Ch. 471..480
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 471-Showdown What a pity!
Cedric had never let her go, but now he expected her to stop?!
It was too late!
Bang!
The moment the taxi door slammed shut, it felt as if that door had also struck Cedric’s heart deeply.
Back at the manor, Natalie observed the tul*ps scattered throughout the place.
Her mind was in a mess.
Even though Natalie had told Irwin not to wait for her for lunch, the spread on the dining table was still catered to her tastes.
It seemed as if with her.
Win knew she would return, so he had waited until one in the afternoon before eating “The flavor seems different from this morning,” she remarked, though it still had the essence of Simeria.
Natalie had a keen palate. She could instantly tell that the chef was different from the one who had prepared breakfast.
The man across from her took a sip of his red wine. Then, he looked directly at Natalie and casually said, If they can mistake even the taste of milk, there’s no reason for them to stay.” His words were nonchalant.
Natalie gazed indifferently at Irwin, whose eyes remained gentle as he looked at her.
Yet, beneath that gentleness, Natalie felt a chilling detachment in him. novelbin Such a man, showcasing his most tender side while engaging in such dark deeds, was truly terrifying.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Irwin asked as he set down his wine glass.
With a faint smile, Natalie replied, “I find you terrifying.” She was direct, leaving no room for pretense.
+15 BONUS Irwin chuckled. “Once, perhaps I was.” But not anymore.
“I’m done eating,” Natalie announced, setting down her spoon abruptly.
In truth, facing Irwin made her lose her appetite.
“You’ve barely eaten. Have some more.” His tone was insistent, but Natalie didn’t respond and headed straight upstairs.
Watching her leave, Irwin sighed in frustration.
This woman was such a wildcat…!
When Dylan arrived, Irwin was still there and drinking a glass of red wine. His demeanor revealed the turmoil he was currently in.
“Sir.” “Hmm?” “That man went to see her when she was leaving Glory Road,” Dylan said with a grave tone.
Cedric?
Irwin’s already furrowed brow deepened upon hearing Dylan’s words. “So, he has so little patience, huh?” Irwin guessed that Natalie must have done it on purpose. She had Clyde’s people investigate Wexford while ensuring Cedric and Irwin knew about it.
What was she planning?
No doubt, she wanted to stir up chaos!
“What’s the situation between Cedric and the Schneider family now?” “Ms. Schneider went over there.” “When?” “Just a moment ago!” Irwin’s headache intensified., The nature of the Schneider family’s involvement in Wexford was well–known to those concerned.
+15 BONUS And now, within just three days of arriving at Wexford, Natalie had made such a grand move. It was obvious that everyone knew who she was by now.
Evidently, Natalie was deliberately stirring the pot. She was not just targeting Cedric but also exacting revenge on irwin.
Sighing deeply, Irwin pondered, unsure of what to say or do at this juncture.
Dylan looked at Irwin with concern and asked, “So, what do we do now?”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 472-Did Cedric Come Looking For You Today?
Indeed, what to do now? That was the crucial question!
Irwin said, “The Schneider family knows about Natalie’s relationship with Cedric. They’ll undoubtedly try to intensify their involvement with him. Keep a close eye on her during this time.” Natalie could venture out alone today because Irwin knew Clyde’s people had made arrangements for her from the moment she landed in Wexford.
But circumstances had changed.
This was Wexford…!
It was a place more complex than Natalie might have thought. Hence, they needed to be cautious.
“Yes, sir.” Dylan nodded, understanding Irwin’s intentions.
Since Irwin had decided to bring Natalie here, he wouldn’t let her fall into harm’s way.
Meanwhile, Natalie was on a call with Bianca upstairs.
Bianca’s voice dripped with concern for Natalie as she said, “I’ve heard everything from Lord Zane. Nat… why don’t you come back?” What kind of place was Wexford?
Natalie had finally learned today!
When Stephen had visited before, she hadn’t thought of involving herself. But now, she was fully aware.
