Chapter 182 The Bought–off Doctor
“You don’t have the ability to do that!” Cedric said and released her with a disdainful look.
He turned and sat on the sofa, lighting a cigarette.
“Tina’s birthday is approaching, and she’s been eyeing Sylvan Gems‘ items for quite a few years.
Reserve a
set for her!”
For quite a few years?
And she still hasn’t obtained it!
It shows just how sought–after Sylvan Gems‘ items are
Natalie replied, “What she wants is the limited edition. I can’t do anything about it.”
“You are the CEO of Sylvan Gems now.”
“The board of directors discusses the quantity of each set made. Even as the CEO, I can’t interfere.”
“Natalie!”
“Oh, I almost forgot, Mr. Johnson. You always like to change things to suit your needs, right? But
Sylvan Gems is different from your company. The limited amount of each set is what makes our items
so
irresistible!”
“Do you think I should make an exception because of my relationship with Christina, or because of our
relationship?” She challenged him with a provocative look
As she said that, a chill entered the man’s eyes.
Staring at Natalie’s challenging eyes, frustration welled up in his chest.
“You’ve never been willing to say why you hate me!”
He could probably already guess the reason
But many things were still under investigation. As long as they found out whether that card was still in
use, where it was being used, and by whom, everything would be clear.
Natalie picked up the glass in front of her and took a sip, remaining silent.
The implication was clear
Such a demeanor made the man somewhat exasperated.
your After some thought, he said, “The jewelry is crucial for Tina this time. On
end…”
“Even I couldn’t get my hands on the new collection this year. What do you think I can do for her?”
Cedric could see that Natalie was not going to be moved on this matter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as Cedric was about to say something, Natalie’s phone rang. It was Bianca.
She answered, “Bia!”
“Nat, I need a set of Clouds!”
Clouds was the name of one of Sylvan Gems‘ new collections this year.
She subconsciously glanced at Cedric; her phone’s speaker was loud. With Bianca’s loud voice on the
other end, Cedric could hear everything clearly.
Natalie asked, “Must it be that set?”
“Yes! I can’t explain, but as the CEO of Sylvan Gems, you must help me get it. It’s crucial!”
“Okay, I’ll get it for you.”
“You’re the best! Love you! Mwah!”
Cedric’s face turned slightly red with anger.
Because on the phone, Christina seemed to have also mentioned wanting Clouds!
But imagine, that was the most sought–after series of Sylvan Gems this year.
After hanging up, the air fell silent.
Only Cedric’s gritted teeth were audible.
Natalie!”
You can’t compare Bia’s relationship with me to Christina’s. Even if I have to go to the factory and make
with my own hands, f’ll make it for her!”
Cedric was silent:

Just moments ago, Natalie had been unyielding and unmovable.
But with just one call from Bianca, she didn’t even hesitate and agreed!
He didn’t know when it started, but it seemed like his position in her heart couldn’t even compare to
Biance anymore!
Cedric emerged from Sylvan Gems and sat in the car, his eyes deep with contemplation. The cramped
space was filled with a stifling atmosphere.
Lucas was tensed as he drove.
Just when it seemed like the journey would remain quiet, Cedric suddenly spoke when they were
almost
at the company.
“Lucas!”
“Yes, sir!”
“Find out what happened to Isabella before and after she was kidnapped.”
“Yes, sir.”
Lucas had been investigating during this period, but it had all revolved around Natalie. It seemed that
Cedric was now digging into everything from the past.
Those matters that had already concluded, the conclusions he had drawn, were now being shaken to
the
core.
“I’ve died once; do I care about dying again?”
Those were Natalie’s original words to him.
He hadn’t uttered a single word in response.
What kind of danger had she experienced to feel like she had died once before?
Jack at the company, Yuvan greeted him, “Mr. Johnson, you’re finally back!“.
What’s going on?
Lambert is here!”
Jocelyn Lambert!
At the mention of her, Cedric’s expression darkened.
“Who let her in?”
“Well, L…”
Yuvan looked a bit awkward. After all, Jocelyn’s status in Verde City was quite special, and the Lambert
family behind her was extraordinary.
Therefore, nobody dared to casually stop her from going anywhere.
But seeing Cedric’s expression at this moment…!
“Should I go and get rid of her?”
“Get rid of her!”
Cedric couldn’t summon any patience for Jocelyn. After all, this had been Rebecca’s wishful thinking
from
the beginning!
As for what happened between Rebecca and Jocelyn at the Johnson Manor, Cedric didn’t want to
delve into it. He just wanted to clarify many things.
Although many things had not yet surfaced, he felt that everything might not be as he had thought
before.
He pushed open the office door.
Jocelyn looked towards the entrance. Upon seeing Yuvan enter, her eyes turned red again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Is he back?”
“Ms. Lambert, I just called Mr. Johnson. He said he’s very busy! He suggested you go back today.”
“No, I have to see him!” Jocelyn exclaimed and covered her face, on the verge of tears.
Initially, Jocelyn had been uncompromising regarding Isabella. After saying those words at the Johnson
Manor that day, she left with the assumption that they would properly arrange things for Isabella.
didn’t anticipate that after they sent Isabella to Sapphire, Cedric and Netalle’s scandalous affair
then be exposed
And Rebecca, Rebecce avoided her with various excusesi
Only then did she realize that the online rumors were not as simple as they seemed.
She never expected Natalie to be so stubborn. Despite divorcing Cedric, the two got involved again,
which was quite unacceptable.
“Mr. Johnson is indeed very busy. Let me take you back, Yuvan said respectfully.
If it were any other woman, he could have just thrown her out. But unfortunately, it was the daughter of
the Lambert family.
Seeing Yuvan’s firm attitude, Jocelyn’s originally pitiful face turned into an elegant arrogance.
“He refuses to see me, is that it?”
“Well…” Yuvan hesitated.
“I understand!”
At that moment, Jocelyn finally confirmed that Cedric and Rebecca were intentionally avoiding her.
Why?
Just because of Natalie’s current status?
How dare the Johnson family…!
“Yuvan.”
“Yes, Ms. Lambert.”
“Pass along a message to him for me.”
“What is it?”
The Johnson family has gone too far! Even if the arrangement fell through, they should have been clear
about it! Instead, what is this treatment toward me?!”
Jocelyn was also a proud woman.
The only thing she had ever done in her life was to persistently pursue Cedric. Never did she expect to
ceive such an insult
stood up, walked towards the office door, and said, “My father is about to retire, but before that, there
all several major projects in Verde City that he oversees
After saying that, she opened the office door and walked out.
Yuvan hurriedly followed and said, “I’ll escort you!”
“Get lost!” Jocelyn completely lost her temper.
Yuvan’s expression darkened..
