Chapter 299 Constant Surprises

However, this restraint had almost reached its limit.

In the end, Isabella took a deep breath and said, “I actually don’t hate you anymore,”

Natalie was silent.

Hate?!

So, Isabella was telling Natalie that she initially came after her because of hatred?

But that hatred no longer existed now?

“You don’t hate me anymore?”

“Yes, I don’t! Not anymore!”

Whether Natalie believed it or not, Isabella was speaking the truth at this moment.

In the beginning, it was hatred.

Why did she hate Natalie? It was because of Natalie’s mother, and the hatred persisted until the

moment Natalie perished in the flames.

After that, Isabella no longer harbored hatred. She felt nothing even when she received news of Natalie

being alive again. She only thought that Natalie was incredibly lucky.

However, now…!

Natalie’s tone became sharper. “So, you came just to tell me this?”

“Leave Cedric!”

So, the topic inevitably circled back to Cedric!

“Do you love him?”

“Yes, I love him. Consider it as you pity me, okay? Don’t get back together with him,” Isabella -pleaded.

And this plea, combined with her previous pitiful demeanor, created a depressing scene.

With things at this point, Natalie could already guess what would happen next. As soon as Isabella left

today, Natalie would undoubtedly have to face Cedric’s questioning.

Natalle must have been crazy to think that there was someone behind Isabella.

Hah. Ulterior motives, huh?

“Lydia.”

“Yes, ma’am.

“Escort her out!

At this point, Natalie couldn’t bear it any longer. Clearly, discussing Cedric with Isabella was not

something Natalie wanted to do.

“Natalie, please. Just consider my plea.” Lydia pulled Isabella up from the dining chair, but Isabella

continued to plead.

Natalie picked up her glass and took a sip.

Lydia forcefully led Isabella out, and her desperate cries faded into the distance.

However, Natalie’s heart became more and more restless.

Lydia returned and looked at Natalie with deep concern. “Miss…”

“Did you arrange for someone to see her off?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Did anyone come with her?”

“No!”

She came alone…!

She truly had nerve!

Isabella was already blind, yet she managed to find her way to Hillside Villa.

In Natalie’s previous life, she couldn’t go anywhere except Scarlet Villa after losing her sight.

After Isabella was gone, Natalie calmed down slightly.

Raising an eyebrow, she looked at Lydia. “Did no one really follow her here just now?”

“Yes, ma’am. Besides the driver, no one was here with her.”

A shadow flashed in Natalie’s eyes.

So, her Intuition just now was right?!

In their last encounter, there was a woman with Isabella when she came to see Natalie. This time, she

was alone, and her attitude was completely different!

“Miss, Mr. Jarvis is calling you.”

lore Natalle could figure things out, Xyla brought the phone over.

Natalie took the phone. “Hello, Uncle.”

“We need to handle the situation this time more carefully. After all, you’re Regal Horizon’s deputy

CEO!”

“Don’t worry, we’re already taking care of it.”

“Good, that’s reassuring.

Stephen could hear that Natalie wasn’t in any emotional distress over the manner, which calmed him

slightly.

However, who knew if this was a good or bad thing?

But either way, as long as Natalie was fine… that was what mattered!

With that, they ended the call.

Then, Natalie immediately called someone else.

“Yes, Ms. Walker?” Wendy’s voice came from the other end of the line.

“How’s the situation progressing?”

“Don’t worry, we’ve prepared the relevant documents. Once the relevant department on Mr. Johnson’s

side signs and stamps them, we can announce it.

“Alright, handle it as soon as possible.”

As Stephen said, she was now the deputy CEO of Regal Horizons International. With such an incident,

it naturally had to be handled with caution.

Clearly, she was the target of this incident.

Thoughts of Isabella acting strangely flashed through her mind, and the timing of this news release

was…!

Closing her eyes, she massaged her aching forehead.

Just after ending the call with Wendy, Cedric’s call came in.

Natalie had a headache, but she still answered. “Hello.”

“Did Isabella go to Hillside Villa?”

His tone was icy cold, and it felt as if he was interrogating her.

Natalie pursed her thin lips, and a sharp glint flashed in her cold eyes.

Before she could speak, the man on the other end of the phone continued, “Nat, everything

etween you two is in the past, you know?”

“Things between us, Cedric, are also in the past! Natalie responded sharply.

Things between her and Isabella were in the past?

What did he mean?!

Did he think she sent someone to bring Isabella here?!

It was suddenly so silent that even the drop of a needle could be heard clearly.

The tension between them escalated, and after a while, Natalie hung up the phone without another

word.

Her expression was stormy and dark, and her chest heaved continuously.

“Miss.” Lydia looked at her with deep concern.

Natalie opened her eyes, a cold glint appearing in them. She directly dialed Leon’s number.

Her entire dinner time had been chaotic and unsettled until now!

Leon answered the phone, but before he could speak, Natalie said, “I need you to do something right

away.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

“Get Isabella out of Simeria,” Natalie said, restraining her anger as much as possible.

That’s right. If she kicked Isabella out of Simeria, Cedric would leave with her.

It doesn’t matter!

Even though Stephen said Isabella’s initial approach to Cedric was planned, these things were no

longer important to Natalie.

She just wanted these people out of her sight!

She no longer cared about how her relationship with Cedric broke down or the reasons behind it.

Since Cedric always believed that anything that happened to Isabella was related to her, she would let

him see what she was truly capable of this time!

‘Miss.” Leon’s tone was tight after he heard Natalie’s orders.

“Handle it immediately. No matter what means you use, I want the news of Isabella leaving Simeria

tonight,” Natalie said, not waiting for Leon to say anything more before hanging up the phone.

It was evident how angry she was about this matter. In her entire life, Natalie despised covert achons

the most and looked down on those who operated in the shadows

If one wanted something, just come out and ask! Why bother scheming in the dark?

Her surroundings were quiet, and Natalie calmed down a bit.

People at Hillside Villa were well aware that the entire Simeria had been stirred up by trending topics

related to Natalie today.

Lydia approached with concern and said, “Miss, if we deal with it in such an extreme manner now,

would it have any impact on the company’s reputation?”

After all, the headlines reported that Natalie was the one pestering her ex–husband and affecting his

current relationship.

If she now forcibly drove Isabella away in such an extreme manner, the reports might become

something else entirely.

Natalie had to admit that Lydia’s considerations in this regard were quite thorough. Perhaps this was

also why Heather had assigned Lydia to Natalie.
