Ch. 321..330
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 321-The Sixth Lord Personally Arrives At the airport, Yves, Natalie, and Leon left through a special channel. However, just as they reached the exit, Lucas appeared.
He stared at Natalie intensely and called out, “Madam!” The form of address made Natalie’s heart skip a beat. She moved her l*ps as if to object, but ultimately, she didn’t correct Lucas’s address as she usually did.
Instead, she asked, “Lucas, what are you doing?” Lucas replied, “I’m not stopping you from leaving, but Mr. Johnson said… He deliberately ignored Yves and continued, “You can’t leave with Mr. Frazier’s men.” As he finished speaking, the atmosphere around Yves instantly felt more dangerous.
Natalie frowned and looked at Yves. Her mind kept weaving through thoughts of Irwin, Cedric, and Stephen.
Whom did she trust the most?
Stephen, of course!
And who was the person Stephen trusted the most? Irwin… or Cedric?
The two names kept changing in her mind!
Stephen had asked Cedric to stay by her side… What had happened between Stephen and Irwin?!
Or was there something she didn’t know?
Undoubtedly, Natalie sensed something was amiss in the past two years. However, those things may not have seemed significant to her then.
Hence, she hadn’t actively investigated.
But now… “Natalie, I see you as my future sister–in–law because I’m close to Irwin. I must ensure your safety. We have to go,” Yves said respectfully. He had calmed himself before turning to Natalie.
Future sister-in–law?!
“Yves!” Natalie exclaimed.
“Yes?” “You don’t have to follow me. I’ll leave with Leon.” Whatever the situation was, she could trust Stephen’s people.
“Do you… not trust Irwin?” Yves inquired.
“Simeria is in turmoil lately. I think he needs you more by his side.” Natalie’s words were tactful but carried an underlying firmness.
At this moment, Lucas breathed a sigh of relief.
“Leon.” “Yes, Miss?” “Has everything been arranged?” Before Leon could speak, Lucas stepped forward and said, “Madam, Mr. Johnson has made all the arrangements for you.” At this moment, the tension between Lucas and Yves was noticeable as they glared at each other.
Neither of them were giving in to the other.
Especially Lucas… Natalie had never seen him so determined before!
She closed her eyes and said, “No need for all this. I have better arrangements on my side. You all can go back.” Stephen had sensed something off about Irwin, but she wasn’t sure if she could trust Cedric either. She had once trusted him so much, only to pay a terrible price in the end.
So, Natalie wouldn’t believe anyone else at this nt except st “Leon!” “Yes, ma’am.” “Let’s go.” With that, Natalie took a step forward.
But after just two steps, Yves coldly said, “Natalie, Irwin said I must take you to where you should go.” Natalie looked at Yves. At this moment, all eyes were on Yves.
There was a sharp glint in Natalie’s eyes. The air around her dropped several degrees as she asked, “And where does Irwin think I should go?” Where she should go? Hah!
Natalie detested anyone attempting to take control on her behalf throughout her life.
Stephen and Heather were family, so they were different!
Since she left Cedric, she hadn’t allowed anyone to dictate her choices.
“Since you insist on an explanation… Please excuse my rudeness!” Yves’s latter part of his sentence was tinged with a dangerous undertone.
In an instant, it seemed as if something had become clear in Natalie’s mind.
Leon and Lucas shifted into defensive stances and were on high alert as they looked at Yves. Lucas was even more tense as he instinctively positioned himself before Natalie, creating a barrier between her and Yves.
Even if Natalie were a fool, she knew she must not go with Yves now.
Perhaps… Irwin was also waiting for this moment?!
What the hell was going on?!
With a snap of Yves‘ fingers, people rushed into the scene.
Natalie turned her sharp glare on Yves. “Is this what Irwin intends to do?!” “He’s doing this for your sake!” novelbin “Hah!” For her sake?!
Was he forcefully taking her away from Simeria now? She always thought Irwin was inscrutable, but this situation was downright absurd!
The tension in the air was obvious.
Lucas glanced sideways at Leon and said, “Mr. Lutz, I leave Madam in your hands.” “Rest assured.” As soon as he said that, Leon grabbed Natalie’s wrist. He started to turn around to leave, but Yves gave a command, and they found themselves surrounded.
Clearly, Irwin’s stance was firm.
Natalie had to leave with his people, whether she wanted to or not. It seemed less like a threat from the formidable sixth lord and more like an opportunity Irwin had been waiting for!
What was Irwin’s objective?!
Was Irwin throwing off all pretenses now and showing his true nature?
What a profound man. He unexpectedly…!
Just as Yves thought everything would go his way, the meticulously arranged situation was overturned!
“Hey! Lord Malcolm wants her! How dare you interfere in our master’s plans?!” Malcolm’s men had caught up.
Leon had always been by Natalie’s side. No matter what happened, he was confident in getting her out of trouble. At this moment, he unconsciously tightened his grip on her wrist.
Then, a man emerged from the group of people. He exuded an aura of royalty, which was both noble and alluring.
When they noticed the man, everyone’s expression suddenly changed.
Malcolm Entes, the sixth lord… had actually appeared here in person?!
“Ms. Walker, inviting you over for a drink is challenging, hmm? You’re all useless! I can’t -believe I had to come here in person!” Natalie remained silent, her heart racing.
Just then, Natalie’s phone vibrated.
Glancing at Malcolm with a slightly tense gaze, she took out her phone and checked it. When she saw the name on it, her eyes widened, and she felt as if her heart had leaped to her throat.
It was Bianca!
Bianca… her best friend who had disappeared for two years, and whose number couldn’t be reached for two years… She was now calling her!
Natalie urgently answered, “Bia!” At this moment, Natalie seemed not to hear her own voice.
“Nat, run!” Bianca’s voice was loud and filled with urgency.
Natalie looked up at the man standing not far away from her, smoking a cigar. Looking at the bright red sparks, Natalie could feel the sting on her face where Malcolm’s cigar had grazed her earlier.
she… couldn’t escape.
She never expected this man to come in person.
“Bia, where are you?” “Don’t worry about me!” Bianca’s tone remained tense.
However, Malcolm was already walking towards Natalie.
Leon instinctively stood in front of Natalie. But when Natalie saw the fierceness in Malcolm’s eyes, she instinctively pushed Leon behind her.
He was too terrifying!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 322-Courage Men were like beasts in the dark night, and their every step felt like an attack on one’s heart. The inherent oppression grew stronger as they approached their prey, causing their prey to shrink further into themselves.
Just as Malcolm was about to approach Natalie, Leon grabbed Natalie’s wrist.
“Ms. Walker!” Evidently, he intended to shield Natalie behind him. However, Natalie displayed an unprecedented level of firmness, standing her ground without flinching.
She knew that if Leon stood in front of him at this moment…!
Malcolm was a man who did not tolerate any obstacles in his path.
He reached out his fair and slender finger to gently lift her chin and lightly stroked it. His crisp breath was pleasant, yet carried a deadly danger.
“It seems you understand me quite well, hmm?” He chuckled as he spoke, but it sounded bitterly ironic to Natalie’s ears.
Malcolm was mistaken.
She wasn’t the only one who understood him so well. Everyone in Simeria understood him very well!
Natalie’s heart raced. “What do you want?” “Come with me, and everyone here will be spared. Does that sound worthwhile to you?” Worthwhile?
What did he take this for?
Natalie’s gaze turned sharp, and Malcolm’s smile turned cold and dangerous when he noted. the change in her eyes.
“Quite the character, just like your friend!” Natalie remained silent.
Her friend… Bianca!
Despite the obvious power difference in their standing right now, Natalie narrowed her eyes when Malcolm mentioned Blanca, At this moment, Natalie probably understood the reasons behind Bianca’s suffering in the In her two years in Simeria, she had encountered all sorts of people, but she never expected that the man before her, who looked so handsome, could be so evil.
