Ch. 151..160
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 151-The Best Revenge Girls loved sweets, but many were afraid to indulge too much due to the fear of gaining weight.
Seeing Christina enjoying the treats, the indulgence in Wanda’s eyes deepened.
“Shall I personally make you lunch, Miss?” “Sure!” “What would you like to eat?” “Fish!” “Alright. How about some braised fish?” “Sounds good!” Christina nodded.
She truly liked braised fish.
Wanda looked at her. The more she looked at Christina, the more her fondness toward her grew. The smile on her l*ps widened as she said, “Have a couple more pieces; we’ll have a late lunch!” “Okay.” Watching Christina eat happily like a child gave the cook a great sense of accomplishment.
After Rebecca left the Johnson Mansion, she made a call to investigate Natalie’s whereabouts.
Sylvan Gems was a huge company! Many of the upper–class circle in Verde City admired it greatly.
Unexpectedly, her former daughter–in–law, whom she had despised, became the CEO of an international jewelry company.
At this moment, Rebecca sat in an upscale and solemn meeting room.
The secretary respectfully served her coffee. “Madam Johnson, you may have to wait a while; the CEO is currently in a meeting It’s okay, I’ll wait for her, Rebecca said gently.
His were in the past, and she was asked to wait for Natalie?
ween joks about n Rebecca wouldn’t even be happy if Natalie were the one waiting! Why would she wait for Natalie?
Now, it seemed things had changed completely!
Rebecca had probably never imagined having to wait for two hours just to see Natalie.
This time, she experienced it!
Two hours later, Natalie emerged from the meeting room. A woman holding a draft followed behind her petite figure.
“Ms. Walker, although there were some things between the previous CEO and I that have displeased you, I assure you, my draft is excellent!” “Ms. Walker! Ms. Walker, please take another look…” “Ms. Walker!” The moment the woman wanted to say more, the secretary approached.
Rebecca watched Natalie in the corridor through the glass. Since Natalie started working, this was the first time she saw Natalie in a professional setting It was undeniably impressive.
Was this the same Natalie she used to belittle, the one who dared not resist?
No, the person standing there now had no shadow of the past!
Her petite figure gave off an imposing presence. The woman behind her was clearly taller and in a position to look down on Natalie. Yet, the woman was acting submissive and pleading with Natalie.
As for Natalie?
There was no trace of the easy–going woman who used to be so timid in the Johnson family.
On the contrary, there was only an unfriendly, serious, and formal demeanor on herl In such a short time, she underwent earth–shattering changes, completely standing at the pinnacle of her Unbelievable!
Johnson is waiting for you “Yes, Mr. Johnson’s mother!” Hearing that Rebecca was looking for her, though expected, Natalle still frowned.
The designer behind her said, “Ms. Walker, look at this!” “Layla.” “Yes, ma’am!” Layla understood and stepped forward, blocking the woman who wanted to approach Natalie. “Ms. Yates, please don’t trouble Ms. Walker. It was the headquarters that made this decision. Ms. Walker can’t help you!” The woman still looked as if she wanted to cling to Natalie to plead with her.
However, Natalie was already headed towards the reception room and left the woman behind.
I “Ms. Walker, I won’t survive in this industry if you don’t give me a chance! Please!” The voice from behind grew fainter.
Meanwhile, Rebecca watched Natalie heartlessly approaching her.
The glass door opened automatically.
Natalie stood at the entrance, her petite figure wrapped in professional attire. Despite her short stature, her figure was well–proportioned.
Although she lacked height advantage, it was the first time Rebecca felt a domineering aura from a person with such height.
Their eyes met, and they stood staring at each other. Rebecca moved to open her mouth, but she was unsure of what to say.
It was always tense when they met, especially during their interactions in the Johnson Manor. It could be described as walking on thin ice.
“Did you need something from me? Natalie finally said, breaking the silence.
After Natalie walked in, she pulled out the chair opposite Rebecca and sat down.
Crossing her legs, her slender calves made people wonder how such a small and delicate woman could wade such an imposing presence the surging emotions in her heart.
A secretary brought in coffee. “Ms. Walker, here’s your coffee!” “Thank you!” Natalie took a sip of her coffee, relieving some fatigue from the meeting.
Rebecca also took a sip of her coffee. The sound of the cup clinking against the table when she put it down betrayed her slightly unstable emotions.
She said, “It seems you’re doing well after leaving our family!” “Not as miserable as you might imagine, right?” Natalie’s tone was relatively gentle, but it was precisely the softness of her tone that gave one the impression of being slapped in the face!
Rebecca felt uncomfortable. However, she firmly concealed it, allowing any expression to show.
On Natalie’s part, her life was far from the misery they imagined. The extent of her current life was something they had never anticipated.
“I can tell there’s some resentment in your tone,” Rebecca said with a somewhat bitter tone.
Natalie raised an eyebrow.
Resentment?
“Do you mean I should be grateful for your years of teachings?” Natalie emphasized the word ‘teachings‘ heavily.
In those years at the Johnson family, Rebecca often used the excuse of educating her to visit Scarlet Villa.
When that happened, Natalle had no peace until Cedric returned from work.
Cedric coming home was her salvation.
Looking back, Natalie couldn’t recall how she endured those years.
Teachings? Surely not!” Who am I to impart teachings on you, the CEO of Sylvan Gema? Rebecca softened her tone and adopted:
The CEO of Sylvan Gems!
Sylvan Gems was Regal Horizons International’s subsidiary, an independent jewelry design company with strength that surpassed many peers. novelbin In the early years, they had no idea who was behind Sylvan Gems.
Now, they knew it was Stephen, who was also chairman of Regal Horizons International. It was no wonder Sylvan Gems quickly became a top player in the industry!
“Oh my, you’re too modest!” Natalie said in a mocking tone Even now, she couldn’t let go of her resentment toward the Johnson family or Rebecca.
How could she?
Putting aside how Rebecca had not accepted her, she also had to endure all the torment the older woman had subjected her to.
In the end, Rebecca couldn’t even… tolerate Natalie having a child.
That was her own grandson!
Now, Natalie wondered… How could Rebecca bear to do what she had done back then?
“From the way you speak, it’s clear you still harbor resentment for those things,” Rebecca looked at Natalie, her tone unusually gentle.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 152-Isabella’s Fate If it weren’t for personally experiencing her tactics, Natalie might have thought that the lady before her was no different from other noble wives.
This kind of gentleness seemed as if Rebecca’s past tactics were truly a process to better Natalie as a person!
“It’s not really important if it’s resentment or not, right? After all, I no longer have any relationship with you or the Johnson family!” Resentment?
For people like them, the best revenge was indifference.
Once, they used to press her down. Now, she stood at the pinnacle, making them look up to her.
That was the true torment for them.
Especially now, Natalie felt a sense of satisfaction deep inside as she watched Rebecca struggle with her words.
Finally, she could vent some of the pent–up frustration she had for years!
On the other hand, Rebecca tried to maintain a calm exterior. However, she was constantly enduring a heart–wrenching pain.
“Natalie,” Rebecca said. She felt as if she couldn’t hear her own voice.
Natalie just looked at her silently. She wondered… to what extent Rebecca could go?
However, Rebecca’s pride was nothing compared to what it used to be!
As if she was a different person, Rebecca said to Natalie, “Whatever happened between you and Cedric in the past… It was all my fault.” “In fact, you two are perfect for each other!” Rebecca said hastily. No one knew how embarrassed she felt saying these words.
Hatalle pursed her l*ps and stared at Rebecca. There was a mocking glint in her eyes. When she heard.
cca say such things, Natalie felt something indescribable inside!
when she saw how Natalie remained allent. When she o mockery in M “I know that you probably think I’m here because of your uncle, Rebecca said, trying to break the silence.
