Chapter 493 A Tough Nut to Crack 

Irwin turned to Shawn and commanded, “Go. Prepare everything immediately.” 

“Irwin.” Natalie’s tone grew increasingly firm. 

Her head was already throbbing, and with each passing moment, it felt as though her headache intensified. 

“Give me the phone first.” 

Observing Irwin’s behavior, Natalie was certain. 

Casey must have discovered something. 

Was the call… from Casey? 

Ever since Dylan departed, Irwin had been acting strangely. 

If someone were to tell Natalie that there wasn’t any progress on the investigation, she wouldn’t believe it! 

She had to admit that Casey certainly possessed some capability. 

At this moment, Natalie fully grasped the challenges Clyde had faced and the position he now occupied. The people around him spoke volumes about his journey. 

“After we return from Mount Elven, I’ll give it to you,” Irwin replied calmly. 

“You….” Natalie’s anger surged. 

Hearing Irwin’s response only heightened her emotions. Her phone kept vibrating, momentarily pausing before starting again. 

In the end, Irwin expedited their departure and whisked Natalie away in a helicopter. As the lights of the night grew dimmer below, Natalie exclaimed, “Do you think this will stop me?!” 

The more they resisted, the more Natalie suspected the matter was intricate. 

Could this be related to the Jarvis family? 

The depth of her gaze towards Irwin intensified with her thoughts. 

Irwin responded, “I’m not trying to stop you.” 

“Hah!” Natalie scoffed. 

With what he was doing, how could he claim that he wasn’t trying to stop her? 

It was already late at night, and Natalie’s tone was unpleasant as she asked, “How long?!”

“Nat?” 

“How long are we staying at Mount Elven?” 

Wexford was in chaos right now, and suddenly, Irwin wanted to take her on a vacation to Mount Elven?! 

Irwin replied, “How does a month sound?” 

A month?! 

That was a considerable amount of time. 

Natalie gazed at him with a hint of sarcasm, “You think you can last that long with me?” 

“I won’t know unless I try,” Irwin shot back confidently. 

Natalie fell silent. 

Her initial sarcasm seemed to only fuel her own anger now. Suddenly, Irwin leaned closer. Before Natalie could react, he cradled her face in his hands, and his warm breath brushed against her skin. 

With a mysterious tone, he whispered, “Since you’ve seen the information Casey provided, you should know I’m quite formidable.” 

“You all are,” Natalie retorted with increased sarcasm. 

After all, wasn’t that the truth? 

“As for a month…” Natalie’s voice trailed off, deepening in intensity. 

Irwin was silent. 

Natalie didn’t finish her sentence, but it was clear to her that this situation was far from 

simple. 

Irwin remained silent. 

Given the current circumstances, it was evident! 

After her outburst, Natalie realized she couldn’t change the fact that they were headed to Mount Elven now. So, she calmed down and appeared less anxious than before. 

Natalie knew that since Casey was aware, Clyde must also know about it. 

Irwin might be able to keep her restrained for a month, but could he do it forever? 

Moreover, a month was a long time. 

Could he truly manage?

Irwin took Natalie to Mount Elven. 

Meanwhile, when Cedric arrived at the Terra Manor, he spotted Casey standing at the entrance. 

She was clad in a leather jacket and combat boots. Her cropped hair gave her a rugged and dashing appearance, 

Although Lucas had already relayed the information to Cedric, seeing Casey appear at the Terra Manor in the dead of night stirred a dangerous sensation within him. 

Lucas returned. “Your Excellency.” 

“What’s the situation?”