“I’ll be fine. Don’t worry about me,” Natalie reassured.
“Nat…” “I have to go, Bia.” “Wait…!” Bianca called out urgently before Natalie could hang up the call.
Now that things had reached this point, Bianca knew trying to persuade Natalie further would be futile.
At the heart of it all was Luna, the catalyst.
Why did Cedric have to involve the child?
+15 BONUS Even after experiencing the traumas and events involving Isabella, Natalie could remain indifferent. She had simply wished to distance herself from Cedric after all of that.
But things were different now.
What woman could tolerate a husband who didn’t love their child? If he didn’t love her, she might have moved past it.
But their child?
How could he mistreat a child?
Especially since Cedric cherished Isabella’s daughter so dearly, yet acted in such a manner toward Luna!
This was the crux of Natalie’s resentment. It was a bitterness that would not dissipate unless she took action. novelbin So, even if Wexford was likened to a nest of vipers or even a blazing inferno, Natalie would still come and use bare hands to fiercely tear Cedric apart!
Bianca sighed. “I won’t try to persuade you otherwise anymore.” After all, Bianca couldn’t forgive what Malcolm had done to her. How did she expect Natalie to forgive Cedric, especially when it involved Luna?
“Okay,” Natalie replied.
It was Bianca, after all!
Had anyone else tried to interfere or offer counsel on this matter, Natalie might have lashed out.
Bianca added, “Lord Zane seems to have a lead on Frederick.” Frederick?
He was a pivotal figure.
After examining the information Daphne provided, Natalie understood how significant that half of the documents were to them.
She finally grasped why everyone was after those documents, Frederick was one of Irwin’s men, but Natalie had betrayed him to Malcolm.
This also caused Zane to be aware of his existence!
+15 BONUS Right now, Frederick was missing. Irwin wasn’t the only one searching for him. It seemed that everyone was on the lookout.
“What about Cedric?” “Lord Zane has also made arrangements there.” Natalie nodded in acknowledgment. “Alright.” What a mess!
Amidst this chaos, everyone must surely be having a hard time.
Didn’t Cedric have time on his hands? After all, he had time to plot against Luna.
Now, Natalie wanted to see just how much time he had left to dote on Kayla!
After ending the call with Bianca, Natalie felt a weight lifted off her shoulders.
When Irwin approached, he found Natalie seated in the aerial garden, sipping on her favorite fruit tea.
“Did Cedric come looking for you today?” “What about Frederick? Any news?” Natalie shot him a direct, piercing gaze that unsettled Irwin deeply.
This woman…!
“Why are you asking?” Irwin retorted.
Natalie remained straightforward as ever, making the atmosphere even more tense and unsettling.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 473-Like a Puzzle Natalie sipped on her tea, choosing not to answer Irwin’s question directly.
Instead, she remarked, “The fruit tea here in Wexford isn’t up to par.” “If you want, I can have some sent over from Simeria for you tomorrow.” “I prefer the one from Verde City. The taste there suits me better.” After all, she grew up in Verde City. Even though she returned to Simeria, the flavor of Verde City remained her preference.
Irwin nodded. “Alright.” After a momentary glance at Natalie, he asked, “Frederick?” “If I want to know his whereabouts, will you tell me?” she asked.
Irwin had picked up the teacup, and his grip tightened momentarily at her question. A deeper intensity flickered in his eyes as he looked at Natalie.
Natalie met his gaze with a similar depth in her eyes.
The two of them stared deeply into each other’s eyes silently. The look in their eyes was so profound that it was impossible to see what was truly in each other’s hearts.
Irwin had to admit that if anyone other than Natalie had used such a mental tactic, they would have long been unaware of the danger they were facing.
After a prolonged pause, Irwin chuckled. “Nat, you never hold back, do you? You’re not even trying to conceal anything from me.” Conceal?
Natalie echoed his laughter and finished her tea in one gulp.
