A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 291- Is It to See the Child?

When Lydia and Xyla saw Natalie return, they quickly took the suitcase from her hands.

Then, Lydia said, “In the half month you were away, the entire Hillside Villa, including the streetlights, has been changed to lighting that suits you.” “Alright. Thank you.” “We’ve prepared soup for you according to Madam Heather’s instructions. Would you like to have it now, or would you prefer to take a bath first?” “I’ll take a bath first.” Natalie was truly exhausted.

She hadn’t expected her aunt to be worrying about her even from such a distance. In the past half month, she had not lived an easy life.

Fortunately, Heather was by her side. If she weren’t there, Natalie really didn’t know what she would do.

But now that Heather was staying there, she felt a bit more at ease.

After her bath, she donned a silk robe and descended the stairs. Her slender legs were exposed,/ leaving Lydia and Xyla staring in astonishment.

Though Natalie wasn’t tall, her legs were truly eye–catching. They were slender and straight, visually enhancing her figure.

“What are you looking at?

Seeing the strange expressions of the two, Natalie cast a reproachful glance at them.

“We’re not looking at anything,” Lydia said. “We just think you’re becoming more and more beautiful, Miss.” “It seems Madam Heather’s efforts over the past two years haven’t been in vain!” At Lydia’s words, Natalie smiled.

Lydia was telling the truth. Heather was quite knowledgeable when it came to nursing one’s health. She always made various soups for Natali They were nutritious and were also good for the skin and the overall health of a woman.

Lydia knew that Natalie hadn’t eaten well in the past half month, so she prepared some dishes Natalie liked.

+25 BONUS “You didn’t need to make so much, I can’t eat that much.” Natalie looked at the table full of food and felt a bit distressed. It was in her nature not to be wasteful.

“Madam Heather said you haven’t eaten well in the past half month, so she asked us to take care of you,” Lydia responded.

Moreover, Matalie’s b*dy was naturally not prone to gaining weight, so eating a bit more was okay.

Natalie sighed helplessly.

Although she didn’t gain weight even if she ate at night, her stomach was only that big. There was a limit to how much she could eat.

Seeing how at ease Natalie was as she ate, Lydia and Xyla knew that Natalie had handled things well overt here.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so relaxed now.

“Mr. Johnson, this is not appropriate…!” Suddenly, a commotion came from outside.

Lydia and Xyla exchanged glances. They were about to go to the door, but the butler hurriedly came in.

“Miss!” Then Cedric followed.

The butler looked at Natalie apologetically. “I’m sorry, Miss.” Everyone in the Jarvis family knew about Natalie’s strict demands on those who worked below her. She had even fired a secretary for such matters in the company before.

It was even more unthinkable for such a situation to happen in her home.

The air around Cedric was chilling.

Their eyes met, and Natalie’s expression soured.

She said to the people around her, “You’re all dismissed for now.” “Yes, ma’am.” Everyone turned and left the dining room.

Now, only Natalle and Cedric reipained in the dining room. Natalie was in her dark silk robe and her fair skin created a vivid contrast with the color of the robe.

The robe’s collar was slightly open, revealing the faint scars on her neck from the fire two Cedric’s eyes tightened with a hint of coldness at the sight.

-25 BONUS Initially, his eyes were filled with anger. After seeing the scars, Cedric’s demeanor softened.

The anger was gone from his tone when he next spoke “Where have you been for the past half month?

Half a month!

After realizing she might have left Simeria for the child, he had been instructing Lucas to find Natalie by any means necessary.

However, it was unexpected that she disappeared for a half month after leaving.

Cedric had to admit that Natalie was quite capable right now. He completely understood what it meant to lose control when it came to her.

Natálie smiled mockingly and said, “You seem to be watching me closely!

“Just answer me!” Cedric said in a deep voice.

“Do I need to explain myself to you?” Natalie shot back “Did you go to see the child?” The glint in Cedric’s eyes intensified as Natalie continued to avoid the question.

Natalie’s expression stiffened at his words! novelbin But then it quickly returned to normal.

However, Cedric didn’t miss this subtle change in her demeanor.

that Natalie was drinking off the table, and the broth spilled all over the floor.

Seeing the soup Heather had instructed the kitchen to make for her being wasted like this, Natalie instantly flared up.

Slap!

A harsh slap landed on the man’s face.

Cedric hadn’t expected that just a bowl of soup would lead her to resort to physical violence, but he didn’t mind.

His hand clasped around her slender waist.

In close proximity, those burn scars on her neck and beyond caught Cedric’s attention. He had already seen the extensive injuries during their last encounter in the car, but seeing them again under such bright lights still had a profound impact on him.

Taking a deep breath, he asked, “Is the child still alive?” “The child Is been gone for a long time!” “Natalie!” “What right do you have to ask about the child?!

He had no right!

Under Natalie’s sharp words, Cedric himself knew that he didn’t have the right to inquire about the child.

But he had to ask.

“I’ll give you information about Bianca as an exchange, hmm?” Natalie was silent.

As soon as he said those words, Cedric clearly felt her stiffen in his arms.

At this moment, he was almost certain that the child was still alive and hidden somewhere else when she found out he had come to Simeria.

“Nat…” Cedric called her name sternly.

Natalie swallowed harshly, then pushed him away abruptly with a cold expression.

“What daydream are you having?” “You…” “The child is truly gone. Remember what you told me! You said you’d guarantee Bianca’s life!” Natalie spoke each word with unwavering determination. In her firmness, a chill rose from the depths of her being, making Cedric’s previous confidence waver.

How important was Bianca to Natalie?

Even now, despite offering Information about Blanca in exchange, Natalie still didn’t relent.

So, the question of whether the child was still alive or not became a direct uncertainty!

Thinking that the child might no longer be there Cedric felt a suffocating sensation in his chest.

If the child was no longer there, how had the child been dealt with?

+25 BONUS Undoubtedly, such a result was heartbreaking, and Cedric felt his chest tightened further.

“Where did you go in this half month?” “It was a business trip. Do I need to tell you even about work–related matters?” “No need!” Continuing the conversation was pointless.

Whether the child was there or not, Cedric understood that he wouldn’t be able to extract any information from Natalie.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 292-He Only Has This One Way Besides, if the child were still alive, Cedric wouldn’t be able to get any information, even if he used Bianca’s whereabouts as a bargaining chip, It was evidens that Natalie wasn’t showing the true extent of her feelings for Cedric, She hated him.

She hated him so much!

She even wished to obliterate him completely.

And she… had every reason to hate him! From her previou life to this one, he was well aware of everything she had lost because of him.

“Let’s go.” Cedric finally turned away.

Natalie frowned.

Go? Where?!

“Did you forget? I’ve told you half a month ago. You have to spend the same amount of time with me that you’ve spent with Irwin in the past two years.” And this was what he used to exchange for information about Bianca, Natalie had been busy during the last half a month. It hadn’t been easy, and being apart from Cedric had allowed her to calm down a bit.

“Are you really sure you know where she is?” Natalie asked, trying to remain calm.

In reality, she didn’t want to have any involvement with this man.

Cedric didn’t directly answer her question. Instead, he took out his phone, scrolled through it, and then handed it to Natalie. She looked at the phone he handed her, instinctively avoiding it.

To her understanding, anything Cedric wanted her to see was definitely not something good.

However, what he wanted her to see was undoubtedly related to Bianca at this moment!

Finally, she took the man’s phone and looked. When she did, she felt her chest tighten again.

“What happened to her?” Before, Cedric showed her pictures of Blanca in miserable state, with those peculiar vacant eyes that constantly disturbed her nerves. Now it was a picture of Bianca on a hospital bed.

eyes were closed, and her cheeks were sunken, showing signs of her difficult time.

