Ch. 301..310
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 301-Natalie didn’t know how she returned to the company.
After receiving a call from Heather and hearing what she said, tenderness filled Natalie’s eyes.
“Thank you, Aunt.” Her tone was full of gratitude and emotion.
“Silly child, what are you saying? I’m here, so you can stop worrying, hmm?” Heather responded.
“Yeah.” Natalie had to admit that it was true. Since Heather arrived in Snow City, Natalie had indeed felt more at ease.
After all, Heather was a meticulous person.
Lily looked at Isabella, who was silently having breakfast.
Then, Isabella heard Lily say, “Master said he’s very satisfied with the results this time.” “Hah!” Isabella sneered.
Before Lily could speak, Isabella continued, “Of course, he’s satisfied. The entire Simeria now has a negative view of Natalie, and Regal Horizons has experienced some turbulence because of it, right?” Π “Is this his goal?” Was his true goal Regal Horizons International?
With these words, the atmosphere in the living room became heavy.
Lily’s demeanor also became colder.
She said, “This is not something we should be asking.” “When can I see her?” It always came back to the same topic!
eto!
Isabella was originally willing to submit herself to these people because of her, but she couldn’t bear to do it all the time.
Being pressed to do things she didn’t want to do genuinely felt unpleasant.
+25 BONUS When she was willingly going against Natalie in the past, that man was her support.
But now, things were different.
Being coerced to do things felt even more unpleasant.
Lily said, “Master already said not to ask again!” “In that case, tell him to find someone else to do the job!” It was rare that Isabella’s attitude became a bit more assertive.
This was the first time since she started cooperating with Lily’s master that she was being so firm.
Things were now different!
Isabelle never expected the person who had always supported her from the shadows would turn out to be him… the man closest to Natalie!
Natalie probably didn’t expect it either.
Now, Natalie was truly surrounded by wolves.
The chill in Lily’s eyes increased a few degrees.
“You’re challenging the master’s bottom line.” “Does he know what the bottom line is?” Isabella shot back with a displeased tone.
Π Before Lily could threaten Isabella again, she continued, “I don’t even know whether she’s alive, you know? So, why should if she is happy or not?!” I Living in comfort was secondary compared to life and death.
Lily also realized that Isabella was determined this time and would only be satisfied if she saw that person.
Finally, Lily relented a little and said, “I’ll talk to the master about it.” Upon hearing this, the tension in Isabella’s shoulders also eased a bit.
However, Lily said in the next moment, “But there’s one thing the master is not very satisfied with.” What?
You’re still staying at this hotel.” Although it was a luxurious hotel, the question of who moved in with Cedric became crucial +25 BONUS While Lily didn’t explicitly state it, Isabella understood the implication of her words. 1 Isabella’s expression turned even worse.
In Simeria, public opinion was buzzing.
However, to everyone’s surprise, news broke that Regal Horizons International had acquired Palm Pearl Inc. at noon.
This news caused an uproar!
In that instant, people understood that the interaction between Natalie and Cedric was related to an acquisition contract.
Even though they were ex–husband and ex–wife, it didn’t affect their professional interactions, right?
Public opinion collapsed on its own.
Watching Wendy return with the acquisition contract, Natalie smiled.
“How rare of him to cooperate nicely with me!” To Natalie, Cedric was not just a shameless man. He was also willful and arrogant.
In the past, as long as there was even a slight thought that she might harm Isabella or Christina, he would not spare her.
She could especially recall the time in Verde City when he had heartlessly thrown her into prison.
She hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly.
Cedric had just warned her in the morning not to do anything to Isabella. Yet, the contract was still executed without any hindrance later in the day.
“There weren’t any difficulties from their end,” Wendy remarked.
Not even any difficulties?
That was truly surprising!
However, Natalie didn’t think too much about it. Regardless, as long as the crisis on Regal Horizons side was resolved, she didn’t care much for anything else.
Just then, her phone vibrated.
It was a call from Stephen.
+25 BONUS Natalie answered, “Hello, Uncle.” “I saw what happened. You handled the situation well. I feel at ease knowing that the group is in good hands,” Stephen said honestly.
Natalie had dealt with the matter in a mature and swift manner, allowing the company to continue operating seamlessly. With that, Stephen could see that Natalie was adept at managing the company’s affairs.
“Uncle…” Natalie felt a bit embarrassed about her uncle’s words. Compared to an old hand like him, she was still inexperienced.
“I’m going to Snow City to accompany your aunt for a while.” “Aunt?” “Yeah. I won’t be in Simeria for a while. As we agreed before, don’t act recklessly on your e “Alright, I understand.” Stephen and Heather had an extremely good relationship. Despite many years of marriage, they were still inseparable.
end.” However, because of Natalie’s situation, Heather would be staying in Snow City for a long time. It would be the first time Stephen and Heather would be separated for such an extended period.
So, it was only natural for Stephen to go to Heather. novelbin But Simeria…!
Suddenly, Natalie was left alone.
Natalie couldn’t help but feel a sense of emptiness in her heart. The recent events only made. the feeling worse.
Also, the mysterious presence around her made her feel on edge.
Stephen was decisive, and he left as soon as he decided. He took the earliest afternoon flight.
Upon receiving the news, Cedric furrowed his brow.
“Mrs. Jarvis has yet to return, but Mr. Jarvis has now suddenly left Simeria…” In other words, Natalie was the only one left from the Jarvis family in Simeria at the moment.
I was hard to believe that there was nothing significant about this situation.
+25 BONUS What was Stephen planning, or had something happening on Natalie’s side?
“Have you tracked their itinerary?” Cedric asked “No.” Lucas shook his head with a serious expression.
Because Lucas couldn’t track Stephen and Heather’s location, he felt it was a significant issue. Considering the Jarvis family’s status in Simeria, it was impossible for them to leave all at once.
“I got it.” Cedric took a deep drag of his cigarette and added, “Starting now, keep a close eye on Natalie’s activities during the day.” Clearly, Cedric had sensed a problem at this point If Natalie were also to leave, it meant that Stephen must be planning something behind the scenes!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 302-Heartache In the evening, Cedric personally came to pick up Natalie.
When Natalie saw him, her expression wasn’t great. But thinking of Bianca, she reluctantly got into the car.
This time, Cedric didn’t head toward Hillside Villa but directly to Peach Garden.
Upon reaching the entrance, Natalie noticed something different–the lights had all been replaced.
Natalie had to admit that this man was efficient.
It had taken half a month to replace all the lights in Hillside Villa after she returned, but he had managed to change the lights in Peach Garden in just one day.
“How does the lighting feel now?” Cedric asked cautiously as he helped her out of the car.
Natalie looked at their joined hands, her eyes dimming. This morning, he questioned her about Isabella.
Now, he was acting so intimately with her?!
She discreetly pulled her hand away from his.
Feeling the sudden emptiness in his palm, Cedric also felt a void in his chest.
He started to talk, “Nat, actually, things between us-” “It’s not bad,” Natalie said, interrupting him as always did.
That was how it always went.
Whenever Cedric brought up their relationship or Isabella, Natalie interrupted him. Obviously, whether it was between them or among the three of them, Natalie had nothing to say and nothing she wanted to hear.
She didn’t even offer an explanation for what happened last night.
Cedric fell silent.
“I underestimated you,” Natalie said.
The lighting here suited her vision very well.
