Chapter 196 Don’t Force Me 

“Cedric, she’s dead! Do you understand?!” 

As Isaac finished speaking, he instantly erupted in anger. 

This was the first time Cedric had seen Isaac this angry. His heart tightened at the sight. 

He had to admit that an easy going person like Isaac was only that way because no one had crossed the 

line with him.” 

But now, things were different. The person he had been searching for all these years, the person he had 

never let go of… 

She was dead, and Isaac had gotten the news in the worst possible way. 

There was a dangerous glint in Isaac’s eyes. There was no trace of the cheerfulness that usually lined his 

face. 

There was only an endless coldness. 

“Isaac, I know you’re upset, but I don’t know what to tell you right now!” 

There was a lot to be said about this matter right now. However, there was nothing Cedric could say until his investigation was complete. 

The only thing he could do for now was to say nothing. 

Isaac’s face hardened. 

“Are you still protecting her?” 

Was he really going to this extent to protect that woman? 

Cedric’s heart sank. 

Before he could speak, Isaac continued, “Well, that’s how it is, huh? How important is she to you? Isabella is completely blind, and you haven’t done anything to her!” 

Cedric was silent, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. 

He said in 

He said in a solemn tone, “I know this matter has hit you hard. Everything related to Natalie is still under Investigation.” 

What if it really was her?” Isaac shot back immediately. 

That was right. 

What if Natalie was really involved in this? 

Cedric stiffened! 

His heart was in chaos. 

He had been sorting through everything related to Natalie during this time. But with Isaac throwing this curveball, things had become even more confusing. 

“Cedric, Ivan gave up his own life to save you. His only sister was by your side, and this is the care she 

receives?” 

Cedric was silent. 

Isaac’s words were sharp. 

“Do 

you need to reevaluate how you handle your relationships? Or should we say that Natalie is too shameless? You need to wake up! She bribed someone to kidnap my woman and forced me to leave. Now, I even suspect that Isabella’s surgery failure was because she also bribed Dr. Landry!” 

Cedric gave Isaac a sharp look. His eyes were filled w 

Isaac a sharp look. His eyes were filled with rage, turning them a deep shade of red. 

He firmly said, “I told you, many things are being sorted out right now!” 

Isaac hysterically shouted, “You believe her so much, yet what is she doing? She’s getting involved with Irwin! She’s such a selfish and vicious woman. Only you would treasure her so much!” 

Cedric’s world was already somewhat chaotic. Now, with Isaac shouting like this, it became even worse. 

Despite that, he persisted in wanting to investigate on his own. 

However, Isaac continued, “I’ve already reported it to the police!” 

“What?!” 

Cedric’s eyes flashed dangerously. 

isaac had reported it to the police?! 

“How could I forget? You used to be so merciful to her. If it weren’t for you, she would have died in prison 

marty times over, right?” Isaac declared.

“She deserves to diel”

The two men confronted each other. The once sunny Isaac now showed no signs of yielding in front of 

Cedric. It seemed as if no matter what was said, he was determined to take Natalie’s life. 

The tranquil night in Verde City was completely torn apart by this confrontation. 

In Cedric’s office, Natalie received a call from the relevant authorities. 

Upon hearing the content of the call, her heart sank. 

“I understand. I’ll come over immediately to cooperate with the investigation,” she replied calmly. 

However, her heart was in turmoil. 

She glanced at the office door, already guessing who Cedric was meeting with. 

Somehow, she was now involved with Isaac’s matter?! 

Taking a deep breath, she picked up her bag to leave. However, the office door opened at that moment. 

Cedric stood at the doorway, and the air around him was cold. There was anger on his face when he looked at her. 

“Isaac left,” Cedric spoke before Natalie could say anything. 

Natalie nodded. “Alright.” 

“Did you do it?” 

Natalie remained silent. Looking at the uncertainty and suspicion in the man’s eyes, she smiled. 

The man who had previously used strong measures to force her into remarriage seemed to have no idea what all of this meant in his heart. 

In the past, Natalie would have at least tried to explain when faced with Cedric’s questioning. She would have tried to tell him it wasn’t her. She might even have resorted to hysterical shouting. 

But now, Natalie did none of that. 

She simply said, “Whether it’s me or not, the police will have their conclusion. I don’t think I need to explain anything to you.” 

“Or do you think you’re more authoritative than the police?” 

She remained calm, observing the anger in his eyes. 

Cedric was completely infuriated by her calm demeanor. 

“I just need one word. Did you or did you not do it?” His tone contained restraint, as if he was holding 

back the impulse to go forward and strangle her on the spot. 

Natalie laughed. 

That laughter was so piercing to Cedric’s ears. 

“If you already know in your heart, why do you still need to ask me?” 

How many times had she said it wasn’t her in the past? Yet, he had never believed her. 

He believed in Isabella. He believed in Christina. 

He believed in everyone but her. 

“Natalie!” 

“If you truly believed in me or understood me even a little, you wouldn’t be asking such a stupid question 

here!” 

The anger in Cedric’s eyes burned. He stepped foward and gripped her shoulder tightly. 

“It seems Stephen has truly spoiled you.” 

“Yes, he’s the one who spoiled me!” 

“How pathetic is that, huh? I used to be your wife, but someone else had to pamper and indulge me. Isn’t that laughable?” 

It was not just pathetic, but laughable! 

And she was referring to Cedric. / 

Their eyes met, and there was a fierce look in both. Cedric wished he could tear Natalle apart! 

never knew she had such a rebellioup spirit within her. Since meeting Stephen, she had gone entirely 

Cedric 

You better pray 

with you 

Cedric didn’t finish his sentence. 

To put it bluntly, this matter had clearly been meticulously planned. 

It had taken Isaac a long time abroad before he had managed to uncover it! And it had taken him a 

considerable amount of effort to do so. 

He didn’t say it out loud, but Natalie understood the meaning behind his words. 

“I’ve seen your ruthlessness; you don’t need to warn me deliberately.” 

Natalie pinched his hand tightly, and he slowly loosened his hold. 

She was calm. 

She was too calm! 

Cedric simply stared at her as Natalie walked steadily toward the office door. When the door opened, she saw Yuvan and Queenie. 

They exchanged a glance, both with a sense of satisfaction. 

Natalie turned back to Cedric. Even at this moment, she remained arrogant. 

*Just a reminder that you shouldn’t continue keeping Yuvan and Queenie around!”
