Ch. 481..490
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 481-He’d Be Pleased Cedric couldn’t do it?!
No, it wasn’t that he couldn’t.
He just wasn’t willing to do it!
Isabella was so important to him, and so was Kayla!
How could he bear to do such a thing?!
Natalie turned and walked inside.
“Nat, do you have to do this?” Cedric was talking about Kayla. Ever since Kayla came into his life, Natalie seemed unwilling to let go of anything pertaining to her.
Kayla was just a child!
Seeing Natalie’s intense hostility towards the child and thinking about Kayla’s dependence on Natalie, Cedric immediately felt a pang of pain go through his heart.
Natalie didn’t answer his question and continued walking in.
How exactly were things between Natalie and Kayla?
Cedric had already clearly seen it before, so it was surprising that he could still ask such a question now!
At noon, Irwin had yet to return.
At the table, a young maid brought the soup Natalie usually drank at Lotus Villa and prepared some dishes that Natalie loved.
“What kind of dish is this? It’s crispy and delicious.” Unexpectedly, Natalie enjoyed the taste.
Natalie took a closer look at the dishes on the table. It seemed to be the first time Natalie had tried them, but the taste was well thought out.
“It’s lotus stem. Do you like it, Miss?” “Yes, it tastes good. I didn’t know this could be eaten,” Natalie said, observing the many tiny holes in the stem, similar to lotus roots but finer.
“If the master knew you liked it, he’d be so pleased,” the young maid said with a smile.
+25 BONUS Seeing Natalie’s approval, she clearly felt relieved.
Natalie looked outside at the rain pouring down again and commented, “With this kind of weather, it’s surprising that these can grow here.*
She was speaking the truth. After all, as far as she knew, lotus plants requlied good weather. especially warmth Lotus roots might be fine, but lotus flowers and others needed better conditions. novelbin “It was all brought over from Verde City,” the young maid explained.
Natalie was speechless.
Verde City?!
When she heard those two words, her heart trembled slightly.
After Irwin returned, his eyes softened when he heard Natalie enjoyed lunch.
“She also had some snacks in the afternoon,” the young maid reported every detail of Natalie’s daily routine to Irwin.
Irwin listened carefully. Evidently, he was screening what Natalie liked to eat.
Upstairs, Natalie popped an almond into her mouth. She was already tired of this taste, but there wasn’t anything better to eat right now. So, she tolerated it.
Suddenly, Irwin appeared behind her and gently pulled her into his embrace.
‘Did he come to see you today?” ‘Don’t you already know?” Natalie’s tone grew cold.
Irwin responded, “Wexford is chaotic. I need to ensure everything is in order here for you.” His voice remained gentle, devoid of any discernible emotion.
Natalie scoffed, “You always say the nicest things, don’t you?” Having known Irwin for so long, Natalie had to admit that his sweet talk was incredibly potent and terrifying.
She turned around, and Irwin tightened his grip around her waist.
“I’m saying these things for you.” “Yes, sure. For me!” Natalie said through gritted teeth.
Irwin felt exasperated.
+25 BONUS This girl… What would it take to satisfy her?
Natalie’s cold fingers traced his features, “How many girls have you deceived with such tenderness?” Irwin was silent.
This little vixen!
Natalie had always been a well–behaved woman, but what was this action about?
He firmly grasped her mischievous hand.
“I’ve never deceived anyone else, only you.” And he… regretted the deceit.
With such a charming tone, most women would willingly fall into his hands upon hearing such words. They would probably even willingly die for him.
Yet, Natalie seemed to despise this deception of his!
Just as Irwin was about to hold her tighter and lean in, Natalie suddenly turned her head away. “Nat, you..
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 482-Still So Sweet–Sounding “Don’t think that just because I’m supposedly your fiancee now, I must bear the responsibilities of one!” Irwin was silent, and he froze instantly!
He had to admit that this woman was truly maddening.