Do you feel any discomfort?” Cedric asked as if he hadn’t heard the sarcasin in her tone.
Obviously, after learning about Natalie’s vision from Stephen, Cedric felt regretful of his previous actions. He quickly made preparations to replace any light that might irritate her +25 BONUS “No!” Her response was icy.
It was as if Cedric had put in great effort to do something, only to receive no acknowledgment.
in return.
His expression darkened.
“Nat, don’t forget, you should treat me the same way you treat him!” He was referring to Irwin.
Natalie stiffened. Clearly, she didn’t expect Cedric to make such a demand even at this point.
She looked at Cedric mockingly. “I truly underestimated how shameless you could be.” Cedric responded, “If there are no objections, shall we begin now?” Begin what?
Begin treating Cedric the same way she treated Irwin?
He dared to make such a request.
But soon, Cedric struck a nerve.
At the dinner table, the dishes were all the ones Natalie loved from her previous life at Scarlet Villa.
Seeing these dishes, Natalie stiffened, and a shadow passed through her eyes. Instinctively, she glanced at Cedric “What are you looking at?” Cedric smiled, full of indulgence.
And this smile…!
It was different from the one after she woke up in this reborn life. It was indulgent and gentle!
Even the dishes on the table had changed. She remembered that Cedric from her current life. didn’t know what she liked to eat anymore!
This was the first time…!
This was the first time someone had made her favorite dishes from her past life.
Cedric’s voice brought Natalie back to reality, and she shrugged, “It’s nothing” “You wanted to be treated the same way as Irwin right?” Natalie’s smile was gentle, but it caused a flicker of unease in Cedric’s heart, +25 BONUS Natalie picked up a dish he liked and brought it to his l*ps.
“Go on and take a bite.” “Is this how you feed Irwin?” “Yes. Is there a problem?” Was there a problem?
Wasn’t this a problem?!
Cedric’s face instantly turned darker. His gaze remained on Natalie’s face as if he wanted to see through her… but he failed.
He saw nothing.
“What? Don’t you like this approach?” Natalie’s expression turned cold.
Evidently, if he didn’t want her to interact with Irwin in a certain way, she would switch to how they should interact as a couple.
Clenching his fists, Cedric took a fierce bite.
Natalie smiled. “Good.” Then, she offered him another bite of food, The entire process felt so natural, as if this was the usual way she interacted with Irwin.
She was gentle yet ambiguous.
However, Cedric didn’t feel at ease at all.
Throughout dinner, it was almost entirely Natalie feeding him… Even though it was his request, he felt uncomfortable at the end.
Did she really treat Irwin this way…?!
After dinner, Cedric sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
This was the first time…!
He finally couldn’t hold back anymore. He had been resisting smoking in front of Natalie, but he couldn’t suppress the pent–up frustration festering in him now.
Natalie came up behind him and rested her soft hands gently on his shoulders, giving him a light massage that banished fatigue.
+25 BONUS Cedric, however, tensed up. He grabbed her small hands and said, “Do you do this for Irwin. too?” “Yes,” Natalie replied gently.
Yes? Irwin…!
Cedric had demanded Natalie to treat him the same way she treated Irwin. So now, everything she did to him was naturally the same as what she did to Irwin.
Right after she finished speaking..
Cedric’s eyes turned bloodshot, and danger emanated from his gaze.
“Nat..” His voice was stiff and hoarse.
Cedric couldn’t conceal the danger in his voice any longer.
“What’s wrong?” Natalie remained unfazed.
It was rare for him to show such emotions.
Cedric turned his head. Seeing the redness in his eyes, Natalie’s smile deepened.
“Was it too soft?” “Sorry, Irv thinks that this pressure is just nice!” Irv?!
So, Irwin was firmly in between them now?!
With a forceful move, Cedric lifted Natalie from behind the sofa and into his lap.
His slender fingers gently grazed her delicate chin, the crimson in his eyes intensifying.
Even the breath that spilled onto her face was chilling when he spoke.
“I’m so tempted to tear Irwin into pieces now, you know?” “This is what you asked for!” Natalie shot back.
Her tone had also turned cold.
He asked for it?
Cedric laughed…!
What a demand he had made.
What he wanted was how she treated Irwin, not to witness firsthand how she interacted with +25 BONUS “You’re a heartless woman!” Cedric practically hissed through clenched teeth.
Indeed, Natalie was a heartless woman.
He forcefully pressed his lps against hers. The kss was fierce, as if he wanted to devour her whole!
But at the moment he k*ssed her, Natalie endured… the disgust!
Yes, disgust!
Yet, she didn’t push Cedric away.
Instead, she skillfully responded, causing the man who had intended to retaliate fiercely through this means to halt instantly.
He gently pushed her away, meeting her eyes that seemed unfulfilled.
Fury burned in his eyes as he asked, “Is this also how you interact with Irwin?” “Of course. Are you satisfied with my technique…?”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 303-Clues of the Child Her technique?
One that she used with Irwin?
Watching the anger and sorrow in the man’s eyes, a sense of satisfaction flashed through Natalie’s heart.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?” Imitating Cedric, she gently traced his chin with her fingers.
Cedric pinched her mischievous hand.
In the end…!
His powerful hand firmly gripped her slender waist. He placed her onto the sofa and then stood up.
His back exuded loneliness and chill as he ascended the stairs.
When Lucas arriv When Lucas arrived, he immediately sensed that something was amiss in the room.
“Madam…” Lucas greeted her and stepped forward anxiously Natalie smiled. “Oh, you’re here.” “Mr. Johnson, he’s…?” “Not satisfied!” Natalie’s tone was playful.
As a mature man, Lucas easily understood the teasing in Natalie’s tone. However, he didn’t expect Natalie to speak so bluntly.
Lucas went directly upstairs to the study. Upon entering, he immediately smelled a strong smell of smoke.
Cedric sat in the dimly lit room, appearing desolate. The sparks seemed to highlight his current melancholy.
Lucas reached for the light switch, but Cedric stopped him and said, “Don’t turn on the lights!
Mr. Johnson” +25 BONUS Lucas heard the unmistakable pain in the man’s voice and hesitated for a moment.
Only those closest to Cedric knew that he had always been carefree. However, this carefreeness had come to a halt when Natalie appeared.
“I have information about the child.” The room’s lights instantly turned on!
Yet, Lucas still felt like it was not bright enough. He knew Cedric had ordered for the light to be changed for Natalie’s sake. This would allow her to move freely in the Peach Garden at night.
Pushing these thoughts aside, he approached Cedric and handed him a photo.
Cedric accepted it and took a look to find that it was a picture of Heather.
In her arms, she held a pink–swaddled infant. With just one look, Cedric’s eyes narrowed when he turned to Lucas.
“The child?” “Yes, she’s holding the child.” If one didn’t look closely, it was hard to recognize Heather in the photo.
Cedric studied the photo carefully. It was indeed Heather, and in her arms was… a child.
“Where did you find this?” “I found it in a magazine.” The magazine had been published some time ago, Cedric noted. The focus wasn’t on Heather but she happened to be caught in the frame when someone took this photo.
“This photo is from about a year ago…” A year ago!
Cedric silently repeated the timeframe in his mind. The fire at the detention center occurred two years ago, and this photo was from a year ago.
Considering the timing, could it be…?
Cedric’s thoughts raced, and his eyes narrowed further. His b*dy stiffened as he carne to a conclusion.
