Chapter 98 The Obedient Daughter–in–law

After lunch, Irwin dropped Natalie back to the office. As soon as Natalie entered the office, she felt that

something was amiss.

Karina gave her a meaningful look in the direction of her office.

“Is he here?”

Natalie was referring to Cedric.

Karina nodded. “Yes.”

It was just as Natalie expected!

Cedric had lost the piece of land in the eastern suburbs. Without a doubt, he would now keep an eye on what was happening near Dragon Park.

There were cigarette butts in the disposable cup in front of Cedric, indicating that he had arrived shortly after she left.

Their eyes met, and Natalie remained silent. She simply watched as Cedric’s gaze lost the previous

“I never knew you had this side to you!” he said.

“What? Did you think I was just an obedient daughter–in–law who only knows how to cook and serve the elderly at home?”

The once obedient demeanor now seemed repulsive in retrospect.