His heart constricted painfully. In the end, Irwin pulled her tightly into his embrace, as if he wanted to completely engulf her.
“Nat, you’re truly enchanting.” Indeed.
She really was!
Natalie coldly listened to his honeyed words, offering no response.
Irwin felt helpless.
Actually… after a decade, after so much time had passed, she had completely given up on Cedric. Cedric, too, had tasted the pain of losing someone. novelbin But why did it seem like Irwin was experiencing the same emotions?
“Don’t let Casey investigate further!” Irwin’s hold on her tightened, his voice growing deeper.
Natalie replied, “Both you and Cedric don’t want me to investigate. Now I’m genuinely curious about what’s going on!” “Ever heard the saying?” “What?” “Curiosity killed the cat!” Some things, once known, only brought discomfort.
In Irwin’s opinion, if things were better left unknown, why uncover them now, after so many years?
Natalie responded, “There were moments when not being curious nearly got me killed by all of you.” In fact, it almost did!
To think that she had died so unjustly in another lifetime, unaware of those closest to herself.
Irwin exclaimed, “Nat!” +25 BONUS “The more you act this way, the more I want to know what could make both you and him take action together.” “Have I touched a boundary between the two of you?” A boundary?
What was this boundary that both Cedric and Irwin shared? What could it possibly be?!
If that was the case, it truly needed thorough exploration.
Irwin replied, “It’s not a boundary.” His tone grew even more mysterious.
Yet, at that moment, Natalie sensed a certain evasion in his voice. He averted his eyes, and she wasn’t able to see them. Still, in that fleeting instant, she seemed to discern a hint of pain in his tone.
Pain?
In Irwin’s voice, there was a hint of pain… What could it be?
“You… You’re my boundary.” His voice suddenly deepened.
Natalie fell silent. Her heart felt constricted at that moment, and her expression grew even colder.
Irwin’s words and voice were truly captivating and enchanting!
Once, Cedric’s voice had the same effect on her!
But back then? What had happened?
She… had truly felt moved!
as Irwin’s.
Yet, the consequences of such feelings were not favorable!
So, as she listened to Irwin’s gentle words now….
All she felt in her heart was a deep chill. But other than that, she didn’t feel any other overwhelming emotions.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 483-Appearing Together In the evening, amidst a lavish banquet with wine and champagne flowing, the cream of Wexford’s high society was present.
When Irwin arrived with Natalie by his side, nearly all eyes were instantly fixated on them.
Natalie also attracted numerous hostile gazes at that moment.
“It seems you’re quite the popular figure here in Wexford!” Natalie glanced around, feeling the envy radiating from many younger women.
The comment carried a hint of sarcasm.
It was a dig at Irwin and Cedric, suggesting she knew nothing, but it was clearly also mocking herself.
Sensing the undertone in her words, Irwin tightened his grip on her hand and whispered, ” Since we’re here, you’ll have plenty of time to discover just how sought–after the men around you are. So, cherish the chance, alright?” His tone was teasing.
Irwin effortlessly dismantled Natalie’s sarcasm.
In response, she shot him a cold look.
When Cedric arrived, he saw Natalie and Irwin standing together. At that moment, Natalie’s delicate hand rested comfortably within Irwin’s larger palm.
Considering their height difference….
Natalie seemed so petite next to Irwin.
Standing beside him, she appeared almost doll–like. The warmth evident on Irwin’s face. showed how much he cherished her.
“So, Mr. Frazier has a preference for such a type!” Someone in the crowd remarked with a sigh.
It explained why all the other beautiful figures hadn’t caught Irwin’s eye. Many had tried to gain his attention but only received cold indifference.
No one expected that Natalie would eventually capture his attention.
“She’s quite short, isn’t she?” “Short? I wish I had her stature!” Why? Because Irwin liked it!
+25 BONUS Within the crowd, there was envy and jealousy in the eyes of many.
Meanwhile, Lucas stood behind Cedric. He could clearly feel the chilling aura emanating from. Cedric…!
