hapter 471 Showdown 

What a pity! 

Cedric had never let her go, but now he expected her to stop?! 

It was too late! 

Bang! 

The moment the taxi door slammed shut, it felt as if that door had also struck Cedric’s heart deeply. 

Back at the manor, Natalie observed the tul*ps scattered throughout the place. 

Her mind was in a mess. 

Even though Natalie had told Irwin not to wait for her for lunch, the spread on the dining table was still 

catered to her tastes. 

It seemed as if 

with her. 

Win knew she would return, so he had waited until one in the afternoon before eating 

“The flavor seems different from this morning,” she remarked, though it still had the essence of Simeria. 

Natalie had a keen palate. She could instantly tell that the chef was different from the one who had prepared breakfast. 

The man across from her took a sip of his red wine. Then, he looked directly at Natalie and casually said, If they can mistake even the taste of milk, there’s no reason for them to stay.” 

His words were nonchalant. 

Natalie gazed indifferently at Irwin, whose eyes remained gentle as he looked at her. 

Yet, beneath that gentleness, Natalie felt a chilling detachment in him. 

Such a man, showcasing his most tender side while engaging in such dark deeds, was truly terrifying. 

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Irwin asked as he set down his wine glass. 

With a faint smile, Natalie replied, “I find you terrifying.” 

She was direct, leaving no room for pretense.

Irwin chuckled. “Once, perhaps I was.” 

But not anymore. 

“I’m done eating,” Natalie announced, setting down her spoon abruptly. 

In truth, facing Irwin made her lose her appetite. 

“You’ve barely eaten. Have some more.” His tone was insistent, but Natalie didn’t respond and headed 

straight upstairs. 

Watching her leave, Irwin sighed in frustration. 

This woman was such a wildcat…! 

When Dylan arrived, Irwin was still there and drinking a glass of red wine. His demeanor revealed the 

turmoil he was currently in. 

“Sir.” 

“Hmm?” 

“That man went to see her when she was leaving Glory Road,” Dylan said with a grave tone. 

Cedric? 

Irwin’s already furrowed brow deepened upon hearing Dylan’s words. “So, he has so little patience, huh?” 

Irwin guessed that Natalie must have done it on purpose. She had Clyde’s people investigate Wexford while ensuring Cedric and Irwin knew about it. 

What was she planning? 

No doubt, she wanted to stir up chaos! 

“What’s the situation between Cedric and the Schneider family now?” 

“Ms. Schneider went over there.” 

“When?” 

“Just a moment ago!” 

Irwin’s headache intensified., 

The nature of the Schneider family’s involvement in Wexford was well–known to those concerned. 

+15 BONUS 

And now, within just three days of arriving at Wexford, Natalie had made such a grand move. It was 

obvious that everyone knew who she was by now. 

Evidently, Natalie was deliberately stirring the pot. She was not just targeting Cedric but also exacting 

revenge on irwin. 

Sighing deeply, Irwin pondered, unsure of what to say or do at this juncture. 

Dylan looked at Irwin with concern and asked, “So, what do we do now?”
