Chapter 745
Chapter 745 Can’t Get Her Back It had to be said that things were truly starting now.
As everyone had speculated, things might spiral out of control once she and Irwin end things.
"Natalie, I thought you wouldn't refuse me," Austin said.
"But I did, " Natalie replied flatly.
As she finished speaking, Austin chuckled. His laugh sounded gentle, but it felt strangely eerie to Natalie! She felt irritated at his response. "I'm hanging up." without waiting for Austin to respond, she ended the call abruptly.
Although she had anticipated this situation before divorcing Irwin, Natalie still felt uneasy.
However, even if she had to experience this and more, she wouldn't change her decision. She no longer wanted to be involved with Irwin and Cedric in any way.
Meanwhile, Austin was in Orchid Bay.
Since announcing his recovery, many complicated situations have happened around him.
However, his sharp instincts had driven away many people.
Up until now, even Cole, his subordinate, didn't quite understand why Austin had decided to reveal himself at such a crucial moment. After
all, hiding his identity would have given him more control over everything.
What was the benefit in doing this? So far, it only invited a lot of trouble, especially from the Stewart family.
Ever since Austin announced his recovery, the Stewart family's behavior had been embarrassing. They even sent Alto's ex-wife to Austin, claiming it was a test.
A test? Hah! Because Austin had been ill for years, yvette's father, Tobias Stewart, assumed that Austin hadn't managed to gather much support over the years.
So, Tobias wanted to use his daughter to build a relationship with Austin! Cole couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Luckily, Tobias only had one daughter.
If he had more than one daughter, who knew what an indecisive man like him | would do? Everyone around Austin could keenly feel the intense and tumultuous situation around them after he announced his recovery.
"Ms. Walker rejected your invitation," Cole said.
His tone was bitter, especially after he saw the smile on Austin's lips.
Over the years... Austin had feigned illness, and the people around him had felt the true nature of human relationships.
And now...
Austin understood Cole's thoughts and said, "Don't worry too much. Many
people have coveted the jarvis family's prestige, but none have fared well.
Stephen is a cunning old fox, and Natis his daughter. I'm sure she's a complicated woman." Cole was speechless and surprised at how Austin had addressed Natalie! He had used such an intimate nickname...! Cole had to admit that Austin's sudden announcement of his recovery caught everyone off guard. Then, Austin had affectionally referred to Natalie when speaking about her. It made Cole wonder if Austin's decision had something to do with Natalie.
No, it couldn't be! Austin had always been in Simeria, while Natalie had been living in Verde
City.
Was it... that incident? "Lord Austin!" "She'll agree. Trust me," Austin replied in a deep voice.
Cole fell silent.
She would agree? At this moment, Austin seemed poised for victory. When he spoke in such a profound tone, it felt like he held all the cards in his hands. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Lord Austin, did you already know Ms. Jarvis before this?" Cole asked.
As soon as Cole finished speaking, various images flashed through Austin's mind. The depths of his eyes, usually profound, now flickered with
gentle light.
On the other side, Rebecca had indeed pressed charges against Natalie.
However, things were different for Natalie this time.
No matter what trouble Rebecca stirred up and wanted to publicize, no media company dared to report it.
After all, this was Simeria.
Plus, the matter was also related to the Jarvis family. Even if the media wanted to report it, they had to consult the Jarvis family first.
Crash! Rebecca threw her cup to the ground, shattering the glass into shards that littered all over the floor. As she picked
up the fragments, they grazed her fingers, causing her to wince in pain.
Already angry, she grabbed a pillow from the sofa and hurled it across the room.
Calvin stood nearby, witnessing Rebecca's outburst. Those who had been with her for so long seemed to understand her mood at this moment.
"Who does she think she is to treat me like this?!" Rebecca screamed.
A leopard couldn't change its spots.
Rebecca had made many concessions to Natalie before, but knowing so much now, she became extremely mad. When she thought about how Cedric was missing, Rebecca became hysterical.
Cedric was blind! He had given Natalie everything, and Natalie treated him this way! And her attitude towards Rebecca and the Johnson family...! How could Rebecca bear such disrespect?! "Madam, don't be angry," Calvin said.
"How can I not be angry, Calvin? I'm heartbroken and angry!" Rebecca snapped back.
How could she not be angry? Just thinking about how Cedric had fought against her for Natalie made her feel particularly uncomfortable.
Calvin fell silent.
"Just how powerful is the Jarvis family
here? It's such big news, but no one dares to publish it!" Rebecca fumed.
When she thought about this again, Rebecca's anger flared even higher.
It was as if no one in Simeria could go against the Jarvis family! At Rebecca's words, Calvin's gaze deepened. He replied easily, "Their wealth and power can rival a nation!" Rebecca was speechless, and she stiffened at Calvin's words.
She used to look down on Natalie so much, it was evident. Who could have imagined that Natalie had such a formidable force behind her? If Rebecca had known at the time...
If she had known, how would things be different? She would have treated Natalie even better than Jocelyn! What a pity! But so what if it was a pity? Things had already reached this point, and Rebecca didn't want to dwell on it anymore. Things had already happened, and it was pointless to regret it. There was no turning back now.
After thinking for a moment, Calvin said, "There's one more thing." "What is it?" "The lawyer has rejected everything we proposed." "What do you mean?" Rebecca's face paled at the news.
Calvin remained silent, confirming Rebecca's worst fears. Her already troubled expression turned even graver upon hearing this news. Anger surged relentlessly in her heart! "Does that mean I can't even get my granddaughter back now?"