“Your Excellency?” At this moment, while many gazes were fixed on Irwin, numerous eyes were also undoubtedly on Cedric.
Even amidst the grandeur of the banquet, one could sense the tension between their locked gazes, hinting at an underlying hostility! novelbin Sensing this tension, Lucas called out to Cedric, who snapped back to reality. Cedric’s grew colder as they landed on Natalie and Irwin.
s eyes Undoubtedly, after tonight, the entire Wexford would know about Irwin’s engagement. Before this, the fact that Irwin brought a woman back to Wexford had already caused a sensation.
Now that it was revealed she was Irwin’s fiancee, one could only imagine what the situation. would be like!
When Natalie and Irwin finally noticed Cedric, they saw a woman by his side. The woman’s hand looped around Cedric’s wrist, and she looked very different from Natalie.
The woman beside Cedric was tall, elegant, and exuded a captivating charm. The crowd couldn’t help but gasp collectively.
“Isn’t that Ms. Abigail Schneider?” Whispers spread among the attendees.
“How much longer?” Natalie asked.
Irwin tightened his grip on her hand subconsciously and asked, “Are you tired?” “Yes,” Natalie nodded.
“Then, let’s go,” Irwin said, pulling her close.
This display warmed many hearts. To those in Wexford, while Irwin was charming, he never displayed such affection openly.
They walked past Cedric as they exited the hall. Although Cedric and Irwin didn’t interact at the banquet, an invisible rivalry lingered between them.
After exiting the banquet hall, the suppressed feeling in Natalie’s heart began to dissipate..
Inside the car, Irwin lit a cigarette. He rolled down the window and let the cold breeze in, +25 BONUS He commented, “If all goes as expected, he’ll form a marriage alliance with the Schneider family.”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 484-This Is Your Retaliation Against Us The Schneider family?
Abigail Schneider?
Natalie had heard about her before.
Her fox–like eyes were truly captivating!
There was a deep and mysterious glint in Natalie’s eyes.
“And what about you?” Natalie looked at Irwin with a meaningful smile on her l*ps.
Their eyes met. In that instant, Irwin seemed completely disoriented by the emotions he saw reflected in her eyes.
At this moment, he had to admit that Natalie was indeed enchanting.
“Me?” “Yes, you.” “What do you want to hear?” “Now that I’m your fiancee, how do you plan to maintain the existing balance between us?” Balance?
When Natalie mentioned the word,” a chilling glint flashed in Irwin’s eyes, but it was fleeting.
“So, do you admit that Cedric’s current situation is deliberate on your part?” “That missing half of the document must have caused you more than just a minor inconvenience,” Natalie remarked sarcastically.
Inconvenience?
It was much more than that.
When Casey presented her with that information, Natalie instantly understood that the disappearance of that half of the documents had unintentionally maintained a delicate balance. in Wexford for years.
And now?
Natalie had just shattered that equilibrium by exposing the document’s whereabouts, disrupting several intricate balances in the process.
Suddenly, there was a forceful pull on her wrist as Irwin pulled her closer, his slender fingers gripping her delicate chin. The gentle touch carried a sense of impending danger.
+25 BONUS “So, you came to Wexford as my fiancee deliberately?” Irwin asked.
Meeting Irwin’s eyes, which held both warmth and coldness, Natalie just smiled, neither confirming nor denying anything. novelbin Her smile had Irwin’s heart racing uncontrollably.
Truly, she was not just a fox. She was something more!
She actually…?!
“This is your retaliation against us?” Yes, it was her retaliation.
Not just against Cedric but also against Irwin.
Even though she appeared by Irwin’s side, it was, in essence, her way of retaliating against him as well.
The Schneider family!
What kind of presence did the Schneider family hold in Wexford? Over the years, how could. Abigail remain unmarried if they had a genuine choice?
