A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 491-Taken Away by Force “What you’re thinking right now is merely to cover things up as much as possible! After meeting our young mistress twice, I’ve come to understand that she’s not easily fooled.” “And don’t you think your reactions towards her have been a bit excessive lately?” Lucas was silent. At Casey’s words, his already grim expression darkened even further.
There was no denying it.
Casey was speaking the truth.
Whether it was Cedric or Irwin, their reactions were overly intense when Casey intervened in this matter. Because Casey was one of Clyde’s people, and they knew all too well what it meant to be associated with Clyde.
“It’s only a matter of time before the truth was revealed.” So, what’s the point of hiding anything?
Besides, Natalie isn’t someone easily fooled, either.
Whatever had caused such a strong reaction from both Cedric and Irwin was certainly not a simple matter.
A flimsy excuse wouldn’t suffice.
“Casey!” “Mr. Smith, please leave.” “You…” “It seems you haven’t really understood me over these years!” Lucas fell silent. At her words, a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
However, in the next moment, an even colder light glimmered in Casey’s eyes. Danger emanated from the very air around them.
Finally, Lucas stood up to leave. But just as he did, Casey stopped him and said, “It seems our young mistress holds a significant place in the heart of your master.” Indeed.
Natalie must hold quite an important position.
Otherwise, why would Cedric react so strongly when Natalie began to investigate this matter +25 BONUS 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 pot. “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.

Natalie must hold quite an important position.
Otherwise, why would Cedric react so strongly when Natalie began to investigate this matter +25 BONUS And Irwin…!
Watching Natalie’s recent actions, it seemed these two would face consequences from her once she knew the truth.
As Lucas began to walk away, he heard Casey’s voice from behind, “Pass along a message to your master. He shouldn’t think about doing anything to me. After all, Mr. Yarbrough is already aware of everything now.” As Casey finished speaking, the sharpness in Lucas’s gaze towards her intensified.
“Ever since Ms. Walker set foot in Wexford, matters concerning Mr. Johnson and Mr. Frazier have been out of their control!” Once upon a time, why had Cedric never allowed Natalie to know about Wexford?
Beyond his desire to protect her, there was also a deeper concern–he feared how she would react upon learning the truth.
If… If Natalie hadn’t experienced the incidents involving Isabella and Kayla while by Cedric’s side, these revelations might not have been such a big deal to her.
But circumstances had changed.
For Natalie, questions about her position in Cedric’s heart had always lingered. Now, with all this information coming to light, the implications were earth–shattering.
It was the same with Irwin.
If he had never manipulated Natalie, his involvement in these matters wouldn’t have been so significant.
Lucas stepped out of Casey’s villa.
Cedric was silent as he listened to Lucas‘ report. Once Lucas was done, the atmosphere grew even colder within the confined space.
“Clyde knows?” The chill in the man’s voice was unmistakable.
Lucas nodded. “Yes, sir.” novelbin If that was the case, things had spiraled out of control!
“Didn’t we have people watching them? How did matters escalate to this extent? Cedric’s tone showed a hint of frustration, clearly displeased with how events had unfolded.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 492-We’re Leaving Immediately Clearly, they hadn’t anticipated things would escalate to this point.
“His movements seemed fine. We just didn’t expect that Aspen would actually be in Wexford!” Lucas said.
Indeed.
The information they received years ago was that Aspeny had left Wexford. Hence, as long as Casey remained within Wexford, the situation shouldn’t have escalated to this magnitude.
Since that was the case, Cedric and his people hadn’t paid much attention to Aspen’s whereabouts.
But who could have guessed that Aspen would return to Wexford after getting married? To make matters worse, Casey discovered the only person related to that incident in this recent situation.
With a loud resolve.
Natalie, his… Nat!
, Cedric slammed his fist against the car door, his eyes filled with chilling Cedric was getting anxious!
He had never imagined a day when things would spiral so out of control. As Casey had pointed. out, ever since Natalie set foot in Wexford… Cedric had this lingering feeling that things were spiraling out of control.
And now, they truly had.
“What now?” Lucas asked.
“To Terra Manor!” novelbin Terra Manor was where Irwin currently resided.
At Terra Manor, Natalie gazed at the gentle–looking man before her.
Her eyes dimmed, and her tone was far from pleasant. “I want to sleep.” She was genuinely exhausted.
