Ch. 221..230

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 221-Graceful Confrontation It was hard to imagine that this woman could remain so proud and upright despite all her malicious deeds.

She She even stood at the peak of life and flaunted her power and dominance.

Natalie stopped and turned around. There was a smirk that could kill on her l*ps.

“You’ve done so much just to make me beg, right? To see me submit to you!?” |

“Cedric, I can stand in the spotlight at the summit, and naturally, I can gracefully face the fall. So all your scheming to drag me into the mud won’t show you what you want!” Her words were calm, and she spoke like a queen. It felt as if she were elevated and untouchable.

Yet, the person orchestrating all of this was still lurking in the shadows.

Natalie walked away.

Her proud figure was something she had been born with. She wouldn’t let anyone suppress her and succeed!

After exiting Radiant Tower, Natalie called Stephen. Since something significant had happened, Stephen. would undoubtedly be aware of it.

However, he hadn’t called her.

The call automatically disconnected.

There was no response from Stephen’s end.

Natalie’s heart tightened.

She sat on the sidewalk, feeling lost. In her mind, flashes of the final scenes from her previous life kept reappearing. She even pondered on the meaning of her rebirth.

Though she had been full of pride before Cedric, deep down, alone, she had to admit her own misery.

It might not be as drastic as her previous life, where she had her vision taken away or burned alive in Scarlet Villa, 165 But now…!

Watching Cedric target her with the most ruthless and venomous methods, her heart tightened even more.

Escape…!

That was her most instinctive thought now. Cedric was too crazy. He wouldn’t believe it even with irrefutable evidence in front of him.

And his protection of Isabella has also reached a maniacal level!

To be retaliated against by such a madman undoubtedly made it feel like she was walking on a knife’s edge…!

She even started to wonder if staying in Verde City at this moment was burning her life away. Was it fundamentally contradicting the chance given to her by fate?

Perhaps the chance given to her by fate was to rid her world of Cedric.

But in an instant… Natalie dismissed all these thoughts. The chance she got was just a struggle against destiny.

Could she escape if she tried?

She couldn’t!

She had burdens to carry in Verde City, and she couldn’t simply leave just like that.

Natalie got into her car. She originally meant to go to Sylvan Gems but ended up at Apex Global.

She didn’t know why. In her extreme confusion, her hands steered her here. She then remembered she had to give Irwin an explanation!

The receptionist still greeted her respectfully. However, when she reached the CEO’s office, Dylan’s expression changed upon seeing her.

He quickly intercepted her and said, “Ms. Walker, things aren’t looking good right now. It’s better if you don’t see him!” “That wasn’t my blueprint!” “Saying these things now is pointless. Mr. Frazier doesn’t want to hear them,” Dylan said.

275 This sentence plunged Natalie’s heart into the abyss.

Irwin wouldn’t want to hear it?

She didn’t blame him!

A huge accident had happened in the eastern suburbs, and the only relative he was close to in the Frazier family had already.

All because of that project!

At this moment, Natalie also realized that Irwin probably wouldn’t want to see her.

Natalie looked at Dylan. He was probably the only person who could speak for her in front of Irwin now.

“Then, I won’t go in to see him.” “Alright,” Dylan nodded.

He knew Natalie’s temper and genuinely feared that if she got angry, she might force her way in, which wouldn’t be good for her.

But Natalie couldn’t help asking “How is he doing now?

“Not very well! He’s been single–mindedly focused on work! But the project in the eastern suburbs is his taboo now!” The implication was that, regardless of the situation in the eastern suburbs, no one dared to mention it in front of Irwin.

Natalie’s face turned pale.

“In that case, can you tell him something for me if you get the chance?” “…Alright!” Dylan dared not promise her, but he also knew it wasn’t easy to pacify this lady.

Natalie said, “I compared the blueprints brought back from the scene with my own. It’s clear that someone swapped the ones brought back!” “…What?” When Natalie mentioned that the blueprints had been swapped, Dylan couldn’t react.

He considered the project in the eastern suburbs, now at Apex Global, as a topic that couldn’t even be דיו “Let’s talk over here.” Dylan glanced around and led Natalle to a meeting room, In the meeting room, Natalie explained the matter with the blueprints. As soon as the incident came to light, she quickly conducted an inspection!

Too impatient to wait for an official examination, she had her people go to the scene to get the relevant construction drawings and compare them, confirming that the blueprints had indeed been swapped.

The identity of the culprit who swapped the blueprints wasn’t hard to guess.

Dylan listened with his heart pounding. His expression became solemn.

“Wait for me here for a moment.” ingroom.

After saying that, he left the meeting room.

Natalie knew Dylan was going to see Irwin.

As Dylan had said….

If this issue was a problem with her blueprints, then all the connections between her and Irwin would cease since Stella was involved.

After a few minutes, Dylan returned. Natalie approached him and asked, “How did it go? Is Irwin willing to see me?” Natalie thought Irwin was a very rational person who could achieve calm analysis in the face of any situation, So, she didn’t doubt he would do the same in this situation But she was wrong.

Irwin could be rational at any time, but not when it came to the only relative, Stella.

Stella, the sister left to him by his mother–the most important person to him in the Frazier family.

Natalie looked at Dylan with hope, but Dylan shook his head and said, “Mr. Frazier has stated that, regardless of the outcome, the relevant departments will investigate!” The hope that had ignited in Natalie was completely extinguished at this moment.

So… Irwin didn’t believe her now?

She closed her eyes, her breath somewhat unsteady, “I have no grievances with him. I wouldn’t hurt him, “Ms. Walker, at this point, Mr. Frazier doesn’t even want to mention the eastern suburbs project!” The issue lied there.

Whenever the eastern suburbs project was brought up, Irwin completely lost his rationality!

While that may be the case, Natalle couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

“You should go back for now, alright?” “Yeah.” Natalie wanted to see Irwin, but here with Irwin, she couldn’t handle things the way she did with Cedric. Even though she didn’t design the blueprint… Stella really died because of her!.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 222-Who’s In Trouble Natalie didn’t know how she managed to leave Apex Global. Sitting in the car, she felt like a lost child.

Just then, her phone vibrated.

She picked it up and noted it was an internal call from Auro Studio. Honestly, whenever she saw calls from the internal line or from people like Zane and Karina, she couldn’t help but tense.

That was because they constantly reminded her of the dilemma she was facing.

Even though this was her second change at life, in the face of such a situation, she… felt lost!

Answering the call, she said, “Hello!” “Can you come to the studio now?” Karina’s voice sounded urgent, making Natalie’s heart jump to her throat.

“What’s going on?” “It’s the Premier Garden project!” Premier Garden Corporation?

The project with Caleb Spencer?

“What happened?” “They need the designs urgently. You know how it is now, all our designers are…” Karina trailed off.

Natalie understood. If Premier Garden Corporation needed it, Natalie had to handle it personally.

In this short time, many good designers had left the studio, and the remaining interns were not enough to support such a large project.

“I got it,” N “I got it,” Natalie said.

She hung up the phone. The traffic/outside seemed chaotic, but the moment she closed her eyes and reopened them, clarity enveloped her.

She was Natalie Walker!

Yes, Natalie Walker!

She was a woman who was given a second change in life. Now, Cedric was determined to completely.

crush her for Isabella and watch her beg in misery.

That was all the more reason she couldn’t afford to fall.

Starting the car, she drove in the direction of Premier Garden Corporation.

When she arrived at Premier Garden Corporation, she saw Caleb’s tall figure coming out of the magnificent office building, followed by the consistently cold and stone–faced assistant.

