Chapter 385 Irreconcilable Differences
“Why don’t you come and have a drink tonight with me? Even though there’s no wedding, I still hope
you can enjoy the happiness of my marriage,” Bianca said calmly over the phone.
However, Natalie sensed bitterness beneath this calmness. She had witnessed the entanglement
between Bianca and Malcolm firsthand and had experienced Malcolm’s dreadful
side.
Yet now, out of the blue, Blanca had married Zane?!
In this short span of time, what had transpired?
Marriage had always been sacred in Bianca’s eyes, influenced by her past profession.
Natalie knew that Bianca and Zane weren’t close. So, what had Malcolm done to push Bianca, who
had always regarded marriage highly, into marrying the seventh lord?
“Where are you staying now?”
“I’m your neighbor. I’m staying behind Hillside Villa.”
“Alright, I got it.”
The area around Hillside Estate had four directions. Natalie occupied the east side and was unaware of
who resided in the remaining three.
Unexpectedly, the seventh lord was at her back.
Zane!
After ending the call, Natalie couldn’t come to her senses for a long time. The seventh lord was
a mysterious figure. Yet, he had been working in the inner parts of Regal Horizons International all this
while.
In that case… What was his purpose for staying at Natalie’s side?
When Natalie arrived at Lotus Villa, she still hadn’t returned to her senses.
Clyde was out, leaving only Stephen in the villa.
Stephen frowned when he saw Natalie coming in. “Did you go to see him again?”
“Dad”
“Did you two argue again?” Stephen continued to ask.
Natalie was silent.
She didn’t say a word.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince Kayla came to Cedric’s side, Stephen had not met up with Cedric again.
Natalie didn’t want her family to worry about these matters. She merely said, “I’ll handle it.”
Having said that, she escaped and went upstairs Stephen watched Natalie’s retreating figure and
sighed, unsure of what to say.
The entanglement between her and Cedric had been going on for so many years.
And Cedric… everything he did now seemed evil. To put it bluntly, there were no limits to what he
would do. Everything he did now was to force Natalie to return to his side.
However, how would he achieve that?
Stephen frowned when he recalled Cedric’s words. Regardless of what Isabella had let go of in the final
moments, or what sacrifices she made for Natalie, the harm she had done to Natalie was something
Natalie could never forget in her lifetime.
As a result, Natalie couldn’t let go of everything.
Cedric, on the other hand, not only wanted Natalie by his side but also wanted her to accept that child.
However, he was well aware that what Isabella had sacrificed for Natalie was nowhere near enough to
make amends for the harm done to her.
It was an incredibly difficult task.
Now, he seemed to have run out of options regarding Natalie.
After returning to her room, Natalie looked through a document. She picked up the phone and called
Caleb.
He answered promptly, “Hello.”
“Where are you?”
“You…”
“Are you still at Engel International Hotel?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll come see you right away.”
Without waiting for Caleb’s response, Natalie hung up the phone. She changed into a different outfit
before leaving.
As she reached the main gate, Clyde returned from outside. He stepped down from the
Maybach, radiating an air of elegance. Yet, within that sophistication, there was an undeniable.
sense of hurt.
“Are you going out?” Clyde asked.
“Yes, just a quick trip,” Natalie replied.
“What’s it about?”
“I have to meet a friend. Dad is at home. You can go in.”
Natalie didn’t answer Clyde’s question directly. Having said that, she turned to leave. However, after
taking just a few steps, Clyde’s voice reached her ears.
“If you want to continue life like this with your daughter, stop getting involved with Cedric.”
Natalie was silent.
Stop getting involved with Cedric?
She never wanted to get involved with him!
Yet, it seemed like he was an ever–present specter, always disturbing her world.
“If he finds out about the child, you’re well aware of what he’s capable of.”
Indeed, Natalie was well aware.
Once Cedric learned about Luna’s existence, he would undoubtedly do unbearable things to
Natalie.
“I understand,” Natalie said in a grave tone.
However, just as she took a few steps forward, Clyde spoke again.
“Also, be wary of Abigail. I hope you understand.
Natalie was silent.
Abigail Schneider!
What kind of existence was that woman?
It was similar to Jocelyn in Rebecca’s eyes back then.
So, it would be better if Natalie didn’t get involved with her, the situation in Wexford, or the person
behind.Cedric!
Otherwise, she would repeat the mistakes she made in the Johnson family.
“I understand. You can rest assured.”
Natalie didn’t want to discuss Cedric or anyone else. Right now, she only knew one thing–she had to
quickly resolve the issue with Caleb.
As for Clyde, Stephen was there. So, it wouldn’t be a major problem.
But Caleb was innocent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis matter needed to be resolved as soon as possible!
At the presidential suite in Engel International, Natalie and Caleb sat opposite each other. Natalie
handed the documents she brought to Caleb.
“These documents are related to Mr. Shaw’s company in Wexford,” she said.
Caleb frowned.
“What’s this?”
“There was a discussion with Regal Horizons about supplying them raw materials before, but
ultimately, we didn’t take the deal because Simeria’s resources may not meet his
requirements. However, I remember Verde City is completely suitable.”
Every word Natalie had a purpose. Everything detailed in the document was a record of their previous
discussion. Giving this to Caleb would make his work much easier.
“Natalie,” Caleb said hoarsely.
The next moment, Natalie handed another document to Caleb. “If you find something you like, consider
it the initiation of this project.”
“You…”
“I’ll assist you as your shareholder and ensure the success of your collaboration with Mr. Shaw.
Her tone was resolute.
She knew that Cedric’s recent erratic behavior had caused significant losses for Caleb. If Caleb
managed to secure a collaboration with Cody Shaw, initiating this project would compensate Caleb
threefold.
“You don’t have to do this,” Caleb said seriously
“I apologize for Cedric’s actions,” Natalie said, ignoring his words. Her tone became heavy when she
mentioned Cedric.
Clearly, these recent events with Cedric had given her quite a headache.
Wheri Caleb heard Cedric’s name, his expression instinctively darkened. Then he said, “It might not be
easy for you to escape him.
Natalie had also realized the difficulty of this matter.
She took a deep breath and said, “Things between us ended a long time ago.”
Though she said that…!
Everyone around Natalie knew that Cedric’s recent and crazy actions… made it clear that he wasn’t
willing to let her go.
