Ch. 341..350
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 341-Irwin Being Gentle Again In Hillside Villa, the dim lights created an eerie sense of quietness.
Natalie’s phone vibrated, and she glanced at the number.
It was Irwin.
That man…!
She answered in a flat tone, “Hello.” At this moment, Malcolm’s words suddenly flashed in Natalie’s mind.
He had told Natalie never to try to manipulate a man who was heartless and didn’t love her, and then he had named Irwin as an example!
Although Malcolm wasn’t a good person, she had to admit his words were true.
Irwin treated her with utmost tenderness, but she had never seen genuine love in his eyes.
“I’m downstairs.” Natalie was momentarily stunned.
She stood up, walked to the French window, and saw Irwin’s imposing black G–Wagon parked beside her car.
He wore a black windbreaker, exuding elegance and clarity.
“I’ll be right down,” Natalie said and hung up the phone.
She turned around and grabbed her coat, throwing it over her pajamas. Then, she slpped on her slppers before going downstairs.
Lydia was busy in the living room, and Irwin didn’t come in.
Lydia was surprised when she saw Natalie coming down. “Miss, what are you…” “I’m not going out.” “Oh, then…?” “Irwin’s here. You can carry on with what you were doing.” Natalie was calm. She knew that ever since Cedric forced her to drive that night, people here would be If she drove at night, they would definitely get into trouble with Heather.
When Lydia heard it was Irwin, she breathed a sigh of relief.
In these years, everyone in the Jarvis family knew how much Irwin cared for Natalie.
It also seemed that they had reached the stage of discussing marriage, but something happened that novelbin caused them to stop.
Afterward, Natalie and Irwin acted as if nothing had happened between them.
Irwin was leaning against the car and smoking while he waited. When he caught sight of Natalie, he dropped the cigarette butt and extinguished it.
Natalie momentarily felt strange when she noted Irwin’s subconscious concern for her.
She approached Irwin and asked, “Why are you here at this hour?” It was already ten o’clock at night.
Irwin habitually grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer. With one hand, he caressed her cheek tenderly.
From a distance, this scene was beautiful and ambiguous.
Irwin had been distant lately, and now he was tender towards her. Natalie instinctively stepped back. But in the next moment, the man’s large hand on her wrist settled on her delicate waist.
like this!?” Before Natalie could speak, Irwin said, “Are you still not used to being in contact with me like this!?” “Irv.” “It’s ridiculous. Is Lord Malcolm someone you can casually provoke?” Natalie was silent.
In the man’s soft tone, there was a hint of reproach.
The small sense of resistance in Natalie’s heart grew stronger at his words. Despite Irwin’s apparent gentleness, she could sense… something dangerous in him right now.
In the past, she always unconsciously maintained a certain distance when interacting with Irwin.
But after what happened at the airport… Yves‘ firm attitude back then made her more aware that Irwin was more complex than she thought!
Even though they had known each other for so many years, she absolutely didn’t understand him. She only knew that he was the master of Maple Peak.
It was exactly the same as when she was with Cedric. She thought she had seen it all, unaware of the vast world behind it.
“Does it matter? I’ve already provoked him,” Natalie said with a muffled voice.
Irwin chuckled lightly once Natalie finished speaking.
Natalie gave the man a resentful glance. Malcolm wasn’t someone anyone should casually provoke, and he was causing headaches for both her and Stephen.
Yet, this man was still smiling.
“You’re still laughing…!” Just mentioning it was infuriating.
She initially thought Malcolm would naturally back off as long as she severed her ties with Stephen.
However, no one expected Malcolm to do the opposite. Instead of backing down, he even took things. one step further, which infuriated everyone!
Irwin’s long, slender figures gently rubbed her eyes as he said, “Don’t worry, he won’t do anything to you.” At least, not for now.
“Whether he will or not, the entire Simeria is waiting for our wedding.” Natalie said gravely.
Speaking of which, Natalie felt that Malcolm had played her and the Jarvis family. In their initial plan, Malcolm was only interested in profits.
However, he didn’t conform to that stereotype.
It was hard to understand what the man was thinking at this time.
At this moment!
Whether Natalie was genuinely angry or saying these words just for Irwin to hear, the man didn’t respond.
You can get surgery for your eyes now, right?” The man’s icy fingertips rubbed her eyes as he spoke softly.
Natalie was silent, and she stiffened when she heard his words. Speaking of her eyes brought back some She would never forget how these eyes were once blurry and unclear. She would also always remember that Cedric said Isabella needed surgery for her eyes, and in the end… he had chosen Isabella.
“Yeah,” She responded quietly, not wanting to say more.
Natalie didn’t want to continue this topic and instead asked, “It’s late. Why did you come here?” “I’m leaving Simeria for a while.” Natalie was silent. At these words, her heart skipped a beat.
“Where are you going?” “Wexford.” Wexford?!
Natalie had never been there, but Stephen often mentioned it, saying that it was quite chaotic.
A certain family controlled everything in that place all year round, and even the person with the highest status there was influenced by them.
It also seemed that Stephen had some involvement with Wexford, She had previously heard about it in conversations between Stephen and some other people in his study.
However, she didn’t pay much attention since she managed Regal Horizons International, which had no connection with Wexford.
When Irwin brought it up, Natalie immediately associated it with the ‘chaos‘ Stephen mentioned.
But before she could speak, Irwin said, “Cedric is over there.” “What?” Cedric?!
Why would he?
“Nat, it’ll probably be a while before I return this time. During this period, just remember one thing…” What?
“No matter what happens, don’t marry Malcolm!” Irwin said in a grave tone.
Natalie had never considered marrying Malcolm But now, the situation was gaining traction, and Over the years, the Entes family’s lords had always wanted some connection with the Jarvis family.
Now was an even more crucial time, as the Entes family’s heir was about to be selected. With this situation, Malcolm wouldn’t easily let go of this advantage that he had gotten.
“I know Yves was reckless last time, but Nat…” Irwin trailed off and touched her cheeks gently.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 342-None of You Are Good People Irwin’s gentle tone turned serious as he said, “Lord Malcolm is not a good person.” Natalie was silent.
Cedric had said the exact words more than once before.
Now, Natalie couldn’t help but think… Who among them was a good person?
None of them were!
Yes, that was what Natalie felt.
Cedric wasn’t a good person. Neither was Malcolm, and neither… was Irwin.
After Irwin left, Natalie felt shaken by his words. She couldn’t calm down for a long time, even when she tried to relax under the dim lights of the villa.
An hour later, Natalie arrived at Lotus Villa.
It was almost midnight, and Stephen frowned when Natalie entered his study.
“Did the driver bring you here?” Stephen clearly sounded upset.
Natalie nodded. “Yes.” Stephen asked, “Is something wrong?” Since moving out from Lotus Villa, Natalie rarely stopped by so late at night.
So, did something happen today?!
“Cedric is in Wexford,” Natalie said.
As soon as she said that, Natalie saw a flash of shock in Stephen’s eyes.
“Irwin is also going there!” Natalie continued.
What?!” Stephen’s voice got louder, and his eyes widened when he looked at Natalie.
Seeing Stephen’s reaction, Natalie knew that something was definitely going on.
At this moment, there was a serious glint in Stephen’s eyes.
“Uncle, what does Wexford have to do with Regal Horizons?” “Nothing,” Stephen answered immediately.
The answer was immediate, but it lacked conviction in Natalie’s shaken heart.
Stephen looked at her, and the serious glint in his eyes intensified. ‘Did Irwin tell you “Yes, Irwin came to Hillside Villa an hour ago to see me. He said he was leaving and wouldn’t return for a while.” “And he also told you about Cedric being there?” “Yes.” Stephen fell silent. As he clasped his hands together, a chill filled the air.
Natalie had never seen this side of Stephen before, and for a moment, she couldn’t quite understand.
After a long silence, Stephen finally spoke, just as Natalie was about to ask something.