Natalie jogged up. “Mr. Spencer!” The man heard her voice. He halted and looked in her direction.

“You shouldn’t be here at this time, should you?” Caleb said, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of his eyes as he observed her catching her breath.

It was rare to s see someone smiling at her these days As for her, she couldn’t even muster up a smile in response anymore.

She simply said, “Are you busy now? I’d like to delay you for a few minutes regarding the project.” “Let’s go.” Caleb nodded and turned to walk back.

Natalie kept up!

the man’s strides.

In the office, the secretary poured Natalie a glass of water. Natalie took a sip, then downed half the cup.

Whenever her inner turmoil surfaced, she liked to drink water. It seemed that only in those moments could she temporarily alleviate the pressure on her heart.

Now, the man sat across from her with crossed arms.

“Terminate the collaboration?” Caleb’s tone was somewhat serious.

Natalie put down the cup and nodded. “You’ve seen the public opinion outside. Now, whoever associates.

with me is in trouble.” Hadn’t that shown with Irwin?

Many clients had reached out to terminate their collaborations with Auro Studios, and Natalie didn’t try to hold on at all.

She knew that Cedric was now standing on the opposite side. He practically wanted to kill her, and Irwin was implicated because of her.

2/5 She didn’t want Premier Garden Corporation to be the same!

“Are you suggesting that your designs were the cause of the problem at the eastern suburbs site?” Caleb said sharply, and there was a vague undertone in his words.

Natalie shook her head. “No.” “No?” “No. It wasn’t a problem with my designs.” “Then, was there a problem with the materials for Sylvan Gems? Did you use your authority for personal gain?” The man seemed to be interrogating her, but there was an obvious element of disbelief.

Natalie looked at Caleb and asked, “Are you asking me to… explain?” He shrugged. “Not really.” “But I want to hear it personally from you. Did you, or did you not?” he insisted.

Natalie asked, “If I tell you, will you believe me?” Would he?

There weren’t many people around her who believed her now! Except for Bianca, who wasn’t involved in Natalie’s line of work, others wouldn’t believe her.

Cedric, who should believe in her the most, didn’t.

What more to say about others?

Yet, Caleb…!

At this moment, he unexpectedly said just one word, “Yes!” Natalie was speechless.

It was just one word, but it made her feel like tears were rushing to her eyes. However, she forcefully suppressed them!

“You can cry. You have the right to cry!” The man’s sharp gaze seemed to penetrate her.

However, Natalie didn’t cry. She had always been strong! Given a second chance at life by fate, It wasn’t “Don’t blame Irwin either,” Caleb said as he reached out for his coffee. The moment he stirred it with a spoon, the rich aroma filled the air, dissipating a bit of exhaustion, Without waiting f Without waiting for Natalie to speak, Caleb continued, “After all, Stella is a significant existence to him!” “You probably don’t understand his situation in the Frazier family. Stella was the one who brought him home, you know?” At those words, Natalie’s heart tightened.

The Frazier family was a large family. The patriarch had several wives, and Irwin’s mother always lived outside because she wasn’t well–liked.

Due to his mother’s unpleasant nature, Irwin’s position in the Frazier family was awkward. He had spent a e to h considerable amount of time living outside with his mother.

Natalie knew all of this.

What she hadn’t expected was that Irwin was finally able to return to the Frazier family because of Stella. Natalie speculated that Stella had played a significant role in helping Irwin gain control over the Frazier family.

In the Frazier family, Stella was his only warmth. She was a sister unlike any other to him.

“Thank you.” Natalie didn’t know what else to say at this moment, so she expressed her gratitude to Caleb.

With this, she understood even more that regardless of whether the blueprints were her design or not, things between her and Irwin….

“Irv has always been rational. Give him some time.” Caleb said this as if there was something between.

Natalie and Irwin.

In the past, Natalie might have argued against such words.

But now, she didn’t.

“Well, I guess our collaboration is settled, right?

“I get that you’re tied up with what’s happening in Sylvan Gems and the eastern suburbs project, but… Natalie, are you afraid of Cedric now?” Afraid?

4/5 What a joke!

“No!” “You have too much pride, you know? It makes people want to soften it.” Caleb said mysteriously.

Natalie looked at him.

Caleb continued, “I didn’t expect you to come here to terminate our contract.” “You…” “Ask yourself. Who else in Verde City can help you now?” Natalie was silent.

Who?

No one!

Cedric was relentlessly attacking her like a madman, and even her uncle… As Cedric said, he wouldn’t touch her uncle’s side.

But orchestrating the crazy act of deceiving the Chairman of Regal Horizons International, and even involving DNA, was a ruthless way to cut off her relationship with Stephen.

As he said, it was to sever her reliance.

“Irwin is definitely too preoccup.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 223-Where Are Your Moral Limits?

After exiting Premier Garden Corporation, Natalie went directly to Radiant Tower.

Yuvan… had already been admitted to the hospital. So, when people saw Natalie in her frosty demeanor, they avoided her and dared not approach her.

Undaunted, Queenie intercepted her.

Slap!

Before she could say anything, Natalie slapped her, sending her into the corner.

Such explosive temper indicated that anyone approaching her now would face a similar fate.

Queenie was somewhat dazed from the slap. She angrily got up and screamed, “Natalie, stop right there!” Bang!

Natalie forcefully pushed a chair in her path, kicked open the office door, and entered with even more fiery rage than when she arrived.

Cedric’s office was currently holding a high–level meeting. The loud noise drew everyone’s attention.

When Cedric saw her again, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

He glanced at his wristwatch and said, “You’re all dismissed.” “Yes, sir!” Everyone stood up and quickly left.

Natalie entered the office and slammed the door shut with a loud crash.

She was furious.

After hearing Caleb talk about the importance of Stella to Irwin and realizing that the eastern suburbs project was Cedric’s scheme, she approached the man.

Her petite figure exuded an oppressive aura.

Her small hand viciously grasped the man’s collar.

“Cedric, don’t you think you’ve crossed the moral limits with your actions?” Heh, do you have the right to talk about morality with me?” The man looked at her with cold mockery in his eyes.

Natalie tightened her grip.

Suddenly, she felt a strong urge to just strangle this man to death and get it over with.

“You knew how important Stella was to him, didn’t you?” In her heart, a voice told her that Cedric had done everything intentionally!

He knew everything, the significance of Stella to Irwin, and he made sure something happened to Stella as he desired.

She still couldn’t meet Irwin in person.

“He confidently said that he would interfere in your affairs. But what’s this? Seems like you can’t even see him in person now, huh?” Slap!

Natalie slapped Cedric across the face.

It was him!!

He was the one behind the trouble in the eastern suburbs project!

He was also behind what had happened in Sylvan Gems!

Everything was him!

“If you have any issues, come at me! Why involve my business partners?” “He’s not just an ordinary business partner to you! He’s the one you were supposed to accompany back to Simeria for the New Year. Natalie, do you think I’m a fool?” Clang!

As she finished speaking, Natalie, fueled by anger, grabbed a water cup from the desk and threw it at Cedric.

The water in the cup spilled all over Cedric, leaving him in a sorry state.

Natalie didn’t want to hate him!

In her eyes, hating this man meant there was a connection between them.

But now, for Stella, for Irwin… she hated himl She hated that this man indiscriminately Implicated innocent people.

715 As he wished, any relationship between her and Irwin was now gone. And the connection between him and her… had also ended, but with an added layer of Natalie’s hatred.

The man casually wiped the water off his b*dy. He stood up and stared at her coldly.

