Ch. 171..180

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 171-Threat Rebecca watched Cedric’s face darkened, and her tone became even more uneasy.

“I know you’re blaming me, Cedric, but that was… At this moment, Rebecca found it difficult to continue!

Cedric interrupted, “You said a year ago?” “Yes, the last time was about a year ago. After that… Well, you know I’ve been busy settling your affairs.” This was something Cedric knew.

Due to the ongoing conflict between her and Natalie, Cedric intentionally assigned her tasks to tie her up.

preventing her from causing trouble for Natalie.

A year ago…!

It was clear that Rebecca wasn’t the one responsible for the recent developments.

Cedric stood up and strode toward the exit.

Confused, Rebecca asked, “What’s wrong? Did she say something?” Now that Natalie had status and position, Rebecca was sure she had said something unfavorable about her to Cedric.

Instead of responding, Cedric slammed the door behind him, indicating his frustration.

Rebecca understood from his attitude that Natalie hadn’t said anything to Cedric.

If she had, his return today wouldn’t have been a simple conversation but a catastrophic argument.

Over the years, Cedric had argued with Rebecca many times because of Natalie.

Wanda emerged from the shadows. She stood behind Rebecca and said respectfully, “Madam, the young mistress seems to have some capabilities!” novelbin “More than just some. I underestimated her before,” Rebecca admitted, unsure of what to say regarding this situation.

“But must she be the young mistress? Could we not find someone else?” Wanda asked as a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes.

Rebecca closed her eyes.

“There’s no other way.” Find someone else?

Without knowing everything about them, who knows what kind of person they might be?

Rebecca had learned her lesson with Jocelyn.

“If I may be so blunt, Madam… I feel that even if that woman agrees to remarry Master Cedric, it might not be good for the Johnson family.

“Why do you say that?” “Think about it. She now has such a powerful uncle. Previously, you didn’t like her, and that’s not a secret in social circles. If you suddenly favor her so much, what would everyone else think?” Of all the things to mention, Wanda had to say this…!

Rebecca’s eyes flashed with determination. “They would dare?!” “While they may not say anything to your face, behind your back…” Wanda trailed off.

Rebecca also understood that forcing Cedric and Natalie to remarry would have both positive and negative consequences for the Johnson family.

“What do you suggest then?” Rebecca’s tone grew even more serious.

Wanda said, “Ms. Lambert and that woman are not good choices, but there is one person…” “Who?” “Why, the young miss, of course!” “Tina?!” Rebecca’s expression grew even darker.

When Rebecca looked at Wanda, her expression changed completely. Wanda felt a chill from Rebecca’s Intense gaze but continued bravely, “Ms. Tina is someone you’ve raised, and in the future…” “Nonsense!” Rebecca interrupted Wanda with a furious tone before she could finish her sentence.

The sudden anger inade Wanda shiver.

The air around Rebecca suddenly became chilly and almost suffocating.

Don’t say such things ever again “Yes, Madam!” “Tina is my daughter, and Cedric is my son! Wanda, you’ve been with me for so many years, but it seems that you’ve become muddle–headed!” Rebecca said sternly.

“Yes, Madam. I’m sorry. I misspoke,” Wanda quickly apologized, sensing Rebecca’s displeasure. She couldn’t continue saying the things she did under these circumstances.

Rebecca snorted and walked away. She left Wanda standing in place, uncertain of what to do.

Cold sweat had broken out on Wanda’s forehead!

How could Rebecca allow Christina to become her daughter–in–law?!

She had always treated her like a daughter!

It was widely known in social circles that Christina was her adopted daughter. Turning her into Cedric’s wife, especially after the previous incidents with Natalie, would only tamish the reputation of the Johnson family!

Even if what Wanda said was true, Rebecca would never allow it!

Christina was only an adopted daughter, and her background wasn’t as good as Natalie’s!

After walking out of the Johnson Manor, Cedric sat in his car and lit a cigarette.

Suddenly, the car door was pulled open.

Christina got in with a cheerful smile and asked, “Ced! Why were you looking for me so urgently?” Cedric stared at Christina.

He remained silent and gazed at her intently.

The serious and cold gaze made Christina feel a slight chill in her heart.

“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” She asked as she touched her face, maintaining a cheerful demeanor.

Yet, on her way here, she already sensed that Cedric urgently summoning her meant there was important business at hand This was unprecedented!

Cedric threw the cigarette butt out of the car window and asked, “What do you think of Natalie?” Hearing this, Christina’s heart sank even further. Though she stiffened, she pretended as if nothing was wrong.

She responded respectfully, ‘She’s good.” “Good?” “Yes, very good!” “What do you mean by that?” Christina was speechless. Cedric’s serious and stern tone made her heart race anxiously.

Instead of directly answering his question, she asked, “What’s going on?” “I’m asking you, what do you mean by that?” Cedric’s tone became colder, his gaze more intense.

At this moment, Christina’s face turned a bit pale. Everything in her mind was a tangled mess, especially with Cedric seeming to know something.

She struggled to organize her thoughts, avoiding a direct answer to his question.

‘She’s gentle, refined, well–educated, and obedient.” After she said that, Cedric chuckled.

However, it sounded mocking and sarcastice.

“Gentle, refined, and obedient? Hah.” “Ced, I…” “If she’s so good, why have you had a strained relationship with her all these years?” At Cedric’s words, Christina’s already pale face turned even more white at this moment.

What did he know?

What exactly did he find out?

Was it about her scheming against Natelle, or was it about her collaboration with Isabella?

“Tina, think carefully before you speak, hmm?” “It’s because of Mom!” At this moment, Christina wished she could escape. The air around Cedric was too cold. It chilled her to the bone, and she even felt like she was about to suffocate with no way out!

Rebecca!

With her name brought up, everything made sense.

Christina had always sided with Rebecca, and Rebecca liked her for being obedient and docile.

Conversely, whatever Rebecca disliked, Christina naturally disliked as well.

“When was the last time you had a conflict with her?” “Never! We’ve never had a direct conflict!” Although their relationship wasn’t good, there hadn’t been any intense conflicts.

Christina had at least made sure of it.

At this moment, Cedric’s gaze turned sharp.

It was as if he wanted to see through her. Such a look sent shivers down anyone’s spine, making it seem as if there was no way to escape

A Divorce After My Rebirth 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 happening between Natalie and Cedric “He’s such a capable man, huh? How dare he cause trouble at Sylvan Gems?” “Uncle… “I’m coming over right away!” “No, I can handle this on my own.” “How will you handle it? Stab him with a knife?” That might be the only way to completely rid themselves of the problem.

Until then, it was just a fruitless dream.

Natalie fell silent.

what was was How to handle this?!

Honestly, she hadn’t figured it out yet.

These past few days, she had lost her composure due to Cedric’s relentless pursuit. Now that Stephen knew, maybe she wouldn’t have to do anything!

“Alright, why don’t you come over then…” Now that Stephen knew everything, Natalie could rely on him!

At this moment, she could almost imagine the storm that Stephen and Cedric would brew together.

She hung up the phone and massaged her throbbing forehead.

Then, Zane entered with some documents in hand.