“So, there’s such a hidden connection among them.” “What hidden connection?” Natalie didn’t quite understand Stephen’s words. Ever since she returned to Simeria, she had known that Simeria was a complex place!
She was also well aware that the people around her might not be as simple as they seemed.
But she had never thought that the situation between Irwin and Cedric would be so chaotic and have a connection with Wexford.
And over the years, Cedric was…!
“Nati “Yes?” I’m going to Wexford.” At these words, Natalie’s heart sank even more.
Something big was about to happen!
That was the realization that flashed through Natalie’s mind at this moment..
Her heart clenched painfully as she looked at Stephen. “Uncle…” “Don’t worry.” Seeing the concern in Natalie’s eyes, Stephen reassured her with a gentle tone.
However, Natalie couldn’t calm down.
“Now, listen carefully to what I’m about to say.
Although Stephen told her not to worry, his expression was grave.
“Natalie,” he began, “you need to return to Regal Horizons. Also, no matter what happens during this time.
or what demands Lord Malcolm makes, don’t agree to any of it!” Undoubtedly, Stephen’s meeting with Malcolm had once again reached an impasse.
It was a crucial time for Malcolm now, and he wouldn’t agree to anything Stephen offered.
However, with significant events looming in Wexford, Stephen had to go.
“Uncle…!” When Natalie heard Stephen say this, she knew that Simeria’s affairs were also critical.
However, even in the face of Malcolm’s relentless pressure, Stephen had no choice but to go to Wexford.
This indicated that things were even more serious than she had imagined.
“There’s more!” Before Natalie could finish speaking. Stephen interrupted her and said, “Don’t reveal my, Irwin’s, or Cedric’s whereabouts, especially not to Lord Malcolm!” Natalie was silent, and her expression changed.
So, was Malcolm also connected to Wexford?
Just what was happening right now?
“Nat, remember. You’re not just defending yourself now, but also restraining Lord Malcolm!” Stephen said.
Natalie was silent “Even if Bianca weren’t involved, you would still need to face this challenge!” Natalie’s heart jumped to her throat instantly.
What? Even if Bianca wasn’t involved, she would have had to face Malcolm eventually?!
Originally, this matter arose because of Bianca. But now, Natalie realized that Bianca’s involvement had only pushed forward her confrontation with Malcolm!
In the seriousness of Stephen’s words, Natalie suddenly learned that everything she had undergone in her business training was nothing compared to now.
Those challenges, difficult as they were, seemed trivial compared to the present situation.
“Do you understand?” Stephen asked.
“You absolutely must not him know that we have gone to Wexford.” Natalie could only silently nod after seeing the severity in Stephen’s eyes.
She felt like she had been pushed to some peak with a howling cold wind around her at this moment, and that she was the key to maintaining the stability there.
Stephen went on to explain a few more things.
After that, he hurriedly left without even waiting for dawn.
Stephen’s urgency made Natalie even more aware of how complicated the situation had become.
On a private jet, a man swirled a glass of red wine in his hand. His gaze was deep as he looked at the novelbin countless lights below that resembled ants.
Dylan’s eyes were also intense. He said, “Mr. Jarvis is probably preparing to leave Simeria now.” “Yeah. Irwin nodded.
It seemed that everything was under control.
Dylan furrowed his brows. “What about Lord Malcolm…?” “Don’t worry. Stephen will explain everything clearly. He won’t let anyone from the Entes family know about this Stephen had always been a crafty strategist. He must have anticipated all this long ago. How could he Stephen would naturally know what to do at this point.
Knowing that Stephen was also on his way to Wexford, a strong sense of concern flashed in Dylan’s eyes.
“Will Lord Malcolm take advantage of the situation to pressure Ms. Walker into marriage?” After all, a marriage alliance with the Jarvis family would undoubtedly benefit Lord Malcolm, even if he missed out on the affairs in Wexford.
As long as Malcolm married Natalie, he wouldn’t lose anything.
As soon as Dylan finished speaking, the air in the cabin became colder.
Irwin’s eyes flickered darkly, but he ultimately didn’t respond to Dylan’s question!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 343-Forcing the Marriage They had all left.
All of a sudden, everyone was gone! novelbin That night, Natalie didn’t sleep a wink at Hillside Villa. She knew better than anyone else what she would face after daybreak.
Putting aside Cedric… Irwin and Stephen have been in Simeria all this time.
No o one would pay too much attention if they were gone for only a few days.
But what if it was a long time?
And things would be especially bad for her. She was the niece that Stephen had just severed ties with.
When she suddenly returned to Regal Horizons International, what kind of ruckus would that cause?!
Wexford… What does it mean to them, and what does it mean to her?!
At this point, she probably knew Irwin and Cedric had dragged her into the heart of this matter.
Last night, she didn’t directly confront Irwin. However, she only maintained a pitiful and laughable dignity on the surface…!
Back when she had gotten together with Cedric, had he approached her deliberately with a purpose in mind?
She didn’t know!
But Irwin definitely made her understand that there were no wholeheartedly good people in the world.
The repeated rescues Irwin made in Verde City were nothing more than a long–planned approach!
She wasn’t thinking this way because of a sudden realization or anything, but rather… it was because she now knew that none of those people were good.
When Natalie woke up, she felt dizzy. Lydia and Xyla were worried when they saw Natalie in this state.
“Miss, why is your complexion so bad?!” “I didn’t sleep well,” Natalie said bluntly.
In just one night, Simeria underwent earth–shaking changes.
If she didn’t handle it carefully in the time to come, who knew what kind of mess would happen?
How could Natalie sleep at a time like this?
The whole night, she was thinking about how to deal with things from today onwards.
“Miss, Madam has already said you need to rest well,” Lydia said in a worried tone.
Natalie felt her head ache at the mention of Heather. When it came to Natalie’s health, she was most worried that Heather had been right all along.
le over.” She took a deep breath and said, “Have Wendy and Julian come “Alright.” Lydia went downstairs to make the call.
Natalie took a seat at the breakfast table and drank a glass of milk. Once she was done, she felt her spirits lifting a little.
After thinking all night, she still felt that she couldn’t go directly back to Regal Horizons International now!
Whatever happens, she would deal with it here first. She would wait until she couldn’t hide away anymore before thinking about her next step!
However… In the morning, the calm she wanted to maintain was broken by Malcolm’s arrival!
The two sat under the wooden pavilion amidst the lingering fragrance of tea. Then, the man suddenly.
asked, “Where did your uncle and Irwin go last night?” Natalie remained silent. However, she stiffened at his words, causing the tea in her hand to spill onto the table before her.
Obviously, Natalie didn’t expect Malcolm to be so sensitive.
Stephen had just left, and Malcolm had already harbored suspicions.
What would happen next?
The man looked at the spilled tea on the intricately carved tea table, and the look in his eyes intensified.
The smile on his l*ps also widened.
Natalie took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart. Then, she calmly said, “Something Her response was somewhat reasonable.
re apparent After all, the distance between Stephen and Irwin had become during this period, and she didn’t believe that Malcolm was unaware of it.
In such a situation, it seemed logical that Natalie wouldn’t know Irwin’s whereabouts.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Natalie asked.
Malcolm remained silent for a long time after Natalie finished speaking and continued to stare deeply at her.
Natalie complained inwardly. She knew what this rotten man was thinking. She hoped he wouldn’t pull anything funny at this time.
Looking at his eagle–like eyes, Natalie knew that… she might not be able to fend him off if he did anything!
Regardless of the chaos in Wexford, Natalie was now praying that Stephen would return quickly Malcolm was truly terrifying!
“Look at you. You look guilty at your own words!” Malcolm laughed with a hint of disdain in his tone.
Natalie was speechless, and her back instantly broke into a cold sweat. Malcolm’s words were like a direct hit to the heart.
Such a person is not just terrifying. He was beyond that!
