As dawn broke, Natalie's team members, who had been working several days of overtime, let out sighs of relief when she said they were done. They didn't bother returning home and just fell asleep where they sat."Are you sure it'll work?" Karina still had some doubts. Although she didn't care too much about this particular deal, they had put in several all-nighters. Naturally, she didn't want it to go to waste.Natalie nodded. "Yes. I'm sure it will.""Alright."Karina nodded in response and closed her computer before sipping her coffee. After several all-nighters, the coffee had lost its effectiveness in keeping them awake. It felt like their minds were all in a fog.-When Natalie arrived at Apex Global, the receptionist noticed her flushed face and asked concernedly, "Are you okay?"Natalie shook her head. "I'm fine."In reality, she had a fever. She felt drowsy and unwell.The receptionist glanced at the time. "It's still early. Why don't you go eat something first?"

Elegance Bay.Before coming here, Natalie had only heard of it. She always felt that it must be a realm of luxury beyond outsiders' imagination. However, when she truly set her eyes on the grandeur of the place, she realized why it was so highly sought after in high society. People outside called it a villa. But from Natalie's perspective, it was an exquisite castle. Even just standing at its entrance made her feel like she was in a queen's dream."When did my uncle buy this place?" Natalie asked Karina.At the time, she thought only people from Verde City bought properties here. She hadn't expected her uncle, who was abroad, to have acquired one.Karina replied, "Mr. Jarvis owns countless properties worldwide, and he himself has lost count. He wanted to give you a house, so the housekeeper dug up this place."Natalie was left speechless. Stephen didn't even remember this place himself!Karina said, "The staff here was all put in place just yesterday. The preparations were a

Cedric and her... could never return to what they once were!And this tenderness, it was just to take away her eyes for Isabella, to tilt the balance between her and Isabella!Cedric was so determined to do so that he didn't hesitate to be so gentle with Natalie again, who had long been disappointed. But unfortunately, Natalie couldn't bear this kind of tenderness!At the dinner table, there were all the dishes that Natalie liked."Why aren't you eating?" Cedric looked at Natalie from across the table. He was somewhat annoyed, but he managed to hold it in.Natalie replied, "I'm afraid you might have poisoned the food."That was a brutally direct statement!That's right! In her previous life, she had woken up in the operating theater after having a meal with him!How could she dare to casually have a meal with him again?Cedric's face changed, and he viciously stabbed the fork into the plate. "Have you thrown enough tantrums?!"He had always had limited patience, and Nat

When Cedric heard the beeping sound on the phone, he eventually... smashed the phone in anger! He had compromised to such an extent! He initially wanted to talk to her about returning to Scarlet Villa.After all, she was the young mistress of the Johnson family and his wife. Scarlet Villa was her home.If Natalie weren’t willing to give up her eyes, he wouldn’t pursue the issue further.Didn't this level of compromise suffice? The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became!Bang! Crash!He swept the vase on the table to the ground. But even with doing this to vent his anger, he found no solace deep within. His nerves were still on edge, and he was far from relaxed. Nothing he did made him feel better!-Compared to Cedric's anger and frustration, Natale was relaxed and calm.However, she didn't have Karina drive her back to Elegance Bay. She called Bianca and made plans to meet at the Enchanted Melody for some drinks. Although she was still feeling somewha

To Rebecca, her son was the most outstanding person in the world. Also, the position of the future matriarch of the Johnson family was something all the women in Verde City coveted. And now, Natalie's words had left her face red with anger."Don't you want it? Don't you want to be with Ced?" Rebecca asked."It was he who begged me. Have you forgotten?" Natalie replied."You..." Rebecca was furious!Natalie's complete lack of respect and her willingness to talk back made Rebecca unsure of how to respond. She used to be able to vent her anger on Natalie, but now she couldn't even say a word!Rebecca seethed with anger, but Natalie remained unfazed. "So, why did you summon me?"Rebecca had even used Bianca to threaten Natalie, which indicated how furious the former was.Slam!Rebecca turned and threw a document folder directly in front of Natalie. Natalie raised an eyebrow and looked at her but made no move to pick it up.Rebecca angrily asked, "Tell me, what's the deal with
