    Chapter 270 Information About Bianca


    However, the man just silently watched her, saying nothing.


    Such silence almost drove Natalie mad. “What do you want?”


    “Dinner together?”


    “I have no time for that!”


    Natalie straightforwardly dismissed Cedric. Especially with his current attitude, Natalie felt an


    inexplicable panic, and the emotions of resistance and rejection became more apparent.


    Cedric looked at her. “I know about Bianca.”


    Natalie was speechless.


    Hearing this, she gazed at Cedric, and the chill in her eyes intensified.


    “Is she in your hands?”


    Bianca had disappeared from Simeria two years ago when Natalie returned.


    Since then, both Stephen and her had people searching for Bianca. However, no matter how they


    searched, they couldn’t find any trace of her.


    Could it be Cedric?


    “I’ve been in prison for the past two years. What do you think I could do?” Cedric said with mocking


    smile.


    It would have been better if he hadn’t mentioned prison. As soon as he mentioned it, Natalie’s inner


    turmoil became even more uncontroble. Especially with Cedric’s tone now, it seemed as if everything


    in prison was somehow her fault.


    In the end, Natalie got into the car.


    “Where to?” Natalie asked curtly.


    Undoubtedly, she got into the car because she heard Bianca’s name from Cedric’s mouth.


    Ten years had passed, and she didn’t know Cedric well.


    But Cedric knew Natalie.


    What made her even more uneasy was that Cedric, in a short period, knew everything that had


    happened to Natalie.


    Since I’m not familiar with Simeria, find a restaurant,” Cedric said.


    I eat at home.”


    “I’m hungry.” The man’s tone was not heavy, but it carried an invisible weight.


    Natalie felt irritated. She looked at Cedric suspiciously.


    “Do you really have information about Bianca?”


    Her tone contained both probing and warning elements. After all, news about Bianca was what she had


    been most concerned about these past two years, and neither her uncle nor the people on her side had


    any useful leads.


    Now, Cedric imed to have information about Bianca, and although Natalie held a skeptical attitude,


    she also carried hope.


    In the end, she started the car.


    Simeria’s tallest building housed an excellent revolving restaurant. The two sat in a window- side


    position, overlooking the night view of Simeria.


    It must be said that whether a city was prosperous or not could be easily seen from the highest point.


    The dazzling lights of thousands of households were a spectacle, but all Cedric could see in his eyes


    was bitterness.


    During the meal, Natalie ate without savoring the food.On the other hand, Cedric ate with elegance and


    tranquility.


    Two years seemed to have left many traces on him.


    He had changed.


    Even the air around him had changed!


    ng!


    When the meal ended, the man gently ced the knife and fork down. However, it still caused a slight


    sh with the utensils.


    Natalie also put down her wine ss and looked at Cedric. “Will you talk now?”


    Cedric looked at her impatient expression and smiled. “Your patience is limited now,


    especially toward me.”


    It was just one meal, yet her eyes were filled with restraint. It was a look she never had when she was


    with him before.


    Nad


    naturally cold eyes became even colder when she heard Cedric’s words. “Dinner is over. What else do


    you want?”


    the think he was someone special now?


    If it weren’t for Bianca, would she be sitting here with him?


    Cedric said, “Withdraw your people!”


    “What?” Natalie didn’t quite understand the man’s sudden words.


    His slender hand, gripping the wine ss, looked elegant from every angle.


    Cedric continued, “Withdraw your people from Verde City. Understand?”


    Natalie was silent.


    At this, a chill ran down her spine.


    He knew.


    He knew about her sending people to investigate him in Verde City.


    Just as Leon had said, even though Natalie had been by Cedric’s side for ten years, it seemed that she


    never truly understood or seen his true self!


    Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the heaviness in her heart. “Fine!”


    As long as she could get information about Bianca, whatever he said was fine.


    But when Cedric saw Natalie tightly clenching her fists, the smile in his eyes deepened. “It seems like


    you really wish you could kill me!”


    Natalie said, “How else do you think I should deal with


    you?


    She did want to kill him!


    When he did those outrageous things in Verde City, she had spent so much effort gathering evidence.


    It seemed that sometimes, one really couldn’t trust justice too much.


    If she had known that in just two short years, he could casuallye out of prison with such a lenient


    punishment, she might as well have hired an assassin to kill him directly!


    The more Natalie thought about it, the angrier she became.


    “Please tell me about Bianca, okay?” Her patience had run out, evident in the impatience reflected in


    her eyes.


    Looking at her frustrated appearance, Cedric’s smile grew even wider.


    Natalie wanted to strangle him with her own hands!


    with a swift movement, she stood up and shot Cedric a fierce re. At this point, she probably


    Ized that Cedric was just ying with her. A person should never reveal their


    forabilities:


    As Natalie walked away, Cedric’s smile disappeared from his face.


    He casually said, “Bianca’s situation is not looking too good.”


    She stopped in her tracks. Turning back, she asked sharply, “Is she really in your hands?”


    The words sounded icy. Their eyes met again, but in the fiery entanglement, Cedric could no longer


    see any trace of gentleness in Natalie’s eyes.


    She had truly changed.


    Was it because of the changes in her past life or her current status?


    After he said those words, he clearly saw Natalie’s coldness shattered and reced by a rising


    anger.


    Anger surged through her entire b*dy, as if it would burn both of them alive.


    “Cedric, don’t go too far!” Who did he think he was?


    The more he acted like this, the more Natalie was convinced that Bianca was in his hands.


    Anger caused Natalie to tremble uncontrobly. Cedric calmly wiped away the wine residue from the


    corner of his mouth with a napkin and then took a step toward her.


    He walked towards her calmly, exuding dominance, yet with a touch of tenderness unique to her.


    As he reached out his hand, Natalie instinctively took a step back, causing his hand to hang in

    the air.


    “Before, you never avoided it whenever I wanted to touch you!”


    With a crisp sound, a pnded on Cedric’s face.


    How many times had Natalie pped him now?


    Natalie said, “Please be a bit more self–aware and have some dignity, okay?”


    In the next moment, Cedric fiercely grabbed her wrist.


    His action caused Natalie’s petite face to contort in anger.
