Chapter 193 Provocation

After Cedric left, Natalie tried to suppress the impulse in her chest. But ultimately, she failed.

She picked up her phone and called Stephen.

Cedric’s parting words undoubtedly reminded her that he wouldn’t let things go easily.

As Irwin had said… She wasn’t alone.

Cedric was manipulating her now, confident that she wouldn’t dare to say anything to her uncle. But Natalie felt a strong unwillingness to just let his threat go unanswered.

“How’s everything going?” Natalie asked.

Cedric’s stunt had caused Stephen a lot of trouble. When Natalie thought about it, she wished she could

tear Cedric to pieces.

“Don’t worry; everything has been taken care of.”

“Uncle!”

“Hmm?”

“Is there any trouble within Regal Horizons?” Natalie asked, thinking of potential issues similar to the

Sylvan Gems incident from before.

She hadn’t caused those problems, but in her current position, everything was her responsibility. Even the aftermath of the last shake–up had given her a headache.

“What kind of problems would there be? That’s all you ever ask when you call.” Stephen’s tone became

serious.

Then, it became even more serious, “What do you mean by asking that all the time?”

Natalie closed her eyes to conceal her irritation. After some contemplation, she circled around the topic

and finally said, “Cedric is behind all this.”

The air fell silent. Even through the phone, Natalie could sense how Stephen’s breathing turned ragged.

You already knew early on, didn’t you?” Stephen asked after a moment, breaking the silence
