On the second floor, Natalie instantly stopped in her tracks upon hearing those words!

She couldn’t stop the tremble that wrecked through her, and her eyes turned exceedingly cold.

Cedric’s words were cut off abruptly as Natalie suddenly moved. She forcefully freed herself from his grip and slammed him against the wall.
