Chapter 780 Had to Leave It was a grudge between Cedric and Irwin, and Natalie hadn''t been loved.
Instead, she was unwillingly dragged into a retaliatory game involving them.
From this point of view, it wasn''t surprising that Natalie was unable to forgive them.
"She deserved it!" Reba said.
When Natalie was mentioned, Reba spoke in a chilly tone, which also carried a cold and sinister edge.
"Back then, I didn''t approve of their rtionship at all. But she was headstrong and determined to be with Ced!" Reba eximed with intensity.
Calvin frowned at her words. Clearly, he hadn''t expected that even upon hearing these things, Reba would | not have an ounce of pity for Natalie.
She only felt a great deal of pity for Christina.
That was the difference between people.
"Let''s go." Calvin didn''t want to continue this topic any longer.
After all, Reba should now thoroughly understand the situation.
When Calvin said that, Reba felt her heart bleed more.
"How can I leave?" Every time the topic of leaving arose, it
felt heavy. Christina was taken away before her eyes.
Just like in the past, Reba was still so powerless. Back when Cedric was around, Reba had been the same.
Now that she was alone, she was even more powerless. She had made the wrong choices again! The Entes family were utterly unreliable people.
"Lord Icarus doesn''t care about us now, and as for the Lord Austin..." Calvin didn''t finish his sentence, but Reba probably knew what it meant.
Yes. Icarus initially just wanted to use Christina to force Natalie to be with
him, but now...
Austin had already announced his engagement with Natalie, so Icarus had no chance left.
Christina was of no value to Icarus except for stimting Natalie through arguments, which was the situation he least desired.
"Hah... Let''s go." In the end, they had to leave.
Their momentary triumph was just a fleeting moment for them.
Calvin nodded. These days could be considered theirst stand in Simeria, and now their final reliance hadpletely dissipated.
So, what was the point of staying here any longer?
There was no need to stay anymore! "Natalie is truly the bane of the Johnson family," Reba said with anguish.
What else could she be but that? Everyone in the Johnson family had reached a dead end because of her, and they could not retaliate.
Reba hated her! She genuinely hated Natalie and wished to tear her apart. However, she couldn''ty a finger on Natalie at this moment.
After the news was released, everyone in Simeria knew about it.
When Natalie spoke to Stephen on the phone, he had made his stance clear.
Even so, Natalie still couldn''t quite understand why he had agreed to this marriage.
In Lotus Vi, Clyde watched Natalie eat slowly and asked, "Is it not to your taste?" "That''s not it." "Is something on your mind?" "Yeah." When had Natalie been unable to eat whenever she had something on her mind? Clyde looked at her and said, "Since Dad agreed, Lord Austin must be a reliable man." "I guess..." Natalie''s response
remained subdued.
During the time spent with Austin, she had kept her distance. However, from Austin''s attitude towards her, she felt something was amiss. She just couldn''t pinpoint what it was.
Every time she asked, Austin''s smile always seemed mysterious, making it even harder to figure out whaty behind him.
"If Irwin and Cedric find out, it''ll be chaos!" Clyde thought of Cedric and Irwin.
Although he stood by Natalie''s side and supported her as her elder brother, he had to admit that...
Though those two men had been the most unfair to Natalie in this world, they were still doing their utmost to
protect her In Natalie''ster life, Clyde thought there probably wasn''t anyone more reliable than those two.
But Natalie was different now. She wouldn''t ept Cedric, nor would she ept Irwin.
As for the Austin...
Before Clyde could finish his thoughts, Natalie sighed and said, "Cedric will be returning soon." Whenever she mentioned Cedric now, her tone was filled with resignation, as if the feelings she used to have for him had disappeared entirely.
Clyde stiffened. "What? He''sing back?" "Yeah."
Cedric wasing back? But how? Thinking about Cedric''s return and Natalie facing him, Clyde''s head began to ache fiercely.
What kind of game was this? "Is that why you agreed to marry Lord Austin?" "If this is the only way to end it, then..." "Natalie!" Clyde''s tone tightened.
She had lost her mind! That was what Clyde concluded about Natalie. Irwin had been right, and Clyde''s thoughts were also urate.

When Irwin vehemently disagreed with the divorce back then, it probably was because he could see that Natalie was
willing to do anything to sever ties with them.
She was truly capable of anything.
She forced Irwin to divorce in the end with such a method, and now...
Was she using the same method to sever ties with Cedric? "You''re out of your mind, do you know that? Do you think Lord Austin is someone you can just use at will?!" "Lord Austin isn''t stupid," Natalie said, looking at Clyde.
"But you''re doing this just to-" Before Clyde could finish his sentence, Natalie interrupted him, "It''s the quickest solution!" Clyde fell silent and stared at Natalie
nkly. He felt... sorry for Natalie, especially after seeing the pain hidden in her eyes.
In the past, Natalie had been very naive, right? She used to smile like an angel, sweet and warm like the sun. However, in the end, Cedric and Irwin pushed her to such an extent.
Ultimately, Cedric and Irwin''s coercion had caused her to fall into such a state! The shadows that used to follow Natalie around had disappeared. Now, she resorted to such extreme measures just to escape those men.
Clyde took a deep sip of water but couldn''t suppress the heavy feeling in his heart.
| "Nat, you can maintain your innocence with me by your side. Nobody can harm you." is "I can''t do that anymore!" Yes, she couldn''t! Perhaps she could have done it before.
But with all she has experienced, how could she possibly return to her former self?