Her ‘Are you coming or not?” Cedric asked in a pressuring manner.

+25 BONUS He didn’t answer her question. Instead, he simply took back his phone and kept it away.

Natalie hissed through gritted teeth, “Cedric!” This man knew how important Bianca was to her and understood that seeing Bianca like this would disturb her. However, even knowing this, he still showed no intention of giving her information about Bianca!

Cedric asked again, “Are you coming or not?” “Fine!” Natalie slammed her hand on the table in anger.

This man…!

Forget it. He had said before that he was shameless when it came to her, so all the insults hurled at him were useless.

As they reached the door, Xyla and Lydia were startled to see Natalie preparing to leave.

“Miss, are you going out?” “Don’t tell Aunt.” “But you shouldn’t go out to places with strong lights at night. Your-” “Lydia!” Natalie interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. She then looked at Lydia and shook her head.

Clearly, she didn’t want Cedric to know.

Upon hearing Lydia’s words, Cedric frowned. After seeing Natalie’s displeased expression, he say anything and simply extended his hand to her.

didn’t Natalie said, “I’ll be careful!” She only said that to reassure Lydia and Xyla.

She had learned not to show any weakmess in front of this man, no matter what happened.

That was how Natalie currently was.

In the car, Natalie wore glasses. It was somewhat similar to sunglasses but with noticeable differences.

“Why are you wearing this at night?” Cedric questioned.

Natalie didn’t reply, and her response to his question was an icy silence.

Cedric wasn’t pleased with her silence, and his one showed some displeasure. “I didn’t ask you to give me this attitude when you accompany me.” hat else do you want?” What else?

Cedric looked at her.

“You should treat me the same way you treat Irwin!” “Can you compare yourself to him?” It was blunt words that struck at the heart of the man.

Cedric gave her a fierce glare and fell silent.

There was nothing else to say!

He couldn’t say anything more. If he continued, this woman would undoubtedly anger him to death. Her sharp tongue wasn’t something anyone could endure.

Natalie finally felt at ease inside the car as she basked in the silence.

When they arrived at Peach Garden, Natalie realized she hadn’t worn any shoes. She must have been so angered by that stubborn man. Before she could react, she felt her world tilt and she was suddenly in the man’s arms.

Natalie struggled. “Put me down!” “Are you sure you can walk like this?” “What’s it to you?” “It’ll matter soon enough!” Cedric said and carried her inside.

The butler and Lucas, among others, saw Cedric bringing Natalie back. The tension in the air didn’t ease at the sight.

If anything, it tightened.

Because these two would argue loudly no matter where they were.

No one knew when the conflict between them would be completely resolved. If they continued like this, everyone around them would be driven crazy.

Cedric carried Natalie directly into his bedroom.

“I don’t want to stay here!” “You better think twice before you say that.” What do you mean?” “If you behave, I’ll give you some news about her” +25 BONUS Her? Bianca?!

From the beginning, Cedric had remained silent, refusing to answer any questions directly. But now he was saying she could get some fragmented information?

Then, what if she pieced together these fragments?

Natalie stopped her resistance after she thought about it and allowed the man to place her on the bed.

As she portrayed an obedient demeanor, his eyes betrayed a deepening complexity.

“She suffered a severe injury. She needed five stitches on her scalp.” Natalie gasped sharply at his words. “Who did it?

“I’ve responded to one question according to the conditions set,” Cedric responded.

“You…” Natalie was going out of her mind.

The information Cedric had given her was better off not given at all!

Such information only made her more distressed Bianca was a strong woman. She always held up a professional front at work and ensured her work was perfect. As a lawyer, she made sure criminals in court had no way out.

Yet, she was now in such a difficult situation?!

How big was the grudge between her and the person who had hurt her?

To subject her to this…!

Five stitches!

Natalie was already afraid of needles, let alone the pain of stitches. Just thinking about it sent shivers down her spine.

“So, what do you want-” “The conditions between us, I believe, have been very clear. Don’t you think?” Cedric interrupted.

Natalie was silent, and she glared at Cedric fiercely.

At this moment, she wished she could tear him apart!

The auger inside her had been accumulating and finally erupted.

“You promised to ensure her safety!!!

+25 BONUS Her angry shout echoed through Peach Garden. Lucas and the butler downstairs heard her hysterics.

They exchanged a heavy glance.

This was just the beginning.

How would the days ahead be?

However, they all knew Cedric brought this upon himself.

However, they all knew Cedric brought this upon himself.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 293-Do You Understand the Pain of Surgery?

Upstairs, Natalie was about to go crazy!

Just thinking about Bianca getting injured and needing five stitches made her mind race with questions.

Why was Bianca injured? Why did she need stitches?

The sheer volume of information made it impossible for her to calm down.

“I said I would ensure she lives. I didn’t say I could guarantee her safety!” “Can you?” “No!” novelbin Natalie was silent.

Breathing became difficult, and her chest tightened.

From Cedric’s response, she could deduce that Bianca had probably gotten involved with someone very dangerous..

Otherwise, why would even Cedric say he couldn’t guarantee Bianca’s safety?

“And you can’t control what happens to Bianca!” She felt like she was suffocating again!

What did he mean that she couldn’t control it?

Hearing Cedric say this made her chest not only tight but also filled with fear.

Who had Bianca provoked? Why did Cedric say she couldn’t control it?

“I used to be able to stand up against you, so now I can definitely handle Bianca’s affairs,” Natalie said slowly.

Yes, she could handle it!

“That was different!” “It’s not different. You used to go all out against me, didn’t you?” I seemed that there was nothing else to say between them.

Cedric felt a headache building up!

+25 BONUS He had to admit that women could really hold grudges. Once someone touched their bottom line, who knew how long they would remember it?

Cedric was genuinely afraid.

The two stared at each other in silence, unsure of what to say. Anything they said would feel like a direct ab to the other’s heart.

After taking a shower, Cedric came out.

As expected, Natalie wasn’t in the bedroom.

In the end, he found her in a guest room!

When he turned on the light, Natalie instinctively covered her face with the blanket as if she disliked the light.

Light.

Cedric recalled back at Hillside Villa when the maid had expressed concern about Natalie and mentioned the light.

Unfortunately, Cedric currently knew nothing about Natalie’s health!

She had no medical records in the past two years, indicating that the Jarvis family had always arranged for doctors to provide specialized care at home.

“It seems I have to be careful when exchanging information with you in the future.” This woman was a classic case of burning bridges.

Natalie lay on the bed. The fact that she could be under the same roof as Cedric was already her limit.

How could she willingly share a room with him?

But Cedric didn’t care about that.

He went straight to her and lifted her off the bed “Cedric, don’t you know not to cross the line?!” “I don’t care about that!” After saying this, he carried Natalie back to the master bedroom.

Yes, he didn’t care about that now.

Respecting her? Going along with her?

+25 BONUS All those things would only make the distance between her and himself grow further. Rather, those things would maintain the distance between them, and he would go i mad.

So, he decided to completely embrace the image of the shameless man she described.

Natalie was furious but helpless to resist.

“Can you turn off the lights?” The brightness of the lights felt like needles stabbing her eyes. She didn’t like this kind of lighting either.

Cedric frowned.

“Are your eyes uncomfortable?” A night spent under the fluorescent lights could be irritating to anyone’s nerves, even Cedric, who was generally laid–back.

Natalie didn’t respond. Sensing her discomfort, Cedric got up and dimmed the lights. Once he did that, he felt her tension ease.

Seeing her silhouette with her back turned, a suffocating feeling filled Cedric’s chest.

He climbed onto the bed, approached her from behind, and embraced her.

