"Do you feel better now?" Irwin observed her contemplative expression as his smile grew warmer.
Natalie remained silent.
Feel better? Hah!
"How could I?"
The Schneider family's nature was clear to her, and she was indeed the one to have given Cedric such a "gift".
But in comparison to the past years, this "gift" was insignificant!
Irwin's eyes held a mocking glint.
Before he could respond, Natalie interjected, "Irwin, I haven't even started with you yet."

She had taken audacity to its zenith. She really was doing whatever she wanted, whether it to Cedric or Irwin.
"Cedric might not have time for you now, but are you really not concerned about Frederick?" she questioned.
Frederick!
Natalie had sold out Frederick to Malcolm, and now even Zane was aware of his existence!
While Irwin might not know Frederick's exact whereabouts, one thing was certain—it was a headache that Frederick

Natalie hesitated.

Irwin's smile deepened mysteriously.. "You only understand the importance of those documents to us but not its
true implications."

"But the grand 'gift' you presented to Cedric? That was genuinely generous," Irwin remarked, his smile intensifying.
A shadow passed over Natalie's eyes.
The Schneider family...!
Had it not been for it being a significant gesture, she wouldn't have presented it to Cedric. But since she was to give
him one, it had to be substantial.
"What would you like for dinner?" Irwin asked, changing the topic.
"Anything," Natalie responded tersely, her tone betraying her annoyance.
