In the end, Natalie went out.
She sat beside Cedric in the car, leisurely filing her nails as if transported back to those years when she had ample time to waste by his side.
"Did you send information to the seventh lord?" Cedric finally spoke, his voice restrained.
Information?
What information did he mean?
Obviously, it was about the half of the documents he held.
Previously, Natalie had given Malcolm information about Frederick.
Now?
She had directly sold him out to Zane?!
Cedric had to admit that Natalie was undeniably ruthless to him and Irwin!
Thinking about both incidents, Cedric's gaze upon Natalie intensified.
"Yes," Natalie replied calmly, pausing her actions to look Cedric directly in the eyes.
A gleaming smirk appeared on her lips, causing Cedric's expression to darken.
"You dare say it so casually?"
"Of course," she affirmed without hesitation.
As she observed his increasingly stormy demeanor, she continued, "Didn't I say it before?"
"..."
"I've always been forthright. If I did something, I'll admit to it. If I didn't, then I didn't. Haven't our ten years together taught you about my character?"
Cedric remained silent. His previous accusations now felt like they were suffocating him.
What the hell was she doing?
Was she retaliating with such boldness? Or was she also responding to his past misunderstandings of her in a similarly assertive manner?
Indeed, Natalie was using this assertiveness to convey a message to Cedric.
Time and again, across lifetimes, whenever the topic of Isabella arose, she had reassured him of her innocence.
Yet, he had never believed her.
Seeing the unpredictable glint in Cedric's eyes, Natalie's smile widened. "What, were you expecting me to deny it? Or would you have believed me if I denied it?"