“Your uncle hasn’t done anything yet. It seems he doesn’t quite believe the DNA report.

“Why would he believe? When I was abroad, we went to get a DNA test together!” novelbin “Don’t worry, whether he believes it or not doesn’t matter, Cedric said with cold indifference.

He was talking to Natalie at this moment like he was facing a complete stranger or even an enemy.

Natalie asked, “What else do you want?” “Natalie, as I said, you’ll pay the price for your actions. Your biggest reliance is Stephen,” “I wonder how does it feel to be crushed by him? He’s not someone easy to deal with. He has interfered with many of my overseas projects.” Natalie looked at Cedric’s expression, never feeling so hysterical before.

Slap!!

She rushed forward and slapped the man across the face. She wished she could just kill Cedric and end everything now in the most direct and simple way!

The man pushed her away. Her petite figure couldn’t withstand Cedric’s strength and crashed into the office desk.

The pain in her lower back made her instantly regain her composure.

“Cedric, you’re not human!” “Stephen will soon crush you, hmm?” The man said in a sinister tone, Natalie stared at him, seething with hatred. Even in her current predicament, she still had no intention of submitting to this man.

“Cedric, you better let me get ahold of your weakness. Otherwise… don’t expect me to give up easily!” “Also, do you think everyone is as foolish as you? I’m afraid my uncle will disappoint you!” After saying this, Natalie turned around.

Her proud figure made people wish to crush and trample her in the mud. He had once cherished her so much despite her arrogance.

Yet now…!

Natalie left Radiant Tower, Pain radiated from her lower back and abdomen. It hurt so much that she felt a suffocating sensation. She was sweating coldly as she sat in the car.

Just then, Bianca called her. Natalie answered instantly.

“Bia!” “Nat, how are you now?” Bianca’s concerned voice came from the phone, accompanied by a sense of urgency. Every time something happened to her, Bianca was undoubtedly the most anxious.

Natalie gritted her teeth against the pain in her abdomen. “Don’t worry, I can handle it.” “You don’t need to pretend in front of me.” Natalie replied, “Yes, my esteemed lawyer, who can deceive you?” Bianca was a lawyer, a divorce lawyer, to be precise. As she was in the field of law, Bianca was most aware of the troubles Natalie was caught up in now. 1 If these two major things she has committed were confirmed, what awaited her would be prison time!

The severity of the situation could be deduced from Natalie’s inability to leave Verde City.

“By the way, I need to tell you something.” “What is it?” “It’s about your cousin, Winona.” As soon as Natalie heard Winona’s name, her heart skipped a beat once again.

“What happened to her?” With Cedric targeting her everywhere now, many things were beyond her guard. The man was capable of anything.

But at the same time, Natalie comforted herself, believing Cedric shouldn’t reach into Simeria.

However, Bianca’s words made her heart clenched tightly.

“Your sister’s boyfriend is in trouble.” “What?” “We don’t know the details yet.” Natalie was silent. Her mind was lank.

“This… I haven’t heard anything about this!” “Your uncle is going crazy today, and Winona is is completely out of control.” Natalie was speechless.

It was no wonder her uncle didn’t answer the phone; it turned out there was such a big issue!

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 224-Something’s Wrong with Me Cedric… Cedric…!

At this moment, Natalie kept repeating this name in her mind.

That was the man from her previous life who had cost her everything.

In this life, was she so powerless that she could do nothing as he turned her world upside down?!

“Nat? Nat, are you okay?” Bianca’s voice on the phone became increasingly worried as Natalie remained silent.

Especially now since she saw Stephen hovering over Winona so much. Winona wasn’t in a good situation right now.

Natalie’s condition was not good either.

Sweat kept dripping from her forehead, and a warm sensation beneath her suggested something was not right. She took a deep breath and quickly said to Bianca, “I’m okay, don’t worry. I’ll hang up for now.” Without waiting for Bianca to respond, Natalie hung up the phone.

A stabbing pain emanated from her lower abdomen.

She hadn’t expected that the impact in Cedric’s office a while ago would cause such intense pain. She suspected she had hit something Trembling, she dialed Karina’s number.

The call was quickly answered, and Karina sounded urgent, “Ms. Walker!” Karina had been working late at Auro Studio these days, indicating the significant impact of the East Suburb project on the studio.

“Karina, come out right away!” s wrong?

“Something’s wrong with me,” Natalie said with a trembling voice.

It was as if she had used up all her strength to say those words. Once she finished speaking, she lost consciousness.

The phone sl*pped out of her grasp and onto the car floor.

On the other end, Karina sensed that something was wrong. “Ms. Walker? Ms. Walker!” Her tone became more urgent.

Then, footsteps were heard on the other end!

Meanwhile, Irwin sat on the office sofa at Apex Global. His clothes were slightly disheveled.

Sitting opposite him was Jonathan Frazier, his father. Despite his age, the old man possessed annovelbin imposing presence.

“You need to leave the country immediately,” Jonathan closed his eyes and said with authority.

Irwin gave him a sharp look!

When these two were together, to call them father and son…!

They looked more like enemies than strangers, and their relationship seemed even worse than that of complete strangers.

“Irwin, I’m deeply saddened by Stella’s situation. I don’t want anything to happen to you at this critical juncture,” Jonathan said.

Seeing the hatred hidden within Irwin’s eyes at the mention of Stella, Jonathan’s words were tinged with exasperation as he gazed at his son.

The situation in the eastern suburb had become too significant. Everything pointed to the blueprints, which made Natalie undoubtedly involved.

However, Irwin was also the legal representative, which meant he would also bear certain responsibilities.

“I’m well aware.” Jonathan’s slightly softened tone received only a brief acknowledgment from Irwin.

As the words fell, the atmosphere in the office suddenly chilled. The softness In Jonathan’s eyes turned into sternness.

“It’s not up to you!” Having said that, he rose from his seat. The air around him was cold.

After looking at Irwin, who was deeply inhaling the smoke, he said, “I know you can crush the Johnson family.” “How do you think it would sound, huh? To do so for a woman that Cedric doesn’t want?” Jonathan’s every word was sharp, revealing his dissatisfaction with Natalie. From the beginning, when Irwin and Natalie became too close, he didn’t allow it.

Even though that woman had some ability, she needed Cedric’s permission to do anything w with it!

So what if she had an uncle?!

This was Verde City!

“You don’t need to concern yourself,” Irwin stood up. He flicked the cigarette butt into the ashtray and casually picked up his coat from the sofa, ready to leave.

But just as he took two steps, Jonathan angrily rebuked from behind him, “Irwin! The Johnson family is not as simple as you see them!” Irwin remained silent.

“How many playboys are there among the elite families? Cedric has been with that woman for ten years.

Do you think you can intervene in their relationship?” “Right now, they seem to be in a predicament, but a wild beast always finds a way to break free. Do you understand?” Bang!

The furious slamming of the door was Irwin’s response.

Jonathan closed his eyes as he looked at the tightly closed office door. When he opened them again, there was a sharp glint in his eyes.

“Lenny!” “Yes, sir!” Lenny, who had been standing respectfully by the French window, approached.

Jonathan said, “Did you see?” “Yes, sir!” “He can’t stay in the country right now.” “Understood!” Lenny nodded.

Although the Frazier family’s reputation was not the best, Natalie was still a divorce.

Jonathan was strict about certain things! Every wife he had taken was pure and clean when he married them.

and Stephen Natalie had significant career accomplishments, was her uncle. Those reasons could barely allow the Frazier family to accept her, but Jonathan was different from Rebecca.

