Chapter 192 Deceiving Cedric
Zane nodded, “I understand.”
This time, Zane was quite satisfied with how Natalie chose to handle the situation.
He had to admit that sitting in her current position required such boldness. Regardless of who it was, she needed to respond forcefully without any reservations.
This was what Stephen wanted.
Earlier, Stephen had allowed Natalie to be buffeted by public opinion to temper her character and develop
her resilience.
Individuals like them had to be strong; after all, she was the future leader of Regal Horizons, and she would need to handle many matters personally.
As Zane left, the office door slammed open.
Natalie looked up from the computer and saw Cedric standing at the door, exuding an ominous coldness,
The coldness… was shrouded in danger!
Natalie closed her eyes. “What do you want?”
Leaning against the doorframe, Cedric said, “Do you want to confess voluntarily, or should I interrogate
you?”
“Do what you want!”
Natalie was infuriated, and she flung her pen at Cedric.
Did it need to be an interrogation when he just wanted an explanation? In that case, why not mention ancient torture methods or just skip to the death penalty?!
Cedric entered and closed the door behind him. He strode forward and approached Natalie. There was an irate look on his handsome face, indicating that Natalie’s unruly attitude had truly angered him.
When he reached Natalie’s side, he bent down and encircled her in his arms. His actions gave
room to escape.
her no
Natalie tried to avoid his breath as he pressed closer to her.
Let gol
Do you want me to keep your uncle busier, or should I let Regal Horizons fall apart?” Cedric asked.
“You’re that capable, huh?!”
Natalie couldn’t bear it any longer.
Let Regal Horizons International fall apart?
How dare he!
However, Natalie couldn’t help but admit that for him to utter such words, he must have some significant
leverage over Regal Horizons International.
Her breathing became unsteady.
“Come at me if you want to. Don’t drag others into this!”
“You’re not afraid of death, so why would I come for you?” Cedric harshly gripped her jawbone and said in
an ominous tone.
Indeed, she wasn’t afraid of death.
That was the feeling Natalie gave Cedric right now.
Natalie asked, “Apart from resorting to these tactics, what else do you have?”
“Don’t you find it interesting?” Cedric remarked, gazing at her with a smirk.
Natalie felt the urge to scratch his face!
But in the end, she restrained herself.
“Irwin and I were just discussing projects!”
Snap!
Cedric slapped a photo to the desk, the force revealing just how furious he was.
“Is this how you discuss cooperation?” his tone dripping with anger.
In the photo, Irwin had his hand on the back of her head. It was a gesture that looked ambiguous and Intimate from that angle.
Natalie closed her eyes.
*Do you know that the internet is exploding right now? Wasn’t the online harassment enough before? Do you want them to curse and insult you again?”
‘re divorced. Is there anything for them to criticize? Natalie replied.
“Are you trying to say that if they scold you harshly, you’ll just marry Irwin to prove them wrong?
Cedric looked at her indifferent expression, but his voice had a dangerous tone.
He knew this damned woman was capable of doing such a thing!
In Cedric’s eyes, Natalie… would really do it!
Natalie met his dangerous gaze and wanted to retort fiercely. But thinking about the things about her
uncle that he held in his hands, she swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.
“You’re overthinking. Why would I?”
“Is it that you won’t, or you dare not?”
“I don’t know how much of Regal Horizons you have in your hands. Naturally, I dare not.”
So, she would, but she didn’t dare?!
Although he asked, Natalie’s response infuriated Cedric to the point of almost losing his temper.
He slammed her into the chair.
“Natalie, you’re quite something!” The current aura around him was impressive as he looked down at the small figure in the big chair.
Cedric continued, “Tell me, would you dare challenge me this way if you had nothing?”
“I advise you not to try!” Natalie raised an eyebrow, looking at him defiantly.
Cedric laughed and patted her face.
“You dare to challenge me like this now because you have your uncle backing you, right?”
The words were somewhat ambiguous, but the threat was evident. Natalie’s heart sank, and the danger in her eyes became more pronounced at this moment.
Cedric continued, “I really want to give it a try, you know?”
Natalie replied, “Fine. Let’s see if you really have the capability!”
Since this man insisted on using her uncle’s influence as a threat, they could only take the conflict to a
more decisive level and see who would come out on top!
Cedric pressed a forceful kiss on her lips that was tinged with a dangerous oppression. Natalie’s sharp
halls once again cut into his neck, leaving deep marks with blood oozing out.
Enraged, Cedric shoved her away. Then, he threw his phone in front of her and changed the subject
abruptly.
“Do you recognize this number?”
Natalie was confused by his sudden shift. She glared at him and then picked up the phone.
Glancing at it briefly, a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.
It seemed that this man was also investigating secretly,
1 don’t recognize it,” she answered without much thought as she put the phone back down.
“Natalie!”
Cedric was infuriated by her attitude.
Natalie looked up and said, “If I said it was Christina’s number, would you believe it?”
“Don’t involve Tina in everything.”
“Then I don’t recognize it. If you ask me, it must be related to Christina. This answer is quite vague, but
that’s all I can give you!”
Whether he believed it or not was up to him.
As the words fell, a chill crept into Cedric’s eyes. At this moment, his anger was about to erupt. However,
Natalie looked at him calmly.
Undoubtedly, his reaction was within her expectations.
“Cedric, you have too many connections in your life. There are too many people and things that can easily affect you,” Natalie said calmly.
“So, you’re saying I should believe you?” The man laughed coldly as he stood up.
There was a hint of mockery in it.
You can choose not to believe me…”
Natalie trailed off and chose not to continue the rest of her sentence.
in those three years of marriage, whether this man believed her or not was irrelevant. What mattered was that he should protect her.
When Natalie thought about what came after, she realized it was where she could give Irwin a
straightforward answer.
After all, Cedric had even demanded her eyes for Isabella. With that, what hopes could she still have for
this man?
What a joke!
“Although you’re unmatched in the business world, you can’t deny that you can’t handle family
relationships!”
Natalie’s words were tinged with disdain, making Cedric feel uncomfortable..
A growing chill emanated from his eyes, making Natalie chuckle.
“If you handled things well, would your marriage have lasted only three short years?”
“You saying that reminds me–I really can’t accept just three years!”
He wanted a lifetime.
Even if it meant tearing each other apart, he wanted them to be together forever!
The calmness on Natalie’s face cracked at this moment
