    Chapter 534, A Despicable Existence


    “Yes, that’s at least what Nat discovered,” Bianca responded.


    Zane fell silent.


    The implications of such information painted a clear picture. The turmoil in Natalie’s heart. was now


    easily imaginable.


    nca’s past confusion and unanswered questions had suddenly be painfully


    Vident.


    nca took a deep breath and remarked, “Cedric and Irwin truly went too far.‘


    Indeed, that was not all.


    nca had always been puzzled for the past decade. Cedric seemed so fond of Natalie, yet her


    demeanor deteriorated drastically whenever she was around him.


    Now that the truth hade to light, the reality was torturous toprehend.


    How could Cedric have done that to Natalie?!


    With an understanding tone, Zane said, “Ten years is a long time, and it might not be just about one


    person.”


    “Isn’t it?” Bianca responded.


    “Ten years… It’s too lengthy a period.”


    If Natalie was merely a substitute, then what was with all the things that had happened?!All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    But nca’s perspective was different.


    Cedric had harmed Natalie gravely for Isabe’s sake, and though Irwin treated Natalie well, he never


    showed intentions of marrying her.


    Indeed, if his feelings were


    he, he would have pursued marriage with Natalie during their


    years in Simeria, if not in Verde City.


    But Irwin never pressed on the inatter. Initially, this respect seemed noble, but everything looked


    different with the hidden motives unveiled.


    Irwin was rational, more so than Cedric. He understood that Natalie wasn’t ir and,


    therefore, never entertained the thought of marrying her.


    “Yes, ten years is indeed too long! Even as a substitute, one should be seen clearly. This is why Cedric


    could harm Nat without a second thought,” Bianca said.


    Whether it was when Isabe or Ka was involved, the underlying reason for everything remained the


    same.

    Natalie wasn’t the most cherished individual in their hearts. That was why Cedric hurt her the way he


    did.


    Zane furrowed his brows deeply. The chill in his eyes intensified at the realization.


    Indeed, Bianca’s analysis was sharp and painfully urate.


    Because there was ack of genuine affection and the fact that Natalie was only a substitute to them…


    that such reckless harm could be inflicted on her!


    Meanwhile, Natalie had promptly returned to Lotus Vi after regaining consciousness.


    Upon seeing her return, Heather was visibly relieved. Yet beneath Natalie’s seemingly calm. exterior,


    Heather knew an underlying wild aura was concealed.


    Clyde, too, was keenly aware of this unsettling atmosphere around Natalie.


    During breakfast, Natalie delicately fed Luna.


    With Stephen absent, Heather voiced her frustration, “How could he have the audacity to send


    someone to fetch the child!”


    Heather was visibly outraged when discussing Cedric’s actions during Natalie’s absence!


    “Wanting to take Luna to Wexford… What else could he possibly be nning besides threatening you


    with her?”


    Heather’s rity on the matter was unmistakable.


    She knew Cedric had tried to take Luna away just so he could use the child to threaten Natalie.


    With such knowledge, Heather was all the more determined not to let Cedric take Luna away.


    Observing Heather’s incessantints, Natalie took a deep breath and said, “Enough, Mom, let’s


    not dwell on it.”


    Evidently, Natalie preferred not to discuss Cedric at all now.


    Who would have thought that in her world, Cedric would be perceived as such a despicable entity- a


    presence that was utterly loathsome?!