After all, Natalie completely followed in Cedric’s footsteps. They caused so much commotion, and they were so shameless!

Both of them were immature and childish!

Outside, rumors spread that Natalie was not Stephen’s niece. There were even documents exposed to confirm it.

However, neither Natalie nor Stephen responded to these allegations.

Even the public relations team from Regal Horizons International remained silent.

In Radiant Tower, Cedric observed Stephen’s movements.

The older man would have undoubtedly already realized what had happened. Something had even happened with Winona.

Cedric originally thought Stephen would immediately tear Natalie apart, but unexpectedly, Stephen was currently by Winona’s side with no response whatsoever.

“What does he have in mind regarding Natalie’s situation?” Cedric asked with a sharp tone.

Yuvan shook his head, “Nothing.” Nothing?

A cold gleam appeared in his eyes.

Stephen was truly unfathomable. Was it possible that there was something more complicated between him and Natalie? Was the so–called niece identity just a cover? Did they guess right from the beginning?

Bang!

His fist slammed onto the desk, instantly cracking it.

Yuvan was silent.

Looking at Cedric, who exuded a chilling aura, Yuvan’s eyes also darkened.

to He then said, “Ms. Morgan called just now and said to join her for dinner tonight.” Isabella!

when ask was mentioned, the chill in Cedric’s eyes intensified. This coldness was clearly directed at Natalie– everything had happened because

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 225-In the hospital room, the scent of disinfectant filled the air as Natalie regained consciousness.

Karina was by her side, holding a laptop with several files scattered on a small table, indicating how busy she had been.

“Why didn’t you get someone from Elegance Bay to stay with me instead?” Natalie asked with a hint of quilt as she observed how busy Karina was.

Upon hearing this, Karina looked towards her. As soon as she saw Natalie waking up, she immediately set aside her laptop and files.

“You’re awake! How do you feel?” “My stomach still hurts a bit, Natalie replied..

“I’ll call the doctor right away,” Karina said, rushing out of the room.

HIS Natalie wasn’t sure where she had hit herself that caused such intense pain. Soon after, Karina returned with a doctor and two nurses “Hello, Ms. Walker,” the doctor greeted, recognizing Natalie, as she had become a topic of discussion in Verde City recently.

“What’s wrong with me?” Natalie couldn’t see her own pale face or bloodless l*ps. When she spoke, her lower abdomen ached.

The doctor got straight to the point and said, “You’re pregnant.” Natalie’s mind went blank with that revelation. She tried to say something, but words failed her at this moment. She just stared blankly at the doctor, unable to react for quite some time.

While the doctor continued to speak, she couldn’t hear anything. On the other hand, Karina diligently noted down the doctor’s instructions.

After the doctor left, Karina and Natalie were the only ones left in the room. It took a long time for Natalie to regain her senses..

She looked at Karina and asked, “Pregnant?” When she spoke, her voice trembled.

1/5 Karina nodded. “Yes.” “Don’t worry, I’ve instructed them not to leak any information, I even had the doctor sign a confidentiality agreement.” Karina didn’t know Natalie’s intentions, especially with the current strained relationship between her and Cedric. As a member of Stephen’s team, she handled everything meticulously and systematically as she had been trained to.

Bay to Natalie also understood why Karina was guarding her here and didn’t get someone from Elegance Bay to come.

In this situation, the fewer people who knew, the better.

“Thank you.” Natalie’s mind continued to buzz, and the world remained blank.

Closing her eyes momentarily, she tried to conceal the pain in her eyes.

Cedric…!

“Karima!” “Yes?‘ “Arrange for the hospital to schedule the surgery for me,” Natalie spoke without hesitation.

At this moment, she had no room for any hesitation.

In her previous life, she foolishly took so many kinds of medicine for that man. And what was the result?

Despite finally conceiving, she and the child ended up perishing in a sea of flames.

In this life…!

The animosity between them was irreconcilable, and the arrival of this child wouldn’t bring happiness but would only make things more tragic than her previous life.

She knew what kind of place the Johnson family was, and she had seen all their hypocritical faces!

Karina’s expression changed slightly, clearly not expecting Natalie to be so resolute In this matter.

“Are you sure you’ve thought it through?” Karina asked.

“There’s nothing to think about.” Natalie closed her eyes. At this moment, she felt pain all over her b*dy. It was the kind of burning sensation one would experience when engulfed in flames..

Even someone who had suffered a scalding burn with hot water would understand that feeling!

She… had been burned to ashes in a raging fire.

Every inch of Every inch of her wounds brought excruciating pain. It was a heartbreaking agony that accompanied her final moments of consciousness.

She didn’t want any connection with Cedric, The unexpected arrival of this child… Although this decision was cruel, she couldn’t bear the thought of the child’s fate!

She couldn’t bear to see the child suffering before her eyes while she was helpless to do anything.

Given her current situation, whether it was Sylvan Gems or the project in the eastern suburbs, she won’t be able to easily extricate herself.

Leaving Verde City, especially with the child, was also not possible.

In such circumstances…!

Without thinking, she knew the kind of challenges the arrival of this child would bring.

She wouldn’t be able to bear it!

“Should we inform Mr. Jarvis first?” Karina suggested, noticing Natalie’s distress.

She was worried that Natalie might regret her decision after overcoming the current difficulties.

Thinking of Stephen, Natalie smiled bitterly.

“Don’t tell my uncle for now, okay?” Stephen was currently infuriated over Winona’s situation. Natalie didn’t want to bother him with her and Cedric’s affairs.

Besides, she knew that so far, whether it was Sylvan Gems or the project in the eastern suburbs, nothing had directly affected her.

This was largely due to her uncle’s significant role. novelbin So far, the investigations had been meticulous. However, she was aware that Cedric’s actions would “Karina.” “Yes?

“Between Cedric and me, there’s absolutely no possibility. Do you understand?” Karina knew! From the hysterics happening between them now, it was clear that a reconciliation was practically impossible.

Natalie continued, “If a mother can’t provide a child with a complete family but instead lets them face all kinds of strange gazes in this world… rather than letting the child grow up in an unhealthy environment, it’s better… not to bring them into this world!” As Natalie spoke these words, her tone was filled with pain.

The child…!

Once the child truly arrived in this world, there would always be a connection between them no matter how far things went between her and Cedric, And she didn’t want to… Furthermore, she didn’t want to compromise anything for the child in the future.

Between her and Cedric, it felt like they had entered a state of despair. This kind of crisis wouldn’t change because of a child.

Thus, the one who would endure the pain of their separation was the child!

The one who would suffer the most in an unhealthy family was also the child!

“Alright, I understand,” Karina nodded.

When she saw Natalie decisively opt for the surgery just now, she thought Natalie was ruthless. However, after understanding her concerns, she realized Natalie’s helplessness and the deep resentment toward Cedric in her heart.

Such a resentment… It was already Impossible for the two of them to get back together, and harboring such resentment would indeed be harmful to the child!

Natalie wouldn’t be able to provide a healthy life to the child.

In that case, it would be better not to bring the child into the world.

15 If she did, it would only hurt the child.

“I’ll arrange everything” Natalie nodded. When Karina left the room, the smell of disinfectant almost made her lose all awareness.

She placed her hand gently on involved with Cedric ag her abdomen. After waking up to her second chance in life and getting involved with Cedric again, this was the first time she felt heartache.

Her heart ached for this child.

“I’m truly sorry,” she murmured softly, gently caressing her abdomen.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 226-Taking Care of You Forever Once, Natalie had eagerly anticipated having a child. She had longed to give Cedric a child.

