Chapter 316 She Doesn’t Need Me Anymore
This time, Natalie had made a significant gamble for Bianca’s sake.
Natalie’s decision caused a sensation throughout Simeria. In the circle, there were widespread rumors thatthe deputy CEO of Regal Horizons International was a spirited woman. However, she had provoked the Entes family’s sixth son!
Later discussions mostly revolved around her being reckless and daring because she was young.
At the breakfast table, Natalie and Cedric exchanged silent glances after what had happened last night.
Cedric’s expression was somewhat grim.
Natalie’s phone vibrated, and she glanced to see Wendy calling. She answered.
“Wendy.”
“Ms. Walker, Lord Malcolm is already in the office.”
Natalie and Cedric were silent.
Instantly, the atmosphere around the man turned cold. He put down the cup in his hand and looked at Natalie.
However, there was relief in Natalie’s eyes, like a burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Did this woman think that Malcolm’s return meant she could see Bianca?
That was too naive!
When Malcolm met someone in person, it was likely the start of a nightmare for them…. Bianca was a clear example of it!
After hanging up Wendy’s call, Natalie stood up.
“Lydia, prepare the car.”
“Yes, Miss.”
“How are you planning to handle him?”
Cedric stood up, looking at Natalie. She had always been impulsive regarding Bianca, and Cedric hoped she could be calmer at this moment.
“What do you think I should do?” She sarcastically countered.

The atmosphere between the two became tense, especially now. Even though they were discussing Malcolm, her tone had a hint of aggression.
“I know you’re worried about Bianca, but her situation isn’t as bad as you think,” Cedric said.
“Hah!”
“When you showed me that photo, you said Bianca needed five stitches. Now, you’re telling me the situation isn’t that bad?”
“Nat!”
“Cedric, which of the things you’ve said is true, and which is false?”
Initially, she was fine with letting these things go. But since Cedric brought it up, Natalie naturally accepted the challenge and fought back.
Cedric exuded a chilling air. Without waiting for his response, Natalie walked past him.
The glint in her eyes was colder than ever.
Cedric grabbed her.
“Let go!”
Her tone was icy. However, Cedric didn’t let go. On the contrary, his grip tightened.
Cedric said, “Malcolm is exactly like the rumors!
Those rumors…!
Cedric was telling her that Malcolm was as ruthless as the rumors suggested and that such people were best avoided.
Once provoked, it would undoubtedly lead to big trouble,
And now, Natalie had undoubtedly provoked such trouble.
Cedric’s reminder was also a hope that she could be a little calmer and not make things worse.
“I know.”
“Your uncle is on his way back.”
“I know.”
‘Don’t confront him head–on!”
Now that Malcolm had come knocking, it meant Stephen wouldn’t be back in time to handle it personally

So, Cedric also hoped that Natalie could be a bit calmer when facing this person.
“I never thought of confronting him head–on!” Natalie said.
“Then you…”
What was she saying at this juncture? She was the only one who was bold enough to halt a collaboration with Malcolm!
Natalie shook off Cedric’s hand and headed outside. Judging by her demeanor, she didn’t seem like someone who wouldn’t confront Malcolm.
Cedric felt uneasy and followed her.
On the way to the office, Natalie took out her laptop and skillfully dealt with some related documents.
She reminded Cedric of himself. He didn’t want to waste time back then and also dealt with work during the car ride.
But Natalie was different!
Cedric took her laptop. “Your eyes are not good. You shouldn’t read documents in the car.”
Natalie snatched the laptop back. “Mind your own business!”
In other words, having him around was already her limit, and she hoped he wouldn’t interfere too much.
Cedric’s face darkened.
The two exuded an unpleasant aura, and the atmosphere became icy.
Upon arriving at the company, Cedric grabbed Natalie’s wrist when they exited the car.
“Remember, don’t be forceful with him.”
“Cedric.”
“Hmm?”
“I’ve been managing Regal Horizons for two years now. Do you think I’m the same housewife you kept by your side two years ago?”
Cedric was silent.
With that comment, Natalie shook off his hand and walked away.
Cedric stood still, unable to regain his senses for a long time.
How could she be so reckless?!
+25 BONUS
Natalie had made such a move just because she couldn’t find Malcolm, so she pressured him to
come back.
She wasn’t the same housewife he kept by his side, so… she didn’t need his protection.
anymore?
Everything he had been confident in shattered at Natalie’s words.
At this moment, Cedric remembered that Natalie had been blind in his past life when she had
asked for a divorce.
He had been very confident that Natalie needed him.
Without him, she couldn’t even take care of herself.
However, just now…
She said she had been managing Regal Horizons International for two years.