He expected her to struggle, but she didn’t. She just remained calm in his arms. It was a calmness that carried a sense of distance.

Though she was physically there, she seemed miles away.

Feeling this, Cedric tightened his embrace. “Nat.” It was a soft murmur, but Natalie showed no reaction.

Finally, she was in his arms.

Two years… To others, it seemed like a short time. But for him, it felt like countless years.

In his previous life, Cedric didn’t know how many days and nights he spent accompanying Natalie in the rehabilitation hospital after she became a vegetable.

The heart–wrenching pain during that period…!

When Natalie finally died, he felt as if he had lost everything and couldn’t get back on his feet again.

In this life, he pursued her across time and space only to receive news of her death again.

Now, he was finally holding her in his arms again Regardless of their feelings for each other, he was unwilling to let go.

+25 BONUS That night, Natalie tossed and turned in a restless sleep.

Cedric, on the other hand, slept better than ever In the morning, Natalie picked up her phone to call Wendy, intending to have her come over and pick Natalie up.

However, Cedric snatched the phone away.

“We’re not going to the company today!” His tone was firm, almost commanding.

Naturally, Natalie didn’t appreciate his attitude.

“I have to go!” “Regal Horizons has a solid foundation. Even if you don’t go for a day, let alone a year, it won’t come crashing down,” Cedric said authoritatively.

She disliked his tone, but what he said was true.

However, she would rather work than stay with him here. Still, if Cedric said she couldn’t go, she definitely wouldn’t be allowed to go. He had arranged some necessary things for her today, so she had to stay at Peach Garden.

“After breakfast, go change your clothes!” Cedric frowned as he looked at her, still wearing the robe from the previous night.

He had prepared a lot of clothes for her, both for work and leisure. It was all custom–made according to her size. He knew that these things meant little to her now.

Once, when he took care of everything for her, there was always a sense of accomplishment.

However, the Jarvis family had pampered her like a princess.

Yet, Cedric’s habits were deeply rooted in these small things, and taking care of everything for her had become his second nature.

Natalie wasn’t bothered about such trivial matters. After breakfast, she went upstairs to change into a new outfit and came back down.

The clothes were bought according to Cedric’s taste, and Natalie had long ceased to like this fresh style.

“It suits you very well,” the man said with a smile as he watched her walk in with a light blue floral dress.

This was the newest style for this season, and in his opinion, it perfectly suited Natalie Previously, Natalie used to love this style when she was still by his side.

+25 BONUS After waking up in his current life, he realized that everything about her had changed–her taste, her words, and even her personality.

Natalie didn’t respond.

To her, these were meaningless things, and she couldn’t be bothered to engage in this topic with Cedric redric v irritated at her silence.

Before long, someone arrived.

“Ms. Sophia Lowe.” Natalie was confused.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 294-The Ironic Compensation The woman looked pretty good. She had curly hair and a seductive figure.

“Not bad! The beauties around you are getting more and more flavorful!” “She’s much better than that… Ms. Morgan. Good job. Your taste seems to have improved a lot!

Cedric’s face darkened. Why did this woman always have to bring up Isabella, no matter what the occasion?

Thinking about it, Cedric felt a headache coming on.

“She’s a doctor!” Natalie instantly stiffed. At this moment, she also realized why the woman’s name sounded so familiar.

The last time Jason recommended her to a highly skilled cosmetic surgeon, her name was Sophia Lowe.

However, they hadn’t met in person.

“So, this is the legendary Mrs. Johnson. I’ve heard so much about you.” Upon hearing the title Sophia had used, Natalie’s face immediately darkened.

“I’m the deputy CEO of Regal Horizons, not Mrs. Johnson.” When their hands clasped, both of them exerted force involuntarily.

Sophia maintained her smile and said, “I see.” That was the end of their small talk.

Sophia smiled and said, “I have limited time. Can we do the examination now?” Examination?

Cedric wanted to remove all the scars on her b*dy, but Natalie wouldn’t be so cooperative!

No need.” “Nat!” Cedric, do you think that if all the scars on my b*dy disappear, all your sins will also vanish?” That’s not what I thought!” +25 BONUS Cedric was only trying to compensate her as much as possible.

Natalie laughed sarcastically.

“Ms. Lowe, please leave.” ‘My schedule is very tight. If I leave now, seeing me in the next two years will be difficult. Are you sure?” “Yes!” Natalie replied with determination and no hesitation.

Sophia was a proud doctor. Upon hearing Natalie’s words, she didn’t waste any time and left immediately.

And so, Natalie had successfully driven her away, In the living room, the atmosphere was heavy.

Cedric clicked his tongue impatiently and lit a cigarette. Clearly, he couldn’t contain his emotions any longer.

“In this regard, Sophia is very accomplished. If she performs the surgery, she’ll be able to remove all the scars on your b*dy.” Cedric was confident about this.

Natalie played with her hair and sarcastically said, “Yes, they will all be removed. But have you ever thought about the pain I’ll have to endure during that surgery?” Compensation?

Natalie knew that this man wanted to eliminate the ridiculous guilt in his heart. But she didn’t know how many reconstructive surgeries it would take to completely remove the extensive burns on her b*dy.

And in the midst of all that, what kind of pain would she have to endure?

He didn’t know!

Cedric froze at her words.

“You studied at a medical university before, right? You even went abroad for further studies because of it. Don’t you know what kind of pain the patient has to endure in what seems to be a simple surgery?” Although there will be anesthesia during the surgery, what about after the anesthesia?

What kind of pain must be endured then?

+25 BONUS Natalie’s calm words hit Cedric’s heart painfully.

He pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

“I’m sorry, I…” At this moment, he was speechless. He was unsure of what to say to Natalie.

Perhaps Natalie was right.

He wanted to eliminate the ridiculous guilt in his heart.

But was it really just that?

No!

She didn’t know anything at all. She didn’t know that he endured not only the torment of guilt but also the pain of losing her.

He wished he could repair every scar on her b*dy himself, wishing to restore her to her original state.

She had no idea how he came to this world.

“I’ve arranged a medical checkup for you,” Cedric finally said.

Because they couldn’t retrieve Natalie’s medical records from the hospital, Cedric could clearly sense that Natalie’s health was not good. Especially last night, after she fell into a deep sleep, the pillow was damp with sweat.

He didn’t believe she was fine with such a physical condition.

So, he had arranged for a doctor to come for a checkup.

“Don’t waste your time!” “Don’t you feel that something is wrong with your b*dy?” Natalie couldn’t be bothered with Cedric and went straight to the company. She had already called Wendy, and Leon was also there.

They came to Peach Garden to pick her 1. up.

Leon and Wendy were both shocked when they arrived, but they didn’t dare to ask much.

Leon!” Yes, Miss.

Do you think Bianca might be in Simeria?” Natale asked.

Considering Bianca’s condition last night and the speed at which Cedric received the For the past two years, they had initially focused on Simeria, but they expanded the search abroad because they couldn’t find any clues in Simeria.

But now…!

“Simeria?” Beon frowned.

“Start with the hospitals!” Natalie thought for a moment and said.

However, she shouldn’t limit her search to only the hospitals.

Although Cedric didn’t explicitly say it last night, the information Natalie obtained from him made it clear.

Natalie needed to investigate Simeria’s nobility.

Cedric said she couldn’t handle this matter, but what was the reason?

The only explanation was that the other party was in a powerful position.

She wanted to trace the root cause. She needed to find out who had a grudge against Bianca and investigate which of Bianca’s cases from these years were related to Simeria and who was involved.

Ultimately, they should have focused on Simerial It seemed like they had finally found a breakthrough.

It wasn’t easy, but the investigation would become much easier now that they had a lead.

