Chapter 279 Quite a Temper

Lucas was clearly aware of what Natalie had done. He had to admit that Natalie’s audacity knew

no bounds.

After taking such an action, she even called him to inform him that she had the car driven into

Lament River.

Lucas said, “After Madam left this afternoon, she had her people drive the car to Lament River.

Cedric was silent.

His face instantly stiffened, and even the corner of his eye couldn’t help but twitch. Despite being

extravagant himself, he couldn’t help but label Natalie as a wasteful woman in his heart

at this moment.

“Madam has quite a temper now!” Lucas couldn’t help but comment.

He couldn’t fathom where she had the nerve to order such an expensive car be sent to Lament River

like this.

Lucas and the others had all been with Cedric before. Naturally, they knew what kind of person Natalie

used to be.

People’s characters were definitely different in different positions.

The once gentle Natalie Walker was completely gone.

“That’s quite a temper indeed,” Cedric said as he got into the car. Although it was a bit painful to think

about what happened to his car, his tone was filled with indulgence.

When Natalie finished work in the evening, Karina was alerted to the fact that she had driven-

the day.

Karina couldn’t help but say, “Madam would still worry about you driving even on days when the

weather and all other conditions are good, so she never allowed you to drive!”

“If she knew you drove in this weather today, she would be extremely worried!” Karina expressed her

concern.

It was true.

Since Natalie’s vision had been Impaired, she only drove occasionally, and only when all conditions

were favorable She definitely wouldnt touch the car in such weather.

Natalie would be in fora lecture if Heather knew about this.

Natalie replied, “Just don’t let her know.”

If Heather really found out, dealing with the situation would be a headache.

Karina said worriedly, “Then, you shouldn’t do things that worry people in the future!”

Natalie nodded. “Okay, got it.”

Karina sighed in relief but couldn’t help adding, “Still, you should listen to Madam.”

“Okay.”

“After all, Madam..”

“Enough!”

Natalie felt that the people around her were becoming more and more nagging.

Then, Irwin called. He wanted to pick her up for dinner.

“Maybe we can skip it tonight. I want to go back and accompany my aunt,” Natalie politely declined.

Since Cedric appeared in Simeria, Irwin seemed to be making more and more plans with her.

Natalie naturally sensed the unusualness in the situation. The relationship between her and Irwin had

seemed to be constantly progressing, but now it felt like it was getting faster!

“That’s fine. The weather isn’t great today. Why don’t I have Yves go over instead?” Irwin suggested.

“No need, Leon is here,” Natalie replied.

“Alright.” The man on the other end of the phone didn’t dwell on it.

It had to be said that Natalie was different now.

She had many capable people around her, and she could still protect herself adequately, event without

anyone.

No wonder people say that men didn’t like their women to stand too high. Once they do, they end up on

a different path–a path called loneliness.

Because they would be fine standing alone and didn’t need anyone.

In the end, Natalie didn’t have dinner with Irwin However, on her way back, she was preoccupied.

When she finally arrived at Lotus Villa, Natalie glanced at Leon.

“What’s wrong?”

“I have something to tell you, but don’t let Uncle know,” Natalie said after thinking for a

while.

Leon felt a sudden jolt in his heart when he heard this, especially seeing Natalie’s serious

expression.

“What is it?

Natalie said, “It’s about Irwin and Cedric.”

Although she urgently wanted to get to the bottom of things, there were also matters around her that

needed to be sorted out.

The photo she saw in the study suggested that Irwin and Cedric’s relationship was not simple.

She initially wanted to let someone unrelated to the Jarvis family investigate discreetly, but when they

heard Irwin’s name, they outright refused.

Natalie could only entrust this matter to the people around her.

Her close associates were mostly Stephen’s people. Often, any movement or information would reach

his ears first.

That was why she hesitated initially.

“Are you planning to investigate them?”

“I want to know about their past.”

“When exactly in the past?” Leon asked.

Natalie hesitated. This question stumped her.

When exactly in the past?

Knowing certain things from a distant past wasn’t always easy. However, she could almost confirm that

during her ten years with Cedric, Irwin wasn’t part of Cedric’s world.

However, Irwin and Cedric did share a unique connection, and she vaguely sensed something more to

their relationship.

Once the relationship between Irwin and Cedric was unveiled, Natalie would finally

understand where she stood between them.

About twelve years ago!” Natalie thought for a moment and replied.

Twelve years ago

That was before she and Cedric began their relationship.

Leon furrowed his brows.

“What’s wrong?” Natalie asked.

“It’s too far back in the past. It won’t be easy to investigate,” Leon directly pointed out.

And what he said was true.

Twelve years!

It was just a number when spoken, but when confronted with that number, it held great weight.

Even if it were twelve months, a lot could happen.

“It doesn’t matter how long it takes. Take your time to investigate.”

“Alright.” Leon nodded.

Natalie was determined. She wasn’t driven by mere curiosity; it was the strong feeling she got after

seeing that photo.

She felt that the beginning of her relationship with Cedric wasn’t simple, and Irwin’s involvement in her

world wasn’t straightforward either.

“Why not just ask Mr. Frazier directly, or inquire with Mr. Johnson?” Leon suggested.

After all, asking the two people involved in the matter directly was the most straightforward approach.

Natalie thought about Irwin’s previous answers, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

Her eyes were clear!

She believed that if Irwin had given her such an answer, Cedric would likely do the same.

“When it comes to some things… Would you believe him even if he answered you?”

Leon was silent.

He understood.

Since some answers from the other party were unreliable, it might be better to avoid asking in the first

place.
