A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 191-You Tell Me or Should I Ask?

At the Johnson Manor, Christina was in her room, staring at her reflection in the mirror. There was a sharp glint in her eyes as she stared at the photo on her phone.

She tapped on the device and sent out a message.

Natalie, oh Natalie!

The days they had were so peaceful. Why make it so difficult?

The phone rang, and she answered, “Hello.” “Mr. Phelps is returning soon,” a deep, masculine voice came through the phone.

Christina smirked, a triumphant expression on her face.

“Alright, I got it.” So, he was finally coming back, huh?

She had to admit that things had moved so slowly this time, but at least it happened.

Ultimately, it wasn’t that bad!

Satisfied, she hung up and descended the stairs.

Downstairs, Rebecca was dressed elegantly with newly styled hair. There was an air of sophistication.

around her.

esaw She was just about to leave when she saw Christina coming down. Rebecca paused briefly as she remembered something.

She said to Christina, “Mr. Channing’s son is returning tomorrow. Go meet him!” novelbin The last blind date had been a failure.

However, Rebecca always kept Christina’s future marriage in mind. Putting aside arranged marriages, Christina was already at a suitable age to get married.

Christina’s complexion paled. “Mom, I don’t want to get married.” “Nonsense. What are you going to do if you don’t get married? Are you planning to rely on me forever??

just want to be with you forever,” Christina was adept at using sweet words.

Despite her scolding tone, Rebecca’s expression showed a hint of indulgence.

“Be a good girl. Mr. Channing’s family is quite traditional. Choose your clothes carefully tomorrow and behave appropriately, understand?” “Moml” “Enough of that. I have something to do, so I’m leaving.” After saying this, Rebecca picked up her bag and headed out.

Even in her fifties, she maintained her allure. It was a testament to her beauty in her youth.

With Rebecca gone, Christina’s playful expression transformed into a sharp one.

Wanda was standing downstairs. When she turned around, she met Christina’s dangerous gaze, and her heart trembled.

Miss “Wanda.” “Yes, miss!” “Make me some pastries.” Christina was still in a good mood if she ignored the blind date she needed to attend tomorrow.

Now that Isaac was returning, Christina felt satisfied just thinking about the scene that awaited Natalie.

Wanda nodded and hurried off.

After so many years by Rebecca’s side, she knew Christina’s tastes well–what flavors she liked and when she liked them.

Everything was crystal clear!

Behind this understanding was Wanda’s boundless dedication. Every time she saw Christina enjoying her food, Wanda felt a sense of joy.

Soon, Wanda brought the pastries to Christina.

Here, Miss. Please enjoy nowledged Wanda’s culinary skills. Taking a bite, she nodded in satisfaction “Your skill in desserts is truly impressive. Even without the Johnson family, it would undoubtedly attract a lot of customers if you opened a shop.” “Miss, are you trying to drive me away? Miss, I… “What are you talking about? I said your skill is good!” At Wanda’s reaction, Christina grew impatient.

A servant was just a servant at the end of the day!

No matter how long they spent in high society, they couldn’t change their inherently humble nature.

Wanda finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Christina’s words. Christina then asked, “When you went out with my mom earlier, did you see Mrs. Channing?” “Yes, I saw her.” “What kind of person is she?” “Mrs. Channing is quite good. Madam made an excellent arrangement for you this time!” Wanda was clearly satisfied with what she knew about the Channing family.

Christina’s expression darkened. “Excellent? What’s so excellent about it?” Wanda hesitated and stayed silent.

Christina was initially enjoying her snack. But now, losing interest, she threw the half–eaten pastry onto the plate.

“W–would you like another piece?” Wanda asked hesitantly. After putting so much effort into making them, it was a shame to see them go to waste.

“I’m done.” Christina stood up.

Wanda’s eyes flashed with disappointment. She had put so much effort into making each pastry.

“In fact, Miss, I’ve met Mr. Channing’s son. He looks good and has a pleasant personality. If you two can get along, it would be…” Shut up!

Christina impatiently interrupted Wanda.

After a few moments of silence, Wanda sald, “I know what you’re thinking, but Madam won’t allow it.

Wanda had tested the waters with Rebecca before. She knew Christina’s feelings were meant to stay private, which could lead to chaos if Rebecca found out.

It might even jeopardize what Christina currently possessed.

Christina shot Wanda a warning look.

“Have you known all along?” “I’ve watched you grow up. How could I not know the pain in your heart?” Wanda’s words softened Christina’s heart a bit.

She hadn’t expected others to see through it, while the one who considered herself like a mother remained oblivious.

“Madam has always valued social status and family background. Moreover, the Johnson family is a prominent one, and she prioritizes the family’s interests over everything else,” Wanda continued.

“Although she raised you, she…” Wanda trailed off.

Christina glared at her fiercely. “Go on!” “Madam doesn’t think highly of you.” Christina’s already unpleasant expression darkened further, and there was a mocking smile on her l*ps. Though Wanda’s words were harsh, Christina knew they were the truth.

Rebecca looked down on her.

The comparison between Natalie and herself was evident. Natalie had the support of such an influential uncle, making her internationally renowned.

It made Christina feel inferior.

She wanted to see how Rebecca would feel when she watched her son crush the one she desired so much.

Christina’s eyes brimmed with hatred for Rebecca.

Miss, she’s trying to find you a good match, okay?” Wanda said.

Hall A good match, huh?

In Wanda’s view, Rebecca wasn’t focused only on the benefits an arranged marriage would bring to the Johnson family. That was already the utmost goodwill Rebecca could extend to Natalie.

What kind of person was Rebecca?

Wands had been by her side for many years, and she knew her better than anyone.

“I got it. Thanks for the reminder,” Christina replied with a smile that belied her sharpness.

While the Johnson family faced internal turmoil, Verde City experienced a significant event that caused fluctuations in public opinion regarding Natalie.

At one minute, she would be associated with the Johnson family; the next, she was with Irwin.

Even if Natalie’s personal conduct was not in question, those observing from the outside couldn’t help but view her with a biased perspective.

The moments she spent with Irwin in the restaurant were captured from different angles and circulated online.

She had become a hot topic, and this latest development pushed her to the center of public scrutiny.

“Find out who leaked this and shut them down!” Natalie ordered Zane.

Zane nodded.

Natalie thought for a moment and added, “If it’s an individual account, trace that person and file a lawsuit against them!”

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 192-Deceiving Cedric Zane nodded, “I understand.” This time, Zane was quite satisfied with how Natalie chose to handle the situation.

He had to admit that sitting in her current position required such boldness. Regardless of who it was, she needed to respond forcefully without any reservations.

This was what Stephen wanted.

Earlier, Stephen had allowed Natalie to be buffeted by public opinion to temper her character and develop her resilience.

Individuals like them had to be strong; after all, she was the future leader of Regal Horizons, and she would need to handle many matters personally.

As Zane left, the office door slammed open.

Natalie looked up from the computer and saw Cedric standing at the door, exuding an ominous coldness, The coldness… was shrouded in danger!

Natalie closed her eyes. “What do you want?” Leaning against the doorframe, Cedric said, “Do you want to confess voluntarily, or should I interrogate you?” “Do what you want!” Natalie was infuriated, and she flung her pen at Cedric.

Did it need to be an interrogation when he just wanted an explanation? In that case, why not mention ancient torture methods or just skip to the death penalty?!