“Nat.” “Yes?” נוד “Why do you insist on investigating?” Natalie raised an eyebrow, glancing at her silent phone before looking back at Irwin..
She rose to her feet and declared, “I need to make a call!” “Natane!” Irwin’s voice grew stern once again.
25 BONUS “Can you stop investigating, please?” The already strained expression on Natalie’s face grew even colder upon hearing Irwin’s persistent inquiry.
Just then, her phone buzzed in her hand. When that happened, Irwin stiffened.
Rising swiftly, he reached her side and snatched the phone before she could even identify the caller.
“What are you doing?” Natalie exclaimed.
“These moments should be just ours,” Irwin replied.
“Give that back!” Natalie’s temper flared instantly.
What had gotten into this man?!
“Shawn!” Irwin called out, summoning the butler, who promptly appeared. “Prepare for a trip. I’m taking my fiancee to Mount Elven.” Mount Elven?
That was a renowned glacial retreat, popular for summer vacations but not among those from Wexford. Wexford was known for its frequent rainfall and relatively cooler temperatures. Hence, the locals typically preferred warmer destinations.
“I’m not going,” Natalie said, her voice turning icy.
She approached to reclaim her phone, but Irwin raised his hand, and the phone continued to vibrate in his grip.
“Give it to me!” Natalie’s voice grew colder, her frustration evident.
Ignoring her tone, Irwin pressed on, “Prepare everything quickly. We’re leaving immediately!” “Irwin!” Natalie’s tone grew more forceful.
She never agreed to go on a vacation with him!
Natalie noted Irwin’s exaggerated response. Being both sensitive and perceptive, she had felt the weight of Cedric and Irwin’s reactions since she began investigating.
Was it something Casey discovered that had Irwin in such a panic?
Or perhaps Cedric was also involved?
“You know very well why I came to Wexford!” she declared firmly.
Given the circumstances, she wouldn’t leave Wexford, no matter what unfolded!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 493-A Tough Nut to Crack Irwin turned to Shawn and commanded, “Go. Prepare everything immediately.” “Irwin.” Natalie’s tone grew increasingly firm.
Her head was already throbbing, and with each passing moment, it felt as though her headache intensified.
“Give me the phone first.” Observing Irwin’s behavior, Natalie was certain.
Casey must have discovered something.
Was the call… from Casey?
Ever since Dylan departed, Irwin had been acting strangely.
If someone were to tell Natalie that there wasn’t any progress on the investigation, she wouldn’t believe it!
She had to admit that Casey certainly possessed some capability.
At this moment, Natalie fully grasped the challenges Clyde had faced and the position he now occupied. The people around him spoke volumes about his journey.
“After we return from Mount Elven, I’ll give it to you,” Irwin replied calmly.
“You….” Natalie’s anger surged.
Hearing Irwin’s response only heightened her emotions. Her phone kept vibrating, momentarily pausing before starting again.
In the end, Irwin expedited their departure and whisked Natalie away in a helicopter. As the lights of the night grew dimmer below, Natalie exclaimed, “Do you think this will stop me?!” The more they resisted, the more Natalie suspected the matter was intricate.
Could this be related to the Jarvis family?
The depth of her gaze towards Irwin intensified with her thoughts.
Irwin responded, “I’m not trying to stop you.” “Hah!” Natalie scoffed.
With what he was doing, how could he claim that he wasn’t trying to stop her?
It was already late at night, and Natalie’s tone was unpleasant as she asked, “How long?!” +25 BONUS “Nat?” “How long are we staying at Mount Elven?” Wexford was in chaos right now, and suddenly, Irwin wanted to take her on a vacation to Mount Elven?!
Irwin replied, “How does a month sound?” A month?!
That was a considerable amount of time.
Natalie gazed at him with a hint of sarcasm, “You think you can last that long with me?” “I won’t know unless I try,” Irwin shot back confidently.
Natalie fell silent.
Her initial sarcasm seemed to only fuel her own anger now. Suddenly, Irwin leaned closer. Before Natalie could react, he cradled her face in his hands, and his warm breath brushed against her skin.
With a mysterious tone, he whispered, “Since you’ve seen the information Casey provided, you should know I’m quite formidable.” “You all are,” Natalie retorted with increased sarcasm.
After all, wasn’t that the truth?
“As for a month…” Natalie’s voice trailed off, deepening in intensity.