Nat. And a child… Their child!
Was that their child in Heather’s arms?
Yes, it must bel +25 BONUS “Did you discover anything about Winona?” At this moment, Cedric was unable to conceal his excitement.
Yet, he was also trying to keep his excitement at bay. He feared his hopes might be in vain, and it would simply be a false hope.
Lucas had been by Cedric’s side for a long time. He wouldn’t report something so casually if he wasn’t certain about it.
So, upon seeing this photo, Lucas thoroughly investigated Winona’s whereabouts for the past two years to eliminate any unexpected variables.
He replied, “Ms. Jarvis has been abroad for the past two years and hasn’t returned to Simeria.” The photo was obviously taken in Simeria.
Winona hadn’t returned to Simeria for the past two years, so the child couldn’t be hers.
Cedric’s heart pounded wildly.
His once chaotic thoughts became clear.
“If it’s not Winona’s, it can only be hers.” Cedric was more familiar than Natalie with the relationship between the Jarvis family and Heather’s relatives.
Heather was holding a child in front of a hospital entrance. She wouldn’t hold a child in her arms if it wasn’t Winona’s or Natalie’s.
Since it wasn’t Winona’s, it could only be Natalie’s!
Nat… His Nat…!
It felt like forever before the storm raging in his heart gradually subsided.
Cedric took a deep breath and said, “Don’t alarm her for now. Secretly trace Heather’s whereabouts.” “Yes, sir.” Heather..!
After going abroad with Natalie, she seemed to have disappeared. Natalie had returned alone.
He was well aware that questioning Natalie at this moment would be futile. Doing so would only heighten her wariness towards him.
Hence, they had to keep it quiet for now and secretly track Heather’s trail.
The child must be with Heather.
+25 BONUS Otherwise, why didn’t Heather return to Simeria?
Heather and Stephen had been inseparable since their marriage. The fact that they were living separately now meant that something big had happened.
Lucas nodded. “Yes, sir.” After a moment of thought, he added, “Oh, there’s one more thing.” “What is it?” “I found something strange when looking into Ms. Jarvis‘ connection with the child.” “Something strange?” “Ms. Jarvis is in Luxoria. For the past two years, she’s been living in the slums over there.” “The largest slum in Luxoria?” “Yes.” Cedric frowned.
This matter was far from normal.
Winona was the Jarvis family’s only daughter, but she had been living in the slums for two years?!
Why?
He glanced at Lucas, who continued, “And it seemed that her life has been quite difficult!” novelbin Cedric was once again stunned.
Winona was living a difficult life?!
That seemed impossible…!
Although Stephen’s inexplicable kindness to Natalie before had been quite extraordinary, it shouldn’t surpass that of his own daughter.
However, Lucas’s reports repeatedly reminded Cedric that everything two years ago was not as simple as he had thought.
The sharp glint in his eyes intensified, and he said, “Just investigate quietly to find out what’s going on.” Even though Winona living in the slums of Luxaria wouldn’t directly affect them, it was still better to clarify some things.
Especially considering Natalie’s current status..
+25 BONUS And since Cedric intended to stay by her side, there were naturally many things that he needed to prepare.
Everything Stephen had provided for her was not so straightforward!
And maybe Stephen was trying his best to hide something…!
Or perhaps… Had he exiled Winona?
Everything was uncertain.
“Yes, sir.” Lucas saw Cedric’s stern expression and understood the seriousness of the situation.
Before everything was investigated, no one should draw conclusions.
What happened two years ago before Natalie returned to Simeria? Why hadn’t they heard any news after they arrived in Simeria?!
What was hidden behind the Jarvis family’s attitude towards Natalie and Winona?
One couldn’t be too careless about everything!
Natalie woke up early the next morning. She was surprised and didn’t expect to see Cedric in the dining room. So, she walked over with an unpleasant look on her face and took a seat at the table.
Cedric took note of her expression, then hesitantly asked, “Where did your uncle go?”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 304-Bianca’s Whereabouts When Natalie heard Cedric’s question, she stiffened!
Why do you ask?” Stephen had gone to Snow City, where Heather was.
Of course, she couldn’t tell Cedric that.
Heather was helping her manage things in Snow City, and Stephen had gone over there to accompany her.
Natalie didn’t want to disclose the matters in Snow City to Cedric, so she couldn’t tell him where Stephen had gone.
Judging by Natalie’s reaction, Cedric knew she wouldn’t easily reveal it.
He took a deep breath and said, “I have an important project in hand, and your uncle might be interested.” “Then wait for him to come back.” “But time is of the essence.” Natalie stiffened again.
Looking at Cedric, she raised an eyebrow nonchalantly and said, partner of yours.” “But it’s a project worth over a hundred billion.” “Then transfer it to another “Then you can talk directly to me, can’t you?” Natalie looked at the man across from her with clear, bright eyes.
She had somehow learned to read people.
Cedric had presented such a huge temptation, but why would he want to talk to Stephen about any important projects?
He had probably never thought of collaborating with Stephen before.
So, bringing up project collaboration at this time was undoubtedly an attempt to find out Stephen’s whereabouts from her.
This man, hah… “You’re just the deputy CEO of Regal Horizons. You probably can’t make the decisions,” Cedric said.
“In that case, there’s nothing more to discuss!” Natalie said bluntly, leaving Cedric momentarily stunned.
He thought she might arrogantly talk about her current position at Regal Horizons International. But upon reflection, Natalie herself was a relatively low–profile person.
+25 BONUS 25 BO At this point Cedric probably also understood that getting anything from Natalie wouldn’t be easy.
The cunning woman had become shrewd.
The topic shifted in another direction as Cedric said, “I didn’t expect you to handle that matter so smoothly!” Natalie froze. She naturally knew what Cedric was referring to. The previously harmonious atmosphere now became tense.
“You also played a part in it, so thanks for your cooperation.” He was talking about the issue involving Isabella The public would have eagerly anticipated a drama between a divorced couple, especially if children were involved.
It was a pity to those who were waiting for it, but Natalie and Cedric didn’t have a child. Because of that, people naturally assumed that Natalie was the most despicable person among the three of them.
“Nat, about that-” “Isabella is still in Morina Hotel, right?” Natalie interrupted him, her tone still displeased.
What about this matter?
She didn’t want to hear Cedric’s explanation anymore. Just recalling that Cedric had warned. her not to touch Isabella was enough to clarify everything.
Isabella was important to him.
“Yeah.” Cedric nodded gloomily. Without waiting for Natalie to speak, Cedric continued, “Rest assured, I’ll make her leave Simeria as soon as possible.” Make Isabella leave Simeria?
Natalie’s warm smile became mocking.
Making a woman who was pregnant with his own child leave Simeria?
Cedric.!
She didn’t find it comforting at all.
+25 BONUS It only reinforced the notion in her mind that Cedric’s feelings were not something many people could afford.
“I think you’re mistaken. The most important issue between us doesn’t actually lie with Isabella,” Natalie said coldly.
Cedric was silent.
It wasn’t Isabella?
Then, who was it?!
Right, it was Blanca.
Natalie was in Peach Garden now because he knew Bianca’s whereabouts. It was an uneasy relationship between them to start, but she was now constantly reminding him of why she had accepted getting involved with him now.
Isabella used to be the key between them, and he had been confident that she still was!
But he was wrong.
He was wholly and utterly wrong.