Natalie could already imagine what Bianca had endured when she had been in Malcolm’s hands. Putting aside the ruthless methods he had, his words alone were enough to make people suffer.
Especially the degrading numbering that Malcolm had called Bianca…!!
Only a guy like Malcolm could come up with that.
“I’m not guilty of anything.” Natalie said somewhat angrily.
“You’re still so stubborn!” “You…” “Never mind. It’s good that they’re gone anyway!” Malcolm continued vaguely before Natalie could finish her sentence.
His words gave Natalie a bad feeling.
Then, he said, “Three days later is a good day. Shall we get our marriage certificate first?” Natalie’s mind went blank for a moment after hearing his words. Last night, she had already thought about this.
When Stephen wasn’t around, would Malcolm take the opportunity to force a marriage?
Now, she also knew what this marriage meant to Malcolm.
Knowing was one thing, but it happening so quickly was another.
She took a deep breath, trying to remain calm as she said, “My uncle cannot agree to your request. Even if we get married, you won’t get what you want.” “I don’t care.” “What?” “I just want you. You’re quite interesting.” Stephen was a sly old fox. He would remain stubborn and unyielding no matter the situation.
However, Malcolm thought keeping Natalie by his side would be a good idea. Over the years, the Entes family had suffered quite a bit under Stephen’s control.
So, even if Malcolm didn’t want anything, it was good enough for him if he could make Stephen suffer some losses!
Natalie was speechless. “You…!” She didn’t have any words for him right now!
The man chuckled as he stood up and looked at Natalie with deep eyes..
He turned around to leave but suddenly stopped as if he remembered something. He turned back to Natalie and lifted her chin with his slender fingers.
The distance between them was too close, and the man’s warm breath sprayed on her cheek.
Natalie subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but the man held her chin firmly!
His grip was painful, and she glared at him fiercely.
Malcolm’s smile deepened. “You don’t look impressive at all. Your face is too pale, you know? You need to get out more and get more sun when you’re at my side!” Without waiting for her response, Malcolm threw her aside with a laugh.
He seemed to be in a good mood, but Natalie’s face turned stormy!
Get out and get more sun…?!
Just the fact that she had been with him at the airport and the banquet had already stirred up so many rumors. Natalie knew that countless women had started to resent her because of it.
If she went out more while she was together with him, she was sure a horde of women would be waiting to beat her up!
Malcolm was really a malicious man!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 344-Incredibly Insightful Man To make matters worse, Malcolm claimed she wasn’t impressive!
With her height of 146 cm, it would be even weirder if she was impressive!
Just then, Malcolm’s phone vibrated.
Glancing at Natalie, whose eyes seemed to be spitting fire, he casually answered his phone.
“What is it?” Malcolm asked coldly.
Natalie couldn’t hear what was being said on the other end of the line, but in the next moment… Malcolm’s sinister expression darkened further, and the smirk that had been present moments ago vanished.
Caught off guard by his sharp gaze, Natalie’s heart skipped a beat.
Then, Malcolm said to the person on the other end of the line, “Get her back here!” Each word carried a malicious tone.
His words were directed at the phone, but the menacing look was fixed on Natalie.
In an instant, she understood who he was talking about.
Her heart climbed up to her throat.
Malcolm hung up the phone.
Natalie stood up. “Who are you trying to bring back?” Malcolm approached her. He had a condescending look in his eyes, and he carried himself like a king.
Natalie’s heart trembled as she looked at him.
“You know, don’t you?” he said in a tone full of accusation.
“Know what?” “She’s pregnant!” Natalie was silent, and her heart clenched even more painfully when she heard Malcolm’s words.
So he had been referring to Bianca when he spoke to the person on the phone, right?
Was he trying to bring Bianca back to Simeria?!
Natalie pursed her l*ps and looked at Malcolm, unsure of how to respond for a moment.
There was a dangerous glint in Malcolm’s eyes.
Natalie knew better than anyone that if Bianca got caught again, the consequences wouldn’t be as minor as last time. It would go beyond being humiliated by being called a number.
She didn’t know what else awaited Bianca, but she knew… That Bianca would die if she was caught.
Yes, she would die…!
She would definitely die!
When Malcolm turned away, Natalie asked, “What happened to the child?” Natalie didn’t bother denying her knowledge of the matter.
“She had an abortion in the hospital.” Natalie closed her eyes when she heard Malcolm’s reply.
Natalie had expected this outcome when she discovered Bianca’s pregnancy. However, she didn’t expect Malcolm to be powerful to this extent.
He had received the news so quickly after Bianca had the procedure.
In other words… “You never really let her go, did you?” Indeed, he never did.
Even though Natalie had sent Bianca away from Simeria, Malcolm’s people closely followed right after.
That was the only way he could have received news of Bianca’s abortion so quickly.
the man’s retreating figure, a coldness flashed in Natalie’s eyes.
That’s enough that should be enough of their past grievances, Malcolm had utterly torn apart Blanca’s once proud demeanor Faye had died, and she was free from her suffering now.
However, Bianca endured Malcolm’s humillation and retaliation for a solid two years.
This prolonged period of torment wasn’t something anyone could endure, yet Malcolm still wasn’t satisfied?!
The man turned back to look at her with a dangerously intense gaze.
However, Natalie met his eyes fearlessly and sternly said, “Let her go!” Natalie knew that Malcolm was an extremely dangerous man. She didn’t want Bianca to be caught by him again. It would be challenging to get Bianca out of Malcolm’s hands and send her away from Simeria if Natalie needed to do it again.
Malcolm had been about to leave, but he suddenly turned around and sat back at the intricately carved tea table.
The air around him was colder than before. He picked up the now cold tea in front of him and took a sip. Then, he looked sharply at Natalie and said, “How about three days from now?” Natalie was silent.
Undoubtedly, Malcolm was now forcefully pushing for a marriage. The inheritance process for the Entes family’s heir was approaching, and the Jarvis family was undoubtedly one of his winning cards!
Natalie knew that Malcolm surely had other advantages in his hands to secure the inheritance.
However, since the Jarvis family had initiated this move, Malcolm wouldn’t allow it to fall into the hands of anyone else in the Entes family.
So, Malcolm would only feel more secure if he held Natalie in his grasp.
Natalie recalled Stephen’s instructions from last night. She didn’t expect to face this issue so soon.
She knew… she couldn’t agree to it.
Once she agreed to this marriage, the real trouble would begin.
But Bianca…!
The two stared at each other for a long time in silence.
Suddenly, the butler came in, Interrupting the standoff between Natalie and Malcolm.
Miss Displeasure flashed in Malcolm’s eyes, but Natalie ignored him and looked at the butler.
“What is it?” “Mr. Lowry has arrived.” Natalie looked at Malcolm, only to see him light a cigarette. Upon hearing that one of Irwin’s people had arrived, he simply shrugged.
At this moment, Natalie’s mind was not filled with memories of Irwin’s gentleness last night but rather… the day at the airport.
“Have him wait in the living room for me.” “Yes, ma’am.” The butler left, leaving Natalie and Malcolm alone in the wooden pavilion again.
The man took a puff of his cigarette and said in a deep voice, “Natalie, Irwin is problematic. I’m sure you’ve felt it.” None of them were good people!
Natalie wished she could just say these words directly in Malcolm’s face!
Instead of doing so, she sat across from Malcolm silently.
Malcolm chuckled at her and said, “Your uncle and Irwin went to Wexford, right?” Natalie remained silent, but her heart clenched painfully at his words.
Her gaze became even more guarded as she continued looking at Malcolm. She tried hard to recall if she had leaked any information from their conversation just now.
She didn’t think so.
However, this man was too terrifying.
He continued, “Irwin came to see you last night, didn’t he? As soon as he left, you went to Lotus Villa.” “Have you been spying on me?!” Natalie’s tone became increasingly displeased. Now, she strongly felt Malcolm was truly as terrifying as the rumors suggested.