Irwin was silent.
Natalie didn’t finish her sentence, but it was clear to her that this situation was far from simple.
Irwin remained silent.
Given the current circumstances, it was evident!
After her outburst, Natalie realized she couldn’t change the fact that they were headed to Mount Elven now. So, she calmed down and appeared less anxious than before.
Natalie knew that since Casey was aware, Clyde must also know about it.
Irwin might be able to keep her restrained for a month, but could he do it forever?
Moreover, a month was a long time.
Could he truly manage?
+25 BONUS Irwin took Natalie to Mount Elven. novelbin Meanwhile, when Cedric arrived at the Terra Manor, he spotted Casey standing at the entrance.
She was clad in a leather jacket and combat boots. Her cropped hair gave her a rugged and dashing appearance, Although Lucas had already relayed the information to Cedric, seeing Casey appear at the Terra Manor in the dead of night stirred a dangerous sensation within him.
Lucas returned. “Your Excellency.” “What’s the situation?”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 494-He Also Wants to Take Luna Away “Mr. Frazier has left with Madam,” Lucas conveyed in a grave to From the journey to Terra Manor until now, Cedric had dialed Natalie’s number countless times, only to be met with silence.
Learning that Irwin had taken Natalie away, Cedric’s expression turned even colder.
It was obvious that Casey had received the same news as Cedric. After her meeting with Lucas, she had tried Natalie’s number repeatedly but received no response.
Now, hearing such news… As Casey passed by Cedric’s car, she paused, locking eyes with him.
“If you think this isn’t an overreaction, just wait and see how Ms. Walker deals with you all!” With those final words, Casey gracefully departed.
Inside the car, Cedric and Lucas exchanged a tense glance. Casey had pointed out their worst fear.
With Natalie’s temperament, the situation in Wexford might truly become uncontrollable.
Could they afford not to react strongly?
Judging by the situation, Cedric’s gaze deepened as he remarked, “She’s proving to be quite the tough nut to crack.” Lucas remained silent, his posture stiffening subtly at Cedric’s words.
Irwin had taken Natalie away!
Cedric exhaled deeply. “Do you know where they’ve gone?” While Irwin’s method of preventing Natalie from finding out seemed temporarily effective, the idea of the two of them being out of his sight sent a dangerous spark flickering in Cedric’s eyes.
“Their whereabouts are being concealed,” Lucas responded, implying nob*dy knew where Irwin had taken Natalie.
Cedric’s eyes grew colder.
Did no one really know where they had gone?
In terms of peace, it seemed like only Simeria was peaceful right now!
+25 BONUS While chaos reigned in Wexford, Stephen had entirely removed the Jarvis family’s connection. to Wexford after his last trip there.
Clyde had since taken over Regal Horizons International.
Presently, Stephen and Heather were focused on taking care of their grandchild. Having toiled for the better part of his life, Stephen finally found some tranquility. novelbin However, the only concern remained Natalie’s situation. Matters of the heart were always tricky to navigate.
For now, all Heather and Stephen could do for Natalie was to ensure Luna was well taken care of.
However, Cedric’s actions were far from simple. The fact that he had sent someone close to him to collect Luna was a clear indication that his people had been entirely ousted from Lotus Villa!
“He’s trying to take Luna away while his issues with Nat remain unresolved,” Heather fumed, recalling Cedric’s previous treatment of Luna in a manner she found unforgivable.
How could she possibly allow Luna to be taken by his people?
“He’s probably attempting to use Luna as a bargaining chip between him and Nat!” Stephen speculated.
Indeed, Cedric was desperate.
Irwin’s sudden departure with Natalie from Wexford had left them all in disarray.
Cedric wanting Luna brought to Wexford was likely his way of sending a warning to Natalie… A warning to her relationship with Irwin!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 495-Bianca’s Situation Heather was already furious.
When she heard Stephen’s assertion that Cedric intended to resolve his issues with Natalie in such a manner, she was beyond enraged..
“He must be out of his mind! Not to mention Kayla is still with him!” Exactly.
Kayla!
Without a doubt, those close to Natalie knew that Kayla was a thorn on Natalie’s side. But at a time like this, Cedric’s desperation to lure Natalie back to him in such a manner was simply madness.
“He’s panicking,” Stephen sighed.
Indeed.
Cedric was panicking.
