Chapter 407 As Long as It’s Within My Power

The journey Clyde had undertaken to reach this point was fraught with twists and turns, not to mention the myriad pains and moments of despair he had endured.

How he managed to overcome it all was beyond imagination!

“Enough, it’s all in the past now!” Clyde patted Natalie’s back, trying to console her.

However, from an angle Natalie couldn’t see, a glint of sharpness flashed in Clyde’s eyes.

It took a while before Natalie felt comforted by Clyde. As she settled, Clyde stepped out to make a phone call.

The voice on the other end answered promptly, “Sir!”

“Who has been investigating me?”

Even though he had meticulously erased his past, someone determined enough would undoubtedly uncover it.

Yet, no one would dare to expose such sensitive information casually.

Based on her reaction… did Natalie discover something?

Otherwise, given her nature, she wouldn’t have reached out to him and called him Bro, let

alone embrace him.

The only plausible explanation was that someone was using his past against her.

The voice on the phone soon replied, “It’s Mr. Johnson.”

At this revelation, a shadow crossed Clyde’s eyes.

“I got it,” he replied in a chillingly cold tone.

So, had Cedric used Clyde’s past to threaten Natalie? Was Cedric truly at his wit’s end, and had nothing else to use against her?

Yes, that must be it..

Otherwise, why would Cedric do such a thing?

At lunchtime, Cedric had brought Kayla home to eat.

But an unexpected visitor arrived.

It was Clyde!