“So, are you coming, Ms. Walker?” Seeing Natale gritting her teeth, Malcolm’s smile grew even wider!
“Are you sure you want me to go with you?” Natalie asked.
“Of course!” “Alright, let’s go.” Natalie, who had initially been gritting her teeth, now appeared surprisingly relaxed. Her sudden change left Malcolm unable to read her.
But it was only a moment before contempt flashed in his eyes.
This woman…!
He extended a hand toward Natalie like a gentleman. She looked at the man’s slender and attractive hand with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
However, in the end, she placed her already cold hand into the man’s palm.
“Miss….!” Leon’s restraint had reached its limit. He clenched his fist as he stepped forward!
But the next moment, Natalie ordered him to retreat. “Leon, stand down!” “Miss…!” “Don’t follow me!” Leon was speechless. At this moment, Natalie’s tone was firm and icy, and Leon probably understood what she intended to do.
However, this was Malcolm, not someone else!
Going with him was equivalent to entering hell!
“I underestimated your courage, Ms. Walker,” Malcolm said as he grasped Natalie’s hand tighter.
Natalie glanced at him without saying a word.
It was a stalemate.
In the end, the chase ended with Natalie leaving with Malcolm.
Everything returned to calm as if nothing had happened.
When Cedric arrived, only Lucas remained at the scene.
“Where is she?” At this moment, Cedric’s tone was slightly tense. He had instructed Lucas to take Natalie away.
Lucas respectfully lowered his head. “The sixth lord came personally and took her away.” When Cedric heard this, his expression changed, and he involuntarily stiffened!
Clearly, he hadn’t expected Malcolm to come personally.
He had urgently summoned Lucas, fearing that Natalie might leave with Irwin’s people. Now, it turned out she didn’t go with Irwin’s people.
But the current situation…!
Cedric took a deep breath, but his chest also tightened involuntarily. “Lord Malcolm?” sir. It seems that Madam had completely irritated Lord Malcolm with her actions this time,” Lucas replied.
Malcolm had come with a menacing force, and no one could stop him.
Cedric understood that Natalie had offended Malcolm. What he didn’t anticipate was that Malcolm would personally come to take Natalie away.
It was no wonder Lucas was waiting for him here, Suddenly, the air around Cedric turned cold and sinister, and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
“We’re leaving!” he hissed through gritted teeth.
Bang!
In the villa on the small island, a deafening sound reverberated through the place.
Cynthia dropped the medicine in her hand as she trembled, and her face turned ashen.
“You should leave.” “Miss…” Cynthia was terrified at this moment, but thinking about Bianca’s recent phone call, she became even more frightened.
Bianca also knew that Malcolm was a frightening man. People around her always tried to keep their distance whenever he was present, especially this little girl by her side, who was almost always scared to tears.
“Get out “Yes, ma’am” Cynthia nodded tearfully and quickly turned away Though she was concerned about Banca, she was more afraid of Malcolm She knew she couldn’t stay here any longer.
With Cynthia gone, only Bianca and Malcolm remained.
Bianca coldly looked at the dangerous man standing at the door. His expression was icy, indicating his anger It seemed he was furious Even if one didn’t like someone, spending enough time with them would lead to understanding their preferences Bianca didn’t particularly like this type of understanding, but she couldn’t avoid it.
Malcolm stepped forward and said coldly. “You’re just a simple number, yet… Even something insignificant can do something like that, hmm?
Bianca was silent. She remained calm and composed even after hearing his words.
She was accustomed to it–accustomed to this man humiliating her in such a way. Every time she heard such words, she could only ignore him, pretend she didn’t hear, or act like it didn’t affect her.
Even after two full years…!
Malcolm had spent a considerable amount of time, using various methods, yet he couldn’t strip away the pride from this woman.
The only time Bianca had begged was…!
To think it was all for a woman!
This realization only made things more unpleasant.
“Where did you get the phone?” -Seeing Bianca remain silent, Malcolm approached her. He lifted her delicate chin, forcing their eyes to meet.
Blanca continued to remain silent.
“It seems you still don’t understand the situation. Should I have Ms. Walker accompany you?” As soon as he finished speaking, Bianca’s expression changed abruptly.
He really…!
et out Cynthia nodded tearfully and quickly turned away, Though she was concerned about Bianca, she was more afraid of Malcolm. She knew she couldn’t stay here any longer 4 With Cynthia gone, onde Banca and Malcolm remained.
Banca coldly looked at the dangerous man standing at the door. His expression was ley, indicating his anger to seemed he was furiou Even if one didn’t like someone, spending enough time with them would lead to understanding their preferences Bianca didn’t particularly like this type of understanding, but she couldn’t avoid it.
Malcolm stepped forward and said coldly, “You’re just a simple number, yet… Even something msignificant can do something like that, hmmm?” Bianca was silent. She remained calm and composed even after hearing his words.
She was accustomed to it–accustomed to this man humiliating her in such a way. Every time she heard such words, she could only ignore him, pretend she didn’t hear, or act like it didn’t affect her.

To think it was all for a woman!
This realization only made things more unpleasant.
“Where did you get the phone?” Seeing Bianca remain silent, Malcolm approached her. He lifted her delicate chin, forcing their eyes to meet.
Bianca continued to remain silent.
“It seems you still don’t understand the situation. Should I have Ms. Walker accompany you?” As soon as he finished speaking, Bianca’s expression changed abruptly.
He really..!
Did he really get his hands on Natalie?!
No! How could that be?!
Natalie had Stephen backing her!
With such a formidable presence, how could she fall into Malcolm’s hands?!
“Do you need to see her in person to believe it?” Seeing the woman’s ever–changing expression, Malcolm knew she didn’t believe it. novelbin But that was okay.
“It seems I underestimated you,” Bianca said.
“How so?” “You even dare to provoke Stephen!” Yes, Stephen.
Everyone said there were three major forces in Simeria–the Entes family, the Jarvis family, and Irwin from Maple Pe
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 323-Fierce While it was true that these three forces usually didn openly, it was also fortunate that they maintained a surface–level harmony.
After all, if these major forces were to break ties, it wouldn’t just be a matter between them- it could involve the entire Simeria.
But now, Malcolm had undoubtedly shattered this balance by taking Natalie!
He was the royalty of Simeria, and the responsibility to maintain harmony weighed even heavier!
So now.
“Aren’t you afraid of becoming a sinner?” Bianca said as she looked at him with cold eyes.
Malcolm’s gaze turned cold as well. He couldn’t help but admit that this woman was incredibly tough. Even at this stage, she dared to challenge and push him to his limits.
“Do you think I care about these things?” “Yes, you don’t care!” Bianca smiled sarcastically. “What you care about is a woman like Faye.” As soon as she finished speaking, the pressure on her chin intensified.
At this moment, the man seemed to want to crush her.
A dangerous glint flashed through his eyes.
Bianca had seen this kind of danger more than once in the past two years, especially whenever Faye was mentioned. His emotions would completely spiral out of control.
It was evident that Faye held a significant place in his heart.
Over time, Bianca understood that mentioning Faye’s name would only agitate him.
However, now, she wished…!
She wished she had died a long time ago to satisfy his anger.
She understood better than anyone how Malcolm had easily brought back Natalie.
There were so many people around Natalie. If she hadn’t been willing to leave with Malcolm, those people would have exerted all their efforts to ensure Natalie escaped the predicament.
Yet, Natalie had ended up leaving with Malcolm because of Bianca!
Now, facing the fierce gaze of the man in front of her, Bianca slowly closed her eyes. The expression on her pale face seemed like she had given up on everything.
A loud thud echoed as she was slammed onto the sofa.
