Chapter 159 Settle Scores at an Opportune Time
After saying this, he took the utensils from Natalie’s hands.
Now that her hands were empty, the anger surged higher within her. She raised her hand to slap the man’s
calm face.
However, Cedric caught her wrist. Wrapping her other arm around her waist, he pulled her towards him, causing her to fall into his arms.
“Don’t be so angry, okay?” he said calmly..
“Cedric, go to hell!”
Natalie bent her knee to strike him, but he easily blocked the blow.
Natalie’s knee hurt from that!
Just as Cedric was about to take Natalie away, Nigel and Leon stepped forward.
“Miss!”
“Let go of me!”
When Natalie saw Leon, her tone became more serious.
Instead of releasing her, Cedric leaned in closer. “Even if there were ten of him, do you think it would be
enough to stop me?”
Natalie was silent.
Her mind was blank after she heard his words.
She recalled Cedric’s previous fights. Back then, he wasn’t yet the company’s deputy chairman, having just graduated from school. She had witnessed him throwing a thug down from the second floor, almost
killing the person.
Breathing heavily, Natalie eventually said to Nigel, ‘All of you are dismissed. I have something to discuss
with Mr. Johnson.”
It had only been a day…!
Or rather, since Cedric proposed remarriage, their relationship had completely changed.
Perhaps, as Blanca had said, Cedric was too occupied by Isabella’s situation to pay much attention to her
before this.
Now that there was no hope for Isabella to recover her eyesight, the only thing Cedric needed to do was make arrangements for her future.
And with how wealthy the Johnson family was, that wasn’t a problem.
So, now that everything with Isabella was settled, Cedric had turned his attention back to her?
That was exactly it!
Judging by Cedric’s attitude, Bianca’s words seemed spot–on.
In the end, Cedric took Natalie away!
Looking at the familiar route, Natalie’s heart turned cold. “I’m not going to Scarlet Villa.”
“Everything has been arranged, okay?” Cedric replied.
“Cedric, what on earth do you want to do?”
Natalie was utterly furious. Although she and Bianca had discussed the possibility of this happening, she still… couldn’t help but get angry when it did.
The man lit a cigarette. Then, he rolled down the car window halfway to let in the cold air.
Natalie shivered.
“Stay in Scarlet Villa from today onward,” Cedric said.
“You don’t need to move anything. Your things are still there anyway. If you don’t like them, we can get new ones,” he continued.
You
“Or do you think I’ll accept a simple piece of paper?”
He was referring to the divorce certificate!
He was saying that he didn’t acknowledge it!
Legally speaking, we have no relationship now. You have no right to demand anything from me.”
Natalie, are you lecturing me on the law?”
Natalie remained silent.
“You’ve gotten increasingly dim–witted, haven’t you?”
This time, Natalie was genuinely angry.
His attitude and words…!
It was exactly what Bianca had anticipated.
Now that Isabella’s matters were settled, his attitude completely changed.
It seemed like his attention was fixed on her.
At this moment, Natalie finally believed Bianca’s words. Cedric had been too preoccupied with Isabella’s
situation to care about her,
Now, it was different!
With this realization, Natalie’s heart beat harder in her chest.
They arrived at Scarlet Villa. When Natalie looked at the place, she felt the familiar phantom pain of being
burned alive.
She didn’t know how mentally strong she was, but she was silent as she studied the building. There was no visible trace of the trauma she had experienced on her face.
“Get out!” The man got out of the car and opened the door for her.
Natalie looked at his outstretched hand, knowing that her struggles tonight would be futile.
She got out of the car without acknowledging him. Her deliberate avoidance didn’t bother Cedric.
When everyone saw Natalie return, they were respectful. These were all new faces, as Cedric had fired the previous batch of people.
As Cedric had said, the table was already set with dishes she loved, and servants were still bringing more!
“How is it? Is it more luxurious than what you had at Elegance Bay?”
“Does a normal dinner need to be such a grand affair?!
Despite being accustomed to Cedric’s extravagance. Natalie still disapproved. In her eyes, it was better to stay low key
drie wasn’t imitated by her attitude. He pushed her to the dining table.
Looking at the table full of dishes she used to love, Natalie had no appetite.
No one knew that after her rebirth, she deliberately avoided everything she used to like in the past life, whether it was food, taste in clothing, or accessories.
Everything had changed!
She was trying hard to erase any traces of her previous life on herself, and she was also making an effort not to think about the love and beauty between her and Cedric in her past life.
The only thing she remembered was the intense hatred, despair, and helplessness of being burned alive
with her child.
“I didn’t tell you, did I?” Cedric sat across from her and casually asked as he helped himself to some food.
“What?”
Natalie didn’t understand what he was asking.
Cedric glanced at her and said, “Irwin leaving Verde City means you can’t leave either, and…”
At this point, he paused.
Natalie’s already surging heart was now filled with anger.
The man continued in a nonchalant tone, “Your uncle can’t come to Verde City for the time being.”
Natalie was silent momentarily…
And then….
Her world shattered!
“What did you say?”
Her lips trembled, unable to believe what she was hearing. She stared at the man in front of her in disbelief.
She couldn’t believe he could do it!
But if he could relocate Irwin from Verde City, he could undoubtedly do the same with her uncle!
Natalie was not just angry at this moment.
Until things between us are resolved, I don’t want more people involved,” Cedric casually said as he ate
was filled with overwhelming anger, but Cedric was calm. The contrast between them was stark
Previously, when Natalie quarreled with him, he was caught up with Isabella’s matters and had been
unable to care much about her.
Natalie had all the time in the world to quarrel with him back then!
Now, it was different. He had plenty of time, and Natalie… was growing impatient.
“Cedric, what gives you the right? What right do you have?”
“Nothing specific, really,” Cedric replied.
Natalie was speechless!
“This isn’t bad. Are you going to eat or not?”
In her anger, Natalie flipped the table with a loud crash!
Her chest heaved, filled with pent–up resentment.
Cedric’s attitude towards her now was like settling scores at an opportune moment. Matters he previously had no time for were now firmly in his grasp, pushing Natalie to the brink of endurance.
Her outburst made everyone in the room tense!
Meanwhile, Cedric calmly continued eating. He seemed unaffected by her actions. He pushed away the last mouthful of food and said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to eat. You can wait until you’re hungry.”
“I will not remarry you!” Natalie yelled in frustration.