With Natalie and Irwin suddenly disappearing from Wexford and the public announcement of their engagement, how could Cedric not be anxious?
Once upon a time, Natalie was within his grasp, whether it was for better or worse.
But now, things have changed.
The current Natalie was independent, making Cedric frantic.
“What good does panicking do him now? Where was he all this time?” Heather pressed on.
“Not to mention Isabella, but Kayla? Knowing how difficult it was for Nat, he still went ahead with such actions.” That was the most unforgivable part for Heather.
While the intricacies of their past love might remain a mystery to some, what role did Kayla play in all this?
That was what everyone couldn’t understand.
Stephen sighed deeply, “Let’s not dwell on that.” Seeing his wife troubled for their children over the years weighed on his heart. She had enjoyed carefree days under his protection, and it was unforeseen that she would be worried +25 BONUS “I just hope Nat never forgives him,” Heather murmured with bitterness.
Men and women viewed things differently.
Stephen hoped for a quick resolution, but from Heather’s standpoint, Cedric’s actions were unforgivable.
So what if Natalie had given birth to Cedric’s child?
As Natalie’s mother, Heather couldn’t find it in her heart to forgive Cedric.
At Versant Villa, Zane had been extremely occupied lately. With clarity on the whereabouts of the missing half of the documents, the Entes family’s influence had begun to assert itself.
“Madam,” Sebastian called out as he approached.
“What is it?” novelbin “Lord Zane tried calling you but couldn’t get through. He asked me to relay a message.” “What did he say?” “Prepare yourself for tonight. He’ll come to fetch you later, and you’ll both head to Entes Manor.” Upon hearing this, Bianca’s heart skipped a beat.
Entes Manor? The ancestral home of the Entes family?
Bianca had never considered setting foot there. Yet, upon hearing this news, a strange sensation tugged at her heart.
“Very well, I understand,” she managed to reply.
Her voice was tinged with apprehension, but she nodded at the butler.
Sebastian retreated, and Bianca headed upstairs.
Upon opening her wardrobe, neatly arranged clothes met her gaze–all tailored for her since her arrival. She had to admit that despite the transactional nature of her marriage to Zane, he had never mistreated her.
She chose a conservative black dress that exuded elegance and fit her perfectly. Though they hadn’t shared deep conversations during their time together, Bianca had a keen eye and could tell that Zane was a strict man.
After applying a light touch of makeup, she heard Zane return. There was a unique elegance to him as he entered the room, capturing Bianca’s attention.
A faint smile was on his l*ps as he looked at her.
“I’m ready. Are we leaving now?” Bianca stood up and approached Zane. But just inches away, he reached out and pulled her into his arms,
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 496-What Banquet is Tonight?
“What are you…” Bianca started.
“From now on, whether it’s here or at Entes Manor, you better get used to this closeness, alright?” Bianca fell silent.
What did Zane mean?
Did that imply that tonight would involve intimate gestures?
Despite being a strong woman, Bianca’s cheeks flushed slightly at the thought.
“What’s the matter?” Zane noticed her silence and softened his tone, thinking he had startled her.
Warm breath brushed against her neck, and Bianca felt something stir in the depths of her heart.
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it,” Bianca said.
“Hmm, good girl.” novelbin Bianca fell silent, and her heart stirred once more.
Regardless of how powerful a woman might be, she couldn’t help but tremble slightly when treated like a child by a man.
After lingering for a moment, Bianca watched with a dazed expression as the man turned away.
Zane headed straight to the nearby cloakroom, selecting his attire. Coat first, followed by his suit and shirt..
Bianca fell silent as a storm raged within her.
Turning around, she said, “I’ll wait outside for you!” “Just stay here.” “T–that’s…!” Bianca was usually articulate as a lawyer, yet she found herself stumbling over her words before Zane.
Damn him!
This man, he…!
“Given that there are people from Entes Manor here, we need to adjust how we interact.” 12 +25 BONUS Before Blanca could decipher the meaning of his words, t clothes.
man had already changed into his.
The steady sound of his footsteps approached her. A force gripped her delicate waist, causing Bianca’s entire b*dy to stiffen instantly.
aw “It’s time to go,” a warm voice whispered in her ear, sending a shiver down her spine.
Zane was simply bewitching!
Witnessing this scene between Zane and Bianca, everyone’s hearts melted in envy.