Then, the man roared furiously, “How dare you?!” “If you truly hate me, why don’t you take my life as compensation?! Stop involving innocent people, okay?!” novelbin That was right! If he really hated her…!
Then she would just give her life to compensate him!
In these two years, Bianca understood that she couldn’t escape from this man. She had never left this place and didn’t even know where she was…!
In such a predicament, the only thing she could do was wear that proud mask and act as if she wasn’t bothered by anything.
But only she knew… Two years were enough to wear down a person in many ways. Countless attempts to escape, only to be caught repeatedly, made her completely aware that it wasn’t so easy.
Her willpower was also gradually being eroded.
Natalie had stirred up her dormant determination, making her pick up her pride once again.
Bianca was the most famous lawyer in Verde City who specialized in divorce cases. She had never lost even once. Her excellence was undeniable. She had never wronged anyone, never fought an unscrupulous case.
She had never done anything wrong.
So, why did she have to be trampled on by this man?!
Bianca was proud of herself…!
“Do you think think your life is worth that much? You better remember this. If you dare do such things again, I’ll make sure your good friend accompanies you when you die!” Malcolm glared at her with bloodshot eyes as he hissed these vicious words. Then, he turned and left.
The door slammed shut behind him loudly, and even the building seemed to shake under the force!
All of Bianca’s masks shattered at this moment. She sat on the ground, looking like a soulless doll.
After a few moments, Cynthia entered the room, her eyes filled with pity.
“Miss, please don’t confront Lord Malcolm directly. You’ll be the only one at a disadvantage.” +25 BONUS Seeing the red marks on Bianca’s jaw, Cynthia’s eyes flashed with sorrow and reluctance. Whenever Bianca confronted Malcolm head–on, she always ended up on the losing side.
Bianca’s l*ps curved into a bitter smile. “So, do you think I should beg him?” Beg him?
The outcome would be even worse.
Over the years, with all the court cases she fought, she had encountered all kinds of people.
Men like Malcolm, who thought themselves to be superior, were simply heartless. They wouldn’t turn soft even when faced with weaker people… in with.
Because they didn’t have a heart to begin “Well, you should at least protect yourself from getting hurt whenever Lord Malcolm is here.” Bianca found Cynthia’s words somewhat naive, as if spoken by a child.
“You don’t need to worry too much about your friend. The Jarvis family is not to be trifled with. I’m sure Lord Malcolm didn’t bring your friend here to threaten you. He probably wants to reach an agreement with the Jarvis family.
Bianca closed her eyes, concealing the turmoil and pain within.
Hopefully, things were as Cynthia said… Time passed swiftly. In the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.
During this time, Simeria had become incredibly chaotic, and those involved felt the upheaval keenly.
When Stephen returned, the Jarvis family instantly had a falling out with the Entes family!
This confrontation was unexpected, but what was more crucial was that it wasn’t just between the Jarvis family and the Entes family.
It involved the Entes family with Maple Peak and the Jarvis family with Maple Peak…!
In short, all previous harmony that had been maintained was thoroughly shattered, leading to complete chaos!
In the study at Lotus Villa, Stephen took a harsh drag from his cigarette. He had quit smoking for a while due to health issues, but now he couldn’t resist the urge It was evident that the burden on his shoulder was immense!
“The fact that Mr. Entés took her away… was actually a good thing!” Stephen said with a frown.
His tone was unusually grave, carrying a certain disappointment.
Cedric was sitting across him, and he understood Stephen’s disappointment was directed at Irwin.
No one expected Irwin to…!
Stephen glanced solemnly at Cedric. “When do you plan to bring her back?” Stephen still did not agree with the conditions Malcolm had set. It had to be said that this man knew how to make outrageous demands.
Of course, the one who made the initial mistake this time was Natalie.
Given Malcolm’s personality, he would undoubtedly make a big deal out of this matter.
Speaking of Malcolm, a deeper gravity flashed in Stephen’s expression. “Any news from your side?” He was referring to news about Natalie.
After Malcolm took Natalie away from the airport, he hid her and entered the current negotiation with Regal Horizons International.
However, Malcolm dared to make demands that Stephen simply wouldn’t meet. This led to the standoff for the past half–month.
Before Cedric could reply, his phone vibrated. Noting that it was Lucas, he answered quickly.
“Hello?” “Sir, we’ve located Madam’s whereabouts.”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 324-Short On the solitary island, Natalie spent most of the half–month standing on the balcony of the third–floor room, gazing at the vast sea outside.
She could go out. But each time she ventured beyond, she found the sea surrounded the entire island. Escaping seemed nearly impossible.
After Malcolm’s people brought her here, they cut off all her contact with the outside world. She had no idea what was happening in Simeria.
During this half–month, besides thinking ab Irwin–yes, Irwin.
Bianca, Natalie’s mind was preoccupied with Until now, the dangerous glint in Yves‘ eyes from that Voften flashed in her mind.
The sound of helicopter propellers buzzing interrupted her thoughts. Natalie looked up, and her eyes gleamed with a deep fascination. The helicopter landed not far away on the beach.
Men in black suits disembarked in an orderly manner, forming a disciplined formation. The last two men to descend exuded an imposing aura.
One wore sunglasses covering most of his face, and even from a distance, Natalie could feel that one was Malcolm.
Her expression turned cold, and she rushed downstairs.
Seeing how she moved so quickly, the butler downstairs breathed heavily and said, “Ms. Walker, please be careful.” Although she was confined here, the people treated her with great courtesy. Natalie had been. well taken care of during this half–month.
As Malcolm entered, he saw her in a white dress, and a smile crept onto his l*ps. “It seems my taste is not bad. It suits you well.” What kind of comment was that?!
Natalie remained silent, but her expression was more than chilly. “What exactly do you want?” It had been half a month since that night when he took her from the airport and placed her here. Even a fool could deduce that Simeria must have undergone significant changes during this time.
The man in black, clad in a powerful aura from head to toe, reclined on the sofa.
“I underestimated your position in Stephen’s heart. Just a niece, yet somehow more important than his own daughter.” Natalie remained silent.
Stephen’s own daughter. Winona?
Natalie asked, “May I leave now +25 BONUS Half a month had passed, and Simeria must have undergone earth–shaking changes.
These people would undoubtedly reach a quick igreement with the fastest speed, especially after what Malcolm had just said. His words suggested that this time, Stephen had compromised quite a bit for her.
Yet, until now, she hadn’t seen Blanca.
Thinking of this, Natalie clenched her fists, she used to think this man was immoral and despicable, but what she didn’t anticipate was that with some people… one would never know another’s bottom line.
In fact, with Malcolm, there might be no bottom line at all.
At this moment, the man looked at her and said, “Before, I thought you were just a niece relying on your uncle’s influence. Now, it seems that you’re more significant than I thought. Natalie… why don’t we get married?” Natalie remained silent.
At his words, her mind went blank. novelbin Looking at Malcolm’s perfect and alluring face, she wasn’t just angry!
This man was a lunatic!!!
Previously, she had described Cedric as shameless. But now, it seemed that those words were more fitting for Malcolm.
What’s more, these words were insufficient to describe him!
Bottom lines, principles–Natalie didn’t believe this man had any of those!
“You’re shameless!” Natalie hissed through gritted teeth.
Malcolm had said those words teasingly, but Natalie knew this was not a joke.
He was serious.
At this moment, Natalie thought of something–the fifth son of the Entes family had once proposed to Winona through Stephen.
But for some reason, Stephen had not agreed at that time.
In reality, every member of the Entes family excelled in their respective fields. However, such Winona was Stephen’s only daughter. So, Stephen would consider Winona’s happiness more than their family’s interests when making significant decisions for her.
Regal Horizons International already held a prominent position in Simeria, which made powerful alliances less important.
