Chapter 82

Chapter 82 Together with Irwin

Natalie hesitated for a moment, finally grasping the reason behind Irwin’s earlier inquiry about her

divorce.

But it was the subsequent statement that left her shocked.

“Are you speaking in his favor?” she asked.

Based on her understanding of their rivalry, they had always been at odds!

So, it was unexpected that Irwin would actually say something positive about Cedric,

Irwin replied, “Not exactly.”

Though he put it that way, his earlier comments had all been in favor of Cedric. When viewed in this

light,

Irwin appeared somewhat smug.

In recent times, the entire Verde City had closely followed her and Cedric’s marital situation.

Many people wanted them to divorce.

But who would have thought that the one to speak up in Cedric’s favor before her would be none other

than his opponent, Irwin?!

In this context, it seemed that Cedric had been overly petty about Irwin’s previous behavior.

“My relationship with Cedric is not something others can fully understand. If it weren’t truly unbearable,

why would I be willing to take this step?”

Natalie’s heart was filled with anguish.

Irwin gazed at her. At that moment, he caught a glimpse of the sadness in Natalie’s eyes.

During this time, as Natalie pushed for a divorce from Cedric, she displayed a strong attitude and

plenty of courage.

However, she now appeared like a woman who had shed all pretenses and completely revealed her

vulnerability.

Irwin’s heart tightened. “Indeed, the two of you have been together for ten years…”

Ten years a topic that had been widely discussed in Verde City during this period.

How many men and women had stopped believing in love because of them?

on ten years of being together

neufficient to stop emotions from being ab

No, evidently not!

Natalie stuffed a piece of beef into her mouth. It felt as though her throat had become painfully tight.

“Yes. Ten years!”

She didn’t want to go through it again and end up with the same fate as her past life–dying in a

massive fire, leaving nothing but charred bones.

Her despair, sadness, and even her ruthlessness ran much deeper than what outsiders saw.

Therefore, those people had no right to judge her right or wrong.

In the afternoon, Natalie and Irwin went to the construction site in the eastern suburbs. The

construction

was currently in urgent preparation, and Natalie was working hard on the detailed design on her end.

Throughout the afternoon, Cedric kept calling her, but Natalie didn’t pick up.

Finally, when it was time to leave work, he didn’t look for Natalie outside her office. Instead, he went to

wait in front of Bianca’s door.

He waited there until evening when Bianca returned, and still, there was no sign of Natalie.

“What are you doing here?” Blanca asked, not hiding her displeasure upon seeing Cedric.

She had always considered Cedric unreliable, and the recent events had only soured her opinion of

him

further.

Cedric asked, “When will she be back?”

He was impatient, but his tone was slightly softer compared to his previous coldness because of what

happened between him and Natalie.

As Bianca took out her keys, she replied, “She doesn’t live here anymore.”

As soon as she said that, she regretted it.

Cedric narrowed his eyes.

Then where does she live now?”

Bianca realized she had made a mistake. She was too tired to conceal her emotions, but she also

didn’t

want to get involved with Cedric.

However, Cedric grabbed Bianca as she was opening the door.

Bianca angrily pushed Cedric away. “Step aside!”

“Bianca!”

“What? Are you going to threaten me again? I’m not helping her with the lawsuit anymore. You can try

threatening Mr. Yancey instead.”

Thinking about the time Cedric almost got her in trouble at the law firm, Bianca was furious.

The law firm had been her years of hard work, and now she was a partner. If she were really kicked out

there, it would mean all her efforts had gone down the drain.

She had never been fond of these second–generation wealthy kids!

of

Now, looking at Cedric, she couldn’t help but feel that these rich people who trampled on ordinary folks

were nothing but trouble. Their attitude of doing whatever they pleased in a world without equality was

disgusting.

Cedric didn’t know how he managed to leave Bianca’s place. His already unpleasant expression

became even more dark and menacing.

He pulled his phone out and called Yuvan, who quickly answered.

“Yes, Mr. Johnson?”

“Find out where she’s currently living.”

Cedric’s tone was cold.

Natalie hadn’t been staying at Scarlet Villa during this period, and she had left Bianca’s place.

He wanted to know where she was now.

He hadn’t wanted to think about those things, but Cedric couldn’t help but remember her reports from

Overseas at this moment.

The were he thought about it the darker his expression becan

Yuvan acted swiftly. Soon, he relayed the information to Cedric that Natalie was now living in Elegance

Bay.

In that instant, Cedric exploded.

“Elegance Bay?!”

“Yes, she moved there a few days ago!” Yuvan replied.

“…Elegance Bay?!” Cedric repeated.

She had actually moved to Elegance Bay?!

Cedric was acutely aware of the enigmatic nature of Elegance Bay in Verde City.

Back in the day, even the Johnson family had failed to secure a spot there; some mysterious figure had

bought it out.

But now, Natalie was residing in the very same place!

“Whose name is on the property she’s staying in?!” Cedric nearly roared as he asked this question.

The homeowners in Elegance Bay were shrouded in secrecy. So, all Yuvan had been able to confirm

was that Natalie was living there.

As for the ownership of the property, he had yet to find that information.

‘T’ll look it up right away.”

Cedric’s urgency caught Yuvan off guard.

After hanging up the phone, the small room was filled with Cedric’s anger.

Elegance Bay… she was living in Elegance Bay now.

She… certainly had some remarkable skills!

He closed his eyes, concealing the glint of sharpness that crossed his gaze.

Tapping on his phone, he called Natalie. At that moment, he was contemplating how to deal with her

But the woman on the other end of the line never picked up

On the other side, it was already quite late when Natalie and Irwin left the construction site.

Irwin suggested having dinner together, but Natalie was too tired and had no desire to go out

She just wanted to return home, take a shower, and get some rest. After many years of not

participating

in such strenuous work, the sudden workload was taking its toll on her.

Irwin asked, “Shall I drop you off? Where do you live?”

Natalie declined. “No need. I live in Elegance Bay, so it’s quite far.”

Elegance Bay was a considerable distance away. It took around half an hour to drive to and from,

which

would be a lengthy journey.

But then, to her surprise, Irwin said, “I also live in Elegance Bay.”

Natalie was left speechless.
