Chapter 78


    Chapter 78 Bring the Papers to the Hospital


    Cedric’s mind exploded upon hearing the news that Isabe was in the emergency room.


    Without wasting a moment, he got up, threw on a jacket, and rushed out.


    The butler saw himing down, and his expression turned confused. Cedric hadn’t even changed his


    clothes before leaving, which indicated that something urgent had urred.


    Compared to Cedric’s restless night, Natalie had a peaceful night’s sleep.


    Even though she was briefly interrupted by a call from Isaac, she quickly fell back asleep after hanging


    up.


    Now, she was already at her office.


    Karina stood before her, and they were discussing work matters.


    “Mr. Frazier will be going to the eastern suburbs in the afternoon. If you’re avable, you should also


    head


    there. He’s a major client, and we need to pay special attention to him.”


    Natalie nodded. “Yeah, you’re right.”


    Even without Karina’s reminder, she had already intended to go,


    Karina continued, “We’ve taken on a new project, and I’ve already assigned it to the design team. You


    won’t need to personally get involved in this one.”


    She spoke with confidence, knowing that their design team was experienced and reliable. Natalie now


    needed to focus more on managing thepany effectively.


    Natalie thought the same and agreed. “Okay.”


    Karina went on, “We’re short on staff, and we need to hire more people. You don’t have to worry about


    that; I’ll handle the recruitment.”


    “Sure.”


    She hadn’t expected her design studio to be this busy. She was new to the working world, and


    only after getting directly involved did she realize how overwhelming it could be.


    They had to keep hiring more people as the number of projects increased. Having Stephen as a


    support was certainly helpful since many of their projects came through his connections.


    “Do you have any ns for the morning?” Karina asked.


    Natalie replied, “Yes, help me contact Mr. Yancey.”


    Since Cedric had agreed, she wanted to expedite the process and get the divorce agreement signed.


    She


    nned to bring thewyer along and address any issues on the spot. The goal for today was to


    secure


    Cedric’s signature on the divorce agreement.


    “Alright,” “Karina nodded and went to make the arrangements.


    rk arrived soon after. The man carried a briefcase and looked remarkably handsome.


    Natalie was dressed professionally, with light makeup that made her appear energetic.


    As they arrived at Verde Biotech Ventures inside Radiant Tower, the receptionists respectfully greeted


    Natalie.


    The two of them proceeded unimpeded to Cedric’s office. When Yuvan saw Natalie, he hesitated for a


    moment before addressing her, “Hello, Madam.”


    Although his tone was respectful, there was a hint of dissatisfaction underlying his words. Natalie


    raised an eyebrow, wondering why Yuvan seemed displeased with her. She couldn’t recall any incident


    where she had offended him.


    “Is he inside?” Natalie asked.


    Natalie couldn’t be bothered with insignificant individuals like Yuvan. She was here to take care of


    important matters.


    Yuvan responded, “Mr. Johnson hasn’t arrived yet.”


    Natalie replied, “I’ll wait for him inside.”


    However, Yuvan tried to stop her. He said, “Madam, you shouldn’t enter Mr. Johnson’s office at the


    moment.”

    “Oh?” Natalie responded with a mocking smile.


    At this moment, she had a good idea why Yuvan was antagonistic towards her. It seemed to have


    startedst night.


    Yuvan had quite the show to watchst night, but not an entire show, as he had missed Isabe’s part.


    Because of how well Isabe hid things, she had now confused both Cedric and Yuvan!


    In Yuvan’s eyes, Natalie was now an extremely malicious woman.


    Natalie gave Yuvan a look as if she were looking at a fool. Yuvan felt unsettled by it!


    Yuvan gathered the courage to say, “After all, this is your choice; you’ve already partnered with Apex


    Global…”


    Yuvan trailed off here, his words suggesting that Natalie was no longer suitable for entering Cedric’s


    office, given her current professional affiliations.


    Natalie nodded, unfazed by Yuvan’s opinion.


    She remarked, “In that case, I’ll head to the lounge.


    She didn’t care anyway.


    As she walked toward the lounge, Natalie decided to call Cedric. Time was of the essence, and she


    couldn’t afford to waste it waiting for him.


    Cedric answered quickly, and his familiar deep voice from the other end asked, “What’s the matter?”


    “I’m waiting for you in your office,” Natalie replied.


    “Why?”


    Cedric didn’t believe that Natalie had any good intentions ining to see him. After all, her mind was


    solely focused on the divorce.


    As expected, Natalie responded. “Since you publicly dered your intention to divorce me in front of so


    many peoplest night, it’s only natural that I’m here to sign the papers and set you free.”


    “Are you giving me freedom, or are you trying to free yourself from me?”


    Natalie replied with a casual tone, “Both.”


    “You…!


    Cedric was so angry he couldn’t form a proper sentence.


    Had she grown so repulsed by him that she wanted to sign the divorce papers the very next day after


    their


    announcement?


    Was she really not able to wait even one more minute to leave his side?


    When Cedric thought about this, he felt frustrated.


    He pondered for a while and eventually said, “Alright.”


    The tone he spoke in was cold and dangerous, as if he were at the edge of his patience. It was a


    sensation that radiated even through the phone, leaving anyone uncertain of what he might do in such


    a


    Upon hearing his response, Natalie closed her eyes, contemting her next move!


    Her exquisite face appeared rxed, a sharp contrast to the man on the other end of the phone.


    She responded nonchntly, ‘Then I’ll wait for you.”


    Cedric’s response was resolute, “I’m noting back. Bring the papers to the hospital, and I’ll sign


    them.”


    Natalie’s heart sank upon hearing that she needed to go to the hospital.


    There was no need to exin why she had a strong aversion to hospitals now, especially the one


    Cedric


    told her to head to.


    She hesitated but asked, “When will you be back?”


    If she could get the document signed here, she would naturally be unwilling to send it to the hospital


    where he was.


    Cedric’s voice turned mocking as he said, “What’s the matter? Are you scared? You don’t need to use


    such tactics to provoke me. I know what you’re thinking, and you know it too! So you know, do you?”


    Natalie stayed silent, feeling a shiver down her spine. The coldness on her face grew more intense,


    and a glimpse of sharpness shed in her eyes.


    The man on the phone continued, “Since you already know, let’s do it this way. You temporarily give


    your eyes to Isabe, and I’ll agree to the divorce.”


    “Hah!” Natalle scoffed.


    It hade to this point, after all. Even for a divorce, did she have to make such a trade?


    This man was shameless to the extreme!


    Natalie took a deep breath. She shoved down all the emotions she was feeling and asked, “What if I


    don’t


    agree?”


    “Then you’ll never get rid of me in your lifetime!”


    Bam!


    Natalie threw her phone down on the ground.


    She couldn’t believe Cedric had the audacity to utter such words!


    rk had silently watched the exchange, As Natalie calmed herself, he calmly said, “Let’s go through


    the


    The shouting from the earlier phone call was audible, and it was apparent that rk had heard it.


    Though he was typically indifferent, there was a fleeting moment of pity in his eyes as he looked at.