These need your signature.” “Zane, I’m not-” “You should tell Mr. Jarvis what’s happening with you!” “To be blunt, you’re well aware of what kind of presence Mr. Johnson has in Verde City. I’m sure you know better than me. Even Mr. Frazier has been…” Zane trailed off, but Natalie understood his meaning. Zane was sharp, and he would investigate if he sensed something was amiss.

That was evident when he uncovered Irwin’s matter.

“Fine, I understand. You can leave; I want to be alone for a while.” Zane nodded and left.

Once the office was empty, Natalie threw a cup on the floor in frustration. If possible, she really wished she could take Leon and the others to beat Cedric up! novelbin She wanted to beat him until he was dead!

But she knew it was impossible.

That would only result in Leon being dismembered.

Cedric returned to the office, and Lucas followed him.

“Mr. Johnson!” “Lucas, check her call records.” Cedric was referring to Natalie.

“What is the period you’d like me to check?” The time around Isabella’s kidnapping.” “Well. It’s been a while. It might be challenging to find,” Lucas replied after estimating the time in his mind Go and try!

“Yes, air Lucas nodded.

Cedric took a sip of water as he stared blankly at the wall. There was an indescribable glint in his eyes.

He seemed to remember something as he asked, “Has Yuvan returned?” “He’ll be back tonight.” “Have him come to see me tomorrow.” “Yes, sir,” With that. Lucas left, leaving Cedric alone in the office. A profound darkness flashed in his eyes as he contemplated Natalie.

Considering how much she had changed during this period, Cedric couldn’t help but suspect something 1.

had happened to her.

What had he…!

Closing his eyes, he concealed the chilling gaze that flickered through his eyes.

It was no wonder she hated him so much!

In the past, he was the first one she would run to whenever something happened.

But later, during the chaotic time at Scarlet Villa when he was entangled with Isabella’s matters, she bore so much alone.

And that was only what he knew.

What about the things he didn’t know?

Recalling those days now, he understood that during the time he wasn’t there, the despair she experienced might have been much more traumatizing than he had imagined.

Fl*pping through his phone, he looked at two photos. In one, she appeared like a little tiger, seemingly eager to bite him.

The hatred in her eyes was evident–it was a profound hatred that went beyond ordinary resentment…!

He tapped his phone a few more times and sent out the photos.

That afternoon was anything but peaceful.

Natalie was initially in a meeting but was forcibly interrupted by a phone call Zane brought the phone in and explained, “It’s a call from Mr. Jarvis!” Natalie could already guess why her uncle had called.

She glanced at everyone in the room and said, “Take a ten–minute break!” As soon as she said that, everyone stood up. They took their documents and left the meeting room. When the room was cleared out, Natalie picked up the phone.

“Uncle.” “Did you already know from the start?” Stephen’s serious voice came from the other end of the line.

Natalie could hear that he was in a noisy place.

It was clear that he was currently at the airport.

Natalie was at a loss for words.

“What the hell is he up to? He stopped me from coming to Verde City and forcibly made you Scarlet Villa? Is there anything else I don’t know?” “Not for now!” Natalie replied.

She still didn’t mention Irwin’s matter.

return to From Stephen’s tone, she could sense his current anger. She didn’t want to stir up more trouble but also realized that the situation between her and Cedric was beyond her ability to resolve!

de City now?” “And, what’s the deal with the reports from Verde City “Reports?” What reports?

Natalie’s heart skipped a beat when she heard those words.

Despite her victory against public opinion, it had undoubtedly left a considerable psychological shadow.

“You don’t know yet?” “I don’t “Look at your phone!

With that, Stephen angrily hung up.

Hearing the beeping sound that indicated the call had been cut, Natalie was momentarily bewildered But she immediately opened her phone as Stephen had told her to.

When she saw the overwhelming headlines, her eyes narrowed!

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 173-Cedric, he…!

He really dared to do anything.

There were two photos attached to the report. Both were of her biting him, but the look in her eyes had clearly been edited!

[Did Mr. Johnson really divorce Mrs. Johnson? It doesn’t seem like it!] [Will there soon be a reconciliation between Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Johnson?!] Those were among the various headlines that were written.

Clank!

Natalie ruthlessly swept the computer from the meeting table to the ground.

Only God knew how reluctant she was to involve herself in such rumors with Cedric. And now, these reports…!

Without needing to think, she knew that she and Cedric would be even more popular than public figures for a long time to come.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Cedric’s name flashed on the screen of her phone, but she ignored it.

Natalie rushed out of the meeting room.

Zane was waiting outside. When he saw Natalie coming out and how angry she looked, he hurriedly approached her.

“What happened!?” “Handle the meeting here, I have urgent matters to attend to!” Yes, ma’am!” Zane obviously hadn’t seen the reports yet!

During working hours, they were all very busy. Cedric had taken advantage of this fact and left her with no time to react Half an hour later, Natalie stormed into Radiant Tower When Lucas saw her, he approached and respectfully said. “Ma- Ms. Walker!” He quickly changed how he addressed her due to the stern look on her face. He had to admit that despite her petite stature, Natalie did radiate a powerful presence.

“Where is he?” She said, the anger still evident in her voice.

Upon seeing Natalie, everyone in the secretary department quickly turned their attention to their own work.

Natalie wasn’t someone to be trifled with, and they had witnessed it in recent times.

But there were a few people who looked at Natalie in disdain due to their previous association with Isabella.

Natalie didn’t have time to deal with them now, nor did she notice.

“Mr. Johnson is waiting for you inside!” Lucas replied.

Her high heels clicked loudly against the floor as she made her way to the CEO’s office.

Then, everyone inhaled sharply as she kicked the office door with such force that it immediately flew open!

Everyone was shocked and tensed instantly.

Natalie was obviously in a terrible mood.

She was behaving completely differently from before.

Cedric was already waiting for her. Hearing the commotion, he looked towards the door and saw Natalie glaring at him with fire in her eyes!

“Cedric, what is this?! Explain yourself!” She walked in and slammed the door shut!

The sound echoed loudly through the air, and everyone in the secretary department shuddered.

Someone approached Lucas and said, “Mr. Smith, it seems that the lady boss’s temperament has changed after the divorce!” “Do you think she could be the CEO of Sylvan Gems with how she was before?” Lucas shot back calmly.

The person who asked the previous question immediately shut his mouth!

As the saying goes, don’t judge a book by its cover.

There was indeed some truth in it!

In the office, Cedric placed his phone on the desk.

He didn’t look at her or respond to her words. Instead, he asked, “Does your uncle know?” Natalie was silent.

“The trouble on his end hasn’t been resolved yet. Are you sure you want him to come to Verde City now?” The man raised his eyebrows. He was looking at her as if everything was under his control!

Natalie’s original arrogance diminished with Cedric acting this way. However, it didn’t stop her anger from climbing further, But…!

“Are we talking about the same thing now?” “Of course, it’s related.” “Irwin will probably be coming back soon!” Now Natalie understood.

Cedric wanted everyone to know that he and Natalie were still together before Irwin returned. He forcefully cut off her retreat, leaving her with nowhere to escape!

Natalie’s chest heaved heavily when she thought about this. “Cedric, you’re truly the most shameless person in the world!” The concept of shame is a tricky thing.” Natalie had come running in like a bulldozer, but she had gained nothing with this momentum. Instead, she had been forced to retreat The anger in her heart made her feel even more uncomfortable now.

remind you that Stephen’s troubles are not as simple as you think. Once he leaves Simeria, many “I wonder what will happen to Regal Horizons, then…!” “Shut up!” Natalie couldn’t bear to listen anymore. She dearly wished she could scratch that threatening look off of his face!

