Chapter 29 Expert in Arguing
Bianca and Natalie didn’t inquire further. As they walked out of the police station, the air around Natalie
was cold.
Bianca hurried to catch up, grabbing her wrist. “Nat.”
“I’m fine,” she said, but a storm was raging inside.
Why did Cedric ball those people out? In the past, regardless of who tried to harm Natalie, he would never show them any leniency. However, this time, he had protected the very people who had sent her threatening letters, razor blades, and animal carcasses, as well as cursed her constantly on social media.
“What is Cedric’s intention?” Bianca wondered.
“Christina and Isabella probably bribed those people,” Natalie said, her voice trembling with anger.
Bianca’s temper flared instantly. “What is he thinking?”
What was he thinking? Natalie didn’t know.
During her absence over these three months, who knew what had happened? She thought that her
departure would have allowed the situation from her previous life to cool down, but new developments
had her…
Bianca was fuming. “I’ll make sure you win your divorce case. What the hell is wrong with that scumbag?!
Those people could have killed you, yet he bailed them out!”
Natalie stood in the sunlight. Her delicate face was now pale, and her lips moved slightly. However, she
didn’t know what to say.
What was ten years? In the end, this was how Cedric treated her!
Natalie wasn’t sure how she ended up back at Bianca’s place. Bianca had gone to work. Before parting, she offered to order food for her at lunch, but Natalie declined, insisting on cooking for herself.
Oink, oink.
There were faint sounds from the little pig at her feet. She lowered her gaze to see Ginger nudging her Slippers, its round body looking well–fed. It seemed that Zoe had taken excellent care of it while Natalie was abroad. When she left Scarlet Villa, she took nothing with her except this pig!
Bending down, she picked up the small creature and cuddled it in her arms. She patted its head.
“Are you hungry? You’ll be on a journey with me from now on.”
The little pig had no understanding of the unfamiliar environment. A pig was just a pig; it slept and ate,
and ate and slept.
Cedric had given her this pig during one of his business trips. He feared she’d be bored at home since he
didn’t want her to work.
But was she really bored?
No!
Whenever he wasn’t around, Rebecca always found various ways to torment her.
Bzz! Bzz!
Natalie’s phone v
vibrated, interrupting her thoughts. She checked it to see Cedric calling. Not wanting to answer, she hung up immediately. He called again a few times in quick succession, causing Natalie to
eventually lose her patience and answer it.
“What do you want?”
“Come down,” Cedric ordered.
Natalie was speechless. He was downstairs?! Calculating the time, they had only been apart for less than
two hours.
“Right now!”
She hadn’t wanted to see this man, but thinking about the results they received at the police station
today, she also wanted to confront him about it. Though, she had a pretty good idea of why he had done
- it. People’s hearts could be strangely perverse, after all. She didn’t want to believe what she had
concluded and needed a definite answer.
When she saw the frostiness on Cedric’s face, Natalie’s mood didn’t improve.
She stood next to the car door and said icily, “I have something to ask you.”
Natalie immediately replied, “I won’t return to Scarlet Villa.”
Natalie leaving home was not a good thing. In a big
Natalie didn’t bother to look at him.