“I’m different from all of you. I’ve always been transparent about what I want and don’t want.” “So, what do you want now?” Irwin asked.
Without hesitation, Natalie replied, “I want information on Frederick.” “You’re remarkably straightforward!” “Always have been,” she responded.
+15 BONUS Natalie already said she never played games or hid her intentions. She was upfront about the things she wanted A renewed silence enveloped the atmosphere.
While Natalie remained silent, it was evident she was waiting.
She was waiting for Irwin’s answer.
Finally, Irwin broke the silence. “Nat.” “Yes?” “I can give you everything else, just not him. Is that alright?” His tone at this moment carried a tender undertone.
Before Natalie could respond, Irwin continued, “I consider you selling Frederick out to Malcolm as a way to offset the ten years of me using you!” Just that one thing was supposed to compensate for ten years of manipulation?
It indicated how important Frederick was to Irwin.
4 Natalie scoffed coldly. “But I don’t want anything else.” Indeed, there was nothing else she wanted.
Faced with her determined attitude, a hint of danger flashed in Irwin’s eyes in a fleeting moment. It was swift and nearly invisible, but Natalie was keenly aware of his every move because she was near him.
“You’ve always been so stubborn,” Irwin said with a sigh.
Ultimately, he couldn’t do anything about it.
For now… he should leave things be.
From the moment she said she would accompany him to Wexford, Irwin had sensed that her intentionsnovelbin weren’t straightforward. However, he hadn’t anticipated she would be so direct.
Or perhaps… Did she really not know what the half of the documents meant to everyone involved?
He wasn’t sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
2/3 +15 BONUS Everything was in chaos.
Natalie’s clear intentions had thrown Irwin into disarray.
Furthermore, she had shared the information about the half of the documents with Bianca, which eventually made its way to Zane.
Her actions caused Cedric’s situation to be even more chaotic.
Now, Natalie was well aware of the importance of the documents. Naturally, she also knew that previously, its whereabouts were a mystery.
But now that she had exposed that Irwin and Cedric were holding half of the documents each, the chaos escalated!
Three days later, Bianca called Natalie.
“Zane’s making a move.” “You mean against Cedric?” “Yes, Zane was the one who released the intel on Wexford’s side.” Bianca sighed audibly over the phone.
“And the information about Frederick? Was that also leaked?” “Yes!” “Didn’t you mention earlier that he had a lead on Frederick?”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 474-He’s Also Panicking “It was cut off. They’re too cunning,” Bianca replied.
Natalie pondered in silence.
It was no wonder she hadn’t seen Irwin for the past three days. Perhaps he was equally overwhelmed.
Cedric hadn’t approached her either during this time.
Zane was undeniably ruthless!
By completely disrupting the documents‘ whereabouts, all eyes were on Irwin and Cedric.
This made them exceptionally vulnerable.
With Bianca involved now, she, too, understood the significance of those documents.
“Nat, will you regret it?” Bianca inquired.
Natalie remained silent.
Regret?
She knew precisely what Bianca was getting at.
She had spent a decade with Cedric!
And Irwin, who once held a unique place in her heart, was now caught up in this mess.
Who would willingly push things to this extent?
Natalie? Absolutely not!
“Bianca, you don’t understand,” Natalie retorted.
“No, I do! I’m concerned precisely because I know the depth of your feelings,” Bianca said worriedly.
Natalie fell silent.
Bianca was well aware of the complexities between Natalie and Cedric. Right from the start, Bianca had reservations about their relationship. Class differences among elites and the generational gaps from their upbringing weren’t as simple to navigate.
As a divorce lawyer, Bianca had witnessed countless ups and downs in relationships. The passion between Natalie and Cedric was intense initially, but their separation was equally rough.
1/2 However, situations like what happened between Natalie and Cedric were quite rare.
The implications were toc vast.
“That’s enough. Let’s not talk about it anymore.” Natalie sighed, then ended the call.