10 But for the several members of the Entes family, it was different.
The Entes family was powerful, and the question of who would inherit their family was crucial. The conditions that the heir should possess naturally had to be the best in every aspect.
There had never been any marital alliances among the three major forces–the Jarvis family, Maple Peak, and the Entes family.
Natalie had to admit that Malcolm was daring to propose such a union.
After all, he needed to consider the reactions of the many influential and important people in the Entes family for such an alliance!
“What’s wrong? Are you not willing?” Malcolm asked.
“Are you trying to throw me into a difficult situation?” Natalie scoffed at the man.
If she agreed to Malcolm’s proposal, she might never return to Simeria.
She couldn’t do that!
But if she returned to Simeria, would the other members of the Entes family truly allow al union between Malcolm and the Jarvis family?
“Are you worried about your safety? Rest assured, no one will dare to disrespect you!” Malcolm assured.
“Hah!” Quite a boastful claim, but understandable.
Once they were married, the Entes family would soon fall into the hands of Malcolm. He had that much confidence.
However, what about before the successful union?
“What if I don’t agree?” Natalie coldly eyed Malcolm. Her tone now carried a dangerous undertone.
The man looked at her with sharp eyes, a hint of amusement flickering in their depths. Yet, the smile appeared so cold.
“Natalie, as a woman with your qualifications, being the princess of the Entes family won’t be A woman with my qualifications” Natalie retopled.
“Why did your aunt go to Snow City? Are you prefending to be ignorant?” he asked.
At his words, Natalie’s face instantly turned pale He knew…?!
Clearly, this matter had been well hidden. But as the saying goes, there were no secrets that time wouldn’t unveil She knew concealing the truth was only a temporary measure, but she didn’t expect this man to find out so quickly.
The man stood up and approached her. He looked down at her, and Natalie Instinctively took a step back. However, the man easily caught her chin, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.
As their eyes met, Natalie shook her head vigorously, only to feel pain.
“You’re really short!” the man sneered.
Natalie’s already unpleasant complexion turned angry in an instant.
“A woman with my qualifications?” Natalie retorted.
“Why did your aunt go to Snow City? Are you pretending to be ignorant?” he asked.
At his words, Natalie’s face instantly turned pale.
He knew…?!
Clearly, this matter had been well hidden. But as the saying goes, there were no secrets that time wouldn’t unveil.
She knew concealing the truth was only a temporary measure, but she didn’t expect this man to find out so quickly.
The man stood up and approached her. He looked down at her, and Natalie instinctively took a step back. However, the man easily caught her chin, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.
As their eyes met, Natalie shook her head vigorously, only to feel pain.
You’re really short!” the man sneered.
Natalie’s already unpleasant complexion turned angry in an instant.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 325- Untameable Little Fox Natalie knew that her height was her fatal weakness, having missed many career opportunities in the past due to this issue.
However, that didn’t mean she would accept attacks from others because of it.
She glared fiercely at Malcolm and asked, “So, do you think we look good together?” Look good together?
Malcolm looked at the extremely short and petite woman before him. He had to admit that the contrast was significant, standing next to a tall man like him. Their height difference didn’t showcase the dignity of a queen.
But then, he scoffed.
“Well, what do you expect of someone from the Jarvis family? As long as your status is good enough, appearance doesn’t matter!” With that, Natalie couldn’t bear it any longer.
She slapped the hand that was restraining her as hard as she could!
As the man let go, she quickly distanced herself from him.
“If I’m not mistaken, my uncle has agreed to all your conditions. But this is one that he didn’t, right?” Natalie said, her eyes fixed on Malcolm.
Malcolm remained silent. The playful look in his eyes had vanished instantly, replaced by coldness.
“Hmm… They say distilled wisdom holds the essence. I suppose that saying is true.” This woman was smart.
It was no wonder she had managed Regal Horizons International so well these past two years, allowing Stephen to focus on other matters.
A seemingly harmless woman had become Stephen’s greatest assistant!
Natalie felt that whatever Malcolm said now was an attack on her.
As if reading her mind, he asked, “So, what’s your answer?” Her answer?
She could guess what Stephen had in mind. Even though Malcolm had sealed all information from her these past few weeks, preventing her from knowing anything, she was still familiar with how things worked in Simeria.
+25 BONUS Even without direct information, she could analyze a lot of what had happened.
So, when Malcolm asked her this question, Natalie didn’t respond directly, but her refusal was clear.
“If you don’t like someone like me, Lord Malcolm, there’s no need to compromise. After all…” Pausing for effect, Natalie looked at Malcolm. The previous icy tone now carried a hint of mockery.
“Your lifestyle is different from mine, and I also can’t compromise!” The man’s eyes flickered slightly. Then he smiled ambiguously.
“Are you complaining that I have too many women? I can dismiss them all. What do you think?
“All of them?” “Of course.” His response was quite straightforward.
The way way he easily said such words indicated that this man’s approach was definitely not as simple as the rumors suggested.
He might even be more insane than the rumors. novelbin If she could, Natalie really wanted to retort with, “You’re already too dirty. Even if you washed yourself with holy water, it would be too late.” However, reason made her bite back the impulse.
“Including 74?” she asked instead.
Malcolm was silent.
As the words hung in the air, the atmosphere became tense, and the two locked eyes in a silent standoff.
Natalie saw the dangerous glint in the man’s eyes when she mentioned Bianca, and she met his eyes fearlessly.
She was waiting and gambling. She was betting on how important this marriage was to Malcolm and whether he would spare Bianca for it.
If he could, she thought she might agree.
Bianca had suffered too much.
Putting aside the future, it was best to let Bianca leave first. That was why she followed Malcolm from the airport. However, she didn’t expect this man to keep her in the dark for half a month, rendering all her negotiations useless.
Now, it seemed that everything Natalie had meant nothing to him. He didn’t even bother to meet her because he found her unworthy.
What he truly needed might be the influence of the Jarvis family behind her. Even knowing about what was in Snow City, he still dared to propose such conditions.
After a long time, their standoff made the surroundings so quiet that the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
Suddenly, Malcolm reached for her.
Natalie instinctively wanted to dodge, but he firmly grabbed the back of her head, pulling her close.
A warm breath and chilly air assaulted Natalie’s senses. The sharpness in Malcolm’s eyes transformed again into a gentle glint.
However, there was a dangerous feeling to it.
Malcolm said, “Ms. Walker, has anyone ever said you’re an untameable little fox?” A fox? Was he referring to her cunning nature?
Natalie pushed him hard, but he didn’t budge. The next moment, he gritted his teeth and hissed into her ear, “I agree to your conditions!” After speaking, he forcefully pushed Natalie away.
Caught off guard, she cursed inwardly. This man was truly mad. Given his terrible personality, nature had wasted such a perfect face on him!
Without refuting Malcolm’s words, Natalie realized that getting Bianca out of his clutches was more important than anything else.
The man’s sharp eyes seemed to penetrate into her heart.
He said, “Natalie, don’t play tricks with me, okay?” Tricks? Those two words sounded so dangerous.
Even without him saying it, Natalie probably understood that getting involved with Malcolm meant inviting big trouble.
Apparently, Malcolm was reminding her not to think everything was fine just because Bianca left. She should behave herself afterward..
Natalie retorted, “Who would dare play tricks with you, Lord Malcolm?” “I want to see Bianca!” she declared angrily, her demand justifiably assertive.
The man, who had deliberately softened his gaze moments ago, now showed a hint of sharpness.
“Don’t cross the line!” “As someone soon to be your ally, can’t I even request to meet someone? It seems that the women associated with you are attracted only by your face,” Natalie shot back.
With her words, the atmosphere quieted once again.
Obviously, Malcolm didn’t expect Natalie to retort so much.
