"If they're investigating someone..." Cedric's voice trailed off, filled with hesitation.
Someone?
Who could it be?!
At that moment, a distant look clouded Cedric's eyes. Certain long-buried memories seemed to resurface, causing
a tightening sensation in his chest.
As soon as Natalie met with Clyde's people, news reached Irwin.
Like Cedric, a chilling sensation washed over him, but he managed to suppress it before speaking.
However, beneath his calm exterior, a chilling depth was evident when he said, "Keep an eye on Clyde's people."

Undoubtedly, Natalie's interaction with Clyde's associates wasn't as straightforward as it seemed, especially
considering the complexities of her visit to Wexford.
At first glance, she appeared as Irwin's fiancee, seemingly siding with him. Yet, both Irwin and those close to him
knew that things weren't that simple.
Even if Natalie wasn't vengeful by nature, could she really be unaffected by the manipulations that spanned a
decade?
She wasn't just here because of Cedric but also because of Irwin.
The fallout would undoubtedly be catastrophic if she were to discover Cedric's reasons for approaching her a
decade ago or Irwin's prolonged manipulations.
"Should we send her back, sir?" Dylan expressed his concern.
Unlike those close to Cedric, Dylan had been with Irwin for a considerable time and understood the intricacies of the
situation.
That was the most worrisome part.
Dylan knew they couldn't let Natalie find out.
Irwin lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, his expression solemn.
This was precisely why Cedric had never wanted Natalie in Wexford and never wanted her to discover its secrets.
As for Irwin, his previous fearlessness seemed a distant memory.
Upon realizing she was associating with Clyde's people, Irwin felt a fleeting moment of guilt.

Could it be that he...?
"Dylan."
"Yes, sir."
"Who do you think..."
What was he trying to say?
Pausing momentarily, Irwin continued, "Who do you think she would resent more if she knew the whole story—
Cedric or me?"
Dylan hesitated, caught off guard by the question.
Who would she hate more?
Given what they knew about Natalie, it was evident she disliked being manipulated, especially for an extended
period.
