Chapter 535 Tilted Situation
Luna was undeniably well–behaved. Heather had undoubtedly invested much effort in her upbringing,
and everyone in the household was fond of the child. Her sweet demeanor was particrly charming.
After breakfast, Clyde and Natalie went to the study. Both were obviously tensed.
“What’s your n moving forward?” Clyde finally voiced the question that lingered between them.
Indeed, what ns did Natalie have?
After witnessing so much, her perceptions and understanding of everything had drastically shifted.
It wasn’t merely a change.
Her entire worldview had been overturned.
Taking a deep breath, Natalie replied firmly, “I have my own arrangements.”
“Nat,” Clyde began.
“I want to handle this matter personally,” Natalie cut in with a heavy tone.
Yes.
She wanted to confront things head–on, whether it was concerning Irwin or Cedric.
A shadow of concern crossed Clyde’s eyes.
Natalie was too calm, and her demeanor only heightened the sense of impending danger!
Natalie met Clyde’s serious gaze and said, “Cly.”
“Yes?”
“Did you know about all of this before?”
Cedric had once warned her about Irwin’s true nature.
Following Clyde’s return to the Jarvis family, what had he said to her back then?
Clyde had told her that Cedric… wasn’t a good person.
Given the events that transpired, she realized none of these individuals were genuinely good.
However, the depth of deception and schemes behind their facades surprised her.

What kind of resilience and cunning did it take for someone to maintain such a facade for a decade?
She dared not contemte it.
Clyde shook his head and admitted, “I had no idea their feud was over a woman.”
He spoke the truth. While they had all been in Wexford around the same time, they had never truly
crossed paths.
Even if they had met, suspicions about each other’s identities would not have arisen because they
were unfamiliar with each other.
In addition, the conflict between them had always remained hidden, brewing silently beneath the
surface.
Clyde had never imagined that the enmity between Cedric and Irwin stemmed from a woman!
By the time Clyde became aware of their existence, Cedric and Irwin were already enemies.
This understanding made Clyde deeply concerned when he learned of Natalie’s involvement with both
Irwin and Cedric.
Two arch–enemies vying for the same woman?
The implications were clear that it didn’t bode well for Natalie.
“It seems they really cleaned up their mess back then,” Natalie remarked, taking a deep breath.
No matter how well they’d covered their tracks, the truth always had a way of surfacing.
Ten years…!
To have been deceived for a decade–what emotional turmoil must she be grappling with now?!
Everyone had their pride. Even when Natalie had nothing, she never took advantage of Cedric’s love
for her.
Seven years of enduring love!
During that time, she had never epted anything valuable from Cedric.
Looking back, it seemed bitterly ironic.
“Natalie,” Clyde began, his eyes filled with concern.
He had noticed the fleeting hurt in her eyes at her mention of the past. She was proud, especially when
it came to matters of the heart!N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
Yet, to realize now that her steadfastness and pride had been trampled upon was agonizing.

Clyde didn’t need to ask to know that Natalie was carrying an immense amount of pain.
“Cly.”
“Yes?”
“Is Frederick significant to you?” he asked.
“No,” Clyde replied curtly.
“In that case, I need to know exactly where Frederick is,” Natalie dered, each word dripping
with cold determination.
