Chapter 62 Unrelenting
“What do you mean by that?”
On the other end of the line, Rebecca sensed something was amiss.
However, Cedric didn’t want to engage in further conversation with his mother at this point.
He hung up the phone and said to the others in the meeting room, “Let’s conclude today’s meeting
here.”
His mind was buzzing with thoughts, all centered around what Rebecca had said.
Natalie had driven a Bugatti Veyron to the Johnson Manor today.
He took out his phone and carefully examined the messages but found no bank transactions.
So, she hadn’t used his bank card for the purchase?
While there were no spending limits on his account for her, such a substantial expenditure should have
prompted a confirmation call from the bank.
Yet, there had been no call, no message!
If it wasn’t his money, whose car was it?
In Verde City, Blanca was Natalie’s only close friend. Bianca didn’t have the means to lend her such an
extravagant car, so whose was it?
If it wasn’t borrowed, then whose car was it?
Could it have been a gift from that foreign man?
Yes, it must have been.
Cedric’s veins throbbed, and the air around turned chilly.
When Yuvan was summoned, he could feel the tension in the air. “Sir!”
“How is the Investigation on Regal Horizons International? Cedric inquired.
Well, the information has already been sent to your email,” Yuvan responded cautiously.
It was clear the information was not favorable, so he had sent it directly to Cedric’s email and was
hesitant to deliver it in person.
After Yuvan finished speaking, Cedric shot Yuvan a piercing glance. Yuvan could clearly feel the
tension and adjusted his glasses with shaky hands.
Cedric opened his email and checked the information. It was quite comprehensive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe report indicated that the chairman of Regal Horizons International, Stephen Jarvis, had a
harmonious
and contented family life.
His relationship with his wife, Heather Young, had always been good, and they only had one daughter.
The reason for not having more children was that Stephen’s wife had suffered health problems after
giving
birth to their daughter.
Out of concern for Heather’s health, Stephen decided against having more children. So, even with their
significant family and business empire, they only had one daughter.
Furthermore, Stephen had a clean record. He had no scandals and maintained an immaculate public
image.
A clean and upright person like him actually got involved with Natalie…!
“Send a message to Mrs. Jarvis.”
Although Cedric didn’t specify the content of the message, Yuvan clearly understood.
It was a clear hint for the message to be a reminder to Heather to keep a closer eye on her husband
and
prevent him from getting involved with a married woman.
Yuvan nodded and replied, “Of course.”
After Yuvan left the office, Natalie’s number flashed repeatedly on Cedric’s phone.
He refused to answer, and his face became increasingly unhappy. He reached for a cigarette, lit it, and
took a deep drag.
However, it did little to ease his restlessness.
After leaving the Johnson Manor, Natalie headed straight back to her office.
There, sitting across from her, was a sharp and stern–looking man, Clark Yancey–the lawyer Stephen
had recommended to her.
Clark had arrived a couple of days ago, but Natalie had been busy with the Apex Global collaboration,
As a result, they hadn’t met in person yet. Karins had arranged accommodations for him at e hotel
Now, Natalie pushed some of the evidence she had obtained from Bianca toward Clark.
“These are the pieces of evidence regarding his infidelity and domestic abuse.”
*Alright.”
Clark was a man of few words. He took the documents and glanced through them. He casually flipped
through the pages, but it was clear that Natalie had put in great effort to build a strong case for her
divorce.
Seeing Clark’s silence, Natalie continued, “I’ve included the news reports related to him and that
woman, the medical bills after that woman was kidnapped, and the proof of him assaulting me.”
Clark calmly replied, “I see.”
Natalie asked the question that weighed heavily on her mind, ‘Can we win this?”
Her main concern was whether the lawsuit would be successful. The longer it dragged on, the more
detrimental it would be for her.
Clark raised his gaze to meet hers, and in that single glance, the sharpness in his eyes made Natalie
tense.
This lawyer was good. He could intimidate a person with just a look.
Clark said, “Whether we win remains uncertain, but making the other side uneasy will be a good thing
for you.”
His words hit the mark.
Natalie was determined to make Cedric uneasy.
He thought no one in Verde City would dare pick up her case, huh? He had even used underhanded
means to force Bianca out of the picture.
But at what point had he started using such heavy–handed tactics against her?
If he thought that doing so would make her give up, he was sorely mistaken,
Just as Natalie was about to continue speaking, a commotion could be heard from outside.
Then, the office door was forcefully kicked open.
Cedic stood in the doorway. His gaze was cold, and the air around him felt suffocating

Natalie addressed Karina and said, “You can leave for now. I’ll handle this.”
Karina looked concerned but eventually nodded and left.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCedric stared at Natalie, then turned his attention to Clark. The coldness in his eyes was becoming
harder to conceal. He clenched his fists, and his hands trembled with anger.
However, Natalie remained calm and said, “Since you’re here, let me introduce you to my divorce
lawyer,
Mr. Yancey. In the future, you can discuss any matters directly with Mr. Yancey.”
Divorce…
Divorce!
The word echoed in Cedric’s mind.
She had been repeatedly implying and bringing up this matter the entire time!
Even at this point, she had not given up!
Cedric sneered. “Which law firm are you from?
Clark stood up, extending his hand to Cedric politely but with an air of authority. “Hello.”
Cedric glanced at the hand Clark extended but did not shake it. The cold look in his eyes intensified,
and his presence became more overbearing.
Clark was familiar with such attitudes in the corporate world and was affected at all.
He simply withdrew his hand smoothly to adjust his cuffs. Then, he said, “I’m from Simeria. I’m
currently not affiliated with a law firm here. However, I’ll have one shortly.”
With that, the atmosphere in the office turned even colder.
Natalie approached them and told Clark, “You should head back for now.”
Clark replied, “Alright.”
He picked up his briefcase and left, leaving only the two in the room.
Natalie looked at Cedric, who asked. “Are you still not giving up?!!
She turned away and walked to the office desk, taking a seat in the chair. Their positions had

In the past, Cedric sat in his chair working whenever Natalie visited him. Sometimes, he seemed too
busy
to be bothered and even displayed impatience toward her.
Now, Natalie was sitting in that chair, and her expression mirrored that impatience.
Looking down, she picked up the new cooperation documents. She glanced at them while saying, “I
can’t
convince myself to stay with a man who abused me for the sake of another woman.”