*Did I make a mistake in thinking so?” Natalie replied, her tone carrying a hint of amusement and a mocking smile on her face.
She pressed Rebecca relentlessly.
Her attitude was unyielding, leaving no room for escape. Natalie never would have thought that things would come to such an embarrassing situation between her and Rebecca.
Yet, she was not bothered by it.
Ever since her divorce from Cedric, she had never thought about how to deal with the people from the Johnson family Hatred was there, but it wasn’t something she dwelled on.
Natalie never thought of doing anything to get revenge for this hatred. Yet, here was Rebecca, willingly delivering herself to Natalie on a silver platter.
This made it different.
Rebecca took a deep breath and continued, “You know how it is. In marriages between elite families, it’s a real disadvantage if one side truly lacks background.” *Putting aside what happened previously… If Cedric were on the weaker side, do you think your relationship could have lasted?” “Madam Johnson, mind your words!” Natalie’s expression changed.
At this moment, her expression was gloomy. Rebecca was shocked to see how fast Natalie’s expression had changed.
Just as Rebecca was about to say something, the automatic glass door opened, and a well–dressed man stood respectfully at the entrance.
Ma Walker, there’s a document that needs your signature.
to my office Natale said to Zane without turning around.
on Rebecce, When Zane addresse It was obvious she was in turmoil internally.
After Zane left, Rebecca said, “Get back together with Cedric and remarry him. I won’t interfere in your affairs anymore.” Natalie didn’t respond, but her cold demeanor was clear to Rebecca.
“I know it’s not easy for you, Natalie. But ask yourself, how has Cedric treated you all these years?” “Every time we had conflicts, Cedric was always on your side and protecting you.” Protecting Natalie?!
Yes. In Rebecca’s view, Cedric had always protected Natalie.
However… “No amount of protection can outweigh his own sins!” Natalie was referring to the matter between Cedric and Isabella.novelbin “There’s nothing between them!” Rebecca shot back.
Whenever Natalie mentioned Cedric’s sins, Rebecca knew she was talking about Isabella.
Rebecca had to admit that she used to be grateful to Isabella because of Ivan. However, now this so- called benefactor had become a trouble that couldn’t be easily removed.
“And as for Jocelyn, there was never anything between them either! You know that best, don’t you?” She would say it a thousand times if she had to in order for Natalie to believe that. In Rebecca’s heart, all the wrongs against Natalie were her doing, and Cedric was blameless.
That was probably how mothers were.
At crucial moments, they protected their sons!
Natalie glanced at Rebecca and said, “Do you think that the conflicts between us are the only reason things ended?” Jon’t it?” “There’s nothing between him and Isabella or Jocelyn,” Rebecca stated.
Previously, she wouldn’t have explained any of this The worse the relationship between Natalie and Cedric, the better.
But who would have expected Rebecca to personally come to repair this relationship and even humble herself in front of Natalie?
Before Natalie could speak, Rebecca continued, “Isabella is Ivan’s sister, and she’s naturally the responsibility of the Johnson family. But, Natalie, you know my temper!” “I can’t agree to them being together, you know that!” Natalie knew, and perhaps that was why Rebecca was so desperate.
“Although it’s not pleasant to say such things, Isabella is quite cunning! Think carefully about things between you and Cedric, hmm?” Rebecca was applying pressure while saying kind words!
Mockery was not the only thing in Natalie’s eyes.
Rebecca stood up, ready to leave.
Natalie put down her coffee cup and said, “Madam Johnson.” “What is it?” “There is no need to consider anything. Let me give you an answer directly.” “I understand your concerns, but it’s impossible for anything to happen again between Cedric and me. Use this time to find someone else!” So, it was because of Isabella!
It made sense Rebecca was truly in a difficult position regarding Isabella. The dynamic between them was different. Aber all, Isabells was Ivan’s sister.
Even if she didn’t agree, she couldn’t be too forceful in her attitude.
That’s why Rebecca was in a hurry, settling Cedric’s lifelong matter like this and preventing any opportunities for others.
The direction Rebecca headed was correct, but she was too greedy!
After hearing Natalie’s response, Rebecca’s expression changed!
Looking at Natalie, a hint of uncertainty flashed in her eyes. “Natalie, he’s always been good to you!” “What does it matter?” “Hmm… You might not know this, huh?” “What?” “Isabella is my half–sister. We have the same father.” Rebecca was speechless!
Her mind was blank, and her ears were buzzing. Her vision instantly turned dark Isabella was Natalie’s sister?!
Before this… Before…!!
Watching Rebecca’s ever–changing expression, Natalie stood up and looked at Rebecca with a smile.
“So, what would happen if she really married Cedric? How would outsiders view your Johnson family?” Rebecca remained silent.
Her already unfavorable complexion became even more strained at this moment.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 153-The So–Called Carefree Life The Johnson family had always been conscious of their image and cared deeply about appearances.
Now, they found themselves unexpectedly entangled in such a mess.
What on earth was happening?
Rebecca and Elizabeth were both relatively traditional women, so this situation was beyond what they could accept.
“W–what is going on?” Rebecca’s mind was completely in chaos at this moment.
What was happening here?
Isabella was Natalie’s sister.
Natalie was Cedric’s ex–wife.
And now that Natalie had divorced Cedric, Isabella was residing in the Johnson Manor?!
The relationships were getting incredibly complicated!
Natalie interrupted her thoughts and said, “What’s happening? I don’t have time to explain to you.” Glancing at her wristwatch, she ignored Rebecca and walked away.
“Wait!” As Natalie reached the doorway, Rebecca called out. Her face was pale, and even her voice was novelbin trembling!
Natalie paused and turned her head slightly. “Is there anything else?” “Then… What do you think of her?” Rebecca blurted out, referring to Isabella.
In her current state of confusion, Rebecca even blurted out such a question!
Isabella was Natalie’s sister. But based on their previous involvement, it seemed that they didn’t have a good relationship.
Natalie responded sharply, “What do you think?” Even a fool could piece together this tangled relationship in the shortest time. Isabella had been asking for Natalie’s eyes for the longest time.
What exactly could Natalie think of her?
“Alright, I understand.” Natalie was silent.
Rebecca continued, “I’ll handle this matter and give you and Cedric another chance. How about that?” Even at this moment, Rebecca was still trying to negotiate.
But she was not a fool.
The delicate handling of such an unsightly relationship required caution, and it would reflect the attitude of the Johnson family.
However, Rebecca’s self–righteousness made Natalie laugh.
It was a laugh full of irony.
“A chance? Haha!*
Without providing a direct response, she left without looking back.
A chance between her and Cedric?
Natalie found the idea amusing She didn’t even have a chance for herself, so how could she provide a chance to someone else?
Although the relationship between Rebecca and Natalie had not improved, at least Rebecca had taken a step forward, even if it was one–sided on her end.
However, the situation in the Johnson Manor was different.
At this moment, Christina smiled smugly as she looked at Isabella lying on the bed.
“I gave you freedom, but you didn’t appreciate it!” “Christina, you’ll meet a miserable end!” Isabella shouted feebly.
But her voice was barely audible, indicating how weak she currently was.
Christina’s triumphant expression faded, and a sinister glint flashed in her eyes.
Everyone outside is saying that the Johnson family is repaying you by bringing you to live in the manor.
They say you’ll live a carefree life for the rest of your days, and that you’ll also enjoy wealth and prosperity!
Carefree life? Wealth and prosperity?
Hahl “I want to see him!” Isabella didn’t want to talk much with Christina. In this short time at the Johnson Manor, she had already faced the hardships head–on!
Christina’s hostility, especially, was the main reason her days were unbearable.
Isabella couldn’t even think about her revenge against Natalie at this moment.
In fact, did Natalie ever have a good time in the Johnson family?
Christina was Rebecca’s adopted daughter, and she received much affection from Rebecca. Rebecca also trusted Christina a lot, and she was also against Natalie.
