Chapter 44
Calvinâs grip on Calvinâs wrist tightened. Natalie stopped struggling and looked at Calvin. âTell me. What significance does that place still hold for me?â
Calvinâs pupils contracted. The next moment, he said, âYou know I wonât divorce you.â
Those words were spoken with resolute, the implication being. âYouâre aware of this, so you are making trouble unscrupulously? Starting now, stop making trouble.â
Ending it was Natalieâs best choice.
In the past. Natalie would undoubtedly obey the instant Calvin showed this kind of reaction. But now, it was different.
She took a deep breath and said, âGive me a reason to be with a man who wants my retina for another woman.
Calvinâs breath hitched at that.
Now, Yvette was like a time bomb between them..
The mere mention of Yvetteâs name would set things off between Calvin and Natalie.
They stared at each other. As Calvin looked at the stubborn Natalic, the disappointment in his eyes intensified at the thought of Quadfieldâs current public opinion of Natalie.
Those siding with Natalie previously were now siding with Yvette once more.
âDo you know how you currently seem in Quadfield? If this continues, you wonât be able to remain in Quadfield.â
Especially without Calvinâs protection.
Even Brianna would be affected.
âYou need not to worry about that. It doesnât matter whether Iâm here in Quadfield or not. You know that,â Natalie said.
She had been living in Quadfield all these years entirely because of Calvin, and she remained there only because she was waiting for a divorce.
If they truly got divorced, she would no longer be connected to Quadfield, and it would not matter where she went. Not staying there would also be a good thing.
Naturally⦠the would not leave Quadfield until Yvetteâs matter was fully resolved. She did not object to those people getting what they wanted.
However, if they wanted to step on her and climb up, she had to consent.
As Natalie expected, the current public opinion was even more insane.
When Brianna got home from work in the evening, she received a lot of Natalieâs parcels and gave a call to Natalie.
Natalie said without thinking. Throw them all to the trash can Donât open them!â
âItâs those things again?â asked Brianna
âYes, Natalie responded in a nasal voice
Natalie never expected those people to be so relentless in their pursuit and so ruthless in their tactics She initially thought
Chapter 44
she could avoid such a situation by going abroad for a few months.
However, she never expected it would be so severe when facing it again.
Natalic displayed all the documents sent by Jayden on the projection and held a meeting so that everyone could better understand the eastern suburb.
âLetâs do this!â Natalie spread her hands.
With that, they immediately got back to work.
It was stormy outside, and the situation in Quadfield⦠had changed! The weather was cloudy and rainy, much like the circumstances at Natalieâs end.
No matter what the commotion was outside, Natalie remained immersed in work and did not have time to care about those things.
Xavier was helping to investigate Yvetteâs matter, and her work was also thanks to him.
Therefore, she did not need to care about anything now. As long as she focused on her work, it was the greatest counterattack against those people!
Meanwhile, Cecilia showed up at the hospital at three in the morning. Yvette stared at her sleepily with some redness around her eyes.
It was apparent that the bandage had suffocated the skin around Yvetteâs eyes, causing the pores to become clogged and irritated and significantly reducing her beauty.
âMy brother has been getting off work late recently, so you should be more careful.â She was implying that Yvette should keep the bandage on while sleeping to avoid a sudden visit from Calvin.
When Yvette heard that, she felt a little unhappy.
Women were always vain about their appearances,
The sight of the acne around her eyes greatly irritated her. âWhen on earth will they divorce?â
The division of tasks between her and Cecilia was crystal clear. She was responsible for pretending to be disabled and blind in the hospital and giving Calvin some pressure from time to time.
As for Cecilia, she was responsible for adding fuel to the fire to make Natalie fall from her position as Mrs. Jeffor
Originally, the time when Calvin was disappointed with Natalie and thought he had misjudged her was when they divorce
However, what they did not expect wasâ¦
Until now, even with the outside world in complete chaos and their relationship broken due to the impact, they still had
divorced
âIf you donât want to keep pretending, thatâs fine. Try every means to get that woman blind so you donât have to pretend anymoreâ
Yvette looked a little better at the mention of Natalie
âGot it.â With Calvin already in love with her, it only required a little more effort from her side.
She just hoped that it would go well this time.

The smell of the hospital disinfectant made her sick, and she did not want to remain there any longer.
Cecilia knew her goal had been achieved when she saw Yvetteâs determined gaze. However, she still could not help but ask one more question.
âCan you tell me why you hate Natalie so much? She has been reclusive since she got together with my brother, so she shouldnât have offended you somewhere, right?â
While Cecilia did not like Natalie, she knew the enemy well.
Natalie had been by Calvinâs side for so many years, and she could not find anything wrong with her.
If Calvin were to propose a divorce, he would not be able to find a reason. How could such a person make Yvette hate her so much? Cecilia wondered.
After Cecilia finished her question, Yvetteâs initially calm expression turned icy.
Her eyes were full of hatred.
âI hate her! I wish I could drink her blood and eat her bones. Every word she uttered was venomous.
It showed just how strong her hatred was.
However, Yvette did not tell Cecilia why she hated Natalie so much. It was just a deal between her and Cecilia.
Cecilia merely wanted Natalie and Calvin to divorce.
As for her, she wanted Natalie to go to hell.
Meanwhile, Calvin only went out for a meal before returning to the office. That night, the real estate companies under him also stayed up all night.
As the chairmanâs son, he watched the tender situations intently.
However, he was unaware that Natalie was also stressing over the same matter. They were all working overtime for the tender three days later.
At five oâclock in Natalieâs studio, she and Queenie looked over the design draft jointly designed by several people. âWell, it works well and can be integrated with the surroundings. Also, it looks distinguished enough to reflect the characteristics. Queenie said
She was an expert as Xavierâs company was engaged in this field. Hence, if she said it was acceptable, it should be no problem.
âGet off work first, everyone. Iâll go to Stronghelin Global during working hours and show it to Mr. Foster before making any âchangesâ
Natalieâs words made everyone sigh in relief
They all got up and hurried to rest. It was impossible to head home at this point, but Queenie had already arranged a lounge in the office early on
âGo rest for a while, Queenie said to Natalie
Natalie nodded. She was also exhausted.
Her mind was muddled at that moment since she had never worked such long hours before.