Natalie didn’t want to believe what Cedric said, but she was well aware of how busy Stephen was right now, and he had never been this way before!

So if the problem really wasn’t significant, why would Stephen be tied up so badly?!

The more she thought about it, the angrier abol In the end, she stomped out of the room angrily. T As he watched her leave in a huff, Cedric smiled…!

That smile had a hint of indulgence.

Lucas was waiting outside. When he saw Natalle exit the room, he wanted to say something. However, she rushed straight to the elevator without sparing anyone a glance.

There was no time for him to say anything at all.

While walking, Natalie called Stephen. But even after entering the elevator, her uncle didn’t pick up.

She anxiously broke into a cold sweat.

“Ms. Walker,” a woman’s voice came from behind.

Natalie hung up the phone and turned around. It was an unfamiliar face, but it was a beautiful woman! novelbin “Who are you?” “Do you have nightmares when you dream of the past at midnight?” The woman asked directly, her eyes carrying a cold glint..

Natalie’s already unpleasant expression completely sank!

She didn’t respond and simply gave the woman a sharp look.

The woman extended her hand towards her. “I’m Queenie Zephyr. I grew up with Isabella… Well, I guess!

should say that we’re inseparable.” Natalie understood now!

It was no wonder this woman looked at her with such hostility.

Seeing the look Natalie shot at her extended hand, Queuenie lightly chuckled and said, “Are you afraid I’ll break your bones? How could I dare? Your hands are quite powerful, you know? You’re gripping even Isabella’s share tightly.” “Isabella’s share?” “The assets your father left behind!” Natalie was speechless.

The assets her father left behind!?

Yes. Her mother had transferred it to her name before this.

“You wouldn’t really disown your own sister for those assets, would you?” Ding!

The elevator door opened, yet the woman continued to smile at her.

Natalie was already upset about her situation with Cedric, and now this woman was picking a fight over Isabella’s matters!

She couldn’t contain the burning rage in her bones and erupted!

Slap! Slap!

Two resounding slaps landed harshly on Queenie’s face, and Natalie said wamingly, “Please shut your mouth. I don’t have any sisters!” “Birds of a feather really do flock together! A bitch will only have other bitches as friends! Tsk!” Having said that, Natalie left without waiting for Queenie’s reaction.

Queenie stood in a faze in the elevator. It was a long time before she returned to her senses. By the time she did, Natalie was already far away!

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 174- The Fish That Sl*pped Through the Net Natalie couldn’t bring herself to treat those who had a connection with Isabella well. She especially hated. it when they talked about her blood relation to Isabella.

When that happened, Natalie would instantly lose her cool When the news about Natalie and Cedric broke out, Christina was the one who was most anxious about 1. it. She never expected that once Isabella’s matter was resolved, it would lead to Cedric and Natalie getting involved again!

It had happened in the blink of an eye!

She immediately drove to Sapphire.

Inside the apartment, Isabella was under the care of two servants. As the Johnson family wanted to ensure Isabelle was well taken care of, they paid the servants a high enough salary.

By doing so, the two servants treated her quite well. But no matter how well they treated her, even if these two became her eyes and ears… What could she do?

Her world… was in complete darkness!

When Christina arrived, she saw Isabella eating fruits.

“You’re living quite comfortably now!” Hearing Christina’s voice, Isabella’s expression instantly turned cold. She turned towards Christina with a mocking smile on her l*ps.

“I thought you would need some time before coming. I didn’t expect it to be so soon!” “Hmph!” Christina walked up to Isabella, her high heels clicking against the tiles. Looking down at her, her eyes were full of disdain You’re quite clever. Guess what the situation is now?” elyn has completely lost value in front of your mother, right?

“Hmmph!” Isabella was indeed clever.

“But Natalie is different. To Cedric, she’s probably…” Isabella paused for a moment. She heard Christina’s ragged breath and smiled.

Then she continued, “They had ten years between them, you know? Yes, a lot of dirt was thrown on her. Cedric might be disappointed in her, maybe even angry!” “But his anger has passed. He probably accepted everything about her, even if he hasn’t looked into what really happened, right?” That was the most frightening part!

That fact that a person’s position in another person’s heart wouldn’t change under any circumstances was the scariest part!

Cedric was completely unaware that Isabella and Christina were responsible for everything that had happened. But even so, he still got involved with Natalie!

Why?

Because no matter what kind of person she was, Cedric accepted herl That was what infuriated Christina the most.

“Since you’re so clever, you must have a way to turn things around, right?” “Of course!” Isabella replied with a smile.

“Good. What do you want?” Christina straightforwardly asked.

“Oh? Are you no longer worried I might have improper thoughts about him?” “You won’t because that would be revolting!” Christina said. “You hate Natalie so much, and you hate anyone that’s close to her. In fact, you harbor a deep dislike for them!” “You finally understand this.” That was true.

tabella had never thought much about Cedric, even though he was a truly outstanding man. She might However, she didn’t want anyone who had been with Natalie.

Even if the wanted to retaliate against Natalie, she had her own limits!

Natalie’s living the peak of her life now, isn’t she? I want her to fall twice as hard!” “Anything else?

“Okay got it” Christina nodded.

Handing the phone to the nearby servant, Christina said, “From now on, Ms. Morgan can talk to anyone!” “Yes, ma’am” The servant respectfully said and took the phone.

Christine turned around. I’m waiting to see what you have up your sleeves, Isabella!” A deep determined glint flashed in Christina’s eyes and a smile that harbored a desire to win spread on it was only after reaching Sylvan Gems that Natalie finally managed to contact Stephen.

There was retained anger in Stephen’s voice as he said, “Nat, come to Simeria right away!” Undoubtedly, his attempt to come to Verde City had failed!

Natalie closed her eyes “Uncle…” You cant get out either Stephen guessed before she could finish speaking.

Cedoc forbade him from coming to Verde City. So naturally, Natalie was also restricted from leaving me, she didn’t know what to say. She had caused a scene, created chaos, but that man…!

e kings on my end on my own was cartaudy in Ophen’s tone. He knew his niece quite well. At this critical moment, she would Voges involved with Cedric The only possibility was that Cedric had threatened her.

“How did he threaten you? Stephen asked.

“Uncle, don’t you think I have a lot of things to figure out?” Natalie said instead.

“What else is unclear?” “The impact of the previous public opinion on me. Originally, I didn’t intend to investigate. But now that I can’t get rid of it, I…” “Nat, pursuing things too much will only get you trouble. Are you sure you want to find out everything?” Stephen interrupted.

For example, Isabella.

If Natalie didn’t investigate why Isabella hated her so much, she wouldn’t know that Isabella was her sister.

She wouldn’t feel so disgusted right now, and she wouldn’t feel so impacted by her family.

“Don’t forget, you’re now the CEO of Sylvan Gems. You’re not someone who only cares about love and emotions. Don’t get involved in hate and revenge like those people. Show some sophistication!” Natalie was silent.

“Remember, the less you care, the more the other party will suffer!” The other party cared! Wasn’t that why they were still targeting Natalie?