Cedric entered and closed the door behind him. He strode forward and approached Natalie. There was an irate look on his handsome face, indicating that Natalie’s unruly attitude had truly angered him.

When he reached Natalie’s side, he bent down and encircled her in his arms. His actions gave room to escape.

her no Natalie tried to avoid his breath as he pressed closer to her.

Let gol Do you want me to keep your uncle busier, or should I let Regal Horizons fall apart?” Cedric asked.

“You’re that capable, huh?!” Natalie couldn’t bear it any longer.

Let Regal Horizons International fall apart?

How dare he!

However, Natalie couldn’t help but admit that for him to utter such words, he must have some significant leverage over Regal Horizons International.

Her breathing became unsteady.

“Come at me if you want to. Don’t drag others into this!” “You’re not afraid of death, so why would I come for you?” Cedric harshly gripped her jawbone and said in an ominous tone.

Indeed, she wasn’t afraid of death.

That was the feeling Natalie gave Cedric right now.

Natalie asked, “Apart from resorting to these tactics, what else do you have?” “Don’t you find it interesting?” Cedric remarked, gazing at her with a smirk.

Natalie felt the urge to scratch his face!

But in the end, she restrained herself.

“Irwin and I were just discussing projects!” Snap!

Cedric slapped a photo to the desk, the force revealing just how furious he was.

“Is this how you discuss cooperation?” his tone dripping with anger.

In the photo, Irwin had his hand on the back of her head. It was a gesture that looked ambiguous and Intimate from that angle.

Natalie closed her eyes.

*Do you know that the internet is exploding right now? Wasn’t the online harassment enough before? Do you want them to curse and insult you again?” ‘re divorced. Is there anything for them to criticize? Natalie replied.

“Are you trying to say that if they scold you harshly, you’ll just marry Irwin to prove them wrong?

Cedric looked at her indifferent expression, but his voice had a dangerous tone.

He knew this damned woman was capable of doing such a thing!

In Cedric’s eyes, Natalie… would really do it!

Natalie met his dangerous gaze and wanted to retort fiercely. But thinking about the things about her uncle that he held in his hands, she swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.

“You’re overthinking. Why would I?” “Is it that you won’t, or you dare not?” “I don’t know how much of Regal Horizons you have in your hands. Naturally, I dare not.” So, she would, but she didn’t dare?!

Although he asked, Natalie’s response infuriated Cedric to the point of almost losing his temper.

He slammed her into the chair.

“Natalie, you’re quite something!” The current aura around him was impressive as he looked down at the small figure in the big chair.

Cedric continued, “Tell me, would you dare challenge me this way if you had nothing?” “I advise you not to try!” Natalie raised an eyebrow, looking at him defiantly.

Cedric laughed and patted her face.

“You dare to challenge me like this now because you have your uncle backing you, right?” The words were somewhat ambiguous, but the threat was evident. Natalie’s heart sank, and the danger in her eyes became more pronounced at this moment.

Cedric continued, “I really want to give it a try, you know?” Natalie replied, “Fine. Let’s see if you really have the capability!” Since this man insisted on using her uncle’s influence as a threat, they could only take the conflict to a more decisive level and see who would come out on top!

Cedric pressed a forceful kss on her lps that was tinged with a dangerous oppression. Natalie’s sharp halls once again cut into his neck, leaving deep marks with blood oozing out.

Enraged, Cedric shoved her away. Then, he threw his phone in front of her and changed the subject abruptly.

“Do you recognize this number?” Natalie was confused by his sudden shift. She glared at him and then picked up the phone.

Glancing at it briefly, a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.

It seemed that this man was also investigating secretly, 1 don’t recognize it,” she answered without much thought as she put the phone back down.

“Natalie!” Cedric was infuriated by her attitude.

Natalie looked up and said, “If I said it was Christina’s number, would you believe it?” “Don’t involve Tina in everything.” “Then I don’t recognize it. If you ask me, it must be related to Christina. This answer is quite vague, but that’s all I can give you!” Whether he believed it or not was up to him.

As the words fell, a chill crept into Cedric’s eyes. At this moment, his anger was about to erupt. However, Natalie looked at him calmly.

Undoubtedly, his reaction was within her expectations.

“Cedric, you have too many connections in your life. There are too many people and things that can easily affect you,” Natalie said calmly.

“So, you’re saying I should believe you?” The man laughed coldly as he stood up.

There was a hint of mockery in it.

You can choose not to believe me…” Natalie trailed off and chose not to continue the rest of her sentence.

in those three years of marriage, whether this man believed her or not was irrelevant. What mattered was that he should protect her.

When Natalie thought about what came after, she realized it was where she could give Irwin a straightforward answer.

After all, Cedric had even demanded her eyes for Isabella. With that, what hopes could she still have for this man?

What a joke!

“Although you’re unmatched in the business world, you can’t deny that you can’t handle family relationships!” Natalie’s words were tinged with disdain, making Cedric feel uncomfortable..

A growing chill emanated from his eyes, making Natalie chuckle.

“If you handled things well, would your marriage have lasted only three short years?” “You saying that reminds me–I really can’t accept just three years!” He wanted a lifetime.

Even if it meant tearing each other apart, he wanted them to be together forever!

The calmness on Natalie’s face cracked at this moment.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 193-Provocation After Cedric left, Natalie tried to suppress the impulse in her chest. But ultimately, she failed.

She picked up her phone and called Stephen.

Cedric’s parting words undoubtedly reminded her that he wouldn’t let things go easily.

As Irwin had said… She wasn’t alone.

Cedric was manipulating her now, confident that she wouldn’t dare to say anything to her uncle. But Natalie felt a strong unwillingness to just let his threat go unanswered.

“Nat.” “How’s everything going?” Natalie asked.

Cedric’s stunt had caused Stephen a lot of trouble. When Natalie thought about it, she wished she could tear Cedric to pieces.

“Don’t worry; everything has been taken care of.” “Uncle!” “Hmm?” “Is there any trouble within Regal Horizons?” Natalie asked, thinking of potential issues similar to the Sylvan Gems incident from before.

She hadn’t caused those problems, but in her current position, everything was her responsibility. Even the aftermath of the last shake–up had given her a headache.

“What kind of problems would there be? That’s all you ever ask when you call.” Stephen’s tone became serious.

Then, it became even more serious, “What do you mean by asking that all the time?” After all, he was the chairman of a’major corporation. When Natalie suddenly asked such a question, Stephen naturally thought there might be something more to the situation.

Natalie closed her eyes to conceal her irritation. After some contemplation, she circled around the topic and finally said, “Cedric is behind all this.” The air fell silent. Even through the phone, Natalie could sense how Stephen’s breathing turned ragged.

You already knew early on, didn’t you?” Stephen asked after a moment, breaking the silence Yes.

“You foolish girl! What were you planning to do? Why didn’t you say earlier?” Stephen was angry.

During this time, he had been puzzled by the internal issues within Regal Horizons International. How had these internal problems leaked out?

Was there someone intentionally causing trouble?

“Sorry, I…” “Is he threatening you?” “Uncle.” “Natalie, have I taken cared of you for nothing? Don’t you believe in me?” 1. 1.

“Enough, I’ll handle this!” novelbin Stephen was upset.

Who was Natalie?

She was his future successor! Although he intended to toughen her up, he absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone to threaten her under his wing.

