Chapter 124 Salvaging Something
This development surprised Natalie.
Cedric had been unpredictable all day. First, he hadn’t made a scene in the basement earlier, and now he didn’t make a fuss seeing her with her uncle.
Had he undergone a transformation?!
“Why are you here?” Natalie approached and said as calmly as possible.
Fortunately, the staff here displayed impeccable professionalism. The receptionist didn’t spare a glance in their direction, and the area was devoid of any curious eyes.
She had to admit that Stephen’s approach to personnel management was worth learning. In such a large enterprise, from top to bottom, the management was strict and without a single loophole.
Cedric towered above Natalie, and he looked down at her. He tried to reign in his temper, succeeding after a few minutes.
He turned around and said, “Follow me.”
His calm demeanor left Natalie perplexed.
Was it because of the incident at the hospital entrance? Was he now concerned about his public image?
But when did he become afraid?
Cedric was such a shameless man, and no one in Verde City would dare openly criticize him…
So what was there for him to fear?
When they reached the parking lot, Cedric opened the car door and stood silently by it. There was no
previous hysteria, but his current demeanor made Natalie even more nervous.
Straightening up, she said, “If there’s something, let’s discuss it here. I drove myself here.”
“Natalie!”
It was just one word, but Natalie was able to discern the suppressed emotions in his tone. As he looked
at her, the crimson hue in his eyes revealed the emotions even more under the broad daylight.
Natalie couldn’t help but swallow nervously. Though she had encountered this side of Cedric before, she
felt like an impending storm was about to erupt.
Eventually, Natalie glanced around and got into the car.

tha bang, Cedric took the driver’s seat. He hadn’t brought a driver with him today.
In the next moment.
Ahhhh.
Natalie’s scream echoed over Verde City.
“You madman! Stop, stop! Stop! Ugh…” ($)
The car sped through the city, weaving recklessly through traffic. What should have been a majestic
phantom now tumed into a wild ride.
“Ah!!” Seeing the car heading straight for a truck, Natalie screamed in terror. Every muscle in her body
tensed, unable to relax.
Cedric was insane! He had lost his mind!
Had he reached the point of fury, ready to vent it out by endangering her life?!
Natalie’s anxiety escalated as she thought more about the situation, causing her whole body to become increasingly tense.
“Ahhh!”
She screamed again, too scared to look. She quickly crouched beneath the dashboard. Closing her eyes, she covered her head with both hands. Despite being inside the car, the speed still made her feel like she might be launched out at any moment.
Her heart pounded wildly in her chest, and she feared that she might even have a heart attack. She didn’t know if she would survive getting out of the car alive!
It wasn’t until ten minutes later that the car finally came to a stop. The sound of a river and water slapping against the shore filled the air.
Natalie opened the car door and rushed to the side, vomiting uncontrollably. While she wasn’t prone to motion sickness, Cedric’s driving was another story.
“Blargh…!”
Having barely eaten anything, she expelled all the water she had drunk in the meeting room.

Her face was ashen, and she was clearly frightened. In her current state, she couldn’t muster the strength to curse Cedric even if she wanted to.
After a while, she stood up. Her legs were still trembling. Although she had been in the car during Cedric’s
Tuming around, she met the man’s proud and noble eyes.

Natalle closed her eyes, attempting to find words to express her current emotions to Cedric. However,
she struggled to find an appropriate description.
Stephen was her uncle?! Ha
Natalie tensed up. “What does it matter? No one can stop you if you want to be a fool!”
wrist and pressed her against the car hood.
She could feel the chilling metal beneath her through her clothes.
Meeting his furious gaze and acknowledging the eerie silence around them, Natalle realized how easy it