“Does that mean I should just let do as she pleases behind my back?” “What impact does it have on you?” “For now, none!” If there was one impact, it was the strain on her relationship with Cedric.

As for other aspects, there really wasn’t any, especially public opinion. Now, it was even leaning towards her side.

To Stephen, it was fine to let those people try to stir up more trouble. As long as Natalie took care of herself and kept calm, the tactics of those people would fall flat.

Those who couldn’t achieve their goals would be the most tormented.

“Also, don’t tell me you still don’t know who’s manipulating things behind the scenes?” Natale was silent Of course, she knew!

She knew everything!

To everyone else, they thought her biggest grudge was against Isabella, but that wasn’t true!

Natalie was well aware that the one manipulating everything behind her was actually Christina–the Johnson family’s adopted daughter, who everyone thought was a kind and obedient girl!

1 got it Uncle. I handle it.” “Alright. I can’t come to Verde City for now. Remember, you have to adapt to changes! Don’t be childish!” After hanging up the call with Stephen, Natalie felt somewhat relieved. She understood the meaning behind her uncle’s words.

Those people were insignificant and the things they did were the same!

Were they worth her concem? No!

Understanding this, Natalie felt much more at ease, but she still needed to continue doing what she had to do.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 175-Stephen Was Quite Domineering Just after hanging up Stephen’s call, Natalie received another call from an unfamiliar number.

When she answered, she found it was the detective agency Karina had recommended before.

“Hello,” Natalie said.

“Ms. Walker, we found what you were looking for.” “Send it to my email.” “Alright.” Upon hearing that what she wanted had been found, a cold glint flashed in Natalie’s eyes. She hung up the phone, opened her computer, and opened her email.

She examined its contents. As she was reading, the same unfamiliar number called her again.

“Is it just a photo?” Natalie asked.

“It’s one of the people involved in Ms. Morgan’s kidnapping.” One of them?

She had asked before, but Isabella had said everyone was dead.

“Is this person still alive?” “Yes.” “Where is he now?” “He’s at Sea City in Glacial.” That was so far away!

The photo’s background was a snow–covered area around a glacier, indicating that the climate there wasn’t good. The photo was captured from surveillance footage. It was evident that finding this person wouldn’t be easy “What should we do now? The person on the other end of the line asked when Natalie remained silent.

Natalie glanced at the photo. “See if you can obtain photos of him in contact with Isabella or Christina.

“Alright, but regarding the cost…!” “Don’t worry.

The price is not an issue as long as you find what I need.” Stephen used to tell her not to be petty!

When he had helped her look into Isabella, he already felt that Natalie was being childish. He felt that those things were not worth investigating.

In Stephen’s view, investigating such things was a waste of time. Even responding to those people’s tactics was a waste of time.

The best counterattack against them was to always stand at a higher position and look down on their clownish methods.

But Natalie was well aware that these clowns were even more troublesome. Even if she didn’t respond to them, they would do lose things t her.

They were relentless in the shadows.

The only way to get rid of them was to press these people into the mud so they couldn’t climb up again.

Between Natalie and Isabella… Isabella wished to bury Natalie in the mud, and Natalie was not even willing to acknowledge her existence!

After work in the evening, Cedric came to pick up Natalie. They went to Scarlet Villa together, and dinner was already prepared in the kitchen.

It was all still Natalie’s favorite dishes, but simpler than before. Cedric knew she didn’t like extravagance.

“How is it? Does it suit your taste?” he asked.

“Yeah, it’s not bad,” Natalie replied calmly, eating her food with the same calm demeanor.

Observing Natalie’s calm demeanor, Cedric raised an eyebrow and asked, “Did Stephen call you?” Yeah “Is he still coming?” At his words, Natalie’s mood became somewhat unstable. Though she seemed calm, Cedric deliberately brought it up.

She put down the utensils in her hands and looked at Cedric. “Stop doing anything to Regal Horizons.” “What do you think will make me stop?” Cedric responded.

“If you insist on compensation for those two projects, tell me which two plots of land in Verde City you.

have your eyes on. I’ll try to get them for you!” “Do you think any of the two plots in Verde City are as valuable as the eastern suburb?” “So, this matter will go on indefinitely?” “Not exactly.” “Then what do you want?” Natalie hadn’t considered this before. Cedric’s involvement with the two plots in the eastern suburb had escalated to this extent.

Now she realized he didn’t care about her having a powerful uncle. If he got really annoyed, he could even challenge her uncle.

When the news broke today, some people said Cedric wanted to reconcile with her again because of her uncle’s identity.

Those people didn’t understand Cedric at all.

Her powerful uncle was now abroad and locked out from Verde City. She still didn’t know how Cedric had done it, and he kept stirring up trouble for Regal Horizon International’s headquarters.

“If you still can’t afford it, then pay with your b*dy. How about that?” Cedric said.

Natalie was speechless.

Bang!

A loud bang echoed as the spoon in her hand slammed onto the table, shattering a wine glass.

Despite her frustration, Cedric appeared calm.

The niece of the Regal Horizons International Chairman is also the designated heiress of the group You’re wealthy, influential, and quite sturdy!

It was no wonder she had dared to challenge him before. Thinking about her previous arrogant demeanor and comparing it to her current frustration, Cedric felt a sense of satisfaction.

“How many times?” Natalie asked angrily. 1 Fine, if he wanted her to pay with her b*dy… They needed to discuss how many times they were going to do it!

As soon as she asked that question, Cedric’s face darkened.

He stood up and approached Natalie. He placed his hands on the table and the chair she was sitting on, encircling her in his embrace.

The warm yet chilling air surrounded her, giving off a sense of danger, Just as Natalie was about to move away, he suddenly embraced her head.

“For the things you did to me, even death wouldn’t be enough. Are you sure you want to talk about the number of times?” Natalie was silent.

He wasn’t being overly forceful, but his words carried a substantial threat, At that moment, Natalie’s heart trembled.

Cedric released her abruptly, and Natalie’s mind was blank.

Then, she glared fiercely at Cedric.

She understood.

This man had no intention of letting her off, and everything he was doing now was far from simply settling scores between them.

“If you don’t want anything to happen with your uncle, you better behave yourself. Otherwise…” Cedric trailed off.

He looked at Natalie, whose eyes were filled with intense hatred. The depth of her resentment was clear, and it looked as if she wanted to tear him apart with her bare hands!

This kind of hatred wasn’t just skin–deep; it felt as if it had been brought down through generations.

You spread your wings a little too far, and retracting them might be a bit difficult. But that’s okay. Take your time, hmm?” Every word that Cedric said had an underlying threat.

Natalie stared at him, contemplating one thought: to escape!

Regardless of whether she seemed cowardly or if it would be useless, escaping this man seemed like it would bring peace.

However, her rational mind told her that escaping would be futile.

Given Cedric’s current attitude, she had nowhere to run.

“Cedric, what do you take me for?” “Once upon a time, you were my wife. Are you still willing now?” “Don’t even think about it!” “In that case, what do you think you are?” Natalie was silent.

Anger made her head ache, but she had no way to deal with this man. novelbin Bang! Clang!

In her rage, Natalie threw everything she could get her hands on!

Cedric watched her petulant behavior with a smile playing on his l*ps. “You shouldn’t get angry when eating in the evening. It’s easy to gain weight.” Thud!

