Chapter 491 Taken Away by Force
“What you’re thinking right now is merely to cover things up as much as possible! After meeting our young mistress twice, I’ve come to understand that she’s not easily fooled.”
“And don’t you think your reactions towards her have been a bit excessive lately?”
Lucas was silent. At Casey’s words, his already grim expression darkened even further.
There was no denying it.
Casey was speaking the truth.
Whether it was Cedric or Irwin, their reactions were overly intense when Casey intervened in this matter. Because Casey was one of Clyde’s people, and they knew all too well what it meant to be associated with Clyde.
“It’s only a matter of time before the truth was revealed.”
So, what’s the point of hiding anything?
Besides, Natalie isn’t someone easily fooled, either.
Whatever had caused such a strong reaction from both Cedric and Irwin was certainly not a simple matter.
A flimsy excuse wouldn’t suffice.
“Casey!”
“Mr. Smith, please leave.”
“You…”
“It seems you haven’t really understood me over these years!”
Lucas fell silent. At her words, a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
However, in the next moment, an even colder light glimmered in Casey’s eyes. Danger emanated from the very air around them.
Finally, Lucas stood up to leave. But just as he did, Casey stopped him and said, “It seems our young mistress holds a significant place in the heart of your master.”
Indeed.
Natalie must hold quite an important position.
Otherwise, why would Cedric react so strongly when Natalie began to investigate this matter

Chapter 490 She’s With Irwin
In Wexford, Irwin and Cedric were both anxiously concerned that Natalie might discover something.
As this tension thickened, Lucas suddenly appeared at Casey’s villa. Both of them emanated a visible tension, and the atmosphere around them felt charged with urgency.
The person before him was clearly a woman, but she was dressed as a man. Lucas furrowed his brows and asked, “How many people know you’re a woman?”
Everyone had been referring to Casey as a man because they had thought she was one.
Casey paused, taken aback.
Not many in Wexford knew that she was indeed a woman.
Casey had met Natalie twice, but Natalie was also likely unaware and had forgotten that Clyde had once told her that Casey was a woman.
“What’s it to you?” Casey’s tone grew cold.
“You…!”
“Get to the point,” Casey interjected impatiently. Over the years, their interactions had been minimal. She detested when people brought up her gender, as if being a woman made her less competent.
Given that few knew her secret in Wexford, it was rarely ever mentioned.
Since that was the
way Casey was acting, Lucas got straight to the pot. “Our master doesn’t
want you to present Ms. Russell’s information to Madam!”
“Hah!” Upon hearing his directness, Casey let out a sarcastic laugh.
While the laugh was an immediate response, its masculinity made it sharper than usual.
“State your terms,” Lucas demanded.
Terms? Seriously?!
Seeing as he was so direct, it seemed he came prepared!
Before Casey could respond, Lucas continued, “If you think I don’t have the authority, you can discuss it with our master.
Cedric? No way.
“I won’t see him!” Casey was straightforward, cutting right to the chase.

And Irwin…!
Watching Natalie’s recent actions, it seemed these two would face consequences from her once she knew the truth.
As Lucas began to walk away, he heard Casey’s voice from behind, “Pass along a message to your master. He shouldn’t think about doing anything to me. After all, Mr. Yarbrough is already aware of everything now.”
As Casey finished speaking, the sharpness in Lucas’s gaze towards her intensified.
“Ever since Ms. Walker set foot in Wexford, matters concerning Mr. Johnson and Mr. Frazier have been out of their control!”
Once upon a time, why had Cedric never allowed Natalie to know about Wexford?
Beyond his desire to protect her, there was also a deeper concern–he feared how she would react upon learning the truth.
If…
If Natalie hadn’t experienced the incidents involving Isabella and Kayla while by Cedric’s side, these revelations might not have been such a big deal to her.
But circumstances had changed.
For Natalie, questions about her position in Cedric’s heart had always lingered. Now, with all this information coming to light, the implications were earth–shattering.
It was the same with Irwin.
If he had never manipulated Natalie, his involvement in these matters wouldn’t have been so significant.
Lucas stepped out of Casey’s villa.
Cedric was silent as he listened to Lucas‘ report. Once Lucas was done, the atmosphere grew even colder within the confined space.
“Clyde knows?”
The chill in the man’s voice was unmistakable.
Lucas nodded. “Yes, sir.”
If that was the case, things had spiraled out of control!

“Didn’t we have people watching them? How did matters escalate to this extent? Cedric’s tone showed a hint of frustration, clearly displeased with how events had unfolded.