No, he was even scarier than the rumors. He seemingly had control over everything in Simerial Malcolm ignored her and continued, “Before this, your uncle didn’t know where Cedric had gone. But then, Irwin suddenly came and told you where he was going and where Cedric was. Did you really not suspect anything?” Suspect?
What was there to suspect?
“He deliberately led your uncle to Wexford,” Malcolm said mockingly.
When Natalie processed his words, her complexion worsened.
Ever since she sensed the connection between Irwin and Cedric, she knew Irwin had likely been using her all along.
But she hadn’t expected his manipulation to reach such an extreme level! novelbin “You’re really a sucker! First Cedric and now Irwin!” Malcolm said these words in an ungraceful way that made people dislike him even more.
“You speak as if you’re a good person!” Natalie retorted.
“When have I hidden the fact that I intend to use you?” Malcolm said. “Or are you too naive, thinking I’m marrying you out of love?” The man chuckled lightly.
Natalie glared at him fiercely.
This man was just…!
His future wife would definitely suffer!
Before Natalie could express her anger, Malcolm casually added, “I wonder if Cedric knew your true identity when he approached you back then…”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 345-Letting Go of All Pretenses Natalie’s mind went blank, and she didn’t return to her senses for a long time She didn’t even know when Malcolm had left.
In her mind, there were lingering images of her beginnings with Cedric, the experiences they shared, and the horrifying outcomes.
Undoubtedly, her modest height meant she wasn’t the most beautiful girl in school. At most, she was delicate and petite.
However, there were plenty of other attractive girls..
So, why was Cedric singularly fixated on her?
Their seven–year–long relationship had been filled with tender care, but it suddenly turned into a marriage that felt like she had stepped into hell.
Her world had been turned upside down after that. There were so many differences in life before and after their marriage. There was also the cruel aftermath and… That massive fire…!
And then the fire at the detention center…!
Everything, including the reunion with Cedric in Simeria, had always been considered an unforgettable past and an inescapable nightmare.
However, Malcolm’s words added doubt to the entire journey, regardless of whether she looked at her past or current life.
Wexford was a peculiar place.
What roles did Cedric, Irwin, and Stephen play there? Was there any grudge between Cedric and Stephen?
If so, did Malcolm’s words mean…?
At this moment, a chill ran up Natalie’s spine. The feeling came so quickly and suddenly, and it terrified herl Just then, the vibration of her phone snapped Natalie back to reality.
She answered hastily. “Hello?” It’s me.
She didn’t even know when Malcolm had left.

She answered hastily. “Hello?” it’s me.
Leon’s voice came from the other end, and Natalie instantly regained her composure.
“What’s going on?” “We’re facing some trouble here. It seems that Lord Malcolm never planned on letting Ms. Sanders go,” Leon explained.
Although she already knew, Natalie couldn’t contain her anger!
“What happened?” Leon briefed Natalie on the situation. Essentially, Malcolm’s people had been tailing Leon and Bianca since they left Simeria.
After finally shaking them off, Bianca had been prepared to get an abortion. However, to their surprise, Malcolm’s people showed up again!
Based on Leon’s intuition, he knew that Malcolm’s people were quite formidable.
Natalie’s head throbbed intensely. “What about the child? Has it been dealt with?” Natalie was sure that Bianca didn’t want the child!
With what Malcolm had done to Bianca, a proud woman like her wouldn’t give birth to his child willingly.
Natalie recalled how angry Malcolm had been on the phone just now, and all she could think was that Bianca needed to get away from the man!
For that to happen, Bianca absolutely couldn’t give birth to his child!
“There wasn’t enough time,” Leon replied.
Natalie’s heart tightened once again at his answer. After quickly cursing Malcolm in her mind, she spoke with a tense tone to Leon, “Protect her well.” “Yes, ma’am.
Blanca..!
Returning to Simeria was not an option for her at the moment. Malcolm would undoubtedly use Blanca to threaten Natalie if he caught Bianca.
Furthermore, Bianca would undergo another round of torment if she fell into Malcolm’s hands again!
for she hung up the phone, Natalie took a deep breath and added solemnly, “Leon, ensure her safety:
Malcolm’s people bring her back, and… And what?
Natalie paused for a moment before her tone grew heavier, “I know how capable you are. If his people could find you, it means they’re formidable.” “I understand *
With Natalie’s affirmation and the warning, Leon became even more cautious.
Natalie emphasized, “Make sure he doesn’t get his hands on her!” “Yes, ma’am!” After she ended the call, Natalie’s world seemed to quiet down. However, her mind continued to churn.
Simeria was in chaos–it couldn’t get any more chaotic than this.
Her world also couldn’t get any more chaotic!
Natalie was someone content with her current situation, but she would never allow anyone to trample on her.
Now aware that Irwin had once again manipulated her last night, she didn’t even bother maintaining a superficial friendliness.
“What do you want?” “Mr. Frazier has asked for you to go to Wexford.” Natalie raised an eyebrow at Roland, and a sharp glint appeared in her eyes.
These people were so shameless!
“Hah. Why should I?” Natalie’s tone was upset.
Irwin…!
Roland looked at her with eyes that lacked the previous carefreeness. There was a serious glint in his eyes.
There was mockery in Natalie’s eyes when she looked at him.
you stay here, you’ll only be pressured into marrying Lord Malcolm. You won’t be able to resist himl Natalie remained silent.
The Jarvis family shouldn’t get involved with the Entes family!” Roland was right!
The Jarvis family shouldn’t…!
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have resisted for so many years.
Natalie took a deep breath and said, “If that’s the only reason, then there’s no need to bother. I can handle these matters on my own.” Natalie’s rejection was cold and indifferent, clearly reflecting a sense of estrangement towards Irwin in her words.
Many things were unclear to her now!
She didn’t care if it was Cedric or Irwin. She wanted to stay away from all of it. If possible, she didn’t want to get get too deeply involved with any of the significant forces in Simeria, “So, you won’t go to Wexford?” Roland’s gaze became more intense.
“That’s right,” Natalie replied.
“Ms. Sanders must be very frustrated with her relationship with Lord Malcolm now,” Roland remarked.
Natalie remained silent, glaring at Roland with icy eyes.
“Are you threatening me?” Natalie questioned, Roland met Natalie’s cold gaze with a calmness in his eyes and said, “Ms. Sanders and Leon are currently in an advantageous position.” Bang!
Natalie was utterly infuriated by Roland’s words and slammed her fist on the table. At this moment, her eyes almost seemed like they could burn a hole in Roland’s head.
I want to? N- So, you’re saying I have to go, even if I don’t sneered.
Mr. Frazier is doing this for your own good.” Nah Natalie laughed coldly What a good excuse!
For her own good?
At this point, was Irwin letting go of all pretenses? It seemed like he wash In fact, things between Natalie and Irwin had become more superficial since she saw the photo in Stephen’s study.
Now… “Roland!” “Yes, Sis?” Natalie stiffened. As she looked at Roland, her demeanor became colder, and there was a hint of intense sarcasm in her eyes.
“Sis?” “Yes. You’re Irwin’s future wife, making you my sister–in–law since we’re as close as brothers.” “Hah…” Natalie sneered, What a nice title–sister–in–law.
She tapped her fair and slender fingers rhythmically on the armrest of the sofa. “What purpose does my going to Wexford serve now?” Wexford!
What a chaotic situation it was now. Natalie hadn’t directly entered the fray, but even she could feel the urgency of the situation there.
Yet, at this time, Irwin insisted that she go. He even resorted to threatening her with Bianca’s information!
Before, it was Cedric… Now, it was Irwin!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 346-When Did It Start Irwin mentioned that Malcolm wanted to establish a connection with the Jarvis family to gain complete control over the Entes family.
Yet now, one of his own people was claiming Natalie would be his future wife?!
To be blunt, these people were indeed two sides of the same coin to Natalie!
“Sis, are you leaving now?” Despite Natalie’s ever–changing expression, Roland’s tone remained serious and firm.