In short, Natalie’s life here must have been hell.
In that case, didn’t Isabella indirectly save her?
Forcing Cedric to divorce Natalie was the real salvation from hell.
But what about Isabella now?
Was this some kind of retribution?
“See him? Isabella, you still don’t understand what’s going on, huh? Mom said you two absolutely cannot be alone privately!” Christina’s tone was even more triumphant when she spoke these words.
Isabella’s face turned pale.
She wasn’t allowed to be alone with Cedric?
Didn’t that mean they were preventing her from seeing Cedric?
Despite their claim of repaying a debt, it was more of…!
abella’s heart skipped a beat, and a bitter taste rose in her throat. However, she firmly shoved those feelings away.
Christinar Tve said it before, I don’t have any feelings for him!” “Who believes your nonsense?” Christina retorted harshly just as Isabella finished speaking.
Isabella’s l*ps quivered.
She hadn’t expected that in such a short time, she would be trapped in a cage that was the Johnson Manor.
Before she could respond, Christina continued, “Whether it’s in Verde City or outside Verde City, how many people admire him? How many people have I gotten rid of?” Isabella remained silent.
“I’ve seen people like you countless times!” “Christina!” “Do you know what those people said when I caught them? ‘I have nothing to do with him. It’s not like you think. I have no feelings for him.” Hah!” Christina said the latter parts while mimicking Isabella’s tone. The mockery in her tone caused Isabella’s feelings to show more clearly on her face.
What a demon!
Christina was a demon!
That was Isabella’s thoughts. Christina… was the biggest demon behind the scenes!
“So, are you trying to tell me that you also orchestrated Natalie’s days in the Johnson family?” Isabella asked.
“People who admire him won’t have a good ending!” Every word from Christina was ruthless and filled with venom!
Isabella’s complexion had turned a ghastly pale. She couldn’t believe entering the Johnson family would become her worst nightmare.
From Christina’s words, she could gather a glimpse of the kind of days Natalie had experienced in the Johnson family.
She wanted to close her eyes, but there was no sensation. The darkness that met her open eyes was forifying She felt helpless and desperate, but there was nothing she could do.
Since moving into the Johnson family, Rebecca hadn’t visited her once. The genuine emotions expressed in the hospital were now replaced by indifference.
Even Cedric hadn’t come to see her.
“Christina, you’re so ruthless!” “Hmph!” *Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Madam Johnson about your true colors?” Isabella brought up Rebecca, but it only made Christina burst into laughter.
“You still don’t get it? Not letting you be alone with Ced was Mom’s idea.” Isabella was shocked and speechless!
Her last hope was crushed!
If this was Rebecca’s decision, she wouldn’t be able to see Cedric even if he came to the Johnson Manor!
“Isabella, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t take it.” Christina said triumphantly and left, her high heels echoing in the distance.
Listening to the fading sound, Isabella frantically stood up and fumbled towards a nearby cabinet. Midway, she tripped over a chair and fell to the ground. Her legs throbbed in pain, but no one paid attention to her.
They promised to take good care of her after she moved into the Johnson family, but now… The pain in her legs was excruciating, and it took a while for her to stand up. When she did, there were beads of sweat on her forehead due to the pain.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 154-Today’s Bonus Offer Chapter 154 Chapter 154 Utter Chaos Isabella fl*pped through her suitcase–the one Yuvan had personally delivered and placed in the cabinet.
She opened it, searching for her phone. However, after going through the empty suitcase and feeling through each piece of clothing, she still couldn’t find her phone anywhere.
“Ms. Morgan, it’s time for your medication, a servant’s voice came from outside.
Then she heard the servant say in a displeased tone, “Why did you mess up the room like this?” Isabella asked in the same displeased tone, “Where’s my phone?” She needed to make a call!
She had to call Yuvan and Cedric.
She needed to leave this place!
Christina… she was too terrifying!
What she had seen before was nothing compared to now.
This time, Christina had truly revealed her true colors before Isabella.
Isabella had to admit that the woman was frightening!
She shuddered to think what kind of poisonous methods Christina had used to deal with all the other women who had once pursued Cedric.
Poisonous wasn’t even an exaggerated description when it came to Christinal Christina liked Cedric, and she adored him. That was an overwhelming kind of love. If she couldn’t have him, she would destroy anyone who tried to take him!
In the end, only she would remain.
That was Christina’s goal.
“Ms. Johnson said your eyes are not in good condition right now, If you need or want to contact someone, just let us know directly. She has already taken your phone!” The servant said flatly, her voice devoid of any sympathy.
This kind of Indifference made Isabella even angrier.
right does she have to take my things? she roared, the sound reverberating in the room but unable “Ms. Morgan, you should just be content. The Johnson family will take care of everything you need. All you have to do is take care of eating and sleeping!” The servant’s words essentially meant for Isabella to wait for death passively!
Thinking about her situation, Isabella felt a chill up her spine. She had never imagined she would end up in such a plight. novelbin First, she lost her eyesight with no hope of recovery.
Now, this…!
It was as if she couldn’t go to heaven, but there was no way to get into hell either!
The servant put down the medicine and left, leaving Isabella alone in the room. She didn’t bother to tidy up the now chaotic space and headed straight to Christina to report.
“She wants to call Master Cedric,” “I see!” Christina nodded with a smile.
She wanted to call Cedric!?
She was deluding herself!
Since the first day Isabella came here, Christina had confiscated her phone. Now, if she wanted to contact anyone, she had to get Christina’s permission.
“Take good care of her, understood?” “Yes, ma’am!” The servant nodded.
Taking good care of her was a must. Christina wouldn’t mistreat Isabella openly; after all, Rebecca was watching.
However, there was much more that Christina wouldn’t allow under her watch.
Moreover, not allowing her to contact Cedric was Rebecca’s decision. And if Isabella were to complain to Rebecca, it would be pointless.
becca always believed Christina’s side of the story!
servant left, Christina glanced at her newly done nails in a great mood Just then, her phone rang.
It was a call from that person.
She answered, “Hello.” “Your mother went to Sylvan Gems today to meet Natalie.” “What?” Christina was shocked. Her face changed when she heard this news, and her previously good mood soured.
“It seems like she couldn’t get anything from the Lamberts, so she wants to focus on Natalie. After all, Stephen is Natalie’s uncle. So, the Johnson family won’t lose out!” “Heh, is that so? Christina sneered.
So, Natalie was now an available option.
She thought that Rebecca was prideful enough that she wouldn’t go looking for Natalie. She assumed Rebecca would look for another young lady from one of the wealthy families.
Now, it seemed that Rebecca’s pride wasn’t as strong as Christina thought.
And as for her original lack of urgency, now she probably…!
She narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, “I got it.” After that, she hung up the phone. Her clear, bright eyes were now covered in a sinister glint.
After Rebecca left, Natalie returned to her office. She scrolled through her phone with long, slender fingers.
Zane came in. “Ms. Walker!” Do I have anything on for tomorrow?” Zane checked the schedule. “Mr. Lynch from the state of Emerald is coming tomorrow. Would you like to meet him?:
Natalie shook her head. “You handle it. If there’s nothing else important, I have some personal matters to attend to tomorrow.
Alright!
After Zane left, Natalie reached into the drawer and took out the exhibition ticket her uncle had given her before.
As Stephen had predicted, now that their relationship was exposed…!
Her world was on the verge of collapse.
Rebecca’s appearance today also made her realize what she was facing now, and it seemed that there would be more to come.
Tapping on her phone, she called Irwin, who answered promptly in a gentle voice.
This was the first time Natalie had called him outside of work matters.
“Do you have some time tomorrow?” “Hmm? What for?” “There’s an art exhibition. I want you to accompany me.” “Sure.” “How about we leave together from Elegance Bay at ten tomorrow morning?” She probably wouldn’t come into the company tomorrow.