At this point, did she have regrets?
Yes!
+15 BONUS She regretted ever getting involved with Cedric.
Just as she ended the call with Bianca, her phone buzzed again. Glancing at the screen, she noted it was Daphne.
“Daphne.” ‘Miss.” “Is there any news?” She referred to the grudge between Cedric and Irwin.
Daphne replied, “They’ve cut off all leads. They’re obstructing our investigation.” “What do you mean?” “It’s not a complete blockade. While we investigate, they’ve been deliberately hindering us.” “Who’s doing it?” “Both of them.” Undoubtedly, those associated with Clyde were quite adept at their game.
The fears Irwin and Cedric had were materializing. novelbin Cedric didn’t want Natalie coming to Wexford precisely because he feared she’d get deeply involved. His world was too shrouded in darkness. Even his reasons for approaching her were unspeakable!
He wasn’t just protecting her. It was more about him not wanting to reveal such a tainted side of himself to her.
As for Irwin… From the start, he had subtly guided Natalie toward Wexford.
But now… it seemed even he was panicking!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 475-Keeping Secrets for Your Own Good After ending the call with Daphne, a chilling sensation enveloped Natalie.
Both Irwin and Cedric were obstructing her?
Neither of them wanted her to know the true reasons?!
Why would they keep her in the dark? Cedric was one thing, but even Irwin?
The more they hid, the more determined Natalie became to uncover the truth!
By the time Irwin returned, it was already ten at night. He was slightly intoxicated, and Natalie stood at the staircase in her white nightgown, waiting for him.
When Irwin spotted her, a soft smile graced his l*ps. To others, this smile might seem endearing, but to Natalie, it was a mask hiding something sinister.
“Nat, come here,” Irwin beckoned her with a gentle wave.
Her already tense expression grew colder at his gesture.
Seeing her still, Irwin stumbled closer as he said, “Stay there. I’ll come to you.” His tone was tender, reminiscent of lovers‘ sweet exchanges. But to Natalie, it felt toxic, sending shivers down her spine.
When Irwin finally reached her, he wrapped his arm around her slender waist and said, “You’ve lost weight.
” “Why did you stop me?” Natalie retorted coldly.
Since Daphne’s call, memories from back then flooded Natalie’s mind.
Every cherished moment in her past was a beautiful picture!
Yet, how had it all spiraled into anguish?
She thought about all the things Cedric had done for Isabella.
She also thought about all the things Cedric had done for her…!
At that time, he resembled a naive young man deeply in love with her. But why did things escalate to where they did between them now?
As for Irwin… +15 BONUS Everything seemed so logical and reasonable when it happened. But now, looking back, each memory seemed filled with incredibly strange coincidences.
Of course, after knowing about his manipulations, all these coincidences could be explained as deliberate actions!
Irwin was seemingly intoxicated as he held Natalie, but he tensed at her probing question.
The grip around her waist tightened involuntarily.
Natalie felt Irwin’s change instantly, and the chill in her eyes deepened.
“Nat, sometimes keeping things from you is for your own good,” Irwin whispered into her neck, his warmth mixed with the distinct scent of alcohol.
Natalie remained silent.
For her own good?
The irony of that reason weighed heavily on her heart. The last thing she wanted to hear was such an explanation!
“Do you even have the right to decide what’s best for me?” she questioned sharply.
“Nat…!” Irwin was already somewhat tipsy, and he struggled to maintain his composure while confronting a sober Natalie. novelbin “Tell me the reason!” she demanded.
Irwin fell silent.
The reason?
“Stop asking,” he finally managed.
Without another word, Natalie shoved Irwin away. Caught off guard, he stumbled back a couple of steps, dangerously close to the edge of the staircase.
But Natalie’s icy gaze never wavered.
In that moment, a hint of sobriety returned to Irwin’s eyes.
“You and Cedric have both taken action. It must be quite an interesting reason behind all this, right?” Indeed!
