Chapter 168 More Dominant
Cedric looked at Natalle, whose anger had reached a certain level, and casually glanced at the phone in
his cup.
“Come here.”
His tone was sharp and authoritative.
Natalie sat still, showing clear resistance. The meaning of her confrontation with him was so obvious.
The man roared, “Everyone else, leave!”
The people present, feeling like they had been granted amnesty, hurriedly left. Only Natalie and Cedric remained. The man stood up and strode towards her.
Natalie instinctively wanted to escape, but her anger kept her rooted in place. The man’s domineering
presence enveloped her completely.
Before she could react, he lifted her from the chair like she weighed nothing.
“Natalie, did I indulge you too much before?”
There was restrained anger in his tone. He carried her and threw her onto the sofa.
Natalie tried to get up, but Cedric firmly pressed her down before she could.
“Who the hell gave you the guts to make a scene for another man, huh?”
The pressure on her shoulder tightened. At this moment, Natalie struggled to open her eyes and met
Cedric’s furious gaze.
Seeing the cruelty in his eyes brought back memories of the past, the time when she was helpless and her
only reliance was on him.
When this man treated her like this, Natalie could clearly remember the despair from her past life.
If you have the guts, just kill me!”
“Kill you?
Why would 12

Each word from the man was filled with determination. Natalie had seen this level of cruelty before, back in the previous life when he wanted to take away her eyes for Isabella.
“Is that so? Natalie sneered, provoking him.
Natalie was under no illusion that Irwin or Stephen were saints. They hadn’t had time to react to Cedric’s
attacks at this moment.
Once they did, there would be trouble for Cedric.
It would be a standoff between the strong!
Cedric wouldn’t be pleased with that situation. Whether it was Stephen or Irwin, the things Cedric had
done would only keep them away temporarily.
The only thing she could do now was to try her best to stand against him.
“Why don’t we give it a try? Let’s see who can come to your rescue now, huh?”
“You dare?!”
Seeing the burning fire in the man’s eyes, Natalie’s anger skyrocketed. The next moment, she paid the
price for her provocation.
In that instance, she learned that there were beasts in this world that should not be provoked!
She had never seen Cedric so out of control before.
After it was over, he threw a blanket over her.
“Now you understand the consequences of angering me?”
“Cedric, you’re not human!” Natalie cursed vehemently.
The man leisurely adjusted his clothes, bent down, and held her chin. “Are you going to tell your uncle and Irwin?”
“You’re just a bastard!”
The man patted her face as if dealing with a pet. “You say the most wonderful things, don’t you?”
You.
ough I’m unused to It I have to say, the current you…
Cedric didn’t continue the sentence.
)
He was indeed unused to her personality now.
She used to be such a gentle woman. She would wait for him to finish work every night. She would eat together with him and even act coquettish if she wanted something.
Now, it was a bit unfamiliar but not unwelcome.
After that, Cedric left.
Watching as he departed, Natalie couldn’t help but curse him inwardly.
He was a beast! 1
The hatred in her eyes grew stronger.
Initially, she thought the best revenge against this man and the Johnson family was to elevate herself to a higher position.
But now, she changed her mind!
It wasn’t enough.
It wasn’t even close to being enough!
After getting ready and going out, Karina was already waiting outside Scarlet Villa. Seeing Natalie emerge from the house, her eyes were filled with worry.
“Are you okay? I tried calling you, but your phone was off.”
“I’m fine.”
Natalie had thrown her phone into Cedric’s coffee. By doing so, it had automatically turned off. However, Natalie couldn’t help but feel touched seeing Karina so concerned for her.
“Your cl
Karina studied her for a while before handing over a bag. “Your clothes and bag are inside.”
Thank you.”
You’re welcome.
Karina glanced at the marks on Natalie’s neck. She was about to say something, but then thought the
ter of it and ultimately didn’t ask anything.

But Karina couldn’t help but feel conflicted when she thought about Natalie getting back together with
Cedric.
Natalie changed out of her clothes and directly threw them out of the car window.
Karina was speechless and stared at Natalie in surprise.
This clearly indicated that she didn’t want any connection with Cedric!
Natalie arrived at the company, and she was unhappy all day!
Anyone who approached her was scolded, to the point where all the higher–ups knew she was in a bad
mood.
Zane came in with some documents. When he noted her expression, he frowned and asked, “What
happened?”
When he entered, he clearly encountered the person with a troubled expression leaving the room.
Natalie replied, “Nothing!”
Though Natalie claimed there was nothing wrong, in reality, there was a bitterness she couldn’t express.
Zane was different from others; her uncle personally sent him to assist her, so she couldn’t vent her frustrations on him.
But the more she thought about Cedric, the more enraged she became.
“Don’t bring personal emotions into work. It’s not suitable, especially… since you’re a woman!” Zane advised.
Natalie paused in her writing. When she looked at Zane, there was a fire in her eyes.
Zane understood why she was looking at him that way.
“It’s not about discriminating against you being a woman; it’s the overall environment.”
Hmph. Natalie snorted, feeling even more displeased.
She had to endure alone everything that was currently happening. She couldn’t tell her uncle, and she pouldn’t ask Irwin.

Seeing her cute expression, Zane chuckled.
“Why are you laughing?” Natalie asked.
“Our esteemed Ms. Walker is like a child in many ways. It seems like you had a good time not working
before.”
This adorable side of her…
If it weren’t for enough love, it couldn’t be nurtured.
Natalie glared at him but didn’t respond.
Nevertheless, she had to admit that Cedric had pampered her a lot in all those years in the Johnson
family before Isabella appeared.
Rebecca didn’t see Cedric for half a year at one point as they had moved out of the Johnson Manor because she disliked Natalie. Although Rebecca vented her frustration on Natalie, it didn’t affect her
enjoyment of Cedric’s love,
Natalie reminisced about the beautiful moments for the first time.
She closed her eyes for a while. When she reopened them, they were clear and bright..
She said, “Zane.”
“Yes, ma’am?”
“What do you think about Regal Horizons International? What kind of existence is it to you?”
“The greatest mountain in the world!”
“The greatest mountain in the world?”
“Yes. To me, Regal Horizons International has always been as stable as the greatest mountain in the world! Its existence is unshakable by anyone!”
In Simeria, the group did hold such a position, as Zane had witnessed over the years.
Is that so?
Jotale felt silent. The supposedly unshakable existence was continually being challenged by Cedric
about the troubles her uncle faced recently, Natalle sighed and said nothing in the end!
After all, once Apex Global or Regal Horizons International faced off against Verde Biotech Ventures, the
fierce competition in the business world would be unimaginable!