“Wait a moment.” The man on the other end didn’t immediately agree. Natalie heard Irwin discussing the time with his secretary.
Soon, he said, “I have a morning meeting. Send me the location of the art exhibition, and I’ll meet you there directly.” “Okay.
After she hung up, Natalie looked at the address on the exhibition ticket and sent a photo of it to Irwin. The man must be busy, as he didn’t reply this time.
After a meeting in the afternoon, Natalie finished organizing her work. With nothing much else to do, she Called Blanca.
“Hey. Want to have dinner together?” “Sure, I’m done here. I’ll come to you right away.” “No need. I’ll pick you up!” Natalie said.
“Nice. 17l be waiting!” With that, she hung up. Natalie stood up, put on her coat, grabbed her bag, and headed out.
As she walked to the lobby, someone entered from the front door.
It was Christina.
Natalie’s eyes dimmed when she saw her. The receptionist approached, but Christina went straight to Natalie.
“Miss… The receptionist felt a bit annoyed as Christina strutted around as if she owned the place.
Natalie waved her hand dismissively. The receptionist breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back.
Christina surveyed the surroundings. This was the first time Christina met Natalie with a purpose since Natalie divorced Cedric.
“Not bad. I heard about it before, but seeing it now, it’s still a bit surprising!” The mocking tone concealed her envy, especially when she noticed the handmade custom outfit on Natalie.
Back when Natalie was with Cedric, she used to wear limited edition items that were enough to make Christina jealous.
Now that Natalie had left the Johnson family, she seemed to be doing better than expected instead of the anticipated downfall!
“Why are you here?” Natalie asked in an icy tone as she raised her wrist to check the time. Christina’s emotions surged when she saw the style and brand of the watch on Natalie’s wrist.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 155-Karma Christina scanned her surroundings and said, “Are you sure you want to talk with me here, out in the open?
Natalie replied, “I have other things to attend to. If it’s not something urgent, come back tomorrow… no, the day after tomorrow.” “You’re quite the busy person now. It makes sense. You’re the founder of Auro Studio and the CEO of Sylvan Gems,” Christina remarked as she looked at Natalie, who was a head shorter than herself.
When Natalie was in the Johnson family. Christina’s jealousy was mainly directed at her position as Mrs.
Johnson.
After the divorce, they had no grievances or conflicts. But now, Natalie’s dazzling identities seemed to stir up something within the Johnson family!
The call she just had with a certain person flashed through her mind, and the anger in her heart burned hotter!
Natalie asked, “Ten minutes. Is that enough?” “Fine.” In the end, the two found a spot in the lounge area.
The receptionist quickly brought two cups of coffee, and Christina took a sip.
Despite being just the adopted daughter of the Johnson family, her gestures were still elegant. It was evident that Rebecca had taught her well and had molded her into a proper member of the Johnson family.
“My mother came to see you today, right?” Christina’s gaze sharpened when she put down her coffee cup and looked at Natalie.
This kind of sharpness was not unfamiliar to Natalie; she had seen it many times in the Johnson family.
“What do you want to say?” Natalie responded indifferently.
When she heard this, Christina smiled and casually ran her fingers through her curly hair, and her well- done nails accentuated her overall image.
Natalie couldn’t help but feel regretful; such a good appearance was wasted on her.
Chatine didn’t directly answer Natalie’s question but took out her phone. She opened a video and Natalie didn’t take the phone.
“What is this?” “Why, it’s Isabella! I thought you might be curious about how she’s doing in the Johnson family now.” Christina continued to smile, but the smile at this moment was somewhat unsettling.
Natalie steadied her emotions and didn’t reach for the phone. She said coldly, “I’m not interested.” “She once made a great effort to take your life, you know?” Christina remarked.
Natalie remained silent, refusing to look at the phone. Christina didn’t get angry; she simply put the phone away.
“Her current life in the Johnson family is not as good as yours back then.” As soon as she said that, a cold gleam flashed in Natalie’s eyes. She looked at the seemingly angelic Christina and said with an even colder tone, “It seems you don’t cherish your identity as the adopted daughter of the Johnson family very much.” In Natalie’s eyes, even though Christina was just the adopted daughter of the Johnson family, Rebecca had always treated her as her own. Rebecca provided her with almost anything she desired.
However, Christina… Seeing Christina’s expression turning cold, Natalie’s smile became mocking. “What if your so–called mother knew about the feelings you harbor toward him? What would happen?” Of course, she was referring to Christina’s feelings for Cedric!
Natalie had always known why Christina targeted her so relentlessly during her time in the Johnson family. The first time Christina singled her out, Natalie had mentioned it to Cedric However, she received nothing but the man’s reprimand at that time.
It was the first time Cedric had shouted at her.
Since then, Natalie never brought it up again because she understood what kind of Image Christina had in the hearts of the Johnson family members.
They saw her as a well–behaved girl. Even if others spoke against her, no one would believe it.
What do you think your position is in my brother’s heart? Christina asked, and Natalie understood the darin behind her words When Natalie had said those things to Cedric, nob*dy believed her. If others said it, they wouldn’t believe It either. On the contrary, it might make the Johnson family members resentful.
From Natalie’s perspective, Rebecca and Cedric’s trust in Christina was blind. They didn’t have any doubt or suspicion toward her.
“Heh, you’re quite pathetic.” Natalie said as she picked up her coffee. “Even if I divorce him, even if you torment Isabella to death… The position of the Johnson family’s young mistress will never be yours.” In fact, when Rebecca approached her today, Natalie had a rough idea of what had occurred on Jocelyn’s end.
The situation undoubtedly involved Christina.
“You secretly scheme against everyone who may be close to Cedric, but you don’t dare to show a hint of your affection for him before any of the Johnson family members!” Natalie continued, undeterred.
Because you know very well that their favor toward you has limits. And that limit is Cedric, whom you secretly like.” “Enough” Christina erupted.
Without hesitation, Natalie laid bare all of Christina’s thoughts.
“See, even if I casually mention it, you get angry. Don’t worry, there are no Johnson family members here. As you expect, nob*dy here believes what I say. Why are you so anxious?” “You..
“Time is up!” Natalie said and stood, her tone dripping with mockery and disdain.
She knew why Christina had come knocking on her door today.
It was merely because Christina heard about Rebecca looking for Natalie that Christina became anxious.
She cast a disdainful glance at Christina from above and sneered. Then, she left without saying anything else. Her footsteps echoed as she walked away in her high heels. novelbin Christina’s chest heaved continuously A wicked glint appeared in her eyes when she lowered her head.
picked up Biancs, and Natalie couldn’t help but smile when she saw Bianca in her professional “Why are you smiling?” Seeing her in good spirits, Bianca was happy for her!
Initially, when Natalie first mentioned wanting to divorce Cedric, Bianca had some concerns. Little did she know that things would go so smoothly for her afterward.
Natalie glanced at her and said, “Remember the day I invited you for breakfast?” “When was that?” “The day I talked about divorce.” It was the first time Natalie had confided in Blanca about wanting to divorce Cedric Bianca raised an eyebrow. “What about it?” “When I saw you that morning, you wore the same outfit!” On that morning, Natalie deeply admired Bianca.
“Rare for a busy person like you to have such a good memory.” Of course, it was good!
After all, she envied Blanca that day.
“That day, I was really confused about what the future held,” Natalie said.
Bianca nodded. “Although I had been advising you to leave Cedric before that, I was genuinely worried about you when you actually brought it up.” Natalie was silent.
“The Johnson family people are really something, huh?!” Bianca would get a bit angry whenever they talked about the Johnson family.
And speaking of the Johnson family, Natalie said, “Rebecca came to see me today.” Bianca raised an eyebrow.