But now…!

Her determination was resolute!

She wasn’t a qualified mother, and this situation made her see Cedric’s madness completely!

In the face of that man’s madness, she had no confidence in protecting this child.

At Scarlet Villa, Isabella and Cedric sat at the dinner table. Cedric was currently on a call.

He was heard saying on the phone, Stephen can’t attend to her right now!” “Yes, everything has been arranged!” After finishing the call, he hung up.

When Isabella heard Cedric mention Stephen, she knew that the call was about Natalie.

Despite feeling some relief, there was also tension within her. She had to admit that Cedric was truly ruthless!

This level of ruthlessness completely disregarded the ten years he had with Natalie.

The situation would be irreversible no matter who got involved in such ruthlessness.

She picked up a cup and drank half the glass of juice, allowing herself a moment to calm down.

“Don’t drink so much juice, or you won’t be able to eat!” The man’s tone was gentle, devoid of the cold.

sternness from the previous phone call.

Isabella put down the cup, trying to conceal her emotions on her face.

She picked up the utensils. As the servant behind her reached out to help, she said, “I’ll do it myself!” “Let them take care of you.” Cedric’s eyes dimmed slightly. However, when he spoke to Isabella, his tone remained gentle.

A faint smile appeared on Isabella’s l*ps. Such a smile was like that of an angel, pure and heartwarming.

No one would want to harm her, Cedric thought. novelbin How could Natalie bear to?

Isabella said, “I have to live my whole life in the darkness. I still have to learn to be independent!” This statement was even more heart–wrenching.

Cedric felt a pang in his chest.

“I know you’re with me now, Ced. But I still have to learn to care for myself when you’re not around, right? I can’t let myself be miserable in the darkness, you know?” She said it calmly and gently. It made people feel like she was sad rather than the hysteria she had shown when talking about Natalie earlier.

Cedric picked up his red wine and took a sip, feeling a bit suffocated in his chest. For some reason, Isabella’s state made his heart ache.

But it was only a fleeting moment in his chest.

What he thought of more was… Natalie!

Thinking of that woman, a sharp and ruthless glint appeared in his eyes.

When he spoke again, his tone remained gentle, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you for a lifetime!” *

A lifetime?

At the mention of these words, Isabella’s heart tightened.

To be honest, when she initially approached Cedric, her goal was simply to bring down Natalie. She wanted to see Natalie fall from grace and into the mud below!

She hated Natalie, but she had never thought of taking over everything from her. She hadn’t even.

considered possessing Natalie’s man.

But now…!

Feeling the man’s warmth in the complete darkness made an uncontrollable longing grow in her heart.

It felt like being with Cedric wouldn’t be so bad. She had never thought about it before, but now, Isabella harbored a covetous desire for possession!

She never thought of letting Natalie die, but… what about letting her live to see Isabella and Cedric together? a Wouldn’t that be uncomfortable for her?!

That woman once had everything that should have belonged to Isabella. She lived a carefree life that Isabelle should have had!

But was falling from the position of Mrs. Johnson enough?

What about Cedric?!

When he uttered the words ‘a lifetime, his heart felt even more suffocated!

When did it start?!

The ‘lifetime‘ he once promised belonged to her!

Back then, they had pledged a lifetime to each other. Who would have thought that in a short ten years, they would come to this point?!

“A lifetime is too heavy. It may seem fine now, but I’m blind! I’m disabled, and I will burden you!” Isabella said gently. (1 Cedric was silent.

The suffocating feeling dissipated because of Isabella’s mention of being a burden. His rationality returned instantly at her words.

dnt Damn it, he… he still couldn’t help but think of that damned woman!

“Ced, don’t quarrel with Nat, okay? I hope you’ll have a good life.” “Isabella!” “I’m serious. After all, she and you have been together for ten years. What do you think?” Ten years?!

Cedric’s anger soared to the skies! Thinking of the ten years between him and Natalie, he felt like a fool!

That woman’s gentle appearance had deceived him!

He wished he could throw her into hell.

Isabella.” “Hmm?” ¡ “I will arrange an engagement for you very soon!

“With whom?” “Me!” Isabella was silent, but her heart bubbled joyfully!

However, she put on a serious look and said, “This will have an impact on you, especially since everyone.

already knows about my relationship with Nat.” “I know what I’m doing!” “But…” “Just be good and listen to me, okay?‘ Cedric forcefully interrupted.

Isabella’s hesitant expression only solidified his determination. Ivan lost his life because of him! Because of his wife’s jealousy, Isabella ended up in this state!

He had to take care of her for a lifetime. With how Rebecca was acting, could he trust anyone else?

Isabella was still young, and life’s journey was long. Apart from himself, anyone else walking with her on this journey wouldn’t be good enough!

Natalie was no longer by his side!

The ten years of emotions made Cedric lose confidence in all relationships.

Taking care of Isabella was his responsibility.

Cedric acted swiftly.

True to his word, he had the company announce the engagement between him and Isabella on the same night. The ceremony would be scheduled for half a month later.

When this news broke, the entire Verde City exploded!

Needless to say, things were chaotic in the Johnson Manor, “Is this rebellious boy out of his mind?” TRE 475 Elizabeth, who always had a good sleeping routine, couldn’t sleep tonight after learning the news!

Rebecca’s complexion now looked even worse.

As for Christina, it was beyond words!

In her mind, all she could think of were Isabella’s words–her dislike for Cedric and disgust for everything related to Natalie.

And now they were getting engaged?!

She couldn’t believe this was Cedric’s idea alone! Isabella must have seduced him somehow!

“Grandma, perhaps there’s a misunderstanding in this matter.” “Misunderstanding? It’s already so late in the night! Who would dare spread such news recklessly if it weren’t for his approval?!” Indeed. Who would dare?

So, this matter was undoubtedly true.

Christina stiffened! Her heart tightened…!

It was at this moment that she realized Isabella was truly extraordinary!

That woman had such a deep, hidden side to her!

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 227-Aborting the Child Rebecca swiftly stood up from the sofa and walked out.

Elizabeth exclaimed, “Where are you going?” ‘Scarlet Villa!” Rebecca said and left.

Elizabeth was speechless.

Glancing at Christina, who was equally stunned, she scolded, “Why aren’t you following her immediately?!” It was already late in the night, and Elizabeth was anxious. Cedric’s relationship with the family already wasn’t great because of Natalie, And now, all this trouble because of a woman named Isabella!

It was undoubtedly causing great anxiety for everyone!

Christina quickly followed her out…!

Karina acted swiftly. She approached Natalie and said, “Everything has been arranged!” “Your health isn’t very good. The hospital will prescribe some medicine to temporarily regulate your b*dy. They’ve scheduled the surgery for half a month later!” At this moment, Natalie was looking at her phone. Karina’s words hardly elicited a response from her.

She was staring blankly at it!

Karina stepped forward and glanced at Natalie’s phone. When she saw the news on it, her eyes couldn’t help but widen!

She pressed her warm palms on Natalie’s shoulder and patted her gently, attempting to say something to comfort her!

But nothing could comfort Natalie at this moment. novelbin She nearly miscarried at Radiant Tower due to Cedric’s actions!

Even though this child was unwelcome from the start….

But now, Cedric announced his engagement to Isabella while Natalie was in the hospital.

Who was Isabella? She She was her sister!

And now, Cedric was openly taking care of Isabella in this manner for the rest of her life!

Cedric not only ignored Natalie’s dignity but also ground the face of the Johnson family into the dirt!