Natalie stood up abruptly, and the chair she was sitting on fell backward.

She had infuriated Cedric before this… And he was now paying it back to her ten times worse!

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 176-Revealing the True Colors What does it feel like to have someone practically hold one’s life in their hands?

Natalie had already thoroughly experienced it!

Back when she was struggling in the Johnson family, life was tough, But at most, it was the pain of a wounded heart and the days of being mocked by Rebecca.

At least back then, there wasn’t much to worry about.

Now, she had her uncle, who was a strong support.

Yet, Cedric had turned his attention to her after he settled Isabella’s matters, and had managed to reduce her to this state!

Natalie had to admit that the feeling was truly unpleasant!

“Sit down and eat properly!” The two stared at each other.

Natalie was full of anger! On the other hand, Cedric was smiling calmly.

But in that smile, there was a clear threat.

Natalie sat down. She picked up her knife and fork, stabbing fiercely into the food on her plate. She ended up with a mess on her plate that looked terrible at a glance.

Cedric glanced at her and said, “There’s no need to be so angry.” “Cedric, my uncle is not someone you can deal with as you please. Just wait and see what happens!” “Sure, I’m waiting.” The man didn’t take her threat seriously at all.

This made Natalie feel powerless.

Just when she was about to say something, the man’s phone rang. With just a glance, Natalie recognized the number.

It was… Isabella’s!

When Cedric saw the number, his expression changed.

Natalie thought he was going to answer, but instead, he fl*pped the phone over.

Natalie smirked, “Looks like she’s not gone forever, huh?” ‘Arrangements have been made for her. You don’t have to worry about it,” Cedric replied calmly.

“Really? Are things really settled?” At the moment, it didn’t look like everything was sorted out.

Cedric didn’t know why Isabella was calling at this time. But since Rebecca had assured him the family would take care of her, he had nothing to worry about.

The phone fell silent!

But just for a second, and it vibrated again.

Undoubtedly, it was Isabella calling again!

Natalie looked at Cedric. “Answer it. The little beauty seems anxious!” “Natalie!” This time, Cedric was annoyed.

Natalie found it amusing to watch him get frustrated over Isabella.

Everything had been arranged for her, huh?

Ultimately, they were all going in the same circle and the same world!

Her smile made Cedric somewhat uncomfortable. Angrily, he picked up the phone and walked to the side.

to answer it!

Natalie didn’t know what words were exchanged on the line, but Cedric subconsciously glanced at Natalie’s direction.

His expression seemed off!

Natalie could already guess what had happened.

After a minute, Cedric hung up the phone. He walked towards the dining room and looked at Natalie, who was still sitting in the chair.

His face was blank, but his shoulders were tensed Natalie could sense something was amiss. This heightened perception was brought forward from her “Are you leaving?” Natalie raised an eyebrow.

Her tone made Cedric somewhat uncomfortable, and he replied, “Why don’t you come with me!?” “Where to?” “Sapphire!*

Sapphire?!

Unexpectedly, Rebecca had arranged for Isabella to go to Sapphire.

However, she simply replied, “I don’t have time for that. I have an early meeting tomorrow, so I need a good rest.” “That’s fine. I’ll be back soon enough, probably after midnight. You don’t have to wait for me, get some rest early!‘ He made it sound like Natalie would actually wait for him!

But this was the first time he had explained his actions since Isabella appeared.

Natalie didn’t respond.

Cedric gave her one last look and finally left.

After he was gone, Natalie remained sitting in the dining room.

The mocking smile was still on her l*ps.

Hah! Cedric… he was still the same!

As usual, he was gone with the wind once Isabella called him.

Until now, Natalie could still remember this happening every time. Sometimes, Isabella would call when Cedric was having dinner with her, and sometimes, even when they were in bed.

And every time, Cedric would leave.

Isabella was determined to embarrass her, repeatedly Infuriating her in this way.

Now, Isabella was truly blinded!

She was unable to regain her sight, and could only resort to these means.

Natalie didn’t care about Cedric as a man, but isabella!

She didn’t want isabella to get comfortable with her position now Earlier, Natale didn’t want to deal with her. But now, Isabella had slandered Natalie’s mother, and that was enson to get nd of her She picked up her phone and dialed a number The call was quickly answered “Nat. Rebecca’s gentle voice came through the phone Nat?!

Rebecca had never called her name so tenderly in the three years of mamage with Cedric It was unexpected for Natale to receive such treatment even after their divorce “I’m at Scarlet Villa now.” “Oh, that’s good” “Cedric just went out!

“Where did he go?

atalie to receive such treat “Sapphire. He went to see Isabella Natalie said calmly However, her deliberate calmness only served to darken Rebecca’s mood “Okay, I got it. Fil call her right away?

“Madam Rebecca, I think you should consider it carefully I believe in the near future, the relationship between isabella and me will be exposed” Do you think I’ll be the only one who will be embarrassed when the time comes?” Rebeccal’s mood turned sour at the reminder.

Without waiting for her to speak, Natalie continued. “I don’t really care I’ve gotten used to public opinion before, but what about the Johnson family’s reputation After all, it was a big family.

னர் Even if Rebecca didn’t care, plenty of people in the Johnson family did Natalie could hear Rebecca’s breathing get heavier, “I understand. I’ll handle this matter and make sure it doesn’t get exposed!” Rebecca absolutely couldn’t let the relationship between Natalie and Isabella be exposed. That would only make the Johnson family look worse!

As Natalie said, she might not care, but what about Rebecca and the rest of the Johnson family?

Not caring about reputation was impossible in high society, especially when it was a blood relation that Isabella had with Natalie!

“And one more thing.” Just as Rebecca was angrily about to hang up the phone, Natalie spoke again.

T- “…What is it?” “Isabella is blind. What trouble could she possibly cause? The Johnson family is providing her with everything she needs, so what does she have to be dissatisfied about?” “Are you suggesting someone is behind her?” “Who knows for sure?” nd he even likes to “Although I’m reluctant to admit it, I have to say that Cedric is an attractive man. And he take so many chances with the Johnson family’s reputation. He’s quite daring, isn’t he?” Rebecca’s mood was already terrible, and Natalie’s words further infuriated her.

Who exactly was scheming behind the scenes?!

After hanging up Natalie’s call, Rebecca was on the verge of smashing the phone. She had to admit that what Natalie said was right.

of that.

their family had provided her with more than enough. Being a smart woman, she must be aware The Jolison family would never accept a blind person as one of their own. If she went too far, the favor would be gone, and her life would only become more difficult The only possibility was that there must be someone behind her.

actly dared to use the reputation of the Johnson family as a bet?!

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 177-Isabella’s Embarrassment After hanging up Natalie’s call, Rebecca immediately called Cedric After a few moments, Cedric answered, “Hello.” “Where are you now?” “Sapphire.” “Is there something wrong with you?! Rebecca was visibly angry. “Turn around and drive back immediately. No matter what happened with Isabella, I’ll handle it!” “Who told you?” Cedric asked solemnly.

He had just stepped out of Scarlet Villa’s gate when Rebecca called “Don’t worry about who told me. Just remember that this matter is not so simple. I hope you understand!” “What do you mean?” “Don’t you see? Your relationship with Natalie has just improved a little, and Isabella suddenly comes looking for you? I suspect… there’s someone behind her!” Previously, Rebecca had never thought about this. She always believed it was Isabella’s cunning scheme and that she was doing it alone.

