    Chapter 263 Irrelevant?


    Karina was waiting in the lobby when Natalie entered Regal Horizons International. She rushed forward


    with a worried look when she saw Natalie enter the building.


    She scrutinized Natalie, and when she noticed the tear in Natalie’s shirt, her heart couldn’t help but skip


    a beat.


    “How could he treat you like this?” Karina said softly in a voice filled with anger.


    While speaking, she took off her own coat to help cover Natalie. Appearing in thepany this would


    surely undermine the trust of the employees.


    “It’s nothing,” Natalie replied, returning Karina’s coat before nonchntly entering the


    elevator.


    like


    The tear in her shirt shocked the employees, but her cold demeanor made them hesitant to say


    anything about it.


    In the elevator, Karina nervously observed Natalie. Clearly, Natalie’s aura had be colder


    since her return.


    From what Karina could tell… did the two of them have another conflict?


    “Have you arranged the meeting?” Natalie asked Karina suddenly, startling thetter.


    She quickly nodded, “Yes, it’s all arranged.”


    Ding!


    The elevator opened. Natalie stepped out and headed straight to her office. The people in the special


    assistant department were astonished when they saw her condition.


    However, when they felt the coldness and sharpness in her gaze, they quickly lowered their heads and


    got back to work.


    Natalie went directly to her office, where she had spare clothes.


    After changing, she picked up the phone to make a call to Lotus Vi. However, her mobile phone rang


    at that moment, disying Stephen’s number.


    Setting down thendline, she answered the call, ‘Uncle.”


    Lheard Cedric is here?” Stephen’s tone sounded concerned, not angry.


    Yes, I’ve met him,” Natalie replied.


    Nat


    incle, please make the arrangments for me. I don’t want him to know.” Natalie said with a


    In the end, he hade.


    When she made that decision back then, she knew that this day woulde sooner orter. Two years


    were slower than expected. Even though she was mentally prepared, facing it in reality still made her


    tense.


    Stephen seemed to have anticipated this as well.


    A lot has happened in these two years.


    Cedric had suddenly appeared and met with Natalie. There were certain things happening with Natalie


    that she naturally didn’t want Cedric to know about.


    “Don’t worry. As soon as we received news of him appearing in Simeria, I had someone. arrange for


    him to be sent away,” Stephen said.


    Natalie frowned, “When did he arrive?”


    “As soon as hended, he came to find you.”


    “It seems he really had no idea you were still alive these past two years.”


    “Got it.”


    Natalie didn’t want to discuss this topic. She had lived freely and openly these two years. She hadn’t


    intentionally hidden anything. In other words, she lived in the public eye for the entire two years, and it


    was surprising that no one around Cedric knew she was alive.


    “Nat.”


    Just as Natalie was about to hang up the phone, Stephen stopped her. He hesitated as if wanting to


    say something.


    “What’s wrong?” Natalie asked.


    “Cedric had nothing to do with what happened to Winnie.”


    What? Nothing to do?


    “Are you talking about Joshua’s situation?”


    Natalie’s heart skipped a beat.


    Obviously, Stephen’s sudden statement shocked her.


    Two years ago, Cedric had harmed people around her because of Christina and Isabe, even


    The harm he had inflicted on Winona was the guilt she couldn’t shake off for two years.


    However, now Stephen said… Joshua’s situation had nothing to do with Cedric?


    Stephen replied, “Yes.”


    “Then…”


    “Alright, I have other matters to attend to. I’ll hang up first.”


    It seemed Stephen was only willing to say this much about Winona’s situation. Without waiting for


    Natalie’s reaction, he hung up the phone.


    phone……


    For these two years, it had always been like this.


    Stephen and Heather had been avoiding the topic of what happened to Winona and Joshua two years


    ago. Just like now, when Stephen said Joshua’s situation had nothing to do with Cedric, he said


    nothing else and was deliberately evading the topic.


    He was only willing to say this much, and… he didn’t want to say anything more than that.


    Listening to the dial tone on the phone, Natalie stood still and felt a bit numb all over.


    Joshua’s situation had nothing to do with Cedric?


    How was that possible?!


    If Cedric really wasn’t involved in it, then…!


    Natalie’s expression changed. The cold in her mind turned into chaos for a moment before she


    regainedposure.


    She took a deep breath and closed her eyes to conceal the turmoil within.


    It didn’t matter if it was unrted to him.


    Even if Winona’s situation had nothing to do with Cedric, he was still a heinous person. Even If it wasn’t


    rted to him, what about the eastern suburbs, Sylvan Gems, and even… her two


    lifetimes?


    Thinking about these, Stephen’s words on the phone became trivial.


    Leon arrived. When he saw the look on Natalie’s face, he asked in concern, “Are you okay?”


    “You’ve been following me just now?” Natalie asked.


    “Yes” Leon nodded.


    Natalie had to admit that Leon was a verypetent b*dyguard. Even though he didn’t


    ctly intercept Cedric, he followed her when Cedric took her away. Leon was afraid that


    That was why Leon appeared before her shortly after she arrived at thepany. He had arrived not


    long after her.


    Natalie sighed. “I’m fine.”


    “Then…” Leon trailed off.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    “Find out how he got out of prison!” Natalie ordered.


    Two years ago, Cedric was heavily punished. After seeing his deserved fate, Natalie didn’t inquire


    about the situation in Verde City anymore.


    Therefore, she hadn’t paid attention to what happened there in the past two years.


    However, the fact that Cedric, who was punished severely, appeared in Simeria now raised many


    questions.


    Was her perception of justice just a fantasy?


    Thinking of this possibility, the coldness in Natalie’s eyes deepened.


    “Yes, ma’am.” Leon nodded, turning to leave.


    But just as he reached the door, Natalie stopped him. “Is there any news on Bia?”


    Bianca Sanders!


    In these two years, no matter how busy she was, she would always have her people look for


    Bianca’s whereabouts.


    At that time, she sent Bianca from Verde City to Simeria, fearing that Cedric might involve


    Bianca.


    However, Bianca had disappeared inexplicably, and even her whereabouts were unknown.


    “There are some clues, but I need to confirm thern,” Leon said.


    Natalie nodded. “Go ahead.”


    “Yes, ma’am.”


    Hopefully, Bianca was safe.