He would be the one to provide her with all the experience and hurdles she needed, not some outsider!

Undoubtedly, Stephen treated Cedric as an outsider!

“Oh, okay.” After being scolded by Stephen, Natalie was as timid as a mouse.

“Has Irv gone back?” “Yeah.” Was Irv coming to Simeria also his doing?” Stephen quickly figured out this aspect of the situation.

Men. Hah!

Yeah Natalie confirmed.

This time, Stephen was truly furious He sneered, “Impressive! He restricted me from entering the city and you from leaving. He even managed to chase Irv out, huh? What did he do to you?” What did he do?

Thinking about what Cedric had done to her during this period, Natalie felt a surge of discomfort in her chest.

e still too n “You’re naive. Well, I can’t blame you. He never let you experience the real world before.” Stephen didn’t think too deeply about it. He only felt that Cedric had used this method to keep Natalie by his side.

It was simply shameless!

“Uncle, this is what I plan to do… Natalie didn’t want to say much to Stephen, but she felt it necessary to inform him of what she intended to do next.

However, Stephen was a wise person.

Even before she said anything, Stephen probably already knew what she was going to say.

He interrupted, “Alright, enough. Say whatever you want. Now that the issue with Sylvan Gems has been resolved, do whatever you want!” “But don’t let it affect your work, understood?” “Of course!” Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought Stephen would want her to focus solely on the company and not on what Christina and Isabella were doing.

Stephen had also been young once. Naturally, he knew that Natalie wouldn’t be able to swallow her grievances at this stage.

So, he let her be!

It’s almost New Year’s; will you come back with Irv?” Natalie closed her eyes.

Actually, regarding Irwin Uncle, Irwin and I…” Take it slowly. I know it’s not easy for you to get over it, but he treats you well. He’s a good man, Trust your uncle’s judgment, alright?” The words were at the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back.

Ever since she had an uncle, she had become especially afraid of seeing the concerned look in the eyes of her elders.

During the time in Simeria, Stephen had looked at her like that. Every time she thought of that look, there was a bitter feeling in her chest.

Natalie hung up, and her world quieted down.

Just like this…!

All her previous worries were completely shattered by Cedric’s last words today. Cedric’s current actions.

undoubtedly intended to force her to stay by his side.

He couldn’t let go of the ten years of feelings!

But in Natalie’s view, he was holding onto those ten years too tightly.

And things between them were…!

If there had been hope with things between them, her heart would have wavered in the days when Irwin had been absent.

But every time she interacted with Cedric, all she could think about was his ferocity in her past life. She recalled how he had someone remove her eyes on the operating table and the pain of being burned by the fire….

Those were the barriers in her heart that she could never overcome.

She called in Zane through the intercom.

“Come in, please!” Zane quickly entered. “You called for me?” “How’s the progress of handling the aftermath issues?-Natalie asked straightforwardly.

Given Stephen’s temperament, Natalie knew there would be a storm coming soon since she had informed him of everything.

+15 At this critical moment, she had to handle the issues on the Sylvan Gems side well so that Cedric wouldn’t have any leverage.

Zane nodded. “Rest assured, everything has been handled.” “Good.” Natalie nodded.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

So long as it was handled, it was good.

Everything would be fine.

Now that Natalie had handed the matter of Cedric over to Stephen, she needed to focus on Christina and Isabella.

This… was the official start of it.

After Zane left, Natalie picked up the phone and dialed a number. It was the private investigator she had hired, and he quickly answered.

“Yes, Ms. Walker?” “How’s the investigation going?” She was asking about the remaining kidnapper she had asked him to look into.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 194-Playing Victim Though the remaining kidnapper was currently overseas, Natalie had her eye on him. She was determined to find the person no matter what means necessary.

The private investigator reported, “I’ve essentially determined the general direction. I’m narrowing down the search now. Rest assured, there won’t be any mistakes.” This implied that the kidnapper was likely surrounded by the private investigator’s people.

Natalie finally felt a bit relieved in her heart.

Taking a deep breath, she said, “You’re doing well. Time is of the essence.” “Don’t worry.” The voice on the other end sounded confident.

After hanging up the phone, Natalie felt her world calm again. She didn’t want to do this and even disdained to do it all.

But since those people insisted, she had no choice but to be ruthless!

After Natalie informed Stephen about everything, everything was overturned in an instant as she had expected!

When Cedric came to pick her up after work in the evening, Natalie stood before her own car and coldly said, “It’s time for me to return to Elegance Bay!” “Natalie!” “This game should end.” A game? Do you think this is a game?” “What else could it be? You’ve been playing this domineering game lately, Mr. Johnson. Should I foolishly assume that you care about me, and that’s the reason you can’t let me go?” Couldn’t let go?!

She couldn’t be that significant In Cedric’s heart, right?

Ishe was, she wouldn’t have ended up so miserable in her previous life!

In this life, Cedric had yet to make such an unforgivable choice. However, if Isabella truly insisted on taking her eyes, Natalie believed Cedric would still do it without hesitation.

Natalie didn’t doubt this at all.

The man looked at her with a storm raging in his eyes.

Before Natalie could react, Cedric had reached out and pulled her into his arms.

“Natalie, I underestimated you. You really dare!” Natalie’s l*ps curled up into a smile when she heard this. She could guess that things at Johnson Enterprise were chaotic now.

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Did he really think she would let him control her forever?

In her past life, she was indeed under his control. There had been no escape for her. In the end, she event went blind.

Even if she needed to risk her life, she wanted to break free from this man. novelbin Now that she had such solid support behind her, why should she still let him bind her?

Being imprisoned by Cedric wasn’t such a straightforward matter of just being physically restrained. He was practically holding her soul captive.

“Hah! I really underestimated you before, hmm?” “You did more than that. Your days haven’t been well, right?” “It doesn’t matter. With you suffering alongside me, I’m fine!” With that, the man forcefully shoved her into the waiting Hummer.

Natalie struggled but to no avail.

“You’re a lunatic, Cedric!” Isn’t this what you wanted? To drive me crazy after telling your uncle?” Natalie was silent.

re okay, Let’s go crazy together. We’ll see who loses their mind first!” Mostre shomelessl “Yes, I am!” Natalie felt stifled!

Her mood, which had finally improved a bit, ruined by Cedric, as now c Vivan saw her, h In the end, Cedric brought Natalie to his office. When Yuvan saw her, his eyes darkened.

He approached and greeted respectfully, “Mr. Johnson.” Looking at Natalie, he said automatically, “Ms. Walker.” Natalie was silent.

Everyone here called her Madam, as per Cedric’s instructions. However, Yuvan seemed to express some displeasure in his eyes, which she hadn’t noticed before.

She couldn’t recall offending him.

Or did she…?

Thinking about the night Isabella went to the Johnson Manor with Yuvan by her side, Natalie instantly understood.

In the art of seducing men, Isabella was truly like her mother!

Hearing Yuvan address her as Ms. Walker, Cedric shot him a warning look.

Yuvan, seemingly oblivious to this signal, continued like nothing was wrong. He said, “Mr. Phelps has returned. He’s waiting for you in the lounge.” Isaac!?

Cedric’s face darkened at the mention of Isaac. He had been trying to contact Isaac for a while now, but there had been no response.

Undoubtedly, Cedric had always believed that Isabella’s failed surgery would never have happened if Isaac hadn’t left.

