    Chapter 478 What Are You Up To?


    Natalie said sharply, “You…!”


    “I went to great lengths to make sure you would eat well, Nat,” the man’s tone remained gentle.


    Natalie’s rising anger felt like there was no ce to vent her anger, which made her even more upset.


    “Eat more, okay?” he coaxed, looking at her gently.


    “Why should I eat after you’ve already drunk from my bowl?” Natalie retorted, pushing the bowl aside.


    The atmosphere froze instantly.


    Every gaze directed at Natalie heldplexity. Was she rejecting their esteemed master?


    The stares made Natalie frustrated.


    She sternly told Irwin, “Don’t do things that can cause misunderstandings. We aren’t that close.”


    With that, she left the spoon in the bowl on the table and stood up.


    Behind her, Irwin chuckled softly.


    It was evident that Irwin had done it on purpose!


    These days, Natalie had been too dull. So, teasing her like this seemed like a good idea.


    After breakfast, Irwin departed. Natalie knew she had thrown a bombshell into the Wexford, and the


    aftermath was evident.


    Later in the morning, Dn arrived carrying an exquisite gift box.


    “Miss, this is from Mr. Frazier. He said you’re to apany him to a banquet tonight.”


    “I’m not going,” Natalie replied promptly.


    She had no interest in such events.


    Her blunt refusal left Dn momentarily stunned.


    Then, a knowing smile crept onto his face. “Miss, don’t forget why you’re here in the first ce. By the


    way, Miss Ka will be discharged in a week. That man is preparing everything for her.”


    “You cunning fox!” Natalie red at Dn as she grinded her teeth.

    “The banquet tonight is essential for Mr. Frazier. Prepare well,” Dn advised.

    With that said, he departed before she could retort.


    Natalie eyed the gift box. When Dn reminded her about Ka, he was actually reminding her…


    about the very reason Natalie hade to Wexford.


    It was also a reminder of her identity and role when she came to Wexford.


    Her eyes dimmed at the thought. Finally, she opened the gift box to reveal a splendid sapphire–blue


    gown. The dress exuded an aura of grandeur.


    Her slender fingers brushed over the fabric, feeling its icy touch.


    Irwin often appeared reserved, but it seemed that he had a penchant for extravagant items. Every gift


    he gave carried an aura of luxury. Such extravagance was in stark contrast to his otherwise


    understated


    demeanor.


    The phone buzzed loudly, interrupting her thoughts. cing the gown aside, Natalie nced at the


    screen.


    It was a call from Cedric.


    She answered in an icy voice, “Hello.”


    “Come out!”


    His words were curt, devoid of any warmth.


    Natalie nced out of the French windows subconsciously, noting that it was raining again! She was


    already feeling gloomy, which only intensified due to the relentless downpour.


    “I have no desire to see you!” Natalie responded, her tone eerily calm despite the evident tension in


    Cedric’s voice.


    Natalie had asked Clyde’s people to look into things in such a grand manner. But when Cedric took the


    initiative to contact her, she remained calm as if her investigation had nothing to do with him.


    Yet, this calm exterior was covering up a turbulent wave that was beyond any of their imagination!
