Chapter 351 No Turning Back

Natalie endured until the end of the workday.

When she reached the underground garage, she saw Lucas waiting respectfully in front of Cedric’s

Phantom.

Upon seeing her, he approached respectfully and said, “Madam, His Excellency wishes to see you.”

His Excellency?

Yes, Cedric was Wexford’s lord now.

This title constantly reminded Natalie of the times when she acted like a fool by Cedric’s side.

“I won’t go,” Natalie said.

There was no connection between them anymore, yet Cedric persisted in haunting her.

He was like a despicable dog!

No, he was worse than a dog. At least a dog worries about losing its master and tries its best to please

them.

What kind of creature was Cedric? Thinking he could just turn around and be welcomed back?

But now, Natalie thought Cedric had asked Lucas to wait for her here because he wanted to argue

about

Kayla.

She had no interest in that.

“Madam, Ms. Sanders…

“Lucas, please tell him that if he thinks threatening me with Bianca will work, he shouldn’t consider

himself a man!!”

Natalie was thoroughly infuriated. What was Cedric up to? Threatening her again and again?

She was sick of this feeling!

“As a condition, I will help him find Frederick,” Natalie said after taking a deep breath.

Clearly, this was her biggest compromise.

Previously, Malcolm had tried to force the issue of marriage with Natalie. However, he put aside the

matter when he learned about Frederick.

That indicated Frederick’s importance to both Cedric and Malcolm.

Lucas hesitated upon hearing this. Then he said, “I just wanted to say that Lord Malcolm’s people have

secretly brought Ms. Sanders back.”

Natalie was speechless. Upon hearing this, she sharply looked at Lucas.

“What did you say?”

the

That couldn’t be true!

“It seems you’re not aware,” Lucas said.

She truly didn’t know!

At this moment, no one knew what Natalie was feeling when she heard Lucas‘ words!

Malcolm!

Hadn’t he been busy with Frederick’s matters all along? Where did he find the time to….!

No, she didn’t need to think too much about it. Who around these people didn’t have a few capable

individuals by their side?

It wouldn’t have been a problem for them to handle multiple things simultaneously!

Now Natalie remembered that she and Leon hadn’t contacted each other for almost two months

because

of Malcolm. She was worried about her phone being tampered with.

So, as long as Leon didn’t contact her first, she wouldn’t proactively reach out to him.

At that moment, she pulled out her phone and dialed Leon’s number in front of Lucas to confirm the

truth

of his words.

The result was…

“Hello, the number you dialed is currently unavailable!”

Unavailable?

That mean the phone she was trying to reach was switched off.

But Leon always kept his phone off!

“Mr. Lutz is also in Lord Malcolm’s hands!”

Natalie was silent. Then, the air around her turned cold!

Were things… still not settled?!

In the end, Natalie boarded Cedric’s luxurious Phantom and went straight to Peach Garden!

Natalie didn’t know what had happened between Cedric and Isabella after Isabella had arrived in

Simeria. However, she recalled that Isabella had been staying at the Morina Hotel!

Now… Isabella’s daughter was by Cedric’s side.

When she arrived at Peach Garden, Natalie gazed at the dimly lit surroundings and muttered, “What a

tragedy!”

Her tone was filled with bitterness.

Wasn’t it just a tragedy?

It was simply beyond belief!

Lucas respectfully extended his hand to her. “Madam.”

“Lucas…”

“The road is too dark, so walking alone is unsafe.”

Natalie intended to correct Lucas’s address, but he interjected with that statement. Obviously, everyone

around Cedric knew about her vision problems,

Natalie shot him a fierce glare but eventually placed her hand in Lucas’s. In this dim space, the

unfamiliar environment was indeed challenging for her.

Lucas carefully led Natalie inside, only releasing her when they reached an area with suitable lighting.

The butler was waiting for them at the entrance.

“Madam.”

Natalie was silent, and her expression once again turned cold. No one knew how much she detested

this

title, similar to how she disliked Irwin’s people calling her Sis.

They entered together with the butler. At the entrance, laughter and joyous voices could be heard from

inside.

“Daddy, this is really delicious. I’ve never had it before.”

“Really? Eat more, then.”

Natalie was silent. Listening to this harmonious scene of father and daughter, she almost wanted to

turn

around and leave.

But in the end, she walked further in.

Upon seeing Natalie’s unpleasant expression, the servants felt their bodies tense. They wished they

could

dig a hole and hide in it.

Cedric and Kayla paused for a moment when they saw Natalie enter.

In an instant, Kayla slipped off the dining chair and ran straight towards Natalie.

“Mommy!”

She immediately threw herself into Natalie’s arms.

Natalie was silent, and there was a cold look on her face.

Kayla’s slender arms wrapped around Natalie’s delicate waist. When Kayla lowered her head, there

was at

careful attempt to please in her eyes.

Fury surged in Natalie in an instant.

“Let go,” Natalie said in a tone that was as calm as possible.

Natalie felt like she was looking at a miniature version of Isabella, likely because she knew Kayla was

Isabella’s daughter.

The atmosphere in the dining room grew colder.

Cedric’s expression changed when Natalie said those words.

She maintained a calm tone, but an inherent firmness lingered, invisible yet imposing for the child.

Kayla had initially been filled with joy upon seeing Natalie, but she gradually released her hold under

Natalie’s icy demeanor.

Kayla acted as if she had committed a mistake and carefully observed Natalie, her eyes full of

questions.

As if oblivious to the child’s actions, Natalie walked directly into the dining room and sat across from

Cedric.

She surveyed the table, filled with unfamiliar dishes, some of which she didn’t particularly like.

Natalle knew they were Kayla’s favorites.

At this moment, she felt…!

It wasn’t that Natalie was being petty or harboring resentment. She just felt that in Cedric’s heart,

Isabella always held more significance.

Whether it was Isabella in the past or Isabella’s daughter now, the imbalance on this scale puzzled her.

Why did Cedric keep pestering her?

Listening to the cheerful laughter in the dining room a moment ago, Natalie wondered if this man

expected her to join in. Wasn’t it enough that Cedric was showering Kayla with parental love? Did he

seriously expect Natalie to do the same?

If that were the case, it would be better if Cedric and Natalie perished together instead!

“Speak up. Why did you want to see me?” Natalle got straight to the point, her tone freezing cold.

Regarding matters between her and Cedric, she had adopted a swift resolution attitude from the

moment

she was reborn.

However, this man….

Cedric gave her

side.

a cold look and didn’t directly answer her question. Instead, he turned to a servant on the

“Zoe.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Take Kayla upstairs.”

“Yes, sir.”

Sensing the abnormal atmosphere, all the present servants swiftly left when Zoe took Kayla away,

leaving

the two alone.