“Yes, ma’am!” Leon nodded.

After Natalie left, Cedric glanced at the doctor who had rushed over and frowned.

In the end, Cedric made his way to Lotus Villa.

Since Natalie had taken over the company in the past two years, Stephen seemed to have retired completely. He spent most of his time at Lotus Villa.

Whether he had truly retired or had more important plans was unknown.

Upon learning that Cedric had come to see him, Stephen stiffened as he was about to drink his tea Then he said, “Let him in!” If Heather were here, she probably wouldn’t allow him in. But Stephen probably knew why Cedric had come.

+25 BONUS Natalie’s physique seemed fine on ordinary days. But if one were to spend the night with her, the truth revealed itself.

Her b*dy was not in good condition.

Cedric entered and saw the serious look on Stephen’s face. With just one glance, he could see that Natalie bad inherited good genes from her mother’s side.

Especially the eyes.

Natalie and Stephen’s eyes looked so similar.

“Our apologies for visiting so late. This is a small token of goodwill,” Lucas said as he presented a gift box.

Inside was a fine white jade ornament, and its color indicated its high quality.

What surprised Stephen, however, was Cedric’s attitude.

This time, he was indeed different!novelbin “No need for the gift. Speak up, what’s the matter?” Stephen wasn’t displaying a great attitude towards Cedric. After all, he had expected Cedric to have changed.

However, this change was not enough to offset the damage Natalie had suffered.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 295-Learning about Her Eyes The atmosphere became tense.

Stephen raised his cup and took a sip before asking, “Is this about Nat?” “Her health hasn’t been good these past two years, right?” Cedric asked with a hoarse voice.

Stephen’s gaze turned icy in an instant. novelbin Without a doubt..!

Even if Isabella had approached Cedric with ulterior motives, it was Cedric who was asking about Natalie’s health right now.

When it came to Natalie, Stephen instinctively believed that Cedric had the least right to know anything!

After all, he had been the cause of most of Natalie’s problems!

When the truth was revealed, the reasons and secrets behind those actions were just excuses in the eyes of the person who was hurt.

Instead of answering Cedric’s question, Stephen asked, “Is Isabella still staying at Morina Hotel?” Morina Hotel was also a part of Regal Horizons International’s hotel division.

Did Cedric actually arrange for her to stay at Morina Hotel?

Was he truly unaware, or…!

When Isabella’s name was mentioned, both of their expressions darkened, especially Cedric’s.

Stephen looked at the subtle change in Cedric’s eyes and smiled coldly. “It seems that she’s still so important to you. If so- “Mr. Jarvis!” Cedric interrupted Stephen’s unfinished sentence.

When had it started that anyone who talked to him would connect him to Isabella?

There was nothing between them!

Faced with Stephen’s sharp eyes, Cedric’s throat tightened. Then he said, “I just want to know. how Nat has been these past two years.” Yes. He had come to see Stephen to understand the issue of Natalie’s health.

As Stephen suspected, last night, Cedric had felt It had been well past midnight, yet there was no warmth in her b*dy at all. This wasn’t a So, it was clear that Natalie had some significant health issues, Stephen lit a cigar and then looked at Cedric.

“Who am I?” Who was Stephen?!

Without a doubt, Stephen’s sudden question made him stiffen momentarily. Without waiting for him to speak, Stephen exhaled a puff of smoke.

His tone became sharper and colder as he said, “Do you still think she’s the same Natalie who had nothing and allowed you to manipulate her?” Had nothing Allowed Cedric to manipulate her?

Stephen emphasized these points heavily.

In that instant, it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over Cedric’s head. It sobered him up instantly.

Things were different.

Not only was Natalie different in terms of character, but also in everything she possessed.

Everything had changed.

“The entire Regal Horizons is her natal family. Mr. Johnson, allow me to remind you… Her world is clean and will not tolerate any contamination!” Any contamination?

What did that mean?!

Undoubtedly, Stephen was talking about emotions!

Although Stephen didn’t explicitly state it, he also pointed out that Cedric’s handling of emotions was not rational and appropriate!

However, was Natalie’s world really clean? Or was Stephen too confident that Regal Horizons International was spotless?

“So, if you genuinely care for her, you should quickly settle everything on your side!!!

This statement from Stephien was dangerous and served as a warning to Cedric Cedric stood up and silently nodded at Stephen.

However, as he turned away, he heard Stephen say, “And, in the future, don’t let her drive…” Cedric couldn’t remember how he had left Lotus Villa.

As he sat in the car, his mind was filled with Stephen’s instructions about Natalie’s eyes.

Stephen knew that Cedric was the one who made Natalie drive the other day.

It was merely driving a car…!

However, Stephen said, “Fortunately, nothing happened that day, or it would have been disastrous!” He continued, “Natalie’s eyes were severely damaged in the fire two years ago.” Instantly, Cedric thought about why Natalie always wore glasses no matter when he saw her…!

Last night, he felt that Natalie was genuinely afraid of bright, glaring lights.

So that was it..!

Two years ago, that major fire not only burned her skin but almost took her sight as well.

Darkness!

The path was different this time.

In his previous life, Natalie had lost her eyesight. This time, she narrowly escaped the edge of darkness.

Cedric didn’t know how he ended up at Regal Horizons International.

Natalie had just come out of the meeting room and returned to her office. The moment she opened the door, she fell into Cedric’s arms!

The familiar and crisp scent made Natalie struggle continuously.

“Let go of me!” This damn man! Why was he everywhere?!

Natalie was troubled by this, but unfortunately, she couldn’t outright refuse him. After all, Biaca’s Information was in his hands. He was fully making use of it to do whatever he pleased here.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Cedric asked as she struggled, and the man’s grip tightened.

At this moment, his warm breath sprayed against her ear.

What was he talking about?

Clearly, she didn’t understand what the man was asking all of a sudden.

Also, she didn’t understand the pain she heard in his tone!

Hah! Would Cedric feel pain? Would he suffer for her?

In Natalie’s perception, this man seemed incapable of feeling pain…..

“Let me go first!” Natalie was about to lose her patience. She still had many files to review!

However, Cedric put her on the sofa in one swift movement. The moment she gained freedom, Natalie subconsciously wanted to distance herself from this man.

But in the next moment, she was confined in his arms again.

The man’s slightly cold fingertips rubbed against the area around her eyes. Then, he unexpectedly removed her glasses!

“Cedric!” Natalie’s tone now carried a hint of anger.

However, Cedric seemed unaffected by anything. He gently rubbed her eyelids.

“It must have hurt a lot back then, didn’t it?” His tone was light, yet it carried a sense of pain Now, Natalie understood what Cedric was talking about.

So, he knew about her eyes!?

However, whether it was the scars left by those burns on her b*dy or these eyes, they were all gaps between her and Cedric.

Two years had passed…!

Even after two years, Natalie could still recall how much pain she endured in the raging fire. Despite managing to bury these wounds deep within her heart, the scabs of those scars were brutally torn open once again by the man.

Vivid memories drenched in blood overwhelmed Natalie, and a suffocating feeling engulfed her chest.

Slap!

A sharp sound echoed as she slapped away the man’s hand, her gaze both hazy and icy.

Looking at the pain that flashed in her eyes, Cedric felt like his heart was mercilessly torn apart.

There was no need to ask +25 BONUS He could imagine the depth of despair Natalie experienced back then.

It was as if he felt the pain in his own b*dy. She must have suffered as though she was being skinned alive!

And at the thought of her suffering… he felt like his heart was being gouged out of his chest!

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 296-A Powerful Backing What happened in the afternoon had no impact on Natalie whatsoever. She appeared as cold as ever.

