Chapter 120 Getting Bolder
The next day. Natalie woke up early.
When she came down, Stephen was already at the dining table. Seeing the tired look on her face, he
frowned and asked, “Didn’t sleep well?”
“Yeah.”
Of course, she couldn’t sleep well.
How could she after learning such earth–shattering news all of a sudden?!
Even digesting it would take time.
Stephen placed a glass of milk before her, saying. “This is what your aunt was worried about.”
Speaking of Heather, Natalie felt a wave of gratitude. It’s a good thing she had her uncle, her aunt, her
cousin…
They wouldn’t let her end up like she did in her previous life.
Taking a sip of the milk, she asked Stephen, “How are you getting there later?”
At her words, Stephen checked the time on his wristwatch. “My people will be here shortly. I’ll take you
with me.”
“Me?”
“Yeah.” Stephen nodded.
Natalie tightened her grip on her spoon. Verde City wasn’t that big, and Stephen wouldn’t stay here for too
long.
She didn’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
“No need,” she said, worried about running into Cedric again.
Sometimes, life was just like that. There were no such things as coincidences.
She had encountered Cedric when driving her Bugatti and then again with a Pagani…
If she went out with Stephen today and bumped into him again, that would be…
Cedric hadn’t quite recovered from their ten–year relationship ending, and Natalie worried he might not
handle it well and vent his frustrations on her again.
If she encountered such a situation, it would just be another headache.
Stephen asked, “Haven’t you already divorced him? Why worry?”
“That’s not it You know the Johnson family’s style. I just got Rebecca so angry she ended up in the hospital. I don’t even know if she’s awake now!”
Stephen stiffened. “What happened?
Stephen had been in Simeria, and he only knew the bits and pieces about Natalie’s entanglement with the
Johnson family from Karina. So, he was mostly still In the dark about everything.
Natalie peeled a boiled egg and explained, “You remember introducing me to Mr. Frazier, right?”
“Yes. What happened after?”
“Irwin took an interest in a project, which the Johnson family was also competing for.”
She didn’t need to tell Stephen the rest of the story. Due to Irwin and Natalie’s collaboration, the Johnson family lost a massive project.
“What? So, she’s been unconscious since then?”
Stephen was shocked.
That incident had put her in a coma?!
“Of course not. But after that, Mr. Frazier introduced me to Premier Garden. They were interested in bidding for the project right next to Dragon Park,” Natalie explained.
family was
“And the Johnson family was involved in this too?”
“Yeah,” Natalie confirmed.
It seemed that even the heavens were against them, huh?
Stephen typically looked dignified and serious, but now, there was a hint of amusement on his face.
“Interesting!” he said after a moment’s reflection. “So, if Cedric sees me out with you early in the morning,
he’ll come after me?”
Even if they were divorced, he might still be a nuisance.
After all, she had seen what he could dol
She didn’t want him to bug her again.
Understanding her reluctance, Stephen didn’t insist. When someone was furious, they were capable of
anything.
So, avoiding confrontation was wise.
I won’t take you with me, then. But you can’t drive your Pagani today,” Stephen warned.
Natalie shook her head. She didn’t care what car she drove. The ostentatious displays from her uncle were giving her a headache.
However, something more headache–inducing awaited her!
But soon after, someone delivered a car to her.
Seeing the dazzling Aston Martin, Natalie felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly called Karina, “Just get me a regular car, please.”
When Natalie was with Cedric, she thought he led a luxurious and high–profile lifestyle. After seeing her uncle’s way of life, she realized that each one was more extravagant than the other.
However, she didn’t expect that due to Rebecca being unconscious, Cedric also arrived at the office later
The office that Karina had arranged for her happened to be in the adjacent building to Cedric’s.
