NovelEnglishChapter 11 Property Dispute
When Natalie came out, she saw Cedric and Bianca’s cars parked side–by–side.
Both of them stood outside with cold expressions.
Cedric saw Natalie and took a step forward, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
Natalie didn’t look at him.
She walked past him and headed toward Bianca’s car.
However, she felt someone grab her wrist tightly. She looked up to see Cedric.
“I’ll drive you home,” he said.
“Home?” Natalie laughed bitterly. “That place hasn’t been my home for a long time.”
She shook off his hand calmly.
A heart would die after experiencing such a great calamity.
It was impossible for the others with her right now to understand that statement.
In her previous life, Natalie had panicked at this moment because Cedric had always been in control.
She
had been brought to the police station and had only been released after three days.
And that was only because Bianca had bailed her out.
“Natalie!”
The man’s voice trembled. Natalie turned her head to look at him.
She gazed into his alluring eyes, his sharp nose, and his perfectly chiseled features. Every aspect she
could see was captivating.
He was such a perfect man. It was no wonder that even after marriage, other women would disregard
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtboundaries and still desire him.
When they had started out, she had been unable to resist him too.
Now, looking at him, she wished she could destroy that face.
“Let go,” Natalie said.
Those two words were said in a tone that was icy and devoid of any warmth.
Cedric thought she was angry.
Seeing her like this, his heart skipped a beat.
The next moment, Natalie forcefully pulled her hand away and walked straight toward Bianca’s car
without a moment’s hesitation.
She left Cedric with the view of her back.
Natalie was petite and usually looked like a gentle soul who needed to be protected.
But now, she looked towering, with the ability to push people thousands of miles away from her.
In the car, Natalie had a gaunt look on her face.
In just one night, she appeared to have lost weight. Already petite, her chin seemed even more pointed
than ever.
A bottle of mineral water, held out by a fair hand adorned with a red Cartier bracelet, was passed to
her.
Bianca said, “Have some water.”
“Thank you,” Natalie replied and accepted the bottle.
Struggling to twist open the bottle cap, Bianca saw Natalie’s predicament and reached out her hand. ”
Give it to me.”
Natalie was stunned.
“I can do it!”
Couldn’t she even open a bottle cap? Did she give off such an impression?
Her hands were very small, and the fingers trying to unscrew the cap seemed fragile. It was as if a little
more force would break her fingers.
She probably gave Cedric that impression in the past, which was why he had been helping her with
everything since they met.
She had been nurtured into becoming a helpless person.
Seeing Natalie’s stubbornness, Bianca decided to let her be. Finally, Natalie managed to open the
bottle and took a few gulps.
After drinking half the bottle, her inner turmoil still hadn’t settled.
“Bia.”
“Yeah?”
“How could he treat me like this?”
Her tone was calm and seemed cultivated over the years in the Johnson family.
Bianca took a deep breath and replied, “If you want to break down, you can scream or cry all you want.
No
one will think less of you for it.”
Her husband had cheated!
What else would a woman do, if not make a scene at a time like this?!
Natalie looked out the window. She didn’t want to show her despair to her best friend.
“Bia, please take me home.”
“You still want to go back?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBianca was shocked. She had assumed that when Natalie got in her car, she intended to stay with her
for
a while.
However, Natalie knew better.
She knew what awaited her next. It wasn’t like she was happy to stay in the same place as Cedric, but
she couldn’t go anywhere else at this moment.
The online harassment against her was extremely intense.
Inside Cedric’s villa, no one dared to approach her aggressively. However, the situation would be
unpredictable if she stayed outside.
Besides, she didn’t want to drag Bianca into this mess.
“Why not? The house is also half mine,” Natalie said.
Bianca was taken aback.
Natalie didn’t seem like someone who cared about such things. The old Natalie, though an orphan, was
seen as a very laid–back person.
When she married Cedric, people who didn’t know her thought she was after his money. However,
those
If she didn’t love Cedric, he couldn’t possess her even if he gave her everything in the world.
Yet now, Natalie said, “You’ll handle my divorce case, right? I won’t settle for anything less than my fair
share, okay?”
“Of course!” Bianca nodded earnestly.
At least the girl wasn’t entirely foolish. She knew when to assert herself.
Before this, Bianca had been worried that she might give up the rights that belonged to her in the
divorce
agreement.