Natalie asked, “Can I talk to Irwin?” “Of course you can!” Roland took out his phone, dialed Irwin’s number, and handed it to Natalie.
The phone screen flashed with Irwin’s name as she waited for the call to connect. Soon, a warm voice came through.
“Nat.” “Irv, I don’t know what I should say about you now.” Irwin had lured Stephen to Wexford, making the already chaotic situation even messier. He had also done this in an attempt to control Cedric.
And now, Irwin even wanted her to go to Wexford.
Why?
Obviously, it was to prevent her alliance with Malcolm and thereby limit Malcolm’s control over Simeria.
Irwin seemed to be grabbing onto all the advantages he could!
‘Be good and come to Wexford first, okay? I’ll be waiting for you here,” Irwin said from the other end of the line, his tone still gentle even at this juncture.
Natalie remained silent.
Unavoidably, she had to admit that even when letting go of all pretenses, Irwin managed to do it so.
seamlessly.
In this world, Inwin was perhaps the only person who could pull it off!
He wanted to claim all the benefits for himself.
But would Natalie give in to him? Hah!
Natalie could already guess what Stephen’s stance against these people was.
Since everyone had nothing to hide, why not just stop hiding everything?
“Although Malcolm is using me, he has given me quite a few benefits in this situation.” “What benefits can he give you?” Irwin asked indifferently.
“The Entes family controls half of Simeria, right? What remarkable benefits do you think he can offer me Natalie shot back in the same indifferent tone.
As soon as she finished speaking, the air became silent in an instant. Roland was sitting opposite Natalie, and the look in his eyes intensified as he stared at her.
Before Irwin could speak, Natalie continued, “When did it start?” “What?” “It started from the time you approached me in Verde City, right?” Irwin remained silent.
That was right!
Natalie analyzed that Irwin’s manipulation of her started in Verde City. Although she didn’t know the exact grievances between Irwin and Cedric, she knew they both had been in Wexford.
It also didn’t take a genius to figure out that Irwin and Cedric’s relationship wasn’t any better than Stephen and Malcolm in Simeria.
Before the man on the phone could respond, Natalie’s tone grew colder and more serious, “Irv, did you think you could manipulate me further than this?” Without a doubt, Irwin was trying to influence her into going to Wexford. That was why he had sent Roland to her in an attempt to make her obey forcefully.
Her uncle and Cedric were both in Wexford, but Irwin was the one who first wanted to drag her into the mess there.
However, nothing was surprising about his current actions if he had approached her initially with a premeditated scheme..
Inwin may look like a respectable gentleman on the surface, but he was downright despicable at his core!
After ending the call with Irwin, Natalie looked at Roland across the table. Her eyes were deep and icy.
Although there was no hysteria in the conversation just now, it made it clear that none of them were keeping up the act anymore.
“Roland.” “Yes, sis!” novelbin “I haven’t married Irwin, so there’s no need for you to bind me to him like this.” “Then who would you like to be bound to? Lord Malcolm?” Natalie’s expression turned colder, Sitting on the sofa, she looked petite but exuded an air of chilliness.
“You’ve seen it too. Now that we’ve all stopped pretending, you won’t get away without consequences for pushing my limits!” Natalie said harshly.
Roland remained silent.
Looking at the petite woman before him, it was hard to imagine that she had once been an oppressed daughter–in–law in the Johnson family.
“If Malcolm catches Bianca, I’ll tear you to pieces with my bare hands!” Roland froze at her words. He had used Bianca to blackmail Natalie emotionally, but now he had to go to great lengths to protect Bianca’s whereabouts!
At this point, it didn’t matter in what state Bianca was brought back. If she was caught, Natalie would undoubtedly hold him responsible.
Without waiting for Roland to speak, Natalie continued, “Irwin has gone to Wexford. In the years he has been in Simeria, Maple Peak has been the most important thing for him, right?” “What are you getting at, Sis?” Although Natalie was displeased with how Roland addressed her, she didn’t want to dwell on it now.
Casually stroking her beautifully manicured nails, her tone was nonchalant as she replied, “Maple Peak has been safeguarding half of the documents for Simeria, and the other half is in the hands of the Entes family. The Entes family controls half of Simeria, right? In their position, don’t you think they’ve been trying to get the other half of the documents from Irwin over the years?” After Natalie finished speaking, Roland’s expression changed instantly.
Without waiting for him to speak, Natalie continued. “If I’m not mistaken, the Entes family and Maple Peak Moreover, he has been trying to obtain the other half from the Entes family. Unfortunately…” At this point, Natalie paused and looked at Roland, whose expression had clearly darkened. If she wasn’t mistaken, the people around Irwin had been trying to find out the whereabouts of that half of the documents for years.
“Unfortunately, the Entes family is extensive. Irwin has never been able to confirm the whereabouts of that half of the documents. However…” Natalie trailed off as her eyes revealed a deeper sense of amusement.
Looking at Roland’s increasingly gloomy expression, she said, “There’s a man named Frederick Quinn by Irwin’s side, right?” Roland stood up abruptly the moment Natalie mentioned Frederick, and he glared at her with a dangerous and icy gaze.
To everyone in Simeria, Natalie had been forcibly placed in the position of deputy CEO by Regal Horizons International.
To grasp the power in her hands, she had put in a considerable amount of effort. Stephen had also invested a lot of effort into her development.
Everyone thought she was just a person working hard for the power that had been placed before her… However, this petite woman was much more complex than they thought.
“How do you know?” Frederick Quinn!
He had never appeared by Irwin’s side. Because of that half of the documents, they had never had an open contact. Frederick’s presence was supposed to be a secret, and considerable effort had been put Into hiding his existence.
Natalie was just the deputy CEO of Regal Horizons International. However, she knew how Maple Peak held half of the country’s documents.
She also… knew about Frederick Even Stephen didn’t know about Frederick’s existence, so… how did Natalie find out?!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 347-The Extra Child Roland’s expression was ever–changing as he looked at Natalie.
Without directly answering Roland’s question, Natalie lifted her gaze to look at him, her eyes filled with specks of starry laughter.
“What would happen if the Entes family finds out about Frederick? Wouldn’t you need to work hard and fast to transfer that half of the documents?” Roland was silent.
“Disregarding everything else about the Entes family, you have to admit that the one thing they don’t lack is people. If every one of them were to keep an eye out for Frederick, you wouldn’t be able to transfer those documents even if you wanted to, right?” Roland felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet!
Natalie’s cunning smile completely shattered all the threats and toughness in his mind.
She was too frightening.
If she really went to Wexford, it would undoubtedly lead to further chaos.
“Roland, how about we make a bet?” “What are we betting on?” “Let’s bet whether Lord Malcolm is more interested in Bianca’s whereabouts or that half of the documents?” “If there’s nothing else, Sis, I’ll be leaving.” His words meant he refused to take that bet!
Natalie calmly said, “It’s Ms. Walker” Yes, Ms. Walker!” Natalie smiled.
Watching Roland walk away, the smile gradually disappeared from the corners of her mouth How dare he threaten her?
Where did these people get the guts to threaten her whenever they pleased?!
Natalie effortlessly defused Irwin’s attempt to use her again. Neither Cedric nor Stephen would have involved her in that chaotic situation.
With that done, the chaos in Wexford had nothing to do with Natalie for the time being.
That area was calm now.
However, the Entes family was causing her a headache.
Of course, since Natalie could repel Irwin, she could also handle the twists and turns with Malcolm without any reservations.
She was not one to be trifled with.
She finally diverted Malcolm’s attention using the other half of the documents he had been looking for.
Though Irwin repeatedly used and threatened her, Natalie had no intention of selling him out, even though they already let go of all pretenses!
However, when she learned that Irwin had trapped Stephen in Wexford, she sold out Frederick to Malcolm without hesitation!
Her surroundings were now completely tranquil.
