Chapter 346 When Did It Start

Irwin mentioned that Malcolm wanted to establish a connection with the Jarvis family to gain complete

control over the Entes family.

Yet now, one of his own people was claiming Natalie would be his future wife?!

To be blunt, these people were indeed two sides of the same coin to Natalie!

“Sis, are you leaving now?”

Despite Natalie’s ever–changing expression, Roland’s tone remained serious and firm.

Natalie asked, “Can I talk to Irwin?”

“Of course you can!” Roland took out his phone, dialed Irwin’s number, and handed it to Natalie.

The phone screen flashed with Irwin’s name as she waited for the call to connect. Soon, a warm voice

came through.

“Nat.”

“Irv, I don’t know what I should say about you now.”

Irwin had lured Stephen to Wexford, making the already chaotic situation even messier. He had also

done

this in an attempt to control Cedric.

And now, Irwin even wanted her to go to Wexford.

Why?

Obviously, it was to prevent her alliance with Malcolm and thereby limit Malcolm’s control over Simeria.

Irwin seemed to be grabbing onto all the advantages he could!

‘Be good and come to Wexford first, okay? I’ll be waiting for you here,” Irwin said from the other end of

the line, his tone still gentle even at this juncture.

Natalie remained silent.

Unavoidably, she had to admit that even when letting go of all pretenses, Irwin managed to do it so.

seamlessly.

In this world, Inwin was perhaps the only person who could pull it off!

He wanted to claim all the benefits for himself.

But would Natalie give in to him? Hah!

Natalie could already guess what Stephen’s stance against these people was.

Since everyone had nothing to hide, why not just stop hiding everything?

“Although Malcolm is using me, he has given me quite a few benefits in this situation.”

“What benefits can he give you?” Irwin asked indifferently.

“The Entes family controls half of Simeria, right? What remarkable benefits do you think he can offer

me

Natalie shot back in the same indifferent tone.

As soon as she finished speaking, the air became silent in an instant. Roland was sitting opposite

Natalie,

and the look in his eyes intensified as he stared at her.

Before Irwin could speak, Natalie continued, “When did it start?”

“What?”

“It started from the time you approached me in Verde City, right?”

Irwin remained silent.

That was right!

Natalie analyzed that Irwin’s manipulation of her started in Verde City. Although she didn’t know the

exact grievances between Irwin and Cedric, she knew they both had been in Wexford.

It also didn’t take a genius to figure out that Irwin and Cedric’s relationship wasn’t any better than

Stephen

and Malcolm in Simeria.

Before the man on the phone could respond, Natalie’s tone grew colder and more serious, “Irv, did you

think you could manipulate me further than this?”

Without a doubt, Irwin was trying to influence her into going to Wexford. That was why he had sent

Roland to her in an attempt to make her obey forcefully.

Her uncle and Cedric were both in Wexford, but Irwin was the one who first wanted to drag her into the

mess there.

However, nothing was surprising about his current actions if he had approached her initially with a

premeditated scheme..

Inwin may look like a respectable gentleman on the surface, but he was downright despicable at his

core!

After ending the call with Irwin, Natalie looked at Roland across the table. Her eyes were deep and icy.

Although there was no hysteria in the conversation just now, it made it clear that none of them were

keeping up the act anymore.

“Roland.”

“Yes, sis!”

“I haven’t married Irwin, so there’s no need for you to bind me to him like this.”

“Then who would you like to be bound to? Lord Malcolm?”

Natalie’s expression turned colder, Sitting on the sofa, she looked petite but exuded an air of chilliness.

“You’ve seen it too. Now that we’ve all stopped pretending, you won’t get away without consequences

for

pushing my limits!” Natalie said harshly.

Roland remained silent.

Looking at the petite woman before him, it was hard to imagine that she had once been an oppressed

daughter–in–law in the Johnson family.

“If Malcolm catches Bianca, I’ll tear you to pieces with my bare hands!”

Roland froze at her words. He had used Bianca to blackmail Natalie emotionally, but now he had to go

to great lengths to protect Bianca’s whereabouts!

At this point, it didn’t matter in what state Bianca was brought back. If she was caught, Natalie would

undoubtedly hold him responsible.

Without waiting for Roland to speak, Natalie continued, “Irwin has gone to Wexford. In the years he has

been in Simeria, Maple Peak has been the most important thing for him, right?”

“What are you getting at, Sis?”

Although Natalie was displeased with how Roland addressed her, she didn’t want to dwell on it now.

Casually stroking her beautifully manicured nails, her tone was nonchalant as she replied, “Maple Peak

has been safeguarding half of the documents for Simeria, and the other half is in the hands of the

Entes

family. The Entes family controls half of Simeria, right? In their position, don’t you think they’ve been

trying

to get the other half of the documents from Irwin over the years?”

After Natalie finished speaking, Roland’s expression changed instantly.

Without waiting for him to speak, Natalie continued. “If I’m not mistaken, the Entes family and Maple

Peak

Moreover, he has been trying to obtain the other half from the Entes family. Unfortunately…”

At this point, Natalie paused and looked at Roland, whose expression had clearly darkened. If she

wasn’t mistaken, the people around Irwin had been trying to find out the whereabouts of that half of the

documents for years.

“Unfortunately, the Entes family is extensive. Irwin has never been able to confirm the whereabouts of

that half of the documents. However…”

Natalie trailed off as her eyes revealed a deeper sense of amusement.

Looking at Roland’s increasingly gloomy expression, she said, “There’s a man named Frederick Quinn

by

Irwin’s side, right?”

Roland stood up abruptly the moment Natalie mentioned Frederick, and he glared at her with a

dangerous and icy gaze.

To everyone in Simeria, Natalie had been forcibly placed in the position of deputy CEO by Regal

Horizons

International.

To grasp the power in her hands, she had put in a considerable amount of effort. Stephen had also

invested a lot of effort into her development.

Everyone thought she was just a person working hard for the power that had been placed before her…

However, this petite woman was much more complex than they thought.

“How do you know?”

Frederick Quinn!

He had never appeared by Irwin’s side. Because of that half of the documents, they had never had an

open contact. Frederick’s presence was supposed to be a secret, and considerable effort had been put

Into hiding his existence.

Natalie was just the deputy CEO of Regal Horizons International. However, she knew how Maple Peak

held half of the country’s documents.

She also… knew about Frederick

Even Stephen didn’t know about Frederick’s existence, so… how did Natalie find out?!
