Chapter 169 Scheming

In just two short days, Natalie’s original carefree and arrogant demeanor was firmly suppressed by Cedric

However, she was not one to submit easily.

How could she willingly allow Cedric to have the upper hand?

Considering the significant history between her and Cedric, she initially thought that after their divorce, they could go their separate ways without interfering with each other.

Thinking about Cedric’s statement that the information was leaked from the inside, her eyes dimmed.

She glanced at Zane and said, “Bring the Chief Financial Officer over,”
