Chapter 28 He Bailed Out the Perpetrators

After breakfast, Natalie called Bianca, who was still in bed but instantly woke up upon hearing that her friend had returned from abroad.

“You’re back?” Blanca asked.

“Yeah, I’ll come over right away,” Natalie replied.

“Great, I’ve taken the morning off. Come on over.”

“Okay.”

Natalie hung up. She soon left the villa, taking nothing but Ginger with her. She had no desire for anything from this place that used to belong to her. She was even still wearing the same clothes from when she

had returned yesterday.

Scarlet Villa was located in an affluent area where it was nearly impossible to get a taxi. Because of the seclusion, Natalie had to walk a considerable distance. She ended up waiting for almost half an hour

without seeing a car.

Then, a car sped towards her and came to a screeching halt beside her. It was so fast that Natalie instinctively took a step back. Just as she was about to shout at the driver, she saw Cedric’s cold and sharp profile through the partially open car window. His gaze was fierce.

“Get in,” he ordered in a commanding tone.

Natalie was about to refuse when the man said, “Natalie, you know I’m not a patient person. I didn’t take it out on the people around you earlier because I still cherish our ten–year relationship.”

Natalie could hear the threat in his tone.

“What do you want?” she asked.

Cedric gazed at the displeased young woman, and the ten years between them made him not want to force her in this way. But he did it because she had driven him to the brink of madness.

Natalie eventually got into the car. “Where are we going?”

Cedric glanced at her, his anger growing when he noticed the pig in her arms.

To the hospital!” he said.

As soon as she heard the word “hospital,” Natalie knew what he intended to do. She also knew that even after being away for three months, everything was still the same, just as it had been in her previous life.

The events from her past life hadn’t changed with the passage of time.

Natalie looked at him, knowing what she would hear, but still asked, “What for?”

“Isabella knows about your dealings with the kidnappers.”

“So what?” Natalie retorted.