With a snap of his fingers, a well–dressed man promptly entered the room from outside. It was the same man who had followed Malcolm off the helicopter earlier.
The man respectfully approached, taking a document from his briefcase and handing it to Malcolm. Malcolm accepted it without even glancing at it. With a swift movement, he threw it in front of Natalie.
“Sign it, and you’ll meet her immediately,” he said, his tone unyielding.
Natalie picked it up and glanced at it. In an instant, her eyes widened.
“Someone must have told you that you’re a sly old fox!” It seemed that Malcolm’s visit today was merely a notification, a part of his well–prepared plan.
Was he playing with her just now?
“If you want to see her soon, don’t waste time here. Otherwise, I’ll seriously doubt the authenticity of your friendship with her.” “We don’t need your approval!” Natalie retorted fiercely.
She grabbed a pen and forcefully signed her name on the document, leaving an indented hole on the paper, a testament to her suppressed anger.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 326-Can I Meet Her Now?
Swoosh!
After signing, Natalie grabbed the documents and ruthlessly threw them in the man’s face.
The people present all took a sharp breath, clearly not expecting Natalie, who was so petite, to have such a fiery temper.
Malcolm had always been a man admired by women. When he found himself treated this way by Natalie, his face turned red with anger.
His gaze towards Natalie also grew colder.
However, Natalie was unfazed. “Can I meet her now?” “Tomorrow, I’ll have someone bring her to see you,” Malcolm replied.
He stood up, folded the marriage agreement, and handed it to the lawyer who had come with him. The lawyer respectfully accepted it.
Malcolm once again extended a hand to Natalie in a gentlemanly manner.
“Shall we, my princess?” Princess?
It was only at this moment that Natalie realized the Entes family was an ancient royal family. If Malcolm were to inherit the Entes family, then as his wife, she would naturally be addressed as a princess.
Even after so many years, Simeria still retained its royal heritage, indicating the Entes family’s enduring strength in history.
“You’re so confident that by marrying into the Jarvis family, you can truly inherit the entire Entes family?” Natalie challenged.
“Since the odds are in my favor, it’s a sure thing. What do you think, my princess?” Malcolm responded.
The title made goosebumps break out on Natalie’s skin.
“What? Are you attached to this place and reluctant to leave?” he teased.
Natalie gritted her teeth and placed her small hand in the man’s warm palm.
The sharp glint in her eyes made her wish that looks could kill!
On the plane, Malcolm enjoyed a glass of red wine as Natalie looked out of the window.
Suddenly, Malcolm asked, “Is there something between you and Z?” “Z? Who’s that?” Natalie didn’t immediately grasp who Malcolm was referring to. But anyone mentioned he mentioned must be of considerable significance.
“Zane!” “Zane?” Natalie was instantly shocked to hear Zane’s name. What was the relationship between Zane and Malcolm?
It was evident their connection was not simple, especially since Malcolm mentioned Zane right after calling him Z.
The man frowned. “What, you don’t know his true identity?” “His true identity?” Natalie asked, bewildered.
Clearly, she didn’t understand. But even if she didn’t, she had a sense that Zane was not an ordinary man.
When Zane was by her side before, she always felt a unique aura about him.
However, since he was in the Special Assistant Department of Regal Horizons International, it was certain that there was more to him.
It’s just that she never expected Zane to be connected to Malcolm.
In that case, what reasons could Zane have had to be working inside Regal Horizons International? Did he have any ulterior motives to have done so?!
Natalie’s chest tightened when she thought about it.
Malcolm chuckled and said, “It seems praising your intelligence was an understatement.” “You…” Natalie was infuriated.
But truth be told, she had never doubted Zane’s identity. However, now reminded by Malcolm, she realized she needed to thoroughly investigate the company upon her return.
“He’s the Entes family’s second son,” Malcolm revealed. “…and my half–brother.” Half–brother?
The legendary seventh lord of the Entes family, who had never appeared in public?
Natalie’s mind was suddenly chaotic, and she struggled to comprehend the information Clearly, she hadn’t expected such extraordinary individuals to be around her.
Zane was a man with extraordinary abilities. He was capable of efficiently organizing any matter in his hands, and he… was the rumored seventh lord?!
Did his sudden departure from her side mean that the Entes family’s succession had reached a critical moment?
Natalie’s breath became stifled. Clearly, the news brought by Malcolm had not only shocked her but also thrown her world into disorder.
“The seventh lord?” “Yes.” 11 The seventh lord… Zane… was the seventh lord!
However, unlike the rumors about Malcolm, no one knew the seventh lord’s true name. It remained mysterious, with no defined qualities.
There were both positive and negative speculations, but none as extreme as those about the sixth lord.
The fact that such a mysterious man had been a special assistant by her side for such a long time astonished Natalie.
She couldn’t believe it.
No one knew what Natalie was feeling inside at this moment, nor how shaken she truly was.
In any case, it was inconceivable…!
Back at Simeria Airport, Leon and Julian Hunt were both present, Julian had always been by Stephen’s side.
Malcolm held Natalie’s hand throughout the journey, their presence drawing numerous gazes due to Malcolm’s perfect charm.
Many people took out their phones to capture the moment, and even the media present at the airport captured this scene.
Malcolm personally handed her over to Leon, who had a stern expression.
“Before marriage, you can still live at your parents‘ home, my princess!” +25 BONUS The words were ambiguous, causing Natalie to shiver. Leon quickly pulled Natalie behind him, but Malcolm disregarded Leon’s actions.
Instead, his smile grew wider, as if mocking Leon and Natalie’s overestimation of themselves.
Back at Lotus Villa, Natalie fell into a familiar embrace as soon as she exited the car.
The crisp and familiar scent momentarily reassured Natalie, but she quickly snapped back to reality.
She pushed away from Cedric. “What are you doing here?” “We arranged everything together. I didn’t expect him to bring you back at this time!” Cedric’s tone was less than pleasant. After receiving Natalie’s precise location, he had made thorough preparations.
However, Natalie had returned in good health before Cedric could implement anything.
Could it mean she had reached the agreement Stephen had never relented on with Malcolm?
“Is that so? Thank you for your trouble,” Natalie’s tone was icy, devoid of any emotion.
Cedric’s eyes darkened. “Did you agree to him?” novelbin His tone turned rigid, even carrying a hint of danger.
Natalie looked at Cedric, her eyes filled with deep resistance.
She said, “When did you become so close to my uncle? Why didn’t I know about this?” Perhaps it was because of Irwin.
In this urgent moment, discovering Irwin was untrustworthy made many past things suddenly unimportant.
But for Natalie, it wasn’t the case.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 327-Imminent Crisis Watching Natalie turn around, her firm and distant figure seemed to carry a hatred transcending lifetimes.
Even if it required a thousand different methods, they must separate!
Thinking of the hatred brought about by another life, Cedric stiffened. He stood in place with a hint of hurt in his eyes.
Was Natalie really the same as him? Had she really come from another lifetime?
If that was the case, how could he ever make up for the pain she carried in both lifetimes?
Lucas glanced in the direction Natalie left, then approached Cedric and said solemnly, “Mr. Johnson, that person has called three times personally. He hopes you’ll return to Wexford immediately!” That person…!
Wexford.
That was a side of Cedric that had always remained unknown to others. Not even Natalie or Rebecca had any knowledge of it.
Wexford represented a powerful and mysterious presence–his father!
Who could have thought that the person everyone in the Johnson family believed to be dead had been living in the darkest corners of their world?
Across generations, someone in the Johnson family was always tasked with succeeding in this heavy responsibility. Cedric was the only male bloodline in this current generation, so the task naturally fell onto him.
This time, he had received three personal calls, indicating he had no choice but to return to Wexford.