Finally, huh?” Teen finally “She asked me to remarry Cedric.” “Does she have no shame?!” Natalie chuckled. “I’ve never seen her so gentle before.”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 158-Dim–witted Half an hour later, Natalie met Bianca in a café and recounted the situation between Cedric and Irwin..
Bianca was also shocked.
“Irwin is Apex Global’s CEO! How did Cedric manage to do that?” Bianca wondered.
“I don’t know,” Natalie shook her head.
She didn’t know how Cedric had managed to get Irwin out of Verde City, but the current situation was clearly not in her favor.
Bianca looked at Natalie with concern. Cedric’s proposal for remarriage, wasn’t a joke!
“Bia, why don’t you temporarily put aside what you’re working on and leave Verde City for a while?” Natalie suggested.
“Will he come after me next?‘ Bianca grumbled.
Natalie silently observed her. Bianca also recalled the incident of the previous divorce case.
Cedric had a substantial infuence in Verde City. Whatever he wanted to do, there was no one to stop him.
He was ruthless to everyone, and that included Natalie!
“From what I can tell, it seems like he has settled Isabella’s matter and has turned his attention back to you,” Blanca remarked.
Natalie was silent.
“He probably agreed to the divorce previously because you kept pestering him about it. Since he had no time on his hands to handle it, he probably used it as a method to temporarily coax you!” “What do you mean?” That shameless guy never had the intention of letting you go.” Natalie’s face turned pala He never planned on letting her go?!
Hearing Bianca’s words and the fact that Irwin had hastily left Verde City left an ominous feeling in the air.
“Perhaps you should leave Verde City to avoid him, Blanca suggested after thinking for a moment:
“I’m not leaving!” Natalie asserted.
“I can’t leave now!” If there was nothing holding her back, it wouldn’t be a problem to leave now.
However, putting aside her current commitments at Auro Studio, she was still the CEO of Sylvan Gems.
She couldn’t up and leave just because she wanted to.
“Don’t panic. Just carry on with your work and see what he’s up to,” Bianca advised.
Both of them knew that when Cedric went mad, there were no boundaries.
After leaving the café, Natalie couldn’t shake off Bianca’s words about Cedric turning his attention back to her and everything else she had said.
The more she thought about it, the more chaotic her mind became!
Natalie was reluctant to admit, but… there was a possibility that what Bianca said was right.
If Cedric had never intended to let her go then why had he forced Natalie and Isabella to live together in her previous life?
What the hell was that for?
Natalie’s breathing sped up as she continued to think Bianca’s words and the scene from the last life where Cedric refused to divorce her kept replaying in her mind.
She couldn’t help but tremble.
Last time, Cedric was unwilling to divorce her, even if it meant burning her to death.
So, how could he easily let her go in this life?
Just then, her phone vibrated. Natalle checked to see it was Stephen calling.
Trying her best to calm down, she answered, “Hello, Uncle!” Did you call me just now?
“Yes.
“What happened?” Natalie was currently sitting in her car, and she raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sun.
“Nothing much.” After thinking it over, she decided not to tell Stephen. Maybe she and Bianca were too sensitive at this stage?
“I have a meeting now, so I’m hanging up. Call me if you need anything, okay?” “Sure.” After hanging up the call, Natalie ran her hand over her face, Various emotions flashed on her face.
Cedric .!
Natalie thought she would no longer be involved with this man after she had divorced him.
But… she was really wrong!
If this m If this man was so easily shaken off, she wouldn’t have ended up burnt to ashes in her previous life.
In the evening, Natalie returned to Elegance Bay, and Nigel greeted her respectfully, “Miss, you’re finally back.” “What’s going on?” Natalie asked as she handed her bag to him.
Nigel replied, “Dinner has been ready for a while.” Natalie checked the time on her wristwatch; it was a bit late, already past dinner time.
As she went inside, she told Nigel, “In the future, have dinner prepared a bit later.” “Yes, ma’am.” After all, her work usually ended around this time. And if she did any overtime, she would be home even Tater than this.
Following Natalie’s request, the meal prepared for her was simple. It would have been extravagant if it novelbin were according to Stephen’s preference.
Having grown up being thrifty, Natalie found such extravagance a waste. Although her parents had left her it, she wouldn’t have been able to make ends meet.
Natalie was only halfway through her meal when a commotion outside reached her ears. She glanced at Nigel, who was also looking outside.
“Go and see what’s happening!” “Yes, ma’am.” Nigel was about to step out when someone burst through the entrance!
Leon was following behind the person, and they seemed to have just had a scuffle.
Natalie’s heart sank when she saw who it was.
“Mr. Johnson, it’s quite late now. Our mistress has been working all day and is tired. Please leave!” Nigel said as he stepped forward to block Cedric.
Cedric stood where he was and smirked at Natalie, ignoring Nigel. His silence carried an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Leon was furious. He was standing in a way that indicated he was ready for action.
If Natalie gave the order, things would surely escalate!
However, Natalie didn’t.
She knew that if Cedric had forced his way in here today, it must be because he had prepared beforehand!
He never acted without a contingency plan.
“Nigel, he’s a guest. What are you doing?” Natalie looked at Cedric and spoke up, emphasizing the word ” guest.” At Natalie’s words, Nigel stepped aside. Seeing how Natalie said nothing else, Nigel remained quiet as Cedric sat opposite her.
Like a master, he ordered the servants, ‘Bring another set of utensils!” I didn’t know you were coming, so they didn’t prepare extra,” Natalie said immediately after.
Natalie was already annoyed by Cedric’s Intrusion, but now he was acting like the master here!
As she finished speaking the air around him noticeably chilled. The next moment, the dining table was overturned with a loud crash.
Natalie was still holding her utensils, and she was a bit slow to react to the sudden scene. The sev on the scene were even more shocked and gasped in surprise.
After a while, Natalie snapped back to reality!
She glared fiercely at Cedric, her head throbbing with anger.
‘Cedric, are you out of your mind?!” Not only did he barge in, but he also fl*pped the table?!
How dare he? Who the hell did he think he was?!
He was crazy.
He was wholly and utterly crazy!
Facing Cedric at this moment, Natalie instantly felt that what she mentioned to Irwin during the day was nothing compared to this.
This was true madness.
In the face of Natalie’s anger, Cedric seemed completely indifferent.
A patronizing yet icy smile spread on his l*ps as he said, “What’s so great about eating alone? Come, I’ll take you to eat something delicious!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 156-Finally, huh?” Teen finally “She asked me to remarry Cedric.” “Does she have no shame?!” Natalie chuckled. “I’ve never seen her so gentle before.” Chapter 156 Chapter 156 Art Exhibition When their food arrived, Bianca took a sip of her red wine and then said to Natalie, “I’m reminding you now, you better keep a clear head.” She was referring to the matter with Rebecca.
Both Natalie and Bianca had expected Rebecca to approach Natalie after the revelation of Natalie’s relationship with Stephen.
However, they didn’t expect her to come so quickly.
“If she had even a slight liking for you before, she wouldn’t be coming to you now, right?” Bianca’s words implied that Rebecca’s sudden interest was not about Natalie but something else.
Natalie responded, “It’s because of Isabella.” “Isabella?” “Isabella has gone completely blind, right? Somehow, the story about Isabella and Ivan has spread in high society. The Johnson family was concerned about the impact, so they had to bring Isabella back.” “So you mean Rebecca is worried that Cedric will get together with Isabella?” “Yes.” Bianca scoffed. “This old hag! I should’ve known.” “And I’m guessing there have been some problems with the Lambert family!” Otherwise, why would Rebecca be so anxious?
Bianca exclaimed, “My goodness, it’s chaotic enough!” Indeed, if Rebecca’s concern was only about Cedric and Isabella, she could have directly sealed the deal with the Lambert family Instead, she approached Natalie. This indicated that while she was on guard against Isabella, she couldn’t find a suitable solution for the other issue.
