Chapter 321 The Sixth Lord Personally Arrives
At the airport, Yves, Natalie, and Leon left through a special channel. However, just as they reached the exit, Lucas appeared.
He stared at Natalie intensely and called out, “Madam!”
The form of address made Natalie’s heart skip a beat. She moved her lips as if to object, but ultimately, she didn’t correct Lucas’s address as she usually did.
Instead, she asked, “Lucas, what are you doing?”
Lucas replied, “I’m not stopping you from leaving, but Mr. Johnson said…
He deliberately ignored Yves and continued, “You can’t leave with Mr. Frazier’s men.”
As he finished speaking, the atmosphere around Yves instantly felt more dangerous.
Natalie frowned and looked at Yves. Her mind kept weaving through thoughts of Irwin, Cedric, and Stephen.
Whom did she trust the most?
Stephen, of course!
And who was the person Stephen trusted the most? Irwin… or Cedric?
The two names kept changing in her mind!
Stephen had asked Cedric to stay by her side… What had happened between Stephen and
Irwin?!
Or was there something she didn’t know?
Undoubtedly, Natalie sensed something was amiss in the past two years. However, those things may not have seemed significant to her then.
Hence, she hadn’t actively investigated.
But now…
“Natalie, I see you as my future sister–in–law because I’m close to Irwin. I must ensure your safety. We have to go,” Yves said respectfully. He had calmed himself before turning to Natalie.
Future sister-in–law?!
“Yves!” Natalie exclaimed.
“Yes?”
“You don’t have to follow me. I’ll leave with Leon.”
Whatever the situation was, she could trust Stephen’s people.
“Do you… not trust Irwin?” Yves inquired.
“Simeria is in turmoil lately. I think he needs you more by his side.”
Natalie’s words were tactful but carried an underlying firmness.
At this moment, Lucas breathed a sigh of relief.
“Leon.”
“Yes, Miss?”
“Has everything been arranged?”
Before Leon could speak, Lucas stepped forward and said, “Madam, Mr. Johnson has made all the arrangements for you.”
At this moment, the tension between Lucas and Yves was noticeable as they glared at each
other.
Neither of them were giving in to the other.
Especially Lucas… Natalie had never seen him so determined before!
She closed her eyes and said, “No need for all this. I have better arrangements on my side. You all can go back.”
Stephen had sensed something off about Irwin, but she wasn’t sure if she could trust Cedric either. She had once trusted him so much, only to pay a terrible price in the end.
So, Natalie wouldn’t believe anyone else at this
nt except st
“Leon!”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Let’s go.”
With that, Natalie took a step forward.
But after just two steps, Yves coldly said, “Natalie, Irwin said I must take you to where you should go.”
Natalie looked at Yves. At this moment, all eyes were on Yves.
There was a sharp glint in Natalie’s eyes. The air around her dropped several degrees as she asked, “And where does Irwin think I should go?”
Where she should go? Hah!
Natalie detested anyone attempting to take control on her behalf throughout her life.
Stephen and Heather were family, so they were different!
Since she left Cedric, she hadn’t allowed anyone to dictate her choices.
“Since you insist on an explanation… Please excuse my rudeness!”
Yves’s latter part of his sentence was tinged with a dangerous undertone.
In an instant, it seemed as if something had become clear in Natalie’s mind.
Leon and Lucas shifted into defensive stances and were on high alert as they looked at Yves. Lucas was even more tense as he instinctively positioned himself before Natalie, creating a barrier between her and Yves.
Even if Natalie were a fool, she knew she must not go with Yves now.
Perhaps… Irwin was also waiting for this moment?!
What the hell was going on?!
With a snap of Yves‘ fingers, people rushed into the scene.
Natalie turned her sharp glare on Yves. “Is this what Irwin intends to do?!”
“He’s doing this for your sake!”
“Hah!”
For her sake?!
Was he forcefully taking her away from Simeria now? She always thought Irwin was inscrutable, but this situation was downright absurd!
The tension in the air was obvious.
Lucas glanced sideways at Leon and said, “Mr. Lutz, I leave Madam in your hands.”
“Rest assured.”
As soon as he said that, Leon grabbed Natalie’s wrist. He started to turn around to leave, but Yves gave a command, and they found themselves surrounded.
Clearly, Irwin’s stance was firm.
Natalie had to leave with his people, whether she wanted to or not. It seemed less like a threat from the formidable sixth lord and more like an opportunity Irwin had been waiting for!
What was Irwin’s objective?!
Was Irwin throwing off all pretenses now and showing his true nature?
What a profound man. He unexpectedly…!
Just as Yves thought everything would go his way, the meticulously arranged situation was overturned!
“Hey! Lord Malcolm wants her! How dare you interfere in our master’s plans?!”
