    Chapter 540 Resentment


    Natalie’s tone was filled with indulgence.


    “Look at you. You’re all covered in sand. Where were you ying?”


    “In the sandbox! Mommy, do you want toe?” Luna said to Natalie, showcasing how much of a


    paradise that ce was for the child.


    Heather doted on Laina immensely. After Luna returned to Simeria, the backyard of Lotus Vi was


    gradually transformed. It was now filled entirely with yground equipment for the child.


    Essentially, anything avable outside could be found here. And the sandbox was Luna’s favorite.


    “Mommy has some matters to attend to now. Once I’m free, I’lle and y with you, okay? “Natalie


    gently said.


    Luna nodded. She wriggled out of Natalie’s arms and then ran off on her tiny legs.


    Natalie’s heart softened as she watched Luna’s petite figure. She couldn’t deny that at one point, she


    had prioritized avoiding Cedricpletely for Luna’s sake. Natalie had done it despite the


    overwhelming hatred she had felt toward Cedric


    However, now…!


    thoroughly


    Since he had intended to hurt Luna to use her to save Ka, Natalie’s heart wa shaken. All her pent–


    up emotions were overturned, and her tolerance for Cedric reached its limit.


    She couldn’t bear it any longer!


    Just then, her phone vibrated.


    Natalie nced at the iing call.


    It was Cedric’s.


    She smirked coldly and picked up. “Hello.”


    “Must it really be this way?” The voice on the other end of the call was hoarse.


    Being forced to deal with the Schneider family already put Cedric in a dire situation. And now, Casey


    had discovered that Frederick was in Cedric’s bands!

    Natalie sensed the implication in Cedric’s words, and her eyes were devoid of warmth.


    She replied coldly, “This is what you brought upon yourself.”

    Indeed!


    In Natalie’s opinion, hadn’t Cedric brought this upon himself?


    “Stop it. Wexford isn’t as simple as you think,” he said.


    Stop?


    Now, he was asking her to stop?!


    Once, she was as pliable in his hands as y. He had manipted her at will.


    Even a dead carcass on the chopping board had a better fate than Natalie.


    Without waiting for her response, Cedric continued, “Nat, I never wanted to drag you into Wexford’s


    mess.”

    “Can we put an end to all of this?”


    It wasn’t as simple as she thought, nor as straightforward as she perceived.


    Cedric knew that everything Natalie was doing now was her way of retaliating against him.


    Enough!


    It was enough.


    If things went be would be her.

    “No!” Natalie replied with a chilling firmness.


    Stop? He made it sound so simple!


    Had he ever stopped before?


    “Did


    you ever think of stopping the harm you inflicted on me for Isabe’s sake? Did you ever consider not


    throwing me into prison?”


    No, he hadn’t then, had he?


    “Did you think of stopping when you were about to use Luna to save Ka?”


    The tone in Natalie’s voice was more than just cold.


    It was icy.


    On the other end of the phone, Cedric tensed up instantly.


    She hated him…. yes, she did!


    And it was precisely because of this hatred that Natalie had lost all semnce of reason now.
