    Chapter 54 Dealing With Her Again


    Elegance Bay.


    Beforeing here, Natalie had only heard of it. She always felt that it must be a realm of luxury


    beyond


    outsiders‘ imagination.


    However, when she truly set her eyes on the grandeur of the ce, she realized why it was so highly


    sought after in high society.


    People outside called it a vi. But from Natalie’s perspective, it was an exquisite castle. Even just


    standing at its entrance made her feel like she was in a queen’s dream.


    “When did my uncle buy this ce?” Natalie asked Karina.


    At the time, she thought only people from Verde City bought properties here. She hadn’t expected her


    uncle, who was abroad, to have acquired one.


    Karina replied, “Mr. Jarvis owns countless properties worldwide, and he himself has lost count. He


    wanted to give you a house, so the housekeeper dug up this ce.”


    Natalie was left speechless. Stephen didn’t even remember this ce himself!


    Karina said, “The staff here was all put in ce just yesterday. The preparations were a bit hasty, so


    please bear with it.”


    This was quite a bold statement.


    The fact that such a good residence was something Stephen didn’t remember was truly humbling.


    Natalie felt embarrassed at her previous thoughts. She had worried that Stephen’s gift might be too


    extravagant. But if her uncle didn’t even remember the ce, it probably didn’t matter much to him.


    “What are you saying? For me, having a ce to live is already great,” Natalie replied.


    As long as she didn’t return to Scarlet Vi, it was all good.


    After lunch, Natalie went to change her clothes. When she stood in front of the wardrobe, her concept


    of luxury was once again refreshed.


    Cedric used to give her everything, but now…


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    These famous brands from around the world and custom–made, handcrafted clothing made Natalie


    feel overwhelmed:


    “Mr. Jarvis said he didn’t know what you liked, so he had someone send each series from various


    lines.


    You can just choose whatever you like in the future,” Karina exined.


    Natalie replied, “1-! like them all!”


    Could she not like them?


    She felt like even saying she didn’t like them would provoke divine retribution, okay?!


    But a question lingered in her mind.


    “Didn’t my uncle and his family always keep a low profile? Why is he suddenly.


    Natalie didn’t continue, but Karina understood her implication.


    Win


    Karina replied, “Actually, Mr. Jarvis has always wanted to give Ms. Winnie all the wonderful things. He


    wanted to give her the best in the world. But Ms. Winnie has never liked these girly things.


    Natalie had heard about it.


    Despite being a girl, Winona liked things that were more typically associated with boys, such as


    basketball and ping pong. She was also pursuing a profession in the medical field, which involved


    performing several surgeries a day. Even her hairstyle was a short pixie cut.


    “So, he’s more than willing to ce all his dreams of raising a little princess on you.”


    Natalie couldn’t help but be speechless about this.


    Well, that was how her uncle was. He couldn’t do anything with his own daughter, and Natalie had


    always known that.


    After changing her clothes, Natalle followed Karina outside and again experienced the extent of her


    uncle’s affection.


    A silver Bugatti was parked at the front gate.


    Natalie looked at Karina and then at the car.


    “Come on,” Karina said.


    Natalle asked, “We’re taking this car?”


    Karina nodded, “Yes,”


    1.I’d rather not. Let’s take the car we used earlier.”


    Natalie felt like it was too extravagant. During the few months she had spent abroad, she had already


    experienced how doting Stephen could be!


    While Winona had run off to some desert, Natalie was either brought to various events or had various


    pieces of jewelry delivered to her on a regr basis.


    Her aunt had already bought so much jewelry that Natalie had nowhere to store them!


    Natalie really didn’t want anyone from the Johnson family to know about her rtionship with Stephen.


    If


    driving this


    Cedric saw her car, he would certainly investigate…!


    Little did she know that Cedric had already started having Yuvan investigate the rtionship between


    her


    and Stephen.


    Cedric wasn’t normally a man who jumped to conclusions. Natalie had been his wife for ten years. Now


    that she had gotten close to another man, Cedric wouldn’t rest until he discovered the reason behind it.


    In the end, Karina didn’t follow Natalie’s suggestion, stating that this was Stephen’s order. It was only


    then that Natalie realized how highly Karina regarded Stephen’s words.


    At the bidding event in the afternoon, Natalie and Irwin sat together. She was on Irwin’s right side, while


    Cedric and Yuvan sat on his left.


    The atmosphere in the room was quite tense.


    Cedric nced at Yuvan, who quickly averted his gaze, clearly afraid to meet his eyes. He hadn’t


    expected Natalie to appear here with Irwin, which indicated that Irwin had approved her design


    proposal.


    Cedric was seething with anger, while Natalie appeared calm as if nothing had happened. She wore a


    custom–made beige professional outfit thatplemented her petite figure, exuding an air of elegance


    and sophistication. Despite her small stature, her presence was truly remarkable.


    Several otherpanies had already submitted their designs, but all had failed to pass the final


    evaluation. This showed how strict the review process for the eastern suburb project was, emphasizing


    the need for an integrated assessment of the surrounding facilities,


    When It came to Irwin and Cedric’s designs, Natalie’s heart raced. She shot a quick nce at Irwin, but


    he remainedposed.


    Suddenly, a buzzing sound from her phone interrupted her concentration.


    Natalie looked down to check the message, which was from Cedric


    It read, [I’ll deal with you outside!!


    Natalie shot Cedric a fierce re.


    Cedric seemed to be calm on the outside, but the tension in his b*dynguage betrayed his underlying


    emotions.


    He was clearly furious, even reaching his limit.


    At the hospital, Christina couldn’t help but burst intoughter when she heard about what had


    happened


    in the hospital room the night before.


    The story brought her great amusement, and she could almost imagine what was going on in Natalie’s


    mind then.


    “Well done, I’ll give you a bonus,” Christina generously remarked.


    The agreement between her and Isabelle had been agreed beforehand. But the satisfaction Christinal


    derived from watching Natalie’s unexpected troubles made her willing to offer even more money.


    However, Christina didn’t expect Isabe’s response when she heard about the extrapensation.


    Isabe’s eyes revealed a hint of disdain, indicating that she didn’t really care about the additional


    money.


    Christina was unfazed by Isabe’sck of respect.


    “Even though you did well, we still need to speed things up.”


    Christina couldn’t wait another moment.


    Her initial n was to create a rift between Natalie and Cedric before Elizabeth’s birthday, but now it


    seemed impossible.


    A sharp glint of determination shed in her eyes.


    Seeing how Isabe remained silent, Christina firmly said, “You better not be thinking of things you


    shouldn’t!”


    She was well aware of Isabe’s intentions when it came to Cedric


    Christina didn’t want another woman like Natalie, who didn’t know her ce, to get in her way.


    Back at the bidding venue, the atmosphere had be quite bizarre.


    After careful evaluation and extensive deliberation, the results were finally announced.