After Cedric eft, she immersed herself back into work. In the afternoon, Leon came by with a somewhat solemn expression.

“Any news about Bia?” Natalie asked.

Even though Natalie had to put up with Cedric for information on Bianca, that didn’t mean she stopped investigating on her own end.

It was evident she didn’t want deeper interactions with Cedric.

However, to Natalie’s disappointment, Leon shook his head.

“None.” “None?” Natalie’s heart tightened.

But Leon’s expression was more than solemn. Natalie could tell it was more than just the absence of news about Bianca.

“Is there more to this?” Natalie asked bluntly.

Leon frowned, and the atmosphere turned heavy. Leon had been with Natalie for a long time, and it was rare he looked like this.

It looked like… the situation was more complicated than Natalie thought.

He glanced at her and said, “The person behind this probably sensed we were looking into Ms. Sanders. All the cases that she has handled over the years have been erased.” Natalie’s gaze instantly sharpened. “All of them?

“Yes, ma’am.” All traces of Bianca’s work had been erased?!

“So, we can’t even find out who had conflicts with Bianca anymore?” “No.” Natalie’s chest tightened. So, was the person behind this connected to Bianca’s work?

Natalie had just ordered an investigation. Yet, this person had… They definitely had extraordinary abilities since they were able to wipe away every piece of Bianca’s work history!

It indicated that this person was…!

Natalie’s chest constricted.

“Ms. Walker.

“Hmm?” “What should we do now…?” What should they do?

Undoubtedly, Natalie was working in the open while the other person remained in the shadows.

Anything she did, that person would know.

Natalie took a deep breath. “For now, do nothing!” It wasn’t about wasting time. On the contrary, Natalie suspected the person might be even harsher on Bianca if she intervened.

“We’ve checked the hospitals, and it’s almost certain that Blanca is not in any hospital in Simeria.” “Alright.” At this moment, Natalie didn’t want to say anything. Her mind was in chaos, much like the situation in Simeria.

Leon left, and Natalie smoked several cigarettes in succession, but it didn’t calm her down. She tried hard to think about what Bianca might have been involved in over the years.

However, she failed.

During the time Bianca was working, Natalie was still Cedric’s wife. Bianca was often preoccupied, and Natalie approached her only when she was troubled or unhappy.

During those times, Bianca never talked about work–related grievances. She talked about only the joys of work, making it seem like an enjoyable experience.

After work, Cedric came to pick her up personally without Lucas.

On the way back, they didn’t head to Peach Garden. Natalie furrowed her brows briefly and then relaxed without saying anything.

However, the man driving beside her seemed to read her mind.

“They’re changing the lights at Peach Garden, so I’ll drop you off at Hillside Villa for now.” Changing the lights?

Natalie smiled with a hint of amusement. “You don’t need to go through all this trouble, you know.” “Nat.” “Isn’t Isabella on your mind more often nowadays?” Natalie and Cedric had long parted ways.

Also, Isabella was pregnant now!

Thinking about Isabella’s pregnancy and Cedric’s persistence, Natalie turned to the man beside her.

Her l*ps were pursed tightly, and Cedric obviously noticed thing was off.

He reached over and affectionately tousled her soft hair. “You’re overthinking again, aren’t you?” Just like in the morning, Natalie slapped away the man’s hand with a decisive movement.

Cedric glanced at her and continued, “You’ve asked Leon to withdraw from the investigation.” Natalie remained silent. When the topic shifted to Leon, her gaze turned cold.

Undoubtedly, this afternoon had been tough for Natalie.

“Who took Blanca away?” Her tone was sharp and carried a hint of heartache.

How could Cedric…?!

The car stopped at Hillside Villa. It was raining outside, and raindrops pattered heavily on the windshield.

The atmosphere in the confined space became even heavier.

Just then, Cedric’s phone vibrated. He pulled it out to see that it was Lucas calling him.

“Hello.” “Sir, please check your phone quickly.” “What’s going on?” “We have a big problem!” The already tense atmosphere heightened with Lucas’s words. Natalie could hear everything as the volume on Cedric’s phone was loud.

By the time Cedric hung up, she had already picked up her phone.

[Regal Horizons International’s Deputy CEO suspected of intervening in ex–husband’s new relationship!] [Regal Horizons International’s Deputy CEO is entangled with her ex–husband while his current girlfriend is staying at Morina Hotel!] [Regal Horizons International’s Deputy CEO…] Various similar headlines were trending in Simeria.

Natalie was speechless.

By now, Cedric had also opened his phone and seen the news.

His eyes narrowed dangerously, and he snatched the phone from Natalie’s hand.

He exuded a chilling aura that felt like a danger that seemed ready to obliterate everything…!

“Don’t look at it for now.” Natalie closed her eyes, the recent reports flashing in her mind. The air surrounding her was no less intense than Cedric’s.

Cedric pulled her into his arms. “Nat,” His usually powerful arms trembled as he held Natalie. Natalie didn’t struggle, but it was clear/ that his touch repulsed her.

“Is this what you wanted?” “Nat!

Cedric’s tone was tense, and his grip on Natalie became even firmer. “I’ll handle this matter properly.” Every word he spoke rang heavily with a promise Yet, despite his assurance, Natalie’s face remained unchanged. There was no indication that she was comforted by his words.

Then, Natalie’s phone vibrated.

Without thinking, Natalie pushed Cedric away and answered, “Hello.” “It’s me, Ms. Walker,” Wendy’s voice came from the other end of the line.

The urgency in her tone told Natalie everything she needed to know about the situation.

Glancing at Cedric beside her, Natalie’s eyes grew colder.

snake into the phone, “Do something for me now.” “Do you want me to handle the news?” “No need.” Natalie knew Isabella was behind this mischief. Rushing to block it would only imply Natalie was guilty.

She never played such games.

“Spread the news–Regal Horizons is acquiring Palm Pearl.” With that, Natalie ended the call.

Cedric stared at Natalie, feeling a sudden unfamiliarity about the composed and determined woman before him.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 297-Two Hundred Days, Not a Day Less Cedric understood.

At this critical juncture, the reason she decided to acquire Palm Pearl Inc. was undoubtedly at silent response to their relationship for the public eye.

There was a suffocating feeling in his chest.

“I’ll have Lucas handle the relevant documents as soon as possible,” Cedric said hoarsely.

Apparently, he would cooperate with Natalie on the procedural issues.

Natalie raised an eyebrow.

When she looked at Cedric, it was clear she found his quick agreement somewhat surprising.

In her mind, he was always one to resist, and she thought making him cooperate would require some effort.

She didn’t expect him to comply so easily with her actions.

Unbeknownst to Natalie, the establishment and rapid listing of Palm Pearl Inc. in Simeria was a plan Cedric had devised for her.

The projects involved were vast and intricate…!

He had always planned to hand the company over to her, but not… under these circumstances.

“Aren’t you going to take that?” His phone was incessantly vibrating, and the name “Bella‘ was flashing on the screen.

With that, Natalie felt his cooperation was somewhat laughable.

Cedric only noticed his phone was vibrating when Natalie pointed it out.

He took one glance at it and ended the call without answering it.

However, the caller on the other end persisted and called again.

“Nat, Bella and I…” Clack!

Without waiting for Cedric to finish, Natalie opened the car door and got out, clearly uninterested in listening.

They had nothing to do with each other.

If it weren’t for Bianca, why would Natalie get involved with Cedric?

So, the relationship between Cedric and Isabella meant nothing to her. She got out of the car. and turned her back on Cedric As Cedric watched her leave, he swallowed back all the explanations he had wanted to give her.

“Cedric, if you have even the slightest bit of conscience, give me all the information about Bianca.” The mention of Bianca made Cedric’s heart tremble.

