Chapter 282 Not the Obedient Girl Anymore

Sure enough, Karina was no longer there.

The only person who came to pick up Natalie was Leon. When she arrived at the company, Wendy was

already waiting for her.

Judging by Wendy’s appearance, she had already taken over Karina’s work.

“Ms. Walker!

“Yeah?”

“In the future, you mustn’t drive, okay?” Wendy pleaded with Natalie.

In the office, Wendy was known for her tough personality. So, for her to say something like this

indicated that she also knew the reason why Karina had left.

Everyone around her was giving her nervous looks. It was as if Natalie’s eyes were a danger to herself.

“I got it.”

“No, that’s not enough! You have to promise!”

“Okay, I promise,” Natalie said with a smile.

Wendy thought Karina had really been fired. In reality, Stephen had transferred her elsewhere when he

got news of what had happened.

“What’s the schedule for today?”

“There’s a meeting in ten minutes. I’ll be handling your schedule from now on.”

Apparently, they were trying to prevent her from driving alone.

Natalie had to admit that the people around her were excessively worried about her.

“Okay, I’ll follow your lead,” Natalie replied.

To reassure those around her, she compromised on everything..

The whole morning, Natalie didn’t come out of the meeting room. She finally emerged at

noon.

When Wendy saw the lavender in Natalle’s office her mind went blank.

dispose of it immediately!”

the hell put it here? More importantly, weren’t there many security layers in Regal ions Internal Soul?

Did this person have some extraordinary abilities?

“You don’t like it?” A man’s voice came from the lounge area as Wendy touched the flowers.

Wendy and Natalie looked towards the lounge and saw Cedric in a well–tailored suit. His imposing

figure and refined features were still the same, but there was something different from two years ago.

The air around him had changed!

Wendy glanced at Natalie.

“You’re dismissed for now.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Wendy nodded.

When she turned around, she made sure to take the lavender with her. She knew that Natalie detested

everything related to Cedric. As a special assistant, she naturally had to do her best.

Only Natalie and Cedric were left in the office, and Cedric’s expression didn’t look particularly good due

to what happened earlier.

“How did you get in?” Natalie asked, obviously unhappy about the situation.

As she spoke, she picked up the office phone.

Cedric looked at her with a cold gaze and said nothing.

Meanwhile, Natalie spoke into the phone, “Change all the personnel in the security

department today!”

There was anger in her tone, and even through the phone, the she spoke to could feel

the pressure.

“Yes, ma’am. We’ll handle it right away!”

The call ended, and the office fell silent.

person

Natalie glanced at Cedric without a word. However, the recent phone call had already conveyed how

she felt about him.

“It seems that you’ve changed quite a bit,” Cedric said as he sat on the nearby sofa.

Natalie looked at him and said, “I’ve already informed Uncle that I’ll be moving out of Lotus: Villa

starting tomorrow.”

Very well.

“Now, can you tell me Bianca’s whereabouts?”

Cedric was silent.

A her words, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes. With a bitter smile, he said. “You’re no

“Cedric!”

“She’s not in immediate danger!”

“Where is she?” Natalie’s tone became more grave.

Not in immediate danger?!

Even if Bianca was having a bad time, that alone was unacceptable to her.

But now, Cedric was saying that Bianca was not in immediate danger?!

“Come live with me in Peach Garden.”

“You…”

Live in Peach Garden? With him?

At this moment, Cedric’s proposal seemed like a joke to Natalie.

How could she possibly agree?

“Things between us ended a long time ago. Do you need a reminder of how it happened?” she said.

“Have you forgotten?”

“What?”

“I’m a shameless man when it comes to you.”

Natalie was speechless.

He said that with a straight face!

The worst part was, she couldn’t refute it.

It was a fact that he was truly an extremely shameless person right now!

Such shamelessness was truly detestable.

Cedric looked at Natalie and said, “You saw Irwin yesterday, didn’t you?”

“What are you trying to do?”

In these two years, you’ve seen Irwin 208 times

What?

at would make it two hundred and eight day”

echiest she didn’t even know she had seen Irwin so many times!

so many times! yum

Of course, they both lived in Simeria, so frequently meeting each other was normal.

But the key was this number.

How did he investigate this?

“Stay with me for two hundred and eight days, and I’ll tell you Bianca’s whereabouts.”

“Cedric, I think you’re beyond insane!”

At this moment, merely calling him shameless was insufficient to describe him. However, there was

nothing playful about the man’s expression.

Natalie looked at Cedric in frustration. The anger in her eyes was completely undeniable.

Cedric continued, “Of course, I will ensure that Bianca lives during this time.”

Natalie was silent.

Upon hearing his words, her heart tightened. So, Cedric knew Bianca’s whereabouts. Not only that, it

sounded like Bianca wasn’t doing well!

“Where is she?” Natalie demanded angrily.

“The choice is in your hands.”

“Cedric!”

“You don’t have to choose, but you probably won’t have the chance to find Bianca’s body in the end.”

Natalie was silent.

Cedric had already stood up, looking down at her His gaze, like that of a king, stared earnestly

at Natalie.

Under the weight of his serious gaze, Natalie felt her heart constrict painfully.

“Consider it carefully.”

Having said that, Cedric turned and left without waiting for Natalie’s response.

Natalie couldn’t hide the coldness in her gaze when the door closed behind him!

She had to admit that the information Cedric had given her made her heart clench painfully. Where was

Bianca? What was she facing now?

Flashes of memories crossed her mind. She recalled those years of Blanca being land to her. Every

thine Natalie faced difficulties, it was in Bianca’s embrace that she found solace.

Just then, someone knocked on the door. The sound interrupted her thoughts, and she returned to her

senses.

“Come in!”

Wendy’s gaze fell on Natalie’s somewhat pale face, and she asked in concern, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. What’s the matter?”

“The Entes family’s fifth son sent you an invitation. There’s a banquet tonight, and you must attend.”

The Entes family’s fifth son!

He had invited her for dinner before, but she hadn’t gone.