But now, Natalie’s words made her realize that if Isabella was such a cunning woman, a lot of things could be explained!

Isabella had a roof over her head, and she was set for life with the Johnson family caring for her.

What else could she be dissatisfied with that she needed to come looking for Cedric?

There was only one explanation! novelbin As Natalie had said, there was someone behind her!

But who exactly was behind her?

That was In the car, Cedric exuded a chilling aura.

→ “In that case, I must go even more!” “You know what the relationship between her and Natalie is like, Ced! It’s possible… that it’s a trap for our family!” Cedric’s face hardened, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.

A trap for the Johnson family!?

“It’s not as complicated as ou think!” Obviously, Cedric didn’t think too much at that moment, but Rebecca couldn’t let it go.

She said, “No matter what Isabella wants from you, don’t meet her for the time being!” “If you’re not at ease, I’ll go to Sapphire right away!” Rebecca compromised.

In one night, the situation in Verde City seemed to have truly become chaotic.

Natalie’s reminder to Rebecca instantly brought out many questions.

Everything that was now in the past didn’t seem as simple as mere coincidences….

When Cedric left Scarlet Villa, Christina called Natalie.

Natalie noted the caller and answered.

“Hello, Ms. Johnson. What do you need?” “Natalie, did you see? That’s how insignificant you are in his heart!” “I knew it was you.

As long as she was by Cedric’s side, this woman would trouble her at every moment.

Natalie’s fingers moved subconsciously.

“You’re recording this, right? Christina asked.

Natalie was silent.

called to check on you and want to record our call. Is it necessary? Christina remarked, showing her telligence Natalie turned off the recording.

On the other end, there was a light laughter.

“Don’t you find it disgusting?” Christina said.

Natalie remained silent, listening.

“I used to wonder why she hated you so much. It turns out you used up what belonged to her. Even if you compensate tenfold now, she won’t forgive you, right?” Christina had figured it out.

She knew that Isabella was Natalie’s sister.

She also knew the vast difference in the environments Isabella and Natalie grew up in. Compared to Natalie, Isabella had a much more difficult life, constantly enduring the blows of society and growing up in the mud.

The path she took was filled with hardships, and her deep hatred towards Natalie and Natalie’s mother stemmed from the adversities she faced.

She wished to utterly destroy Natalie.

font find it “Ms. Johnson, if you don’t find it disgusting, why should I? Also, let me remind you, there’s nothing in my family that belongs to her!” “A child born out of wedlock enjoys equal inheritance rights, Natalie. Don’t you understand? You also have a lawyer friend, don’t you?” Natalie closed her eyes.

“Do you think you can continue staying in the Johnson family when Cedric and Rebecca learn of your true nature?” “You’re quite a capable woman yourself. Yet, you didn’t manage to do anything about it, right?” Natalie had to admit that Christina was genuinely intelligent.

Over the years, Natalie had tried more than once to let Rebecca and Cedric know what kind of person she But it was useless.

Christina was cunning, or perhaps Natalie was just ineffective “Hmph, they’ll know eventually!” “Natalie, technically, we shouldn’t have any grievances after your divorce with Ced. But why are you so stubborn?” Hah! Even Christina’s tone sounded so possessive and intimate when calling Cedric’s name!

I “Christina, I find you quite pitiful. After all these years, you still don’t dare show even half your liking for him.” “You also know how Rebecca is, right? Even if she treats you like her own, you’ll be kicked out of the Johnson family once you cross the last of her limits!” In the three years she was in the Johnson family, Natalie had observed and more or less understood everyone in the family.

What did Rebecca think of Christina?

She wanted to use her for a marriage alliance!

At most, Cedric regarded her as a sister!

And Christina’s feelings for Cedric… perhaps only Natalie understood them the best.

When she dealt with the women around Cedric before, Christina never intervened directly; it was always in Rebecca’s name.

“How pathetic! Even if you drive away all the women around him, what’s the use? You’ve been patient for ten years and still gained nothing. The only thing you gained was probably your patience!” No, it was more accurate to say that all she had gained was an obsession!

Natalie had to admit that Christina’s obsession was truly frightening!

“Be smug while you still can.” “By the way, let me remind you.” Natalie thought of something and continued, “Rebecca is starting to suspect that there’s someone behind Isabella now.” If she finds out that you’ve been working with Isabella all along, what do you think will happen?” Natalie!

“I also think I’m a bit despicable!” In the past, she was foolish!

She directly admitted that it was Christina.

What did she get? Angry rebukes.

Everyone believed in Christina!

However, if Rebecca had any doubts, she would definitely investigate thoroughly.

“I didn’t bother dealing with you before this, but I’m getting tired of this, you know?” In the past, Natalie had disliked dealing with Christina.

But Natalie was repeating another life now, and Christina’s repeated actions… could make even a saint annoyed!

After hanging up Christina’s call, Natalie took several deep breaths.

Her eyes dimmed.

There was a commotion at the door, and Cedric entered, exuding a chilling aura.

He frowned and said, “Butler, gather everyone.” “H–has something happened?” “Just do it!” “No need. It was me.” Natalie said as she came out of the dining room, looking at Cedric Rebecca had really moved fast.

Cedric was originally convinced that Rebecca had planted someone here again, but he didn’t expect it to be Natalie.

Natalie looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?” “What’s wrong with you?” “You might not be able to think things through, but I don’t want to bear this embarrassment. If I didn’t live in Scarlet Villa, it would be fine. You can go wherever you want!” But unfortunately…

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 178-Strong Contrast The two of them locked eyes and neither backed down!

The atmosphere around them was tense.

“Natalie, you’re so daring now, huh?” *Cedric, don’t push me too hard!” She would stay here because of the situation with her uncle, but her limit.

this was:

Cedric also realized it.

If they continued to push, this woman might…!

Taking a deep breath, he restrained his anger and said, “You’re not allowed to do this.

again!” “It’s not that you can’t see her. There’s a simple solution: just don’t get involved with me!” Natalie refused to back down..

Christina’s phone call made her understand something!

The start of her relationship with Cedric had thrown many people into chaos. If they went crazy, they would do so without any limits.

Meanwhile, Cedric had started rumors that they might not be divorced and might even remarry that afternoon.

And now, he was going to Sapphire alone in the evening?!

Who did he think would bear the embarrassment?!

“Stephen really spoiled you!” Cedric said after a while.

In his eyes, since Natalie got to know her uncle, she had become increasingly arrogant when facing Cedric nothing before, so I couldn’t do anything to you. But Cedric… We wouldn’t have reached this point today if you had ever considered me, even if it was just a little bit.” rasted me? When there were rumors about you and isabells, were you fordidy (think) didn’t care? Or that the public didn’t car67 When rumors about him and Isabella were widespread, it considerably impacted Natalie.

What was he doing at that time?

“Isabella and I are…” “Not what I thought, right? So, it was the public that didn’t care?” At that time, the news of him having an affair with his secretary spread throughout Verde City.

Now, he said it wasn’t what it looked like?

He wasn’t even offering a proper explanation!

Hah!

Cedric saw through it. “Are you forcing my hand now?” Isabella had called him several times tonight, sounding very anxious. Something must have happened.