It was widely known throughout Wexford that aligning oneself with the prestigious Schneider family was not a casual decision, The Schneider family placed great emphasis on marriages of equals. Even though they controlled significant resources, no one dared to provoke them.
That was because the Schneider family were known to be cunning and sly, a trait evident through generations–just like foxes! While their family controlled essential resources, no one ever benefited from them without facing some significant consequences.
However, tonight…!
While Irwin had brought Natalie to the banquet, which subtly emphasized and solidified her status, Cedric had brought Abigail!
If this was Irwin’s first time appearing at a social gathering with a woman in years, the same could be said for Abigail.
This was the first time in years that Abigail had appeared at such a large–scale banquet with a man.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 485-Abigail Is Also a Gift “Do you know Ms. Schneider?” Irwin asked as his grip on Natalie tightened.
Natalie tilted her head slightly, but the man’s grip grew even firmer.
“Let go!” she exclaimed.
“Natalie.” “Yes, I know her!” Natalie cut straight to the point.
Irwin took a sharp breath, his gaze deepening as he looked at Natalie.
Seizing the moment when Irwin was momentarily distracted, Natalie sl*pped her hand out of his gra grasp and moved to the side.
“How did you two meet?” Irwin asked.
Associating with people from the Schneider family wasn’t a very well–received act in Wexford.
It was as if merely knowing someone from that family would bring misfortune.
Yet Natalie, once a homemaker, actually knew them?
And no one had known?
How?!
“Does Abigail know about the missing half of the documents?” Irwin asked.
“Mr. Frazier!” Natalie’s tone grew heavy, her eyes reflecting a hint of sarcasm. “Are you asking if Abigail knows about the widely known missing documents?” Irwin fell silent, stunned.
Indeed!
The whole world now knew that the missing half of the documents was in his and Cedric’s possession. For years, neither knew about the other’s copy.
Yet Natalie… The storm in her eyes was unmistakable!
A long silence passed between them, but the atmosphere remained tense.
Irwin looked at the woman before him, suddenly realizing just how deeply Natalie had been involved. There were sides to her that he and perhaps even Cedric had never truly understood.
“Abigail… was she your first scheme since arriving in Wexford?” he questioned.
“Would I need to do such a thing?” Natalie replied sarcastically.
+25 BONUS Indeed, Abigail didn’t require any of Natalie’s manipulations to become entangled in this mess.
Why?
Now that the whereabouts of those documents were clear, troubles weren’t just brewing between Cedric and Abigail, but even around Irwin!
Irwin had to admit that Natalie’s move was truly ruthless.
“Fine, then tell me, how did you find out about the documents?” Everything was in chaos–utter chaos!
Natalie’s move had disrupted both Irwin’s and Cedric’s worlds.
At this moment, Irwin realized Natalie was not just formidable–she was enigmatic, with depths he had never truly understood!
Natalie chuckled.
It was a deep, unsettling laugh.
“Natalie!” “Why? Are you starting to panic?” Natalie’s smirk deepened as she heard the urgency in his Voice.
Those eyes–undeniably gentle in appearance–suddenly seemed more formidable to Irwin than even Abigail.
Irwin’s emotions surged like a stormy sea. Over the years, no one had ever been able to influence his emotions. Yet now, facing this seemingly delicate woman… He took a deep breath, his voice laden with gravity. “Whatever your intentions are, stop them now.” Yes, stop.
Clearly, her arrival in Wexford had a purpose, and this was just the beginning.
The Schneider family was indeed a grand “gift” Natalie had given Cedric, Irwin’s mind felt like a storm had taken hold of it. But after the chaos settled, he pulled Natalie novelbin close to him.
“Now, how do you think I’ll get out of this predicament?” Indeed, it was a predicament.
Natalie’s move had trapped him, hadn’t it?
Irwin had to admit that this seemingly simple woman was quite the troublemaker.
“Kainounce that I’m not your fiancee? Why don’t you try that? I’ve already handled the Schneider Jamilly Test grens you.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 485-Natalie’s l*ps curled into a smile.
