Chapter 230 Taken Away

“Alright!”

Leon took note of the information Natalie provided and nodded. It seemed that Leon had the necessary

resources.

As Leon turned to leave, there was a knock on the study door.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me.” Nigel’s voice came from outside.

Leon glanced at Natalie, who placed the relevant materials into a drawer.

“What’s the matter?”

“There are some guests downstairs. They claim to be here regarding the eastern suburbs project.”

Natalie and Leon exchanged glances.

Regarding the eastern suburbs project?

Downstairs, Natalie saw the people in uniform and knew the situation was truly pointing in her direction.

Jonathan had taken away Irwin, and now, her movements were further restricted due to the events in

the eastern suburbs and with Sylvan Gems.

“Ms. Walker, we need to conduct a detailed investigation for the eastern suburbs project. Would you.

please come with us?” The leader of the group spoke politely.

Though polite, Natalie understood. If she went with them tonight, it might not be so easy for her to

return

to this place.

Karina had rushed over when she got the news. When she saw this group of people, her expression

changed.

“Ms. Walker!” She approached urgently..

Natalie glanced at Karina with hope in her eyes,

However, Karina said, “We can’t reach Mr. Jarvis.”

Natalie’s heart sank. She knew all of her uncle’s time and energy was tied up with Winona right now.

With Sylvan Gems facing issues and the troubles in the eastern suburbs, she feared she wouldn’t be

able

+15 BONUS

Taking a deep breath, she said, “Alright.”

“Ms. Walker!“”

“Try your best to contact the chairman.”

“Understood.” Karina nodded.

Karina didn’t want Natalie to go with these people. Not only was she the founder of Auro Studio, but

she

was also the CEO of Sylvan Gems.

The key issue was that both Auro Studio and Sylvan Gems were facing problems.

As Natalie walked away, Leon followed behind her. For some unknown reason, these people didn’t stop

him. Logically, if they asked Natalie to come along for an investigation, then nobody should accompany

her.

However, there was no obstruction!

In Verde City, the rain always carried the chilly scent of soil.

Natalie sat in the car with Leon by her side, looking at the bustling city outside.

“Why did you follow me?”

She hadn’t noticed earlier, but now she realized Leon was by her side. Knowing that what she was

about

to face wouldn’t be resolved quickly, Leon didn’t need to accompany her.

However, Leon explained, “Mr. Jarvis has said that in crucial moments, I should stay by your side!”

Especially with the current situation unfolding in Verde City, it was now much more serious than before.

In such circumstances, Leon needed to be with Natalie at all times, regardless of what needed to be

said.

Natalie fell silent.

Cedric had won.

Yes, this time, he had won.

The few relatives she finally had in this lifetime were driven away instantly by that man. It had created a

situation where everyone related to her was implicated,

+15 BONUS

Natalie was taken away.

Although Zane and Karina managed to suppress related information, Sylvan Gems‘ internal circles

were

aware.

So, Cedric would also be aware of it

Naturally, the Johnson family knew as well.

Rebecca was already irritated over Isabella’s affairs, and now she was shocked to hear about Natalie.

While Christina felt some joy, her predominant emotion was hatred towards Isabella.

Christina firmly believed that Isabella wasn’t such a straightforward person, and Natalie’s current

predicament was undoubtedly related to her.

“Miss, please eat something.” Wanda suggested to Christina.

The day had passed. Though it was nighttime, Wanda had prepared noodles for her. Normally,

Christina

would have a good appetite when in a good mood, but now, she had none.

“I’m not hungry. Take it away.” Christina waved her hand.

Right now, she didn’t even want to talk.

“Miss, you need to have a healthy body to have energy, don’t you think? Wanda remarked.

Christina remained silent.”

Wanda continued, “It’s just an engagement. Even his marriage wasn’t stable. This engagement won’t

amount to anything substantial.”

Christina glanced at Wanda, her expression still serious. “Don’t say such things in the future.”

Rebecca wouldn’t allow her to have any feelings for Cedric. Though she resisted, Christina didn’t dare:

defy Rebecca’s orders.

After all, if Rebecca treated her poorly, her position in the Johnson family would be even worse.

“Miss, are you still hiding things from me? I know what’s on your mind. There’s nothing wrong with

liking someone. Isn’t that so?” Seeing Christina’s softened expression, Wanda continued.

Christina was already feeling aggrieved. Then, she recalled Cedric’s fierce gaze towards her.

He…!

+15 BONUS

For Isabella, he had…!.

Even when Natalie was around in the past, and something happened between them, Cedric would

never treat Christina this way.

But now…!

“There, there. It’ll be fine. Take it slow, okay?”

“Compared to Isabella, the madam surely prefers you!” Wanda said.

This statement caused Christina’s eyes to brighten.

“What do you mean?”

“You’re very smart, Miss, right?”

In Wanda’s eyes, Christina and Cedric were a well–matched pair!

It wasn’t like they originally had any blood relation. Even if they were truly together, what could those

people say?

Whether it was Christina or Wanda, they both felt that Rebecca was too old–fashioned and traditional

in

this regard, and there was no need to oppose it.

“Thank you, Wanda,” Christina said, feeling touched by Wanda’s strong support.

Over the years, her affection for Cedric had always been a secret.

When humans were not allowed something, they tended to want more.

Wasn’t this her case?

Her love for Cedric over the years had grown wildly. It was like wild grass, completely uncontrollable.

The more they were not allowed, the more she couldn’t control her feelings.

When she watched those women openly approach Cedric, Christina could only stew quietly in her

jealousy and secretly do things that couldn’t bear the light of day.

Those women could openly gaze at Cedric with eyes full of love, but Christina… couldn’t!

+15 BONUS

Later on, he got together with Natalie.

For seven long years, no matter what methods she used, she couldn’t get rid of that woman.

That woman enjoyed all Cedric’s tenderness, and Christina… watched as their relationship got better

and

better.

Eventually, Natalie even married him.

Even so, Cedric hadn’t been as protective after they had gotten married!

Now, he had divorced Natalie!

But why was he getting involved with Isabella?!
