Chapter 70 Cedric Gets Slapped
Cedric was taken aback by the sudden slap and had been utterly defenseless against it.
He clearly didn’t expect Natalie to slap him over Irwin, and the already foul mood he was in became even
worse.
“What’s this? Did I ruin your little tryst? Come on, tell me, where were you planning to go in his car? A
romantic getaway, a mountain resort, or a hotel?” His tone was filled with anger and growing more
provocative by the moment.
He couldn’t believe she had the audacity to slap him for another
How could she?!
man.
The anger on his face was obvious, and there was no trace of the indifferent expression he usually had.
Natalie stood her ground, staring up at him. Despite the significant height difference, she showed no
signs of backing down.
“Cedric, I warned you before! Behave yourself! If you interfere in my affairs again, I won’t forgive you!”
Affairs? She actually dared to say it!

His mind was only filled with how Natalie had made a deal with Irwin. As a man, he clearly knew what kind of deal it was…!
How could the lower herself to that level?!
Natalie rolled her eyes and turned away, not wanting to argue with a lunatic.
As she walked away from him, she added, “I’m going to change. Remember to come pick me up, or I
won’t go!”

Did she just agree to go back to the Johnson Manor with him? He had thought that convincing her to accompany him would require a lot of effort, considering their current hostile relationship.
But now, was she actually agreeing?
Why did she agree? Was she trying to pacify him?
Cedric’s mind grew even more chaotic as he pondered the reasons behind her decision.
Was it because of what happened between her and Irwin…?
The more Cedric tried to understand, the more confused he got.
During an afternoon meeting, Yuvan, like everyone else, felt tense. He could sense that Cedric might explode at any moment.
Whenever things didn’t go well with Natalie, Cedric would vent his

Before this, it wasn’t in high demand.
However, Irwin’s design had considered the land beside it. So, many people were competing for it now.