But obviously… from the smile on her face, Irwin could tell things were far from being as simple as she claimed.
Dissolve the engagement with her?
Ever since the Jarvis family announced her identity, so many people from Simeria had stepped over the threshold of the Jarvis family.
It was clear that if Irwin were to announce this news, what awaited them was…!
“It hurts!” Irwin suddenly pinched her cheek, looking exasperated like he was dealing with a child. Tears welled up in Natalie’s eyes from the pain.
“So, you know that it hurts, huh?” Irwin said.
“of “Of course I do!” Natalie shot back.
She glared at Irwin resentfully.
The tense atmosphere that was present moments ago eased instantly with Irwin’s action.
However, this relief was short–lived.
Irwin’s expression turned serious. “Nat, I know you hate him and me, but….!” At this point, Irwin paused. He had to admit that Natalie genuinely despised Cedric. From the moment she arrived in Wexford, she had already prepared a grand “gift” for him.
Natalie looked at Irwin, her mischievous gaze disappearing in an instant.
In its place, she radiated coldness and severity!
Irwin took a moment to study at her.
“Wexford isn’t as simple as you think. When you first arrived, you knew nothing and couldn’t see clearly!” he remarked.
“Like those years I was beside Cedric?” Natalie sneered sarcastically.
Back then, wasn’t it the same? She was oblivious and clueless about everything.
For the first time, Irwin fell silent when it came to Cedric and their decade–long relationship.
Undoubtedly, no matter what Cedric’s intentions were when he approached Natalie, he had never involved her with Wexford.
+25 BONUS But Irwin… was different.
The atmosphere inside the car grew even heavier at that moment.
As they disembarked at the manor, neither Irwin nor Natalie exchanged words. The atmosphere between them was palpably different.
Dylan arrived.
Seeing Irwin return, he approached with a grave expression. “Sir.” He cast an instinctual glance at Natalie, and she huffed coldly, “I’m going to rest.” With that, she departed. After she was gone, Irwin frowned, glancing at Dylan with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Ever since Natalie arrived in Wexford, Irwin’s emotions have been volatile, even though she was by his side.
After all, Natalie had changed, and this transformation was something he had indirectly facilitated.
When her ten years with Cedric was brought up in the car, Irwin had to admit… Whether Natalie had been happy or not by Cedric’s side, Cedric had never dragged her into the mess in Wexford. This act of keeping her out was the greatest protection for her. To say Cedric had no feelings for her would be a lie.
It was clear that Natalie held a significant place in his heart.
Yet, Irwin had pulled her into this quagmire.
And now, Natalie wasn’t the only one who had changed…. novelbin Irwin had also changed so much!
“Just spit it out. What is it?” Irwin demanded.
Dylan replied, “Casey has found out.” At Dylan’s words, Irwin’s face stiffened.
Without a doubt, Clyde’s people were indeed resourceful! Over the years, it had always been the same!
Whenever someone from Clyde’s circle intervened, the truth, sooner or later, would be unearthed.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 487-Daphne Has Found Out “Summon him to meet me,” Irwin commanded after a moment of silence.
+25 BONUS Dylan was silent, and his already serious expression deepened further.
“You know, Mr. Yarbrough’s men have never betrayed him.” They only followed orders, devoid of emotion!
Irwin remained silent. The weight of Dylan’s words had clearly impacted him.
If the Schneider family were known to be cunning people, then the men loyal to Clyde were known to be notoriously difficult to deal with in Wexford. novelbin If they were to intervene, the situation might leave no room for maneuvering- Observing Irwin’s somber demeanor, Dylan took a deep breath. A chilling glint flashed in hist eyes as he asked, “So, do we proceed?” The implication was clear.
Irwin’s gaze sharpened as he looked at Dylan.
Beneath the dim lighting, a palpable tension swirled between them.
Irwin knew that Natalie couldn’t be made aware of the current situation.
