Chapter 181 Not Giving In
As soon as Stephen mentioned Irwin’s return, a complex array of emotions flashed through Natalie’s mind.
Up to this point, Stephen only knew that Cedric was the reason for his inability to enter Verde City.
But as for Irwin’s side of the
tor Stephen was unaware.
Guilt welled up within her.
“It seems like everything went smoothly on his end!”
Natalie sighed in relief.
Stephen remarked, “He’s youthful and bold!”
The words held some ambiguous meaning, but Natalie sensed the urgency in Irwin’s situation.
She remained silent.
Stephen continued discussing work matters, offering insights into business strategies, all of which
Natalie absorbed.
After ending the call, the secretary entered and said, ‘Ms. Walker, Mr. Johnson is here!”
Natalie had just relaxed, and she frowned at the news.
Cedric entered, followed by Yuvan, holding a takeout box.
“So soon?”
Natalie was clearly caught off guard by Cedric’s swift arrival. After all, she only managed to get in two
phone calls.
Is the meeting over, or has it not started?” Cedric asked instead of answering her question.
Natalie pursed her lips, unwilling to speak. Seeing her Irritated expression, Cedric chuckled with a hint of
indulgence in his eyes that Yuvan noticed.
After setting up the meal, Yuvan left. As the door closed, the look in Yuvan’s eyes changed.
Now that only Natalie and Cedric were left in the room, Cedric walked over to her.
He pulled her up from the chair and said, “Even if you’re busy, you need to eat, hmm?”
one was unusually gentle
This gentleness was something Natalie had experienced in a previous life.
Unfortunately, everything had changed!
And in place were the hurtful public opinion, cold remarks, Cedric’s doubts, and his ruthlessness.
The food he brought was from a restaurant she used to enjoy.
Natalie said indifferently, “You don’t need to do this.”
For her, it was too late.
Cedric sensed the emotions in her tone but failed to grasp the underlying message.
“Irwin is coming back!”
Natalie replied, “You’re well–informed!”
“Don’t you want to avoid involving more people in our affairs?”
Natalie looked at Cedric, the coldness in her eyes evident. She stared at him. His eyes appeared gentle
and indulgent, yet the warning was clear.
She certainly didn’t want that!
“After the lesson you’ve taught me this time, I wouldn’t dare to stir up trouble in front of you again,”
Natalie said, looking at Cedric with an intense gaze.
He laughed.
His features were elegant, and his smile was soothing to behold. Yet, this face and this smile had
become the bane of her previous life.
Natalie also smiled, but her smile differed from Cedric’s.
“You are clever,” Cedric remarked.
“What did you do to Regal Horizons? Why hasn’t my uncle completely resolved it until now?” She asked
bluntly.
The smile on Cedric’s face was wiped off.
Before the end of today’s work, everything will be resolved. You don’t need to worry, hmm!”
Natake was speechless.
How shameless of him!
It was as if Cedric had taught her a lesson this time. He wasn’t the Cedric everyone saw.
There was so much more of him that no one knew!
She had been the closest person by his side over the years. If she didn’t know, everyone else would be
even more clueless.
“Eat your vegetables!”
Seeing her demeanor, Cedric felt anger rising again. His phone vibrated, and it was a call from Christina.
couldn’t avoid this person
How annoying!