Before, Cedric and Irwin acted as if they weren’t familiar with each other.
But in reality?
They didn’t only know each other, but they were practically…!
Irwin pinched the throbbing center of his forehead.
“I’m withdrawing my people,” Irwin said, his tone tinged with a hint of resignation.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 476-He Was the One With the Biggest Headache Clearly, Inwin wouldn’t offer Natalie a reasonable explanation for this matter.
After all as Dylan had previously analyzed, the most challenging aspect to explain would undoubtedly be Cedric’s side of the story.
Natalie fell silent.
Irwin was withdrawing his people?
In regards to this matter, Irwin was…?!
She turned and watched Irwin’s retreating figure.
Irwin’s slightly intoxicated voice echoed back to her, “Nat, regardless of what you find out, don’t forget that you’re still my fiancee.” Natalie remained rooted to the spot, offering no response to his words as he disappeared from her view.
Though she didn’t receive satisfactory answers from Irwin, Natalie wasn’t in a rush.
However, the situation in Wexford piqued her curiosity and chilled her heart more with each passing moment. novelbin Cedric was a mystery, indeed!
While Irwin had appeared quite intoxicated in front of Natalie, he didn’t retire to his room. Instead, he found solace in his study. He took several deep drags from his cigarette, trying to quell the restlessness in his chest.
“It seems that man got too impatient,” Dylan said with a frown, still refusing to mention Cedric’s name directly.
Now that things had escalated to this point, Natalie would inevitably uncover the truth soon.
“It doesn’t matter. She would have found out eventually.” Irwin responded with a hint of regret in his slurred words.
Dylan was taken aback by the tone.
“Dylan.” “Yes, sir!” 1/2 +15 BONUS “From the start. We shouldn’t have dragged her into this mess in Wexford.” Irwin murmured with a depth to his voice that betrayed his emotions.
Dylan sighed deeply. “Back then, you couldn’t have foreseen this.” And now?
Irwin chuckled softly, though his eyes held a hint of bitterness.
Back then? How had things been then?
And now? How were things now?!
No matter what one planned, it was best if it didn’t involve others. And if one had to… then it was advisable not to have any direct contact!
Natalie’s transformation was undeniable. She had become a stark contrast to her former self. Her resilience and stubbornness were qualities even a man like him had to admire!
Dylan thought for a moment before saying, “The one with the biggest headache right now… should be him.
It seemed that with this acknowledgment, a hint of softness crept into Irwin’s demeanor.
Without a doubt, Cedric was the one having the biggest headache right now.
With Natalie’s arrival at Wexford, she didn’t just push Irwin and him into the eye of the storm. She also threatened to unravel every intricate detail of their relationship… Especially since the root cause was undeniably closely related to her!
Even now, she would still bring up how Irwin had manipulated her in the past. Since that was the case, Irwin didn’t need to imagine the consequences of Natalie discovering the truth behind their past.
Thinking about these things makes Irwin feel a throbbing pain in his head and heart.
Especially considering Natalie’s current demeanor. She was so patient and composed… it was enough to unnerve anyone!
As Dylan and Irwin had mentioned, the one with the biggest headache right now was Cedric.
At this moment, Cedric was in his study. Upon learning that Irwin had withdrawn his people, Cedric immediately lit a cigarette, unable to suppress the annoyance deep within him
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 477-We Aren’t That Close “What did Clyde’s people find out?” Cedric’s tone was far from pleasant.
As Dylan had mentioned, the one who was most worried right now… was Cedric!
Undoubtedly, Clyde’s people were formidable.
Whether it was Cedric or Irwin, neither had a favorable relationship with Clyde. Given this history, any discoveries by Clyde’s people would undoubtedly reach Natalie’s ears!
And now, Irwin had even withdrawn his people from obstructing the investigation…!
“It’s hard to say for sure, but Madam is aware that you and Mr. Frazier were interfering in their investigation. It’s inevitable,” Lucas replied.