The only way to stop it from happening was to do something to Casey…!
However, he quickly dismissed that thought, stating, “No need.” Dylan pressed, “Then?” “There’s someone who’s more anxious than we are,” Irwin responded coldly.
The decade–long scheme between him and Natalie was already on shaky ground. If Casey created chaos now, the repercussions could be devastating- Emotions couldn’t be allowed to interfere. Once they did, everything could change irrevocably.
“Are you referring to Mr. Johnson?” Dylan questioned, trying to piece together the situation.
“Natalie might be here with me, but he’s showing no signs of letting go,” Irwin retorted sharply.
Indeed, while his team monitored Casey’s progress, so did Cedric’s.
The unexpected twist was that despite the years that had passed, Clyde’s people had ultimately unearthed the truth./ +25 BONUS Dylan nodded in acknowledgment but offered a cautionary reminder, “If Casey knows, then Mr. Yarbrough probably knows as well.” After all, they were Clyde’s men, and that came with its own set of implications and dangers.
The implication was glaringly clear.
While Cedric may be unsure of what to do about Casey, what about Clyde? Who would dare to make a move on him?
Regardless, Natalie would inevitably find out sooner or later.
Taking a deep breath, Irwin’s eyes shimmered with profound understanding. “In that case, we can only watch and wait.” Dylan nodded in agreement.
“Actually, it might be for the best if she knows,” Irwin mused.
Dylan responded with evident concern in his voice, “If she finds out, she’ll be….” Given the significant “gift” Natalue had sent Cedric upon her arrival in Wexford, it was clear what would happen if she discovered the truth now.
The resentment Natalie already harbored towards the situation would only intensify..!
What kind of situation would unfold in Wexford if that happened?
What hidden power was concealed in its seemingly inconspicuous framework? To think that such a lavish “gift” as the Schneider family would be presented to Cedric was perplexing.
At this point, a deep worry crossed Irwin’s eyes. Natalie had never been a straightforward entity in their world.
Initially, Cedric had provided her with a simple environment, like a bird trapped in a cage. Under the right circumstances, she would have remained content within those confines.
However, she had already incinerated her gilded cage after enduring so much.
“Make sure Cedric is informed,” Irwin finally broke the silence, emphasizing his point. Dylan instantly grasped Irwin’s intent and nodded in acknowledgment, “Understood!”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 488-Things Are Getting Serious After leaving the banquet, Cedric immediately parted ways with Abigail.
As he got into his car, Lucas delivered some unsettling news.
He pulled irritably at his tie, frustration evident in his eyes!
He had to admit that Natalie had really given him such a grand “gift“!
The Schneider family…!
He clenched both fists tightly, his knuckles cracking.
“So, Casey has discovered everything?” Cedric queried..
“Yes, he has located Aspen from that incident at the Redwood Slope,” Lucas replied with a grave tone.
Aspen was the person most significant to that woman… After she was gone, Cedric had dealt with everyone around her.
However, Aspen was the exception.
If there was anyone left from back then, it was Aspen.
Unexpectedly…!
“Clyde’s people are indeed cunning, just as the rumors suggest,” Cedric expressed, his tone tinged with underlying irritation.
Aspen must be nearing forty by now. After leaving Redwood Slope, Aspen traveled to various places.
Cedric had thought it would be difficult for Casey to find out… but who would have thought she would be able to locate Aspen?
“Does Irwin know about this?” Cedric asked, visibly vexed.
Lucas replied, “Have you forgotten? When Madam wasn’t pleased, Mr. Frazier’s people distanced themselves from Casey.” “That sly old fox,” Cedric muttered, his irritation deepening.
In the confined space, the tension was palpable.
Casey…!
It was undeniable that she now possessed knowledge of things she shouldn’t be aware of.
