Chapter 304 Bianca’s Whereabouts
When Natalie heard Cedric’s question, she stiffened!
Why do you ask?”
Stephen had gone to Snow City, where Heather was.
Of course, she couldn’t tell Cedric that.
Heather was helping her manage things in Snow City, and Stephen had gone over there to accompany her.
Natalie didn’t want to disclose the matters in Snow City to Cedric, so she couldn’t tell him where Stephen had gone.
Judging by Natalie’s reaction, Cedric knew she wouldn’t easily reveal it.
He took a deep breath and said, “I have an important project in hand, and your uncle might be interested.”
“Then wait for him to come back.”
“But time is of the essence.”
Natalie stiffened again.
Looking at Cedric, she raised an eyebrow nonchalantly and said,
partner of yours.”
“But it’s a project worth over a hundred billion.”
“Then transfer it to another
“Then you can talk directly to me, can’t you?” Natalie looked at the man across from her with clear, bright eyes.
She had somehow learned to read people.
Cedric had presented such a huge temptation, but why would he want to talk to Stephen about any important projects?
He had probably never thought of collaborating with Stephen before.
So, bringing up project collaboration at this time was undoubtedly an attempt to find out Stephen’s whereabouts from her.
This man, hah…
“You’re just the deputy CEO of Regal Horizons. You probably can’t make the decisions,” Cedric said.
“In that case, there’s nothing more to discuss!” Natalie said bluntly, leaving Cedric momentarily stunned.
He thought she might arrogantly talk about her current position at Regal Horizons International. But upon reflection, Natalie herself was a relatively low–profile person.

At this point Cedric probably also understood that getting anything from Natalie wouldn’t be
easy.
The cunning woman had become shrewd.
The topic shifted in another direction as Cedric said, “I didn’t expect you to handle that matter so smoothly!”
Natalie froze. She naturally knew what Cedric was referring to. The previously harmonious atmosphere now became tense.
“You also played a part in it, so thanks for your cooperation.”
He was talking about the issue involving Isabella
The public would have eagerly anticipated a drama between a divorced couple, especially if children were involved.
It was a pity to those who were waiting for it, but Natalie and Cedric didn’t have a child. Because of that, people naturally assumed that Natalie was the most despicable person among the three of them.
“Nat, about that-”
“Isabella is still in Morina Hotel, right?” Natalie interrupted him, her tone still displeased.
What about this matter?
She didn’t want to hear Cedric’s explanation anymore. Just recalling that Cedric had warned. her not to touch Isabella was enough to clarify everything.
Isabella was important to him.
“Yeah.” Cedric nodded gloomily. Without waiting for Natalie to speak, Cedric continued, “Rest assured, I’ll make her leave Simeria as soon as possible.”
Make Isabella leave Simeria?
Natalie’s warm smile became mocking.
Making a woman who was pregnant with his own child leave Simeria?
Cedric.!
She didn’t find it comforting at all.

It only reinforced the notion in her mind that Cedric’s feelings were not something many people could afford.
“I think you’re mistaken. The most important issue between us doesn’t actually lie with Isabella,” Natalie said coldly.
Cedric was silent.
It wasn’t Isabella?
Then, who was it?!
Right, it was Blanca.
Natalie was in Peach Garden now because he knew Bianca’s whereabouts. It was an uneasy relationship between them to start, but she was now constantly reminding him of why she had accepted getting involved with him now.
Isabella used to be the key between them, and he had been confident that she still was!
But he was wrong.
He was wholly and utterly wrong.
Natalie was different from the past, and even more different from the woman he knew in another lifetime.
Cedric looked at the woman before him. The determination in his eyes deepened, and the chill intensified. He felt his obsession grew stronger… and his persistence even more so.
“You truly are heartless!”
She was heartless, cold, and unwilling to compromise even slightly.
When did it start? When did things between them deteriorate to this extent?
“You’re the same!” Natalie retorted.
Once, he had treated her that way. Now, he was doing it to Isabella. She pitied her past self and felt regret for the present Isabella.
As Cedric had expected, that was how Natalie now felt about their relationship!
“I’ve finished eating. I’m heading to the company.”
Natalle stood as Cedric’s face turned colder. But just as she turned around, Cedric called out, Natalie, if it weren’t for Stephen, would you still be so arrogant now?”
Are you suggesting I was with you from the beginning just for money?” Natalie sarcastically asked, and this sarcasm ultimately wounded Cedric’s heart.

He sat in the dining chair, watching Natalie’s proud figure. He opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything in the end.
Natalie left.
She didn’t recall how she left the villa, but Leon was waiting for her in the car.
He glanced at Natalie’s pale face and frowned. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
Leon said, “I’ve found some information about Ms. Sanders.”
Originally, she was somewhat downtrodden. But the moment she heard Leon’s words, she instantly became alert.
“What is it?”
After hearing Leon’s words, Natalie didn’t realize she had become so tense.
Leon looked at her solemnly and said, “The Entes family might be involved.”
“The Entes family?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
The Entes family?!
Recently, she had just secured a collaboration with the Entes family’s sixth son.
Now, she found out that Bianca’s disappearance was likely related to the Entes family?!
Then… was it related to the sixth son?
Before she could speak, Leon continued, “And Mr. Johnson seems to have continuous connections with the Entes family.”
“Cedric?”
“Yes.”
Natalie was speechless.
Her mind was in chaos, Originally, she couldn’t see everything clearly around her. Now that some things were revealed, it seemed even more chaotic for her.
She had been in Simeria for a full two years and naturally knew what kind of existence the Entes family was in Simeria.
She glanced at Leon and said, “Keep looking into it.”
+25 BONUS
“Make sure to find Bianca in the shortest time possible!”
She recalled the photos of Bianca that Cedric had shown her before. She had to admit that just thinking about those two photos, she knew Bianca’s situation was very bad.
Now that she finally got a lead, she naturally wanted to find Bianca immediately.
“First, take me back to Peach Garden.”
“You…”
“If it’s the Entes family, then we need to hurry even more.”
And now, the only way to save time was Cedric.
Although Natalie thought Cedric was untrustworthy, she didn’t have any other option right now!