At this moment, bringing up Bianca indicated to Cedric that their entanglement was solely because of Bianca.

Would he be standing before Natalie if that weren’t the case?

His heart shook, and the suffocating feeling in his chest intensified. When he next spoke, his tone had lost its previous gentleness and was ice–cold.

“Nat, have you forgotten? I’m heartless. How could I have a conscience?” “Two hundred days, not a day less!

As Cedric finished speaking, the powerful roar of the sports car echoed away into the distance Natalie stood in the rain for a long time without snapping out of her daze.

When Lydia came out, she saw Natalie standing alone, drenched in the rain.

She hurriedly approached Natalie and exclaimed, “Miss, what are you doing?! Madam Heather will be worried if she finds out!” Natalie was silent.

When she returned to her senses, Lydia already had an umbrella over her.

Only then did Natalie realize she had gotten quite wet.

She looked at Lydia, whose eyes were filled with worry.

“Miss.” “Let’s go inside,” Natalie said after regaining her composure.

Once inside, Lydia quickly brought towels and prepared hot water, fearing Natalie might catch a cold.

The maids weren’t being dramatic. Natalie had a tendency to run a high fever for several days whenever she got slightly soaked in the rain.

Each time she fell ill, Lotus Villa would be in chaos.

In the presidential suite of Morina Hotel, Lily observed the relevant reports on her phone with a satisfied smile.

She said, “If the master sees this, he’ll surely be pleased!” “Can I see her now?” Isabella’s entire demeanor was cold. Apparently, she cared little about how the public would scrutinize Natalie at this point.

Upon hearing this, Lily’s smile disappeared. Her face became serious as she looked at Isabella. “She is well by the master’s side, and he treats her very well. Don’t dwell on whether you can see her or not, alright?” Treats her well?! Hah!

Of course, it sounded wonderful when worded that way!

Isabella smiled mockingly.

Without waiting for her to speak, Lily continued, “The master said that as long as you behave, she will be fine.” Lily emphasized the word ‘behave,‘ which was clearly also a warning from her master to Isabella.

Isabella’s already pale face turned even paler.

Then, Isabella asked in a hoarse voice, “Can you give me a deadline?” Yes, a deadline!

She needed a time limit.

This endless life was too exhausting! Even in the darkness, the current situation made her want to break free.

In the darkness, Isabella sensed a change in Lily’s demeanor. As usual, Lily didn’t reply to this specific question. Instead, she helped Isabella up and changed her clothes.

What are you doing?” Sensing Lily changing her clothes, Isabella instinctively resisted. Clearly, whenever it came to changing clothes, it meant going out.

“You’re going to have dinner with Ms. Walker,” Lily said.

Isabella was speechless. novelbin What?!

Without waiting for her to respond, Lily continued, “She’s the deputy CEO of Regal Horizons, you know? You can’t dress too shabbily.” Isabella’s chest heaved heavily.

She wished she could tear off the clothes on her b*dy, but in the end, she could only clench her fists.

Control.

When would this control over her life end?!

Undoubtedly… Ever since the fire at the detention center, Isabella had let go of her original hatred for Natalie. Many grudges and disputes had been cleansed by that fire.

They no longer had any connection between them, and Isabella had no intention of reconnecting with Natalie, regardless of any reason.

But who would have thought…!

“He’s a devil!” Isabella hissed through gritted teeth.

Yet, Lily acted as if she hadn’t heard a thing, continuing to dress her in loose–fitting clothes.

Once dressed, the outfit hung loosely on her b*dy Lily carefully helped Isabella out. Just as they were about to get into the car, Lily said sharply,” I’ll forget about what you said just now. If you say things like that again, the master will be angry, and she’ll be the one who suffers!” She!

Upon hearing this word, Isabella’s face turned pale, and she restrained all her anger instantly.

Lily pushed her into the car. “The master said he’ll be waiting for your good news.

Isabella remained silent.

Inside the car, her face was as pale as a ghost as she listened to the sound of the wheels passing over puddles.

As the driver navigated toward Natalie’s current residence, they were stopped at several checkpoints for questioning just before reaching their destination.

was evident that Natalle was well protected in Simeria at the moment, and it was clear at This height also made it apparent that the people around Natalie were not ordinary.

The driver received a call and then handed the phone to Isabella.

“It’s a call from Master.” Π Isabella took the phone. “Hello.” A deep voice came from the other end of the line, “Bella, you need to speed things up. You and Natalie also have some grievances, don’t you?” At this moment, Isabella was more certain than ever.

Yes, this man wasn’t holding a grudge just against Cedric… but also against Natalie!.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 298-Intentionally Wearing Maternity Clothes As the man finished speaking, Isabella could distinctly feel the weight of his breath from the other end of the phone.

Her own breath tightened in response.

Yes, it wasn’t just Cedric, but also… Natalie!

Otherwise… She couldn’t understand why this person always got involved with Cedric and Natalie and took action against Cedric whenever they were together.

If it was only hatred for Cedric, then couldn’t this person have ended everything during Cedric’s two years in prison?

‘Bella, you’re really such a naughty girl, hmm?” the man on the other end of the phone said, his tone both tempting and filled with a sense of danger.

But it also carried a warning, tinged with a threat.

Isabella remained silent.

Before she could speak, the man continued in a coaxing tone, “Go. Don’t disappoint me.

It was more of a threat than coaxing. Without waiting for Isabella to say anything more, he hung up.

He didn’t directly answer Isabella’s question, but it definitely strengthed her guess.

There was definitely a deep enmity between him, Cedric, and Natalie!

Hillside Villa was dimly lit.

At the dinner table, the butler announced that Isabella had arrived.

Natalie paused in her actions when she heard that. Upon hearing Isabella’s name, Lydia and Kyla couldn’t help their expressions from darkening.

Evidently, the people caring for Natalie already knew what kind of existence Isabella was in Natalie’s world.

“Miss, I’ll get her to leave,” Lydia said respectfully as she approached Natalie.

Natalie frowned, glancing at Lydia. Especially seeing Lydia’s vigilant expression, she knew that Heather must have briefed her extensively.

Thinking of her uncle’s words earlier, Natalie put down the spoon. She wiped away the stains. from her mouth with a napkin and said to the butler, “Let her in.” “Miss.” Lydia’s tone tightened.

After all, Heather had given them strict instructions about Isabella. Lydia and Xyla were reluctant to Isabella in, as it might affect Natale’s emotions.

However, Natalie said, “Lydia, I understand my int’s concerns, but now I am not just the Jarvis family’s young lady.” Natalie emphasized the latter part of her sentence It had been two years.

In these two years, she had been treated as a young lady of the Jarvis family.

Natalie still didn’t know what had happened between Stephen, Heather, and Winona two years ago.

It had been significant enough that Winona hadn’t returned home until now.

Before, their relationship was relatively good. But in these two years, their contact had Increasingly less. Even when they did communicate, Winona avoided many questions.

It was as if they were guarding a secret from her.

But… not just towards her. It was as if they were keeping it a secret from everyone.

Soon, Isabella was led in. Lily, who was usually by her side, was absent. Isabella wore loose- fitting clothes that hung on her as if it had been draped over her b*dy.

However, it also made it easy for people to see that it was… maternity wear.

There was a glint of darkness in Natalie’s eyes at the sight.

“I didn’t expect you would be willing to see me,” Isabella said.

The servant who supported Isabella stood a short distance away.

Natalie picked up the glass in front of her and took a sip. She didn’t respond to Isabella’s words but instead asked, “Have you eaten?” “Not yet.” Natalie was silent. Clearly, she didn’t expect Isabella to answer this way. The darkness in her eyes deepened.