And Nataliew A With Stephen as her support, she was the best option for Rebecca.
it things seem to be going the way Christine wants it to go, Blanca pointed out Christina had always liked Cedric, Natalie had warned Cedric about it from the beginning, but that time… Cedric had scolded her, and she hadn’t brought it up since.
“It’s useless,” Natalie said while cutting her steak.
If Rebecca had to pick between Christina and Isabella, she would surely pick the latter. She would never Cedric!
allow Christina to marry Natalie was confident in this.
“It’s like she’s obsessed with Cedric! There’s something seriously wrong with her. Don’t be foolish and get involved with them again, okay? Stay away from her!” Bianca said in obvious concern.
Over the years, Christina had done many things against Natalie behind her back. Natalie was well aware of it “Don’t worry. I’m not that stupid. Why would I choose to suffer in the Johnson family when I’m living such a carefree life now? I wouldn’t do that unless I’ve gone crazy!!” Natalie replied.
“That’s reassuring to hear,” Bianca said, finally feeling relief.
Natalie thought for a moment and then looked at Bianca. “But I’m quite satisfied with Rebecca’s attitude today.” “Feeling relieved?” Bianca asked.
“Yeah,” Natalie replied. It was indeed a relief. Making Rebecca bow down wasn’t an easy feat. Even though Natalie had severed ties with the Johnson family, seeing Rebecca concede brought her a sense of satisfaction.
As Rebecca had warned before, it was best not to be delusional!
Bianca couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, how is Isabella doing in the Johnson family now?” Looking at Natalie’s cheerful demeanor, she couldn’t resist asking.
“Not good,” Natalie replied.
It didn’t take much imagination to figure out that things weren’t going well. With Christina’s presence and her suspicion about Isabella’s feelings for Cedric, the care Isabella received would surely be memorable.
“That’s a kind of indirect retribution. You don’t need to worry about It,” Blanca commented.
IL Looking at Natalie’s situation, Blanca could finally see that evildoers would have their own retribution do save time to worry about them. I’m busy with work!
“That’s true, you’re a big shot now!” Bianca teased her.
Natalie rolled her eyes at Bianca!
In Bianca’s eyes, Natalie is lucky. Without Stephen, her separation from Cedric would have been the beginning of hardship.
Isabella’s hatred towards Natalie aimed to drag her into the mud If Natalie didn’t have Stephen’s support, it was evident that there would have been many waiting for her ahead.
obstacles novelbin Back at the Johnson Manor, Christina’s expression changed when she returned and heard that Rebecca had gone to see Isabella. She handed her bag and coat to Wanda before heading to the guest room.
Isabella had a lot plans on her mind, and Christina needed to be cautious.
Outside the guest room, Christina heard Rebecca’s stern voice from inside, “You’re her sister?! What are you up to?” Isabella remained silent.
“Tell me the truth! Did you come to Verde City just to get revenge on her?!” Rebecca’s anger escalated as she spoke.
This was unbelievable!
Inside the guest room, Isabella’s face turned pale.
“I want to see Ced. Ced… Isabella began.
“Shut up!” When Isabella mentioned Cedric, a fierce glint flashed in Rebecca’s eyes. She stood up and glared at Isabella.
“Be a good girl and stay put. Our family won’t mistreat you, but if you dare harbor any unnecessary thoughts… Don’t blame me for retaliating Aher saying that Rebecca walked out.
bele trembled. As Rebecca left, Isabells instinctively reached out, but her hand grasped nothing her feeling helpless, like she was worthless and incapable of doing anything When Rebecca emerged, she saw Christina outside.
“When did you come back?” “Just now.” “Come with me.” Rebecca decided after some thought.
Christina obediently nodded.
In front of Rebecca, Christina always behaved obediently. Back in the main building, the two of them went to the study. Wanda saw them entering and greeted them with a cheerful smile, especially when she noticed Christina.
Sensing Rebecca’s bad mood, Christina chose to ignore her.
As soon as the door to the study closed, Rebecca said, “Immediately find a house in the state of Sapphire. Also, arrange for servants and everything else!” “What do you mean, Mom?” Christina asked.
“Send Isabella to live in Sapphire!” Rebecca thought for a moment. In her current state, Isabella was definitely not suitable to remain at the Johnson Manor.
The negative impact was too significant.
Nnever in her wildest dreams would she have imagined Isabella to be Natalie’s sister.
The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she becamel Being as clever as she was, Rebecca had experienced many ups and downs in the Johnson family over the years.
According to Christina, Isabella was very cunning. She must have had plans before making her way to Verde City.
At this moment, any gratitude Rebecca felt toward Ivan evaporated. Instead, all she could think of was the potential trouble Isabella might bring to the Johnson family.
“Mom, what happened? Christina, appearing as if she knew nothing, approached.
From Christina’s perspective, keeping Isabella under her watchful eyes was the safest option, lanced at Christina and said, “Isabella is Natalie’s sister. Did you know about this?
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 157-Cedric’s Changes The revelation that Isabella was Natalie’s sister shocked and angered Rebecca..
Immediately, she called Cedric to return to the Johnson Manor. When Cedric arrived, Rebecca and Christina went downstairs.
As they walked down the stairs, Rebecca instructed, “This has to be dealt with quickly. You should go to Sapphire immediately.” “Okay. I understand,” Christina nodded obediently, portraying the image of a well–behaved girl.
Christina sat in the hall, contemplating the situation. Meanwhile, Rebecca urged her to leave.
“Go now,” Rebecca pushed Christina gently.
“Okay,” Christina reluctantly agreed.
She preferred to stay at home whenever Cedric returned, but now, she had no choice but to comply with Rebecca’s words.
Concealing her reluctance, Christina left.
Now that she was alone with Cedric, Rebecca felt the tension in the air. Cedric lit a cigarette, and Rebecca sat opposite him, clearly agitated.
“I’ve decided to let Isabella live in Sapphire, Rebecca stated directly.
Cedric paused in his actions. He glanced at Rebecca and asked, “Why?” “Do you already know about her relationship with Natalie?” Rebecca shot back.
Cedric’s expression darkened at the mention of this. Rebecca interpreted his displeasure as affirmation that he did know.
“You’re being naive,” Rebecca continued. “Do you understand the impact this will have on the Johnson family?
If Rebecca had known about Isabella and Natalie’s connection, she wouldn’t have allowed Isabella to move in with their family.
Not because of Natale.
Bi because of their relationship, which is still unknown to the public)
would become of the Johnson family?
“I even suspect that she intentionally leaked her relationship with Ivan,” Rebecca said, referring to the rumors that forced them to bring Isabella to the Johnson Manor.
Cedric’s face remained calm, but a hint of coldness flashed in his clear eyes.
“It wasn’t her,” he uttered in response.
Rebecca’s heart sank, and she narrowed her eyes.
“I don’t have the mood to worry about who it is right now. The most important thing at the moment is to send her to Sapphire. What do you think?” Rebecca asked.
Cedric fell silent. He remembered Natalie’s suggestion back in Elegance Bay–to send Isabella away from Verde City.
What had been his response then?
Placing a completely blind person outside of Verde City was…!
“I know what you’re worried about, but I believe our family can arrange a few people to take care of her for the rest of her life,” Rebecca asserted firmly.
Everything else could be negotiated, but Rebecca couldn’t allow Isabella to remain in Verde City.
“Go ahead and make the arrangements,” Cedric said after some thought.
Hearing this, Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Cedric’s willingness, she softened her tone a bit.
“I understand that you have concems about her because she’s related to Ivan. But rest assured, I will make sure she is well taken care of. After all, Ivan was our family’s benefactor, and she’s his sister, right?” “Yeah,” Cedric nodded without objection.
For him, as long as Isabella was properly taken care of, everything else didn’t matter.
The atmosphere in Verde City changed.