Lucas looked at Cedric with concern. “So, what’s our next move?” 1/3 +25 BONUS Dylan nodded in acknowledgment but offered a cautionary reminder, “If Casey knows, then Mr. Yarbrough probably knows as well.” After all, they were Clyde’s men, and that came with its own set of implications and dangers.
The implication was glaringly clear.
While Cedric may be unsure of what to do about Casey, what about Clyde? Who would dare to make a move on him?
Regardless, Natalie would inevitably find out sooner or later.
Taking a deep breath, Irwin’s eyes shimmered with profound understanding. “In that case, we can only watch and wait.” Dylan nodded in agreement.
“Actually, it might be for the best if she knows,” Irwin mused.
Dylan responded with evident concern in his voice, “If she finds out, she’ll be…” Given the significant “gift” Natalue had sent Cedric upon her arrival in Wexford, it was clear. what would happen if she discovered the truth now. novelbin The resentment Natalie already harbored towards the situation would only intensify…!
What kind of situation would unfold in Wexford if that happened?

At this point, a deep worry crossed Irwin’s eyes. Natalie had never been a straightforward entity in their world.
Initially, Cedric had provided her with a simple environment, like a bird trapped in a cage. Under the right circumstances, she would have remained content within those confines.
However, she had already incinerated her gilded cage after enduring so much.
“Make sure Cedric is informed,” Irwin finally broke the silence, emphasizing his point. Dylan instantly grasped Irwin’s intent and nodded in acknowledgment, “Understood!”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 489-Don’t Let Natalie Find Out Clyde stated firmly, “She has the right to know.” “Yes, sir.” Clyde had to admit that the matter at hand… the way Cedric and Irwin had handled it years ago. had been quite meticulous.
Despite spending so many years in Wexford, Clyde remained unaware of the intricate animosities between Irwin and Cedric, much less the significant events that had transpired in Wexford back then.
While other involvements could be overlooked, the fact that his sister was now entangled was another story altogether.
Hah!
However, observing Natalie’s recent tumultuous experiences in Wexford, Clyde felt relatively untroubled.
He instructed, “Don’t meet Cedric and Irwin. Inform Nat directly.” “As you wish, sir.” “Also…” A cold glint flashed in Clyde’s eyes as he pondered. Knowing Natalie’s actions and demeanor in Wexford, he was certain she wasn’t someone easily manipulated.
If she were to discover this information, Wexford would be thrown into chaos, “Have Whitney accompany her,” he decided.
“Understood.” Upon hearing the instruction for Whitney Larson to accompany Natalie, Casey realized the gravity of the situation. It was undoubtedly more complicated than she initially thought.
The moment Clyde hung up the phone, a chill intensified in his eyes.
When Stephen entered the room and caught sight of Clyde’s chilling gaze, he felt an involuntary shiver up his spine.
Clyde’s instincts were sharp. By the time Stephen stepped into the study, he had already masked his frosty demeanor.
“Cly.” “Yes?” Clyde responded.
+25 BONUS A hint of disappointment flickered in Stephen’s eyes at the man’s response. Clyde had yet to refer to Stephen and Heather as his parents.
“Was it Nat who connected the Schneider family and Cedric?” Stephen inquired.
“Yes,” Clyde nodded.
Stephen’s expression darkened at the revelation.
Clearly, he hadn’t anticipated that matters between Natalie and Cedric had escalated to such a level.
However, considering Cedric’s actions towards Natalie and the hardships she endured during that period, Stephen couldn’t find it within himself to forgive him either. Natalie had faced immense challenges and dangers during the birth of Luna.
How could she ever allow Cedric to treat Luna in such a manner?
Stephen sighed deeply.
Clyde declared, “Their matters will come to a resolution this time.” Stephen responded, “That’s easier said than done. Given the current situation, it’s unlikely to be that simple.” This was the very aspect that concerned Stephen the most. The complexities between Natalie and Cedric over the years, coupled with the recent developments, left him with an indescribable sense of unease.