And Cedric had to admit now that Natalie’s stubborn attitude gave off a confrontational feeling.

Natalie said, “If you already have your mind set on a decision, who can force you, hmm?” Cedric pursed his l*ps tightly and silently watched her.

The air got increasingly tense, and it felt like a fight would break out at any moment.

Was it a confrontation between Natalie and Cedric?

Or was it a confrontation between Natalie and Christina, Isabella, and others?

She had initially wanted to stay calm and follow Stephen’s advice. She wanted to brush these people aside as they were not worth her time However, these people had impure intentions. Since they insisted on a struggle that would go on until one of them fell, she could only face it head–on.

Mmph! You r The man k*ssed her fiercely!

It was harsh and urgent, as if it carried deliberate retaliation.

tale retorted indignantly and bit down on his l*ps.

frontation betwe ontation between the two ended, leaving everyone frightened In the end, Cedric cradled her slender waist with his strong arms as if wanting to break her. Then, he used his rough fingers to caress Natalie’s bloodied l*ps.

“Natalie, you’re truly a minx!” “What a coincidence! Don’t you know that minxes love blood? I can’t wait to taste yours!” The man’s eyes dimmed a bit, and he finally pressed her onto the sofa.

It was not a peaceful night.

Rebecca rushed to Sapphire overnight and appeared at Isabella’s apartment, looking not too pleased.

Meanwhile, Isabella had already gone to sleep.

When she heard Rebecca was here, Isabella hastily woke up. With the help of a maid, she came out wearing a silk camisole nightgown.

Rebecca’s expression darkened.

“If Cedric had come, would you still wear this to meet him?” Her tone was unpleasant.

There was no longer the gentleness she had displayed in the hospital. After all, she despised manipulative people. Furthermore, it was happening right under her nose, and she was the one being manipulated!

Isabella lowered her head.

was in a rush.” Slap! Slap!

Rebecca walked toward her and slapped the maid twice on the face!

The maid covered her face in fear, looking at Rebecca with fear. “M–Madam!” Tm paying you five times more than the market rate. I didn’t hire you to do nothing. If you can’t even dress her properly, what’s the point of having you here? Rebecca scolded.

Madam, it’s my fault… ring how Rebecca had slapped the maid, Isabella grabbed Rebecca’s hand in a pitiful manner. She It had worked on Rebecca back at the hospital, but now…!

Rebecca glared harshly at the maid she had slapped, then sat on the sofa. She looked at Isabella, who was panicked and lost because of her blindness.

Her eyes were sharp, as if trying to see through Isabella. However, Isabella concealed herself too well, leaving her unable to find any flaws.

“Aunt.” “Call me Madam, Johnson.” Rebecca’s tone was cold.

Isabella turned pale.

She could clearly feel Rebecca’s emotions.

Looking at how pale Isabella had become, Rebecca closed her eyes to conceal the fierce glint and said, ” Isabella, you’re Ivan’s sister. Logically, our gratitude toward your brother should extend to you. But you should know your place!” “The change in this situation is too excessive. Ultimately, the gain outweighs the loss, especially since you’re blind now. Without the Johnson family, you’ll have a hard time!” Rebecca’s words were sharp and straightforward. Her directness made Isabella’s already pale face even more translucent.

Isabella had to admit that Rebecca had pinpointed her vulnerability accurately. With Isabella now blind, losing the Johnson family’s support would make her life more than just difficult.

“Aunt, I don’t know where I went wrong.” Isabella’s tone was somewhat choked, and her face betrayed her distress.

Previously, Rebecca had prejudices against Natalie. Seeing Isabella in this state would have softened her heart, and she would have thought that Natalie was the culprit for everything that had gone wrong.

But now, it was different.

After weighing all the pros and cons between the Johnson family and Isabella, Rebecca’s mind was clear.

inging at her watch, she said, “Isabella, you’re clever. You know how to capture someone’s heart.

Tell me, why did you call Ced tonight?” As soon as Rebecca mentioned Cedric’s name, Isabella understood Rebecca’s intention even more.

Her face drained of all remaining color. She hadn’t expected Rebecca to find out so soon.

Trembling, she replied, “I just… I…” “No matter the reason, you should be well aware, right? He’s your sister’s ex–husband. Even if they’re divorced now, what do you think will happen when word gets out that you called your former brother–in- law so late in the night?” Isabella’s breathing became ragged!

At this moment, she had to admit that Rebecca’s attitude was leaning towards Natalie’s side.

But Isabella was mistaken.

In this matter, Rebecca wasn’t taking Natalie’s side. She didn’t know about what had happened between Natalie and Isabella.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have allowed Cedric to get involved with Isabella at the hospital.

“Who gave you the phone?” Seeing Isabella’s state, Rebecca’s tone became even more sharp.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 179-Irwin Frazier As Rebecca finished speaking, the air grew still.

Though Isabella disliked Christina and even considered her an unreliable ally, keeping her around had its uses.

Seeing how Isabella remained silent, Rebecca’s gaze turned cold.

“Isabella, I remember you’re quite clever. Don’t act confused now.” “No one gave it to me. It’s my previous phone.” “Is it?” “Yes,” Isabella nodded.

Rebecca took a deep breath. She concealed her emotions and stood up. Then, she glanced at the maid behind Isabella.

Extending her hand, the maid tensed. “M–madam…?” “Madam Johnson, what are you doing?” Isabella asked when she heard the commotion.

“Isabella, I don’t want you to call him again.” “Is it because of my sister? I remember you don’t like her!” “The biggest difference between you and your sister is that she knows where the line is,” Rebecca said, surprisingly praising Natalie.

Even the things she had done so far were only chaotic, but not catastrophic!

But standing in the current situation and understanding this aspect of Isabella and Natalie’s relationship, anyone would have gone crazy back then!

It was no wonder Natalie caused such a ruckus and demanded a divorce.

Isabella’s face turned pale once again, and she couldn’t stop trembling.

Rebecca took Isabella’s phone, but she didn’t confiscate it. She deleted Cedric’s number and anything related to him on it.

he then handed it to the maid with a swollen face and said. “As long as you behave, the Johnson family whe ver you want. This much, we can guarantee!!

neware esger to drag Natalie into the mud, Natalie remained on top.

G the title of the year’s outstanding fema ser’s outstanding female entrepreneur, and people are aproached and handed oss of water in Natalie “Thank you,” she said, taking it.

Zane leaned in and whispered something in her ear, eliciting an even brighter smile.

Undoubtedly, the regular product launch was a great success. Although this new line of jewelry had just entered production, loyal Sylvan Gems fans had already made their pre–orders.

However, Zane had told her something ironic.

He mentioned that Christina wanted to order a set, and it reminded Natalie that Christina’s birthday was approaching.

“Tell her it’s sold out!” She was fine doing business with anyone.

Except for Christina.

Natalie also recalled that Rebecca and Christina always attended Sylvan Gems‘ new product launches, but they never managed to get anything.

This indicated how sought–after Sylvan Gems‘ products were.

“Yes, ma’am.” Zane nodded.

Considering Natalie’s relationship with the Johnson family, he took the opportunity to ask a bit more.. Either way, he would have directly refused if it were according to his own inclination.