In this short time, Natalie quickly resolved the hidden dangers that Regal Horizons might face. She also took control of the planning for most of Simeria’s projects in Stephen’s absence.
She continued doing so until a certain person appeared and disrupted her life.
When Natalie entered the building today, the gaze she received from everyone around her… made her feel like something was wrong!
Even Wendy was trembling.
“What’s going on?” Natalie asked coldly.
After being called out, Wendy Instantly broke into a cold sweat. Nervously, she said to Natalie, “You should go to your office and take a look first.” Natalie was silent at Wendy’s answer. She furrowed her brows and shot Wendy a fierce glare before she walked toward her office She wanted to see what was so peculiar that morning that it made everyone uneasy.
Pushing open the office door and taking a look inside, she didn’t see anything different at first glance.
But upon closer inspection, she saw a child sitting on the sofa!
Seeing Natalie standing at the doorway. The people from the secretary department hurriedly focused on their work Natalie frowned and turned back to survey everyone present.
“Whose child is this?” No one answered.
Wendy stepped forward. “Ms. Walker.” “What’s going on?” Natalie asked.
Although she didn’t harbor any hostility towards children, having such a big child in her office seemed inappropriate.
Wendy led Natalie to the side, pulling the door closed. She then nervously looked at Natalie.
“Ms. Walker, are you sure you don’t have a child?” No!
Natalie’s face darkened.
Seeing her expression change, Wendy felt a chill.
“I’m sorry! But the child insisted on meeting you!” “Me?” “Yes, and she also said…” “What did she say?” She said you’re her mother!” Natalie was speechless. She paled, and then gradually, her face reddened with anger. Her expression changed multiple times as she tried to process what was happening!
was this the reason she felt something was off when she came to the company earlier? For the whole everyone think of her as a scum woman who abandoned her daughter?
Natalie didn’t know how she made it back to her office.
The child who was just sleeping was now sitting up. She was vigilant and wary, and there was even a hint of hostility in her gaze when she looked at Natalie.
Aside from the hostility in the child’s eyes, Natalie had to admit that the child was very beautiful.
“Who are you?” Natalie asked, trying to sound as gentle as possible.
Judging by the appearance, the child was around ten years old. The height seemed about right. novelbin The little girl was well–dressed, holding a doll in her hands. Upon hearing Natalie’s question, she lowered.
her head in grievance.
Natalie took a deep breath. “What’s your name?” How did the girl get into this situation? Why was she making such a pitiful expression?
Recently, too many things have happened to Natalie. It wasn’t easy to distance herself from Wexford and Malcolm.
Then, a child suddenly appeared, claiming to be her daughter.
No matter who it was, such a revelation would surely catch anyone off guard.
Especially Natalie… After all, her current situation was far from simple. She wouldn’t know if this was just another plan to trick her!
The child took the lead, but what kind of chaotic situation would follow next?
“Speak up!” The possibility that the child might be part of a plot to entrap her irritated Natalie, who had no patience for the pitiful expression the child was putting on.
Although she liked children, this was by no means a valid reason for someone to use a child against her.
Perhaps Natalie had been too fierce in her questioning. As soon as she finished speaking, the child stammered, “M-my name is Kayla Walker.” Walker?
Her blood pressure skyrocketed!
Wendy gasped in shock upon hearing the child’s name from where she was standing behind Natalie.
Natalie’s tone grew even harsher. “Give me your bag.” The little girl seemed genuinely frightened by Natalie’s tone and obediently handed over her small backpack.
Natalie took it and attempted to open the zipper. However, the zipper got stuck in the fabric, and Natalie’s frustration grew.
Wendy noticed Natalie’s impatience and quickly stepped forward.
“Ms. Walker, let me do it!” Although Natalie’s harsh attitude towards the child seemed cruel, facing a sudden morning visit from a child claiming to be her daughter would make it difficult for anyone to remain calm–especially after confirming that she had never given birth!
What else could this child be if not part of a scheme?
It was natural for Natalie to be in a bad mood.
So, before Natalie angrily threw the child out, Wendy cooperated as much as possible to help Natalie figure out this situation.
After opening the backpack, Wendy handed it over to Natalie.
Natalie rummaged through the child’s belongings hastily and pulled out some identification documents.
Natalie had to admit that everything was well–organized.
alvat Kayla was only a ten–year–old child but had already obtained an ID card and the other necessary identification documents.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 348-Be Good and Call Her Mommy Natalie held the documents in her hand and examined them.
Kayla Walker… the child had not lied!
She shuffled through the documents before closing the folder with a snap.
The anger in her heart was evident… because Natalie was listed as the child’s head of family on the documents!
The ID number and all other details were meticulously accurate. Natalie had to admit that the other party’s scheming was quite complete.
“Wendy!” “Yes, Ms. Walker.” “You’re dismissed for now.” “Ms. Walker, please calm down!” Wendy could feel how tense Natalie felt and was genuinely concerned that Natalie might throw the child.
out the window.
Natalie glared at her fiercely. Wendy immediately backtracked and said, “Yes, ma’am!” Wendy couldn’t even protect herself now, so she didn’t dare say anything else and left.
Once Wendy exited the room, only Natalie and Kayla were left in the office.
Looking at the ten–year–old who seemed to understand everything, Natalie’s gaze was sharp.
“Stop crying. If you managed to find your way here, I don’t believe you’re a child who cries easily!” That was the truth.
If this child could come here, she couldn’t be entirely innocent. As expected, Kayla stopped sobbing.
She gazed at Natalie with big, misty eyes.
Natalie held Kayla’s identification documents and asked, “What’s going on here?” The dates and details inside were all from five years ago. The depth of the scheming against her was unfathomable!
It had started five years ago?!
Kayla glanced at her and said, “Charlotte said I should meet you now that I’ve grown up!” Natalie asked, “Who is Charlotte?” “She passed away a week ago. Before she died, she gave me these documents.” Natalie took a sharp breath.
Charlotte was dead? So, was there no evidence to prove what Kayla was saying?
Whose child was this anyway? Why come to her?
She tried to recall. Although she had been reborn, her memories of this life were clear.
She hadn’t given birth to any children. Her child in the Johnson family had never been born.
So, who was this?
“What about your dad?” Natalie asked.
“I don’t have a dad. Charlotte has been taking care of me as far as I can remember.” Natalie pondered Kayla’s words.
Only Charlotte?
Then, before she died, Charlotte handed over these documents and told Kayla to find Natalie?!
Natalie couldn’t find words to describe the chaos in her mind. She was losing her mind right now!
She absolutely had not given birth to a child of this age. Yet, now the child insisted and swore that she was her mother?!
Natalie tried hard to organize her memories. Although there were some discrepancies, giving birth to a child was not a big matter and not something she would have overlooked!
Just to be cautious, she took the child for a paternity test…..
Natalie was worried about potential tampering, so she had Julian keep a close eye throughout the process.
The results came out a week later.
became even more bewildered.
She and Kayla shared a blood relation!
Moreover, it was a direct blood relation?!
Natalie took a sharp breath. She looked at the test report in her hand, then glanced at Kayla.
Kayla was looking at her with pitiful, round eyes.
Natalie felt like an unforgivable mother who had abandoned her daughter!
But she wasn’t…!
“Julian,” Natalie called out.
She took a deep breath as Julian stepped forward. “Yes, Miss?” novelbin “Are you sure no one tampered with it?” Obviously, even now, Natalie still couldn’t believe that she had a ten–year–old daughter.
Ten years old!
Going just by Kayla’s age, that would mean that she and Cedric had this child before they got married?!
That… couldn’t be possible.
She wouldn’t have a child out of wedlock.
So, where did this child come from? Why did their genes match?
“Mommy,” Kayla said and held Natalie’s hand tightly.
Natalie looked at the child. At this moment, her mind seemed to be buzzing with hornets, making her head completely muddled.
She couldn’t even remember how she returned to her office.