Natalie was different from the past, and even more different from the woman he knew in another lifetime.
Cedric looked at the woman before him. The determination in his eyes deepened, and the chill intensified. He felt his obsession grew stronger… and his persistence even more so.
“You truly are heartless!” She was heartless, cold, and unwilling to compromise even slightly.
When did it start? When did things between them deteriorate to this extent?
“You’re the same!” Natalie retorted.
Once, he had treated her that way. Now, he was doing it to Isabella. She pitied her past self and felt regret for the present Isabella.
As Cedric had expected, that was how Natalie now felt about their relationship!
“I’ve finished eating. I’m heading to the company.” Natalle stood as Cedric’s face turned colder. But just as she turned around, Cedric called out, Natalie, if it weren’t for Stephen, would you still be so arrogant now?” Are you suggesting I was with you from the beginning just for money?” Natalie sarcastically asked, and this sarcasm ultimately wounded Cedric’s heart.
+25 BONUS He sat in the dining chair, watching Natalie’s proud figure. He opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything in the end.
Natalie left.
She didn’t recall how she left the villa, but Leon was waiting for her in the car.
He glanced at Natalie’s pale face and frowned. “Are you okay?” “Yeah, I’m fine.” Leon said, “I’ve found some information about Ms. Sanders.” Originally, she was somewhat downtrodden. But the moment she heard Leon’s words, she instantly became alert.
“What is it?” After hearing Leon’s words, Natalie didn’t realize she had become so tense.
Leon looked at her solemnly and said, “The Entes family might be involved.” “The Entes family?” “Yes, ma’am.” The Entes family?!
Recently, she had just secured a collaboration with the Entes family’s sixth son.
Now, she found out that Bianca’s disappearance was likely related to the Entes family?!
Then… was it related to the sixth son?
Before she could speak, Leon continued, “And Mr. Johnson seems to have continuous connections with the Entes family.” “Cedric?” “Yes.” Natalie was speechless.
Her mind was in chaos, Originally, she couldn’t see everything clearly around her. Now that some things were revealed, it seemed even more chaotic for her.
She had been in Simeria for a full two years and naturally knew what kind of existence the Entes family was in Simeria.
She glanced at Leon and said, “Keep looking into it.” +25 BONUS “Make sure to find Bianca in the shortest time possible!” She recalled the photos of Bianca that Cedric had shown her before. She had to admit that just thinking about those two photos, she knew Bianca’s situation was very bad.
Now that she finally got a lead, she naturally wanted to find Bianca immediately.
“First, take me back to Peach Garden.” “You…” “If it’s the Entes family, then we need to hurry even more.” And now, the only way to save time was Cedric.
Although Natalie thought Cedric was untrustworthy, she didn’t have any other option right now!novelbin
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 305-Jealousy At Peach Garden, it took Cedric quite a while to recover from his momentary daze.
He must have lost his mind earlier to have said those things to Natalie…!
Back then, he and Natalie had been together for seven years, and she still didn’t know his true identity. She only knew about it when Rebecca had come knocking on their door…!
So, how could he have implied that she had gotten together with him for money?
“Madam, you’re back.” Cedric heard the butler’s respectful voice from outside and snapped out of his thoughts.
With clear anger in her voice, Natalie retorted, “You need to change how you address me, or I’ll ensure you’re out of a job immediately.” Her tone was arrogant and domineering, but Cedric couldn’t help but smile with indulgence.
If she had a sliver of her current temper in her previous life, those who had bullied her then would have paid the price.
Unfortunately… She had been so gentle and obedient back then.
Until the very end, when she lost her sight, her most resolute act was to propose a divorce.
Natalie walked into the room with the butler following nervously behind her.
The smile remained on Cedric’s l*ps, looking more indulgent than ever.
“Did you forget anything important?” “Who is it?” Natalie said, cutting to the chase.
Cedric looked at her frosty expression, the amusement in his eyes gradually fading away.
Naturally, he knew what Natalie was asking about.
There were only a few things right now that would cause Natalie to lose her composure, one of it was information about Bianca.
and Nothing relating to him would affect Natalie, not even Isabella.
Cedric couldn’t discern the true nature of her feelings towards him at the moment, but it was crystal clear when it came to Bianca.
Bianca was crucial to her.
+25 BONUS She was more crucial than anyone else.
If he could, Cedric wanted to take Natalie back to their past life, back to when they were in love.
“It was the Entes family, right?” Seeing how Cedric remained silent, Natalie’s tone grew even colder.
Cedric’s expression changed.
Looking at Natalie’s eyes, he saw a sharpness he hadn’t expected.
“It seems I’ve underestimated the people around you,” Cedric said in a somewhat chilling tone.
Clearly, he hadn’t expected the people Stephen sent to Natalie to have such capabilities. He didn’t expect they would find clues leading them to the Entes family.
If they could discover something about the Entes family, who knew what else they could do?
Things were different now!
He had known that Natalie was different from her past self. But now, watching her, he felt even more convinced she was beyond his control.
Natalie gazed at the dim light in Cedric’s eyes, and her heart grew colder.
“Was it really the Entes family?” “Natalie, now that you know it’s the Entes family, you should also know what kind of people Bianca has offended.” Natalie stayed silent.
The Entes family!
They controlled almost everything in Simeria, and Natalie knew that.
Everyone knew what kind of existence the Entes family had in Simeria. Every member of their family held a dominant position in various fields in their current generation.
They were such a vast and powerful family.
Even Natalie wouldn’t dare provoke any member of the Entes family if they were before her.
She never expected Bianca to have offended such a family. What was there to say about her?
Natalie met Cedtic’s eyes and asked coldly, “Who was it?” Even after Cedric’s revelation and although he mentioned the influential figure behind this matter, Natalie still insisted on knowing.
+25 BONUS “Natalie!” Cedric spoke again, his tone colder.
“Who was it?” “Do you still need to ask?” “Yes!” “Is she that important to you?” Was Bianca important enough that Natalie insisted on asking who took her away, even when she knew who they were?
Yes, she was!
Cedric had practically hissed those words through gritted teeth.
It seemed like Bianca’s importance in Natalie’s heart had surpassed everything. Natalie looked at the man before her.
From her past life to the present, Bianca was the only constant in her life. Everything else had changed, but Bianca was always there.
In Natalie’s past life, Bianca was the only pillar in her world. In this life, Bianca continued to hold that position as well.
“Yes, Bianca is very important to me. Her significance exceeds everything else,” Natalie stated.
Bianca’s importance to her even surpassed Cedric’s.
Cedric naturally caught the implications in the latter part of her statement. His eyes grew darker, and the atmosphere between them became colder.
The air seemed to freeze, and everyone present held their breath, fearing they might be affected.
The two locked eyes for what felt like an eternity.
A buzzing sound interrupted the intense atmosphere–the ringing of a phone.
Cedric took out his phone, and the screen displayed the name ‘Bella.‘ Natalie also saw it.
The already cold atmosphere turned even frostier Natalie smirked. “The importance of Bianca in my heart is just like Isabella’s importance in your heart!” Cedric remained silent at her words. When he heard her words, he couldn’t help but tremble.
sanger burned brightly in his eyes as he looked at Natalin.
“What kind of existence do you think Isabella is in my heart?” He asked mockingly.
Natalie raised an eyebrow. “What, do you need me to remind you?” novelbin +25 BONUS From the past life to the present, Isabella had occupied a very important place by his side. It was a fact that Natalie probably didn’t need to remind him of.