There was an ominous atmosphere, as if something significant was about to happen.
The next moming, Natalie got up early. She had her breakfast, applied her makeup, and dressed in a black dress with a plush cost.
looked exquisite, like a doll. If one didn’t know her, they wouldn’t believe she had been a married for three years After she arrived at the art exhibition center, her phone rang I was Irwin.
She smiled and answered, “I’m here. Are you waiting outside?” “I have urgent matters to attend to abroad. I’m afraid I won’t be able to meet you today,” Irwin’s apologetic voice came from the phone.
Natalie’s brows furrowed slightly. “It’s okay. Go ahead do what you need to do.” “I’m sorry, I’ll make it up to you next time.” “Okay,” Natalie didn’t refuse.
If accepting this could ease Irwin’s feelings, she was willing to do so After hanging up, Natalie narrowed her eyes. Due to Irwin’s absence, her enthusiasm waned a bit However, since she was already there, she decided to go inside As she opened the car door to leave, a Bentley swerved to a stop in front of her.
Cedric stepped out of the car, and then Natalie had a rough idea of what had happened.
Instinctively, she turned to get back into her car and leave, but Cedric started talking from behind her.
“Irwin probably won’t return to Verde City for the next three years. Who else will accompany you to see your exhibition?” He spoke like a king who knew he held all the cards in his hands.
The words hung in the air.
Natalie angrily turned around, a determined glint in her eyes. “It was you?!” Earlier, Irwin had called and said he had urgent matters to settle abroad.
Now Cedric…!
How did he manage this? Irwin was also a significant figure in Verde City, and yet Cedric… Cedric watched her angrily turn away. He walked around the front of the car and approached her while extending his hand.
ef’s go, the exhibition is about to start,” Natalie slapped away his hand without hesitation. Right now, anger surged in her chest.
“How could you?” Natalie stared at the man in front of her.
He… What was he thinking?
She never expected that Cedric had orchestrated Irwin’s departure.
Did Irwin know about this?
From the way Cedric spoke, it was clear that Irwin would likely face serious trouble. Perhaps he would even be in danger during his overseas trip!
Thinking of this, Natalie picked up her phone and dialed Irwin’s number. Cedric looked at the blinking number on her phone, and his eyes darkened.
“It’s useless. He’s already boarded the plane.” “You…” Natalie’s chest heaved continuously.
Clearly, she didn’t know what to say to Cedric at this moment.
Natalie glared fiercely at the man before her with eyes filled with hatred.
He had gone mad–truly and utterly mad!
Natalie found Cedric’s proposal of remarriage ridiculous, but she never expected him to be so crazy to get her back.
The anger and hatred in her eyes meant nothing to the man.novelbin In an unusually calm tone, he asked, “Are you still going in?” Such calmness had been absent since Isabella appeared.
But now: Hah!
How ironict At this point, Natalie wasn’t in the mood to attend the art exhibition. Turning around, she got into her car and left Cedric behind without another word.
The way she slammed the car door and shot out of the area revealed the extent of her anger car, Natalie was speeding at the limit Every thought of Irwin leaving Verde City due to Cedric’s made her feel suffocated.
She tried calling Stephen, but he seemed busy and didn’t answer, Natalie’s heart tightened. She was unsure where to vent, so she finally called Bianca.
Bianca answered. “Nat?” “Bia, Cedric has gone mad. He’s really gone mad!” “Hey, calm down. Take deep breaths and tell me everything.” “I want to see you. Right now!” Natalie’s thoughts were chaotic. Although she wasn’t afraid of Cedric in her current state, it was evident that Cedric was starting to set a trap for her.
She needed someone to discuss what was happening and what kind of act he was putting on.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 159- Now that her hands were empty, the anger surged higher within her. She raised her hand to slap the man’s calm face.
However, Cedric caught her wrist. Wrapping her other arm around her waist, he pulled her towards him, causing her to fall into his arms.
“Don’t be so angry, okay?” he said calmly..
“Cedric, go to hell!” Natalie bent her knee to strike him, but he easily blocked the blow.
Natalie’s knee hurt from that!
Just as Cedric was about to take Natalie away, Nigel and Leon stepped forward.
“Miss!” “Let go of me!” When Natalie saw Leon, her tone became more serious.
Instead of releasing her, Cedric leaned in closer. “Even if there were ten of him, do you think it would be enough to stop me?” Natalie was silent.
Her mind was blank after she heard his words.
She recalled Cedric’s previous fights. Back then, he wasn’t yet the company’s deputy chairman, having just graduated from school. She had witnessed him throwing a thug down from the second floor, almost killing the person.
Breathing heavily, Natalie eventually said to Nigel, ‘All of you are dismissed. I have something to discuss with Mr. Johnson.” It had only been a day…!
Or rather, since Cedric proposed remarriage, their relationship had completely changed.
Perhaps, as Blanca had said, Cedric was too occupied by Isabella’s situation to pay much attention to her before this.
Now that there was no hope for Isabella to recover her eyesight, the only thing Cedric needed to do was make arrangements for her future.
And with how wealthy the Johnson family was, that wasn’t a problem.
So, now that everything with Isabella was settled, Cedric had turned his attention back to her?
That was exactly it!
Judging by Cedric’s attitude, Bianca’s words seemed spot–on.
In the end, Cedric took Natalie away!
Looking at the familiar route, Natalie’s heart turned cold. “I’m not going to Scarlet Villa.” “Everything has been arranged, okay?” Cedric replied.
“Cedric, what on earth do you want to do?” Natalie was utterly furious. Although she and Bianca had discussed the possibility of this happening, she still… couldn’t help but get angry when it did.
The man lit a cigarette. Then, he rolled down the car window halfway to let in the cold air.
Natalie shivered.
“Stay in Scarlet Villa from today onward,” Cedric said.
“You don’t need to move anything. Your things are still there anyway. If you don’t like them, we can get new ones,” he continued.
You “Or do you think I’ll accept a simple piece of paper?” He was referring to the divorce certificate!
He was saying that he didn’t acknowledge it!
Legally speaking, we have no relationship now. You have no right to demand anything from me.” Natalie, are you lecturing me on the law?” Natalie remained silent.
“You’ve gotten increasingly dim–witted, haven’t you?” This time, Natalie was genuinely angry.
His attitude and words…!
It was exactly what Bianca had anticipated.
Now that Isabella’s matters were settled, his attitude completely changed.
It seemed like his attention was fixed on her.
At this moment, Natalie finally believed Bianca’s words. Cedric had been too preoccupied with Isabella’s situation to care about her, Now, it was different!
With this realization, Natalie’s heart beat harder in her chest.
They arrived at Scarlet Villa. When Natalie looked at the place, she felt the familiar phantom pain of being burned alive.
She didn’t know how mentally strong she was, but she was silent as she studied the building. There was no visible trace of the trauma she had experienced on her face.
“Get out!” The man got out of the car and opened the door for her.
Natalie looked at his outstretched hand, knowing that her struggles tonight would be futile.
She got out of the car without acknowledging him. Her deliberate avoidance didn’t bother Cedric.
When everyone saw Natalie return, they were respectful. These were all new faces, as Cedric had fired the previous batch of people.
As Cedric had said, the table was already set with dishes she loved, and servants were still bringing more!
“How is it? Is it more luxurious than what you had at Elegance Bay?” “Does a normal dinner need to be such a grand affair?!
Despite being accustomed to Cedric’s extravagance. Natalie still disapproved. In her eyes, it was better to stay low key drie wasn’t imitated by her attitude. He pushed her to the dining table.
Looking at the table full of dishes she used to love, Natalie had no appetite.
No one knew that after her rebirth, she deliberately avoided everything she used to like in the past life, whether it was food, taste in clothing, or accessories.
Everything had changed!
She was trying hard to erase any traces of her previous life on herself, and she was also making an effort not to think about the love and beauty between her and Cedric in her past life.
