    Reba never thought things woulde to this point today, but now, she was truly scared.


    She didn''t know what happened to Cedric before he disappeared.


    She didn''t know what he had endured!


    She had endured enough in her lifetime. She didn''t want Cedric to also endure such things in life!


    Reba was truly a pitiable person!


    Her husband left her world by dying back then.


    Now, her son left her world by disappearing.


    Reba didn''t know what happened in between, but she knew it wasn''t simple.


    But... was she even significant in their world?


    Why didn''t she know about such an important matter?


    No one told her!


    Or was it that she was nothing to them?


    "Even if you have nothing, you deserve it!" Natalie said harshly and turned to leave.


    As she reached the door, she added, "I don''t know where he is!"


    Reba fell silent. She instantly copsed under Natalie''s firm words, losing all her strength.


    Her eyes were hollow.


    She... deserved it...!


    What terrible things had she done? She just wanted her children to be okay, so why did she deserve


    this?


    And how could Natalie not know Cedric''s whereabouts?


    When Reba heard Natalie say that she didn''t know where Cedric was, her world copsed!


    She trembled all over.


    What should she do?


    Countless despair swept over her like this.


    Once... she had caused so much despair to Natalie. Now, it felt as if the despair had returned to


    envelope her.


    Even when she lost her husband, she had never felt such pain. But now, after listening to Natalie''s


    words...


    The pain was excruciating!


    "Why? Why...?" Reba muttered.


    Her eyes were hollow, as if she had lost her soul. -


    Natalie exited the building and headed straight for the main gate. Her phone was in her hand, and she


    was calling a driver from the Jarvis family to pick her up.


    However, before the person on the other end of the phone picked up, her hand was suddenly empty.


    Irwin''s chilling aura surrounded her, and Natalie turned around to see him hanging up the phone with a


    cold face.


    Then, the man looked at her. He was suppressing some emotion in his eyes, but Natalie tly met his


    eyes. She seemed not to care about his feelings at all.


    Irwin took a deep breath and said, "You can''t treat her like this!"


    Was he referring to Reba?


    Natalie was silent.


    Then, she smiled coldly!


    Irwin said she couldn''t treat Reba like this?


    Natalie raised her eyebrows. There was a question in her eyes, and she waited for Irwin to continue.


    Was Irwin behaving this way because of his rtionship with Cedric?


    "From what I''ve seen, you and Cedric didn''t have a good rtionship!"


    At least, not since they started fighting.


    But now, Irwin had even brought Reba over?


    And he said she couldn''t treat Reba like this?!


    "I never thought I''d ever hear such words from your mouth!"


    Natalie''s tone was cold.


    Irwin stood frozen in ce. At that moment, he came to an abrupt realization.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    Yes!


    In her mind, he and Cedric had always been arch-rivals. She didn''t even know the methods he had


    used to stay by her side this time.


    So, Natalie concluded that it was Irwin... who had driven Cedric out of Wexford.


    In their struggle, Irwin ultimately won!


    And that was how Irwin managed to remain by her side. But did Natalie have to ept it just because


    he wanted to stay?


    What does it mean to win?


    In matters of the heart, there was never a winner or loser!


    "Am I just a ruthless person in your eyes?"


    "Yes."


    Irwin fell silent.


    Natalie looked at him and added, "I just don''t understand what you''re doing now."


    She especially didn''t understand why he was treating Reba this way.


    She was thoroughly confused.


    Irwin remained silent.


    Her words suffocated him!


    As Natalie turned to leave, Irwin said, "Nat, I know you''ve been holding a grudge for a long time, but


    you really can''t treat her like that."


    She was Cedric''s mother, and Cedric was...!


    What Reba said was true. She had nothing left.


    "Hah...!"


    Though Natalie really couldn''t understand, every word Irwin said now was quite funny to her.


    What does he mean she couldn''t treat Reba like that?


    "So you''re saying that she can treat me the way she did?"


    "She has lost everything!"


    "That''s her own fault!"


    "You can''t say such things!" Irwin said, his tone turning stern.


    Natalie fell silent.


    She couldn''t say such things?


    How many times has it been today? How many times has Irwin emphasized this?


    But no matter why he emphasized it like this, none of this had anything to do with her.


    What caused Natalie to hold such a grudge?


    During the three years of her marriage to Cedric, her resentment slowly umted. She had endured


    so many grievances from Reba, but she could set aside most of them.


    But among those grievances, there were absolutely things Natalie couldn''t forgive.


    And now, she finally reached this point.


    After Natalie had expressed all her feelings, it was hard to suppress them all!


    Once, Natalie was so restrained. But now, she was so indifferent and cold!


    Seeing their painful expressions, Natalie didn''t even have a hint of sympathy in her heart. -


    Natalie left, and Irwin was helpless.


    Reba murmured in agony, "She doesn''t know? Even she doesn''t know?


    At this moment, Reba seemed to have lost all rationality! Her mind was only filled with Cedric, as if


    that name was all she had left in the world!


    Beforeing here, Natalie seemed to be the only lifeline Reba had. But after Natalie also said she


    didn''t know, Reba really didn''t know what to do.


    Truly... she didn''t know what to do!


    "Aunt." Irwin pulled Reba up.


    Reba looked at Irwin nkly.


    Irwin said, "I''ll help you find him!"


    Irwin would help her?


    Would he... really?


    How long had it been since anyone said they were willing to help her?


    It had been a long time!


    Since that person left, she had changed beyond recognition. Many people in the Verde City social circle


    said she was a woman who was hard to understand! And even if they interacted, those people were


    not sincere!


    Many gatherings were just about showing off.


    When she had lost everything and was helpless, those who used to tter her stayed far away. No one


    was willing to help her.


    This was the first time...!


    Since the Johnson family fell into ruin, this was the first time someone had offered to help her.