To put it bluntly, he held some resentment towards Isaac for Isabella’s situation.

Now that Isaac was back, Cedric wasn’t planning on treating him kindly.

Head in first. Wait for me there” “Watch her! If she leaves, you’ll all be fired!” With that, Cedric strode towards the direction of the lounge.

Natalie stood still, her eyes turning cold.

This damned man…!

“Madam, please go inside,’ a secretary approached and said in a trembling voice.

Johnson Enterprise paid high salaries, and the secretary didn’t want to lose her job.

After the secretary spoke, two icy glances were directed at Natalie–one from Yuvan and the other from Natalie herself.

When Natalie looked at the secretary, her attention stayed on Yuvan through the corner of her eyes.

In the end, she didn’t say anything. She just stepped into the office.

Yuvan brought in coffee.

“Please enjoy,” he said, still respectful in tone.

However, Natalie could sense something else under it.

Raising an eyebrow, she called after Yuvan, who had turned around, “Wait.” “Is there something you need, Ms. Walker?” Ms. Walker?

He was the only one who didn’t address Natalie as Madam!

Natalie’s l*ps curved into a mocking smile. “I don’t recall ever offending you, have 1?” It wasn’t that she cared much about being addressed as Madam, but Yuvan’s attitude was annoying.

Yuvan’s expression changed subtly.

“You’re overthinking it,” he said, looking at Natalie.

“Oh?

t’s nothing.

what do you mean? Is it for Isabella or for Christina? Natalie’s tone sharpened:

an looked at her, his eyes showing no fear. There was even a hint of disdain as he looked at Natalie, Was this an open challenge?

Natalie stood up. She picked up her coffee and splashed it all over Yuvan’s face.

“Since you want to display such an attitude, I’ll give you a proper reason to hate me!” Yes, hate!

In Yuvan’s eyes, she could clearly see the hatred he had for her!

“Ms. Walker!” Yuvan hissed through gritted teeth.

Natalie said, “What? Not intense enough?” “You…” “Is it because of Isabella?” At this moment, Natalie finally understood. Even though Isabella wasn’t by Cedric’s side, there seemed to be quite a few people speaking up for her.

Yuvan’s face darkened, and a trace of dis.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 195-Unveiling the Truth Natalie said, “Whether I hide well or not is none of your concern! But you… It’s best if you try harder to hide it better!” Cedric was not someone to be trifled with. If he found out that his people had contacted Isabella without his orders, it would be a serious matter.

Yuvan’s expression changed at her words.

“Ms. Walker, don’t you think you’re too selfish?” he retorted. novelbin “Oh?” “She’s your sister. Don’t you think you’re being too harsh on her? Because of you, she’s had a tough time until now.” Natalie understood now.

The fact that her father’s inheritance was all left to her and was no longer a secret around Cedric. And Isabella was indeed good at playing the pitiful victim card.

“It seems a cup of coffee isn’t enough; get out!” “You…” “Get out!” Natalie didn’t want to continue looking at Yuvan. If he stayed, she was afraid she might lose control.

Ever since she learned about Isabella’s identity, she detested people saying that Isabella was her sister.

It was an insult to her!

She hated it.

Yuvan nodded. “Think about it carefully!” After saying this, he turned and left.

the door touched the doorknob, he seemed to remember something and turned back, “You’re now the high and mighty CEO of Sylvan Gems, and she’s a blind woman. You’re practically in the sky while F*** on the ground If you target her again, it’s a problem with your mindset forceful!

It was an attempt at indirectly telling Natalie that even though she was in a higher position now, her capacity to handle things still hadn’t improved!

Natalie smiled at his words, “Just for saying that, I will definitely expose her.” Yuvan’s face changed slightly.

Natalie had already started the process. Now, she just wanted to let Yuvan know so that he understood mentioning Isabelle in front of Natalie was a bad idea.

It didn’t matter if it was just a slight mention. Natalie disliked Isabella through and through.

Yuvan left. When he closed the door, there was some force behind it.

It was evident that he had no respect for Natalie at all.

Natalie closed her eyes. “Isabella… Hah!” This name had tom her life apart in her previous life. Now, in this life, so many people still liked her!

No, they pitied her!

Her current image in the eyes of those people was one of pity.

Natalie picked up her phone and called someone. The person on the other end was quick to answer.

“Yes, Ms. Walker.” *Keep a close eye on Yuvan,” Natalie ordered sharply over the phone.

How many people did Isabella have around her? Natalie wanted to know. She also wanted to know their role in the schemes against her.

“Yes, ma’am.” “Also… “Yest “What about the call records from that number?” Cedric was also investigating the kidnapper.

However, Natalie was focusing on Christina now.

an care of Ill bring it to you tomorrow.” “Also, it would be good if you could confirm the location of the calls!*

Even though it might be difficult to trace now, it was still possible to dig it up. Natalie believed that Christina’s number was likely used to contact the many people she used, which would provide the breakthrough Natalie needed for her evidence.

“Understood.” Natalie had considered this task challenging, but the man on the other end simply agreed to it almost without hesitation.

It was easy to see that Zane was a formidable presence at Stephen’s side. Having such a person around made things much more convenient for her.

After ending the call with Zane, her phone rang again.

She couldn’t deny that her current job made her very busy. When she had been with Cedric previously, she didn’t have much contact with anyone else. The only person she would contact was Bianca, Everyone else was irrelevant, like the Johnson family!

This time, it was a call from Irwin.

Natalie answered, “Hello” “Can you go to the eastern suburbs with me tomorrow? Bring the blueprints.” “Okay,” Natalie responded without much thought.

After all, it was a work–related matter, and she should go.

“Shall I pick you up tomorrow morning?” “Sure. Please pick me up at Sylvan Gems. The drawings are there.” Because there was a lot to handle at Sylvan Gems, Natalie habitually brought the studio work there to catch up whenever she had some free time.

The only things she handled personally were Irwin’s and Premier Garden’s matters. For the rest, she genuinely had no time to manage them.

jades, with Karina watching over the studio, there wouldn’t be any issues. Natalie felt particularly stasmred about this:

In the lounge, the situation was a bit off compared to how busy Natalie was with work. Cedric was fl*pping through the information Isaac handed him.

Just a moment ago, he had exploded in anger at Isaac, blaming him for Isabella’s current state.

However, Isaac calmly handed him the information Whoosh!

Cedric rapidly fl*pped through the contents, and everything became Smack!

clear.

Cedric slammed his hand on the glass table and demanded, “What does this mean? Tell me what this means?” His emotions were somewhat out of control, and his face was full of warning signals.

Compared to Cedric’s display of rage, Isaac remained calm.

He was acting so unlike himself. Isaac used to be the most cheerful one in their circle of friends, and Cedric noticed something off about him right now.

Where was the sunshine that used to grace his face? Instead, there was an endless chill, as if he had become a soulless person.

It was evident that something monumental had happened in Isaac’s world before this, something he couldn’t bear.

“What’s going on?” Cedric’s tone softened slightly at the sight of Isaac in this state.

Issac lowered his head. “That day, I received a call before the operation saying she had an accident!” The person in Isaac’s heart?

Hasn’t she been missing for many years?” Ceone’s heart grew cold at the mention of that woman.

Vad she leave Idaac?

arching for b And now this?

