    Chapter 486 I Refuse to Admit


    Natalie’s l*ps curled into a smile.

    But obviously… from the smile on her face, Irwin could tell things were far from being as simple as she


    imed.


    Dissolve the engagement with her?


    Ever since the Jarvis family announced her identity, so many people from Simeria had stepped over the


    threshold of the Jarvis family.


    It was clear that if Irwin were to announce this news, what awaited them was…!


    “It hurts!”


    Irwin suddenly pinched her cheek, looking exasperated like he was dealing with a child. Tears welled


    up in Natalie’s eyes from the pain.


    “So, you know that it hurts, huh?” Irwin said.


    “of


    “Of course I do!” Natalie shot back.


    She red at Irwin resentfully.


    The tense atmosphere that was present moments ago eased instantly with Irwin’s action.


    However, this relief was short–lived.


    Irwin’s expression turned serious. “Nat, I know you hate him and me,


    but….!”


    At this point, Irwin paused. He had to admit that Natalie genuinely despised Cedric. From the moment


    she arrived in Wexford, she had already prepared a grand “gift” for him.


    Natalie looked at Irwin, her mischievous gaze disappearing in an instant.


    In its ce, she radiated coldness and severity!


    Irwin took a moment to study at her.


    “Wexford isn’t as simple as you think. When you first arrived, you knew nothing and couldn’t see


    clearly!” he remarked.


    “Like those years I was beside Cedric?” Natalie sneered sarcastically.


    Back then, wasn’t it the same? She was oblivious and clueless about everything.


    For the first time, Irwin fell silent when it came to Cedric and their decade–long rtionship.


    Undoubtedly, no matter what Cedric’s intentions were when he approached Natalie, he had never


    involved her with Wexford.

    But Irwin… was different.


    The atmosphere inside the car grew even heavier at that moment.


    As they disembarked at the manor, neither Irwin nor Natalie exchanged words. The atmosphere


    between them was palpably different.


    Dn arrived.


    Seeing Irwin return, he approached with a grave expression. “Sir.”


    He cast an instinctual nce at Natalie, and she huffed coldly, “I’m going to rest.”


    With that, she departed. After she was gone, Irwin frowned, ncing at Dn with a hint of displeasure


    in his eyes.


    Ever since Natalie arrived in Wexford, Irwin’s emotions have been vtile, even though she was by his


    side.


    After all, Natalie had changed, and this transformation was something he had indirectly facilitated.


    When her ten years with Cedric was brought up in the car, Irwin had to admit…


    Whether Natalie had been happy or not by Cedric’s side, Cedric had never dragged her into the mess


    in Wexford. This act of keeping her out was the greatest protection for her. To say Cedric had no


    feelings for her would be a lie.


    It was clear that Natalie held a significant ce in his heart.


    Yet, Irwin had pulled her into this quagmire.


    And now, Natalie wasn’t the only one who had changed….


    Irwin had also changed so much!


    “Just spit it out. What is it?” Irwin demanded.


    Dn replied, “Casey has found out.”


    At Dn’s words, Irwin’s face stiffened.


    Without a doubt, Clyde’s people were indeed resourceful! Over the years, it had always been the same!


    Whenever someone from Clyde’s circle intervened, the truth, sooner orter, would be


    unearthed.
