Chapter 206 The Devastating Truth
Cedric watched as Natalie’s heart shattered and the red marks on her face. He instinctively clenched his fists, and his heart uncontrollably stabbed a bit.
The urge to step forward was instinctive, but he ultimately held it back lightly.
The voice from within came again…
It was like a hysteria from within his soul.
this!
“Don’t treat her like to do this to Naty
However, in the end, that voice was burned by his anger. What remained was his colder heart.
“Natalie, I’m telling you that this is just the beginning. Get out of here right now!”
Natalie was silent.
Get out?
She laughed mockingly.
“Before, you used such means to make me come back, and now… Hahal
She truly was nothing to this man. When he was happy, she was his beloved little pet.
But when he was unhappy, he would throw her out without any hesitation..
Natalie stood up before him.
Slap! Slap!
She slapped him twice!
As his expression darkened, Natalie said, “You have no right to hit I what was
After speaking, she arrogantly turned around.
Cedric’s face turned red with anger. He wished he could strangle her.
Just then, his phone rang
It was Rebecca.
He answered, “Hello?”
I only returned wed”
What Happened?
It’s Natalie. It’s because the pictures of Natalie and Irwin were exposed…” Rebecca urgently explained.
Originally, Rebecca hadn’t intended to mention Natalie. However, she seemed to be in a hurry. Christina was stopped and taken away right after they returned from Sapphire.
“I got it!” Cedric hastily said and hung up the phone.
He looked at Natalie, who had already reached the door, and angrily shouted, “Stop!”
There was a cold look on Natalie’s face, and she halted her steps without turning around,
Standing proudly at the doorway, she asked in a cold and indifferent tone, “Is there anything else?”
“Did you report to the police about Tina?”
“Yes!” Natalie replied in the same cold tone.
As she finished speaking, heavy footsteps approached from behind. Cedric came directly behind her and forcefully turned her around so their eyes met.
The eyes of both were cold and stormy.
“You’re so shameless!!
“I didn’t do it!”
“You still won’t admit to it?!”
“Cedric, I’ve always been willing to report everything to the police. Have you ever thought about the reason for it? Since I dared to do it, it obviously means I have nothing to hide! It’s because I didn’t do it!”
Natalie’s tone was chilling, sending, shivers down one’s spine. There was an unspeakable accusation of his lack of trust.
Today’s evidence against Christina was undeniable. However, even with such proof presented before him, .still didn’t believe.
He even thought it was all Natalie’s attempt to shift the blame onto Christina.
It seemed as if she had underestimated the bond they shared since childhood.
“You really know how to manipulate a situation to your benefit,‘ the man said coldly.

Natalie’s heart sank
So, you never believe anything I say, right?”
It was pointless. At this moment, she harbored no resentment toward anyone; she was simply taking the necessary steps to protect herself.
But she did resent herself for being blind all those years! 1
She had been with a man who was controlling, obsessed with his sister, and stupid.
In their marriage, she was truly an outsider!
She had never integrated into his world. This marriage was the biggest mistake of her life. She had never relied on him for anything.
Other women envied her for having tens of thousands of monthly pocket money.
But what was there to envy?
“Drop the charges against her right now!”
“No!”
“Natalie…!”
“You don’t believe this evidence, do you? But that doesn’t mean I or the police don’t!”
She was talking about the evidence she showed him tonight.
He hadn’t believed that she would hand it over to the authorities.
Neither of them was willing to back down!
Looking at the storm brewing in the man’s eyes, Natalie continued, “The police have been investigating Isabella’s case. I believe they’d be interested in this evidence. What do you think?”
“You dare?”
“Why are you threatening me? Are you afraid of trouble? Or do you lack confidence in Christina, whom you’ve always believed in?”
The atmosphere turned tense again.
Natalie had never explained herself so passionately regarding Christina’s matters before. But today, she wanted to loudly tell this man that it was all Christina.
Juan–care if Cedric accepted her back in his world or not!
She just didn’t want to take the blame.
Do you have to do this?” he asked.
“I need the police to investigate thoroughly! If it has nothing to do with her, she’ll naturally be unharmed!” Natalie said with determination.
Her tone was firm.
The man released her.

in his eyes intensified.
“Fine, don’t regret it.”
“Whether I regret it or not, let’s not talk in such absolutes between us. I regret being with you a long time ago!”
Once Natalie finished speaking her piece, she turned around and left.
Her words were cold, resolute, as if even knowing him was a mistake.
Yes.
In Natalie’s eyes, even getting to know Cedric was a mistake.
She resented her own blindness and also questioned why fate had given her this chance to be reborn, but not to the time before she encountered Cedric
In that case, she would surely avoid this man even if it meant she had to travel the world to get away from him.
How could she let this man turn her world upside down?!
After Natalie left, Cedric stood in the same spot.
As a shadow passed over his eyes, Rebecca called again.
“Hello?”
“I’m outside the police station now. I can’t see Tina. Ced, she’s never suffered like this since she was a child!”
Last time, she didn’t know.
This time, how could she just watch and do nothing?
Rebecca was clearly anxious.
Cedric hung up after saying, “I know, I’ll handle it on my end.”
There was a cold chill surrounding him.
Natalie…!

Cedric wouldn’t let Christina stay inside for too long. This night was destined to be anything but peacefull
After leaving Scarlet Villa, Natalie went straight to the police station. She presented the evidence intended for Cedric directly to the police.

Now, she and Cedric were at an impasse. Neither was willing to back down. He stubbornly held onto Natalie regarding Isabella, while Natalie clung fiercely to the matter involving Christina and Sylvan Gems.
Neither was willing to let the other off the hook
By the time she returned to Sylvan Germs, it was already past ten in the evening.
When Natalie saw Zane, she spoke first. “Is everyone here?”
Zane nodded. “Yes.”
“Tell me what’s happening now,” Natalie said as she walked towards her office.