Many were envious of Bianca.
When Bianca became the mistress of this place out of nowhere, and considering her relationship with Malcolm, many were initially skeptical.
Yet, the fact that she had become the mistress of this place showcased her capabilities.
Now, after several instances, everyone here had come to respect and submit to her.
In the car, Bianca stared out of the window.
Her tone was unusual as she said, “I’ll find that person tomorrow.” That person? One from Entes Manor?
When Zane heard this, he was stunned momentarily. He looked at her and said, “There are also people loyal to Malcolm there.” Malcolm!
The mere mention of his name caused Bianca’s already tense b*dy to stiffen further, making her heart skip a beat.
“What kind of banquet is tonight?” She didn’t respond to his previous statement.
Clearly, Malcolm had become such a thorn in Bianca’s side that even mentioning him felt like a waste of time.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 497-Half a Mistress of The Entes Family Zane glanced at Bianca. “It’s a family banquet.” A family banquet?!
“The Entes family holds a family banquet every half a year, which is why I haven’t taken your there before,” he said in a gentle tone, seemingly offering an explanation for never bringing her to the Entes family gatherings.
Upon hearing this explanation, Bianca was taken aback for a moment, her eyes revealing a hint of unease. “You don’t need to tell me all this.” “You are now the mistress of Versant Villa and half of the Entes family,” Zane added.
Bianca fell silent.
Her mind felt like it had exploded with those words as it struck a nerve deep within her.
After all, she had never envisioned herself becoming the mistress of the Entes family.
Previously, by Malcolm’s side, she had endured endless humiliation. If she could, she would have cut ties with the Entes family entirely.
But she knew that was impossible.
Especially after the conflicts with Faye and now Jade, she and Malcolm would likely remain at odds indefinitely.
“Do I need to prepare anything?” Bianca asked Zane cautiously.
Zane replied, “No need.” No need?
It suddenly occurred to Bianca that she had overlooked something important. “Should I bring. a gift for my first visit to Entes Manor?” “No need!” Seriously?
Perhaps it wasn’t entirely her fault for being a bit oblivious, considering she didn’t have any family ties and was unfamiliar with such formalities.
“Don’t I have to show respect to the elders?” “No.” Despite Zane’s reassurance, Bianca still felt uneasy. Yet, they had come this far. There wasn’t 11 +25 BONUS Suddenly, a warmth enveloped her hand. Zane remarked, “It’s rare to see you this flustered.
He made it sound as if she had never been flustered in her life.
Before she could respond, Zane continued, “I’ve seen you debate in court.” Bianca was silent. At his words, her face instantly flushed a deep shade of red, avoiding Zane’s gaze.
“Your arguments are clear, and your words sharp! You don’t seem like the kind of woman. casily restrained by such matters,” Zane commented.
“It’s different,” Bianca replied, her tone slightly awkward. novelbin Hearing such recognition from Zane made Bianca reflect on the person she once was, leaving her feeling somewhat unsettled.
Zane chuckled, and Bianca felt her cheeks grow even hotter. It felt as if her blush was so intense that not even her makeup could conceal it.
Meanwhile, it was early morning in Mount Elven due to the time difference with Simeria.
Snow–covered mountains stretched across the horizon, casting a serene white glow.
Inside a wooden cabin, warmth enveloped every corner.
Natalie stood by the window, captivated by the steady descent of snowflakes. Everything outside shimmered in a pristine silver hue.
A man approached her from behind, wrapping his arms around her.
“Do you like it here?” he whispered.
“Yes, I do,” she replied softly.
There was a time when Natalie loved traveling, especially since Verde City rarely witnessed snow.
She had always dreamt of visiting snowy landscapes, skiing, and building snowmen. No matter one’s age, there was always a childlike innocence within, and Natalie was no exception.
As the man’s embrace tightened, his cold breath felt strangely warm against her skin.
“Could you let go?” she said, her voice icy, mirroring the snowflakes outside.
The man’s hands stiffened momentarily before tightening even more..
“Nat, I know you resent me for those ten years,” he murmured.
“But could you look beyond those ten years and… just look at me?” His voice carried a depth tinged with an almost imperceptible pain.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 498-I Can’t Handle You Ten years!
Indeed, a decade could change so much. It was enough time to achieve one’s goals and even transform oneself.
And he…!
Wexford was the turning point.
