Chapter 423 Misunderstandings Rekindled

At this moment, to Cedric, Natalie’s resolute stance was undoubtedly because of Kayla.

Taking a deep breath, he fiercely drew on his cigarette before stating to Natalie, “I’ll send her away as

soon as possible.”

What was once a definitive statement had now become a vague promise.

This indicated just how significant a place Kayla held in Cedric’s heart due to his relationship with

Isabella.

The crux of the matter wasn’t about sending Kayla away. It was evident that Cedric genuinely couldn’t

bear the thought of parting with the child.

Natalie fell silent.

For them, this was a pointless topic.

As Cedric rose to leave, he issued a warning in his tone, “Don’t see Irwin again.”

Bang!

Before Natalie could even react with a word, Cedric had already left.

She remained seated, placing the pig on the chaise longue with a wry smile.

Don’t see Irwin?

He was seriously…

First, Caleb, and now Irwin.

That night, Natalie tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She was jolted awake by a commotion outside-

hurried footsteps followed by the roar of an engine.

The next morning, when she descended the stairs to the dining room, it was eerily quiet without Cedric

and Kayla.

Approaching the breakfast table, she noticed a meager spread that was far simpler than when Cedric

was

around. Just some plain soup and a few side dishes, looking hastily put together.

are they? Natalie asked coldly, addressing the butler standing nearby.

to the hospital, and the nanny went along

A sharp glint flashed in Natalie’s eyes as she abruptly rose, causing the chair to screech uncomfortably

against the floor.

Seeing her stand up, the butler hurriedly inquired, “Are you heading to the hospital?”

Though phrased as a question, the tone suggested Natalie ought to be at the hospital.

With a mocking smirk, Natalie replied, “Do I need to tell you where I’m going?”

The butler instantly paled at her words.

As Natalie strode out, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of being treated dismissively just because

Cedric

and Kayla were absent.

It wasn’t that she cared about these things, but these kinds of people made her uncomfortable.

Over the years with Cedric, she had tolerated such disrespect far too often.

After her time with the Johnson family…!

She wouldn’t let just anyone dictate her actions or endure such treatment.

Pausing at the door, she threw a final question over her shoulder, “Has he mentioned when he’ll be

back?”

The butler said, “Miss has been running a fever for two consecutive nights, and her condition is critical.”

The implication was that time was of the essence.

A chill deepened in Natalie’s eyes.

She spun around and headed straight upstairs. From below, the butler asked, “Are you still having

breakfast?”

“Feed it to the dogs! Natalie snapped back, making her way to her room.

Memories of Irwin and Cednc’s faces intertwined in her mind. Soon enough, Bianca’s name flashed on

“What do you mean?”

“Those documents. They’re crucial for anyone related to the Entes family, right?”

The people in Wexford, Irwin, Cedric, and some members of the Entes family were all searching for it.

So, it was obvious the documents held significant importance.

“Nat, you…” Bianca started but trailed off.

“As long as Malcolm is taken down, Zane will release you, right? He’ll set you

“Yes.”

free?”

“Good, I got it.”

“What are you planning?”

What was she planning?

To rid herself of these treacherous men! It didn’t matter which of them had betrayed her or used her.

All of them should just go to hell!

She resented Cedric and Irwin deeply.

One used her, while the other betrayed her, wanting her to accept another woman’s child.

So what if Irwin didn’t see her the same now?

He had started everything by manipulating her!

His betrayal was also real!

Since her arrival at Peach Garden, Natalie hadn’t ventured into Cedric’s study. It wasn’t because she

cared about him, but because she didn’t want to go along with Irwin’s schemes obediently.

But circumstances had changed.

Bianca needed it!

After ending the call with Bianca, Natalie stormed into Cedric’s study, flipping it upside down. Irwin had

“What are you looking for?” His voice trembled, eyes turning a fiery red.

Wexford had made them hypersensitive to their surroundings lately, making the study a particularly

sensitive spot.

When he saw Natalie in the study, and several drawers opened, it obviously looked like she was

looking

for something.

“I asked you, what are you searching for?!” Cedric’s tone grew more forceful as Natalie remained silent.

With determined strides, he approached her, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

“What do you think?” Natalie retorted, meeting his gaze.

“Are you siding with Irwin?” His words weren’t a question but an assertion filled with conviction.

Was she siding with Irwin?

Taking a deep breath, Natalie studied the man before her. “Do you believe I would stand by Irwin?”

“Yes! And you’re doing it right now!”

Silence fell after his roar.

Cedric’s fists clenched, his entire body shaking. Before Natalie could respond, he continued in a rage,

“Is

it because you unexpectedly had a child with Caleb that you feel guilty towards Irwin?”

Natalie remained silent.

“Do you even have a heart, Natalie? Do you know what kind of person he is? What do you have to feel

guilty about?” Cedric roared.

In Cedric’s mind, Natalie’s actions stemmed from guilt towards Irwin.

Ultimately, she was siding with Irwin.

Even if I wronged you in those three years, did the seven years mean absolutely nothing to you?”

Those seven years were filled with happiness.

Could she disregard them so easily?
