Natalie's lips curled into a smile.
But obviously... from the smile on her face, Irwin could tell things were far from being as simple as she claimed.
Dissolve the engagement with her?
Ever since the Jarvis family announced her identity, so many people from Simeria had stepped over the threshold of the Jarvis family.
It was clear that if Irwin were to announce this news, what awaited them was…!
"It hurts!"
Irwin suddenly pinched her cheek, looking exasperated like he was dealing with a child. Tears welled up in Natalie's eyes from the pain.
"So, you know that it hurts, huh?" Irwin said.
"Of course I do!" Natalie shot back.
She glared at Irwin resentfully.
The tense atmosphere that was present moments ago eased instantly with Irwin's action.
However, this relief was short-lived.
Irwin's expression turned serious. "Nat, I know you hate him and me, but...!"
At this point, Irwin paused. He had to admit that Natalie genuinely despised Cedric. From the moment she arrived in Wexford, she had already prepared a grand "gift" for him.
Natalie looked at Irwin, her mischievous gaze disappearing in an instant.
In its place, she radiated coldness and severity!
Irwin took a moment to study at her.
"Wexford isn't as simple as you think. When you first arrived, you knew nothing and couldn't see clearly!" he remarked.
"Like those years I was beside Cedric?" Natalie sneered sarcastically.
Back then, wasn't it the same? She was oblivious and clueless about everything.
For the first time, Irwin fell silent when it came to Cedric and their decade-long relationship.
Whether Natalie had been happy or not by Cedric's side, Cedric had never dragged her into the mess in Wexford. This act of keeping her out was the greatest protection for her. To say Cedric had no feelings for her would be a lie.
It was clear that Natalie held a significant place in his heart.
Yet, Irwin had pulled her into this quagmire.
And now, Natalie wasn't the only one who had changed…
Irwin had also changed so much!
"Just spit it out. What is it?" Irwin demanded.
Dylan replied, "Casey has found out."
At Dylan's words, Irwin's face stiffened.
Without a doubt, Clyde's people were indeed resourceful! Over the years, it had always been the same!
Whenever someone from Clyde's circle intervened, the truth, sooner or later, would be unearthed.
