Chapter 201 Isabella’s Humiliation 

Once the press conference ended, Natalie descended from the stage. 

Someone grabbed her wrist and swiftly led her toward the nearby safety corridor. 

A familiar scent hit her, and Irwin pinned her against the wall. There was a smile playing at the corner of 

his l*ps. 

“So, you have plans for me, huh?” 

“I’ll make a good profit from the project in the eastern suburbs. That plan will work for sure!” Natalie 

awkwardly replied. 

There was pressure on her chin as slender fingers pushed her face up slightly. 

Irwin’s strength was a little assertive. There was a sort of hunger in Irwin’s eyes when Natalie looked into 

them. 

She shook her head but couldn’t break free. 

“Let go of me.” 

“Are you using me to piss him off?” 

“You taught me to do that!” 

Irwin was silent as his eyes darkened. 

This woman! 

He released her chin and said, “What a sly fox!” 

“Sorry, I was a bit hasty just now.” 

When the reporter asked that question, she didn’t think much. 

“It’s good that you thought of me in your hurry, hmm?” Irwin’s tone remained gentle. 

Natalie breathed a sigh of relief/ 

Before her rebirth, everyone believed she couldn’t live without Cedric. 

And now, she just wanted to tell everyone that she wasn’t dependent on Cedric! 

+15 BONUS 

At this moment, Cedric was in his office in Radiant Tower, 

A hard glint appeared in his eyes when Natalle mentioned Irwin in the press conference. He swept everything off his desk in frustration! 

When Lucas walked in, he saw the mess and approached respectfully. “Sir” 

Click! Click! 

The flickering sound of a lighter filled the alt, and the room was chillingly cold. Cedric slammed the lighter on the table, cracking it open! 

Lucas tensed, and Cedric took two deep drugs before asking. “Are you sure everything is confirmed?” 

Lucas turned solemn and said, “The locations at that time were indeed all at Scarlet Villa!” 

Scarlet Villa… 

It was the place where he and Natalie lived. 

That woman….. 

He finished half of the cigarette In one breath, showing how frustrated he was. He pressed the cigarette butt pressed into the ashtray. 

“You’re dismissed.” 

“Yes, sir!” 

After Lucas left, Cedric was alone in the office. As he closed his eyes, flashes of Natalie’s explanations crossed his mind each time. 

Explanations? Hah! 

Now, it seemed like nothing more than her stubborn denial. Not only did she deny it, but she also repeatedly placed the blame on Christina and Isabella! 

That woman, she was quite the actress…! 

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. So, Sylvan Gems and Regal Horizons International were her backing and pride? 

Would she still be this arrogant if she didn’t have any of those?! 

+15 BONUS Because of their ten–year relationship, Cedric had not given up on Natalie before this and was willing to accept her no matter who she was. 

But now, he knew that she was involved in the kidnapping of Isaac’s beloved and had caused her death. 

She had also bribed Isabella’s doctor, which caused her blindness. With that, Cedric was thoroughly disappointed in her! 

Cedric’s acceptance and forgiveness were not a license for her to do as she pleased. 

This time, he… could not forgive her! 

Natalie returned to Sylvan Gems, where Zane was already waiting in her office. Seeing her return, Zane respectfully greeted her, and Natalie casually dropped her bag. 

“Everything’s okay with Sylvan Gems, right?” 

The question was about the oversight of the former CEO! She was well aware that regardless of Cedric’s recent attitude towards her, today… No, since last night after he met Isaac, they now stood on completely different sides! 

It wasn’t a matter of being strangers, but rather an unrelenting anger towards each other! And she had to be cautious of Cedric’s methods! 

“Don’t worry, everything has been handled!” 

“Any issues with the orders?” 

Natalie was worried that the current public opinion might affect Sylvan Gems, especially now that she was the CEO. 

However, Zane shook his head. “There are none. Don’t worry.” 

At this, Natalie breathed a sigh of relief. She had underestimated the love of Sylvan Gems’s fans for Sylvan Gems’s jewelry. 

“What about that matter? Any progress?” 

The account?” 

“Yes. 

Zone nodded. 

“Who is it?” Natalie obviously didn’t expect Zane to act so quickly. 

+15 BONUS 

Zane replied, “It’s a private number and not registered with real name Identity, but it’s linked to a phone number. 

Whose number? 

“Christina Johnson’s!” 

Natalie was silent. 

Christina… heh, it’s her again! 

Good… very good! 

“In that case, let’s report it to the police!” 

Previously, she had told Zane that if it was an entertainment company, she would bankrupt them. If it was an individual, she would sue them! 

And now, knowing it was Christina, she decided to go straight to the police! 

Because she… was not willing to go through the legal process of suing someone! 

Zane nodded. “Yes, ma’am.” 

After Zane left, Natalie closed her eyes to rest for a bit. Just then, her phone rang. It was Bianca callin. 

Whenever something happened to Natalie, Bianca was the most anxious. Natalie answered the phone. 

“Bia…” 

There was a clear hint of fatigue in Natalie’s voice right now. She hadn’t slept all night, and then these events happened as soon as the day broke. 

“How did things end up like this? What’s the situation on your end?” Bianca’s tone was somewhat urgent. 

In her view, the end of Natalie’s marriage with Cedric meant the end of everything! 

The divorce was finalized, yet now so many complications have arisen. 

It was really infuriating! 

“It’s a long story. On my end… everything’s fine!” 

“Nat 

Bianca could sense Natalie’s hesitation, and her worry had turned into anxiousness. 

That’s enough, okay? I’m really busy right now,” Natalie said, 

+18 BONUS 

How is Cedric behaving at this time?” Bianca continued to ask before Natalie hung up the phone. 

“He still doesn’t believe me.” Natalie replied. 

He still didn’t believe her! 

There was a moment of silence before Bianca exclaimed, “Those bitches are quite formidable!” 

“The evidence is too strong.” Natalie added. 

When Cedric showed her that number previously, she already knew he was investigating. And now, the results of the investigation… 

She didn’t need to be a genius to figure 

wt that it was now in his h 

*Are you speaking up for him?” Bianca asked. 

“I think you’re overthinking.” Natalie replied. 

Speaking up for Cedric? 

Wake up! She no longer cared whether he believed in her or not! 

“If I’m overthinking, so be it,” Bianca sighed. 

She was genuinely worried now. 

Cedric had been the one who could once make Natalie wholeheartedly submit to him. But now, he kept. pestering her so much! 

Who knows what tricks he might play to make Natalie lose her mind again? 

Hopefully, this time, Natalie would keep her sanity at all times! 

However, Bianca didn’t know that Natalie was truly clear–headed right now! 

If she still had the slightest consideration for Cedric, she wouldn’t have gone through with the divorce! 

This day was truly chaotic! 

in potion was suppressed…! 

knew that the impact of today’s public opinion wasn’t about using it to harm her or to attack 

It was about Cedric 

What the other party wanted was for Cedric to see something in this public opinion. 

And, as the other party desired, whatever doubts and investigations Cedric had before, he now fully believed that she was the malicious woman who caused Isabella to lose her sight permanently.