Isaac took out a cigarette, lit it, and took two frustrated puffs. Cedric’s eyes narrowed.

Isaac never smoked.

He glanced at the documents in his hand again; they were records of transactions.

Undoubtedly, it was that account again…!.

“She’s dead!” Isaac continued, his voice somewhat choked.

Upon hearing this, Cedric’s heart skipped a beat.

“What?” Dead?!

What?!

Isaac looked at him, his tone unusually calm and dangerously composed. “How do you think I should deal with her?” Her… He was referring to Natalie!

Isaac wanted to tear Natalie to pieces.

Yes, the evidence now pointed to Natalie!

“She has nothing to do with this!” Perhaps Cedric felt uncertain when he said those words, and it was clear how little confidence he had in Natalie.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 196-Don’t Force Me “Cedric, she’s dead! Do you understand?!” As Isaac finished speaking, he instantly erupted in anger.

This was the first time Cedric had seen Isaac this angry. His heart tightened at the sight.

He had to admit that an easy going person like Isaac was only that way because no one had crossed the line with him.” But now, things were different. The person he had been searching for all these years, the person he had never let go of… She was dead, and Isaac had gotten the news in the worst possible way.

There was a dangerous glint in Isaac’s eyes. There was no trace of the cheerfulness that usually lined his face.

There was only an endless coldness.

“Isaac, I know you’re upset, but I don’t know what to tell you right now!” There was a lot to be said about this matter right now. However, there was nothing Cedric could say until his investigation was complete.

The only thing he could do for now was to say nothing.

Isaac’s face hardened.

“Are you still protecting her?” Was he really going to this extent to protect that woman?

Cedric’s heart sank.

Before he could speak, Isaac continued, “Well, that’s how it is, huh? How important is she to you? Isabella is completely blind, and you haven’t done anything to her!” Cedric was silent, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He said in He said in a solemn tone, “I know this matter has hit you hard. Everything related to Natalie is still under Investigation.” What if it really was her?” Isaac shot back immediately.

That was right.

What if Natalie was really involved in this?

Cedric stiffened!

His heart was in chaos.

He had been sorting through everything related to Natalie during this time. But with Isaac throwing this curveball, things had become even more confusing.

“Cedric, Ivan gave up his own life to save you. His only sister was by your side, and this is the care she receives?” Cedric was silent.

Isaac’s words were sharp.

“Do you need to reevaluate how you handle your relationships? Or should we say that Natalie is too shameless? You need to wake up! She bribed someone to kidnap my woman and forced me to leave. Now, I even suspect that Isabella’s surgery failure was because she also bribed Dr. Landry!” Cedric gave Isaac a sharp look. His eyes were filled w Isaac a sharp look. His eyes were filled with rage, turning them a deep shade of red.

He firmly said, “I told you, many things are being sorted out right now!” Isaac hysterically shouted, “You believe her so much, yet what is she doing? She’s getting involved with Irwin! She’s such a selfish and vicious woman. Only you would treasure her so much!” Cedric’s world was already somewhat chaotic. Now, with Isaac shouting like this, it became even worse.

Despite that, he persisted in wanting to investigate on his own.

However, Isaac continued, “I’ve already reported it to the police!” “What?!” Cedric’s eyes flashed dangerously.

isaac had reported it to the police?!

“How could I forget? You used to be so merciful to her. If it weren’t for you, she would have died in prison marty times over, right?” Isaac declared.

isaach “She deserves to diel” The two men confronted each other. The once sunny Isaac now showed no signs of yielding in front of Cedric. It seemed as if no matter what was said, he was determined to take Natalie’s life.

The tranquil night in Verde City was completely torn apart by this confrontation.

In Cedric’s office, Natalie received a call from the relevant authorities.

Upon hearing the content of the call, her heart sank.

“I understand. I’ll come over immediately to cooperate with the investigation,” she replied calmly.

However, her heart was in turmoil.

She glanced at the office door, already guessing who Cedric was meeting with.

Somehow, she was now involved with Isaac’s matter?!

Taking a deep breath, she picked up her bag to leave. However, the office door opened at that moment.

Cedric stood at the doorway, and the air around him was cold. There was anger on his face when he looked at her.

“Isaac left,” Cedric spoke before Natalie could say anything.

Natalie nodded. “Alright.” “Did you do it?” Natalie remained silent. Looking at the uncertainty and suspicion in the man’s eyes, she smiled.

The man who had previously used strong measures to force her into remarriage seemed to have no idea what all of this meant in his heart.

In the past, Natalie would have at least tried to explain when faced with Cedric’s questioning. She would have tried to tell him it wasn’t her. She might even have resorted to hysterical shouting.

But now, Natalie did none of that.

She simply said, “Whether it’s me or not, the police will have their conclusion. I don’t think I need to explain anything to you.” “Or do you think you’re more authoritative than the police?” She remained calm, observing the anger in his eyes.

Cedric was completely infuriated by her calm demeanor.

“I just need one word. Did you or did you not do it?” His tone contained restraint, as if he was holding back the impulse to go forward and strangle her on the spot.

Natalie laughed.

That laughter was so piercing to Cedric’s ears.

“If you already know in your heart, why do you still need to ask me?” How many times had she said it wasn’t her in the past? Yet, he had never believed her.

He believed in Isabella. He believed in Christina.

He believed in everyone but her.

“Natalie!” “If you truly believed in me or understood me even a little, you wouldn’t be asking such a stupid question here!” The anger in Cedric’s eyes burned. He stepped foward and gripped her shoulder tightly.

“It seems Stephen has truly spoiled you.” “Yes, he’s the one who spoiled me!” “How pathetic is that, huh? I used to be your wife, but someone else had to pamper and indulge me. Isn’t that laughable?” It was not just pathetic, but laughable!novelbin And she was referring to Cedric. / Their eyes met, and there was a fierce look in both. Cedric wished he could tear Natalle apart!

never knew she had such a rebellioup spirit within her. Since meeting Stephen, she had gone entirely Cedric You better pray with you Cedric didn’t finish his sentence.

To put it bluntly, this matter had clearly been meticulously planned.

It had taken Isaac a long time abroad before he had managed to uncover it! And it had taken him a considerable amount of effort to do so.

He didn’t say it out loud, but Natalie understood the meaning behind his words.

“I’ve seen your ruthlessness; you don’t need to warn me deliberately.” Natalie pinched his hand tightly, and he slowly loosened his hold.

She was calm.

She was too calm!

Cedric simply stared at her as Natalie walked steadily toward the office door. When the door opened, she saw Yuvan and Queenie.

They exchanged a glance, both with a sense of satisfaction.

Natalie turned back to Cedric. Even at this moment, she remained arrogant.

*Just a reminder that you shouldn’t continue keeping Yuvan and Queenie around!”

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 197-Exposed Information After Natalie said that, Yuvan and Queenie’s expressions changed.

Cedric stood stiff in place. Then, the door was closed, shutting out the outside world.

However, it felt like there was a storm in his heart. He was unable to calm down for a long time. novelbin Natalie was truly extraordinary in her arrogancel Cedric closed his eyes, covering the conflicting emotions in his eyes.

Cedric didn’t want to think about it. If things were as what Isaac had uncovered, would Cedric end up killing Natalie with his own hands?

Isabella was Ivan’s sister.

Putting aside everything else at the moment, Isabella needed the best care.

