Chapter 54 Dealing With Her Again
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 Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
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 bit hasty, so please bear with it.”
This was quite a bold statement.
The fact that such a good residence was something Stephen didn’t remember was truly humbling.
Natalie felt embarrassed at her previous thoughts. She had worried that Stephen’s gift might be too extravagant. But if her uncle didn’t even remember the place, it probably didn’t matter much to him.
“What are you saying? For me, having a place to live is already great,” Natalie replied.
As long as she didn’t return to Scarlet Villa, it was all good.
After lunch, Natalie went to change her clothes. When she stood in front of the wardrobe, her concept of luxury was once again refreshed.
Cedric used to give her everything, but now…
These famous brands from around the world and custom–made, handcrafted clothing made Natalie feel overwhelmed:
“Mr. Jarvis said he didn’t know what you liked, so he had someone send each series from various lines.
You can just choose whatever you like in the future,” Karina explained.
Natalie replied, “1-! like them all!”
Could she not like them?
She felt like even saying she didn’t like them would provoke divine retribution, okay?!
But a question lingered in her mind.
“Didn’t my uncle and his family always keep a low profile? Why is he suddenly.
Natalie didn’t continue, but Karina understood her implication.
Win
Karina replied, “Actually, Mr. Jarvis has always wanted to give Ms. Winnie all the wonderful things. He wanted to give her the best in the world. But Ms. Winnie has never liked these girly things.
Natalie had heard about it.
Despite being a girl, Winona liked things that were more typically associated with boys, such as basketball and ping pong. She was also pursuing a profession in the medical field, which involved performing several surgeries a day. Even her hairstyle was a short pixie cut.
“So, he’s more than willing to place all his dreams of raising a little princess on you.”
Natalie couldn’t help but be speechless about this.
Well, that was how her uncle was. He couldn’t do anything with his own daughter, and Natalie had always known that.
After changing her clothes, Natalle followed Karina outside and again experienced the extent of her uncle’s affection.
A silver Bugatti was parked at the front gate.
Natalie looked at Karina and then at the car.
“Come on,” Karina said.
Natalle asked, “We’re taking this car?”
Karina nodded, “Yes,”
1.I’d rather not. Let’s take the car we used earlier.”
Natalie felt like it was too extravagant. During the few months she had spent abroad, she had already experienced how doting Stephen could be!
While Winona had run off to some desert, Natalie was either brought to various events or had various pieces of jewelry delivered to her on a regular basis.
Her aunt had already bought so much jewelry that Natalie had nowhere to store them!
Natalie really didn’t want anyone from the Johnson family to know about her relationship with Stephen. If
driving this
Cedric saw her car, he would certainly investigate…!
Little did she know that Cedric had already started having Yuvan investigate the relationship between her
and Stephen.
Cedric wasn’t normally a man who jumped to conclusions. Natalie had been his wife for ten years. Now that she had gotten close to another man, Cedric wouldn’t rest until he discovered the reason behind it.
In the end, Karina didn’t follow Natalie’s suggestion, stating that this was Stephen’s order. It was only then that Natalie realized how highly Karina regarded Stephen’s words.
At the bidding event in the afternoon, Natalie and Irwin sat together. She was on Irwin’s right side, while Cedric and Yuvan sat on his left.
The atmosphere in the room was quite tense.
Cedric glanced at Yuvan, who quickly averted his gaze, clearly afraid to meet his eyes. He hadn’t expected Natalie to appear here with Irwin, which indicated that Irwin had approved her design proposal.
Cedric was seething with anger, while Natalie appeared calm as if nothing had happened. She wore a custom–made beige professional outfit that complemented her petite figure, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication. Despite her small stature, her presence was truly remarkable.
Several other companies had already submitted their designs, but all had failed to pass the final evaluation. This showed how strict the review process for the eastern suburb project was, emphasizing the need for an integrated assessment of the surrounding facilities,
When It came to Irwin and Cedric’s designs, Natalie’s heart raced. She shot a quick glance at Irwin, but he remained composed.
Suddenly, a buzzing sound from her phone interrupted her concentration.
Natalie looked down to check the message, which was from Cedric
It read, [I’ll deal with you outside!!
Natalie shot Cedric a fierce glare.
Cedric seemed to be calm on the outside, but the tension in his b*dy language betrayed his underlying
emotions.
He was clearly furious, even reaching his limit.
At the hospital, Christina couldn’t help but burst into laughter when she heard about what had happened
in the hospital room the night before.
The story brought her great amusement, and she could almost imagine what was going on in Natalie’s
mind then.
“Well done, I’ll give you a bonus,” Christina generously remarked.
The agreement between her and Isabelle had been agreed beforehand. But the satisfaction Christinal
derived from watching Natalie’s unexpected troubles made her willing to offer even more money.
However, Christina didn’t expect Isabella’s response when she heard about the extra compensation.
Isabella’s eyes revealed a hint of disdain, indicating that she didn’t really care about the additional money.
Christina was unfazed by Isabella’s lack of respect.
“Even though you did well, we still need to speed things up.”
Christina couldn’t wait another moment.
Her initial plan was to create a rift between Natalie and Cedric before Elizabeth’s birthday, but now it
seemed impossible.
A sharp glint of determination flashed in her eyes.
Seeing how Isabella remained silent, Christina firmly said, “You better not be thinking of things you shouldn’t!”
She was well aware of Isabella’s intentions when it came to Cedric
Christina didn’t want another woman like Natalie, who didn’t know her place, to get in her way.
Back at the bidding venue, the atmosphere had become quite bizarre.
After careful evaluation and extensive deliberation, the results were finally announced.
