Chapter 180 Bankrupt Him
Natalie sneered and ignored Christina. She wasn’t even bothered to respond.
Instead, she opened the door and got into the car without a word.
Seeing Natalie ignore her, Christina rushed forward and grabbed Natalie’s car window with both hands.
“Natalie, are you feeling proud now?”
“There’s nothing to be proud of, don’t you think?”
“I don’t have
ma to pot for that anyway
Natalie seemed indifferent, which contrasted sharply with Christina’s anger.
Sometimes, indifference was the most cutting response. While one person meticulously planned and
schemed, the other was too preoccupied to care.
“I’m buying those things with my own money! Why won’t you sell to me? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll report
you?”
“Report me for what? Sylvan Gems‘ items are limited edition every year. If you can’t buy them, it’s because
you’re too slow!”
“You…”
“Is there anything else?”
“Natalie, don’t be too arrogant!”
“Let go!” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Natalie didn’t want to engage in this boring conversation. She glanced at Christina’s hand on her car
window, her tone stern and icy.
Undoubtedly, Natalie’s attitude made Christina feel a wave of embarrassment. Natalie was a tough nut to
crack.
wait to see the day you fall Christina glared at her fiercely and hissed through gritted teeth.
Natalle met her crimson eyes with a cold glint in her.
backed down
“I don’t know if I’ll fall, but you… Why are you so anxious that you didn’t get the order? Did you make any
big promises?”
“Well, you better think about how you’ll endure the embarrassment at your banquet without the jewelry.
hmm?”
The air around Christina had turned icy cold. Just as she was about to explode, Natalie stepped on the
gas, and the car shot out like an arrow.
In order to dodge, Christina had to take several steps back.
“Natalie!” Christina clenched her fists, a fierce glint in her eyes.
Through the rearview mirror, Natalie saw Christina’s frustration and mocked her with a contemptuous
smile.
Christina might be cunning, but she genuinely cared about her image.
Of all the things to brag about, she had to say she would get her hands on jewelry from Sylvan Gems?
Hah! What a tall order!
In Radiant Tower, Cedric sat in a luxurious chair, emitting a chilling aura. In his hands, he held the call
records from Natalie’s number.
“Are they all here?”
“Yes, all the records from around the time of Isabella’s kidnapping are there,” Lucas respectfully replied.
Cedric examined them carefully. The further he looked, the tighter his heart became.
Undoubtedly, Natalie’s call records were mostly with him and Bianca. There were only a few calls from
the Johnson Manor,
Clearly, her connections were simple and straightforward..
Cedric then took out the file from the drawer. It was information on the transfer records.
He examined the times on it and noted it was a week before Isabella was kidnapped. In that timeframe, Cedric carefully compared Natalie’s call records,
During that record segment, there was almost nothing unusual!
After scrutinizing the money transfer records and cross–referencing with the timing of the communications, there was no connection at all.
Could it be that…!
The suspicions that arose in Cedric’s mind made his head go blank.
Closing his eyes, he concealed the chill that flashed through his eyes.
“Lucas!”
“Yes, sir!”
“Check on…”
Check on what?
In fact, there was no need to check anything.
Couldn’t he just ask Natalie directly? Before, he didn’t believe every word she said. But now, he had seen
the transfer and Natalie’s call records.
She hadn’t been lying.
“Check the account. I want to know its recent usage locations and times,” Cedric said as he handed
Natalie’s bank account information to Lucas.
Lucas took it and nodded understandingly.
“Also, don’t let Yuvan know about this.”
“I understand.”
On this point, Lucas was clear. After all, he didn’t know what Yuvan was up to before.
After Lucas left, Yuvan came in shortly afterward.
“Mr. Johnson.”
Has everything been settled?”
Yes, sir! Yuvan nodded.
He handed the folder to Cedric, who opened it. After glancing through it. Cedric nodded and said, “Hmm,
Looking at Cedric, he seemed like he wanted to ask something. Ultimately, he didn’t say
During this time, Yuvan knew about the reports in Verde City. He knew that Cedric and Natalie were
getting involved again.
He just felt it was so unfair to Isabella.
After Yuvan left, Cedric was once again alone in his office. The restlessness on his expression became evident, and he smoked three cigarettes in a row to elevate the feeling.
Then, he picked up his phone and called Natalie.
“What is it?” Natalie asked from the other end of the line.
Cedric glanced at the time on his watch. “It’s almost lunchtime. I’ll come pick you up.
“No need. I’ve already left the press conference.”
“Are you back at Sylvan Gems?”
“Yeah.”
“Then, I’ll come to you.
He wanted to see her right now.
During this time, there was always a voice in his heart telling him not to let her go far.
He mustn’t let her go far!
It felt like if Natalie wandered far enough, she would vanish, and he would lose her.
That thought made his heart tighten.
have another meeting later. I’m very busy!”
know.
Even so, what difference did it make? He still couldn’t resist his desires.
pinched her aching forehead, suppressing the anger in her tone. “Cedric, I currently have no plans.
Verde City!
d he have to presa on like this?!
When rumors were circulating about him and Isabella in her previous life, she only wanted him to accompany her for dinner.
However, it never happened.
Now, he clung to her every moment!
What a tragedy!
After hanging up on Cedric’s call, Stephen called her.
‘Uncle.”
“Theard about the press conference; you did welll”
“The new products this year are very successful. It shows your efforts in your work.”
“Of course, I’m serious about work!”
Natalie rarely showed a touch of pride. In the past, she didn’t have any job opportunities where she could
showcase herself.
Now, it was different. Since she was in this position, she naturally exerted all her efforts to stand out..
Her work attitude was something Stephen appreciated. In his eyes, Natalie is perfect in every way. She
hadn’t caused him any worries at work.
The only worry was her entanglement with Cedric,
“How are things on your end?” Without waiting for Stephen to ask about Cedric, Natalie first inquired
about the situation on Stephen’s side.
“Although the situation is not ideal, it’s within a manageable range.”
The description made Natalie’s heart tighten.
The desire to tear Cedric to pieces with her bare hands had grown even stronger now. te
till didn’t know how Cedric had managed to stir up enough trouble that Stephen was still saying
things were troublesome!
way the way, Irwin is retuming soon
