Chapter 172 Take Action

It took a lot of willpower for Christina not to crumble under Cedric’s sharp questioning!

Just when she feared Cedric might ask something else, he finally let her go.

“You can leave now.”

This sentence was like a reprieve for Christina.

She had never wished to escape so badly before.

Before this, she had always tried to spend as much time with him as possible when she could.

But today, he had exuded such an imposing presence.

It was terrifying!

After Christina left, Cedric was alone in the car. It took a long time before the storm in his eyes dissipated.

It was evident that both Rebecca and Christina hadn’t lied.

So… what was Natalie hiding from him?

At Sylvan Gems, as Natalie returned to her office after the meeting, she received a call from Stephen.

His tone was somewhat serious!

“Are you getting close to Cedric again?”

“Uncle!”

“Is he threatening you?”

Natalie sighed, rubbing her temples. “It’s nothing like that.”

“Zane and Karina told me something different. Also, I called Elegance Bay. You didn’t go back yesterday.”

“Karina even said she picked you up from Scarlet Villa!”

Karina!

She really couldn’t keep quiet about these things…

“Don’t be angry with Karina and Zane. Since I placed them by your side, they wouldn’t dare to conceal anything when I asked.”

Natalie was silent.

Fine!

They were both her uncle’s people, after all!

Stephen was a clever man. From what Karina and Zane told him, he had a good grasp or
