Chapter 142


    Chapter 142 Beaten Up


    “With this, do you think I should still forgive her?”


    Every word from Isabe sounded heartbroken.


    Cedric closed his eyes, and they were even colder when he opened them again.


    “I want to sue her!” Isabe said determinedly.


    Isabe was alone, and her mother had already been humiliated; she didn’t need to deliberately please


    anyone anymore!


    Seizing this opportunity, she wanted to make her stance clear about Natalie and no longer hide her


    feelings in front of Cedric.


    When Isabe dered her intention to sue Natalie, Cedric narrowed his eyes. He nced at the


    disheveled and pitiful Isabe, a hint ofpassion flickering in his eyes.


    He took a deep breath.


    “I will handle this matter.” Cedric finally said.


    “I no longer need her apology. I’m sorry, Cedric, this time…. I’m afraid I can’t consider your feelings on


    this


    anymore!TM


    Isabe’s tone was gentle but firm. She made it clear that she had been considering Cedric’s position


    before, but Natalie insulting her mother was thest line.


    This time, she wouldn’tpromise.


    Undoubtedly, she was forcing Cedric with this approach.


    She wouldn’t sue Natalie herself. She didn’t know what Natalie held in her hands that she acted so


    arrogantly. With that thought in mind, Isabe dared not confront her directly.


    But on Cedric’s side…


    As long as he put his mind to it, he could make Natalie’s life miserable


    Cedric closed his eyes. “What do you want?


    already suffered so much because of her. Does my mother also need to bear her nder as well?”


    Isabels emphasized the word “mother.


    Cedric nodded. “Alright. I understand”

    After Cedric left, Isabe was alone in the ward.


    She smirked and muttered, “Natalie, this is your own doing!”


    Since Natalie wanted to make Isabe suffer in purgatory, Natalie couldn’t have a good life either!


    When Natalie emerged from the meeting, she felt a bit anxious.


    “Don’t worry, Ms. Walker. All the design drafts will be ready by tomorrow!”


    “Yeah, I know.” Natalie nodded.


    How could she not be anxious?


    Thepany had invested heavily in promoting the new products, and the schedule was already set.


    If the customization couldn’t be finalized, everything….


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Earlier, the designs she had chosen with her own eyes were deemed uneptable by Zane.


    She had only been in this industry for a rtively short time and had been relying on her intuition. That


    was the reason Stephen had sent Zane.


    So, she would listen to some of Zane’s advice. Since he had said those two drafts weren’t good without


    hesitation, then they weren’t!


    Just then, her phone buzzed. Natalie checked to see that it was Irwin calling.


    She answered, “Hello.”


    “I’m going to the eastern suburbs tomorrow. Will youe along?”


    The eastern suburbs?


    The work at her studio!


    Now, Netalle was a bit overwhelmed. She finally understood that human energy is limited. After she got


    Involved with Sylvan Gems‘ matters, she rarely paid attention to the studio.


    “Wait a moment. She said to Irwin as she picked up her schedule to check. “Can we do it tomorrow


    morning?


    +15 BONUS


    “Sure.”


    “Okay.”


    “Also…” Just as Natalie was about to hang up, the man on the other end interrupted her.


    “What is it?”


    “I’ll pick you up in a while.”


    “Okay.” Natalie agreed.


    Thinking about her date with Irwin tonight, she felt a bit strange. She had never thought about dating


    another man while she was with Cedric.


    But now, this…!


    The afternoon was busy.


    After two consecutive meetings, Natalie looked at the time. It was almost time to go, so she left the


    meeting room.


    An employee stopped her as she was about to leave.


    “Ms. Walker, Mr. Johnson is waiting for you in the guest room.”


    Cedric?


    Surprise shed across her face. Natalie understood that Cedric woulde looking for her, but she


    didn’t expect him to be so quick,


    However, she didn’t care.


    Looking at the time on her wristwatch, she noted that Irwin wouldn’t arrive for a while.


    “Let’s go!”


    With that, she strode towards the guest room. The ss door opened, and a pungent smell of smoke


    hit her:


    Natalie frowned.


    The man heard the movement and looked at her. When he saw her, his eyebrows were furrowed.


    You’re quite busy now.


    +15 BONUS


    He had waited here for two hours after arriving, even attempting to find her in the meeting room


    midway. But each time, he was intercepted by the assistant.


    The work environment here was rigorous, and everyone was serious, indicating strict management.


    “If you know I’m busy, just get to the point!” Natalie said as she nced at her wristwatch.


    Looking at how arrogant she was behaving, Cedric’s originally anxious heart instantly transformed into


    a


    raging fire.


    “Natalie!”


    “It seems whatever your reason for being here isn’t that important, hmm?” Natalie dismissed his gritted


    teeth with disdain and turned towards her office.


    In the past, whenever she came to see him in thepany and he was busy, he would solemnly say to


    her, I’m busy. Whatever it is, spit it out!


    Now, when it was his turn, he couldn’t even do it!


    So what did the demanding requirements he had for her before amounted to now?


    *Stop!


    Just as she took a couple of steps, the man behind her called her.


    Natalie stood still, not turning around. The demeanor from her back created a sense of distance,


    making


    it impossible to get close, even though Cedric was now right behind her.


    “Do you need something else?” Natalie frowned, feeling the man’s icy re.


    Actually, there was no need to ask.


    She probably knew why Cedric hade.


    After all, Isabe was constantly thinking about how to scheme against her.


    So, Natalie didn’t care much today.


    Although she lost all her rtives at a young age. Natalie wasn’t an uncultured person. She wouldn’t


    randomly pour salt into people’s wounds.


    “Natalie, do you know you’re acting like some demon now? Cedric spoke in a doubtful tone.


    A sharp light shed in Natalie’s eyes.


    +15 BONUS


    “You knew it long ago, didn’t you?


    She was referring to the matter with Isabe’s mother.


    …Know what?”


    “The rtionship between Isabe and me!”


    “What rtionship do you have?”


    Natalie was speechless.


    Her mind was nk..


    What? Was Cedric here to question her without knowing the rtionship between her and Isabe?!


    Cedric recalled the recording he had heard in the hospital room, trying to remember its contents.


    At that time, all he had heard were Natalie’s insults towards Isabe’s mother, and he hadn’t paid much


    attention to their rtionship.


    Now, thinking back, a chill ran down his spine.


    “Y–your rtionship with her…?”


    Cedric’s l*ps trembled, and he couldn’t finish his sentence.


    Natalie and Isabe…