When Wendy saw Natalie bringing Kayla back, she hurriedly approached. “Is everything okay, Ms. Walker?” Her words were full of concern.
For the entire week, Natalie couldn’t accept the sudden appearance of the child, so Wendy had been accompanying her.
But now, the results were out.
Wendy Yes If there’s no blood relation, would the test still state that the two people tested are related?” Natalie nervously asked Wendy replied, “In medical terms, that’s not possible!” Natalie was instantly in despair.
What was going on?!
She closed the office door, pulled Kayla in front of her, and tried hard to see something in the child’s appearance.
However, perhaps due to her unclear vision, she couldn’t connect what she saw with the people around her.
Countless possibilities flashed through Natalie’s mind.
Could this be the result of Natalie’s scumbag father outside…?
No, that wasn’t possible.
Dominic had died long ago.
So, where did this child come from?
Throughout the week of waiting for the results, Natalie hadn’t seen this child.
Now, she held Kayla’s hand and said, “Kayla?” “Yes?” “Did Charlotte tell you anything else?” Without a doubt, Natalie wanted to catch something from these words.
However, Kayla just said, ‘Charlotte said I must listen to Mommy so that Mommy will like me.” Natalie felt like an explosion had gone off in her head, and she flatly said, “I’m not your mommy.” As soon as Natalie said that, tears of grievance welled up in Kayla’s eyes.
Natalie massaged her temples. What was she doing?
Don’t cry. It’s not… Okay, stop crying!” Whoever did this better not let Natalie get her hands on them, or she would definitely tear them apart!
Kayla sobbed, saying, “Mommy, Charlotte said it’s because I’m naughty that Mommy doesn’t want me. H won’t be naughty in the future and will study hard.” “Was Charlotte the only one with you?” “Yes.” Natalie felt like she was going crazy again.
This child…!
A storm swept through the world.
Natalie didn’t know how she managed to comfort Kayla. Witnessing the child’s grievances and stubbornness, she only felt that the person behind this was unforgivable!
In fact, when she was waiting for the test results a week ago, she had instructed Julian to investigate Kayla’s background.
However, what Julian found drove Natalie crazy.
Kayla hadn’t lied!
She did grow up ago.
in a small town with someone named Charlotte, and Charlotte passed away half a month The words and the timeline matched what Kayla had said.
So, she hadn’t lied.
Also, Julian had said that no one was pulling the strings behind Charlotte. Charlotte had always received money in her account to care for the child.
Julian didn’t know who this person was as it was done in a very secretive manner.
“Julian!” “Yes, Miss,” “Find out who has been giving money to Charlotte over the years.” The person providing money was undoubtedly the one plotting against her. Subconsciously, Natalie glanced at the child sleeping on the sofa and felt her head ache even more.
Julian nodded. Just as he turned to leave, a phone call came in. After answering the call, his face changed instantly.
Natalie felt something was wrong when she saw the shift in Julian’s demeanor.
Julian hung up the phone, and before he could speak, Natalie asked, “What happened?” “Isabella is dead!” Natalie was speechless!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 349-Grudges Spanning Two Lifetimes Isabella!
Whether in a different lifetime or in this one, her presence had turned Natalie’s world upside down and completely torn apart her life.
Unpleasant memories flashed through her mind, and then… It froze on the image of Isabella finally apologizing to her, calling her Sis…!
Natalie looked at Julian with wide eyes.
“She’s dead?” “Yes.” “How did she die?” Natalie asked as if she couldn’t hear her own voice, her tone hesitant.
Isabella was dead? Just like that? So suddenly?!
That was…!
“Her b*dy was found in the Orchid River, and the cause is still under investigation,” Julian replied.
Her already troubled expression became even darker.
Isabella’s existence was a hateful one for Natalie, but hearing such news suddenly shook her to the core.
In the midst of her chaotic thoughts, her gaze landed on Kayla, who was sleeping on the sofa. Dread built within her, and Natalie pursed her l*ps.
“When did this happen?” “Over half a month ago!” Over half a month?
When was the last time Isabella appeared in front of her? Twenty days ago?
So, Isabella had died shortly after seeing Natalie?
And at about the same time, Kayla’s caretaker died?
Was this a coincidence, or…?!
Whether in a different lifetime or in this one, her presence had turned Natalie’s world upside down and completely torn apart her life.
Unpleasant memories flashed through her mind, and then… It froze on the image of Isabella finally apologizing to her, calling her Sis…!
Natalie looked at Julian with wide eyes.
“She’s… dead?” “Yes.” “How did she die?” Natalie asked as if she couldn’t hear her own voice, her tone hesitant.

“When did this happen?” “Over half a month ago!” Over half a month?
When was the last time Isabella appeared in front of her? Twenty days ago? novelbin So, Isabella had died shortly after seeing Natalie?
And at about the same time, Kayla’s caretaker died?
Was this a coincidence, or..?!
The serious glint in Natalie’s eyes intensified as she continued staring at Kayla.
*Julian “Yes, Miss?” “Go to the hospital where Isabella used to be and retrieve her sample,” Natalie said flatly.
Once again, everything around her was about to turn upside down.
That was Natalie’s feeling at this moment.
Many troubles, though seemingly over, were not truly over.
Perhaps… it was the beginning of something new.
And although she had long been accustomed to it, the thought of the upcoming chaos made her shiver uncontrollably.
Julian immediately understood what Natalie was asking. He nodded in acknowledgment and left.
With his departure, only Natalie and Kayla remained in the office. Natalie’s heart was turbulent at this moment.
For a long time, she couldn’t calm down.
Who could be calm?
If her speculation was correct, it meant that her world would continue being turned upside down.
It didn’t matter that Isabella was dead. It seemed her daughter would continue disrupting Natalie’s life in her place!
Time flew by slowly.
The chaos in Wexford was intense, but there were many interferences, and most were experts in their feld With that, things escalated rapidly… And it ended quickly, too!
Even if it was fast, the conclusion only came three months later.
Irwin went somewhere unknown. It was said that Cedric took over everything in Wexford and became its Malcolm had gained something from the situation, but he still hadn’t found Frederick!!
When Stephen returned to Simeria and learned that there was an additional child at Natalie’s side, he frowned and asked, “What’s going on?” “She’s Isabella’s child!” Natalie said flatly after taking a deep breath.
Stephen was speechless.
At Natalic’s words, he froze!
Then, he looked at Natalie with eyes full of shock.
“No, she…” Stephen didn’t know what to say. Wasn’t Isabella supposed to be out of the picture long ago? How did a child get involved now?
“Isabella has passed on. She was found in the Orchid River. A week later, this child appeared at Regal Horizons.
Stephen rubbed his forehead.
What kind of curse was this?!
When Isabella was around, she made a mess of Natalie’s life. Even after she was gone, her child showed up to cause trouble!
“What do you plan to do with this child?” Stephen asked.
Natalie was silent.
What should she do?
Although Natalie had arranged for the child to stay at Hillside Villa during these three months, she hadn’t gone back herself.
Even if Isabella finally admitted her mistake and apologized, those who hadn’t experienced Natalie’s pain had no right to ask her to forgive the other woman!
The harm Isabella caused her couldn’t be completely erased with a simple apology!
No one knew that in Natalie’s previous life, Isabella had announced she was pregnant with Cedric’s child right after taking away Natalie’s eyes!
Natalie had been trapped in the darkness and confined to a wheelchair.
She had also been pregnant!
However, Cedric had no intention of keeping the child in her womb.
Isabella and Cedric had worked together to take away Natalie’s eyes and destroy everything in her life.
In this life, the scars on her b*dy were the result of Cedric leaving her in the detention center. They were scars that could never heal!
With the hostility between them spanning two lifetimes, how could forgiveness be possible?!
Now Stephen was asking her what she intended to do…?
But his question left her speechless.
Since Kayla was Isabella’s child, Natalie was her only family left in this world.
With just a word, Natalie had to decide whether to be ruthless or a savior.