And she was also Natalie’s sister.

If Natalie really was behind everything, she…!

Before, a voice in his heart had constantly told him not to blame her, no matter what Natalie was like.

Don’t let go of her hand. Accept her!

But now, that voice was completely covered by his anger and despair.

What if Natalie turned out to be that kind of person?

What would he do…?

Natalie left Radiant Tower and took a taxi to the police station. She stayed inside until midnight. She was repeatedly questioned about many things, and she answered each one.

During this time, Karina came, and her studio members also came. It was indeed a considerable impact on her this time. It involved human lives, so the inquiries had to be rigorous.

Karina asked Natalie if she wanted to call Stephen, and Natalle said she could handle it herself without disturbing him was a bit troublesome, but she had to be strong and not rely on her uncle for everything Meanwhile, Christina received the news at the Johnson Manor. A look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

“Yeah, I got it!” Natalie… hehe!

“Send out that information,” Christina said.

It was the information related to Natalie and Isabella that had been suppressed before because of Natalie’s identity.

If it had been released back then, there would have been little impact. At most, it would have stirred up public opinion about Isabella trying to get involved with Natalie because of their familial relationship.

But now, things were different. Isabella was blind, and Natalie was implicated in kidnapping the fiancee of the doctor who was supposed to perform the surgery on Isabella’s eyes.

Even those without brains would follow in the direction Christina wanted the discussion to go once they saw the information.

After hanging up the call, Christina went downstairs.

“Wandal” “Yes, Miss? Why haven’t you slept yet?” Wanda glanced at the time; it was already late.

For women, going to sleep before this time was beneficial for the skin. Christina had always turned in early because she was fond of beauty!

But now, she asked Wanda, “Help me cook a bowl of noodles. Also, make it spicy.” Wanda hesitated and said, “Isn’t it bad to eat something so spicy so late at night?” Christina simply glanced at her and said, “Go!” Christina was never patient with people who meddled too much. After being on the receiving end of such THE a look from Christina, Wanda swallowed her concern and hurried to the kitchen.

Christina felt really relaxed.

Inking back to when Natalle had challenged her, she felt a burst of satisfaction. People who went her never had a good ending!

On the other side, Natalie didn’t come out of the police station until dawn. Cedric was waiting outside and stood in front of the car door. Seeing the cigarette butts scattered on the ground, it was evident that he had been waiting here since last night.

It had been truly hard for him.

“Surprised to see me come out?” Natalie didn’t feel any appreciation for the man’s waiting. She only felt a sense of mockery toward the situation and the man waiting for her.

Cedric’s face darkened. Turning around to open the car door, he looked back at Natalie with clear meaning on his face.

Checking the time on her watch, Natalie said, “I’ve made an appointment with Irwin.” “Natalie, don’t force me.” “Between the two of us, who is really forcing whom?” Natalie sharply retorted.

Force him?

Did he even have the right to say those words?

Between them, who was really forcing whom?

In her previous life, he had forced her into the sea of fire! Thinking of that big fire, Natalie looked at the dangerous man before her.

But she felt no fear.

“Get in the car first,” Cedric said.

Natalie looked at him quietly. This kind of calmness and fearless appearance made Cedric angry.

Just as he was about to say something, his phone rang.

It was Yuvan He answered, “Hello, Johnson, we’ve found cornething on Dr. Landry That is ? Cedric asked After the call, Yuvan quickly sent a message on WhatsApp. Cedric opened it, and with just one glance, there was a chill in his heart.

At this point, he couldn’t believe that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with Natalie.

Lucas‘ investigation results had also come in at the same time as Yuvan’s.

Call records and call times were all at Scarlet Villa!

At that moment, a suffocating feeling surged in his chest.

“Natalie.” Natalie remained silent.

She didn’t know what Cedric had received on his phone. But looking at his expression, she could tell that the message was definitely related to her.

Cedric looked at her again. The coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze everything.

Natalie shrugged. “Can I go now?” She knew… Something had happened again.

And again, Cedric was standing on the side of Isabella and Christina.

Since the moment she woke up from the raging fire, she no longer cared about his trust.

Instead of saying she was disappointed in him, it was more accurate to say… it was the end of everything between them.

And she didn’t care.

“Go on Natalie nodded. Then, she turned and walked towards the side of the road.

Behind her, the man’s voice was icy cold as he said, “Your biggest reliance is Stephen, isn’t it?” Natalie halted. She turned back and hissed, “You better not touch him!” Don’t worry, I won’t touch him.

He wouldn’t touch him, but he would certainly break her wings led on Stephen, didn’t she? That was why she dared to do so many things!

Finel Finel Since Stephen had let her go this far, he would make Stephen’s protection completely disappear.

Natalie didn’t pay any more attention to Cedric. She turned around and walked away.

Her back looked firm and steady. Despite her small stature, it gave off a feeling of substantial strength.

Cedric’s eyes dimmed!

After getting into the car, Natalie went directly to the office. Irwin was already waiting for her.

Seeing her tired expression, he frowned. “Didn’t sleep well?

“It’s nothing. Let’s go!” Natalie shook her head and said.

Clearly, she didn’t plan on telling Irwin about last night. Last night’s events were not something to be proud of, and she didn’t want to bring personal matters into their work.

Seeing she didn’t want to talk about it, Irwin didn’t press further. He started the car and drove Natalie to the eastern suburbs.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 198-Chaos The comforting aura emanating from the man always unconsciously made Natalie feel at ease. At some point, she drifted into a deep sleep in the passenger seat.

Upon arriving at their destination, Irwin looked at Natalie’s peaceful sleeping face. Subconsciously, he traced the contours of her face. Her face was indeed small.

Just then, his phone vibrated. The notification sound from the headlines app prompted Irwin to take out his phone. As he turned off the silent mode, a storm flashed through his eyes as he saw the contents of the notification.

He glanced at the sleeping Natalie, got out of the car, and gently closed the door. He made a call behind the car. The call was quickly answered.

“Sir!” “I don’t want to see today’s news again,” Irwin said.

“Are you referring to Ms. Walker…‘ The person on the other end of the line hesitated for a moment, then realized.

Recently, Irwin and Natalie had been getting closer. When the close relationship between Natalie and him was exposed before, he hadn’t reacted this way.

So, was he protecting her now?

When he figured this out, the person on the other end of the phone didn’t dare to continue asking.

Instead, he hurriedly said, “I’ll handle it right away!” He hung up the phone. A cold gleam flashed in Irwin’s eyes. It seemed that the relationship between Cedric and Natalie was not as easily concluded.

He had seen Natalie’s attitude, but on Cedric’s side…!

Just after hanging up the call with his assistant, his phone rang again.

Irwin checked and… it turned out to be him?!

Iran’s l*ps curled into a smile. He answered, and Cedric’s voice came through before Irwin could speak Irwin’s tone was arrogant and blunt, lacking the gentleness he had in front of Natalie.

On the other end, Cedric huffed angrily before he continued, “Irwin, I don’t want any business dealings between us.” “Neither do 1.” “In that case, don’t interfere in the matters between Natalie and me!” Irwin remained silent.

At this, a chilly atmosphere filled the air.

“I haven’t settled the accounts with you for what happened abroad. And here you are, giving me a warning?” Irwin asked.