It was only a matter of time before Clyde’s people had discovered it, after all.
After hearing that, Cedric’s demeanor grew even colder. “So, she undoubtedly knows now.” “Yes, sir,” Lucas affirmed.
Cedric fell silent, taking several drags from his cigarette. The study was now veiled in a thick haze, an embodiment of the oppressive atmosphere surrounding him.
“Who is by her side now?” He was asking about who Clyde had assigned to assist Natalie. Most of Clyde’s people were familiar faces to both Cedric and Irwin. They had their share of history and understanding.
Without missing a beat, Lucas responded, “Daphne Turner!” Cedric’s expression tightened.
Daphne Turner!
When he heard the name, his headache intensified.
It can be said that she was the toughest nut to crack among all of Clyde’s people.
There was a time when someone approached Daphne because of Clyde. That person had faced numerous setbacks because of that.
Unexpectedly, Clyde had actually assigned Daphne to Natalie…!
10 Did he do it to protect Natalie, or was it a retaliation against Cedric and Irwin?
+15 BONUS “And there’s something else,” Lucas interjected before Cedric could respond, his gaze growing even more serious.
Undoubtedly, for Cedric, the headache wasn’t just stemming from Natalie’s actions but from another individual entirely.
It was another person as vital to him as Natalie.
“What is it?” His tone betrayed impatience.
Lucas replied, “There’s news from the hospital. The surgery on Miss Kayla went well. Barring any complications, she should be discharged in a week.” Kayla’s surgery had been successful.
Undoubtedly, this was good news for Cedric. After hearing it, his hardened demeanor softened ever so slightly.
That night, sleep eluded many.
By the next morning, Natalie still appeared weary. At breakfast, Irwin noticed her lackluster appetite.
Frowning, he asked, “Are they still not to your liking?” Undoubtedly, Natalie’s appetite had been off since she arrived at Wexford.
Natalie responded curtly, “Just eat your meal and leave me be.” Though she made no mention of the events from the previous night, Irwin recognized the depth of her unpredictable nature.
However, as the meal progressed and Irwin watched Natalie delicately sipping her soup, he couldn’t resist intervening.
He reached out and took her bowl to take a sip.
The atmosphere in the dining hall immediately turned tense!
Everyone gasped silently. They all saw it…! Just a moment ago, their master had drunk from Natalie’s bowl!
2/3 +15 BONUS Natalie’s expression darkened instantly. “What are you doing?” Her tone was laced with irritation. Over the years, only Cedric had dared to eat from her leftovers!
No other man had ever shown such audacity.
Yet, Irwin had…!
Irwin nonchalantly placed the bowl back in front of her.
“I thought there might be something wrong with the soup. It’s well–made. Why aren’t you eating?”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 478-What Are You Up To?
Natalie said sharply, “You…!” “I went to great lengths to make sure you would eat well, Nat,” the man’s tone remained gentle.
Natalie’s rising anger felt like there was no place to vent her anger, which made her even more upset.
“Eat more, okay?” he coaxed, looking at her gently.
“Why should I eat after you’ve already drunk from my bowl?” Natalie retorted, pushing the bowl aside.
The atmosphere froze instantly.
Every gaze directed at Natalie held complexity. Was she rejecting their esteemed master?
The stares made Natalie frustrated.
She sternly told Irwin, “Don’t do things that can cause misunderstandings. We aren’t that close.” With that, she left the spoon in the bowl on the table and stood up.
Behind her, Irwin chuckled softly.
It was evident that Irwin had done it on purpose!
These days, Natalie had been too dull. So, teasing her like this seemed like a good idea.
After breakfast, Irwin departed. Natalie knew she had thrown a bombshell into the Wexford, and the aftermath was evident.
Later in the morning, Dylan arrived carrying an exquisite gift box.
“Miss, this is from Mr. Frazier. He said you’re to accompany him to a banquet tonight.” “I’m not going,” Natalie replied promptly.
