Chapter 205


    Chapter 205 Captured


    As Natalie left Sylvan Gems, she called Cedric repeatedly. Seeing her, Leon quickly caught up.


    Hearing footsteps behind her, Natalie turned back. “Don’t follow me.”


    “Mr. Jarvis has instructed that I stay close to you for your safety,” Leon said respectfully.


    Natalie’s head throbbed.


    Cedric’s hatred for her was now vented entirely on Sylvan Gems. With relevant departments present


    tonight, she would be unable to escape if things weren’t handled well.


    Call after call, Cedric never answered.


    Finally, she got into the car.


    “Go to Scarlet Vi, Natalie said to Leon, who slid into the driver’s seat.


    He nodded.


    Natalie wasn’t certain if Cedric was there, but it was worth a try.


    She wasn’t disappointed.


    Upon arriving, the butler’s worried gaze confirmed Cedric’s presence.


    “Ms. Walker.” The butler blocked her as she tried to enter.


    Natalie shot the butler a sharp look. “What?”


    “Mr. Johnson has instructed us not to let you in.”


    Natalie’s eyes shed sharply at the words.


    She wasn’t allowed in?


    How dare that man?!


    She looked at Leon, and he stepped forward to block the butler. Security personnel surrounded them,


    but Leon handled them all.


    As Natalie headed inside, the butler yelled, “Miss, this will only anger Mr. Johnson more!”


    Natalie couldn’t care less. This time, things were not so simple. It was much more serious than the


    previous troubles. If Cedric didn’t have something in his hands, he couldn’t create such a storm.

    Inside, Cedric sat on the sofa with a cold look. The expensive ashtray on the low table was filled with


    cigarette butts. His refined features were icy, devoid of warmth.


    He looked at her as if he were looking at a stranger.


    Natalie closed her eyes, then opened them. Her eyes were clear as she approached and tossed her


    phone to Cedric.


    “Take a look.”


    Normally, she didn’t want to exin too much about these matters, having exined too many times


    before.


    But now, she could see that he was unwilling to let her off until she died.


    Why should she die for their mistakes?


    Moreover, she had already died once for these people!


    Bang!


    Natalie’s emotions became somewhat unstable. Before she could speak, Cedric continued, “Do you


    want to know what’s happening with Irwin?”


    Natalie was silent.


    Was it really Cedric’s doing? Even though she knew that tonight’s incident in the eastern suburbs might


    be rted to Cedric when Irwin received that call and left, she didn’t expect him to say it outright


    Now, it not only seemed rted, but the connection was significant!


    She took a deep breath and looked at the man before her, feeling a chill in the air.


    reach that far?


    “Cedric


    The phone was mmed onto the ground, and it shattered instantly.


    Natalie was speechless.


    Her already unpleasant expression turned colder as she looked at Cedric,


    “What, are you trying to give me some exnations now?” Cedric asked in a mocking tone.


    “Stop what you’re doing already!” Natalie shouted angrily.


    “Natalie, this is just the beginning!”


    Just the beginning?


    Nataliepletely lost herposure. She walked towards Cedric with ice in her eyes.


    Ten lives?!”


    The eastem suburbs?


    The construction site?!


    Natalie’s vision swam.


    He was ruthless, truly ruthless.


    When she was by his side before, she thought he was formidable when she witnessed his methods


    against his enemies.


    But she never expected him to use those methods on her.


    Whether it was her previous life or this one, he only ever showed indifference towards her when


    Isabe


    was kidnapped. He had never resorted to such measures.


    This time… he used the methods he employed against his enemies on her.


    He wanted to trample her into the mud, and he was treating her like one of those enemies.


    He wasn’t just ruthless.


    He was cold and harsh!


    At this moment, Natalie understood clearly that Cedric had truly let her go.


    He didn’t feel disappointment in her like he did before.


    No, this was himpletely letting her go.


    He treated her like any other outsider, using the cruelest methods to throw her from a high ce into


    the mud.


    “If that’s not enough, there are.


    Natalie interrupted him. “I didn’t do any of those things!”


    Cedric was silent.

    ahe Hted speaking the coldness emanating from the man intensified. Anger filled the air. Looking to


    her eyes, there was no warmth, only danger.


    with a burst of anger, Natalie bent down to pick up her broken phone Although the screen was


    shattered, the words on it could still be seen.

    She opened her email and pulled out its contents. Then, she handed them: to Cedric


    Hysterically, she shouted, “Take a good look! Look at who really did something tonno’s fiancée and


    who kidnapped Isabe!”


    At this moment, Natalie couldn’t even be bothered to utter Christina’s name. This woman was a sly fox,


    and she had been in the Johnson family for many years. It was not easy to track down the evidence


    that could prove her crimes!


    Cedric didn’t take her phone. He nced Indifferently at it without bothering to check what it was. He


    only saw the bank’s surveince screenshots showing Christina,


    He smiled in a cold and dangerous manner.


    “Are you anxious already? Ready to me everything on Tina?”


    When he mentioned Christina’s name, his tone was gentle.


    Natalie’s vision was more than just dark; her world was swept away by a tornado.


    See?


    It wasn’t like she didn’t try to exin!


    Every time before, he behaved in the same way.


    And now, he was doing it again!


    “I told you that I lost the card. I never knew who was using it. But now it’s obvious that it’s Christina


    using


    1. it.


    “It was her! She did all of those things!”


    “She was the one who bribed the people who kidnapped Isabe in my name. She was the one who


    used


    my ount to transfer the funds. She was also the one who bribed the person who kidnapped Isaac’s


    fiancée and the doctor who performed surgery on Isabe!”


    +16 BONUS


    It was hert Do you understand? It was her he did all of those things! You see this? This is the good


    sister you’ve always defended!”


    Smack!


    All the hysteria quieted down at this moment.


    There was a buning pain in her face


    She had long lost any feelings after everything that happened.


    But when faced with Cedric’s escting intensity in this life and his extreme obsession with defending


    Christina…


    Natalie’s heart… uncontrobly cracked open a bit.


    Looking at Ceditc, at his anger and indifferent coldness, sheughed.


    It was a sarcasticugh.


    “She’s really such a wonderful sister, huh?!”
