Chapter 420 Irwin’s Many Faces

No matter how much Natalie had once felt protected by Irwin, the realization that his kindness had

ulterior motives stirred a tempest of emotions within her.

It was almost like a raging flood that had overturned all her consciousness.

That was how Natalie felt.

Yves seemed to have been waiting in the shadows. Upon hearing Irwin’s voice, he emerged from the

darkness and entered the dining room.

Natalie looked at Yves, but he simply nodded at Irwin.

Before she could react…

A cold gleam flashed, and the sound of something splurting…!

Clang!

A dagger was thrown onto the dining table, gleaming ominously among the dishes.

Meanwhile, a trickle of blood stained Yves‘ hand, painting a vivid pattern on the marble floor.

It was a shocking sight.

Natalie was stunned. She couldn’t react as she stared at Irwin silently.

Irwin casually raised his wine glass to take a sip, his eyes never leaving hers.

But his words were directed at Yves, “Well?”

“I apologize,” Yves murmured with a bow.

The two men spoke with a chilling edge. Natalie had never witnessed this side of Irwin. It seemed that

he was revealing his true self after the events at Wexford.

Under those seemingly gentle eyes, he concealed a chilling menace. It was as if he could become cold

and ruthless instantly after smiling warmly.

Yves had been by Irwin’s side for a long time. He was clearly important to him, yet…!

“What are you doing?” Natalie finally managed to speak, but her voice sounded distant. It felt like she

was underwater and almost couldn’t hear herself.

She was clearly shaken by Irwin’s demeanor,

Yes, sir.

Holding his injured arm, Yves left the room.

The staff, seemingly accustomed to such scenes, promptly attended to the aftermath. Yet, their calm

intensified Natalie’s unease.

Irwin was truly terrifying!

Soon, the room was empty except for Natalie and Irwin.

Gone was the icy danger. He wore a gentle smile, looking tenderly at Natalie.

“Do you know why I punished him?”

Natalie was silent.

Obviously, Natalie didn’t want to speak another word to the current Irwin!

Natalie believed that they had dropped all pretenses between them previously. So, Irwin was simply

showing Natalie his true colors now.

“Because he trusted his eyes and ears too much,” Irwin continued.

Natalie remained silent.

Because he trusted his eyes and ears? If one couldn’t trust their own senses, who could they trust?

“Nat, you are someone worthy of respect and admiration,” Irwin said as he poured himself a glass of

red

wine.

Natalie looked at Irwin, and her mind felt as if a strong gust of wind had swept it away.

She stared silently at him, and the coldness in her eyes… grew even more intense.

Yet, Irwin seemed completely unaffected by her frostiness.

“Once, you were just a full–time wife, doing everything to please your husband and mother–in–law.”

Who would have thought you could manage Regal Horizons International, such a large multinational

corporation, so proficiently?”

While Irwin might not think much of it, the fact that Natalie could achieve this, especially starting from

“Even at Regal Horizons, you were under Mr. Jarvis’s protection, living in a sheltered world. But then

returned!”

Silence prevailed.

“Since your tranquility has been disrupted…” Irwin paused, leaving his words hanging.

Yet, Natalie understood.

Was Irwin implying that struggling was futile since she was deep in the mire?

Setting his wine glass down, Irwin approached Natalie. She remained silent, watching him intently.

Coming up behind her, Irwin gently enveloped the petite woman in his embrace.

Finally, Natalie spoke, “Have you ever had the slightest intention of stopping?”

She was referring to Isabella.

Indeed…!

Isabella’s proximity to Cedric had been Irwin’s machination, yet Isabella’s animosity towards Natalie

had

been real.

As events unfolded, the past became irrelevant.

But knowing it was all Irwin’s scheme, she needed to know…

Did he ever waver? Had he ever considered stopping?

“Do you still hold hope for him?” Irwin’s breath caressed her neck, a dangerous undertone present. 1

“Irwin!” she exclaimed.

“No longer addressing me as Mr. Frazier?” he chuckled.

Swiftly lifting her from her chair, he effortlessly sat down on the seat she had occupied, now positioning

her on his lap!

Natalie instinctively struggled, but she felt the man’s firm grip around her slender waist, making it

impossible for her to break free.

“Would you believe my answer?” Irwin gently traced her curves with one hand, softly, like a caress

between lovers.

Silence.

Did she believe him?

She was silent when it came to this question.

If it were before they had a fallout…

She would definitely have believed anything she said.

But now…!

Observing her silence, Irwin smirked, “Believe it or not, what follows will only further cement your

departure from him.”

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t it clear? Regardless of whether this was a conspiracy, the pain he inflicted upon you… was

undeniably real.”

A suffocating realization hit Natalie.

Ever since discovering the connection between Isabella and Irwin, she realized her marriage, her very

relationship with Cedric, might have been Irwin’s elaborate scheme from the start.

Indeed!

Every encounter, every emotion she shared with Cedric, could have been Irwin’s sinister play.

He was truly formidable.

He was terrifyingly adept at manipulating hearts.

His intention was to exact revenge on Cedric. In truth, he didn’t care about who initially crossed paths

with Cedric.

And she… simply found herself caught in the crossfire.

Thus, from the moment she encountered Cedric, she unknowingly got ensnared in this intricate web.

“Irwin, you truly are a terrifying man,” Natalie said slowly.

He was more than that!

He was terrifyingly knowledgeable, and his skills came from mastering everything over the course of

time.
