Chapter 17 Irreparable Rift

Just as Cedric was about to explode, a knock at the door interrupted him.

It was the butler, who announced, “Sir, Mr. Lewis is here.”

“Have him wait in the study,” Cedric instructed.

Natalie’s face turned even colder upon hearing that Stefan had arrived.

Stefan Lewis was Cedric’s best friend. He owned a private detective agency, and there was nothing he couldn’t uncover if one was willing to pay. Many wealthy women had sought him out to find evidence of

their husbands‘ infidelity.

And Natalie… knew all too well what Stefan had brought for Cedric today. It was the evidence that would push her husband’s feelings for her to the brink.

“If you ever dare to mention divorce again, I won’t let you off,” said Cedric, each word dripping with

venom, before he turned and left.