After all, Natalie had endured so much pain because of Cedric. As a father, this was something Stephen couldn’t easily overlook.
Clyde continued, “It’s complicated, but thankfully… she remains steadfast.” Stephen pondered Clyde’s words.
Steadfast?
Indeed.
Perhaps this was the one consolation for them. Natalie had been battered and bruised, yet she remained steadfast in her love for her family.
The most agonizing experience in this world is unrequited love..
Fortunately, after navigating countless hardships, Natalie had moved on. While the current situation was painful, the deeper anguish seemed to reside with Cedric.
At his age, Stephen’s perspectives had evolved beyond those of a younger man. What he genuinely desired was Natalie’s well–being. He understood that revenge was a double–edged “I need you to keep a close watch on her, especially given the uncertainties in Wexford,” Stephen finally said, reflecting on the gravity of the situation.
Clyde nodded reassuringly. “Rest assured, I’ll ensure she’s protected.” “Good,” Stephen acknowledged, feeling somewhat relieved upon hearing Clyde’s commitment.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 490-She’s With Irwin In Wexford, Irwin and Cedric were both anxiously concerned that Natalie might discover something.
As this tension thickened, Lucas suddenly appeared at Casey’s villa. Both of them emanated a visible tension, and the atmosphere around them felt charged with urgency.
The person before him was clearly a woman, but she was dressed as a man. Lucas furrowed his. brows and asked, “How many people know you’re a woman?” Everyone had been referring to Casey as a man because they had thought she was one.
Casey paused, taken aback.
Not many in Wexford knew that she was indeed a woman.
Casey had met Natalie twice, but Natalie was also likely unaware and had forgotten that Clyde had once told her that Casey was a woman.
“What’s it to you?” Casey’s tone grew cold.
“You…!” “Get to the point,” Casey interjected impatiently. Over the years, their interactions had been minimal. She detested when people brought up her gender, as if being a woman made her less competent.
Given that few knew her secret in Wexford, it was rarely ever mentioned.
Since that was the way Casey was acting, Lucas got straight to the point. “Our master doesn’t want you to present Ms. Russell’s information to Madam!” “Hah!” Upon hearing his directness, Casey let out a sarcastic laugh.
While the laugh was an immediate response, its masculinity made it sharper than usual.
“State your terms,” Lucas demanded.
Terms? Seriously?!
Seeing as he was so direct, it seemed he came prepared!
Before Casey could respond, Lucas continued, “If you think I don’t have the authority, you can discuss it with our master.” Cedric? No way.
“I won’t see him!” Casey was straightforward, cutting right to the chase.
+25 BONUS Lucas was silent.
“Everyone knows that your master is ruthless. Honestly, if he had been around these past years, Wexford would resemble a battleground!” As she casually raised a glass of red wine, her short, sharp hairstyle made her look even more dashing. Lucas found himself momentarily blinded by the sight, and his expression darkened!
“You’re one of Clyde’s people. He wouldn’t harm you,” Lucas asserted.
With a hint of sarcasm, Casey responded, “I’ve never heard that there’s a good relationship. between our masters. I don’t think… your words hold any weight, do they?”novelbin Lucas blinked, momentarily thrown off by her sharp words. When Casey was on her game, it was indeed challenging for men to keep up.
“So, what are your terms?” Lucas pressed.
With a smirk, Casey retorted, “Terms? There are none. But there is one other matter!” She suddenly gave Lucas a mocking look “What is it?!” Lucas urged.
Downing her wine with a hint of bravado, she adjusted her attire. “You said our young mistress is your master’s wife. If so, why is she now living with Mr. Frazier?” Lucas was left speechless.
“Lucas,” Casey began, “If our young mistress were to discover what I’ve uncovered…” She left the threat hangin in the air, leaving the rest unsaid.
With this statement, Casey wasn’t just warning Lucas. She was indirectly sending a message to Cedric as well.
Problems had arisen, and avoiding them wouldn’t be as straightforward as they might hope!