However, he never considered leaving over the past half a month because he couldn’t locate Natalie.
Now, Natalie was back. However, with even greater turmoil awaiting in Simeria, he worried about her.
“If you anger that person, Madam will only get into more trouble,” Lucas warned in a serious tone. novelbin This reminder instantly brought Cedric to his senses.
Indeed, that person…!
+25 BONUS He was a person quick to shift blame! If he discovered Cedric had stayed in Simeria because of Natalie, he would definitely resort to extreme measures.
“Madam isn’t someone who easily accepts the love of others. The situation in Wexford is pressing for you,” Lucas continued.
In other words, if Cedric didn’t take over the matters in Wexford promptly, trouble would come Natalie’s way.
With three phone calls from Wexford, it was evident the situation there was also critical.
Cedric frowned and said, “If Malcolm managed to bring her back so smoothly, it means she agreed to his demands.” As Cedric uttered these words, his tone carried a dangerous edge.
Lucas responded, “Ms. Sanders is crucial to her, so this compromise is temporary. After all, she has the Jarvis family behind her!” In Lucas’s view, Natalie’s agreement with Malcolm was not due to emotions but rather because of Bianca.
Even so, Cedric was still displeased.
He observed the brightly lit Lotus Villa mansion and closed his eyes. He clenched his fists and trembled as if restraining something with great effort.
Finally, when he opened his eyes again, they were sharp!
Bam!
In the hall of Lotus Villa, Stephen slammed the ashtray on the carved tea table, and Natalie shrank back.
Stephen had never been this angry before.
She looked somewhat distressed as she called out, “Uncle.” “I’ve spent so much effort on you in these two years. Do you think those shareholders and elders in their sixties and seventies have a lot of time left to impart what they did to you?” Natalie stayed silent.
“How would they feel when they find out they’ve educated someone like you? A deputy CEO who loses control impulsively?
“Do you want to send them to an early grave from anger? Is that it?” “Uncle, I didn’t…” +25 BONUS “You didn’t what?” Natalie’s words were sharply interrupted by Stephen’s stern tone.
Natalie pursed her l*ps. She knew that Stephen had been seriously angered during their phone call.
In the past half month, Malcolm had taken away her phone. While it brought peace for half a month, it didn’t change anything.
The consequences she had to bear remained unchanged.
If anything, the fact that Stephen had not calmed down for half a month showed just how genuinely angered he was.
Talking made Stephen angry, and not talking made him even angrier.
“Speak up! What did you agree to with him?” Stephen asked angrily.
In truth, Stephen had probably already guessed that she had agreed to certain conditions with Malcolm to be allowed back to Simeria.
But as her guardian, Stephen hoped that Natalie would be clever enough to find a better solution, even though he hadn’t thought of one himself.
“Natalie!” Stephen erupted in anger as he called her name.
If it weren’t for his relatively young age, he might have experienced skyrocketing blood pressure like those sixty or seventy–year–old men.
Despite having the advantage of age, Stephen still felt his chest heaving as if it were about to explode.
“Uncle, can you calm down? There was really nothing I could do in this matter.” “You couldn’t do anything? Do you know what kind of person Malcolm is? Even if you dare to provoke him, that would be one thing, but you also dared to establish a relationship with him!
11 Natalie remained silent.
She also understood the severity of the situation. But in that circumstance, she really had no other choice.
What kind of bargaining chip could she use to exchange with someone who lacked nothing and whose weak point was already dead?
Her head was throbbing.
“I know you’re worried about me, Uncle, but I already signed the marriage contract with him!” You signed it?!” Stephen was already angry, but hearing Natalie’s revelation made his blood pressure soar even higher than he thought possible.
Even his vision seemed to darken…!
That was just…!
“Uncle, let me explain!” “Natalie, you’re trying to kill me. The heavens must send you to kill me.” “I’m not! You have to believe me!” “Shut up!” Stephen was genuinely furious now. Even when Winona caused trouble back in the day, he hadn’t been this angry.
Children were truly troublemakers. When they didn’t cause trouble, everything was fine.
But when they did, it was always a big deal.
Especially Natalie–the audacity of her…!
Natalie pressed her l*ps together tightly. She watched as Stephen struggled to control his anger.
Comforting him wasn’t an option, but not comforting him wasn’t either.
She knew that the moment she spoke, he would explode again.
After a long while, Stephen’s emotions finally eased slightly after drinking two large glasses of water.
“Are you feeling better now?” Natalie softened her tone, asking in a cutesy manner.
“Stop trying to act cute!” “Uncle…” Natalie knew this trick was working by seeing the cracks on Stephen’s face.
There was no choice. She had to coax him!
Two years ago, she didn’t know what Winona had done to disappoint Stephen and Heather. To this day, Winona had yet to return.
In these two years, they had truly treated and loved her like a child. And sometimes, like a child, she needed to provide them with comfort.
She genuinely worried that Stephen might get seriously ill from anger.
Though I did sign, he made me sign because of the Jarvis family,” Natalie said with emphasis and sincerity.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 328- Withdrawing From the Engagement Stephen gave her a cold look. “What do you mean?” “As long as you sever ties with me, I’ll resign from Regal Horizons, and he’ll naturally withdraw that marriage contract.” Indeed, when Natalie signed the contract, it seemed like she was forced and desperate. novelbin However, she had already figured out a way out after countless twists and turns.
What Malcolm wanted was the powerful backing of the Jarvis family. Whether it was Malcolm himself or the fifth or fourth Lord, they all desired the Jarvis family.
This infuriated Stephen the most because he knew what they sought was the Jarvis family, not Natalie!
Stephen had witnessed too many marriages of convenience without love.
Cedric and Natalie’s union, born out of love, was already challenging.
Having already witnessed that, how could Stephen allow her second marriage to be a merger for the sake of benefits?
This was also why, even when she was in the hands of Malcolm, Stephen hadn’t given in.
“You silly girl.” “I’m just your niece, not your daughter. If I’ve done something wrong, I should be punished, shouldn’t I?” Stephen involuntarily frowned when he heard this. He looked at Natalie with profound eyes and then nodded.
“Yes, that makes sense.‘ “Then, after I meet Bianca tomorrow and escort her out of Simeria… Will you make the announcement, Uncle?
Announce that he had kicked her out of the Jarvis family?
Force her to leave Regal Horizons International?
When a person stood in a high position, it brought a lot of trouble.
Now, Stephen somewhat regretted putting Natalie in this position. First, it was Irwin, and now it was the Entes family.
+25 BONUS In another villa on a different island, Bianca’s face turned pale in the dim light as she looked at the documents in her hands.
She looked at Malcolm and felt her heart pounding wildly in her chest. Her eyes flickered with a dangerous intensity.
“Don’t look me like that. You can leave this place tomorrow.” “Why?” The emotions were clear in Bianca’s voice, and there was no sign of the careful restraint she used to display.
She had clearly reached her limit.
How could it be?
Wasn’t torturing her and humiliating her enough?
Did he have to retaliate in this manner?
“Why what?” “It’s not like you genuinely want to marry her!” Bianca hissed through gritted teeth.
The hatred in her eyes seemed like flames, eager to burn Malcolm to ashes.
Long, slender fingers held a cigar as Malcolm took a puff and then looked at Bianca mockingly.
“I thought you would turn against her because of this.” “Because of you? Who do you think you are?” Bianca sarcastically retorted.
He thought she would turn against Natalie because of him?!
Who did he think he was?!
As soon as she said that, the air around Malcolm turned dangerous. However, Bianca showed no fear.
“I don’t care how you choose to retaliate against me, but don’t involve her!” Indeed, this was her bottom line.
It had been two years…!
She had endured whatever kind of revenge this man had planned, but involving Natalie was something she couldn’t accept.
