Chapter 345 Letting Go of All Pretenses

Natalie’s mind went blank, and she didn’t return to her senses for a long time

She didn’t even know when Malcolm had left.

In her mind, there were lingering images of her beginnings with Cedric, the experiences they shared,

and

the horrifying outcomes.

Undoubtedly, her modest height meant she wasn’t the most beautiful girl in school. At most, she was

delicate and petite.

However, there were plenty of other attractive girls..

So, why was Cedric singularly fixated on her?

Their seven–year–long relationship had been filled with tender care, but it suddenly turned into a

marriage

that felt like she had stepped into hell.

Her world had been turned upside down after that. There were so many differences in life before and

after their marriage. There was also the cruel aftermath and…

That massive fire…!

And then the fire at the detention center…!

Everything, including the reunion with Cedric in Simeria, had always been considered an unforgettable

past and an inescapable nightmare.

However, Malcolm’s words added doubt to the entire journey, regardless of whether she looked at her

past or current life.

Wexford was a peculiar place.

What roles did Cedric, Irwin, and Stephen play there? Was there any grudge between Cedric and

Stephen?

If so, did Malcolm’s words mean…?

At this moment, a chill ran up Natalie’s spine. The feeling came so quickly and suddenly, and it terrified

herl

Just then, the vibration of her phone snapped Natalie back to reality.

She answered hastily. “Hello?”

It’s me.

it’s me.

Leon’s voice came from the other end, and Natalie instantly regained her composure.

“What’s going on?”

“We’re facing some trouble here. It seems that Lord Malcolm never planned on letting Ms. Sanders go,”

Leon explained.

Although she already knew, Natalie couldn’t contain her anger!

“What happened?”

Leon briefed Natalie on the situation. Essentially, Malcolm’s people had been tailing Leon and Bianca

since they left Simeria.

After finally shaking them off, Bianca had been prepared to get an abortion. However, to their surprise,

Malcolm’s people showed up again!

Based on Leon’s intuition, he knew that Malcolm’s people were quite formidable.

Natalie’s head throbbed intensely. “What about the child? Has it been dealt with?”

Natalie was sure that Bianca didn’t want the child!

With what Malcolm had done to Bianca, a proud woman like her wouldn’t give birth to his child willingly.

Natalie recalled how angry Malcolm had been on the phone just now, and all she could think was that

Bianca needed to get away from the man!

For that to happen, Bianca absolutely couldn’t give birth to his child!

“There wasn’t enough time,” Leon replied.

Natalie’s heart tightened once again at his answer. After quickly cursing Malcolm in her mind, she

spoke

with a tense tone to Leon, “Protect her well.”

“Yes, ma’am.

Blanca..!

Returning to Simeria was not an option for her at the moment. Malcolm would undoubtedly use Blanca

to

threaten Natalie if he caught Bianca.

Furthermore, Bianca would undergo another round of torment if she fell into Malcolm’s hands again!

for she hung up the phone, Natalie took a deep breath and added solemnly, “Leon, ensure her safety:

Malcolm’s people bring her back, and…

And what?

Natalie paused for a moment before her tone grew heavier, “I know how capable you are. If his people

could find you, it means they’re formidable.”

“I understand *

With Natalie’s affirmation and the warning, Leon became even more cautious.

Natalie emphasized, “Make sure he doesn’t get his hands on her!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

After she ended the call, Natalie’s world seemed to quiet down. However, her mind continued to churn.

Simeria was in chaos–it couldn’t get any more chaotic than this.

Her world also couldn’t get any more chaotic!

Natalie was someone content with her current situation, but she would never allow anyone to trample

on

her.

Now aware that Irwin had once again manipulated her last night, she didn’t even bother maintaining a

superficial friendliness.

“What do you want?”

“Mr. Frazier has asked for you to go to Wexford.”

Natalie raised an eyebrow at Roland, and a sharp glint appeared in her eyes.

These people were so shameless!

“Hah. Why should I?” Natalie’s tone was upset.

Irwin…!

Roland looked at her with eyes that lacked the previous carefreeness. There was a serious glint in his

eyes.

There was mockery in Natalie’s eyes when she looked at him.

you stay here, you’ll only be pressured into marrying Lord Malcolm. You won’t be able to resist himl

Natalie remained silent.

The Jarvis family shouldn’t get involved with the Entes family!”

Roland was right!

The Jarvis family shouldn’t…!

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have resisted for so many years.

Natalie took a deep breath and said, “If that’s the only reason, then there’s no need to bother. I can

handle

these matters on my own.”

Natalie’s rejection was cold and indifferent, clearly reflecting a sense of estrangement towards Irwin in

her words.

Many things were unclear to her now!

She didn’t care if it was Cedric or Irwin. She wanted to stay away from all of it. If possible, she didn’t

want

to get

get too deeply involved with any of the significant forces in Simeria,

“So, you won’t go to Wexford?” Roland’s gaze became more intense.

“That’s right,” Natalie replied.

“Ms. Sanders must be very frustrated with her relationship with Lord Malcolm now,” Roland remarked.

Natalie remained silent, glaring at Roland with icy eyes.

“Are you threatening me?” Natalie questioned,

Roland met Natalie’s cold gaze with a calmness in his eyes and said, “Ms. Sanders and Leon are

currently

in an advantageous position.”

Bang!

Natalie was utterly infuriated by Roland’s words and slammed her fist on the table. At this moment, her

eyes almost seemed like they could burn a hole in Roland’s head.

I

want to? N-

So, you’re saying I have to go, even if I don’t sneered.

Mr. Frazier is doing this for your own good.”

Nah Natalie laughed coldly What a good excuse!

For her own good?

At this point, was Irwin letting go of all pretenses? It seemed like he wash

In fact, things between Natalie and Irwin had become more superficial since she saw the photo in

Stephen’s study.

Now…

“Roland!”

“Yes, Sis?”

Natalie stiffened. As she looked at Roland, her demeanor became colder, and there was a hint of

intense

sarcasm in her eyes.

“Sis?”

“Yes. You’re Irwin’s future wife, making you my sister–in–law since we’re as close as brothers.”

“Hah…” Natalie sneered,

What a nice title–sister–in–law.

She tapped her fair and slender fingers rhythmically on the armrest of the sofa. “What purpose does my

going to Wexford serve now?”

Wexford!

What a chaotic situation it was now. Natalie hadn’t directly entered the fray, but even she could feel the

urgency of the situation there.

Yet, at this time, Irwin insisted that she go. He even resorted to threatening her with Bianca’s

information!

Before, it was Cedric…

Now, it was Irwin!