When Irwin realized how desperately he wanted to keep certain things from her, he knew… he had completely fallen.
In truth, he had sensed something before. But back then, he had refused to acknowledge it, willing to do anything to achieve his goals.
“Did you have something to do with Kayla’s illness?” Natalie asked, her voice icy, not softening even a bit despite Irwin’s tone.
“Nat!” Irwin exclaimed.
“The incident with Luna and Kayla… It was also part of your plan, right?” Was it?
The answer was yes!
He knew exactly what disgusted her. So, he understood what could damage her relationship with Cedric.
He knew what to do so that their relationship would be completely shattered.
He had achieved his goal!
Natalie was a an intelligent woman. Even if the matter had been unrelated to Irwin, she would inevitably link it to him after his decade of manipulation.
“Believe it or not, that had nothing to do with me. I achieved my objectives then and had no reason to go further,” Irwin stated.
Natalie was silent, and her sharp gaze softened slightly upon hearing his response.
As Irwin knew, Luna was what mattered most to her. If she discovered his machinations had harmed Luna, her reaction toward Irwin would be more catastrophic than with Cedric.
“It’s best if it’s as you say,” Natalie replied coldly.
+25 BONUS “Kayla has been discharged from the hospital,” Irwin added.
Natalie was silent as her gaze out the window became colder. novelbin “Her days by your side have been good, right?” It had been a long time of plotting…!
Irwin was silent, slightly taken aback.
From Natalie’s and Cedric’s interactions, it was evident how much she detested Kayla. After all, being Isabella’s daughter, it was a wonder Natalie showed any patience toward her at all.
Irwin took a deep breath. “I’ve never met that child.” “You’ve never met her?” Natalie repeated..
“She’s not that important to me,” he replied.
Natalie fell silent.
Irwin was indeed a complex man. Recognizing Natalie’s aversion to Kayla, he had purposefully distanced himself from the child.
While Kayla lived under his protection, the circumstances differed greatly from Cedric’s involvement.
Yet, Irwin’s explanation did little to ease Natalie’s mood.
“Promise me,” he began, “At least for the duration of our stay here, put aside your thoughts. about those ten years. Can you do that?” To both Cedric and Irwin, those ten years were a significant obstacle!
“Is it that important?” Natalie questioned.
“Otherwise, our stay might be prolonged.” “Are you threatening me?” “Nat, I can’t handle you,” Irwin admitted.
Obviously, Irwin found that he was helpless toward Natalie since she had set foot on Wexford soil.
Natali smirked coldly.
Couldn’t handle her?
He had plenty of ways to do so, such as keeping her in the dark about Casey’s findings, bringing her to the pristine snowy landscapes of Mount Elven, and ensuring she remained. isolated from the outside world!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 499-The Young Bride Returns In Simeria, the entire mountain range of Entes Mountain belonged to the Entes family. Magnificent and grand structures resembling castles dotted the landscape as far as the eye could see.
Bianca was momentarily stunned.
As someone who loved traveling and had been to many places, she had never encountered at place where the architecture itself could so vividly depict a family’s cultural heritage.
다 Before today, she had only known the Entes family through its history in Simeria, spanning centuries.
But witnessing firsthand, even just their architectural brilliance, left a profound impression.
“Let’s go,” Zane said, pulling her chilly hand as they walked deeper into the premises.
Bianca was silent. Her steps felt unsteady. Were it not for Zane holding her hand, she might have stumbled.
She had never felt nervous or fearful before. But now, there was an unsettling feeling of being unable to stand by his side.
Her mind felt blank.
“What are you thinking about?” Zane’s voice, warm yet tinged with a hint of coldness, echoed in her ears.
Bianca glanced at him and replied, “I’m thinking about the Entes family.” The Entes family? What did they look like now?
From the interactions between Malcolm and Zane over time, it was evident how significant the heirship to this family was to them.
Even from an outsider’s perspective, one could easily tell how brilliant and grand it would be to be the Entes family’s head.
“And what do you think?” The man smirked.
“I’ve heard a rumor,” Bianca began. novelbin “Tell me,” he prompted.
“I’ve heard that once the heir of the Entes family is officially recognized, the other potential heirs are supposed to relocate abroad. Is that true?” “Yes, it is,” he confirmed.
Bianca was silent.
