Chapter 211 Innocent Bystanders Implicated
Natalie didn’t know how she managed to return to Auro Studio.
At this moment, Karina was still there. Upon seeing Natalie’s pale face, she checked the time on her
wristwatch and remarked, “You should be on your way to the airport now. Why are you here?”
“Do you really think I can leave?” Natalie asked Karina.
Cedric had ruthlessly instigated everything this time. Now, Natalie suspected the incident in the eastern
suburbs was his doing
“Are you referring to Mr. Johnson…?
“No, it wasn’t him. I probably can’t leave the city myself now.”
The eastern suburbs incident and what happened at Sylvan Gems were both major issues,
The relevant departments wouldn’t let her leave Verde City easily. At least, not until these two matters
are
completely resolved.
They wouldn’t let her leave.
Karina said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you. We have to give it a try!”
Having worked within Regal Horizons International for such a long time, Karina naturally understood
that
the current situation was very unfavorable for Natalie.
Leaving now would be the best arrangement for her.
Natalie looked at Karina. After seeing the determination in her eyes, she eventually nodded. She
picked
பற the drawings designed for Apex Global’s project and a calculator in the office and got into the car
with
Karina.
As they drove, Natalie meticulously checked every detail, even small lines, on the drawings. She had
always attached great importance to the cooperation with Apex Global, and she personally did this
design draft
She believed there was no problem with it.
But now…!
“How is it going?” Karina asked.
“I’m still checking!”

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo avoid any mistakes, Natalie was extremely careful in her examination, even more so this time.
Karina looked at her deep frown and said, “Such accidents may not necessarily be due to an issue with
your design. Don’t stress too much!”

“How can I not be stressed?” Natalie was not just stressed; her entire being was tense, fearing that
there
might be a problem somewhere.
Karina said, “Do you think this might be related to Mr. Johnson?”
“Regardless of whether it’s him or not, I first need to confirm that it’s not a problem on my end.”
“Okay.”
Natalie was telling the truth.
Before accusing others, one must ensure that there are no issues on their own end. She checked every
detail with extreme precision.
After thorough inspection….
“It’s not a problem on my end.”
Her calculations were also precise.
As long as the measurements on the construction site were accurate, it meant the problem did not lie in
the design draft but somewhere else.

But could there be an issue with the material provided by Irwin’s group?
Or did Cedric really have the ability to manipulate things within Irwin’s company?
To the extent that
To the extent that such a major incident occurred on–site?
Natalie couldn’t help but feel her heart tighten.
Cedric’s attitude this time seemed to genuinely wish for her death. Although he had previously
threatened
to throw her into prison, it never carried the current level of hatred.
If she had to describe his actions in the past as anger, now it was bone–deep hatred!
After they arrived at the airport, Natalle found herself confined to Verde City as she had expected.
When she inquired about the reasons from relevant personnel, the only response she got was, “It’s

Now, Natalie could only stay in Verde City.
Cedric seemed to be doing nothing for the moment, yet these two incidents were enough for her to deal
with.
In the car, Natalie’s lips curled into a bitter smile.
“Human
it seems,
houldn’t climb too fast…”
In the past, she had been high and mighty, providing Cedric with the perfect opportunity to strike.
When she had nothing in Verde City before, those people practically wanted to drive her out.
But now?
They wanted her to be locked inside Verde City and face their attacks!
“Don’t think too much. I will explain this to Mr. Jarvis. Someone clearly set up everything to target you!”
Karina tried to reassure her.
“Alright.”
Natalie could also see that this situation was entirely aimed at her.
Although investigations took time, the process was making her quite uncomfortable at the moment.
Karina took Natalie to Elegance Bay. In the luxurious villa that stood like a city fortress, Nigel greeted
her
upon her return.
“You should rest for a while. Breakfast is being prepared in the kitchen and will be sent to your room
shortly.”
“Send it to the study,” Natalie said.
She couldn’t find any peace to sleep now. The world was truly in chaos. Both Sylvan Gems and Auro
Studio are having problems now, and on her side… she had to admit that she was having a hard time.
Tired, she returned to the study. Just as she entered the room, her phone vibrated.
It was Cedric.
‘Hello.”
“Are you sure you won’t do anything for Tina’s situation?”
Natalie closed her eyes.

Thinking about the incidents in the Eastern Suburbs and Sylvan Gems being Cedric’s doing, she
couldn’t
help but feel a chilling anger emanating from her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer tone concealed restrained fury. “Before I settle everything in my hands, just do whatever you want
with her!”
Although it wasn’t explicitly stated, there was an implicit agreement to mutually let go.
“Is that so?”
“Cedric, whether my matters are related to me or not and how much responsibility I’ll bear, all of that is
still under investigation. Whether it’ll fall on me or not is uncertain.”
Fut Christina is different. Those were all bo
doings. I want to see how she can extricate herself this time!
Those were all ironclad evidence!
Cedric’s call now clearly indicated he couldn’t bail out Christina.
It was a serious suspicion.
What was going on?
If it were some trivial matter, Natalie wouldn’t mind. But now, it was different. It involved loss of life, and
she wanted to see how capable Christina was in facing such irrefutable evidence.
People in this world weren’t all as pig–headed as the Johnson family!
“It seems like you haven’t changed your stubbornness until now.”
The call was abruptly disconnected.
Natalie’s I
Stubborn?
lips curved into a cold smile when she heard the dial tone in her ear.
The once gentle, knowledgeable Mrs. Johnson had indeed become persistently unyielding.
The world fell silent!
Natalie rubbed her throbbing forehead. When daylight broke, Natalie hadn’t slept all night.

Breakfast was prepared, and Nigel had it delivered to the study. She only took a few bites as she had
lost
her appetite.
Stephen called.
“Uncle.”
“Karina already told me what happened.” Stephen’s tone on the phone wasn’t too pleasant.
The situation she got herself into this time seemed to be causing quite a headache.
“It’s not a problem with my design, Natalie said.
“Yeah, I know.”
Her design had been selected as the best among all the other selections; how could it be faulty?
Stephen continued, “I’ve already halted all of Cedric’s projects over here.”
