    Chapter 477 We Aren’t That Close


    “What did Clyde’s people find out?”


    Cedric’s tone was far from pleasant.


    As Dn had mentioned, the one who was most worried right now… was Cedric!


    Undoubtedly, Clyde’s people were formidable.


    Whether it was Cedric or Irwin, neither had a favorable rtionship with Clyde. Given this history, any


    discoveries by Clyde’s people would undoubtedly reach Natalie’s ears!


    And now, Irwin had even withdrawn his people from obstructing the investigation…!


    “It’s hard to say for sure, but Madam is aware that you and Mr. Frazier were interfering in their


    investigation. It’s inevitable,” Lucas replied.


    It was only a matter of time before Clyde’s people had discovered it, after all.


    After hearing that, Cedric’s demeanor grew even colder. “So, she undoubtedly knows now.”


    “Yes, sir,” Lucas affirmed.


    Cedric fell silent, taking several drags from his cigarette. The study was now veiled in a thick haze, an


    embodiment of the oppressive atmosphere surrounding him.


    “Who is by her side now?”


    He was asking about who Clyde had assigned to assist Natalie. Most of Clyde’s people were familiar


    faces to both Cedric and Irwin. They had their share of history and understanding.


    Without missing a beat, Lucas responded, “Daphne Turner!”


    Cedric’s expression tightened.


    Daphne Turner!


    When he heard the name, his headache intensified.


    It can be said that she was the toughest nut to crack among all of Clyde’s people.


    There was a time when someone approached Daphne because of Clyde. That person had faced


    numerous setbacks because of that.


    Unexpectedly, Clyde had actually assigned Daphne to Natalie…!

    “And there’s something else,” Lucas interjected before Cedric could respond, his gaze growing even


    more


    serious.


    Undoubtedly, for Cedric, the headache wasn’t just stemming from Natalie’s actions but from another


    individual entirely.


    It was another person as vital to him as Natalie.


    “What is it?”


    His tone betrayed impatience.


    Lucas replied, “There’s news from the hospital. The surgery on Miss Ka went well. Barring any


    Ka’s surgery had been sessful.


    Undoubtedly, this was good news for Cedric. After hearing it, his hardened demeanor softened ever so


    slightly.


    That night, sleep eluded many.

    By the next morning, Natalie still appeared weary. At breakfast, Irwin noticed herckluster appetite.


    Frowning, he asked, “Are they still not to your liking?”


    Undoubtedly, Natalie’s appetite had been off since she arrived at Wexford.


    Natalie responded curtly, “Just eat your meal and leave me be.”


    Though she made no mention of the events from the previous night, Irwin recognized the depth of her


    unpredictable nature.


    However, as the meal progressed and Irwin watched Natalie delicately sipping her soup, he couldn’t


    resist


    intervening.


    He reached out and took her bowl to take a sip.


    The atmosphere in the dining hall immediately turned tense!


    Everyone gasped silently. They all saw it…! Just a moment ago, their master had drunk from Natalie’s


    bowl!

    Natalie’s expression darkened instantly. “What are you doing?”


    Her tone wasced with irritation. Over the years, only Cedric had dared to eat from her leftovers!


    No other man had ever shown such audacity.


    Yet, Irwin had…!


    Irwin nonchntly ced the bowl back in front of her.


    “I thought there might be something wrong with the soup. It’s well–made. Why aren’t you eating?”
