Cedric was taken aback by the sudden p and had been utterly defenseless against it.
He clearly didn’t expect Natalie to p him over Irwin, and the already foul mood he was in became
even
worse.

“What’s this? Did I ruin your little tryst? Come on, tell me, where were you nning to go in his car? A
romantic getaway, a mountain resort, or a hotel?” His tone was filled with anger and growing more
provocative by the moment.
He couldn’t believe she had the audacity to p him for another
How could she?!
man.
The anger on his face was obvious, and there was no trace of the indifferent expression he usually
had.
Natalie stood her ground, staring up at him. Despite the significant height difference, she showed no
signs of backing down.
“Cedric, I warned you before! Behave yourself! If you interfere in my affairs again, I won’t forgive you!”
Affairs? She actually dared to say it!
Cedric chuckled. “Is there something between you two that you don’t want people to know about?”
Perhaps that was true. After all, Irwin was very particr about his choices.
So many proposals hadn’t passed his review, yet he took Natalie’s. Irwin had many talented design
teams under his wing, so why did he choose her?
She must have done something to sway him.
Cedric couldn’t believe it.
The trust he had for her had turned into anger.
“Natalie, do you think I’m dead? We haven’t divorced yet, and you dare to flirt with other men like this!”
Cedric was nowpletely irrational.
His mind was only filled with how Natalie had made a deal with Irwin. As a man, he clearly knew what
kind of deal it was…!
How could the lower herself to that level?!
Natalie rolled her eyes and turned away, not wanting to argue with a lunatic.
As she walked away from him, she added, “I’m going to change. Remember toe pick me up, or I
won’t go!”
Cedric wrac
stunned.
Did she just agree to go back to the Johnson Manor with him? He had thought that convincing her to
apany him would require a lot of effort, considering their current hostile rtionship.
But now, was she actually agreeing?
Why did she agree? Was she trying to pacify him?
Cedric’s mind grew even more chaotic as he pondered the reasons behind her decision.
Was it because of what happened between her and Irwin…?
The more Cedric tried to understand, the more confused he got.
During an afternoon meeting, Yuvan, like everyone else, felt tense. He could sense that Cedric might
explode at any moment.
Whenever things didn’t go well with Natalie, Cedric would vent his
guess that the high–ranking executives would be scolded again.

The entire Johnson family would turn into aughingstock in Verde City.

After returning to her office, Natalie received a call from Heather.
She spoke gently on the other end, “I had some gowns sent to Elegance Bay for you. They should suit
you
well
“Thank you, Aunt!”
Natalie hade to appreciate Heather during those months abroad. Her kindness and care were
motherly, which was something Natalie had almost forgotten.
Having lost her mother at a young age, Natalie had nearly forgotten what maternal warmth felt like.
But her aunt made her feel like she had a mother again.
Heather had personally prepared Natalie’s room when she stayed at their house abroad. Before
Natalie. and Stephen left for the office in the morning, Heather would prepare breakfast with the chefs
in the
kitchen for them.
It was then that Natalie realized what a family should be like.
Regardless of wealth and social status, everyone should feel at home!
Contrary to the atmosphere of the Johnson family, which constantly made her feel oppressed, it was a
ce where she felt she belonged, without any sense of elitism.

“I’ve also checked out some jewelry designers. They were all perfect for you. I just picked a design
sample yesterday, and we’ll have a look once it’s finished.”
“Aunt, that’s enough. I don’t need so much.”
“Of course you do. You’re in Verde City now; you should dress nicely and not allow anyone to look
down on you, okay?”
Natalie was once again moved by her aunt’s kindness.
That was how Natalie was. She was easily touched when others were good to her.
“Say, do you think I raised Winnie wrongly? Is that why she has such a tomboyish personality?”
Natalie remained silent.
“Really, all the things I’ve prepared for her over the years have gathered dust!”
Speaking of Winona, Heather was also troubled. Both she and Stephen have had dreams of having a
little princess in their family. When they had a daughter, they were overjoyed.
Ultimately, it wasn’t Winona’s fault. She simply showed no interest in typical girly things from a young
age, She preferred martial arts and sports, so it was impossible for her to wear the princess dresses

After ending the call with Heather, Natalie received a call from Elegance Bay.
They informed her that a significant number of gowns had been sent, unlike the few that Heather had
mentioned on the call.
The servants at home were preparing a wardrobe for her to store all of them as her room was
overflowing
with clothes
Natalie could feel a headache starting
Ignoring it momentarily, she told the butler to send a gown with a matching jewelry set to her.
She didn’t need to see the gowns and jewelry to know that Heather had handpicked each and every
item
to suit Natalie perfectly.
When the phone call ended, Natalie finally had some peace. Her world was quiet for a moment.
Then, Karina entered the room and asked, “These are all for Mr. Frazier’s review. Could you look at
them?”
“Sure.”
Natalie looked through the documents. Karina had overseen the team making the revisions and
ensured everything was done perfectly.
This is good. We’ll use this!”
In fact, there wasn’t much need for changes now because the bidding had passed.
But it’s different now. Earlier, they had pushed out the work in the midst of panic and tension to meet
the deadline.
Back then, everyone had been on edge. It was only natural that Natalie and her team couldn’t see
some of the smaller problems.
In contrast to that, it was easier to identify areas for improvement and fine–tune the designs once the
initial tension had faded and the team had enough rest. This allowed them to create a more wless
final product
In the afternoon, Natalie and Karina met with clients from South City. They managed to seal a deal with
them after some discussion By the time they finished, it was already past three o’clock.
Natalie changed into a champagne–colored gown, her hair elegantly styled up to highlight her petite

Heather’s choice of fashion turned out to be excellent. The gown she had selected for Natalie was not
only elegant but also skillfully concealed her height disadvantage.
Cedric called her, and Natalie answered.
“Hello.”
“I’m downstairs,” he said.
“I’ll be right down,” Natalie replied.
She put on her silver high heels and made her way downstairs. Before leaving, she delegated some
work. matters to Karina. In a short amount of time, she had adapted well to being a businesswoman.
As she passed through the office area on her way out, everyone, including the female employees,
looked
at her in astonishment.
Cedric was waiting in the car.
When he saw Natalie emerge, his breath caught, and his eyes widened:
She… she looked…!
At that moment, Natalie took his breath away.
