Chapter 158


    Chapter 158 Dim–witted


    Half an hourter, Natalie met Bianca in a café and recounted the situation between Cedric and Irwin..


    Bianca was also shocked.


    “Irwin is Apex Global’s CEO! How did Cedric manage to do that?” Bianca wondered.


    “I don’t know,” Natalie shook her head.


    She didn’t know how Cedric had managed to get Irwin out of Verde City, but the current situation was


    clearly not in her favor.


    Bianca looked at Natalie with concern. Cedric’s proposal for remarriage, wasn’t a joke!


    “Bia, why don’t you temporarily put aside what you’re working on and leave Verde City for a while?”


    Natalie suggested.


    “Will hee after me next?‘ Bianca grumbled.


    Natalie silently observed her. Bianca also recalled the incident of the previous divorce case.


    Cedric had a substantial infuence in Verde City. Whatever he wanted to do, there was no one to stop


    him.


    He was ruthless to everyone, and that included Natalie!


    “From what I can tell, it seems like he has settled Isabe’s matter and has turned his attention back to


    you,” nca remarked.


    Natalie was silent.


    “He probably agreed to the divorce previously because you kept pestering him about it. Since he had


    no time on his hands to handle it, he probably used it as a method to temporarily coax you!”


    “What do you mean?”


    That shameless guy never had the intention of letting you go.”

    Natalie’s face turned p


    He never nned on letting her go?!


    Hearing Bianca’s words and the fact that Irwin had hastily left Verde City left an ominous feeling in the


    air.


    “Perhaps you should leave Verde City to avoid him, nca suggested after thinking for a moment:


    “I’m not leaving!” Natalie asserted.


    “I can’t leave now!”


    If there was nothing holding her back, it wouldn’t be a problem to leave now.


    However, putting aside her currentmitments at Auro Studio, she was still the CEO of Sylvan


    Gems.


    She couldn’t up and leave just because she wanted to.


    “Don’t panic. Just carry on with your work and see what he’s up to,” Bianca advised.


    Both of them knew that when Cedric went mad, there were no boundaries.


    After leaving the café, Natalie couldn’t shake off Bianca’s words about Cedric turning his attention back


    to her and everything else she had said.


    The more she thought about it, the more chaotic her mind became!


    Natalie was reluctant to admit, but… there was a possibility that what Bianca said was right.


    If Cedric had never intended to let her go


    then why had he forced Natalie and Isabe to live together in


    her previous life?


    What the hell was that for?


    Natalie’s breathing sped up as she continued to think


    Bianca’s words and the scene from thest life where Cedric refused to divorce her kept reying in


    her


    mind.


    She couldn’t help but tremble.


    Last time, Cedric was unwilling to


    divorce her, even if it meant burning her to death.


    So, how could he easily let her go in this life?


    Just then, her phone vibrated. Natalle checked to see it was Stephen calling.


    Trying her best to calm down, she answered, “Hello, Uncle!”


    Did you call me just now?


    “Yes.


    “What happened?”


    Natalie was currently sitting in her car, and she raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sun.


    “Nothing much.”


    After thinking it over, she decided not to tell Stephen. Maybe she and Bianca were too sensitive at this


    stage?


    “I have a meeting now, so I’m hanging up. Call me if you need anything, okay?”


    “Sure.”


    After hanging up the call, Natalie ran her hand over her face, Various emotions shed on her face.


    Cedric .!


    Natalie thought she would no longer be involved with this man after she had divorced him.


    But… she was really wrong!


    If this m


    If this man was so easily shaken off, she wouldn’t have ended up burnt to ashes in her previous life.


    In the evening, Natalie returned to Elegance Bay, and Nigel greeted her respectfully, “Miss, you’re


    finally


    back.”


    “What’s going on?” Natalie asked as she handed her bag to him.


    Nigel replied, “Dinner has been ready for a while.”


    Natalie checked the time on her wristwatch; it was


    a bitte, already past dinner time.


    As she went inside, she told Nigel, “In the future, have dinner prepared a bitter.”


    “Yes, ma’am.”


    After all, her work usually ended around this time. And if she did any overtime, she would be home


    even


    Tater than this.


    Following Natalie’s request, the meal prepared for her was simple. It would have been extravagant if it


    were ording to Stephen’s preference.


    Having grown up being thrifty, Natalie found such extravagance a waste. Although her parents had left


    her


    it, she wouldn’t have been able to make ends meet.


    Natalie was only halfway through her meal when amotion outside reached her ears. She nced


    at Nigel, who was also looking outside.


    “Go and see what’s happening!”


    “Yes, ma’am.”


    Nigel was about to step out when someone burst through the entrance!


    Leon was following behind the person, and they seemed to have just had a scuffle.


    Natalie’s heart sank when she saw who it was.


    “Mr. Johnson, it’s quitete now. Our mistress has been working all day and is tired. Please leave!”


    Nigel said as he stepped forward to block Cedric.


    Cedric stood where he was and smirked at Natalie, ignoring Nigel. His silence carried an overwhelming


    sense of oppression.


    Leon was furious. He was standing in a way that indicated he was ready for action.


    If Natalie gave the order, things would surely escte!


    However, Natalie didn’t.


    She knew that if Cedric had forced his way in here today, it must be because he had prepared


    beforehand!


    He never acted without a contingency n.


    “Nigel, he’s a guest. What are you doing?” Natalie looked at Cedric and spoke up, emphasizing the


    word ”


    guest.”


    At Natalie’s words, Nigel stepped aside. Seeing how Natalie said nothing else, Nigel remained quiet as


    Cedric sat opposite her.


    Like a master, he ordered the servants, ‘Bring another set of utensils!”


    I didn’t know you wereing, so they didn’t prepare extra,” Natalie said immediately after.


    Natalie was already annoyed by Cedric’s Intrusion, but now he was acting like the master here!


    As she finished speaking the air around him noticeably chilled. The next moment, the dining table was


    overturned with a loud crash.


    Natalie was still holding her utensils, and she was a bit slow to react to the sudden scene. The sev


    on the scene were even more shocked and gasped in surprise.


    After a while, Natalie snapped back to reality!


    She red fiercely at Cedric, her head throbbing with anger.


    ‘Cedric, are you out of your mind?!”


    Not only did he barge in, but he also fl*pped the table?!


    How dare he? Who the hell did he think he was?!


    He was crazy.


    He was wholly and utterly crazy!


    Facing Cedric at this moment, Natalie instantly felt that what she mentioned to Irwin during the day was


    nothingpared to this.


    This was true madness.


    In the face of Natalie’s anger, Cedric seemedpletely indifferent.


    A patronizing yet icy smile spread on his l*ps as he said, “What’s so great about eating alone? Come,


    I’ll


    take you to eat something delicious!
