Chapter 67 Had Enough
However, who could have predicted that after a few hours of the press conference, Natalie confidently
spoke about her career plans and addressed the issues raised by reporters?
Isabella believed she would enjoy watching Natalie’s downfall. Instead, Natalie shifted all the blame
ontol
Cedric and Isabella.
“You just wanted to see her divorce your brother, but now what about me?” Isabella’s face turned
increasingly unpleasant as she thought about it.
She looked at Christina and continued, “Even though it seems like she’s pushing all the blame onto
your
brother with that apology, in actuality… it was me who pushed him to make her apologize!”
Without a doubt, the wind would blow in the direction Natalie wanted.
Isabella would face more challenges. She didn’t expect Natalie to strike back so skillfully. She had
underestimated her, thinking she was just a fragile woman.
Now, she realized that Natalie was a formidable opponent.
Christina was furious, and her face twisted into an ugly expression. “That bitch!”
Natalie showed remarkable resilience, enduring the long–lasting public scrutiny and online harassment.
Now, she had elevated herself to a new level, breaking free from her image as a full–time housewife.
Previously, everyone believed Natalie was a woman relying on her husband.
But now, what had the reporters called her?
Ms. Walker!
In a short time, she had made a place firmly for herself in the business world.
The more Isabella thought about it, the more intense her hatred became.
Why Natalie? What right did she have?!
Natalie left everyone exasperated.
When she returned to her office, she noticed something was amiss with her employees, Their eyes
Occasionally darted toward her office, and the atmosphere was tense.
Natalie likely knew what was happening.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe walked toward her office, exuding an air of confidence that others could rely on. She pushed the
door
open.
An icy chill rushed over her.
Cedric sat in her office chair, holding a cigarette. He hadn’t been a regular smoker in the past, but now,
there was a s
strong lingering scent of smoke around him. It made it hard to tolerate being in his presence.
“Have you gone mad?” Cedric hissed through clenched teeth.
He seemed ready to tear Natalie to pieces.
Natalie casually tossed her bag onto the small sofa. Then, she removed her coat and hung it up. The
entire process seemed so elegant, and over the years by his side, despite being suppressed by
Rebecca,
her innate characteristics gradually grew more noticeable.
In the past, she was merely a gorgeous sight to behold.
Now, these fluid motions conveyed a strong sense of dominance.
How could someone so petite exude such authority?
Once she was done, Natalie walked to her office desk. When she was about a meter away, she said
icily,” Please get up from my seat!”
Cedric was stunned!
Now, she was even…?
His eyes dimmed, and a mocking smile curled on his lips. “I thought you wouldn’t stoop to this. I never
expected you to resort to these tactics.”
He was referring to Natalie’s earlier performance in the live interview, where she portrayed herself as a
victim.
Natalie acknowledged that she had resembled a hypocrite during that scene. However, fighting fire with
fire didn’t seem
to be
Tactics? You’re giving me too much credit. I merely told the truth,” she replied.
After all, going to the hospital was his decision all along, always had been.
She hadn’t lied.
Cedric wouldn’t believe everything she told him, but others would! Many people in Verde City were
watching them.
“What you said might be true, but do you know how much damage you’ve done to her by saying it?
Haven’t you harmed her enough?”
Bam!
Natalie slammed her hand onto the desk. Her sharp, icy gaze was fixed on the man before her.
He had never seen this side of her before, and yet she stood there, a mere wisp of a woman, looking at
him.
Her gaze was piercing. If looks could kill, Cedric would probably be dead. There was also a heavy
sense
of hostility radiating from her.
Cedric’s initial anger wavered as he stared at the woman before him.
When she spoke, her tone was even colder than before. “Mr. Johnson, please mind your words. What
do you mean by I haven’t harmed her enough? Did you see me kidnap her? Did I blind her or
personally break her legs?”
Cedric fell into silence.
“I won’t accept these unfounded accusations!” Natalie added.
“You paid off those kidnappers! There was a huge sum of money that was transfered to their account
from yours,” Cedric stated.
“Hah!” Natalie sneered
So, was he going to use the same evidence each time this matter was brought up?
Well, if she didn’t take some action on that evidence, it would be challenging to ease the hatred in her
heart.
Currently, it all boiled down to that bank transfer record.
Natalie closed her eyes. “Get out!”
Cedric stood up. “Natalie, you should refrain from taking it too far. I don’t want to see another incident
like today!”
Then don’t provoke me!” she retorted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“If you provoke me, I can’t be blamed for retaliating!”
Natalie wouldn’t be a doormat for anyone to throw dirt on.
Before this, she had been busy with the Apex Global and the easter suburbs project, so she hadn’t had
time for a press conference.
But that didn’t mean she would let it slide. As soon as she had some free time, she would settle scores
with these people.
The two stared at each other, enveloped in a frigid atmosphere.
Natalie took a deep breath and said, “Perhaps I’ve given you some misconceptions before, but from
now
on, please remember this clearly: I’m a person who doesn’t let a slight go unnoticed!” 1
Warm and refined, knowledgeable and rational?
Those words couldn’t be used to describe her right now, as that was because no one had ever pushed
her
to that limit.
Every person had their breaking point, including someone gentle and poised like Natalie. If she hadn’t
been pushed to the brink, she would never have faced all of Verde City on her own,
In the past, she had always hidden behind Cedric
However, that imposing figure of a man was no longer her refuge. In fact, he was the one who had
pushed her in front of everyone.
Cedric left in frustration.
Whenever Natalie looked at him now, it was only with irritation and annoyance.
Cedric was already upset, and he had no patience to deal with her in this state.
Karina walked into Natalie’s office and asked in concern, “Are you okay?”
Tm fine, Natalie replied.
She was just a little angry, but it wouldn’t affect her work. Now, she was a career woman in the hearts
of Verde City’s people.
She wasn’t the housewife they had thought her to be, living on her husband’s allowance.
No, she was not that kind of person. They had been sorely mistake
+15 BONUS
To those who aspired for financial independence, she had become their role model, proving that men
couldn’t be relied upon.
Even wealthy families needed financial freedom, let alone regular white–collar workers!
“What’s our schedule for the next steps?” Natalie asked.
