    Irwin had actually...!


    Natalie turned abruptly and headed straight for the door, but suddenly...


    Thud!


    The sound of someone''s knees hitting the marble floor heavily, apanied by Irwin''s somewhat stern


    voice, rang out.


    "Nat!"


    Natalie paused in her tracks.


    Her whole body was trembling.


    Her expression was stormy, and the veins on her hands were visible from how hard she clenched her


    fists.


    It was clear how much she hated the person inside the room, or rather, this hatred arose because of

    Cedric and Irwin.


    It was such an overwhelming hatred that it sank deep into her bones... and her very soul!


    After a moment, Natalie finally managed to suppress the anger in her heart slightly. She nced


    sideways, and her delicate profile looked so cold and dangerous.


    Yes, dangerous!


    Natalie said tly, "You wanted me to meet her?"


    Her... Reba!


    Irwin fell silent.


    At this moment, every word Natalie spoke seemed to radiate with danger.


    Reba choked out, "It was me!"


    Regardless of how Reba had left Lotus Vi or how angry she had been, she realized something


    when she finally saw Natalie in person.


    Natalie had be such a proud woman!


    Or rather, she was born proud.


    That was why Natalie always seemed indifferent during the years with the Johnson family, no matter


    what Reba said to her.


    At that time, everyone said that her daughter-inw was very obedient. She would always do whatever


    Reba asked of her.


    Even when there were banquets at the Johnson Manor, Natalie woulde over to help. She wasn''t


    as delicate as those other wealthy daughters-inw.


    She even went to the kitchen to help!


    But Reba knew that Natalie didn''t do all of those things because she respected her. Natalie only did


    it for Cedric''s sake.


    At first, she was still trying to please Cedric''s family.


    However, after a long time, she even couldn''t be bothered to talk to Reba!


    If Cedric wasn''t there, Natalie wouldn''t even bother going to the Johnson Manor.


    She had always known...!


    Natalie always seemed like she was being surpressed, but she was actually filled with pride and


    determination.


    And now, Reba understood!


    Natalie was born with pride and determination. She would have done anything for Cedric then.


    She used to be such apromising person. Now, she was equally decisive.


    "I wanted to see you!" Reba said.


    Yes, she was the one who insisted on seeing Natalie.


    "You?"


    "Yes. Don''t me him for this!"


    "Then, how did you get here?"


    How did she get here?


    Natalie turned around, looking at Reba sarcastically.


    Just one nce made it hard for Reba to breathe!


    How did she get here?


    Reba looked at Irwin nkly. She was obviously not too clear about the rtionship between Irwin


    and Cedric.


    She didn''t know their rtionship! When she came out of Lotus Vi in despair, Dn had brought her


    here.


    Back in Verde City, Irwin and Cedric had always been at odds.


    However, Irwin treated her with courtesy when she arrived here and knew she wanted to see Natalie.


    He even...


    But why?


    Natalie sneered. "Don''t kneel like this, I can''t afford it!"


    With that, she turned around.


    Back when Natalie was with the Johnson family, she never thought Reba would kneel to her, even if


    she hated her to the extreme!


    Yes...!


    Natalie hated her...!


    Those venomous words Reba had uttered still echoed in her ears to this day. Reba had cruelly


    killed her child...!


    Yet, Reba told others that Natalie and Cedric had been married for three years and hadn''t even had


    a child!


    In fact, such venomous words were nothing.


    But just the thought that Natalie had lost her child because Reba had tampered with her pregnancy


    medicine...


    That was the most unbearable thing for Natalie.


    How could she endure it?


    No one knew...!


    Natalie had been looking forward to having a child so much then!


    When she found out that the child''s own grandmother had gotten rid of them...


    That was the first time Natalie had felt such hate!


    From that moment on, she stopped trying to please Reba. All thepromises she made for Cedric


    before were also gone.


    Every time she went to the Johnson Manor after that, it was only because of Cedric. Even if she went,


    she rarely paid attention to Reba.


    Why was Reba kneeling before her now?


    Was it because she was trying to atone for her sins of killing Natalie''s child?


    If so, Reba should kneel!


    However, Natalie knew that wasn''t the reason.


    People like Reba would never know what remorse was.


    Reba was practically crawling on the ground. "Natalie, do you know where he is!?"


    "Tell me! I just need to know where he is!"


    Reba''s tone was somewhat hoarse.


    She had exhausted all her options of finding Cedric. When her people couldn''t find Cedric, the only


    person she thought of was Natalie.


    After all...


    After all, what?


    They had been together for so many years?


    But if Reba hadn''t been involved, Cedric and Natalie would have been fine for the rest of their lives.


    However, in the end...


    "Given how things are between him and me, why would you think I''d know where he is?!" Natalie


    replied sarcastically.


    Reba trembled violently after hearing Natalie''s words.


    Would Natalie really know Cedric''s whereabouts?


    If it was in the past when they still had feelings for each other, then Natalie might have known where


    Cedric had gone.


    But things were different now, very different!


    She might really not know where Cedric was now.


    With this thought in mind, Reba''s heart sank.


    "No... You must know!" Reba trembled as she looked at Natalie.


    She was afraid.


    At this moment, Reba was truly afraid. She was afraid that Natalie didn''t know... afraid that Natalie


    knew nothing!


    If even Natalie didn''t know where Cedric had gone, then... who else in this world would know?


    She was really going crazy!


    Natalie fell silent.


    As she listened to Reba''s hysterical tone, her eyes were filled with a coldness. She waspletely


    indifferent to Reba''s desperation!


    Natalie never expected that she would be this emotionless one day. However, she truly felt nothing.


    "Natalie, I beg you, tell me where he is! I really have nothing left..." Reba pleaded.


    Reba had finally managed to let go of everything and decided to live out her old age peacefully. She


    had decided to no longer meddle in Cedric''s affairs but never expected to receive such news.


    "I really have nothing left... nothing at all!" Reba said bitterly.


    As long as she knew where her child was, it would be fine even if she grew old alone.


    If this was truly a punishment from God, then... she would ept this punishment, but she had to know


    where he was.


    What happened to him? Why did he give everything to Irwin? Why did he want nothing at all?!


    What exactly happened in this period?!
