Chapter 41

Natalie shook her head and said, “He gave

gave me three days to submit the draft before their office closes on the 14th, but I can ell we’re not the only ones who got this opportunity at Stronghelm Global”

“We’re definitely not the only ones. You probably don’t know how crucial this land in the eastern suburbs is to Quadfield’s GDP. It can’t rest solely on our shoulders.”

Before going there. Queenie thoroughly researched Stronghelin Global and got a rough idea of the kind of orders she might

secure.

They never expected to be assigned the eastern suburb,

“It looks like we’ll be busy in the coming days!”

“Well, let’s head to the scene first. Natalie replied.

No matter what, she had to survey the site first to find inspiration

In the car. Natalie’s phone rang. It was Rebecca. Natalie did not want to answer, so she hung up straight away. Not long after, the phone rang again.

This time, it was directly from the landline at the Jeffords manor

“Answer it, Queenie told Natalie, adding, “You shouldn’t let your line stay busy for too long now.”

Natalie paused for a moment, realizing she was no longer a full-time housewife who stayed home all day.

Now, she also had a career.

Since meeting with two clients yesterday, she had already received four phone calls from the other party regarding some detailed reminders.

With that in mind, she answered the phone. “Hello, Mrs. Jeffords

Rebecca was startled. “Mrs. Jeffords?”

The person on the other end of the phone obviously did not react immediately to that new form of address.

“You’re in a hurry to cut ties with the Jeffords family even though you still haven’t divorced Calvin. It seems you really like that man who can act as your father!”

Natalie’s gaze grew cold.

Her tone was not very polite. “No relation to the Jeffords family, isn’t that what you all wanted to see? Why act sentimental

now?”

“Even if you get divorced, it’s because Calvin doesn’t want you. Natalie, you don’t have the right.”

“Regardless of whether I have the right or not. I’ve already initiated it. Mrs. Jeffords, I can withdraw the lawsuit immediately if you’re not satisfied. Would you like your son to be the one to initiate it? I promise to sign without any further entanglement.

“Are you implying that Calvin is pestering you?”

Yes.”

Chapter 41

“Your” Rebecca’s breathing became a little heavier on the other end of the phone.

Natalie knew Rebecca was infuriated.

Yet, Rebecca’s current emotions and health condition were no longer within Natalie’s scope of consideration.

Back then, Natalie did not understand. But now, she finally realized that when one was deeply in love with another, they had to embrace the latter’s entire world.

When one no longer loved, the other person’s whole world meant nothing to the former..

Now, as far as Natalie was concerned, Calvin was precisely that!

She had given up, and her attitude towards the people around him had become particularly tough, leaving them no chance to respond.

Y-You, immediately return to the Jeffords manor! Come back right this instant!” Rebecca was furious and her tone became increasingly authoritative.

Natalie replied, “Just say whatever you want to say over the phone-it’s the same.”

“It can’t be resolved over the phone. If you want to hear rumors of me being driven to death by you, you can choose not to come back!

Upon hearing that, Natalie hung up the phone without thinking.

She pondered, “Did Rebecca just threaten me with her life? Has she gone mad? If she hasn’t, then how could she come with such an idea?

Natalie was clearly not buying into that.

‘Queenie

“Yes?”

“Help

p me post news about my current work status,” Natalie said.

up

Natalie knew she had to let everyone know about her current status. She was well aware that now, she and Calvin were being watched at all times.

The more those people tried to manipulate public opinion and pressure her using her relationship with Calvin, the more she felt the need to show people her current state.

“Alright!” Queenie also understood Natalie’s intention.

Xavier was initially concerned that Natalie might be unable to handle it, especially considering the Jetfords family’s influence and power in Quadfield.

Even if he protected Natale, he was worried she might become overwhelmed and spiral out of control. However, it seemed like there was no longer any need for him to worry, as she appeared to be very clear-headed

She picked up her phone and took a look.

Upon seeing the title of the news article, [The Lady of the Jetfords family used means to harm others, refuses to apologize. The law left room for those in power!). Natalie finally understood why Rebecca wanted her to go to the Jeffords manor.

“They’re not stopping, are they?” The corners of her mouth crept up, forming a smile.

Chapter 41

It was evident that if she did not fight back, those people would continue to see her as a pushover

She made a call to Xavier, completely disregarding the fact that it was already nighttime on the other end of the line. And so, Xavier’s tone was somewhat lazy when answering the phone. “N”

I’m sorry, I forgot it’s nighttime over there Natalie’s tone was apologetic.

Even though she cared very little about those people now, she was still somewhat affected by what those people were doing.

“It’s okay, go ahead. What’s the matter?” Xavier, on the other end of the phone, also knew that Natalie would not call him if she did not come across something she could not resolve.

Natalie took a deep breath and answered, Calvin bailed out the individuals who incited public opinion. I don’t know why. but I’m sure it’s related to what’s happening with Yvette?

Xavier remained quiet.

“So, I hope to quickly find out who kidnapped Yvette and what happened to her eyes and legs! That matter needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

Calvin’s current emotional turmoil was caused by Yvette’s legs and eyes.

Natalie had no idea why Yvette chose such an extreme method to split her and Calvin up. Perhaps that was the only foolish way Yvette could think of

However, Natalie also believed that if a woman truly loved a man she could not disregard disabilities or blindness.

“Okay, I understand,” Xavier responded from the other end of the phone,

He agreed so that the matter would resolved as soon as possibile

At the Jeffords manor, Rebecca came back home from the hospital that day.

Who would have thought they would see such shocking news? She was absolutely livid now. “What on earth has the Jeffords family done?

The room fell silent.

“Why did we have to meet such a woman? It’s really a disgrace to our family!” Her tone grew increasingly angry as she spoke.

Cecilia was always with Rebecca, accompanying the latter no matter when. Because of that reason, the latter w close to the former.

Now, it was the same.

Cecilia stepped forward and said considerately, “Alright, Mom, don’t be angry.”

“How can I not be angry? Are you also aware of this matter?”

arly

“Yes. Cecilia nodded and continued, “Previously, Calvin asked Natalie to apologize to Yvette, and Yvette was magnanimo She said she had evidence of Natalie bribing those kidnappers. She didn’t ask for unich, just an apology, and she’d let it go.

“Let it go? Rebecca looked at Cecilia with a hint of surprise in fier eyes.

She thought, “Yvette’s legs are disabled now, and her eyes are blind. How could she just accept an apology and let Natalie go when she’s suffering such a serious injury?”

Although Rebecca was dying to see Yvette make a big tuss out of it, it still concerned the Jeffords family’s reputation.