“Alright.” Natalie nodded at Karina. She was acting very calm. It seemed as if she saw through everything, so there was no ripple in her heart when facing all this.

“Can we do it any sooner?” Cedric and Isabella’s engagement ceremony would happen at the same time as her surgery, and Natalie found it repulsive.

“Ms. Walker!” “Let’s do it tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow morning!” “Ms. Walker!” “Go ahead and get it arranged.” “But…” Karina wanted to say something more, but Natalie’s face was resolute at this moment. Karina swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.

Natalie faced everything with indifference.

Karina nodded and left again.

In the hospital room, Natalie was left alone once more.

Just then, her phone vibrated.

She picked it up and glanced at it.

It was Irwin.

Natalie’s heart clenched painfully!

She immediately answered, “Mr. Frazier!” “Where are you?” Irwin’s voice on the phone sounded serious, but oddly, this seriousness brought half a moment of reassurance to Natalie’s heart.

“I’m at the hospital.” “Are you sick?” The tone on the other end of the phone was somewhat unsteady.

Listening to the fluctuations in the man’s tone, Natalie thought of why she was in the hospital at the moment. There were just some things that were difficult to talk about!

She took a deep breath and said, “Just a minor ailment!” Ultimately, she didn’t have the courage to tell Irwin about her pregnancy.

For her, it was more embarrassing than any other privacy “I’ll come to see your “Don’t!” As soon as Natalie heard that Irwin wanted to come to her, she immediately refused without hesitation.

At this moment, even facing Irwin made her feel embarrassed.

Thinking about the time Irwin spent abroad, she… was really careless. Just thinking about those moments with Cedric made her feel nauseous!

She even…!

Perhaps in her past life, she always wanted a child. So, she had no concept of contraception, leading to the present situation!

“Where are you? I’ll come to see you.” Natalie said softly without waiting for the man on the other end of the phone to speak.

“I’m in Elegance Bay.” “Okay, I’ll be back right away.” She hung up the phone and stood up.

There was still some pain in her lower abdomen, but it wasn’t the same intense pain she experienced at Radiant Tower.

This pain was bearable.

Changing into her own clothes and putting on her coat, Karina returned just in time to see Natalie dressed neatly.

Are you She was surprised, out?” “Yes “But you can’t leave the hospital now; you have to stay here.” “The doctor said the earliest he can schedule the surgery is next week. I’m sure you’re aware of the condition of your b*dy!” sin During this time, Natalie had been busy with work. Both physically and mentally, she was in extreme fatigue!

Now that Karina was back with a large bag of medicine. She clearly intended to use it to help Natalie.

regulate her b*dy.

Natalie looked at Karina, then at the medicine in her hand, and a bitter smile appeared on her l*ps.

“Being involved with him really damages both b*dy and mind!” One slight misstep, and she had almost lost her life.

With Cedric, she could lose anything, just not her heart!

Giving him her heart would only end badly for her!

That was the clearest thing in Natalie’s mind..

“What about you…” Karina looked at Natalie with concern.

Natalie glanced at the time on her wristwatch and said, “I’m just going out for a while.” *Then I’ll call Leon, or should I accompany you?” While saying this, Karina subconsciously glanced at the pile of documents.

Natalie knew that she couldn’t handle much on her side now, and Karina was shouldering many things.

She said, “Ask Leon to come over!” She knew that if she didn’t let Leon accompany her tonight, Karina wouldn’t easily let her leave the Given her current situation and the circumstances surrounding her, having Leon by her side did indeed have its advantages.

At this moment, Rebecca and Christina had already stormed into Scarlet Villa.

And Cedric… was th too!

His expression wasn’t too pleasant when he saw them approaching.

“Have you gone mad?” Upon seeing Cedric, Rebecca didn’t hold back. She directly threw her phone at Cedric, and the device hit him on his forehead!

Isabella had already gone upstairs. After the release of such news, Cedric anticipated the current situation, so he instructed Isabella to go upstairs and advised her not to come down, no matter what happened.

“Mom, I’ll go check on Isabella, Christina said softly to Rebecca after seeing Cedric’s frosty expression.

Neither Rebecca nor Cedric said anything. After all, in Cedric’s heart, Christina was very obedient.

Christina went upstairs.

Rebecca’s anger was surging like a tidal wave. She looked at Cedric and said, “This is the place your married Natalie!” “Letting Isabella move into this place is one thing, but what? Now you even want to marry her here?!” Rebecca wasn’t exactly defending Natalie.

She just felt that this would have an immensely significant impact on the Johnson family.

She had only accepted Natalle because of her connection to Stephen. Even though there were rumors.

circulating outside, neither Natalle nor Stephen had come out to say anything.

Before this, Rebecca wouldn’t have any comments about it!

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 228-All or Nothing After all, Natalie had suffered enough.

So, before Cedric tried to establish such a relationship with Isabella… Rebecca wouldn’t agree!

Even if Natalie wasn’t Stephen’s nice, Rebecca would still never agree to Isabella being her daughter– in- law!

“She’s Ivan’s only sister in this world.” “But there’s no need for you to dedicate your whole life to taking care of her!” Rebecca’s tone became solemn.

Ivan’s sister?!

It was like a curse.

It lingered around the Johnson family and couldn’t be shaken off no matter what they did!!

Indeed, looking at it now, wasn’t it true?

“What other feelings do you want?” Cedric mocked, looking at Rebecca.

His gaze made Rebecca instantly uneasy. “What do you mean?” The implication was that, after the incident with Natalie, he started to despise even the notion of feelings.

After all, the ten years of emotions with Natalie proved to be unreliable.

So now… Was he implying that, without Natalie, it didn’t matter who he spent his days with?

Therefore, he would take care of Isabella?

Natalie was the root cause of his losing confidence in relationships, and Isabella was his responsibility.

He didn’t love Isabella, but he had to take responsibility!

However, Rebecca couldn’t fathom this change.

Cedric loved Natalie, but he had to let go?!

“Ced.” When Rebecca spoke again, there was no tension In her tone, only exasperation.

“Maybe there’s a misunderstanding about Nat’s situation. Look at her now…” “I don’t know when it started, but you’ve been so protective of her!” Cedric interrupted, and Rebecca fell 175 Wasn’t this what she had always wanted before?

Now, Rebecca’s heart was truly in turmoil. If she had known earlier that rejecting Natalie would ultimately result in having Isabella as a blind daughter–in–law, she would have made sure Natalie and Cedric got along well!

No matter what she said, she now only wanted Cedric and Natalie to get along well!

No, they would never get along, not with Isabella between them!

At this moment, Rebecca not only regretted her decision but also realized that Isabella was not a simple person.

“We’ll take good care of Isabella! Rebecca said with a slightly firm tone.

“Hah!” Cedric laughed mockingly, clearly aware of the situation when Rebecca deliberately kept Isabella away.

from him.

“I did it because…” Rebecca struggled to explain.

The gratitude she felt for Ivan, thanks to his sister, had been completely shattered.

“If possible, I really wish I had been the one to die for you back then. I wish I had died instead, okay?!” If it were her, there would be no Ivan, and certainly no Isabella!

Upstairs, Christina looked at Isabella sitting in a wheelchair. A hint of malice flashed in her eyes.

“You really have a way, huh?” “You’re not a reliable partner! Isabella said with determination.

Christina’s already unpleasant expression now darkened completely.

She said viciously, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Ced all about what you did to your sister?” “Go ahead,” Isabella replied indifferently.

Christina fell silent. At this moment, Isabella acted as if she didn’t care about anything. It was as if nothing mattered to her.

