Chapter 160 Scheming in the Shadows

This man was now…!

Her anger was almost consuming her.

On the other hand, Cedric showed no sign of losing control due to her emotional outburst.

He was like a completely different person from before!

He handed his empty plate to the nearby butler and stepped forward, pulling Natalie forcefully

arms.

His strong and powerful arms held her firmly, rendering her helpless!

“Bastard! Let me go!”

“You s

still haven’t figured it out yet, huh? What we need to resolve now isn’t the matter of remarriage.

“You…”

his

“If you don’t behave now, do you want to skip work tomorrow? Or do you plan never to go to Sylvan

Gems

In the future?”

The man’s tone was gentle, but his words carried a veiled threat.

Yes, it was a threat!

At this moment, he was threatening Natalie.

Previously…!

Because Cedric’s focus was on Isabella, he didn’t have time to deal with her antics. Every action she

took was enough to drive him crazy.

Now, he had enough time. He also had the patience to engage with and wear her down!

“You bastard…

Natalie raised her hand to strike.

She wanted nothing more than to tear this man apart!

But the nexx moment, Cedric grabbed her cold hand and kissed her palm!

cons were both frivolous and provocative.

Natalie shivered all over.

“indulged you too much before this.”

“Aren’t I a vicious woman? Yet you-”

“It’s fine even if you’re worse than this, hmm?” Before Natalie could finish her sentence, the man

smoothly

continued.

Natalie’s heart tightened.

Was it really like Bianca said?

No, it couldn’t be!

Kisses, pressure, entanglement…!

At some point, the butler and all the servants had left the dining room. Natalie resisted, struggled, and

wildly swung her hands.

As she was waving her hands wildly, she inevitably hit Cedric’s face.

Everything stopped for a moment, and the air was suddenly quiet.

Watching the blood trickle down the man’s forehead, Natalie’s heart tightened even more.

“Not bad, you’re being feisty, huh? I like it! The man chuckled instead of getting angry.

Natalie had been too obedient before; this change was good. Seeing her like a wildcat, he wondered

how she would be after he fully conquered her.

He was looking forward to it.

Natalie trembled with anger..

The man casually found a medical kit and tossed it to her.

“You can forget about it!”

She wouldn’t tend to his wounds.

However, the man said, “It’s okay. If you don’t fix every mistake you’ve made properly, you can forget

about seeing Stephen for the rest of your life!”

Are you threatening me?”

“Can you really threaten me?”

Natalie struggled to contain her anger and attempted to keep calm.

Yet, because she was in Scarlet Villa and facing this man, she couldn’t stay rational at all.

The man looked at her and smiled. “Why not give it a try?”

Try? How?!

Before Natalie could say anything, Cedric casually took out his phone and dialed a number.

The blood from the wound on his face continued to flow, but he paid it no mind. When the call was

answered, he said to the person on the other end, “Come to Scarlet Villa immediately.”

“Yes, sirl”

He hung up.

“While Lucas is on the way, do you want to remedy the first loophole?” he said as if she had committed

a

major offense.

Natalie fumed and couldn’t be bothered to respond.

Seeing Natalie’s reluctance, Cedric didn’t force her. He had the butler come in to tend to his wounds.

The butler was shocked when he saw the injury, but ultimately chose not to say anything.

Soon, Lucas arrived.

“Sir, you called for me?”

Cedric handed Natalie’s passport, ID, and other documents to Lucas. Seeing her personal documents

in his hand, she was about to explode. She didn’t know he had gotten his hands on those items!

“You know what to do, hmm? Try to be back before midnight!”

Under Cedric’s instructions, Lucas directly drove Natalie to the airport. He accompanied her, purchased

the flight tickets, and completed the boarding procedures.

However, during boarding, they were stopped.

“I’m sony, Ms. Walker. You cannot leave Verde City at the moment.”

We don’t know the reason on our end, but your information shows that you cannot leavel. The staff

Natalie was furious.

Cedric, he…!

Seeing Natalie swaying unsteadily, Lucas stepped forward to help, but Natalie pushed him away.

“Get lost!”

As Lucas was one of Cedric’s people, she couldn’t show any goodwill.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Cedric was serious!

Lucas looked troubled. “Mr. Johnson said that after finishing here, you should return straight to Scarlet

Villa.”

“I told you to get lost! Get lost!”

Natalie was so enraged that she completely disregarded the fact that they were at the airport.

She needed to calm down!

If she went back to Scarlet Villa now, she was afraid she might not resist picking up a knife and

stabbing Cedric.

Lucas had been working for Cedric for a long time, and he had never seen Natalie lose her temper like

this.

It was clear that it would be quite impossible to smoothly bring Natalie back to Scarlet Villa.

So, he called Cedric.

Natalie didn’t know what was said, but Lucas hung up and approached.

Madam, Mr. Johnson said it’s fine if you don’t go back to Scarlet Villa. Where would you like to go? I’ll

take you there.”

I told you to get lost! Don’t you understand?”

Madam

Lucas was in a dilemma.

Mistake was angry, but she also knew she couldn’t escape. In the end, she reluctantly got into Cedric‘

Now, it seemed like Bianca was her only option.

Her uncle was kept out of Verde City due to Cedric’s interference. Her current situation made it

impossible for her to leave the country. And with Irwin gone, Blanca was her remaining support.

Bianca was shocked when she saw Natalie at her door, especially since she recognized Lucas as one

of Cedric’s people. She dragged Natalle into the house and slammed the door behind them.

“What’s going on? That’s

one of Cedric’s assistants, right? Am I wrong?”

“You’re not wrong!”

“Then you…”

“Bia, you’re right. He never intended to let me go!”

When Natalie said this, she trembled all over.

She was infuriated!

After Cedric settled Isabella’s matters, he seemed to have transformed into a different person!

What did it look like from Natalie’s perspective?

It was as if he suddenly had a surplus of time to spend with her. Everything she had done before, all

the

troubles she had caused, Cedric had remembered it all.

The man had always been the type to retaliate for every grievance he suffered, so Natalie had no idea

what would happen next!