However, what Natalie didn’t anticipate is that even so, Cedric would still pester her like this!
After arriving in this new life, Natalie always felt she couldn’t understand Cedric.
And now… she felt even more clueless, especially about what was on his mind or what he was hiding behind him.
Even his feelings… she had never understood them.
Without waiting for the man to say anything, Natalie turned away.
At this point, she knew she couldn’t get anything from Cedric. The once open and honest relationship had become one filled with secrets on both sides.
She wouldn’t confess everything to Cedric, and he, in turn, would never be open with her.
She got into the car, and Leon saw how pale she was. The concern was evident in his eyes asked, “How was it?” “Let’s go to the company first,” Natalie replied in an unpleasant tone.
eyes as he Hearing Natalie’s response, Leon understood she likely hadn’t obtained any information.
useful Cedric’s car zoomed past them, which showed how important Isabella’s affairs were to him.
Natalie’s l*ps curled into a cold smile.
What could she say about this man?
In her past life, witnessing him go after Isabella would cause her pain.
But now, she only found the situation ridiculous.
Perhaps, as she had just told Cedric, he wasn’t as important to her now as Bianca was.
However, Isabella’s position in his heart, both in this life and the past, had numbed her once peaceful heart.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 306- The Sixth Lord When Natalie arrived at the company, the first thing she did was call Wendy into her office.
At this moment, Natalie was standing by the French windows. The air around her was cold, and Wendy had never seen Natalie like this before.
Wendy tensed up when Natalie turned to look at her!
“Wendy.” “Yes, ma’am!” “Help me arrange a meeting with the sixth lord!
The sixth lord was the Entes family’s sixth son, Malcolm Entes.
In Simeria, people referred to him as the sixth lord. Malcolm held a more significant position than the other members of the Entes family because of the things he controlled, which no one else could match.
Even Stephen would show him great respect when meeting him.
It was also why Stephen was relieved and worried when Natalie secured a collaboration with Malcolm.
He was relieved because she independently completed such a significant project collaboration. But he worried because Malcolm was not an easy person to deal with.
Those who knew Malcolm only had one way to describe him–ruthless and cruel!
At this moment, Natalie even prayed in her heart and hoped it wasn’t Malcolm.
If Bianca had truly provoked him, Natalie would probably understand why Cedric always said. she couldn’t handle this matter.
But if it was really Malcolm…!
Natalie couldn’t help but close her eyes when the thought crossed her mind.
In less than half an hour, Wendy came to report.
“Ms. Walker, the sixth lord is currently in Snow City. He’s expected to return in three days.” “Three days?” “Yes, three days!” Three days… He was in Snow City?
+25 BONUS Natalie furrowed her brows tightly.
Thinking about Bianca being in the hands of the Entes family, Natalie would worry regardless. if it was three days or three hours.
When she had no clues, she endlessly searched for them. Now that she finally found a lead, she naturally wanted to bring Bianca back immediately.
Her breathing became slightly heavier.
Ring! Ring!
The internal line rang, and Wendy answered the phone with a gesture from Natalie.
“Yes?” “Mr. Frazier is here.” When Natalie heard it was Irwin, her frown deepened.
Evidently, her current situation was…!
But she still asked her people to show him in.
After hanging up the phone, Wendy looked at Natalie, and Natalie said, “You can leave first!” “Yes, ma’am!” Wendy nodded and left.
When Natalie was left alone in her office, she lit a cigarette. Her mind was filled with thoughts of the Entes family.
In a short period, she went through everyone in the Entes family in her mind.
She had to admit that the people of the Entes family were not easy to deal with.
When Irwin entered, he saw Natalie’s serious expression.
When she saw Irwin, Natalie instinctively put out the cigarette in her hand.
However, Irwin said, “If Aunt found out about that, you’ll have to endure a month of her nagging.” And wasn’t that the truth?
Natalie approached the couch and sat down.
“Well, Aunt isn’t here now. Why are you here?” Irwin looked at her with a hint of gentle indulgence in the corner of his eyes. The emotion, however, didn’t reach the depths of his eyes.
Natalie asked, “Why are you loolding at me like that?” +25 BONUS Undoubtedly, she was more accustomed to Irwin’s serious appearance. She remembered back in Verde City when she worked to secure the project with this man.
At that time, his serious face almost drained all her courage.
However, a severe glint appeared in Irwin’s eyes in the next moment.
This made Natalie freeze for a moment!.
“Tell Leon not to dig any deeper.” Natalie was speechless. She was already frozen, but she became even more unresponsive upon hearing Irwin’s words.
After a long while, she finally asked, “What do you mean?” “Lord Malcolm was the one who took Bianca away. You know what kind of person he is, right?” Natalie was silent, and her breathing became involuntarily heavy.
Her heart surged uncontrollably at his words.
“When did y “When did you find out?” She almost couldn’t hear her own voice.
Leon had just obtained the lead, yet Irwin was already here!
Or had he, like Cedric, already knew early on?
Was she the only one who didn’t know?!
They..!
Irwin replied, “I’ve known all along “You…” ‘Nat, I know exactly what Bianca means to you.” Cedric wasn’t the only one who knew what Natalie would do for Bianca.
Irwin also knew, and Stephen… also knew!
Natalie looked at the man before her and once again felt lost.
It had already been difficult to see things clearly around her, but now… everything was even more blurry!
She hated this kind of ambiguity.
The people around her seemned to be wearing masks, and she was the same!
Before she could speak, Irwin continued, “I wasn’t the only one who knew. Cedric knew, and your uncle… also knew!” “Uncle ?” “Your uncle knew from the beginning.” From the beginning? When was that?
So, when Bianca first disappeared, Stephen had already known?!
There was a suffocating feeling in her chest when Natalie thought about it.
Everyone knew… Did they know exactly what Bianca was going through?!
They knew that that person had taken Bianca and that she was constantly facing threats to her life.
Yet, despite all this, no one told her?!
Natalie’s chest felt increasingly constricted!
“Is that… the reason none of you told me?” “Nat, you know what kind of existence the Entes family is in Simeria, right?!” Yes, she knew.
But even if she knew, what difference did it make?
She clenched her fist tightly and trembled uncontrollably.
These people…!
Irwin had expected her reaction. He walked over to the couch and sat down beside her. Then, he reached out and took her cold hand, slowly prying open her tightly clenched fist. He soothed her cold hands and tried to share his warmth with her.
Natalie pulled away unconsciously, obviously wanting to put some distance between them!
“Are you angry?” Irwin’s tone remained indulgent as he observed her, but it also carried an invisible firmness.
Natalie turned her head away, refusing to look at Irwin anymore.
“Since you know it was Lord Malcolm, you should also know you have no control over this matter!
Why “Why what?” “Why did he take Bianca?” Since they all knew that Malcolm had taken Bianca, they must know the reasons behind it!
This moment left Natalie deeply shaken, and what surprised her was the coldness in these people’s hearts.
Perhaps, that’s just how they were–indifferent to matters that had nothing to do with them… Indifferent to life and death…!
Especially Irwin! He was even more terrifying!
From how he knew about Leon digging into the Entes family, it was evident that Irwin had a complete grasp of everything happening around her.
This level of control was chilling.
If Leon hadn’t found clues about Bianca, Irwin probably wouldn’t have told her anything.