2/5 With fearless tones, Isabella continued, “Right now, I’m blind, penniless, and have nothing. What kind of storm can I stir up?” “You… I “Or do you want to tell your brother I schemed against Natalie? Did I calculate everything with my own eyes? That I planned on living a lifetime of darkness?” Christina remained silent.

So ruthless!

She wasn’t a good person, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but admit that Isabella was truly ruthless, both to others and herself.

Isabella didn’t have a good ending now, as she would spend her whole life in darkness.

Was that why she was clinging to Cedric?

“I’ve already said that I’ll ensure you have a worry–free life forever. You can have anything you want,” Christina said in a restrained tone.

If she could, she really wanted to tear Isabella apart!

They could have gotten along well! But Natalie, who Christina couldn’t get rid of, ruined everything Yes… Before, Christina had secretly dealt with any woman who got close to Cedric Only Natalie seemed like a solid presence. No matter what methods she used, she couldn’t drive her away from Cedric, so she panicked.

Now, it was even worse.

Natalie was gone, but in her place was a more difficult presence to deal with!

The mocking smile on Isabella’s l*ps was even more scornful.

She said, “Christina, I’ve seen the fates of those people. Compared to you, your brother is more reliable.” By Cedric’s side, she could enjoy the warmth of that man for a lifetime. She could also receive good care.

That was a truly worry–free living, right?

“As for Natalie now, I don’t need to do anything more. Your brother will take care of “Are you burning the bridges now that you’ve gotten what you want?” Christina hissed.

3/5 She was close to screaming in Isabella’s face!

“Compared to you, what I’ve done is nothing. How many bridges have you burned?” “You…” “What do you think? Between you and me, who does your brother trust more?” “What do you mean?” why not give it a try?” “You…” For the first time, Christina felt the terror of this woman. Even a simple smile on her l*ps seemed to carry the terrifying aura of hell.

Downstairs, Rebecca was desperately trying to persuade Cedric Suddenly, a miserable scream echoed throughout the house.

“Ahhh…!” This scream instantly interrupted the two Cedric was sitting on the sofa. He immediately shot up the stairs when he heard the scream!

Rebecca’s heart tightened as she quickly followed after him.

“N–no! l–it wasn’t me, Ced…!LL Christina’s voice of panicked explanation followed, The s scene was chaotic. Isabella lay on the ground, her wheelchair toppled to the side. The disorderly aftermath revealed the intensity of the situation just now.

Cedric shot Christina a fierce glare and walked swiftly toward Isabella. He picked her up from the ground.

At this moment, Isabella was pale and shivering in Cedric’s arms. She had clearly been quite frightened.

Christina watched Isabella’s exaggerated act and felt the urge to tear her apart. However, seeing the severity on Cedric’s face, she trembled, and any words she intended to say were forcibly swallowed.

Looking at Rebecca with,a look of grievance, Christina said, “Mom!” This was the first time… Yes, the first time Christina was on the receiving end of such a look from Cedric.

He was the man she admired, and this gaze was more unbearable than being tortured!

After giving Isabella a fierce look, she ran out crying!

Scarlet Villa was now in complete chaos.

Meanwhile, Natalie had arrived at Elegance Bay. Instead of going straight to her place, she went to Irwin’s residence!novelbin.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 229-Paying the Price no one come to At this moment, she stood at the doorstep. She pressed the doorbell repeatedly, but no answer.

Looking at the dark villa with no lights, she realized that Irwin probably hadn’t arrived yet.

As the cold wind blew, she felt a chill running through her b*dy. Taking out her phone, she dialed Irwin’s number.

Beep!

The phone rang continuously until it automatically hung up, and still no one answered.

Natalie adjusted her coat. Suddenly, there was a weight on her shoulder. It was Leon!

“It’s quite cold.” A black windbreaker draped over her, and he said, “It’s quite cold.” The man didn’t say much, and Natalie nodded without refusing. She was indeed feeling cold; perhaps it was due to changes in her b*dy.

During this period, she would shiver at the slightest breeze.

In her previous life, Scarlet Villa went up in flames shortly after she learned about her pregnancy. Looking back now, she had already forgotten what it felt like for a woman to be pregnant.

But now, she could feel the changes in her b*dy.

Natalie called repeatedly, but Irwin didn’t answer. Natalie stood at his villa gate for a full two hours. Her b*dy was getting stiff from the cold, and the man she had an appointment with hadn’t returned.

Leon stayed by her side, watching her shiver even with his coat wrapped around her.

He rarely spoke but finally couldn’t help but say, “Let’s go back, alright?” “Leon!” “Yes, ma’am” “Find out where he is!” Natalie’s voice trembled, partly from the cold.

Irwin was not someone who would break his word. If they had an appointment, he wouldn’t just fail to return.

US Leon nodded. He took out his phone, and made a call. After waiting for about five minutes, the Information came.

v gaze.

Leon glanced at his phone and then looked at Natalie with a heavy “Miss, half an hour ago, Mr. Frazier was forcibly put on a plane by Master Frazier’s people.” Natalie was silent.

He went abroad?!

Natalie’s face turned pale, and she closed her eyes. At this moment, her already cold b*dy seemed to freeze completely.

With the situation in the eastern suburbs, it was clear that things were more complicated than she thought, Looking at Leon, she said in a trembling voice, “I understand.” It was good that he left. Cedric was acting like a madman now, and she was involved in both the incidents in Sylvan Gems and the eastern suburbs.

Now, Isabella had moved into Scarlet Villa, and she was getting engaged to Cedric Each of these seemed like the actions of a lunatic!

Natalie didn’t know how to describe Cedric anymore; she only wished to have no connection with him.

She turned around to get into the car. When Leon started the car, he couldn’t help but glance at Natalie.

“Did you ever explain things to Mr. Johnson?” People on Natalie’s side knew exactly who Natalie was. Regardless of the public opinion, they understood.

the truth.

Leon’s responsibility was solely to protect Natalie. He never casually asked questions or made. comments about her affairs, but everything happening in Verde City and on Natalie herself was undoubtedly orchestrated by Cedric.

In a short period, Cedric had created a complex trap for Natallo, making it difficult for her to escape.

Explain?

Natalie bitterly smiled. “I’ve explained too much, and I’ve become numbl Investigate anything anymore.

The man wouldn’t believe her, and she couldn’t be bothered to investigate anything anymore.

Why didn’t she investigate Christina?

Because of Isabella!

If Isabella was causing trouble with Cedric now, Christina definitely wouldn’t let it go.

In Natalie’s eyes, the Johnson family was like a homet’s nest. She could already guess that it had been kicked, and people were tearing each other apart!

Given enough time, the truth would surface. By then, Cedric’s world would have nothing to do with her.

Rather than personally dealing with those people for him, she’d rather leave it to him to enjoy the rest of his life!

She wished for Cedric’s world to burn to ashes!

By the time she returned to her own villa, it was already past ten.

Leon had informed the kitchen in advance, so some warm dishes were prepared for Natalie. They had prepared some light dishes that were easy on the stomach.

Natalie took a sip of the soup, and her stomach churned uncomfortably. Seeing Natalie’s discomfort, Nigel approached with concern.

“Is it not to your liking?” “It’s fine.” Natalie shook her head.

She knew why she felt uncomfortable. The taste she had never experienced in her past life was now vividly felt in this life.

After making an effort to take another sip, she couldn’t bear it any longer.

She rushed to the bathroom and threw up “Blargh…Ugh…!” novelbin una She threw up almost all the soup she had drank. She felt extremely bloated.

