Chapter 98 The Obedient Daughter–in–law
After lunch, Irwin dropped Natalie back to the office. As soon as Natalie entered the office, she felt that
something was amiss.
Karina gave her a meaningful look in the direction of her office.
“Is he here?”
Natalie was referring to Cedric.
Karina nodded. “Yes.”
It was just as Natalie expected!
Cedric had lost the piece of land in the eastern suburbs. Without a doubt, he would now keep an eye on what was happening near Dragon Park.
So, he would be aware of any movement from the companies involved.
Just this morning, she met Yvonne from Premier Garden Corporation.
Now, he was here during lunch.
Natalie took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and then entered her office.
The strong smell of smoke hit her nose!
There were cigarette butts in the disposable cup in front of Cedric, indicating that he had arrived shortly after she left.
When he heard the door open, Cedric turned around.
Natalie’s heart clenched when she saw the deep pain in his eyes. However, she quickly composed herself.
“What do you want?” she asked as she walked to her seat and pretended not to know.
Cedric looked at the custom–made outfit she was wearing. It was designed by a famous designer, and it was also part of a limited edition collection.
The pain in his eyes was replaced by burning anger immediately. But it was extinguished when he thought about their current relationship,
Their eyes met, and Natalie remained silent. She simply watched as Cedric’s gaze lost the previous
tness and became.sharp and composed:
“I never knew you had this side to you!” he said.
“What? Did you think I was just an obedient daughter–in–law who only knows how to cook and serve the elderly at home?”
The once obedient demeanor now seemed repulsive in retrospect.
To put it nicely, she was an obedient daughter–in–law. But to Rebecca and the others, she had always
been treated like a slave.
Even the servants at the Johnson Manor were considered more noble than her.
“Nat,” Cedric said in a tone filled with pain.

He thought about Isabella’s schemes against her. 1
Although it was just one incident…!
Natalie had experienced it firsthand. Cedric didn’t dare to think about how much she had gone through during that time.
How had she endured it?
Natalie’s expression turned cold when she heard him use such an intimate nickname. “Call me Ms.
Walker, just like the rest of them!‘
Cedric was silent.
He stiffened slightly at her words.
Ms. Walker?
It was such an unfamiliar way of addressing her!
But he had to admit… This woman used to be useless and only knew how to stay at home. She used to only know how to go shopping and swipe her credit cards.
Now, everyone who saw her would respectfully address her as Ms. Walker.
Alright, Ms. Walker, Cedric said with a faint smile that was tinged with mockery.
The bitterness on his smile meant nothing to Natalie,
The man before her right now was someone who would do anything for isabella
Who knew what he was up to now?
Cedric’s eyes were unreadable at this moment. He said firmly, “From now on, cut off all contact with Irwin
and Stephen.”
His sudden change surprised Natalie.
“What do you mean?”
Clearly, Natalie didn’t understand what this change meant for him. Cedric looked at her with an
unfathomable look in his eyes. Natalie had seen this look before. It was the look that made her think that
she had never truly understood Cedric
“Isabella’s schemes against you should end here. Things between us should never have reached this
point,” Cedric said.
Natalie was speechless.
Should never have reached this point?
Was he admitting his mistake?
This is just ridiculous…!
“And what do you think things between us should be like? On what grounds do you say it should end here?
Natalie’s tone in the latter question was full of coldness.
End here?
He made it sound so simple!
It had concerned her child’s life and her own!
With all these things combined, Cedric was now telling her it should end here?!
What right did he have? Who did he think he was?!
Taking a deep breath, she ignored the heaviness in her chest. She looked at the man before her with a sharp, questioning look in her eyes.
Looking at Natalie in this state, Cedric suddenly didn’t know what to say.
am
Just as Cedric was about to say something, his phone rang and interrupted him.
This time, it was Yuvan calling.
Cedric hung up directly, but the phone rang again the next moment.
Natalie’s sharp gaze was still leveled at him, and Cedric impatiently answered the phone.
This had better be important!”
“Mr. Johnson, the wound on Ms. Morgan’s eyes is severely infected. She refuses to change the dressing
or take injections!”
“Are you still unaware of her situation?!” Cedric roared.
That’s right. He was clearly aware of Isabella’s current situation!
Yuvan was stunned!
Just as Cedric was about to hang up, he heard Yuvan say, “I’m at the hospital!”
“What do you mean?”
While asking this question, Cedric’s gaze remained on Natalie’s face. Natalie was still staring at him.
Their eyes flickered with uncertain emotions as they stared at each other.
It was Isabella again!
So, what was left between them?
Even if they continued to be together, Isabella would always be between them.
Natalie hated herself. She hated why she couldn’t see through all of this in her past life, which had led her to her tragic end.
Cedric didn’t take his eyes off Natalie, but his tone softened slightly as he asked, “What do you mean!?”
In recent days, he rarely answered calls from the hospital. Without a doubt, he knew what his image was like in the hospital now.
If it weren’t for the complications in the eastern suburbs recently, those people in the hospital would have faced the consequences of deceiving him!
Yuvan hesitantly said, “Ma Morgan, she has indeed gone blind. There seems to be an issue with those, Things

“Is that true?”
In an instant, the air around the man turned cold.
Natalie’s mind buzzed.
So, that woman went to such lengths to plot against her, even resorting to such ruthless actions?!
Natalie couldn’t help but smile mockingly at how Cedric was looking at her now.
Isabella turned out to be more persistent than she thought!
She didn’t know what else was said on the phone, but the moment Cedric hung up, his gaze on her changed!
At that moment, Natalie just smiled.
It was a mocking smile.
“Your assistant, Karina, was the one who posted those things on the app, right?”
Without a doubt, Yuvan had reported who was the first to release the information.