“If you haven’t eaten, have something. The dishes here aren’t specifically filled with nutrients required for pregnancy, so I don’t know If you’ll be able to stomach it,” Natalie said flatly.

It was at this moment that Natalie completely understood that she.. truly had no feelings for Cedric.

If there was even a hint of emotion, she would definitely have someone throw Isabella out.

But there was none!

She only felt a little uncomfortable seeing Isabella in maternity wear. After all… their past interactions were so intense.

But it seemed that all they had left was the past.

Isabella didn’t hold back after that. After the servant helped her sit, she was served some dishes.

After taking a few bites, Isabella smiled bitterly. “You’re really doing well now, huh?” Natalie was silent and didn’t respond to Isabella’s words.

After putting down the cup in her hand, Isabella’s chest felt a bit painful.

Even with her eyes covered, Natalie sensed something different from her. She was giving off a sense of resignation, fear, and… loneliness.

In the past, Isabella’s hatred towards her was hysterical. It was hard to believe that now she couldn’t sense any resentment from Isabella.

“Go on, then. Why are you here?” Natalie got straight to the point.

They didn’t have much of a friendly relationship, especially after the unpleasant incident in the office where they clashed.

However…!

Whenever they met in the past, Isabella would always demand Natalie leave Cedric or insult her.

But Isabella didn’t do any of those things today!

Isabella just stared silently in Natalie’s direction. The air around her was heavy.

Natalie raised an eyebrow, “Did you intentionally wear maternity clothes to show me?” Isabella had just announced her pregnancy in Natalie’s office. Now, with barely a visible bump, she was wearing maternity clothes.

Also, the air Isabella gave off now was completely different from when she had been at Natalie’s office!

Lily had been there, and Isabella had been so intense. Now… it seemed like she was holding something back “You figured it out!” Isabella spoke, her tone even more incomprehensiblely bitter.

“Isabella.” “Who’s behind you?” Natalie asked bluntly.

Last time, Stephen mentioned that Isabella might have had some ulterior motives in approaching Cedric at the beginning. He had implied that there was someone behind Isabella pulling the strings.

But Stephen couldn’t confirm the person’s identity.

Now that Natalie was seeing Isabella again, she wondered if there really was a conspiracy… Or had Isabella really changed?

caulell When Natalie said that, she saw Isabella’s pale face freeze momentarily, Natálie was silent.

So, there was someone?

“Who is it?” Natalie asked sharply.

Isabella was sitting opposite Natalie, and she tightened her grip on the spoon. Her trembling white knuckles indicated that she was currently suppressing something with great effort.

Natalie never acknowledged Isabella as her sister, nor did she ever care about their blood ties. Like any normal person, she regarded Isabella’s existence as an indelible stain and wished to avoid any interaction with her.

However, Isabella suddenly appeared by her side like a shadow accompanying her everywhere!

Wherever Cedric appeared, Isabella was bound also to be there.

And wherever Natalie was, Isabella could easily infiltrate.

Such stubborn persistence!

It was no wonder Stephen felt something was amiss in the background.

Stephen wasn’t the only one. Natalie also felt it now.

Isabella!” Seeing how Isabella remained silent, Natalie’s tone became sharper.

But the next moment, Isabella took a deep breath and fiercely slammed the spoon on the table.

“Natalie, would you believe me?” Believe you… what?” “I actually…” But at this moment, Isabella paused, forcefully restraining herself.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 299-Constant Surprises However, this restraint had almost reached its limit.

In the end, Isabella took a deep breath and said, “I actually don’t hate you anymore,” Natalie was silent.

Hate?!

So, Isabella was telling Natalie that she initially came after her because of hatred?

But that hatred no longer existed now?

“You don’t hate me anymore?” “Yes, I don’t! Not anymore!” Whether Natalie believed it or not, Isabella was speaking the truth at this moment.

In the beginning, it was hatred.

Why did she hate Natalie? It was because of Natalie’s mother, and the hatred persisted until the moment Natalie perished in the flames.

After that, Isabella no longer harbored hatred. She felt nothing even when she received news of Natalie being alive again. She only thought that Natalie was incredibly lucky.

However, now…!

Natalie’s tone became sharper. “So, you came just to tell me this?” “Leave Cedric!” So, the topic inevitably circled back to Cedric!

“Do you love him?” “Yes, I love him. Consider it as you pity me, okay? Don’t get back together with him,” Isabella -pleaded.

And this plea, combined with her previous pitiful demeanor, created a depressing scene.

With things at this point, Natalie could already guess what would happen next. As soon as Isabella left today, Natalie would undoubtedly have to face Cedric’s questioning.

Natalle must have been crazy to think that there was someone behind Isabella.

Hah. Ulterior motives, huh?

“Lydia.” “Yes, ma’am.

“Escort her out!

At this point, Natalie couldn’t bear it any longer. Clearly, discussing Cedric with Isabella was not something Natalie wanted to do.

“Natalie, please. Just consider my plea.” Lydia pulled Isabella up from the dining chair, but Isabella continued to plead.

Natalie picked up her glass and took a sip.

Lydia forcefully led Isabella out, and her desperate cries faded into the distance.

However, Natalie’s heart became more and more restless.

Lydia returned and looked at Natalie with deep concern. “Miss…” “Did you arrange for someone to see her off?” “Yes, ma’am.” “Did anyone come with her?” “No!” She came alone…!

She truly had nerve!

Isabella was already blind, yet she managed to find her way to Hillside Villa.

In Natalie’s previous life, she couldn’t go anywhere except Scarlet Villa after losing her sight.

After Isabella was gone, Natalie calmed down slightly.

Raising an eyebrow, she looked at Lydia. “Did no one really follow her here just now?” “Yes, ma’am. Besides the driver, no one was here with her.” A shadow flashed in Natalie’s eyes.

So, her Intuition just now was right?!

In their last encounter, there was a woman with Isabella when she came to see Natalie. This time, she was alone, and her attitude was completely different!

“Miss, Mr. Jarvis is calling you.” lore Natalle could figure things out, Xyla brought the phone over.

Natalie took the phone. “Hello, Uncle.” “We need to handle the situation this time more carefully. After all, you’re Regal Horizon’s deputy CEO!” “Don’t worry, we’re already taking care of it.” novelbin “Good, that’s reassuring.

Stephen could hear that Natalie wasn’t in any emotional distress over the manner, which calmed him slightly.

However, who knew if this was a good or bad thing?

But either way, as long as Natalie was fine… that was what mattered!

With that, they ended the call.

Then, Natalie immediately called someone else.

“Yes, Ms. Walker?” Wendy’s voice came from the other end of the line.

“How’s the situation progressing?” “Don’t worry, we’ve prepared the relevant documents. Once the relevant department on Mr. Johnson’s side signs and stamps them, we can announce it.

“Alright, handle it as soon as possible.” As Stephen said, she was now the deputy CEO of Regal Horizons International. With such an incident, it naturally had to be handled with caution.

Clearly, she was the target of this incident.

Thoughts of Isabella acting strangely flashed through her mind, and the timing of this news release was…!

Closing her eyes, she massaged her aching forehead.

Just after ending the call with Wendy, Cedric’s call came in.

Natalie had a headache, but she still answered. “Hello.” “Did Isabella go to Hillside Villa?” His tone was icy cold, and it felt as if he was interrogating her.

Natalie pursed her thin l*ps, and a sharp glint flashed in her cold eyes.

Before she could speak, the man on the other end of the phone continued, “Nat, everything etween you two is in the past, you know?” “Things between us, Cedric, are also in the past! Natalie responded sharply.

Things between her and Isabella were in the past?

What did he mean?!