At this moment, Natalie also felt the greatness of being a mother. To give birth to a child… women had to sacrifice so much.

Men couldn’t comprehend the hardships women experienced–Just like the taste she was experiencing ΠΟΥ 3/5 Her previous self probably never thought she would ever experience this!

She suddenly thought of her mother…!

Did her mother endure so much pain to give birth to her?

Her mind gradually cleared.

The more sober she became, the more she hated her father…!

Why did women have to go through all this?

The hatred she had for her father, for Isabella’s mother, for Isabella… There was no words to describe her feelings!

Natalie didn’t know how she came out of the bathroom.

“Leon!” “Yes, ma’am.” Leon respectfully approached.

Natalie looked at him with a somewhat bad complexion and said, “Come with me to the study.” “Yes, ma’am.” A lot of commotion and rumors about her and Stephen were circulating outside. Even so, the people in Elegance Bay always treated Natalie with utmost respect.

They didn’t form opinions based on external rumors. This place was Natalie’s sanctuary.

Cedric had once said that Natalie’s home was wherever he was. However, that home was now occupied by another woman.

The notion of a home was shattered when Isabella moved into Scarlet Villa.

Now, this place was Natalie’s home.

In the study, Natalie glanced at Leon and said, “Do you have relevant resources?” “Miss, what do you mean?” “I want to investigate someone,” It was regarding the matter she had assigned to a private detective earlier. Originally, when Cedric didn’t Now, after the recent incident in the bathroom, she found a renewed purpose in pursuing it.

The things related to Christina must also be connected to Isabella!

She… was blind and has paid the price for her misdeeds!

However, Natalie had overlooked one thing before.

Isabella came for revenge against her mother. In that case, how could she easily let it go?

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 230-Taken Away “Alright!” Leon took note of the information Natalie provided and nodded. It seemed that Leon had the necessary resources.

As Leon turned to leave, there was a knock on the study door.

“Who is it?” “It’s me.” Nigel’s voice came from outside.

Leon glanced at Natalie, who placed the relevant materials into a drawer.

“What’s the matter?” “There are some guests downstairs. They claim to be here regarding the eastern suburbs project.” Natalie and Leon exchanged glances.

Regarding the eastern suburbs project?

Downstairs, Natalie saw the people in uniform and knew the situation was truly pointing in her direction.

Jonathan had taken away Irwin, and now, her movements were further restricted due to the events in the eastern suburbs and with Sylvan Gems.

“Ms. Walker, we need to conduct a detailed investigation for the eastern suburbs project. Would you. please come with us?” The leader of the group spoke politely.

Though polite, Natalie understood. If she went with them tonight, it might not be so easy for her to return to this place.

Karina had rushed over when she got the news. When she saw this group of people, her expression changed.

“Ms. Walker!” She approached urgently..

Natalie glanced at Karina with hope in her eyes, However, Karina said, “We can’t reach Mr. Jarvis.” Natalie’s heart sank. She knew all of her uncle’s time and energy was tied up with Winona right now.

With Sylvan Gems facing issues and the troubles in the eastern suburbs, she feared she wouldn’t be able Taking a deep breath, she said, “Alright.” “Ms. Walker!“” “Try your best to contact the chairman.” “Understood.” Karina nodded.

Karina didn’t want Natalie to go with these people. Not only was she the founder of Auro Studio, but she was also the CEO of Sylvan Gems.

The key issue was that both Auro Studio and Sylvan Gems were facing problems.

As Natalie walked away, Leon followed behind her. For some unknown reason, these people didn’t stop him. Logically, if they asked Natalie to come along for an investigation, then nob*dy should accompany her.

However, there was no obstruction!

In Verde City, the rain always carried the chilly scent of soil.

Natalie sat in the car with Leon by her side, looking at the bustling city outside.

“Why did you follow me?” She hadn’t noticed earlier, but now she realized Leon was by her side. Knowing that what she was about to face wouldn’t be resolved quickly, Leon didn’t need to accompany her.

However, Leon explained, “Mr. Jarvis has said that in crucial moments, I should stay by your side!” Especially with the current situation unfolding in Verde City, it was now much more serious than before.

In such circumstances, Leon needed to be with Natalie at all times, regardless of what needed to be said.

Natalie fell silent.

Cedric had won.

Yes, this time, he had won.

The few relatives she finally had in this lifetime were driven away instantly by that man. It had created a situation where everyone related to her was implicated, Natalie was taken away.

Although Zane and Karina managed to suppress related information, Sylvan Gems‘ internal circles were aware.

So, Cedric would also be aware of it Naturally, the Johnson family knew as well.

Rebecca was already irritated over Isabella’s affairs, and now she was shocked to hear about Natalie.

While Christina felt some joy, her predominant emotion was hatred towards Isabella.

Christina firmly believed that Isabella wasn’t such a straightforward person, and Natalie’s current predicament was undoubtedly related to her.

“Miss, please eat something.” Wanda suggested to Christina.

The day had passed. Though it was nighttime, Wanda had prepared noodles for her. Normally, Christina would have a good appetite when in a good mood, but now, she had none.

“I’m not hungry. Take it away.” Christina waved her hand.

Right now, she didn’t even want to talk.

“Miss, you need to have a healthy b*dy to have energy, don’t you think? Wanda remarked.

Christina remained silent.” Wanda continued, “It’s just an engagement. Even his marriage wasn’t stable. This engagement won’t amount to anything substantial.” Christina glanced at Wanda, her expression still serious. “Don’t say such things in the future.” Rebecca wouldn’t allow her to have any feelings for Cedric. Though she resisted, Christina didn’t dare: defy Rebecca’s orders.

After all, if Rebecca treated her poorly, her position in the Johnson family would be even worse.

“Miss, are you still hiding things from me? I know what’s on your mind. There’s nothing wrong with liking someone. Isn’t that so?” Seeing Christina’s softened expression, Wanda continued.

Christina was already feeling aggrieved. Then, she recalled Cedric’s fierce gaze towards her.

He…!

For Isabella, he had…!.

Even when Natalie was around in the past, and something happened between them, Cedric would never treat Christina this way.

But now…!

“There, there. It’ll be fine. Take it slow, okay?” “Compared to Isabella, the madam surely prefers you!” Wanda said.

This statement caused Christina’s eyes to brighten.

“What do you mean?” “You’re very smart, Miss, right?” In Wanda’s eyes, Christina and Cedric were a well–matched pair!

It wasn’t like they originally had any blood relation. Even if they were truly together, what could those people say?

Whether it was Christina or Wanda, they both felt that Rebecca was too old–fashioned and traditional in this regard, and there was no need to oppose it.

“Thank you, Wanda,” Christina said, feeling touched by Wanda’s strong support.

Over the years, her affection for Cedric had always been a secret.

When humans were not allowed something, they tended to want more.

Wasn’t this her case?

Her love for Cedric over the years had grown wildly. It was like wild grass, completely uncontrollable.

The more they were not allowed, the more she couldn’t control her feelings.

When she watched those women openly approach Cedric, Christina could only stew quietly in her jealousy and secretly do things that couldn’t bear the light of day.

Those women could openly gaze at Cedric with eyes full of love, but Christina… couldn’t!

Later on, he got together with Natalie.

For seven long years, no matter what methods she used, she couldn’t get rid of that woman.

That woman enjoyed all Cedric’s tenderness, and Christina… watched as their relationship got better and better.

Eventually, Natalie even married him.

Even so, Cedric hadn’t been as protective after they had gotten married!

Now, he had divorced Natalie!

But why was he getting involved with Isabella?!
