Chapter 489 Don’t Let Natalie Find Out
Clyde stated firmly, “She has the right to know.”
“Yes, sir.”
Clyde had to admit that the matter at hand… the way Cedric and Irwin had handled it years ago. had been quite meticulous.
Despite spending so many years in Wexford, Clyde remained unaware of the intricate
animosities between Irwin and Cedric, much less the significant events that had transpired in Wexford back then.
While other involvements could be overlooked, the fact that his sister was now entangled was another story altogether.
Hah!
However, observing Natalie’s recent tumultuous experiences in Wexford, Clyde felt relatively untroubled.
He instructed, “Don’t meet Cedric and Irwin. Inform Nat directly.”
“As you wish, sir.”
“Also…”
A cold glint flashed in Clyde’s eyes as he pondered. Knowing Natalie’s actions and demeanor in Wexford, he was certain she wasn’t someone easily manipulated.
If she were to discover this information, Wexford would be thrown into chaos,
“Have Whitney accompany her,” he decided.
“Understood.”
Upon hearing the instruction for Whitney Larson to accompany Natalie, Casey realized the gravity of the situation. It was undoubtedly more complicated than she initially thought.
The moment Clyde hung up the phone, a chill intensified in his eyes.
When Stephen entered the room and caught sight of Clyde’s chilling gaze, he felt an involuntary shiver up his spine.
Clyde’s instincts were sharp. By the time Stephen stepped into the study, he had already masked his frosty demeanor.
“Cly.”
“Yes?” Clyde responded.

A hint of disappointment flickered in Stephen’s eyes at the man’s response. Clyde had yet to refer to Stephen and Heather as his parents.
“Was it Nat who connected the Schneider family and Cedric?” Stephen inquired.
“Yes,” Clyde nodded.
Stephen’s expression darkened at the revelation.
Clearly, he hadn’t anticipated that matters between Natalie and Cedric had escalated to such a level.
However, considering Cedric’s actions towards Natalie and the hardships she endured during that period, Stephen couldn’t find it within himself to forgive him either. Natalie had faced immense challenges and dangers during the birth of Luna.
How could she ever allow Cedric to treat Luna in such a manner?
Stephen sighed deeply.
Clyde declared, “Their matters will come to a resolution this time.”
Stephen responded, “That’s easier said than done. Given the current situation, it’s unlikely to
be that simple.”
This was the very aspect that concerned Stephen the most. The complexities between Natalie and Cedric over the years, coupled with the recent developments, left him with an indescribable sense of unease.
After all, Natalie had endured so much pain because of Cedric. As a father, this was something Stephen couldn’t easily overlook.
Clyde continued, “It’s complicated, but thankfully… she remains steadfast.”
Stephen pondered Clyde’s words.
Steadfast?
Indeed.
Perhaps this was the one consolation for them. Natalie had been battered and bruised, yet she remained steadfast in her love for her family.
The most agonizing experience in this world is unrequited love..
Fortunately, after navigating countless hardships, Natalie had moved on. While the current situation was painful, the deeper anguish seemed to reside with Cedric.
At his age, Stephen’s perspectives had evolved beyond those of a younger man. What he genuinely desired was Natalie’s well–being. He understood that revenge was a double–edged

“I need you to keep a close watch on her, especially given the uncertainties in Wexford,” Stephen finally said, reflecting on the gravity of the situation.
Clyde nodded reassuringly. “Rest assured, I’ll ensure she’s protected.”
“Good,” Stephen acknowledged, feeling somewhat relieved upon hearing Clyde’s
commitment.