She had no interest in such events.
Her blunt refusal left Dylan momentarily stunned.
Then, a knowing smile crept onto his face. “Miss, don’t forget why you’re here in the first place. By the way, Miss Kayla will be discharged in a week. That man is preparing everything for her.” “You cunning fox!” Natalie glared at Dylan as she grinded her teeth.
“The banquet tonight is essential for Mr. Frazier. Prepare well,” Dylan advised.
+15 BONUS With that said, he departed before she could retort.
Natalie eyed the gift box. When Dylan reminded her about Kayla, he was actually reminding her… about the very reason Natalie had come to Wexford. novelbin It was also a reminder of her identity and role when she came to Wexford.
Her eyes dimmed at the thought. Finally, she opened the gift box to reveal a splendid sapphire–blue gown. The dress exuded an aura of grandeur.
Her slender fingers brushed over the fabric, feeling its icy touch.
Irwin often appeared reserved, but it seemed that he had a penchant for extravagant items. Every gift he gave carried an aura of luxury. Such extravagance was in stark contrast to his otherwise understated demeanor.
The phone buzzed loudly, interrupting her thoughts. Placing the gown aside, Natalie glanced at the screen.
It was a call from Cedric.
She answered in an icy voice, “Hello.” “Come out!” His words were curt, devoid of any warmth.
Natalie glanced out of the French windows subconsciously, noting that it was raining again! She was already feeling gloomy, which only intensified due to the relentless downpour.
“I have no desire to see you!” Natalie responded, her tone eerily calm despite the evident tension in Cedric’s voice.
Natalie had asked Clyde’s people to look into things in such a grand manner. But when Cedric took the initiative to contact her, she remained calm as if her investigation had nothing to do with him.
Yet, this calm exterior was covering up a turbulent wave that was beyond any of their imagination!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 479-Daring and Deflant In the end, Natalie went out.
She sat beside Cedric in the car, leisurely filing her nails as if transported back to those years when she had ample time to waste by his side.
“Did you send information to the seventh lord?” Cedric finally spoke, his voice restrained.
Information?
What information did he mean?
Obviously, it was about the half of the documents he held.
Previously, Natalie had given Malcolm information about Frederick.
Now?
She had directly sold him out to Zane?!
Cedric had to admit that Natalie was undeniably ruthless to him and Irwin!
Thinking about both incidents, Cedric’s gaze upon Natalie intensified.
“Yes,” Natalie replied calmly, pausing her actions to look Cedric directly in the eyes.
A gleaming smirk appeared on her l*ps, causing Cedric’s expression to darken.
“You dare say it so casually?” “Of course,” she affirmed without hesitation.
As she observed his increasingly stormy demeanor, she continued, “Didn’t I say it before?” ” A “I’ve always been forthright. If I did something, I’ll admit to it. If I didn’t, then I didn’t. Haven’t our ten years together taught you about my character?” Cedric remained silent. His previous accusations now felt like they were suffocating him.
What the hell was she doing?
Was she retaliating with such boldness? Or was she also responding to his past misunderstandings of her in a similarly assertive manner?
1/3 +15 BONUS Indeed, Natalie was using this assertiveness to convey a message to Cedric.
Time and again, across lifetimes, whenever the topic of Isabella arose, she had reassured him of her innocence.
Yet, he had never believed her.
Seeing the unpredictable glint in Cedric’s eyes, Natalie’s smile widened. “What, were you expecting me to deny it? Or would you have believed me if I denied it?” Believe?
With all the evidence laid bare, how could he believe her?
Everything was in chaos!
Natalie undeniably shook Cedric’s world with her audacious actions.
“Feeling better now?” Cedric asked.
Given that she had leaked the locations of the documents, it had undeniably complicated matters between him and Irwin.
Natalie remained silent.
Better?
When she heard his words, she laughed.
