Zane nodded, "I understand." This time, Zane was quite satisfied with how Natalie chose to handle the situation. He had to admit that sitting in her current position required such boldness. Regardless of who it was, she needed to respond forcefully without any reservations. This was what Stephen wanted. Earlier, Stephen had allowed Natalie to be buffeted by public opinion to temper her character and develop her resilience. Individuals like them had to be strong; after all, she was the future leader of Regal Horizons, and she would need to handle many matters personally.As Zane left, the office door slammed open.Natalie looked up from the computer and saw Cedric standing at the door, exuding an ominous coldness.The coldness... was shrouded in danger!Natalie closed her eyes. "What do you want?"Leaning against the doorframe, Cedric said, "Do you want to confess voluntarily, or should I interrogate you?""Do what you want!" Natalie was infuriated, and she flung her p

Though the remaining kidnapper was currently overseas, Natalie had her eye on him. She was determined to find the person no matter what means necessary.The private investigator reported, "I've essentially determined the general direction. I'm narrowing down the search now. Rest assured, there won't be any mistakes."This implied that the kidnapper was likely surrounded by the private investigator's people.Natalie finally felt a bit relieved in her heart. Taking a deep breath, she said, "You're doing well. Time is of the essence.""Don't worry."The voice on the other end sounded confident.After hanging up the phone, Natalie felt her world calm again. She didn't want to do this and even disdained to do it all. But since those people insisted, she had no choice but to be ruthless!-After Natalie informed Stephen about everything, everything was overturned in an instant as she had expected!When Cedric came to pick her up after work in the evening, Natalie stood before he

"Cedric, she's dead! Do you understand?!" As Isaac finished speaking, he instantly erupted in anger. This was the first time Cedric had seen Isaac this angry. His heart tightened at the sight.He had to admit that an easy-going person like Isaac was only that way because no one had crossed the line with him.But now, things were different. The person he had been searching for all these years, the person he had never let go of...She was dead, and Isaac had gotten the news in the worst possible way.There was a dangerous glint in Isaac's eyes. There was no trace of the cheerfulness that usually lined his face. There was only an endless coldness."Isaac, I know you're upset, but I don't know what to tell you right now!"There was a lot to be said about this matter right now. However, there was nothing Cedric could say until his investigation was complete.The only thing he could do for now was to say nothing.Isaac's face hardened."Are you still protecting her?"Was he r

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 bef

At the Johnson Manor, Christina was in her room, looking at the online discussions on her phone. She could hear noises from downstairs as she did. Obviously, Rebecca was throwing a tantrum.A faint smile appeared on her lips. She changed into different clothes and went out. As she walked to the stairs, she saw Rebecca still on the phone."What's going on now?" Rebecca asked angrily, not holding back her frustration. It was unclear what the person on the other end of the call had said.Rebecca was already in a bad mood, and she was practically burning in anger now. "Weren't you getting along well with her before? What happened? Tell me, is it related to Isabella?"Christina could now discern that Rebecca was talking to Cedric on the phone. Rebecca had genuinely disliked Natalie before this. However, since she found out about Natalie being the Regal Horizon International's chairman's niece and also his future successor, Rebecca had grown attached to her. She genuinely hoped N
