NovelEnglishChapter 18 Call the Police
The edge of the papers brushed against Natalie’s cheek, cutting her skin and leaving a fine scratch on
her fair face. She closed her eyes, enduring the pain.
Seeing that, Cedric tensed up and instinctively moved forward. But in the next moment, his gaze turned
icy. He stopped in his tracks, staring at her with a look of disappointment.
“You’ve truly disappointed me,” he said.
Opening her eyes and studying the disappointment in her husband’s eyes, Natalie’s lips curled into a
smile. Her silent smile pierced Cedric’s heart.
“Why?” he asked.
Little did he know that Natalie was equally disappointed in him when he asked this question.
She turned and looked out the window, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the leaves, as well as
the
sound of the running creek. She used to love everything here, and had always thought this would be
her
home till the end of her days.

Not too long ago, he had just professed his belief in her. But within half an hour, he was now
questioning her like this.
“What do you mean by that?” she asked.
“Natalie!” Cedric’s voice trembled with anger.
Looking at her back, she looked delicate and pure, as she always did. She always made him want to
hold her in his arms.
The veins on Cedric’s forehead throbbed, and he felt a pounding headache.
“Why did you become like this? Do you realize that you’ve ruined someone’s entire life? Do you hate
her that much?”
Didn’t Natalie know how important a person’s eyes and legs were to a person?
People who collaborated with Verde City and the Johnson family all said that Cedric was unfeeling and
cold–hearted. But now, he felt that these descriptions couldn’t even begin to describe Natalie. She was
ven more malicious than those words. As he looked at her petite figure, Cedric felt nothing but deep
deappointment
She wasn’t like this; she shouldn’t be like this.
She was so beautiful. How could she do something like this?!
Without turning around, Natalie took a deep breath and said, “Have you already decided that it was
me?”
“What else do you have to say?” asked Cedric.
The evidence was right in front of them.
Did she really have the audacity to ask him if he believed her? At this point, did she really need to ask if
he trusted her? These were ironclad pieces of evidence, so how could he possibly believe her?!
“There’s nothing else to say. Just call the police.”
Cedric hesitated, and his eyes grew even colder at her words.
Call the police? Did she expect him not to do anything to her?
“You’re really something else! Cedric spat out before he angrily stormed off, leaving Natalie alone.
Natalie watched the rain outside. She watched as Cedric went downstairs. Without even bothering to
put
on his coat, he drove away immediately. As his car disappeared at the gate, the last trace of warmth in
her eyes vanished completely.
Cedric was gone, and chaos had erupted within the Johnson family.

records of transfers made to her bank account from the bank card he had arranged for her. However,
that card had long been inactive.
The transfers were divided into dozens of small amounts, as Cedric, with his status, would not easily
notice such sums. Natalie also had a shopping habit, frequently spending hundreds of thousands, so
these transfers of tens or twenty thousands went unnoticed by him.
Those people had meticulously planned, accounting for time and Cedric’s state of mind.
Natalie smiled a smile that carried a sinister edge.
At the dinner table, only Natalie was present. Without a doubt, Cedric would not return for several days.
“Madam, there are still packages coming. Shall we continue to ignore them?” the butler asked politely.
Dispose of them, Natalle replied without any emotion in her voice
Mais point, there was no longer any significance in keeping them All she had wanted was for Cedric to
Compared to Isabella’s legs and eyes, the online harassment against Natalie was now nothing to
Cedric. He simply didn’t take this matter seriously, and perhaps had already forgotten about it.
In her previous life, Natalie had quickly arranged for those things to be dealt with because she had
been too afraid. But in this life, it seemed that these things were only minor issues in Cedric’s mind,
and were nothing harmful enough to be concerned about.
Later, Rebecca and Christina came over.
Smack!
A sharp slap landed forcefully on Natalie’s face.
