Chapter 161 Seeking Compensation
“What’s going on? Tell me everything!”
In fact, Bianca could already guess what had happened.
Natalie glanced at Bianca and recounted everything that happened tonight after returning to Elegance
Bay and the words Cedric had said at Scarlet Villa.
After listening, Bianca exclaimed, “I knew that shameless guy would do something like this!”
“What should we do now? Bianca asked.
They had considered everything before, except for the fact that a simple divorce agreement and divorce
certificate wouldn’t be enough to get rid of Cedric.
Or rather, in his fit of anger, he had done something unexpected.
Now, it seemed like he was holding Natalie accountable for everything.
“What can we do? I can’t go anywhere now! And…” Natalie trailed off. She glanced at Bianca and
continued, “I dare not tell my uncle!”
“Why not tell him?”
Bianca was speechless.
When a woman was mistreated by a deadbeat, wasn’t it customary to seek help from her family?
As Natalie had no parents, her uncle was her only natal family left. Now that Cedric was forcing her into such situations and Natalie was powerless to fight back, the first thing she should do was seek the help of her elders!
Natalie understood what Bianca meant.
Sighing, she said, “Cedric has already sorted out Isabella’s situation. Isn’t he just turning around to deal with me now?”
“Given his consistent personality, he must have prepared for all this long before doing anything like that.”
She hesitated to inform her uncle because she didn’t know what Cedric had in store for her next
If she told Stephen…
What if there was a trap waiting for him?
Bianca also understood Natalie’s concern. “He probably won’t go after your uncle, right?”
In Bianca’s view, Cedric was not only coming back to settle the score with Natalie but also to reconcile.
If he wanted to be together, he would need to please Stephen, and he wouldn’t dare to go against him.
Right?
“He never does things according to the rules!” Natalie said with frustration.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
That night, Natalie couldn’t sleep. The next day, when she went to work directly from Bianca’s place without changing her clothes, she met Zane, who looked serious.
“Ms. Walker.
“What’s wrong?”
“The people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau are here!”
Natalie’s heart skipped a beat at the mention of it. Although she hadn’t encountered it before, being Cedric’s wife for so many years, she knew what the Industrial and Commercial Bureau dealt with.
Usually, such actions indicate a reported issue within the company.
“And…” Zane hesitantly trailed off. His face became more solemn.
Natalie understood that the situation might be more serious than she thought.
“And what else?” Her heart tightened a bit.
“The tax officials are on their way too.”
“Is there a problem with the company?” She had been busy with new product matters recently and hadn’t had time to sort out the old affairs of the company.
Zane looked at her and said, “Mr. Jarvis suggested that you don’t come to the company for the next few days. I’ll handle it.”
You will?!
+15 BONUS
“Yeah.”
“Will you be okay?” Natalie regretted saying this as soon as the words left her mouth.
After all, Zane was also one of Stephen’s special assistants.
Why wouldn’t he be okay?
Without waiting for Zane to respond, Natalie nodded.
“Fine, you handle it here. I’ll go to the studio for the next few days.”
“Yes, ma’am!” Zane nodded.
Stephen already knew about it.
Driving out of the company, Natalie felt a chill all over.
Taking a deep breath, she hung up the phone. If she continued the conversation, she was afraid she would lose control and cause an accident.