“You could say that.” “In that case, let e tell you today- interfere all I want in Natalie’s affairs!” Irwin showed no signs of yielding in the face of Cedric’s warning. The man could give all the warnings he wanted, but Irwin would remain steadfast in his stance.

“Will the Frazier family allow that?” Cedric sneered at Irwin’s words.

The Frazier family!

That was something Irwin least wanted to face. It was a family with distinct social classes, like a complex and tangled web that was difficult to unravel.

“Irwin, she’s my wife! Do you think the Frazier family will let you interfere in our affairs?” Cedric’s voice had a hint of warning in it.

“She’s no longer your wife. It seems you haven’t grasped that fact!” In that case. Cedric didn’t continue his sentence, but the implication was clear.

He had deliberately called Irwin because Cedric was considering the influence of the Frazier family.

However, Irwin was an independent man who stood at the pinnacle by his own strength.

How could he tolerate Cedric’s provocation?

Ower that although Cedric claimed Natalie as his wife, his attitude clearly reveali mud Irwin didn’t know what had happened between them, but he understood–Cedric was serious this time.

After ending the call, he returned to the car to see Natalie awake and looking at her phone. The headlines he saw still hadn’t been taken down, and Natalie had seen it!

Her complexion didn’t look good, and she was a little pale.

“Want some water?” He offered a bottle to Natalie.

Natalie’s chest heaved continuously. She accepted the water from Irwin with a brief “thank you.” She opened the bottle and gulped down half of it in one go, feeling the oppressive feeling in her chest slightly eased.

Verde City was in complete chaos. Everyone was in disarray. Rumors of her entanglement with Cedric and collusion with Irwin were spreading widely.

The news about Isabella being her sister also came out. The biased public opinion that had previously leaned towards her because of Isabella now seemed to be completely overturned.

She had become a wicked woman. The rumors suggested that she was unable to tolerate the relationship between her sister and Cedric, so she had bribed the doctor to make the surgery fail.

Now, the online rumors about her were overwhelming, with comments exceeding a hundred thousand in a short time.

Once again, she became the target of online harassment.

10 “Will you be okay?” Irwin took her phone from her hands, his tone gentle.

His consideration touched Natalie. She looked at Irwin, who didn’t ask anything but exuded a silent caring atmosphere. novelbin Thank you, I’m fine.” Because of his thoughtfulness, she couldn’t afford to let him down on his project.

Irwin nodded. He got out of the car and came to her side. When Natalle opened the car door, the man’s hand gallantly shielded her head, preventing her from hitting the top as she got out.

Tharks Natalie said and smiled at him.

NTHIA Was Uuly beautiful.

ost at her smile and felt that she exuded a strong sense of pride.

At this moment, when almost half of Verde City was attacking her, she could still focus on her work.

This alone indicated that she had nothing to hide!

If she had done something wrong or was timid, she wouldn’t be able to endure it.

Throughout the project inspection process, Natalie was completely focused on her work. She didn’t display a hint of any other emotions.

She didn’t know about Cedric’s phone call threatening Irwin and was unaware of what awaited her beyond.

public opinion.

At this moment, all she could do was overturn those accusations. No matter what Cedric did, she was ready to face it head–on.

Now, she and Cedric had truly reached the end of their fate.” There was no turning back for either of them.

There was no chance to look back, and Cedric had lost the right to do so.

The progress of the eastern suburbs and Dragon Park project was going well. Looking at the project she had taken from Cedric, Natalie found some comfort in this accomplishment.

“I must say, you’re a great designer,‘ Irwin said as he opened the car door for her after they were done with the site inspection.

Natalie smiled, “It wasn’t easy to snatch the project from him. So, I have to design the best for it! It’s a matter of pride.” She needed to fight for her pride!

Considering Cedric’s exceptional design department, her move also served as a message to the Johnson family and Cedric, It was her way of telling them she wasn’t useless, and leaving Cedric didn’t mean she couldn’t survive!.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 199-Schemes The public opinion in Verde City was still brewing. Right after the news about Isabella being Natalie’s sister broke out, what happened to Isaac’s fiancee was also leaked.

Then, Dr. Landry, who performed the surgery on Isabella, had his company with millions in registered capital revealed.

The whole city was speculating that Natalie had caused the death of Isaac’s fiancee, and she was also the one who had bribed Dr. Landry.

They claimed Natalie deliberately made her sister’s surgery fail.

The public opinion had both positive and negative sides!

Some said Isabella deserved it. They accused her of seducing her own sister’s husband. However, the majority blamed Natalie. They called her ruthless and accused her of harming her own sister.

Those who previously supported Natalie started to turn against her, claiming she was pretending and being hypocritical.

In short, there were various accusations against her on the internet “Enough. Stop looking at it!” Irwin said, taking her phone away while driving.

Natalie smiled at Irwin. “Are you worried about me?!

“Yes. How can you smile at a time like this?!” And she was smiling in such a relaxed manner too!

Natalie replied, “You’re the only one who still treats me this way amid all this public opinion.” Natalie knew that Irwin understood. In a city where everyone was calling her a ruthless woman, he could still treat her the same way.

For someone else, they might act all righteous and indignant in such a situation.

Arwin didn’t.

pointed to his head and said, “Um always online here.

sgain. Her laughter was as bright as the run offline most of the time Watching how she playfully cursed, Irwin’s gentle smile widened. The Natalie he knew was indeed different.

Despite her cheerful appearance, there was a hint of bitterness in her heart. After all, she had spent ten years with Cedric Yet, Irwin was unlike anyone else. He was only her business partner, but he trusted her.

“Natalie.” Irwin suddenly turned serious.

“What’s wrong?” Natalie asked.

“Do you really have no hope left for him?” “None!” Natalie shook her head without hesitation.

She said it resolutely.

Regarding Cedric… In her past life, she might not have given up hope. She couldn’t accept, even until the end!

But now.

she valued her life.

That man would lead her to her death.

“What about you now? Are you completely against him?” Irwin could see it now. He didn’t believe that this matter was unrelated to Cedric, despite the public opinion that his assistant couldn’t suppress.

Natalie looked out of the window with a distant gaze.

Im against the entire Johnson family!” The heavens had given her a chance to be reborn.

She didn’t get the chance just to become a pushover!

She wouldn’t let go of what they did to her in her past life.

And now.

Since the situation had reached this point again, she wasn’t just going to face it; she was going to fight emely At lunchtime, Natalie ate with Irwin. While the outside world was criticizing her intensely, she could still dine with Irwin in such a relaxed manner.

During the meal, Irwin received a call from the Frazier family. It was an obvious reminder, and he only said, “I know what I’m doing,” then hung up.

Natalie received a call from Stephen. She heard him say, “Verde City has turned into a mess, huh?” “Yeah.” “I gave you the position of Sylvan Gems‘ CEO not to be bullied, you know?” “Yes, I know I’m a little useless in this aspect.” She spent the night in custody due to the incident with Isaac’s fiancee.

When she came out today, such an earth–shattering incident had happened!

If she had to say, the previous ones were really incomparable to what had happened this morning.

Stephen asked, “So, how do you plan to handle this now?” Natalie lifted her glass of red wine and took a sin “I won’t bother.” That was her attitude. As the saying goes, to each their own.

However, Stephen disagreed.

apress “You are now the CEO of Sylvan Gems. I’ll get Karina to arrange conference. What do you think?” “What do you mean?” “Sever ties completely with Cedric. Nat, I believe you’re rationa enough not to be dragged down by someone like him.” “Yeah. I got it.