At this moment, everything she thought she knew became so unfamiliar to Natalie. Not just the masks that everyone wore around her… even their inner thoughts…!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 307-Guardians in the Shadows novelbin Irwin glanced at her with a serious glint in his eyes.
Taking her small hand again, he gently rubbed her icy fingertips.
“Before Leon investigated Bianca, all traces of her work were erased.” “You knew about that too?” “Nat…!” “Irv, I told you, right?” “What?” “Withdraw the people you have around me!” Natalie felt very uncomfortable with such comprehensive monitoring. Even though she knew Irwin had no malicious intent, she disliked it.
At this moment, she even expressed strong resistance.
Irwin looked at her. In his eyes, there was a habitual indulgence. However, this kind of indulgence was so profound that it was impenetrable.
Natalie didn’t like this feeling at all.
Irwin said, “I’m not at ease when he’s around!” Irwin was referring to Cedric!
Without waiting for Natalie to speak, Irwin continued, “Do you remember how bad the rain. was that day when you drove? Didn’t you ever wonder why you were fine? Did you think it was a coincidence?” “You…” Natalie looked at Irwin in shock, evidently unable to believe it.
That day on the road, she could hardly see anything clearly. She could only see the car in front of her, and it was only because it had been flashing its hazard lights.
The car was going in the same direction as her, so she followed those hazard lights until the split at Peach Garden, where the car finally left.
She thought it was a coincidence that the car had gone to the same place as her. She also thought the person in the car had an emergency and had been using the hazard lights for convenience:
+25 BONUS But now, when Irwin mentioned it, a simple sentence instantly overturned all her protests.
“But by having someone constantly watch me like this, I…” “Have I ever harmed you in any way?
“No!” He had never done anything like that before!
Even so, being constantly monitored in such a comprehensive way made her uncomfortable. However, he was also constantly protecting her from danger all the time.
It was different than when she was in Verde City In Verde City, he would always appear in front of her as soon as possible whenever she was in danger..
However, things were different here. After returning to Simeria, Irwin seemed to be overwhelmed with endless tasks.
Even so, he still thwarted all the dangers that sought to harm her.
“Irv…” Natalie took a deep breath, and her tone had softened slightly.
Obviously, she didn’t expect this from Irwin..
“It’s different from when you were in Verde City. Back then, the dangers you faced were insignificant. But now, in your current position, danger can come from all directions.” From all directions?!
So, her surroundings may seem calm now. But in reality, all the dangers here were more serious and complex than in Verde City.
At this moment, Natalie looked at Irwin, unsure of what to say.
Before she could speak, Irwin said, “That’s enough of that. I’m here today because of Ms. Sanders‘ matter.
It was for no other reason!
With a simple sentence, he diverted the topic away from the people he had placed around her.
When Irwin mentioned Bianca, Natalie instantly pushed Irwin’s surveillance of her to the back of her mind.
Her complexion had already been stormy, and it darkened even more once Bianca was mentioned +25 BONUS Irwin continued, “You’really can’t do anything about it!” “But why was she taken?!” Now that it was brought up, Natalie naturally wanted answers.
Irwin glanced at her and finally said, “It’s because of her work.” “Her work?” “When she was still working in Verde City, she fought a legal battle against a woman named Faye Winters.” Faye Winters?
The name sounded somewhat familiar.
Wait, wasn’t she… “Wasn’t she the second young mistress of the Lloyd family?” remember her?” “Yes, she…” Fayee divorced the Lloyd family’s second son. Later, she supposedly jumped off a building because she lost the lawsuit.
Natalie recalled that this incident had caused quite a stir in Verde City and was a topic of discussion for a long time.
Suddenly, Natalie remembered! Bianca had been acting lawyer for Faye’s husband during that lawsuit!
So, it was because of that lawsuit and Faye…?!
“What was Faye’s relationship with Lord Malcolm?” Wasn’t she the second young mistress of the Lloyd family?
Natalie was obviously shocked. Irwin looked at her and explained, “Lord Malcolm studied in Verde City for a while. Back then, he promised to marry Faye.” That was just… In the end, he didn’t return to Verde City at the agreed time due to some reasons. Faye didn’t know his true identity. After waiting for several years without seeing him, she thought she couldn’t wait any longer and got married. She never saw Lord Malcolm again.
The more Natalie heard, the tighter her heart became.
+25 BONUS “So, Lord Malcolm didn’t actually break his promise, did he? Something hindered him from returning at the agreed time, right?” “Yes.” Now Natalie understood everything.
Without saying it, this was…!
To Malcolm, Faye held the same position that Isabella held in Cedric’s heart. She was a presence that couldn’t be replaced by anything else.
If Cedric could even throw his legally wedded wife into prison for Isabella, what would Malcolm do to Bianca, who had caused Faye to lose her life because of a lost lawsuit?
It was no wonder…!
Natalie now fully understood why every photo Cedric showed her was so horrifying. Those were real snapshots of Bianca in Malcolm’s hands!
She was now…1 The more she thought, the tighter Natalie’s heart became.
at you c do anything about this, you know?” Irwin said solemnly.
Indeed, there was nothing she could do.
Especially now that she knew the whole story, Natalie was even more aware that she couldn’t influence this matter in any way.
But… so what if that was the case?
Natalie took a deep breath and said, “Irv, can you help me?” The glint in Irwin’s eyes deepened.
Natalie knew that when Irwin said she couldn’t handle it, it meant she couldn’t handle it, not that he couldn’t.
Irwin was the master of Maple Peak. His was a presence that even the Entes family feared, so Irwin could certainly do something about it.
The two locked eyes for a long time.
After a long while, Natalie felt guilt gnaw at her heart. “I’m sorry. I just…” She was simply too worried about Bianca.
Even if Irwin feared nothing from the Entes family, getting involved in this matter would What kind of person was Malcolm?
Just listening to the rumors was enough to know that he was a ruthless and cold–hearted man!
Bianca had provoked such a formidable figure, and getting her out of his clutches would be difficult!
However, before she could finish her sentence, Irwin pressed his slender fingers to his l*ps to silence her.
Natalie narrowed her eyes as she stared intensely at the man before her.
The man’s breath gently brushed against her face, carrying an almost enchanting allure.
“I can help you, but…” Bang!
Before Irwin could finish his sentence, someone forcefully slammed the office door open from outside.
Natalie jolted in surprise at the sound. She looked towards the entrance and saw Cedric, standing at the doorway with a mix of shock and anger.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 308- The Explanation He Wants.
Cedric stood at the office door, his gaze fixed on the scene inside. His eyes were narrowed, and anger burned throughout his b*dy.
His chest heaved continuously as he hissed through gritted teeth, “Natalie!” At the sound of her name, Natalie snapped back to reality, instinctively distancing herself from Irwin.
Irwin turned to look at Cedric with a fleeting hint of provocation in his deep gaze.
Cedric’s already enraged eyes now glowed a burning crimson.
“Irv, you should go back for now,” Natalie said as she stood up. She could already feel a headache coming on.
Didn’t Cedric go to Isabella?
Wait… why did she suddenly feel like she had done something wrong?
Damn it!
Irwin didn’t make things difficult for Natalie. He stood up and glanced at her before touching her soft hair.
In a doting tone, he said, “I’ll consider your request from earlier. Think about what you can offer me in return.” Natalie’s chest tightened.