In the audience, Christina and Rebecca sat together, surrounded by people from the high society circle who were mostly familiar with each other. Everyone discussed this year’s jewelry designs enthusiastically.

However, when the conversation turned to Natalie, someone remarked, “Madam Johnson, I never expected your daughter–in–law to become the CEO of Sylvan Gems!” “I remember how she used to stay at home to care for you. What a good child! I didn’t expect your teachings to land her where she is today! How wonderful!” woman with an accent praised Natalie while Indirectly flattering Rebecca For the first time, Rebecca felt proud of Natalie.

Oh, the dear girl is wonderful. She’s really obedient, no doubt about that!” How did those rumors about her and your son start?” Another high–society woman interjected, clearly Their social circle was built on comparisons and competitions.

Rebecca’s expression changed slightly and she said, “Those rumors were spread by people who couldn’t stand their good relationship. She and Cedric are doing well together.” “Oh, I see. Well, we’ll just need to look for you when we want any jewelry from Sylvan Gems next time, night? Oh my, that’s convenient!” “Sylvan Gems‘ jewelry is incredibly popular, and you all know it. Now that it’s sold out, looking for me or Nat might not even help!” Rebecca was a clever person.

Knowing that her relationship with Natalie was currently strained, she couldn’t possibly speak up for these two–faced people to Natalie.

However, one had to admit that her response was smooth and retained some dignity.

In previous years, gatherings like these always centered around Christina due to the Johnson family’s connections.

Christina basked in a lot of glory by Rebecca’s side.

But this year…!

Thinking about Natalie’s triumphant appearance on stage just now, a vicious glint flashed in Christina’s eyes!

After the product launch event, Natalie was exhausted. She handed over the on–site affairs to Zane, who announced the pre–order list and sent notifications individually.

As Christina observed people around her receiving notifications while she remained empty–handed, her face became increasingly unsightly.

Before the event, Christina had bragged to her group of close friends. She boldly claimed that her mother Would definitely be able to buy her a set of jewelry from Sylvan Gems this year!

Now, what was this?!

as Natale nived at the parking lot, she heard the urgent clicking of high heels behind her, Then came Christina’s furious shout, “Natalie, stop right there!” Natalie paused and turned around. At this moment, she stood by the Pagani. A cold glint flashed in her eyes as Christina looked past her to the car behind her.

“Are you doing this on purpose?” Christina demanded.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 180-Bankrupt Him Natalie sneered and ignored Christina. She wasn’t even bothered to respond.

Instead, she opened the door and got into the car without a word.

Seeing Natalie ignore her, Christina rushed forward and grabbed Natalie’s car window with both hands.

“Natalie, are you feeling proud now?” “There’s nothing to be proud of, don’t you think?” “I don’t have ma to pot for that anyway Natalie seemed indifferent, which contrasted sharply with Christina’s anger.

Sometimes, indifference was the most cutting response. While one person meticulously planned and schemed, the other was too preoccupied to care.

“I’m buying those things with my own money! Why won’t you sell to me? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll report you?” “Report me for what? Sylvan Gems‘ items are limited edition every year. If you can’t buy them, it’s because you’re too slow!” “You…” “Is there anything else?” “Natalie, don’t be too arrogant!” “Let go!” Natalie didn’t want to engage in this boring conversation. She glanced at Christina’s hand on her car window, her tone stern and icy.

Undoubtedly, Natalie’s attitude made Christina feel a wave of embarrassment. Natalie was a tough nut to crack.

wait to see the day you fall Christina glared at her fiercely and hissed through gritted teeth.

Natalle met her crimson eyes with a cold glint in her.

backed down “I don’t know if I’ll fall, but you… Why are you so anxious that you didn’t get the order? Did you make any big promises?” “Well, you better think about how you’ll endure the embarrassment at your banquet without the jewelry.

hmm?” The air around Christina had turned icy cold. Just as she was about to explode, Natalie stepped on the gas, and the car shot out like an arrow.

In order to dodge, Christina had to take several steps back.

“Natalie!” Christina clenched her fists, a fierce glint in her eyes.

Through the rearview mirror, Natalie saw Christina’s frustration and mocked her with a contemptuous smile.

Christina might be cunning, but she genuinely cared about her image.

Of all the things to brag about, she had to say she would get her hands on jewelry from Sylvan Gems?

Hah! What a tall order!

In Radiant Tower, Cedric sat in a luxurious chair, emitting a chilling aura. In his hands, he held the call records from Natalie’s number.

“Are they all here?” “Yes, all the records from around the time of Isabella’s kidnapping are there,” Lucas respectfully replied.

Cedric examined them carefully. The further he looked, the tighter his heart became.

Undoubtedly, Natalie’s call records were mostly with him and Bianca. There were only a few calls from the Johnson Manor, Clearly, her connections were simple and straightforward..

Cedric then took out the file from the drawer. It was information on the transfer records.

He examined the times on it and noted it was a week before Isabella was kidnapped. In that timeframe, Cedric carefully compared Natalie’s call records, During that record segment, there was almost nothing unusual!

After scrutinizing the money transfer records and cross–referencing with the timing of the communications, there was no connection at all.

Could it be that…!

The suspicions that arose in Cedric’s mind made his head go blank.

Closing his eyes, he concealed the chill that flashed through his eyes.

“Lucas!” “Yes, sir!” “Check on…” Check on what?

In fact, there was no need to check anything.

Couldn’t he just ask Natalie directly? Before, he didn’t believe every word she said. But now, he had seen the transfer and Natalie’s call records.

She hadn’t been lying.

“Check the account. I want to know its recent usage locations and times,” Cedric said as he handed Natalie’s bank account information to Lucas.

Lucas took it and nodded understandingly.

“Also, don’t let Yuvan know about this.” “I understand.” On this point, Lucas was clear. After all, he didn’t know what Yuvan was up to before.

After Lucas left, Yuvan came in shortly afterward.

“Mr. Johnson.” Has everything been settled?” Yes, sir! Yuvan nodded.

He handed the folder to Cedric, who opened it. After glancing through it. Cedric nodded and said, “Hmm, Looking at Cedric, he seemed like he wanted to ask something. Ultimately, he didn’t say During this time, Yuvan knew about the reports in Verde City. He knew that Cedric and Natalie were getting involved again.

He just felt it was so unfair to Isabella.

After Yuvan left, Cedric was once again alone in his office. The restlessness on his expression became evident, and he smoked three cigarettes in a row to elevate the feeling.

Then, he picked up his phone and called Natalie.

“What is it?” Natalie asked from the other end of the line.

Cedric glanced at the time on his watch. “It’s almost lunchtime. I’ll come pick you up.

“No need. I’ve already left the press conference.” “Are you back at Sylvan Gems?” “Yeah.” “Then, I’ll come to you.

He wanted to see her right now.

During this time, there was always a voice in his heart telling him not to let her go far.

He mustn’t let her go far!

It felt like if Natalie wandered far enough, she would vanish, and he would lose her.

That thought made his heart tighten.

have another meeting later. I’m very busy!” know.

Even so, what difference did it make? He still couldn’t resist his desires.

Now, he clung to her every moment!

What a tragedy!

The only worry was her entanglement with Cedric, “How are things on your end?” Without waiting for Stephen to ask about Cedric, Natalie first inquired about the situation on Stephen’s side.