+25 BONUS Previously, she had dismissed such rumors as mere jests. Could family dynamics truly be so stringent?
However, witnessing the grandeur of this family, Bianca began to believe that the rumors held scine truth.
How did she feel now that it was confirmed?
She couldn’t quite articulate it–it was just odd!
From the exterior, one could sense the vastness of the estate. As they walked in, they covered a considerable distance before reaching the main courtyard.
Most of the Entes family members who should have returned had done so. The journey had been quiet and solemn until Zane suddenly ushered her through a gilded gate, where the sounds of laughter and chatter hit them instantly.
Bianca remained silent.
“What’s wrong?” Zane asked as he halted, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
“Are you sure about this?” She referred to the matter of the gift. Throughout their walk, the ambiance felt very formal. Such families, in her experience, placed great emphasis on etiquette.
Zane reached out, adjusting a stray strand of hair near her ear. “I said it’s not needed. Don’t worry about it.” Alright.” If Zane said so, she would comply.
She wasn’t accustomed to the dynamics when it came to greeting the elders of a family and took her cues from him. At this moment, without even realizing it, Bianca behaved like a young bride in front of Zane.
The very people she used to disdain seemed to be unfolding right before her eyes in the Entes family members.
Zane pulled her further inside and said in a deep voice, “Remember, you’re not here to please. anyone.” Bianca was stunned, and his words seemed to freeze her momentarily.
She… wasn’t here to please anyone?
When she caught a sidelong glance at Zane, her eyes held a hint of scrutiny. Was his spirited?
The arrival of Zane and Bianca silenced the previously lively atmosphere.
All eyes turned towards them, each gaze feeling uncomfortably piercing. Then, a woman’s light laughter broke the silence.
“Oh, look who’s back! The seventh son returns! Have you finally decided to bring your little bride with you?”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 500-The Kiss As the woman spoke, she approached Zane. Her eyes carefully scanned Bianca, and the atmosphere grew tense.
In that instant, Bianca instinctively straightened her posture.
“This is my eldest sister–in–law, Yolanda Nelson,” Zane introduced casually, his tone devoid of emotion.
“Nice to meet you,” Bianca replied, maintaining her composure.
Yolanda chuckled dismissively, her demeanor clearly less than welcoming. She circled Bianca, eyes seemingly warm but carrying a different undertone.
“I didn’t expect Zane to bring you along. Here’s a token of our meeting,” Yolanda said, pulling Bianca’s wrist towards her.
Yolanda had fastened a bracelet around her wrist novelbin The next moment, Bianca gasped audibly swiftly, causing a ripple of tension in the vicinity.
“You’re quite sensitive,” Yolanda remarked, her laughter fading as she rejoined the crowd.
The stares Bianca received were now even more unsettling.
Among them, Bianca felt an intense, burning gaze.
Following its source, she locked eyes with a woman whose looks were delicate but whose expression dripped with animosity.
Since Bianca and Zane’s entrance, that animosity seemed to have amplified.
It seemed that Zane… had a strained relationship with everyone in his family!
Despite the seemingly harmonious setting, there was an underlying tension. It was clear that each individual harbored their own motives.
Bianca’s initial impression was that it was all very complex.
When she glanced at Zane, she noticed a chilling intensity in his eyes and a palpable danger emanating from him. Reacting/instinctively, Bianca tugged at his sleeve in an attempt to calm him.
Zane’s demeanor softened instantly as he looked down at her, his fierce gaze replaced by a gentle smile.
Before he could speak, a butler approached and said, “Lord Zane, you’re back. The master wishes to see you.” +25 BONUS Zane nodded, turning his attention to Bianca, She interjected before he could say anything, “Don’t worry about me. Go and attend to your matters.” “Are you sure?” Zane asked.
“Of course,” Bianca responded with a relieved smile.
Initially, she had been concerned about getting along with his family members. However, the pain in her wrist served as a stark reminder of their true nature.
With that realization, any apprehension she felt vanished instantly. Given the circumstances, interacting with the Entes family members was suddenly less stressful than she had imagined.
Zane wrapped an arm around her slender waist and planted a warm kiss on her forehead.
Bianca’s reaction was one of surprise, and the onlookers gasped in astonishment.
At that moment, Bianca could distinctly feel the fiery gaze of animosity that had been directed at her earlier change… It was as if that intense, burning stare had ignited and turned into a burning blaze!