Given all that had transpired in her life, causing a bit of chaos for them seemed insufficient!
Or was he saying that even though he was a man, he couldn’t handle it?!
Then, how had Natalie managed in the past?!
“Nat, stop this, okay?” “I once also begged you to stop, remember? It happened not too long ago.” she reminded him coldly.
Cedric froze.
Not too long ago?!
He remembered the flood of, desperate messages she had sent him, pleading not to harm Luna.
And what had he done back then? novelbin 2/3 He…!
“Kayla’s getting out of the hospital soon, isn’t she?” she finally asked.
“You…?!” “She’s so lucky, isn’t she? She has you, a father figure who treats her even better than her biological father!
The emphasis she placed on the term ‘biological father‘ was biting, and her words dripped with sarcasm.
Cedric averted his eyes and turned away to light a cigarette. He took a deep drag, but the suffocating feeling in his chest persisted.
“Nat, about this matter…!” What now?
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 480-Come to Me At this moment, Cedric was at a loss for words.
“Is there anything else? If not, I have matters to attend to,” Natalie said, swiftly opening the car door.
But just as she was about to step out, Cedric grabbed her wrist.
Casting a sidelong glance, Natalie asked, “What is it?” “Don’t let Glyde’s people continue looking into this,” Cedric finally voiced out!
The way Natalie had reappeared in Wexford had done more than just create trouble for Cedric and Irwin.
There were many unresolved matters… like the root of Irwin’s manipulation of her and the true reason Cedric had approached her all those years ago!
Given the current situation, Natalie couldn’t naively believe that Cedric had fallen for her at first sight.
Perhaps under the hydrangea tree on campus, she had caught his eye.
But…!
The real reason might not be as simple as that!
“Are you willing to tell me yourself?” Natalie turned back with a gentle smile, but the softness of it only heightened Cedric’s sense of danger.
The determination in her eyes was evident.
Clyde’s people were good. Undoubtedly, they would be able to get to the bottom of this matter if they continued looking into it.
That person didn’t think the past event was a glorious involvement, so his identity and existence were erased from the records. novelbin However, many were still aware of it. Even if no one in Wexford had mentioned it for years, traces of the truth persisted.
Feeling the tightening grip on her wrist, Natalie instinctively reacted. She couldn’t believe there wasn’t a deeper reason behind all this.
“Nat!” As Natalie pulled her wrist from Cedric’s firm grasp, he called out once more.
“If you’re not willing to talk, then let’s not waste any more time,” Natalie said.
1/2 +15 BONUS “If you’re staying in Wexford, come to my side. Irwin isn’t a good person. What you’re doing with him now is dangerous for you,” Cedric said.
Natalie replied coldly, “You needn’t concern yourself!” “Is this revenge against me?” Just as Natalie took a step forward, Cedric spoke up again.
Natalie was silent.
“Come to my side. You can do whatever you want to do! I won’t interfere,” Cedric declared.
He didn’t care if she wanted to vent her anger on him. He would let her do whatever she wanted.
All he wanted was to get her away from Irwin.
From Cedric’s perspective, Natalie wasn’t just seeking revenge on him but also on Irwin.
Considering the people involved over the past decade, the depth of her hatred was evident even at a glance!
Indeed, she loathed Irwin’s manipulation and Cedric’s attitude toward their relationship.
And so, she had arrived in Wexford and ultimately was entangled in the mess of this place.
Natalie turned to face Cedric, her l*ps curling into a menacing smile. “What if I want Kayla?” Cedric fell silent. His blood seemed to freeze in that instant.
Her eyes shone like brilliant stars, but her words were laden with danger.
“Would you give her to me?” Seeing Cedric’s instantly stiff expression, Natalie’s smirk widened. Gradually, a chilling sense of danger appeared brightly in her eyes.
Cedric tried to form words, but under her icy demeanor, nothing came out.
Seeing his reaction, Natalie scoffed. “See? You can’t even do that!”
