Chapter 292 He Only Has This One Way
Besides, if the child were still alive, Cedric wouldn’t be able to get any information, even if he used Bianca’s whereabouts as a bargaining chip,
It was evidens that Natalie wasn’t showing the true extent of her feelings for Cedric,
She hated him.
She hated him so much!
She even wished to obliterate him completely.
And she… had every reason to hate him! From her previou
life to this one, he was well aware
of everything she had lost because of him.
“Let’s go.” Cedric finally turned away.
Natalie frowned.
Go? Where?!
“Did you forget? I’ve told you half a month ago. You have to spend the same amount of time with me that you’ve spent with Irwin in the past two years.”
And this was what he used to exchange for information about Bianca,
Natalie had been busy during the last half a month. It hadn’t been easy, and being apart from Cedric had allowed her to calm down a bit.
“Are you really sure you know where she is?” Natalie asked, trying to remain calm.
In reality, she didn’t want to have any involvement with this man.
Cedric didn’t directly answer her question. Instead, he took out his phone, scrolled through it, and then handed it to Natalie. She looked at the phone he handed her, instinctively avoiding it.
To her understanding, anything Cedric wanted her to see was definitely not something good.
However, what he wanted her to see was undoubtedly related to Bianca at this moment!
Finally, she took the man’s phone and looked. When she did, she felt her ch*st tighten again.
“What happened to her?”
Before, Cedric showed her pictures of Blanca in miserable state, with those peculiar vacant eyes that constantly disturbed her nerves. Now it was a picture of Bianca on a hospital bed.
eyes were closed, and her cheeks were sunken, showing signs of her difficult time.
Her
‘Are you coming or not?” Cedric asked in a pressuring manner.

He didn’t answer her question. Instead, he simply took back his phone and kept it away.
Natalie hissed through gritted teeth, “Cedric!”
This man knew how important Bianca was to her and understood that seeing Bianca like this would disturb her. However, even knowing this, he still showed no intention of giving her information about Bianca!
Cedric asked again, “Are you coming or not?”
“Fine!” Natalie slammed her hand on the table in anger.
This man…!
Forget it. He had said before that he was shameless when it came to her, so all the insults hurled at him were useless.
As they reached the door, Xyla and Lydia were startled to see Natalie preparing to leave.
“Miss, are you going out?”
“Don’t tell Aunt.”
“But you shouldn’t go out to places with strong lights at night. Your-”
“Lydia!” Natalie interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. She then looked at Lydia and shook her head.
Clearly, she didn’t want Cedric to know.
Upon hearing Lydia’s words, Cedric frowned. After seeing Natalie’s displeased expression, he
say anything and simply extended his hand to her.
didn’t
Natalie said, “I’ll be careful!”
She only said that to reassure Lydia and Xyla.
She had learned not to show any weakmess in front of this man, no matter what happened.
That was how Natalie currently was.
In the car, Natalie wore glasses. It was somewhat similar to sunglasses but with noticeable differences.
“Why are you wearing this at night?” Cedric questioned.
Natalie didn’t reply, and her response to his question was an icy silence.
Cedric wasn’t pleased with her silence, and his one showed some displeasure. “I didn’t ask you to give me this attitude when you accompany me.”
hat else do you want?”
What else?
Cedric looked at her.
“You should treat me the same way you treat Irwin!”
“Can you compare yourself to him?”
It was blunt words that struck at the heart of the man.
Cedric gave her a fierce glare and fell silent.
There was nothing else to say!
He couldn’t say anything more. If he continued, this woman would undoubtedly anger him to death. Her sharp tongue wasn’t something anyone could endure.
Natalie finally felt at ease inside the car as she basked in the silence.
When they arrived at Peach Garden, Natalie realized she hadn’t worn any shoes. She must have been so angered by that stubborn man. Before she could react, she felt her world tilt and she was suddenly in the man’s arms.
Natalie struggled. “Put me down!”
“Are you sure you can walk like this?”
“What’s it to you?”
“It’ll matter soon enough!” Cedric said and carried her inside.
The butler and Lucas, among others, saw Cedric bringing Natalie back. The tension in the air didn’t ease at the sight.
If anything, it tightened.
Because these two would argue loudly no matter where they were.
No one knew when the conflict between them would be completely resolved. If they continued like this, everyone around them would be driven crazy.
Cedric carried Natalie directly into his bedroom.
“I don’t want to stay here!”
“You better think twice before you say that.”
What do you mean?”
“If you behave, I’ll give you some news about her”
+25 BONUS
Her? Bianca?!
From the beginning, Cedric had remained silent, refusing to answer any questions directly. But now he was saying she could get some fragmented information?
Then, what if she pieced together these fragments?
Natalie stopped her resistance after she thought about it and allowed the man to place her on
the bed.
As she portrayed an obedient demeanor, his eyes betrayed a deepening complexity.
“She suffered a severe injury. She needed five stitches on her scalp.”
Natalie gasped sharply at his words. “Who did it?
“I’ve responded to one question according to the conditions set,” Cedric responded.
“You…”
Natalie was going out of her mind.
The information Cedric had given her was better off not given at all!
Such information only made her more distressed
Bianca was a strong woman. She always held up a professional front at work and ensured her work was perfect. As a lawyer, she made sure criminals in court had no way out.
Yet, she was now in such a difficult situation?!
How big was the grudge between her and the person who had hurt her?
To subject her to this…!
Five stitches!
Natalie was already afraid of needles, let alone the pain of stitches. Just thinking about it sent shivers down her spine.
“So, what do you want-”
“The conditions between us, I believe, have been very clear. Don’t you think?” Cedric interrupted.
Natalie was silent, and she glared at Cedric fiercely.
At this moment, she wished she could tear him apart!
The auger inside her had been accumulating and finally erupted.
“You promised to ensure her safety!!!
+25 BONUS
Her angry shout echoed through Peach Garden. Lucas and the butler downstairs heard her
hysterics.
They exchanged a heavy glance.
This was just the beginning.
How would the days ahead be?
However, they all knew Cedric brought this upon himself.