Otherwise, she would have sought Natalie’s help long ago. She knew too well the kind of existence Malcolm was in Simeria, and even seeking Natalie’s assistance wouldn’t save her from his influence.
Π Now, after all this time, Natalie was finally involved in the situation.
“Do you think I married her to retaliate against you? Aren’t you overestimating yourself a bit?
Bianca’s already unpleasant complexion turned even worse at his words. She stared at Malcolm with unwavering determination.
Before she could say anything, the man chuckled lightly.
“But it’s normal for you to think that way. Feel free to believe whatever you want!” “Tomorrow, someone will take you to see her. After that, there will be no connections between us anymore. Understood?” No connections?
That was good… In fact, it was excellent!
No one knew how long Bianca had been waiting for this day. But she would never have hoped to achieve it under these conditions.
“Tell me, what can I do to spare her?” “She’s my future princess. What do you mean, spare her? She will be the supreme woman in Simeria…!” “She doesn’t care about these things!” Biancà said through gritted teeth.
Malcolm thought he was giving Natalie the best, but Bianca knew very well what kind of person Natalie was.
What’s even more ridiculous was that this man was trying to use such methods to sow discord between them.
“It seems you are quite confident about your friendship with her?” Bianca didn’t want to answer him.
How could a person with such twisted values understand friendship?
“A person like you probably has never had a true friend in your life.” Then I’ll wait and see how much she hates you one day. How about that?” The man’s eyes carried a mocking confidence. It seemed like he believed his statement would Despite her confidence in her friendship with Natalie, her heart couldn’t help but tighten when she heard this man say that Natalie would hate her.
“Rest assured, you won’t get what you want!” Even at this moment, even with internal doubts, Bianca still firmly believed in Natalie.
The mocking glint in Malcolm’s eyes intensified, but he didn’t speak further.
Bianca found it difficult to breathe and averted her gaze, no longer wanting to look at him.
The sound of the wine glass being placed on the marble tabletop was so chilling.
In the next moment, the man stood up and approached her with his long legs.
Bianca was originally indifferent to the man. But now that he approached her, she went on high alert.
When she looked at Malcolm, she couldn’t help but shiver, and fear appeared in her eyes.
That night, Natalie spent it at Lotus Villa.
Heather wasn’t around, and Natalie knew that Stephen likely hadn’t told Heather anything about what had happened recently.
However, the following day before dawn, Natalie received a call from Heather while still half- asleep.
Heather’s tone was serious as she asked, “Nat, what’s going on between you and Lord Malcolm?!” “Aunt? It’s not even daylight yet,” Natalie mumbled, feeling exhausted.
Although she had been treated with respect on that island for the past half month, she had never had a good night’s sleep and had always been on high alert.
Now that she had finally returned home, shouldn’t she be left in peace to catch up on some sleep?
“Wake up and explain it to me clearly!” Heather was furious when she heard Natalie’s groggy tone.
Natalie, now fully awake, sat up.
Although she knew Heather’s temper wasn’t the best, the older woman had never scolded her like this before.
+25 BONUS But now… Natalie scratched her head and asked, “What’s wrong, Aunt?” It was early in the morning, and she had just woken up. What did Heather want her to explain?
“Get up and tell me what’s going on between you and Lord Malcolm!” “Lord Malcolm? What’s going on?” “All the headlines in Simeria are filled with pictures of you holding hands with Lord Malcolm at the airport. They even announced that you two are about to get married. Natalie, tell me, what’s going on between you and him?” Heather rattled off a series of questions on the other end of the phone, and Natalie finally became fully awake.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 329-More and More Outrageous What? Holding hands at the airport?
Malcolm had acted so deliberately so he could do this?!
How despicable!
Natalie ran her fingers through her somewhat messy hair and said, “Aunt, about this matter…” “What happened in Simeria?!” Heather’s tone on the other end of the phone instantly became more grave.
Having been with Stephen for so many years, she was also very sensitive.
Natalie took a deep breath and said, “Something happened in Simeria, but don’t worry, I’ll handle it on my end.” “How will you handle it?” How would she handle it?
Just like the discussion between her and Stephen… Of course, everything was fine before this incident broke out.
However, now that it had been exposed, she was undoubtedly being pushed to the forefront.
So even if she wanted to retreat now, she had to be cautious!
Malcolm wasn’t just as ruthless as the rumors said he was. It seemed that he was also a meticulous planner.
Once he grasped an opportunity, he would hold onto it tightly.
“Did your uncle go back because of this?” Heather asked before Natalie could say anything.
Natalie closed her eyes. Stephen was also in a difficult situation.
“Natalie!” “Aunt, Uncle came back because he was afraid you’d worry… After all, anyone living in Simeria knew about the several lords of the Entes family.
It was fortunate that these lords were not united.
If they were, who knew what would happen?
Now, everything seemed to be related to the Entes family.
“You’re becoming more and more outrageous!” Heather scolded before she abruptly hung up +25 BONUS Natalie listened to the dial tone on the other end of the phone as she sat on the bed in a daze, completely unresponsive.
What… just happened?
She knew her family was very worried, but she really had no choice. When she learned about Bianca being in Malcolm’s hands, she had to do this.
Once Heather found out about it, she didn’t only call Natalie to bombard her with questions.
She had also called Stephen and gave him an earful.
At the breakfast table, both their expressions were unpleasant.
Natalie held a small bowl, her face almost buried in it.
Clank!
The cup in the man’s hand hit the table with some force.
From the sound, it was easy to tell that Stephen was somewhat angry.
Natalie buried her face even deeper.
“I thought you didn’t care about anything. So, you do know that you’ve done something wrong, hmm?!” Stephen said.
Yes, Natalie’s current behavior was like that of a child who had done something wrong.
Whether it was right or wrong, Natalie wasn’t sure.
But seeing Stephen so angry, she felt a bit scared. After all, he wasn’t the only one angry. Heather was also upset now.
“Did your aunt call you?” Stephen asked in a huff.
“Yeah,” Natalie replied.
Finally, she put down the small bowl in her hand and looked at Stephen with some unease.
An intense glint flashed in Stephen’s eyes. Then, he sighed and said, “Seriously, you’re just…!” “Uncle, do you think Malcolm is despicable?” There are more despicable people than him. What he did is something we anticipated long ago.” “But what about last night…” +25 BONUS She thought about how Stephen had agreed to her plan last night. Somehow, it now seemed like a joke.
The people of the Entes family were very meticulous. Since they forced Natalie to sign the marriage contract, they definitely didn’t plan to give her a chance to back out of it.
She had thought she could handle it. But now, everything had fallen apart.
The news was now known to everyone in the city.
If something unexpected happened, everyone would be in trouble.
Natalie was angry, but there was nothing she could do.
Stephen looked at her and said, “We have to proceed with the original plan:” “Huh?” “Now, it depends on whose reputation is more important.” Natalie was silent.
What did Stephen mean?
She didn’t understand Stephen’s words at all.
Did he mean that it was about who was more shameless at this critical moment?
“Nat.
” “Yes?” “No matter what happens, you can’t continue having a relationship with Malcolm,” Stephen said with a heavy tone.
Natalie nodded. “Of course.” She had known this from the moment she left the island, but she hadn’t expected to end up this situation.
Now, she had a headache just thinking about it.
Regardless, the most important thing now was to resolve the matter with Bianca first.
As for other things, they could be dealt with later.
in The atmosphere in the study of Maple Peak was chilling.
Irwin held a tablet in his hand, his eyes lacking the usual warmth.
The air around him was cold and dangerous.
Dylan also stood on the side with a serious expression.
After a long time, Irwin finally said coldly, “How is Stephen taking this?” Undoubtedly, he had seen the news of Natalie and Malcolm at the airport. Their clasped hands were prominently featured.
