121 She’s the CEO of Sylvan Gems

Natalie had caused Cedric to lose another project!

Soon, she also faced retaliation from him.

Apart from the cooperation with Premier Garden Corporation and Apex Global, everything other project

she had was outside Verde City!

She received countless calls terminating cooperation throughout the morning.

“It’s okay, I understand!” Natalie shrugged it off.

She was still polite to those people as she wanted them to know that she was still open to doing

business

with them in the future.

If it didn’t work out this time, there was always the next time, right?

After she hung up the phone, she buried herself in the relevant matters with Apex Global. As for what

Cedric was doing, she pretended not to know about it.

Did he think he would defeat her this way?

Dream on!

She worked until it was almost noon before her assistant came in and asked what Natalie intended to

do

for lunch.

That was when Stephen called her.

“Come to Sylvan Gems immediately!”

Stephen’s tone was somewhat serious. Natalie gave her assistant a look. The assistant understood

left, closing the door on the way out.

With Natalie alone, she stood up and walked to the window. “You want me to come over?”

Sylvan Gems?

That was the largest jewelry company in Verde City.

In ten years, it had become very famous in the entire Verde City and even the national high society.

Rebecca loved the jewelry they produced, and she almost bought their new products every year.

So, Sylvan Gems was the Regal Horizons International branch that Stephen had previously

mentioned?

ajalle didn’t ask any questions over the phone.

She could feel how tense Stephen was, even over the phone. After hanging up, Natalie tidied up the

things

on her desk and stuffed the private detective’s information into a drawer.

As she left, she also called Karina, “The money for that detective agency can be settled in full.”

“Okay.”

After ending the call with Karina, Natalie rushed towards Sylvan Gems.

While Natalie was busy all morning, Cedric had been waiting for her all morning.

Yuvan was quick in his actions, and the only collaboration Natalie had left in the city was with Premier

Garden Corporation and Apex Global.

Even a fool could see that this was Cedric’s doing!

And now, Cedric was waiting.

He was waiting for Natalie’s call, and the anticipation was becoming anxious.

However, Natalie didn’t show up.

“Damn woman!”

Cedric took a drag from his cigarette, his tone filled with anger.

Yuvan said, “But she still has cooperation deals in South City. Karina is heading there today.”

Cedric didn’t respond.

After all, drive Natalie out of Verde City; he just wanted to teach her a lesson.

At this point, with all the back–and–forth, he basically understood–whether with Irwin, Caleb, or anyone

else–that all she had with them was a business relationship.

However, he didn’t expect that woman to be so stubborn.

the studio all morning?

Tuvan nodded.

a complex look along with the usual serious glint in his eyes, and it was something Cedric

couldn’t quite discem.

In the afternoon, Cedric didn’t have time to think about Natalie. After all, too much had happened

during

this time, and he had plenty of matters to attend to.

Yuvan thought for a moment and said, “There seems to be some movement from Mr. Benjamin and Mr.

Andrew.”

“Don’t bother with them!”

Were they up to something?

What tricks could they possibly come up with now?

Although Cedric had lost two consecutive projects in the real estate industry, no one could undermine

his collaborations in the biotech company.

So, Cedric ignored it and initiated several projects overseas!

In the end, he still had some tricks up his sleeves, and those overseas projects could compensate for

the losses easily enough.

“There are some updates on Ms. Morgan’s situation.”

“What is it?”

“That person… is willing to donate their eyes,” Yuvan said.

That was good news for them. Isabella’s eyes and legs had always been a heavy burden in Cedric’s

heart, and they were the catalyst for his divorce from Natalie.

“Have that person come to Verde City as soon as possible.”

Cedric closed his eyes, concealing the frustration beneath the surface.

Natalie had been left outside for too long, and her temperament was becoming wilder.

He… needed to resolve the matter with Isabella as soon as possible.

“Yes, sir.” Yuvan nodded and went to contact the donor.

of there was hope for Isabelle’s surgery, Cedric breathed a sigh of relief.

medical skills were exceptional, so restoring Isabella’s sight was only a matter of time.

After Yuvan left, Cedric was alone in the room. The man lit another cigarette.

Just then, his phone rang. It was Christina.

He answered, “Hello.”

“Ced. Mom woke up!”

At the hospital, Jocelyn was also present.

While Christina was peeling an apple for Rebecca, the force she used seemed to release resentment

as if

she were peeling the skin off Jocelyn’s face.

The intensity she exerted in peeling the apple was fierce!

However, no one in the room saw the expression on Christina’s face as their backs were facing her.

Rebecca held Jocelyn’s hand and sighed, “My daughter and future daughter–in–law are good. My son

is also good, but look… The ones accompanying me now are still you two.”

“Aunt,” Jocelyn sweetly called out.

Her voice was gentle and sweet, truly likable from the bottom of one’s heart. Rebecca really liked this

woman a lot.

“By the way, is your father at a meeting?”

“Yes, he is!” Jocelyn replied politely.

Though they were from similar backgrounds and upbringings, their temperaments were different due to

the difference in their age.

Thinking about the calls from Andrew and Benjamin after she had just woken up, Rebecca suspected

the two were up to something and had her own ideas.

So, she said, “I think we should formalize things between you and Cedric soon. Tell your parents that

we should set a time to meet, okay?”

When Christina heard Rebecca’s words, she stopped peeling the apple!

claimed it wasn’t urgent, but in reality, she was more anxious than anyone else.

Rebecca said, “My health will improve when I see the two of you getting along.”

In other words, her lying in this hospital bed was entirely due to Natalie’s provocation. That woman not

only snatched away two projects, causing such a mess for the Johnson family, but she also hadn’t

resolved the matter yet!

The internal conflicts within the Johnson family were infuriating.

I’ll talk to my parents about it,” Jocelyn said with a hint of unease, which she tried to cover up with joy.

Since what happened at the banquet, her parents had been reluctant to let her be with Cedric.

But she had waited for so many years!

Rebecca held Jocelyn’s hand with an indulgent look in her eyes. “Oh, you’re such a darling girl.”

Jocelyn smiled, appreciating Rebecca’s pampering and compliments.

Christina tried to control her emotions. She held the poorly cut apple and turned around.

*Joyce, have some apples.”

“Oh my gosh! Tina, your hand is bleeding!” Jocelyn exclaimed in alarm.

Rebecca looked over and saw a cut on Christina’s thumb, the blood staining the apple red.

Christina followed Jocelyn’s gaze. She hadn’t noticed she had cut herself, and it was only then that she

felt the pain.

“Let me take a look,” Jocelyn said in concern as she tried to reach for Christina’s hand.

However, Christina instinctively avoided it, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