Irwin wanted something in return, and… they both knew exactly what he wanted.
Before Natalie could respond, Cedric had already entered her office and forcefully pushed Irwin’s hand away from her head.
“Her only request to you is to get lost!” “Cedric!” Natalie’s tone was solemn. At this moment, not only did her head ache, but she also felt an overwhelming urge to tear Cedric apart!
What on earth was this damn man saying?!
Her chest heaved continuously in anger.
The scene at this moment was unprecedentedly chaotic.
Irwin was usually a serious man, and he was now looking at Cedric with a mocking expression.
“The person she most wants to get lost is you!” Cedric and Natalie were speechless.
This was the first time they had seen Irwin fighting back against someone so bluntly. After dropping a bombshell, he left, leaving Natalie to clean up the mess on her own.
Now, only Natalie and Cedric were left in her office. Natalie lit a cigarette and started smoking.
She looked at Cedric with an unreadable expression on her face.
Cedric was already irritated, and he became even more furious at her silence.
“Don’t you have anything to say to me?” “Do I need to explain myself to you?” Natalie’s tone was icy, and it caused Cedric to t up further.
This damn woman!
Their eyes met, and they stared intensely at each other.
Cedric was angry, and Natalie was indifferent.
When did she start being so fearless in such matters?!
Undoubtedly, Cedric… couldn’t react!
In his previous life, he had never divorced Natalie. His mind was stuck in that time, so… Did what he just witnessed count as Natalie cheating?
“Natalie, you weren’t like this before!” Right after he said those words, the temperature dropped several degrees.
Natalie’s gaze towards him grew even colder at his words.
He had said similar things to her before.
Back then, how had she responded?
“Do you remember what I was like before? I could say the same of you! You weren’t like this before!” Cedric was silent. At her words, he stiffened. novelbin They stared at each other, and a myriad of emotions flashed through his eyes.
He couldn’t stop his hands from trembling as he grabbed Natalie’s collar.
Sheat “Nat? You…” She what?
What was he trying to say?
It was already absurd that he could come to this world, but he was also somewhat grateful for the chance.
But… was Natalie the same?!
Cedric looked at Natalie, trying hard to find something in her eyes.
However, he found nothing.
Her eyes were like the vast expanse of stars and seas. It was so deep that he couldn’t discern anything.
Natalie gripped his wrist, feeling the strong and powerful pulse. Slowly, she pulled his hand down, and Cedric let her go.
The scrutiny in his eyes grew more intense.
Was it really her?
Since coming here, since seeing her again… he felt that everything about her was different.
Everything had changed..
She was no longer the Natalie from his previous life. But if she were the same as him, that would explain the changes in her.
He hoped she was the same woman from his previous life.
But at the same time, he didn’t want that.
Because if this Natalie was from his previous life Then, the conflicts and gaps between them would be deeper and harder to bridge.” “Nat.” “What?” “Do you think… people can come back to life after death?” When he asked this question, Cedric looked into Natalie’s eyes.
However, he was disappointed once again.
Natalie’s answer was nonchalant and indifferent “I think you’re still dreaming!” Come back to life?
No! He believed that people could come back to life because of his rebirth.
In her eyes, Cedric saw only disappointment and nothing more.
Even so, he didn’t give up.
After taking a deep breath, he suppressed the heaviness in his chest.
He wouldn’t repeat this question.
Instead, he asked, “What did you and Irwin talk about just now?” He deliberately avoided thinking about the scene between Natalie and Irwin and only focused on what Irwin said to her before leaving.
Irwin had said he would consider it.
But what would he consider?
Bianca’s situation?
But what did he want in return? It was easy to guess!
A cold glint flashed in Cedric’s eyes.
Cedric was sharp as always, and he quickly figured out the reasons in a short time.
Irwin…!
“It has nothing to do with you!” Natalie replied.
That was right. It truly had nothing to do with Cedric!.
Previously, Natalie had only agreed to interact with Cedric because he had information about Bianca.
And now, it would end also because of Bianca!
Irwin had brought news about Bianca, so Natalie wouldn’t need to put up with Cedric anymore.
When he heard her cold response, Cedric said, “Don’t agree with him. He only has impure Intentions toward you!” “Hahl Impure intentions?
Natalie sneered and said, “Do you remember the storm when we drove to Peach Garden last “What do you mean?” When Natalie suddenly brought up the incident when she drove during the storm, it caused Cedric to stiffen subconsciously.
Natalie continued, “That day, it wasn’t that we were lucky to escape unharmed. It was because…” “Because what?” When Natalie brought up the storm that day and Irwin, it made Cedric’s heart race, and a thick. sense of unease overwhelmed him.
Natalie was looking at him with an unprecedented calmness, yet Cedric could feel the mockery in her silence.
Natalie continued, “It was because Irwin’s people were driving in front of me. They turned on the hazard lights and guided us all the way to the Peach Garden intersection.
They had avoided heavy traffic and stayed in front of her, allowing her to see clearly and maintaining a speed she could keep up with.
Cedric was silent.
At this moment, it felt like his world had collapsed on him. Even his heart felt like it had been crushed!
Undoubtedly, in Natalie’s heart, Irwin was the one who always protected her thoroughly. Meanwhile, Cedric… had pushed her time and time again into dangerous situations!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 309-Never Been Right Cedric looked at Natalie, and she also stared back at him.
They stared intensely at each other, and their hearts tightened rapidly…!
“Nat, I… That day, actually…” “What? If I had told you, would you have driven yourself?” Cedric was rendered speechless.
In a situation where she remained silent and faced potential emergencies, Irwin could still help her avoid all dangers.
And Cedric?
She had been right there in front of him.
He had considered himself the most important person in her life. But in the end…!
“I’m sorry.” Natalie was silent.
Cedric was apologizing?!
What a miracle!
Cedric had never apologized to anyone, yet he was doing so right now! To her! 2 It was more than a miracle!
“I accept your apology.” She said it casually, but Cedric knew this ease was because she didn’t mean it.
The two of them faced each other in silence. Cedric tightened his grip on her. He couldn’t novelbin conceal the pain in his eyes, and Natalie frowned at him.
“Was that also wrong?” “You” Well, I’ve never been right anyway!” Cedric was silent.
Never been right?
That was true!)
In the past, Cedric had never listened to her seriously, no matter what she said.
But now, what right did he have to blame her?
Now, they couldn’t talk about the past. If they did, they would surely be at odds.
Just then, Isabella called again!
Natalie smiled, “See, now there’s more than just Irwin between us!” Isabella had always been between them.
Unable to bear it any longer, Cedric smashed the phone!
The fragments scattered, and one particularly large one scratched Natalie’s leg.
Blood oozed out from her wound, and Cedric’s chest tightened at the sight.
“Nat…” Concern was evident in his tone.
+25 BONUS He instinctively wanted to check her injury, but Natalie turned around and coldly said, “Do you want to check my injuries again?” What did this small injury matter now, compared to the ones she had suffered two years ago?
That was the implication behind her words.
She had survived injuries that had almost burned her to death!
When did it start? Since when did being near him mean she would be in danger of getting hurt?!
At the presidential suite in Morina Hotel, Isabella handed the phone to Lily after hearing the call go to voicemail.
Lily dialed again and handed the phone to Isabella.
Isabella’s face was pale, and she felt numb.
When she heard the call go straight to voicemail, she breathed a sigh of relief inwardly and returned the phone to Lily.
