Chapter 63 Taking Action
Cedric was already angry, and now he trembled with rage.
Domestic abuse? She was making it sound so severe!
I
“Do you truly not understand why I hit you every time?”
Didn’t she know what was the real reason behind every altercation?
It was all because of…!
Natalie’s sharp gaze met his as she said, “Do you think it really matters why you get violent every time
Isabe is brought up?”
It wasmon sense that even regr people understood. He was so impatient!
Natalie lowered her head and continued to work on the documents. She appeared fully engrossed, just
like Cedric did when he was working.
Cedric closed his eyes and sat down in the chair recently upied by rk. But Natalie paid him no
attention. Cedric watched her as she ignored him, and his brows twitched.
“Put down the documents first.”
She didn’t need to do this.
Seeing her working diligently, Cedric suddenly felt a sense of frustration. After ten years together, she
had never held a job.
What had driven her to this point?
Natalie signed the final document and then looked at Cedric. “Is there anything else?”
Cedric replied, “There’s a banquet tomorrow. Come with me.
“Isn’t it today?”
“Tomorrow!”
Natalie had actually confused the dates!
This error further frustrated Cedric, but it wasn’t only Natalie’s fault.
He was just as guilty, as was Reba.
Everyone typically celebrated their birthdays on the Gregorian calendar, but Elizabeth insisted on using
the lunar calendar.
It was easy to mix up the dates in such cases.
Natalie replied, “Can’t you see I’m busy?”
She tried to mimic his past behavior and attitude.
Cedric had always been very meticulous and strict in his work. That meant that even Natalie, during his
busiest moments, couldn’t expect a friendly response to her requests.
Now, their roles werepletely reversed!
Thinking about Natalie upying her current position and the support she had received afterward,
Cedric’s face turned grim.
“That guy treats you so well. Does he not know you’re married?”
Whenever he thought of Stephen, it made him angry. While he believed that Natalie wasn’t that kind of
person, he couldn’t deny that Stephen treated her very well.
He used to trust Natalie deeply!
But now, when he saw how well that man treated her, his trust started wavering.
No man would treat a woman well for no reason. There must be something between them…!
Cedric couldn’t bear to think any further. His thoughts were driving him to a point where he might lose
control and want to strangle her.
Natalie nced at him as if he were a fool.
Cedric asked, “Did he buy you that car?”
He had made all those calls just to inquire about the car. A Bugatti Veyron wasn’t cheap. Even women
who were mistresses didn’t receive such treatment.
Why was Natalie so special to that man?
He had not only given her such an expensive car but also supported her in opening this studio.
Natalie nodded and said, “Yes.”
With a loud thud, Cedric mmed his fist on the desk, causing the table to shudder. Natalie looked at
him Himout a trace of patience,
“If you want to go crazy, do it outside. This isn’t where you can vent your anger whenever you want.”
Did he still think things were the same as in the past?
Cedric’s voice dripped with anger. “Natalie, do you have any shame? You’re a married woman. How
can
you ept those favors from other men? Do you even realize what that implies?”
Cedric had never been this furious before.
Right now, madness filled his eyes as he stared at Natalie.
What had made her ept that man’s favors so unapologetically in front of him?!
Natalie mmed her pen on the desk fiercely.
“I won’t go to the manor tomorrow. You still have time to find a suitable femalepanion, right? Oh,
wait, Isabe can apany you! See, problem solved.”
The mere mention of Isabe sent a chill down Natalie’s spine.
That woman wasn’t blind!
However, Cedric didn’t believe her.
He had even pped her in the face for trying to expose Isabe’s true nature in front of him.
Perhaps it would have been better if she hadn’t mentioned Isabe, as just her name was enough to
sour Cedric’s mood.
If they were to settle scores, there were far too many things to consider between him and Natalie. In
fact, there were so many to count that it was endless.
The two refused to back down!
Finally, Cedric left with a final statement, “I don’t care. You’lle with me to the manor tomorrow!”
His tone was strong andmanding, leaving no room for negotiation.
Natalie couldn’t be bothered about him.
Outside, public opinion was still rampant.
Natalie’s malicious words had spread far and wide, and thements she received were mostly
Unfavorables
There were the asional supporters, but they were quickly drowned out.
As she finished work, the b*dyguards Stephen had sent her were waiting outside to ensure her safety.
Some reporters had already found her studio and attempted to interview her but were forcefully
removed
by the b*dyguards.
They apanied Natalie to the car.
Christina visited Isabe at the hospital whenever she had time, discussing how to make Natalie leave
for
good.
She watched the television reports of Natalie being surrounded by reporters. She didn’t answer any
questions and was escorted to the car by b*dyguards.
Christina was filled with dissatisfaction as she watched the scene.
“Can’t believe she’s like this, and there are still people protecting her,” she grumbled.
Natalie was so lucky.
It used to be Cedric protecting her, and now it was that foreign man.
Christina just didn’t understand. With a man abroad protecting Natalie so fiercely, why wouldn’t she
agree to a divorce?!
It would be better for everyone, wouldn’t it?
The more Christina thought about it, the more uneasy she became.
Isabe was holding a ss of red wine. She swirled itzily, then looked at Christina and asked, “Is it
true that she has a foreign man?”
“Why wouldn’t it be? That shameless woman is capable of anything.” Christina replied, growing angrier
at the mention of Natalie.
Isabe concealed her hostility in her eyes. She was determined to find out how long those men would
protect Natalie in her present condition!

Christina’s anger red as she vented her frustration, “Have you made any effort on your side? Today,
my mom told me Ced has a firm stance and won’t divorce her!”
Reba’s words had left Christina seething, and she couldn’t contain her anger.
Teabe repeated, “He won’t divorce her?”
Christina nodded in confirmation. “Yes. That’s not all. He doesn’t seem to care about Joyce, either.
What
on earth is going on?”
During this period, both their side and the public opinion from the outside should have been sufficient to
push Cedric into divorcing Natalie.
However, despite his anger, he had never contemted divorce.
That was what baffled Christina.
The ongoing disputes seemed to have achieved nothing but making the couple fight more.
Isabe closed her eyes. When she opened them, a gleam of determination shone through.
“It seems I was too lenient with her in the past!”