Did he think she sent someone to bring Isabella here?!

It was suddenly so silent that even the drop of a needle could be heard clearly.

The tension between them escalated, and after a while, Natalie hung up the phone without another word.

Her expression was stormy and dark, and her chest heaved continuously.

“Miss.” Lydia looked at her with deep concern.

Natalie opened her eyes, a cold glint appearing in them. She directly dialed Leon’s number.

Her entire dinner time had been chaotic and unsettled until now!

Leon answered the phone, but before he could speak, Natalie said, “I need you to do something right away.” “Yes, ma’am!” “Get Isabella out of Simeria,” Natalie said, restraining her anger as much as possible.

That’s right. If she kicked Isabella out of Simeria, Cedric would leave with her.

It doesn’t matter!

Even though Stephen said Isabella’s initial approach to Cedric was planned, these things were no longer important to Natalie.

She just wanted these people out of her sight!

She no longer cared about how her relationship with Cedric broke down or the reasons behind it.

Since Cedric always believed that anything that happened to Isabella was related to her, she would let him see what she was truly capable of this time!

‘Miss.” Leon’s tone was tight after he heard Natalie’s orders.

“Handle it immediately. No matter what means you use, I want the news of Isabella leaving Simeria tonight,” Natalie said, not waiting for Leon to say anything more before hanging up the phone.

It was evident how angry she was about this matter. In her entire life, Natalie despised covert achons the most and looked down on those who operated in the shadows If one wanted something, just come out and ask! Why bother scheming in the dark?

Her surroundings were quiet, and Natalie calmed down a bit.

People at Hillside Villa were well aware that the entire Simeria had been stirred up by trending topics related to Natalie today.

Lydia approached with concern and said, “Miss, if we deal with it in such an extreme manner now, would it have any impact on the company’s reputation?” After all, the headlines reported that Natalie was the one pestering her ex–husband and affecting his current relationship.

If she now forcibly drove Isabella away in such an extreme manner, the reports might become something else entirely.

Natalie had to admit that Lydia’s considerations in this regard were quite thorough. Perhaps this was also why Heather had assigned Lydia to Natalie.

A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 300-A Slap on the Man’s Face Upon Lydia’s remarks, the coldness in Natalie’s eyes dissipated and was replaced by calmness.

Was this what the person behind Isabella wanted?

The person in the shadows…!

After tonight’s encounter, Natalie was almost certain of it–Stephen’s previous speculation was correct.

Isabella had someone backing her.

With this thought in mind, Natalie picked up her phone and called Leon.

He answered promptly, “Yes, Miss?” “Just make sure Cedric sees what I mean.” She implied that there was no need for real force, but she wanted Cedric to learn a lesson.

It was a restless night for Natalie.

Early the next morning, Stephen saw Natalie at the breakfast table in Lotus Villa and was somewhat surprised.

“I thought you wouldn’t be back anytime soon.” Natalie looked at Stephen and said, “You previously mentioned that Isabella had ulterior motives in approaching Cedric and me, right?” “Why bring this up all of a sudden?” “I think you’re right. I could feel it,” Natalie said.

Stephen was silent.

Natalie could feel it?

Stephen looked at her, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

He had to admit that Natalie had gained quite a bit of experience in the two years she had been at Regal Horizons International.

No one knew the intensity of her work over these two years, and no one knew how many people she had met Moreover, no one knew that every time she met these people, she had to accurately analyze what kind of person they were and what kind of collaboration would be able for thein +25 BONUS She couldn’t afford to be simple and naive when standing in such a position.

So, she could now grasp a sense of many things that she couldn’t two years ago.

Stephen sighed, which left Natalie puzzled!

“Uncle?” “I’m still confirming Cedric’s background right now. Once I’m done with that, I’ll be able to determine who’s backing Isabella.” “Cedric’s… “Do you still think he’s the same man you used to know back then? You recall that he effortlessly escaped from Verde City prison, right?” Natalie was stunned.

Obviously, Cedric wasn’t the same man she used to know!

She had already discovered that Cedric could have easily left Verde City two years ago, but he had stayed in prison because he just chose to give up everything.

When Dylan and Zane investigated the evidence, any action from him, no matter how small, would have disrupted their smooth progress.

As the saying goes, there was no greater sadness than heartbreak.

It seemed that this saying also applied to a man like Cedric.

Natalie’s expression darkened, and Stephen continued, “I’m sure you know he could have easily left Verde City two years ago.

“He came out of prison because of you!” Otherwise, they would have believed Cedric was genuinely subdued.

Cedric had come out of prison so quickly because he received news that Natalie was alive.

Natalie’s complexion wasn’t great. Clearly, she never liked others associating her with Cedric. “Uncle-” “Simeria is not as simple as you think it is now. Be cautious in some of the upcoming projects, Stephen interrupted with a deep tone, making Natalie sense the complexity of the situation. Nodding, she replied, “I understand.” f her uncle warned her to be cautious, she would naturally pay more attention +25 BONUS Returning to the topic of Cedric, Stephen looked at her more seriously and said, “Nat, your need to figure things out between you two.” Figure things out? Between her and Cedric?

Clearly, the things between them had become too tangled to unravel.

It wasn’t like she wanted to…!

“I know you don’t want to get involved with him any further. But even if you don’t, you must understand the truth behind it.” “Is it really important?” Natalie wasn’t too fond of this idea.

“What if the fact that you two got together was also part of a scheme?” Stephen asked.

At his words, Natalie’s expression instantly changed.

Isabella inserting herself between her and Cedric might have been a scheme.

Now, her uncle was suggesting that her relationship with Cedric might also be part of a scheme?!

How was that possible?!

“Uncle…?” Natalie’s voice tightened.

If Stephen’s speculation was correct, then the situation between her and Cedric was even more terrifying than she thought.

Stephen took a sip of his drink and said, “Let’s hope I’m just overthinking things. But at the moment, it doesn’t seem so.” If his speculation was true, then the person behind everything was indeed extraordinary.

They already confirmed that Isabella had someone backing her.

However, who that person was, and their intentions remained unclear.

This was also the reason why Stephen wanted to figure things out.

Natalie didn’t know how she got out of Lotus Villa, and her complexion was not good.

Just as she was about to get into Leon’s car, she saw Cedric standing by a nearby car in a black windbreaker. There was an air of nobility and aloofness around him.

With just one glance, he strode towards her.

+25 BONUS Before Natalie could react, he grabbed her and led her directly towards his car.

“What are you doing? Let go of me!” Natalie protested.

Cedric ignored her and bundled her into the car without much trouble. Natalie was infuriated but she had no way to deal with Cedric The car drove far, far away.

They drove to a secluded place. In the cramped space, heaviness filled the air, and the man’s hands remained firmly on the steering wheel.

His entire demeanor exuded an icy coldness that was forcefully restrained.

After a while, it was the man who broke the silence.

“Why did you do that last night!?” “Are you talking about the Hillside Villa incident or throwing Isabella out of Simeria?” Natalie responded with a cold tone.

As she finished speaking, the already oppressive atmosphere grew even more stifling.

The man looked at Natalie and said, “Do you know the impact of doing such things at this critical moment?” “Are you worried about me? That’s rare!!

Unfortunately, she didn’t believe it. She knew her methods last night were intense, but it was just a lesson for them.

The man’s eyes turned bloodshot. He grabbed her, pressing her firmly onto his leg before Natalie could react.

Before she could react, he leaned close to her ear and said, “Don’t do anything to Isabella again, got it?!” Natalie remained silent, and the air around them turned cold.

Slap!

A sharp sound echoed in the small space as Natalie slapped the man’s face.

The already heavy atmosphere intensified once more.
