tone was somewhat serious!"Are you getting close to Cedric again?""Uncle!""Is he threatening you?"Natalie sighed, rubbing her temples. "It's nothing like that.""Zane and Karina told me something differen

Natalie couldn't bring herself to treat those who had a connection with Isabella well. She especially hated it when they talked about her blood relation to Isabella.When that happened, Natalie would instantly lose her cool.-When the news about Natalie and Cedric broke out, Christina was the one who was most anxious about it. She never expected that once Isabella's matter was resolved, it would lead to Cedric and Natalie getting involved again!It had happened in the blink of an eye!She immediately drove to Sapphire.-Inside the apartment, Isabella was under the care of two servants. As the Johnson family wanted to ensure Isabelle was well taken care of, they paid the servants a high enough salary. By doing so, the two servants treated her quite well. But no matter how well they treated her, even if these two became her eyes and ears... What could she do? Her world... was in complete darkness!When Christina arrived, she saw Isabella eating fruits."You're living qui

What does it feel like to have someone practically hold one's life in their hands?Natalie had already thoroughly experienced it!Back when she was struggling in the Johnson family, life was tough, But at most, it was the pain of a wounded heart and the days of being mocked by Rebecca. At least back then, there wasn't much to worry about.Now, she had her uncle, who was a strong support. Yet, Cedric had turned his attention to her after he settled Isabella's matters, and had managed to reduce her to this state!Natalie had to admit that the feeling was truly unpleasant!"Sit down and eat properly!" The two stared at each other.Natalie was full of anger! On the other hand, Cedric was smiling calmly.But in that smile, there was a clear threat.Natalie sat down. She picked up her knife and fork, stabbing fiercely into the food on her plate. She ended up with a mess on her plate that looked terrible at a glance.Cedric glanced at her and said, "There's no need to be so ang

The two of them locked eyes and neither backed down!The atmosphere around them was tense."Natalie, you're so daring now, huh?""Cedric, don't push me too hard!"She would stay here because of the situation with her uncle, but this was already her limit.Cedric also realized it.If they continued to push, this woman might...!Taking a deep breath, he restrained his anger and said, "You're not allowed to do this again!""It's not that you can't see her. There's a simple solution: just don't get involved with me!" Natalie refused to back down.Christina's phone call made her understand something!The start of her relationship with Cedric had thrown many people into chaos. If they went crazy, they would do so without any limits. Meanwhile, Cedric had started rumors that they might not be divorced and might even remarry that afternoon. And now, he was going to Sapphire alone in the evening?!Who did he think would bear the embarrassment?!"Stephen really spoiled you!" Ce

Natalie sneered and ignored Christina. She wasn't even bothered to respond.Instead, she opened the door and got into the car without a word.Seeing Natalie ignore her, Christina rushed forward and grabbed Natalie's car window with both hands. "Natalie, are you feeling proud now?""There's nothing to be proud of, don't you think?""...""I don't have time to spare for that anyway." Natalie seemed indifferent, which contrasted sharply with Christina's anger. Sometimes, indifference was the most cutting response. While one person meticulously planned and schemed, the other was too preoccupied to care."I'm buying those things with my own money! Why won't you sell to me? Aren't you afraid that I'll report you?""Report me for what? Sylvan Gems' items are limited edition every year. If you can't buy them, it's because you're too slow!""You...""Is there anything else?""Natalie, don't be too arrogant!""Let go!" Natalie didn't want to engage in this boring conversation.