The only thing she remembered was the intense hatred, despair, and helplessness of being burned alive with her child.
“I didn’t tell you, did I?” Cedric sat across from her and casually asked as he helped himself to some food.
“What?” novelbin Natalie didn’t understand what he was asking.
Cedric glanced at her and said, “Irwin leaving Verde City means you can’t leave either, and…” At this point, he paused.
Natalie’s already surging heart was now filled with anger.
The man continued in a nonchalant tone, “Your uncle can’t come to Verde City for the time being.” Natalie was silent momentarily… And then….
Her world shattered!
“What did you say?” Her l*ps trembled, unable to believe what she was hearing. She stared at the man in front of her in disbelief.
She couldn’t believe he could do it!
But if he could relocate Irwin from Verde City, he could undoubtedly do the same with her uncle!
Natalie was not just angry at this moment.
Until things between us are resolved, I don’t want more people involved,” Cedric casually said as he ate was filled with overwhelming anger, but Cedric was calm. The contrast between them was stark Previously, when Natalie quarreled with him, he was caught up with Isabella’s matters and had been unable to care much about her.
Natalie had all the time in the world to quarrel with him back then!
Now, it was different. He had plenty of time, and Natalie… was growing impatient.
“Cedric, what gives you the right? What right do you have?” “Nothing specific, really,” Cedric replied.
Natalie was speechless!
“This isn’t bad. Are you going to eat or not?” In her anger, Natalie fl*pped the table with a loud crash!
Her chest heaved, filled with pent–up resentment.
Cedric’s attitude towards her now was like settling scores at an opportune moment. Matters he previously had no time for were now firmly in his grasp, pushing Natalie to the brink of endurance.
Her outburst made everyone in the room tense!
Meanwhile, Cedric calmly continued eating. He seemed unaffected by her actions. He pushed away the last mouthful of food and said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to eat. You can wait until you’re hungry.” “I will not remarry you!” Natalie yelled in frustration.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 160- Her anger was almost consuming her.
On the other hand, Cedric showed no sign of losing control due to her emotional outburst.
He was like a completely different person from before!
He handed his empty plate to the nearby butler and stepped forward, pulling Natalie forcefully arms.
His strong and powerful arms held her firmly, rendering her helpless!
“Bastard! Let me go!” “You s still haven’t figured it out yet, huh? What we need to resolve now isn’t the matter of remarriage.
“You…” his “If you don’t behave now, do you want to skip work tomorrow? Or do you plan never to go to Sylvan Gems In the future?” The man’s tone was gentle, but his words carried a veiled threat.
Yes, it was a threat!
At this moment, he was threatening Natalie.
Previously…!
Because Cedric’s focus was on Isabella, he didn’t have time to deal with her antics. Every action she took was enough to drive him crazy.
Now, he had enough time. He also had the patience to engage with and wear her down!
“You bastard… Natalie raised her hand to strike.
She wanted nothing more than to tear this man apart!
But the nexx moment, Cedric grabbed her cold hand and k*ssed her palm!
cons were both frivolous and provocative.
Natalie shivered all over.
“indulged you too much before this.” “Aren’t I a vicious woman? Yet you-” “It’s fine even if you’re worse than this, hmm?” Before Natalie could finish her sentence, the man smoothly continued.
Natalie’s heart tightened.
Was it really like Bianca said?
No, it couldn’t be!
Kisses, pressure, entanglement…!
At some point, the butler and all the servants had left the dining room. Natalie resisted, struggled, and wildly swung her hands.
As she was waving her hands wildly, she inevitably hit Cedric’s face.
Everything stopped for a moment, and the air was suddenly quiet.
Watching the blood trickle down the man’s forehead, Natalie’s heart tightened even more.
“Not bad, you’re being feisty, huh? I like it! The man chuckled instead of getting angry.
Natalie had been too obedient before; this change was good. Seeing her like a wildcat, he wondered how she would be after he fully conquered her.
He was looking forward to it.
Natalie trembled with anger..
The man casually found a medical kit and tossed it to her.
“You can forget about it!” She wouldn’t tend to his wounds.
However, the man said, “It’s okay. If you don’t fix every mistake you’ve made properly, you can forget about seeing Stephen for the rest of your life!” Are you threatening me?” “Can you really threaten me?” Natalie struggled to contain her anger and attempted to keep calm.
Yet, because she was in Scarlet Villa and facing this man, she couldn’t stay rational at all.
The man looked at her and smiled. “Why not give it a try?” Try? How?!
Before Natalie could say anything, Cedric casually took out his phone and dialed a number.
The blood from the wound on his face continued to flow, but he paid it no mind. When the call was answered, he said to the person on the other end, “Come to Scarlet Villa immediately.” “Yes, sirl” He hung up.
“While Lucas is on the way, do you want to remedy the first loophole?” he said as if she had committed a major offense.
Natalie fumed and couldn’t be bothered to respond.
Seeing Natalie’s reluctance, Cedric didn’t force her. He had the butler come in to tend to his wounds. The butler was shocked when he saw the injury, but ultimately chose not to say anything.
Soon, Lucas arrived.
“Sir, you called for me?” Cedric handed Natalie’s passport, ID, and other documents to Lucas. Seeing her personal documents in his hand, she was about to explode. She didn’t know he had gotten his hands on those items!
“You know what to do, hmm? Try to be back before midnight!” Under Cedric’s instructions, Lucas directly drove Natalie to the airport. He accompanied her, purchased the flight tickets, and completed the boarding procedures.
However, during boarding, they were stopped.
“I’m sony, Ms. Walker. You cannot leave Verde City at the moment.” We don’t know the reason on our end, but your information shows that you cannot leavel. The staff Natalie was furious.
Cedric, he…!
Seeing Natalie swaying unsteadily, Lucas stepped forward to help, but Natalie pushed him away.
“Get lost!” As Lucas was one of Cedric’s people, she couldn’t show any goodwill.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Cedric was serious!
Lucas looked troubled. “Mr. Johnson said that after finishing here, you should return straight to Scarlet Villa.” “I told you to get lost! Get lost!” Natalie was so enraged that she completely disregarded the fact that they were at the airport.
She needed to calm down!
If she went back to Scarlet Villa now, she was afraid she might not resist picking up a knife and stabbing Cedric.
Lucas had been working for Cedric for a long time, and he had never seen Natalie lose her temper like this.
It was clear that it would be quite impossible to smoothly bring Natalie back to Scarlet Villa.
So, he called Cedric.
Natalie didn’t know what was said, but Lucas hung up and approached.
Madam, Mr. Johnson said it’s fine if you don’t go back to Scarlet Villa. Where would you like to go? I’ll take you there.” I told you to get lost! Don’t you understand?” Madam Lucas was in a dilemma.
Mistake was angry, but she also knew she couldn’t escape. In the end, she reluctantly got into Cedric‘ Now, it seemed like Bianca was her only option.
Her uncle was kept out of Verde City due to Cedric’s interference. Her current situation made it impossible for her to leave the country. And with Irwin gone, Blanca was her remaining support.
Bianca was shocked when she saw Natalie at her door, especially since she recognized Lucas as one of Cedric’s people. She dragged Natalle into the house and slammed the door behind them.
“What’s going on? That’s one of Cedric’s assistants, right? Am I wrong?” “You’re not wrong!” “Then you…” “Bia, you’re right. He never intended to let me go!” When Natalie said this, she trembled all over.
She was infuriated!
After Cedric settled Isabella’s matters, he seemed to have transformed into a different person!
What did it look like from Natalie’s perspective?
It was as if he suddenly had a surplus of time to spend with her. Everything she had done before, all the troubles she had caused, Cedric had remembered it all.
The man had always been the type to retaliate for every grievance he suffered, so Natalie had no idea what would happen next!