Dragged down by Cedric?

She hadn’t really thought about it. This call from her uncle served as a reminder.

Cedric surely had a hand in the earth–shaking events in Verde City today.

was truly ruthless!

and Christine’s sake, he went this far against her.

Today proved Cedric’s stance towards her clearly, and this… was exactly what Natalie wanted.

After ending the call with Stephen, Irwin had already cut the steak and considerately placed it in front of her.

“Eat up!” “Thank you.” “What did your uncle say?” “He said they’ve arranged a press conference.

“Well, it’s time to completely clarify your position. It’s not good to be constantly pestered.” Natalle was silent Constantly being pestered?

Yes, she was the one who had been constantly pestered and ultimately ended up being the vicious one.

She took a bite of steak.

Irwin asked, “Do you like the black pepper flavor?” “Yeah, I like it.” Natalie nodded. She wasn’t a fan of honey–flavored dishes.

Looking at Irwin, she speared a piece and handed it to him. “Want to try one?” It was an unconscious move.. novelbin Natalie stiffened for a moment when she realized what she had done. She was about to awkwardly retract her hand when Irwin grabbed her hand.

Then, he ate the offered piece.

Natalie instantly blushed.

I feel like I’ve been influenced by the public opinion.” No, it was Cedric’s insults that influenced her.

Cedric had always been insulting her, saying that she had a relationship with Irwin. Therefore, she started to develop a delusion fluence can give rise to such habits, it’s also good.

He was referring to those rumors and speculations about him, and this habit she had formed seemed to be quite pleasing.

it was like those rumors did a good deed.

“Don’t make jokes like that.” Natalie was a bit unused to it, especially when Irwin so earnestly and warmly said such things. She felt a bit lightheaded at his words.

But right now, she couldn’t afford to lose her composure!

No!

Irwin smiled. “You’ve been too heavily influenced by him.” He was referring to Cedric and how Natalie now had an instinctive fear of getting involved emotionally with any other men.

Of course, it was worse in Cedric’s case.

Natalie quietly ate her food, not wanting to discuss the topic of Cedric. Although she appeared calm in front of Irwin now, she couldn’t deny she was truly angered to the core today!.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 200-The Results At the Johnson Manor, Christina was in her room, looking at the online discussions on her phone. She could hear noises from downstairs as she did.

Obviously, Rebecca was throwing a tantrum.

A faint smile appeared on her l*ps. She changed into different clothes and went out. As she walked to the stairs, she saw Rebecca still on the phone.

“What’s going on now?‘ Rebecca asked angrily, not holding back her frustration. It was unclear what the person on the other end of the call had said.

Rebecca was already in a bad mood, and she was practically burning in anger now.

“Weren’t you getting along well with her before? What happened? Tell me, is it related to Isabella?” Christina could now discern that Rebecca was talking to Cedric on the phone.

Rebecca had genuinely disliked Natalie before this. However, since she found out about Natalie being the Regal Horizon International’s chairman’s niece and also his future successor, Rebecca had grown attached to her.

She genuinely hoped Natalie and Cedric would have a good relationship.

But now, before Natalie could let go of her grudges, Cedric had messed up again.

With a loud crash, Rebecca angrily slammed the phone down. The entire mansion’s staff were on edge, afraid to approach and be scolded.

Christina suppressed the joy on her face. She descended the stairs and appeared in front of Rebecca with a serious expression.

“Mom, I’ve seen it all. What exactly is going on?” She pretended to be concerned, but inside, she was thrilled. Natalie had looked down on her from such a high position. She even refused to give her a set of jewelry and had acted so arrogantly–Christina wished she could crush that haughty attitude.

cca’s emotions were turbulent.

Come with E “Sapphire!” Rebecca said angrily Christina’s eyes dimmed, but she didn’t say anything. Even though Isabella kept saying she had no feelings for Cedric, the truth was unclear.

She might hate everything that was related to Natalie, but emotions were a complex matter.

Who knew what might happen during this process?

Right now, Rebecca was free to express her displeasure!

Rebecca was a woman who prioritized her interests. She was also an intelligent woman.

Given the turmoil between Cedric and Natalie, she understood that if Cedric hadn’t allowed it, such overwhelming public opinion online wouldn’t have easily occurred.

She believed that all of this was related to Isabella.

Even though Ivan was the Johnson family’s benefactor, Rebecca wouldn’t tolerate any misbehavior from Isabella within the family.

After all, Rebecca was still alive and kicking! She wouldn’t allow these things to happen under her watch!

In the restaurant, Irwin intended to take Natalie back to Sylvan Gems after the meal.

However, her personal b*dyguard, Leon, arrived driving her car. It had been Stephen’s instructions!

As long as there was anything amiss with Natalie in Verde City, Leon would stick close to her.

“I’m leaving first,” Natalie said.

Alright, Irwin nodded, She turned to get into the car when Irwin called, “Natalie!” Yes? She looked back.

Swin asked, “Have you considered going abroad?” the magnitude of the current situation, Natalle was vulnerable to the Influence of Verde City’s ppinion. So, Irwin thought leaving the country might be the best option for har want me to run away from this?” Her relaxed demeanor made it difficult for anyone to see a hint of urgency or frustration. Irwin had Initially been worried, but seeing her like this made him feel somewhat relieved.

After a moment’s thought, he suggested, “What if I go with you?” “T–there’s no need for that, right?” Natalie’s current scandalous behavior had stirred up quite a controversy. If she appeared with Irwin at a press conference now, it might end up dragging him into the mess.

Irwin stepped forward and took her hand. Then, he ushered her into the car.

“Really, there’s no need!‘ Natalie said.

“Do you want to piss him off?” Irwin asked.

“Huh?” Piss Cedric off?

That was something she genuinely wanted.

“Hmm?” “But I don’t want to use you.” Natalie felt a bit embarrassed saying this.

Using a man to infuriate Cedric?

Natalie couldn’t stoop to such tasteless actions, so she genuinely hesitated.

Irwin chuckled.

“Well, don’t do it” His words held a certain meaning behind them. Natalie responded with a puzzled expression.

In the end, Natalie appeared at the press conference with Irwin despite being unaware of the full situation.

had arranged for most of the reporters, and they were also Stephen’s people. So, the questions rent too aggressive.

Walk the publia now accuses you of being ruthless due to dissatisfaction with your divorce. They bou tribed your sister’s surgeon, causing her to lose her eyesight. What’s your response?

Is that so?” “This is my family tree and the certificate to prove it.

Natalie presented a document proving she was an only child. This certificate was exclusive to families with only one child, and Natalie had it.

She responded respectfully and avoided any derogatory remarks about Isabella. She even refrained from calling Isabella an illegitimate child born from an affair in front of the reporters.

Natalie also displayed proof of receiving a growth fund from the school at the time, which bore her parent’s signatures.

“If Ms. Morgan is indeed your sister, how would you feel about it?” “Nothing, because I don’t have a sister.” As Natalie said this, a pained expression crossed her face. It was as if there was something she was reluctant to face.

“Ms. Walker!” “Can we move on, please? Natalie genuinely didn’t want to dwell on this question. Whenever she thought about her father’s affair that led to her mother’s death, she felt extreme aversion toward Isabella.

“Alright, let’s move on to the next question.”
