Chapter 286 Skilled Demeanor

It turned out she had never truly understood him!

When Natalie had been by his side, the deeply furrowed brows she used to see probably weren’t solely due to the Johnson family’s internal conflicts.

There could have been something deeper behind it.

“Ms. Walker, are you alright?”

Wendy looked at Natalie with concern.

Natalie had been with Cedric for ten years. Now, Natalie realized that the person beside her in bed wasn’t what she had perceived all along.

It was normal for anyone to be unable to accept it, right?

However, Wendy was overthinking it.

After all, Natalie had seen Cedric’s venomous side. What did these things behind him matter?

“Why wouldn’t I be?” Natalie glanded at Wendy, realizing at that moment that she didn’t have many useful people around her.

Stephen had reassigned Karina.

Zane had taken an extended leave!

Upon hearing this, Wendy’s expression noticeably stiffened. Natalie sensed her unease and furrowed lier brows

“Is it difficult?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Natalie sighed.
