Chapter 210 The Puppet Master

The night was chaotic and tumultuous!

Natalie received several calls from Karina while she was waiting by Irwin’s side.

As Karina was in charge of the eastern suburbs project, she would be the first to receive any updates if

anything happened on–site.

That was how Natalie knew that something had happened in the eastern suburbs!

The people involved in the incident were not ordinary people. They were all very important and capable

people under Irwin, and Stella was also part of the group who were on site!

“Why did it collapse? Investigate the situation!” Natalie’s heart tightened.

This project was now in trouble, and their studio was inevitably involved.

On the phone, Karina said, “I’ll investigate the situation. You go back to Simeria for now, okay?”

Natalie was silent.

alalle was silent.

Go back to Simeria?

She just remembered that she had promised her uncle to arrange the work at Sylvan Gems and return

to Simeria for a while.

But in just one day, so much had happened in her world.

What should she do now?

“I know what you’re thinking, but the situation is not that simple right now. I think it’s better for you to

stay away,” Karina advised.

“Can I really avoid it?” Natalie questioned.

The incident that had happened in the eastern suburbs had been sudden. As a designer, she knew that

these things didn’t happen overnight..

If it was a trap, it must have been set up when the eastern suburbs project started.

Could it be Cedric’s doing?

Everything was in chaos!

Natalie’s mind was completely in disarray. Karina continued on the phone, “At least for now, it’s not

Natalie pubconsciously looked at the man sitting in the corridor smoking one cigarette after another,

surrounded by cigarette butts.

Her eyebrows furrowed.

“Okay, I understand.”

Natalie finally listened to Karina’s advice. After all, she was still one of Stephen’s people.

In essence, although she was now the CEO of Sylvan Gems, she had been a designer before this. Her

MIES MOIN situation was expertise was in design work. Now that problems arose in her her good at

all.

In the few months she had spent learning from her uncle, she realized it was insufficient.

After ending the call with Karina, Natalie approached Irwin. Despite her petite stature, she was only

slightly shorter than Irwin when he was seated.

At this moment, she seemed like a child who had done something wrong when she stood before him.

“Have you found out the cause?” Natalie asked anxiously.

She knew Irwin didn’t want to discuss work right now. From Zane’s tone, she could sense what Stella

meant to Irwin.

The Frazier family was a big family!

To be blunt, after his mother’s death, the only person in the Frazier family who accepted him was

Stella. She was the only family Irwin had in this world.

However, something had now happened to his only family because of his project.

“Dylan.”

Irwin didn’t directly answer her question but instead called Dylan, who was dealing with urgent matters

on the phone.

Hearing his voice, Dylan quickly hung up the phone and hurried over.

*Sir!**

Take Ms. Walker home!?

Ms. Welker?

Natalie’s heart turned cold.

Dylan approached Natalie and respectfully said, “Ms. Walker, Mr. Frazier isn’t feeling his best right now.

Why don’t you head home for now?”

Natalie was speechless.

She glanced at Irwin. There was a chilling look in his eyes, and they were devoid of the warmth from

before. Only an endless indifference remained, and it made her throat feel tight.

Upon hearing about him being in the hospital, Natalie’s thoughts about Irwin were similar to how Bianca

felt about her when she went to the hospital–especially when she learned that it was Stella, his own

younger sister, who was involved.

She thought Irwin might need her, just as she needed Bianca.

However…!

She stood up and nodded to Dylan. When she tried to say something to Irwin, the words that reached

her lips were stifled when she saw his cold and ruthless expression.

She had driven herself here, but she didn’t refuse Dylan. She had received no answers the whole night

and hoped to learn something from Dylan.

Walking alongside Dylan to the car, Natalie said, “I can get home on my own.”

“Do you need me to accompany you?”

Dylan thought she might not want to drive right now.

But Natalie shook her head. She only said, “What exactly happened in the eastern suburbs?”

“How did it happen?”

She was deeply involved in the eastern suburb project, after all. So, Natalie was extremely worried

about

the situation.

When she asked about it, Dylan’s expression turned serious. “Didn’t you hear anything from the studio

yet?

“No.” Natalie felt her heart tighten along with Dylan’s serious expression.

Looking at her, Dylan said, “Right now, it’s likely that there was an issue with the dimensions during the

design phase.

How is that possible?”

Dimensions? She knew that during the design process of a building, accuracy in measuring the

dimensions required for the appearance was crucial.

If the dimensions were off, the construction process wouldn’t proceed smoothly. In some severe cases,

problems might arise shortly after completion. If there were issues with the dimensions, the designer, in

this case, would face legal consequences.

Seeing Natalie’s pale expression, Dylan said, “The investigation is still ongoing, and we need to wait for

the results for specific details.”

Although that was the official statement, Natalie’s mind was buzzing, and she couldn’t hear what Dylan

was saying anymore.

When Dylan turned to leave, he looked back at Natalie. The reluctance was clear on his face, but he

still offered a reminder.

“Ms. Walker, I’m telling you now… If it turns out to be a problem with the design dimensions, your

relationship with Mr. Frazier might end here.”

End here?

Would everything between them really end like this?

Natalie’s heart not only tightened then. It descended into complete chaos.

Irwin….

Even without Dylan’s reminder, Natalie clearly knew what Stella’s existence meant to him.

If the issue indeed originated from her design, then the relationship between her and Irwin, not to

mention a working partnership, would be completely over.

And if she stayed in Verde City… Natalie had to admit that the current situation she faced was quite

dire.