It seemed like they were boldly announcing to the entire Simeria that the current heiress of the Jarvis family was now together with Malcolm, the sixth lord of the Entes family.
“The Jarvis family is now in chaos!” Dylan said.
This was the scene they had anticipated.
A dark shadow flashed in Irwin’s eyes, followed by a hint of mockery.
“Stephen has always kept a close eye on his children, especially regarding arranged marriages.
“Yes, sir,” Dylan nodded.
They still remembered about the Entes family’s fifth son proposing to Winona when she was still in Simeria.
At that time, Stephen had outright rejected the proposal without hesitation.
As for Natalie… Although Stephen and Irwin had been friends for many years and had always been on good terms, Stephen had started distancing himself and Natalie from Irwin when he discovered that Irwin used to be close to Cedric.
Stephen was a cautious person, especially when it came to his children.
Now that the Jarvis family was involved in such a manner with Malcolm, it was easy to imagine the storm brewing on Stephen’s side.
“What should we do on our end?” Dylan looked at Irwin and asked anxiously.
What should they do?
Irwin had to admit that things had gone beyond what he had anticipated, and this was probably the last thing Stephen wanted to see. novelbin Under such circumstances… “Let’s wait and see how Mr. Jarvis handles it this time,” Irwin said.
He was also looking forward to seeing Stephen’s next move.
25 BONUS He didn’t need to imagine it… If Stephen got angry, the whole city would likely tremble. Although he was old, he wasn’t a man who would brush things off when it came to the protection of his children.
Malcolm seemed to think he had the situation under control. However, as long as Stephen didn’t back down, this matter would never be resolved.
Simeria was in for an entertaining show.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 330- Deception Between Us Meanwhile, Bianca was curled up weakly on a bed.
On the other hand, Malcolm was already dressed neatly with his usual air of dignity and elegance.
It must be said that anyone who had seen Malcolm would marvel at how favored he was by the heavens. However, despite being the recipient of divine favor, this man was truly terrifying and malevolent in the darkness of the night.
The man gazed at Bianca’s limp figure, his eyes filled with contempt.
“You can leave now,” he said with an icy tone.
Leave?
Finally, she could escape from this place.
She had been confined to this place for two whole years, cut off from the outside world. Sometimes, she even felt like she was on the verge of becoming part of the landscape here.
Bianca couldn’t believe there was a day when she could leave.
However, the way this opportunity had come about left her heart trembling.
The man walked to the door, his hand resting on the handle. As he opened the door, he glanced sideways with a smirk on his l*ps.
“I’m looking forward to the day you return and beg me.” Beg him?
Anger flashed in Bianca’s eyes.
Before she could respond, Malcolm continued, “Let’s make a bet. You… will willingly come back here.” “Dream on!” Bianca retorted angrily.
“Hah.” The man chuckled coldly, then left.
Bianca shivered violently when she was alone.
Beg?!
When he uttered that word, she knew Malcolm hadn’t let her leave for real.
Now, he was giving her a choice to leave or to stay, each with its own consequences.
She knew without a doubt that if she truly left, she would face a nightmare she never wanted Malcolm kept his word. At ten in the morning, someone delivered Bianca to Lotus Villa.
Two whole years…!
When Natalie saw Bianca, her throat tightened.
Bianca was dressed in a long black dress, her carefully styled curls framing her face. She appeared delicate and thin, and her appearance highlighted the hardships she had endured in the past two years.
Even so, her eyes still carried the familiar pride and resilience that Natalie recognized.
“Bia!” Natalie stepped forward and embraced Bianca tightly. She buried her head in Bianca’s chest, just like she used to do in Verde City. Whenever she felt aggrieved, it was this embrace that gave her solace.
“Ugh…!” However, Natalie heard a sharp gasp from Bianca as soon as she embraced her.
Natalie stiffened and cautiously released Bianca, looking up at her with nervous anticipation.
With just one glance, Natalie’s eyes widened.
At this moment, Bianca’s gaze was chilling as she looked at her… “Bia!” Slap!
Natalie was speechless. Bianca’s slap had caught her completely off guard.
The air seemed to freeze in response.
Natalie’s eyes held a momentary emptiness. Then, she looked at Bianca in bewilderment.
“Bia, you…” “Natalie, why did you pretend to be gracious just to steal my man?” Natalie was silent.
What? She… At this moment, the look in Bianca’s eyes was sharp, lacking any trace of the familiar warmth Natalie knew so well.
Bianca stared at her as if Natalie had betrayed her, but Natalie tried to explain, “Bia, it was… “Enough.” “Stay away from Malcolm. Also, our friendship is over.” Bianca’s tone was harsh, and Natalie felt her blood freeze. The disbelief in her eyes now turned to shock. She obviously had not expected Bianca to say such words.
Was Bianca really breaking ties with her over Malcolm?
“Bia, what are you doing?” Natalie’s voice was choked.
“I supported you when you wanted to divorce Cedric. I’ll support you if you want to be with Irwin or even Caleb. But, Natalie…” When Bianca reached this point, she paused.
Staring into Natalie’s eyes, her gaze became even sharper. Natalie knew Bianca as a powerful woman at the pinnacle of her career, but her sharpness was never directed at Natalie.
Yet now… Tears rolled down Natalie’s cheeks as they stared into each other’s eyes.
The sharpness in Bianca’s eyes and the sorrow in Natalie’s formed a stark contrast.
They gazed at each other for a long time.
Finally, when Natalie pulled Bianca up and sniffed as she said, “What are you doing, Bia?” “Natalie, leave him. Annul the marriage. Things between him and me are not what It…” At this point, Bianca paused again.
Looking into Natalie’s eyes, her gaze became even sharper.
Natalie was silent.
It was what?
It wasn’t like what Natalie had thought?!
you think.
If it really wasn’t like what Natalie had thought, then why didn’t anyone who knew the truth tell her about what had happened with Bianca for the past two years?
Now, Bianca was telling her that she was wrong.
Looking at the distress in Natalie’s eyes, Bianca’s heart clenched painfully, and the intensity in ” She took a deep breath and said, “I love him!” She said those words so coldly.
However, no one knew what these three words truly meant to Bianca. She was someone who didn’t understand love. In the past years, there had never been anyone who had captured her heart.
Until now, she didn’t understand what it meant to love someone.
The next moment, Natalie grabbed Bianca’s ice–cold hands. Bianca instinctively tried to pull away, but Natalie’s grip only tightened.
At that moment, Bianca could clearly feel Natalie’s small hands trembling.
Natalie sniffled. “Stop lying to me.
“Natalie!” “Are you trying to tell me that you’ve fallen in love with a vile man who beat you so horrendously?” Natalie rolled up Bianca’s sleeves, revealing the still–fading marks on her arms.
Bianca shuddered. novelbin Natalie’s eyes were teary. “You’re such a fool!” Did Bianca think she could deceive Natalie and force Natalie away from Malcolm in this way?
And then, she planned to go back to him for Natalie’s sake?!
Did she think Natalie knew nothing?!
Little did she know…!
When Cedric used Bianca to threaten her back then, he had already exposed everything about— Bianca’s situation.
Now, how could Bianca hide from her?
Natalie still held Bianca’s hand tightly, and the latter’s pretense and determination had completely collapsed and scattered, Bianca tried to move her l*ps to say something, but her throat felt too tight, and she couldn’t utter a single word.
Natalie cautiously touched the wounds on Bianca’s arm, and a painful sensation welled her chest.
She knew these wounds were far more than what she could see, like the ones Cedric had shown What had Malcolm done to Bianca?
Why did she need five stitches?
And he had also named her a number…!
Just thinking about the injuries and humiliation Malcolm had inflicted on Bianca made Natalie feel a suffocating pain in her chest.
