Chapter 274 Cause for Concern

Though Natalie didn’t lose her sight completely, her vision was severely impaired.

As a result, before she returned to the company, Stephen instructed that all the lights be changed to

less stimulating dark–colored lights to protect her eyes.

This applied not only to the company but also to Lotus Villa. Despite this, she still needed to wear her

glasses on many occasions. Until now, she couldn’t drive frequently, especially at

night.

“You came here not just to check whether I’m wearing glasses, right?” Natalie glanced at the

man playfully.

Jason replied, “Of course not. I’m not that free. Besides, you have so many people around you; you

don’t need me to worry about that.”

That was indeed true.

There were many people watching out for her, and it wasn’t just limited to her colleagues.

If anything went wrong, Heather would nag her to the point of questioning life itself.

“I got

in contact with a highly skilled cosmetic surgeon. Shall I recommend him to you?”

Natalie raised an eyebrow and remained silent.

“He’s had numerous successful cases in the field of skin repair. Would you like to give it a try?”

Skin repair?

Yes, there were still many scars on her body. The possibility of repairing these scars was very high,

thanks to Jason’s treatment.

However, he specialized in burn injuries, so he couldn’t perform any surgery for skin repair.

Now, the person Jason recommended was undoubtedly trustworthy in terms of medical skills.

But Natalie simply said, “No need.”

Jason clicked his tongue, “You don’t really plan to marry Mr. Frazier with all these scars, do

you?”

“Are you reminding him or yourself of the injuries you suffered in Verde City?”

The man’s straightforward words made Natalie’s heart skip a beat.

The injuries she suffered?

And Irwin…!

When Jason mentioned her marrying Irwin, for some reason, Natalie’s heart sank. The future between

her and Irwin, already unclear, became even more uncertain due to her uncle’s attitude and Cedric’s

sudden appearance.

“What’s wrong?” Jason asked, seeing Natalie’s unusual expression.

Natalie shook her head, “It’s nothing.

“Is it because of Cedric?”

He already knew.

That Cedric, originally condemned for life, had unexpectedly appeared in Simeria.

When Cedric was brought up, Natalie fell silent.

Because of Cedric?

That man had long been unrelated to her!

ins

Yet, two seemingly unrelated individuals were now entangled for some reason, and Natalie didn’t like

any of it.

Seeing her silent, Jason’s expression darkened. He said, “Natalie, I’ve got to remind you. Irwin isn’t

someone you can mess around with.”

“What are you saying?” Natalie retorted.

“For the past two years, everyone in the industry knows you two are getting married.”

Natalie remained silent.

Yes, everyone knew she and Irwin were getting married.

As for why things ended up this way, Natalie still wasn’t entirely clear. Not just people in the industry but

even the employees within Regal Horizons International believed that they would definitely end up

together.

In everyone’s eyes, no matter what hardships the old Natalie went through, when she stood in front of

Irwin, it seemed like they had to be together, as if it were a matter of justice.

What about her?

And what about Irwin?

“You’re fussing too much!” Natalie snapped at Jason with a less–than–pleasant tone.

“I’m not fussing. I’m worried about you!” Jason’s tone was unusually serious.

Natalie fell silent. Undoubtedly, in the face of such words, she didn’t know what to say.

Jason looked at her and said, “No one expected Cedric to show up. The situation is a bit complicated

now, but you

but you need to have a balance in your heart.”

A balance–a scale that determined what could and could not be done.

When Jason reminded her like this, Natalie’s heart skipped a beat. She now realized the complexity of

the situation with Cedric’s arrival, Bianca’s involvement, and the strange atmosphere between her

uncle and Irwin.

Jason left, and Leon returned.

His complexion wasn’t great. Even if he didn’t say anything, Natalie had a rough idea of the

outcome.

“Is it true?” Even though she had a rough idea, Natalie couldn’t help but ask.

Leon nodded, “Yes.”

Natalie’s complexion was already bad, and it worsened. She felt her chest tighten upon hearing Leon’s

confirmation. This was undoubtedly a dreadful outcome for her. Her mind was in chaos.

Bianca and Cedric–these two names were tightly linked now, tearing apart the relationship between her

and Irwin.

Taking a deep breath, Natalie closed her eyes, trying to conceal the overwhelming emotion

beneath the surface.

After a long while, Natalie opened her eyes. They were bright and clear now.

“Leon.”

“Yes, ma’am…”

“Is there really no way?” She was asking about information on Bianca..

Cedric easily obtained it.

Could there really be no way for her to do the same?

Leon looked at Natalie and said, “There are two possibilities now.”

“What are the possibilities?”

“One, Ms. Sanders might be in his hands.”

This was the first outcome. For Natalie, it might be a relatively good result. However, facing Cedric was

the last thing Natalie wanted to do now.

She glanced at Leon. “And the second one?”

He understands Ms. Sanders better than you do

“What do you mean?

Cedric understands Bianca better than herself?

That was impossible, at least in this regard.

Natalie almost instinctively denied it.

Leon glanced at her. “For the past two years, we’ve been searching for Ms. Sanders. Even you

don’t know where to start.”

Natalie fell silent.

“If Ms. Sanders isn’t in Mr. Johnson’s hands, it must be because he understands her better than you

do, so he knows how to find herl

Moreover, he already had the most advantageous lead. In short, if Natalie wanted to know where

Bianca was, the most direct way was to start with Cedric.

Natalie’s face turned pale, her chest tightening continuously.

She had to admit that Leon’s analysis made sense.

Either Bianca was in Cedric’s hands, or Cedric knew too much about Bianca.

Otherwise, why hadn’t they found Bianca in two years, while Cedric easily got the information within

half a month of his release?

“I understand.” Natalie took a deep breath and said, “You can go now.”

Chaos.

Complete chaos.

Right now, she needed some quiet time alone.
