Chapter 188 Remarry Me
Bang!
Natalie slammed the tray in her hand heavily on the small table.
The sound clearly conveyed Natalie’s current dissatisfaction.
The man showed no signs of anger!
“You seem quite unhappy?”
“Should I be feeling something else?”
“Remarry me, and your days will be better. Just like before, you do whatever you want, hmm?”
Natalie sneered.
The phrase “do whatever you want” made it sound as if she had been so carefree by his side before!
“It wasn’t like I could do whatever I wanted to do by your side before! Cedric, do you think too highly of
yourself?”
The mockery in her tone was so obvious.
Evidently, she was ridiculing him for not being able to protect even his own wife.
The man emerged from the bed, taking long strides toward her.
His tone finally carried a hint of annoyance. “Are those things in the past still unforgivable in your eyes?”
“What, you think I’m going too far?”
“Natalie!”
Natalie met the man’s angry gaze.
Cedric hadn’t rested well, and his temper was not the best in the morning. That combination with Natalie’s provocation did nothing but further agitate him.
You should eat!

under Investigation, Cedric couldn’t allow Natalie to leave his side

So, he wanted to repair their relationship regardless of the outcome of the investigations. After all, none of them were having a good time in this situation. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“If apologizing would work, I’d say the same to you. I’m sorry I met you. Can you let me go?”
“You…”
This mouth of hers!
Cedric had to admit that he couldn’t handle Natalie’s current speaking style.
“This won’t benefit you!”
He was referring to those things.
The implied meaning was clear to Natalie.
Her already unpleasant expression instantly darkened even more upon hearing those words.
“I’ll compensate you for two projects!”
In the
In the end, Natalie was annoyed by his persistencel
She would rather compensate him for two projects than continue to be involved with him!
“Do you think it’s just those two projects that’s the problem between us?”
“Do you want me to return the assets that you gave me when we divorced? Is that it? You can have it!”
“You damn woman!”
It was getting more and more outrageous.
Cedric couldn’t take it anymore; he swept her off her feet and jumped into the bed!
He didn’t care that Natalie was struggling in his arms! He wanted to punish her this way, to make her
understand that she couldn’t provoke him!
He really missed how Natalie used to be.
Back then, she was so gentle. Every time he was with her, hearing her voice and listening to her speak
a kind of enjoyment.

Either because of him… or because of the people from the Johnson family.
“Argh…!
A sharp pain in his neck made him finally release her.
Now free, Natalie stood by the bed and looked at him coldly!
The unfamiliarity and disgust in her eyes were so obvious.
Cedric’s anger grew stronger at that. He touched his neck, noting that there was some blood from where
she had scratched him.
He was just about to say something when his phone vibrated. No one was supposed to disturb them
today.
But upon seeing it was a call from Lucas, Cedric answered anyway.
“Hello.”
“Mr. Johnson!”
“What is it?!”
Cedric’s tone contained some displeasure at being disturbed.
Lucas hesitated on the other end, but then he summoned the courage and quickly said, I’ve checked it all, sir. Before and after that period, Madam encountered nothing else except online harassment!”
The so–called life–threatening situation didn’t exist either.
Upon hearing this, Cedric subconsciously glanced at Natalie.
His gaze became even more mysterious!
“Okay, I got it.” After saying that, he hung up the phone.
He gazed deeply into Natalie’s eyes.
Before this!
the series of events that happened, the evidence had always pointed in the same direction. It made it
for people to think that it obviously had something to do with Natalle.
was reviewing everything again, there were suddenly many doubts. When he looked
pened together, it was suddenly very confusing
+15 BONUS
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Natalie felt uncomfortable under his sharp gaze, and her tone reflected how displeased she felt.
Cedric frowned and stared at Natalie silently.
“Did you really have nothing to do with everything that happened previously?” he finally asked.
Cedric knew that Natalie had already explained this to him before. But at this moment, his gaze was fixed on her face when he asked the question. He didn’t want to miss any changes in her expression.
Natalie didn’t expect him to suddenly ask this question. She laughed mockingly and said, “Does it matter?”
Regardless of whether it had anything to do with her or not, Cedric would always assume it was related to
her.
In that case, what was the point of repeatedly explaining it?
“Natalie!”
“You believe whatever you want to believe. Isn’t that right?”
Cedric had always been that way. It wasn’t about whether he trusted her or not. Cedric didn’t believe
anyone else.
The only person he trusted was himself!
And he also believed in evidence!
He never cared about how the evidence was obtained or if there was something more to it!
And since the previous evidence all pointed to Natalie being at fault… Did Cedric care about anything else
other than that?
No!
He never did!
Now that so much has happened, he came to her for an explanation?!
How truly ironicl
They stored at each other silently. Cedric was irritated, and he ran a hand through his hair. There were just
some things that couldn’t withstand scrutiny!
all evidence had pointed to Natalie in the past, Cedric had no doubts about it.
+15 BONUS
But now, when something else was presented before him…!
None of it matched up!
Currently, all the evidence still pointed to Natalie, but there were some subtle things hidden within it!
The bank transfer records were one of the most concrete pieces of evidence that made Natalie the
culprit.
Based on that, Natalie had done it all!
But when connected with her call records, things… seemed a bit complicated!
Cedric always wanted Natalie to be in Scarlet Villa. He held something that forced Natalie to comply!
As he held Natalie under his control, he was also investigating the past events at the same time!
Lucas arrived at Scarlet Villa.
“Mr. Johnson!”
“Was there really nothing?”
When Lucas had called him previously, he mentioned that nothing else had happened to Natalie except
that she had endured online harassment.
Lucas nodded, “Yes, sir. There was nothing!”
Cedric closed his eyes. When he opened them again, a sharp glint was in them.
“Go check another number!”
Cedric handed the number to Lucas.
“What’s this? Lucas frowned!
Cedric said, “The kidnapper’s phone number!”
It was the primary kidnapper’s contact back then

She was once such a gentle woman before him, and now she was the CEO of Sylvan Gems!
So, the Natalie who was with him before…
He didn’t want to doubt her. He even wanted to give her all his trust.
But things had reached this point.
He had to be cautious!
Natalie was right.
Cedric never trusted anyone. He only trusted himself!
He… trusted the evidence.
Since the evidence was problematic, he would investigate it. He wouldn’t easily trust a person, even if that person was someone he loved!
