Chapter 305 Jealousy
At Peach Garden, it took Cedric quite a while to recover from his momentary daze.
He must have lost his mind earlier to have said those things to Natalie…!
Back then, he and Natalie had been together for seven years, and she still didn’t know his true
identity. She only knew about it when Rebecca had come knocking on their door…!
So, how could he have implied that she had gotten together with him for money?
“Madam, you’re back.”
Cedric heard the butler’s respectful voice from outside and snapped out of his thoughts.
With clear anger in her voice, Natalie retorted, “You need to change how you address me, or I’ll ensure you’re out of a job immediately.”
Her tone was arrogant and domineering, but Cedric couldn’t help but smile with indulgence.
If she had a sliver of her current temper in her previous life, those who had bullied her then would have paid the price.
Unfortunately…
She had been so gentle and obedient back then.
Until the very end, when she lost her sight, her most resolute act was to propose a divorce.
Natalie walked into the room with the butler following nervously behind her.
The smile remained on Cedric’s l*ps, looking more indulgent than ever.
“Did you forget anything important?”
“Who is it?” Natalie said, cutting to the chase.
Cedric looked at her frosty expression, the amusement in his eyes gradually fading away.
Naturally, he knew what Natalie was asking about.
There were only a few things right now that would cause Natalie to lose her composure,
one of it was information about Bianca.
and
Nothing relating to him would affect Natalie, not even Isabella.
Cedric couldn’t discern the true nature of her feelings towards him at the moment, but it was crystal clear when it came to Bianca.
Bianca was crucial to her.
+25 BONUS
She was more crucial than anyone else.
If he could, Cedric wanted to take Natalie back to their past life, back to when they were in love.
“It was the Entes family, right?”
Seeing how Cedric remained silent, Natalie’s tone grew even colder.
Cedric’s expression changed.
Looking at Natalie’s eyes, he saw a sharpness he hadn’t expected.
“It seems I’ve underestimated the people around you,” Cedric said in a somewhat chilling
tone.
Clearly, he hadn’t expected the people Stephen sent to Natalie to have such capabilities. He didn’t expect they would find clues leading them to the Entes family.
If they could discover something about the Entes family, who knew what else they could do?
Things were different now!
He had known that Natalie was different from her past self. But now, watching her, he felt even more convinced she was beyond his control.
Natalie gazed at the dim light in Cedric’s eyes, and her heart grew colder.
“Was it really the Entes family?”
“Natalie, now that you know it’s the Entes family, you should also know what kind of people
Bianca has offended.”
Natalie stayed silent.
The Entes family!
They controlled almost everything in Simeria, and Natalie knew that.
Everyone knew what kind of existence the Entes family had in Simeria. Every member of their family held a dominant position in various fields in their current generation.
They were such a vast and powerful family.
Even Natalie wouldn’t dare provoke any member of the Entes family if they were before her.
She never expected Bianca to have offended such a family. What was there to say about her?
Natalie met Cedtic’s eyes and asked coldly, “Who was it?”
Even after Cedric’s revelation and although he mentioned the influential figure behind this matter, Natalie still insisted on knowing.
+25 BONUS
“Natalie!” Cedric spoke again, his tone colder.
“Who was it?”
“Do you still need to ask?”
“Yes!”
“Is she that important to you?”
Was Bianca important enough that Natalie insisted on asking who took her away, even when she knew who they were?
Yes, she was!
Cedric had practically hissed those words through gritted teeth.
It seemed like Bianca’s importance in Natalie’s heart had surpassed everything. Natalie looked at the man before her.
From her past life to the present, Bianca was the only constant in her life. Everything else had changed, but Bianca was always there.
In Natalie’s past life, Bianca was the only pillar in her world. In this life, Bianca continued to hold that position as well.
“Yes, Bianca is very important to me. Her significance exceeds everything else,” Natalie stated.
Bianca’s importance to her even surpassed Cedric’s.
Cedric naturally caught the implications in the latter part of her statement. His eyes grew darker, and the atmosphere between them became colder.
The air seemed to freeze, and everyone present held their breath, fearing they might be affected.
The two locked eyes for what felt like an eternity.
A buzzing sound interrupted the intense atmosphere–the ringing of a phone.
Cedric took out his phone, and the screen displayed the name ‘Bella.‘
Natalie also saw it.
The already cold atmosphere turned even frostier
Natalie smirked. “The importance of Bianca in my heart is just like Isabella’s importance in your heart!”
Cedric remained silent at her words. When he heard her words, he couldn’t help but tremble.
sanger burned brightly in his eyes as he looked at Natalin.
“What kind of existence do you think Isabella is in my heart?” He asked mockingly.
Natalie raised an eyebrow. “What, do you need me to remind you?”
+25 BONUS
From the past life to the present, Isabella had occupied a very important place by his side. It was a fact that Natalie probably didn’t need to remind him of.
However, what Natalie didn’t anticipate is that even so, Cedric would still pester her like this!
After arriving in this new life, Natalie always felt she couldn’t understand Cedric.
And now… she felt even more clueless, especially about what was on his mind or what he was hiding behind him.
Even his feelings… she had never understood them.
Without waiting for the man to say anything, Natalie turned away.
At this point, she knew she couldn’t get anything from Cedric. The once open and honest relationship had become one filled with secrets on both sides.
She wouldn’t confess everything to Cedric, and he, in turn, would never be open with her.
She got into the car, and Leon saw how pale she was. The concern was evident in his eyes asked, “How was it?”
“Let’s go to the company first,” Natalie replied in an unpleasant tone.
eyes as he
Hearing Natalie’s response, Leon understood she likely hadn’t obtained any information.
useful
Cedric’s car zoomed past them, which showed how important Isabella’s affairs were to him.
Natalie’s l*ps curled into a cold smile.
What could she say about this man?
In her
past life, witnessing him go after Isabella would cause her pain.
But now, she only found the situation ridiculous.
Perhaps, as she had just told Cedric, he wasn’t as important to her now as Bianca was.
However, Isabella’s position in his heart, both in this life and the past, had numbed her once peaceful heart.