“It’s off.” In an instant, the atmosphere around Lily turned cold.
She said, “The master said he doesn’t care how you do it. You must get Mr. Johnson to come to you today.
+25 BONUS “He’s with Natalie again, isn’t he?” Isabella said coldly.
Lily remained silent.
But Isabella smiled!
She probably guessed that every time she was asked to contact Cedric, it meant Cedric was with Natalie.
Lily asked, “Do you have any other way to contact him?” “No!” Isabella said without hesitation.
She had lost all patience. She had done so much for that person, and so far, she hadn’t seen that child.
How could she not be angry?
However, that child was her weakness that constantly tugged at her heart. It made her no longer able to think independently Immediately, Lily played a recording for Isabella to hear. The hysterical tone in that recording made Isabella’s heart pound.
She slammed the phone hard and screamed, “He’s a bastard!” “Do you have any other way?” Isabella’s chest heaved continuously, and her face turned significantly paler.
Did she?!
“Lily.” Before Isabella could speak, a maid called out to Lily from outside.
Lily’s face turned cold again. “What is it?” “There’s a lady here to see Ms. Isabella. She says her name is Ms. Carter.” Ms. Carter?
Rebecca Carter!
Rebecca had gone hysterical two years ago and wanted to destroy everything because of Cedric’s imprisonment.
Now, she was here to see Isabella?!
Here’s your chance.” In an instant, Lily’s icy demeanor disappeared as she said to Isabella, “She’s a key figure. I +25 BONUS She was referring to Isabella’s abilities not only to captivate men but also to handle their families.
Isabella already felt uneasy, and the heavy feeling in her chest only intensified after hearing Lily’s words.
Lily left, and soon, Rebecca entered. When she looked at Isabella, her expression was cold and hard.
After a moment, Rebecca said, “I didn’t expect we’d have the chance to meet again.” “Yes. I thought you’d never want to see me again in this lifetime.” Two years ago, Christina went to prison. Cedric also went to prison. The once glorious Johnson family in Verde City seemed to have fallen in that moment.
Rebecca was the most infuriated.
However, Isabella also thought this woman was truly pitiful. Rebecca had spent her entire life planning her children’s path for them, but she never knew what was best for them.
She also never understood her children.
Two years ago, the Johnson family was shattered If it weren’t for Ivan’s favor supporting her, Isabella believed this woman would have rushed to her and torn her apart with her bare hands.
Rebecca would have done it, even if her hands weren’t exactly clean from all the deeds she had done in the past.
Rebecca pulled out a chair and sat down before Isabella. The distance between the two decreased, and Isabella could clearly feel the older woman’s unstable breathing.
“Are you here to have me take Christina’s place in prison?” Isabella asked bluntly.
Yes, Christina!
Although Christina wasn’t Rebecca’s biological daughter, Rebecca had always treated her as her own.
Even after the events of two years ago, Rebecca was still contemplating how to get Christina out Despite claiming it was for the Johnson family’s reputation, the girl she had raised held a special place in her heart. Even though she scolded and punished her, Rebecca still held affection for the young girl.
Justead of responding to Isabella’s question, Rebecca said, “Isabella, leave Cedric!” Isabella was silent, but she smiled somewhat sadly after a few moments.
Before she could speak, Rebecca continued, “I know you got close to him for revenge against Natalie. I just didn’t expect you to develop feelings for him. If you truly love him, stop harming him.” Cedric’s head belonged to Natalie.
As long as Isabella persisted in entangling herself with them, they would never have a good.
life.
Isabella sneered, “So, you’re capable of making compromises too!” She had thought otherwise.
Isabella’s words caused Rebecca to stiffen.
Yes, Rebecca… was also capable of making compromises.
Even though Rebecca had hated and despised Natalie so much before, she was now willing to give in.
She only did it because… Cedric’s heart only had room for Natalie.
Cedric had given up everything for Natalie two years ago and willingly accepted all the punishments.
No one knew how painful it was for Rebecca to witness such a scene.
Now, Cedric had left prison because of Natalie. Naturally, Rebecca didn’t want any unexpected complications in this relationship.
She would only find peace if their relationship was restored and they had a good life.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 310-The Real Truth Rebecca finally came to her senses and was completely enlightened!
That was w why she compromised with the situation and wanted to clear all obstacles in Cedric and Natalie‘ relationship.
The first and foremost obstacle was Isabella, which was the cause of the biggest gap between them.
“Isabella, if you truly love him, let him go, okay?” Rebecca said seriously. She even added, “As long as you leave him, I’m willing to fulfill all your wishes. Also… I’ve found the best doctors for your eyes and confirmed that they can help you regain your sight.” Isabella was speechless.
She could regain her sight?!
Rebecca’s words caught Isabella off guard, and she stiffened.
“I can… regain my sight?” Isabella asked.
“Yes,” Regaining her sight? It was such a tempting offer…!
No one knew how Isabella had survived these years in the darkness. Every time she moved to a new place, she had to adapt to her surroundings diligently.
Up until now, she hadn’t figured out the layout and orientation of this presidential suite.
It illustrated what darkness meant to a person.
So, when Rebecca mentioned the possibility of regaining her sight, Isabella was shocked and excited.
More importantly, she would have the chance to see that little face!
No one knew how desperate she had felt when she was unable to see the face of that child.
“Are you sure? Is it really true?” “Of course!” Rebecca said confidently.
It was true!
Isabella had to admit that Rebecca had put a lot of effort into convincing her to leave Cedric She had even found a doctor capable of performing such a surgery, demonstrating the lengths “If you don’t believe me, you can have the surgery first.” Have the surgery first?
That meant the doctor truly existed.
He existed, and there was a real chance she could see…!
Isabella pursed her thin l*ps, and for a moment, it felt like she was suffocating!
She truly wanted to agree to Rebecca’s offer…!
However, she couldn’t.
Seeing that Isabella didn’t yield, Rebecca sighed.
“There’s one thing I think you should know. It might be hard for you to handle.” “What is it?” What else could there be?
During the period when Rebecca had been depressed, what had she been doing?
And… what had she discovered?
“You’ve always hated Natalie. But neither of you knew that Natalie’s mother passed away before yours did.” “What?!” That was…!
“Moreover, your mother killed hers! The reason your mother committed suicide was because of the investigation that was subsequently launched. She knew she couldn’t escape, so she left you and your brother behind.” “You’re talking nonsense!” Isabella roared hysterically at Rebecca’s words.
No, it couldn’t be true!
Isabella was clearly agitated by the information, and Rebecca continued, “Also, your birth was an accident. The story about Natalie’s father loving your mother was all a lie your mother concocted. She made it up to frame Natalie’s mother. Your father had an accident on his horne Natalie’s mother could have survived, but unfortunately, she heard the news about that way man’s death and.” Rebecca didn’t continue with her explanation.
Her words were polite, but for Isabella, they were shocking and horrifying!
She trembled violently, unable to believe what she had heard. She looked in Rebecca’s direction in disbelief, her mind filled with images of her mother leaving her.
+25 BONUS Rebecca continued, “Your mother was the last one to pass. She fabricated a beautiful lie, leaving you with the image of a powerful mother. However, it also dragged you into the abyss novelbin of hatred.” Isabella was silent.
She was still trembling violently. Her l*ps quivered as she asked, “If I was an accident, what about my brother?” “Lies, when rep
