Chapter 372 Playing Tricks

“Bia

Natalie’s heart tightened at Bianca’s reply.

“Enough, stop talking. Just hold me quietly, alright?” Blanca said, cutting off Natalie’s words.

The grip around Natalie’s delicate waist tightened.

Natalie held Bianca tightly.

She knew Bianca was proud. Because of that, she wouldn’t tell Natalie everything happening between

her

and Malcolm now.

Ultimately, Natalie didn’t know how she left Orchid Pavilion. However, she called Malcolm and finally

met

him at Botanical Peak,

Under the sunlight, the man dressed casually and demonstrated elegance in every move. He looked

breathtaking.

Natalie couldn’t deny that since the first time she saw him, she felt that Heaven’s favoritism towards

him.

was simply unreasonable.

The man elegantly handed the cue to a passing attendant and strode toward Natalie.

There was an ambiguous smile on his lips as he said, “I thought you wouldn’t have time to meddle in

our

affairs now.”

Undoubtedly, Malcolm already knew that Natalie had come from Orchid Pavilion.

Natalie stared at him with pursed lips.

Coldness emanated from her eyes.

Taking a sip of the lemonade before her, Natalie found the taste unsatisfactory and put the cup down.

“Just tell me, what can I do for you to let her go?”

“Our engagement has already been broken. With your figure… what else can you offer me?” The

man’s

words carried a mocking tone.

Natalie disliked this kind of talk. Every time someone spoke, they had to include attacks on others‘

lives.. making it unpleasant. Natalie particularly disliked this aspect.

What do you want?”

“It seems she’s important to you.” The man’s tone became more complex.

Natalie pressed her lips tightly, not answering.

What did Bianca’s existence mean to her?

It was easy to answer that.

“When I had nothing, she gave me everything. How important do you think she is to me?”

That was right.

At that time, Cedric claimed to be Natalie’s reliance, but in Natalie’s heart, the support she received

from

Bianca exceeded Cedric’s.

Whenever she suffered a great blow in her heart, Bianca was the only one who could unconditionally

stay

by her side.

Bianca was willing to throw everything aside to comfort Natalie. Such friendship was beyond the

understanding of those who hadn’t experienced it.

In your eves!*

“That woman seems truly wonderful in your eyes!”

“She’s just a numbered existence to you. You wouldn’t lose anything by letting her go, Natalie retorted.

without hesitation.

Just thinking about the humiliation Malcolm had inflicted on Bianca…

Natalie ruthlessly shoved down the anger that threatened to burst out of her chest!

She almost could not resist picking up the lemonade before her and splashing it on his face to ruin his

perfect appearance!

But in the end… she held back.

Regardless of this man’s elegant appearance, she didn’t know how he would vent his anger on Bianca

if

she resorted to violence.

Thinking of the wound on Bianca’s head…

He was the combination of demon and angel! That was Natalie’s current evaluation of Malcolm.

“Yes, she’s just a numbered existence! But I hate her so much that it makes my teeth itch. Ms. Walker,

do

you have a way to help me vent this anger?”

“Bia Is not that kind of person. Faye lost the lawsuit. It must be because she…”

“Shut up!”

Natalie’s words were harshly interrupted by the man.

The eyes that were mocking just now were now filled with a chilling gaze as they stared at Natalie, that

crimson hue resembling the eyes of a wild beast!

Unfazed, Natalie locked eyes with his already enraged gaze. “She’s too good in your eyes. Her

goodness…

has blinded your judgment!”

“Natalie, I told you to stop!”

“Release Bianca.”

“Impossible!” The man’s tone became even more resolute.

In a deadlock, neither side was willing to yield!

Natalie’s stance was clear. She was willing to offer anything as long as he let Bianca go.

However, Malcolm’s attitude remained unchanged. No matter what Natalie presented before him, he

wouldn’t release that woman.

“Think about the troubles you have on your own. Cedric has suddenly targeted Caleb!”

*In just a week, he took away several critical projects from Premier Garden International! Natalie,

you’re

not an innocent person either. For Irwin’s sake, you’ve implicated the innocent, haven’t you?”

Natalie felt as if she suddenly forgot to breathe.

“What are you talking about?”

Cedric !

Cedric had yet to make an appearance this week. She thought that after the results came out, he had

acknowledged it and let go of her. She thought he hadn’t wanted anything to do with her anymore.

But who would have thought that he secretly made a move against Caleb?!

This damn man!

Natalie was about to explode with anger.

“We’re of the same kind,” Malcolm mockingly said as he looked at Natalie.

Natalie pressed her lips tightly, unexpectedly speechless at this moment.

At that time, she only considered that hiding the child’s existence wouldn’t make sense if the child was

Irwin’s. Besides, it wasn’t like they had any formal relationship in the past two years.

So, such reasons might not be convincing to Cedric.

However, she didn’t expect that she would implicate Caleb in her urgency!

Although that man had distanced himself from her, he… showed no signs of letting Caleb off?!

Natalie came down from Botanical Peak and was going to meet Cedric. To get from Botanical Peak to

Peach Garden, she would pass by Kayla’s school.

Outside the car window, she saw Cedric carrying Kayla into his car.

Natalie didn’t know what Kayla had said in Cedric’s ear, but it caused warmth and tenderness to bloom

in

the man’s eyes.

At that moment, she felt the scene to be an eyesore.

In Peach Garden, she felt that the layout had changed quite a bit as the car drove into the area. Not far

from the villa, she also saw some amusement facilities that children liked

She also felt a chilling breeze. Looking further ahead, she… saw a ski resort. In this weather,

constructing

an open–air ski resort must have required an enormous investment!

Cedric was really good to Kayla.

Inside the villa, Kayla diligently worked on her homework. She would occasionally glance at Natalie.

Natalie picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip.

Cedric sat across from her. His gaze was icy and disturbing.

Setting down the coffee cup, Natalie’s tone was restrained yet firm as she said, “Return them!”

At her words, Cedric’s already grim expression became even darker. However, he calmed down after

he

thought of something

He looked at the butler and made an effort to soften his tone. “Take Kayla upstairs to do her homework.

“Yes, Your Excellency.”

The butler had already sensed an eerie atmosphere and felt the tension in the air. He had no idea wher

these two would start arguing again.

Kayla was an extremely sensitive child. Seeing Natalie and Cedric like this, her eyes were filled with

fear

and dread.