In these three months, people at Hillside Villa had taken good care of the child, but Natalie had refused to face the child…!
Now that Stephen was asking her, Natalie knew she had to face the problem she had been avoiding!
Taking a deep breath, she finally replied, “I’ll have someone take her to an orphanage.” “Have you thought it through?” Stephen asked solemnly.
“Yes” Natalie nodded.
H The grievances she suffered in her two lives had nothing to do with Kayla. The child hadn’t done anything wrong However, Natalie thought of her own child in her past life. She had so desperately wanted to protect the child, but Cedric had trapped her in Scarlet Villa. Then, she had been burned alive in the massive fire along with her child!
When she thought about it, she…!
Stephen nodded. “That’s for the best.” Knowing what Natalie had endured by Cedric’s side, especially as Natalie’s uncle, he naturally leaned more towards Natalie’s side.
The grievances between her and Isabella should end.
So, this child shouldn’t continue to disrupt Natalie’s life.
“Where did trwin go?” Natalie asked Stephen.
Stephen already had a troubled expression on his face because of Kayla. When he heard Natalie’s question, his frown deepened.
“Nat.” “Hmm?” “From the beginning, Irwin played a significant role behind the scenes in your journey with Cedric.” Natalie was silent.
Although she already had a suspicion earlier on, she still didn’t know what to say when Stephen returned from Wexford and confirmed her hunch.
Irwin..!
For a long time, he had been a very special presence in her life.
But now… “Where is he?” “He’s in Meridiania. Don’t ask for specifics.” Apparently, everything had come to an end.
Natalie nodded.
It had been a splendid and grand affair. Even though the ending was strange, it was still good… that it was over.
“Although things between you and Cedric were misunderstandings, everything around him has changed. drastically. It’d be best if you just forget about him!” Natalie was silent.
Changed drastically?
Hadn’t everything around all of them changed drastically? Who had remained the same?
Natalie specifically asked about Irwin, not Cedric, indicating her attitude towards herself and Cedric.
Isabella was dead!
Everything between them should come to an end, be it grievances or love!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 350-After everything was settled, Natalie enjoyed a month of peace.
However, Natalie received a call in her office one month later.
The person on the other end said, ‘Ms. Walker, Kayla has been adopted and taken away!” Natalie was silent.
So what?
Since she had sent Kayla to an orphanage, the child was no longer related to her, right?
She would never see this child again in her lifetime.
Wait…!
The people who took the child to the orphanage were Lydia and Xyla.
They were always cautious, so it was impossible for them to leave Natalie’s contact information over there, right? novelbin A chill crept up her spine as Natalie asked, “Who adopted her?” “It was a man named Mr. Johnson!” Cedric! There was no mistake about it.
For a brief moment, Natalie felt a suffocating sensation in her chest, but it quickly disappeared.
“I got it.” After hanging up the phone, Natalie took several deep breaths but couldn’t dispel the heaviness in her chest.
Then, her office phone rang.
Natalie answered it. “Hello.” “Ms. Walker, Mr. Johnson is here!” Wendy’s urgent voice came from the phone, indicating that they had tried to stop the man but to no avail.
Natalie closed her eyes.
This persistent mant Just after hanging up the phone, Cedric pushed open the door with a cold look on his face.
Natalie glanced at his side and sighed in relief when she saw no one else.
“Why are you here?” She asked, lighting a cigarette.
She took two deep puffs, but it didn’t alleviate the annoyance in her heart.
Apparently, her frustration had reached its limit, and nothing would help her right now.
Cedric’s involvement meant that Kayla would also become a shadow in her world..!
She didn’t want to see anyone related to Isabella, especially when the child was adamant about calling.
her Mommy.
No one knew how crazy she felt at that moment!
Isabella and Cedric had burned Natalie and her child alive, and now Isabella’s daughter was calling her Mommy?!
How ironic was that?
“Do you know what you’re doing?‘ Cedric asked in a chilly tone.
Facing her at this moment was like facing a heartless woman.
Was it the right time to blame her for being ruthless?!
Into the L Natalie took a deep breath before she stubbed the cigarette looking at Cedric with irritation.
However, everything in front of her was blurry.
“What am I doing? Why does it concern you?” “Cedric, do you want me to remind you of our current relationship?” Yes, what was their current relationship?
Forget about how she had sent Kayla to the orphanage. Even if she had abandoned the child by the madside, it had nothing to do with Cedric “Do you know that Isabella is dead?” Cedric asked with restrained anger in his tone.
i know!” Natalie replied curtly.
Yes, she knew.
She knew everything.
“You know, yet you still do such a thing? Do you know what it means to that child?” Cedric shot back.
“I don’t need you to remind me of what I did. You already made yourself clear in the past about what Isabella’s existence meant to me.” Yes!
At that time, he had also spoken about Isabella to Natalie in the same tone.
Isabella was Natalie’s sister. She was Isabella’s only family left in the world.
Now, he was undoubtedly using the same argument and logic to talk about her relationship with Kayla.
A coldness flashed in Cedric’s eyes!
Finally, he angrily stood up, turned around, and left!
His retreating figure was filled with coldness.
When he reached the door, the man paused. “If I didn’t return, would you have left her in the orphanage?” Would she?
Since she had sent the child away and this was her decision, it meant that she had no intention of seeing that child again in her lifetime.
However, now that Cedric asked like this…!
Without waiting for Natalie to speak, Cedric said, ‘Nat, you grew up alone and in poverty. I never thought…” When he reached this point, the man paused. He looked back at her with eyes full of complexity that couldn’t be expressed in words.
Ultimately, he didn’t continue speaking and slammed the door as he left!
1 Natalie sat in her seat, unable to recover for a long time.
He never thought… what?
He never thought that she could treat a child like this?
Yes, she never thought so too!
She knew how much she loved children. However… she never thought that she would treat a child like that either.
“Ms. Walker, are you okay?” Wendy came in and saw Natalie’s unpleasant complexion.
it’s nothing!” Natalie said.
She said it was nothing, but in reality, her heart felt heavy. Although no one dared to voice criticism within. the company, Natalie sensed that everyone thought she was being excessively harsh and inhuman towards the child.
In this matter of the child, it seemed only Stephen had consistently supported her…!
Heather knew about the situation. After Cedric completed the adoption procedures for the child, she cursed Cedric for ten minutes over the phone!
“That’s Isabella’s child, and he thinks you’re too harsh?! Is he crazy?” Even after cursing Cedric, Heather still couldn’t calm down.
Apparently, Cedric’s thoughts had pushed the boundaries of Heather’s understanding.
She even wondered how Cedric could act in such a self–righteous manner while berating Natalie for acting in such a way towards Kaylal Didn’t he know that Kayla would always cause Natalie pain and would forever remain a taboo in her heart?!
Natalie had already failed to protect her child twice when she had been by Cedric’s side. However, now he thought Natalie should raise Isabella’s child?!
To say he was crazy would be an understatement.
I’m okay, Aunt. It’s fine. How’s my baby behaving lately?” Natalie didn’t want to talk about Isabella’s child anymore. It was something she didn’t want to face.
During this time, she had been keeping an eye on Wexford. She thought that if Cedric didn’t come back, she wanted Heather to bring her child back.
After all, Natalie was the child’s mother. It was natural that she wanted to be with the child.
She just didn’t expect Cedric to come back.
However, he only came back to take Isabella’s child!
It made her disappointed.
Cedric returned to Simeria this time due to some agreement with the Entes family. Although he had. Inherited Wexford on the surface, he had only inherited half of the place.
It seemed that he needed to find the other half of the documents from Irwin’s hands and bring them back to Wexford before his rights were complete in Wexford!
Frederick…!
The last place he appeared was Simeria, and the other half of the documents were in the hands of the Entes family.
Cedric’s appearance here undoubtedly meant he had joined forces with the Entes family.
However, Frederick was nowhere to be found!
In such a situation, Natalie kn
