Chapter 21 No Way Out

At first, the spoon in Natalie’s trembling hand shook at the man’s words. But soon, she looked at Cedric, finding it somewhat amusing.

Before she could speak, Cedric continued, “Withdraw the divorce lawsuit. Once we have a child, they will

inherit everything.”

So, he was in a bad mood this early in the morning because he had received news that she hadn’t withdrawn the divorce lawsuit?! And he was proposing such a tempting condition, assuring her that she

wouldn’t need to worry about other women anymore?

Once upon a time, Natalie had found it amusing how high–society marriages were only woven together by a tapestry of money. And now, that was exactly what her marriage was like.

She took a sip from the glass of milk before her and looked at the man across from her. His complexion had turned somewhat ashen. No matter how stunning his looks were, they couldn’t withstand the ravages

of alcohol.

“Your concessions amuse me,” she said.

The two locked eyes in a tense standoff.

Cedric looked at the disdain in Natalie’s eyes. Instead of responding to Natalie’s words, he inquired about

the information from Stefan’s Investigation in a chilly tone.

“Have you seen all the evidence?‘

The air turned cold at his words.

was a chilling gleam in her eyes.
