Chapter 111 Entwined in the Bonds of Collaboration Again
“Do I still need to go?” Isabella asked with a smile.
At this moment, she keenly sensed the feelings emanating from Christina, and it was crystal clear!
There was a mix of fear and disbelief.
Indeed!
How could Christina believe it?
All those schemes against Natalie in the Johnson Manor over the years were nothing more than child’s
play.
At this moment, Christina finally saw what methods were truly used when scheming against someone!
“You’re insane!”
With that, Christina turned and left without a glance back.
The harsh clicking of Christina’s heels against the floor and the uneven shuffling revealed how badly she
had been affected.
As Isabella listened to the fading footsteps, she let out a mocking and creepy laugh.
When paired with her eerie eye sockets, the entire ward seemed to have plunged into a terrifying hell.
Christina didn’t know how she left Isabella’s ward. She reached out to study her fingers, which had just
caressed Isabella’s eye sockets.
“Ugh… Blargh..”
When the image of Isabella in the ward flashed through her mind, she couldn’t help but vomit over the
flowerbed.
Too ruthless!
Isabella was too ruthless!
That kind of ruthlessness was something Natalie lacked.
How hard would it be to drive a woman like this out of Cedric’s life?!
Especially now that Rebecca’s attitude towards Isabella had changed!
A hint of panic flashed through Christina’s eyes.
These past few days, everyone was busy. Cedric, especially, was dealing with a headache over the piece. of land next to Dragon Park.
The time given for the bidding this time was shorter, and they didn’t have sufficient time to
prepare!
Natalie had also been buried in work these days. Fortunately, Cedric hadn’t appeared to disturb her. So, her preparations went relatively smoothly.
On the third morning, she drove to the site; today, she was in a Pagani since the Bugatti had been sent for repairs and would take some time.
Karina had arranged a car for her in the fastest possible time.
Unfortunately, when Natalie exited the car, she saw Cedric coming down from the Phantom he usually
used.
The man’s gaze fell on her brand–new Pagani.
At that moment, anger flashed in his eyes!
“Why are you here? Cedric’s expression turned gloomy upon seeing Natalie.
The last time she was here, he had underestimated her!
Then, she easily took the bid for the eastern suburbs away from him for Irwin!
Compared to the gloomy atmosphere around him, Natalie was like sunshine as she casually waved the
folder in her hand.
I’m working with Premier Garden!”
As she spoke, Cedric’s face became colder.
Premier Garden Corporation…?
Again…!
Just like before, she was working with a competitor! She had actually managed to secure collaboration rth Premier Garden Corporation?!
His lips curled into a cold smile. “Whether your deal with them succeeds is yet to be seen.”
“Haven’t you already seen my capabilities?” Natalie said arrogantly.
With how Cedric had spoken to her…
She would make him eat his words today!
Over the years, she had always been a useless presence in front of him. It was time to make this man
understand the dangers of the world.
Verde City used to be calm and peaceful in the past. Cedric’s reputation as the pride of the city made
people admire him.
And then, a small studio like Natalie’s had completely shattered this balance.
“Natalie!”
Cedric gritted his teeth when he saw her confident smile.
In response, Natalie turned around and left with her chin up in the air. She had no patience to deal with
him now, giving off the impression that she was always busy.
There was a noticeable contrast compared to his previous attitude towards her.
But he had never been this impatient with her before.
This bid was different from the last one. Last time, they collectively screened submissions. But this time,
each bidding company had to present their proposals individually.
In the waiting area, Natalie and Caleb sat together. The steaming coffee added a touch of warmth to the
winter day. Caleb elegantly handed the coffee to Natalie.
“Care for some?”
“Thank you,” Natalie said.
Cedric sat at the adjacent table, observing Natalie’s petite figure as she conversed with Caleb.
His expression became even darker.
What kind of person was Caleb?
Although no one openly discussed him, almost everyone knew that the Spencer family’s son was a man untainted despite being surrounded by temptations. He was a man who could maintain moral integrity in the face of adversity.
He was also affectionately known as the “Playboy“, a gentleman in elegant attire!
Why was Natalie associating with someone like him?
Clearly, Cedric had blurred the lines between Natalie’s personal and professional life. In short, as long as he saw Natalie standing with a man, he subconsciously assumed there was something between them.
“Mr. Johnson,” Yuvan stood behind Cedric and softly called out to him.
Cedric snapped back to reality, realizing that Natalie and Caleb were no longer there.
“Where are they?”
“They’ve already gone inside,” Yuvan replied.
Cedric irritably lit a cigarette!
He waited outside for an hour. What was Natalie and Caleb discussing inside that required a whole hour
for a proposal?!
When they emerged, they were smiling at each other!
This scene further aggravated Cedric’s already bad mood.
“Mr. Johnson…”
“Let’s go!” Cedric said as he stood up, and Yuvan followed closely.
When they walked past Natalie, Cedric shot her a fierce glare. His eyes were filled with hatred, and he looked like he dearly wanted to tear her apart.
Natalie ignored him.
Beside Natalie, Caleb burst into laughter.
Cedric’s face grew even darker.
Ignoring Caleb, he walked straight in! Frivolous people like Caleb had never held any significance in his
eyes.
So what if Caleb had spent a few years abroad? Did he think he could return and consider himself a real
expert now?
There’s something interesting between you and him!” Caleb said to Natalie.
if you say so.
“Yeah! You’re divorced, but you seem to still be involved deeply!”
“You’re imagining things!”
Natalie hadn’t expected Caleb to laugh when Cedric passed them. The first time she saw him, Caleb was aloof, elegant, and undoubtedly associated with Irw
But now, looking at Caleb, what he displayed was far from the simplicity she had perceived.
“Does Irv know?” Suddenly, Caleb asked this inexplicable question.
Natalie was momentarily puzzled.
Looking at Caleb, she asked with a hint of confusion, “What do you mean?”
“Between you and Irv, isn’t it that kind of…?” The man gestured, and Natalie instantly understood.
Her smile disappeared utterly, and she turned calm and serious.
“Perhaps you’ve misunderstood. Mr. Frazier and I only have a working relationship.”
“That’s strange! Irv doesn’t seem like someone who would meddle in others‘ affairs!”
Natalie was silent.
It wasn’t like Irwin had meddled in the affairs of others, had he?
