Chapter 143

Chapter 143 Still in the Mood for a Date

Natalie turned around, and the coldness in her eyes now had a hint of mocking as she smiled.

The smile carried no bitterness

In fact, it was simply flat and carried no emotions.

“Tell me then, why did you come to find me? To apologize to her? Or for me to clarify things for her?”

“I’m curious. How do you plan for me to clarify things? Tell everyone that my mom stole her mother’s

husband? Or that I stole her man and admit to being the homewrecker?”

Cedric narrowed his eyes, and his breathing became somewhat erratic.

Undeniably, at this point in the relationship between her and Isabella, it was impossible for outsiders to

judge who was right or wrong.

No, if it came to defending their original family, people would undoubtedly stand on Natalie’s side.

Observing Cedric’s tight–lipped silence, Natalie’s smile widened.

“Or should I tell everyone I have a sister in this world? My dad’s illegitimate daughter?”

“That this illegitimate daughter was initially seeking revenge on my mom for her mother’s death. Then,

she found out my mom had already died years ago. Frustrated, she shifted her focus and wanted

revenge

on me instead?”

“She’s not seeking revenge on you!”

After Natalie spoke, Cedric coldly refuted.

His statement caused a mocking smile to spread on Natalie’s lips.

“Hah!”

Not seeking revenge on her?

Then, what about what happened in her past life?

Was it Cedric seeking revenge on her, then?

The initial mockery was now intertwined with a chilling atmosphere.

Cedric was shocked by Natalie’s words, completely unaware of the complicated relationship between

Natalie and Isabella.

But Isabella…

“You knew all along, didn’t you?”

This time, Cedric was the one to ask.

He was inquiring about when Natalie found out about her relationship with Isabella.

Was it from the time Isabella was kidnapped?

“What do you mean?”

Natalie could hear the suspicion and coldness in the man’s tone. So her own became even more

unpleasant

“Do you hate her because her mother stole your father from you back then?”

Natalie’s anger was instantly ignited.

He had completely twisted her relationship with Isabella in his thoughts!

“Well, she is indeed more pitiful than me.” Natalie’s thoughts cleared in an instant, and she nodded.

knowingly.

Wasn’t this situation from the beginning like this? Because Isabella had a much worse fate than her,

everyone sided with her.

“Natalie, what I want to talk about now is not all these.”

Cedric didn’t want to dwell on this point. Natalie’s current attitude made him particularly infuriated.

Natalie looked at him, silently waiting for him to continue.

Cedric continued, “I don’t care about the grievances between you and her, but now, please stop what

you’re doing!”

Natalie remained silent.

“And post a message apologizing and clear her mother’s name!”

“What did I even say about her mother?”

She’s your sister!”

Slap!

Just as Cedric finished speaking, Natalie’s slap smacked across his face.

Her sister?

Hah!

“So, you want me to write a message to acknowledge that she’s part of my family? You even want me

to

acknowledge her on behalf of my father? Is that it?”

“Isn’t this the reason you’re vengeful against her?!”

“Yes, I want to make her suffer!”

Everything was suddenly quiet and tense.

Natalie never knew that Cedric’s intelligence was at this level. She glanced at the time and noted that

there was little time left to bother with this man.

“I’m busy, so I’m leaving.”

“Natalie, she’s your only family in this world.”

Cedric said that after Natalie turned around.

At that moment, she stiffened and closed her eyes.

“You’re wrong; I have an uncle, an aunt, a cousin, but just… not her!

Natalie emphasized heavily on the last part of her sentence. The thought of any relationship with

Isabella made her feel disgusted.

Watching Natalie leave, Cedric stood in place, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

Even when he heard the recording at the hospital, he never thought there was a direct connection.

between Isabella and her.

It was an unexpected connection between them!

Natalie returned to her office, tidied up, and prepared to leave. However, when she opened the office

door, Cedric was standing outside,

Do you need to take another couple of slaps to remember?”

Natalie didn’t want to waste any words on Cedric, who she considered intellectually challenged.

In fact, her uncle’s concerns were justified now!

Letting go of her feelings for this man was also the right decision! After all, dealing with his irrational

behavior towards other women had become too burdensome for her as his wife.

She used to manage well before those gold diggers came into the picture.

But since Isabella appeared, what had she gained?

Especially in her previous life…

“Move!”

Natalie wanted to leave, but Cedric stood in front of her. She had reached her limit.

The man looked deep into her eyes.

Natalie ran her fingers through her neatly arranged hair. ‘Oh my god. Okay, bigshot. Boss. Whatever.

Tell

me, what exactly do you want? It’s impossible to ask me to post that message you asked me to!”

She could consider anything else, but she would not compromise on this.

If she acknowledged Isabella’s identity and Isabella’s mother’s position, where did that leave her own

mother?

Was Isabella’s mother the only one who mattered? What about Natalie’s mother?

“Since you know you’re her only family in this world, do you know the depth of despair she’s currently

experiencing?

Natalie was silent.

“Do you know how much hardship she has endured since childhood?”

As Cedric spoke, the air quieted.

Cedric probably didn’t realize what a joke he was right now before Natalie.

Do I need to care about how much hardship she has endured?”

Was this a joke?

Before Cedric could respond, Natalie grabbed his tie and pulled him closer. Her breath was hot and

filled

with digger

“Cedric, it seems like you’re getting increasingly confused!”

“You have no grievances with her, so I hope-”

“Tell me, what if your father had another child outside of his marriage, hmm? What if you had a half-

sibling somewhere out there? Would you treat them well?” Natalie interrupted him directly.

“Natalie!”

“Well? Would you?”

Would he?

“Forget about whether you think you can handle it. Even your mother wouldn’t be able to accept it! It’s

impossible! So, what right do you have to demand that I care about her?”

“When did you start talking without using your brain?”

Cedric remained silent.

Without using his brain?

Being told off by Natalie like this, he finally realized how inappropriate his words were

But when he thought about Isabella’s current situation in the hospital and her future… She had nothing

left in this world, and Natalie… was her only living relative she had.
