    Chapter 352 What Right Do You Have to me Me?


    In the dining room, only Natalie and Cedric remained.


    Natalie fixed her gaze on the man across from her, attempting to discern his expression.


    However, at this moment, she couldn’t see anything clearly. The only thing she sensed was the chilling


    aura emanating from him.


    Click!


    The sound of a lighter echoed, followed by the strong smell of gasoline. Natalie narrowed her eyes, her


    face turning momentarily pale.


    She had always known Cedric liked using this type of lighter. In this eerie silence, the sound reminded


    her


    of her memories from her previous life.


    The scent of gasoline… was herst memory of Cedric before the raging fire consumed her.


    Cedric took two deep puffs and said, “She knows nothing.”


    He was clearly referring to Ka.


    “Knows nothing about what?”


    “From what she can remember, she has never seen Isabe. She has always been under Irwin’s


    control.”


    Natalie was silent.


    Irwin?!


    It was as if Cedric had mentioned Irwin deliberately, and Natalie felt ufortable when she heard


    Irwin’s name. It felt like a reminder of her past foolishness.


    “Are you trying to unt your power over me?” Natalie sneered.


    Why did Irwin enter her life?


    It was because of the man before her!


    Cedric’s eyes turn colder.


    “Natalie.”


    “Neither you nor him are any good. Don’t push all the me onto him!”


    “You


    Cedric swallowed the words that had been on the tip of his tongue.


    His expression changed from cold and rigid to somewhat gentle, and his l*ps curled up in a bitter smile.


    “You’re right. I’m not a good person, just like him. We’re both no good!”


    If they had to talk about the harm caused by the people around her, Cedric had inflicted the most on


    her.


    “Do you know where Bianca is?” Natalie asked.


    She didn’t want to discuss Irwin anymore. From an unknown point in time, she had be indifferent


    to


    matters of the heart.


    Upon discovering Irwin’s deceit, she simply acknowledged it and showedplete indifference.


    “Has Lucas told you?”


    “Are you trying to threaten me with Bianca again?”


    Bianca…


    Malcolm had used her to threaten Natalie. Irwin had done the same, and now… Cedric continued the


    pattern.


    These people… Hah!


    Cedric’s presence became more intimidating.


    I


    “I don’t know when it started, but it seems I can only keep you by my side by resorting to threats.”


    Yes, in the past, it wasn’t like this….


    However, why exactly?


    In Cedric’s heart, it was as clear as day.


    “You keep talking about keeping me by your side. Do you know it’s like listening to a bad joke?” Natalie


    said as she examined her exquisite nails.


    On the way here, she had actually tried to contact Bianca in the car. However, her phone had been


    turned


    off, Just like Leon’s.


    That proved that Lucas had spoken the truth.


    In Ka’s heart, you’ve always been a motherly figure, Cedric suddenly said.


    As Natalie examined her nails, she paused for a moment. When she looked at Cedric, her gaze


    became.


    even sharper.


    ‘She’s only ten! Do you know what she felt when you threw her into the orphanage? She sees you as


    her mother! It made her feel as if you didn’t want her!” Cedric eximed.


    As Cedric finished speaking, Natalie’s expression became colder.


    As far as Ka could remember, Isabe had never seen her.


    In other words, Ka considered Natalie her mother?!


    “Cedric, are you an idiot?” Natalie could no longer tolerate it.


    Cedric was silent.


    “I’m a motherly figure to her? Why?!”


    Why?


    Was that really what the child thought?


    “Nat, she’s just a child, and what we’re discussing now-” Cedric began, but Natalie cut off his words.


    ‘Discussing? Is this a discussion? You’ve brought me here clearly just to use me!”


    Indeed, it wasn’t a discussion.


    It was an usation.


    From the beginning, she was used of being a certain kind of presence in the child’s heart, and then


    the


    issue of the orphanage.


    If this wasn’t an usation, then what was it?


    “What right do you have to me me?” Natalie stood up, turning around to leave.


    Cedric remained seated.


    He felt cold.


    Yes, Natalie was right.


    He had no right to me her,


    As Natalie reached the door, she stopped and turned around.


    Cedric, let me remind you once again, we’re divorced!”


    “So, no matter what wrong choices I make, it’s my own problem. It has nothing to do with you!”


    How she had handled Ka was an example.


    He thought she shouldn’t have put Ka in the orphanage? He thought she was too cruel to a child?


    What right did he have to say such things about her?


    Just because of his rtionship with Isabe?


    Just as Natalie took another step, Cedric spoke up with a voice filled with restraint, “Do you know what


    Isabe did for you?”


    Natalie was silent.


    Isabe did something for her?


    Before she could retort, Cedric continued, “She’s dead. You can’t treat her child like this.”


    The heavy footsteps of the man echoed behind her.


    Without waiting for Natalie’s reaction, he pulled her into his arms. His warm fingertips gently rubbed


    against her eyes, a force that carried tenderness and heartache.


    In her previous life, Natalie had lost her sight!


    And in this life, she also suffered harm.


    “You don’t know anything, Nat… You’re not a cruel person. Don’t treat that child like this in the future,


    okay?


    He knew what kind of pain she endured in her previous life, and he witnessed how Isabe was willing


    to


    sacrifice her life to save her.


    “You don’t have to forgive her, but you can’t be so cruel to her child!”


    At this moment, the man’s tone was filled with heartache, even carrying a seductive kind of gentleness.


    He tightened his grip around her.

    “She doesn’t know anything, and she’s only ten!” Cedric said.


    From his position, he couldn’t see the emotions surging in Natalie’s eyes. The hatred overwhelmed her,


    Then, she left without sparing him another nce.


    Cedric stood in ce, feeling an icy chill all over as he watched her leave.


    Ka came down in a white nightgown and saw Cedric standing there with a lonely expression.


    Quietly descending the stairs, she came to the man’s side and tugged at hisrge, calloused hand.


    Cedric snapped back to reality, looking down at the little girl beside him.


    “Ka.”


    “Mommy doesn’t like me.”


    There was a hint of grievance in Ka’s tone.


    Yes, Natalie didn’t like her!


    Since she came to Natalie’s side, all she felt was Natalie treated her like a mortal enemy.


    After finding out that Ka was Isabe’s daughter, Natalie rarely saw her. Then, the final decision was


    to


    send Ka directly to the orphanage.


    Such a cruel decision would undoubtedly leave deep shadows in a child’s heart.


    “She will like you,” Cedric said as he crouched down, soothingly rubbing Ka’s head.
