Ch. 81..90
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 81-Divorce Might Not Be the Best Option Cedric was growing increasingly disappointed as he looked at his mother.
She had once been a kind and caring person!
When he was young, she used to take him to the orphanage to help other children. She had adopted Christina, whom she treated like a biological daughter all these years!
“Why have you become like this?” Cedric eventually said in a tone filled with disappointment.
His shift from anger to speaking in such a disappointed tone left Rebecca stunned.
Anger had clouded her judgment. At that moment, she suddenly returned to her senses and realized what she had said in her anger.
She closed her eyes and shoved away the rage in her heart.
As expected, people shouldn’t give in to anger. When they did, they would become strangers to themselves.
She took a deep breath and said, “Ced, I understand her situation, but you can’t do this. Do you understand?” What would he do?
Would he care for her for a lifetime?!
Having a disabled daughter–in–law in the Johnson family was something she couldn’t handle.
Cedric remained silent and stared at Rebecca.
Rebecca continued, “Have you forgotten how your father and I have come this far over the years?” The Johnson family hadn’t had it easy.
After the old patriarch’s passing, how did the other branches of the family treat them?
The Johnson family’s business nearly collapsed.
Back then, Cedric was exceptionally talented. Rebecca secretly agreed to several marriages, which helped the Johnson family gain stability!
It was also during that time that she realized and enjoyed the benefits of arranged marriages.
A person only had so long to live. While finding someone to like was important, finding someone to like So, when Natalie appeared, Rebecca disliked her. And now, Isabella’s presence made her even more anxious Upon hearing his mother talk about the past, Cedric’s expression softened slightly.
The Johnson family also faced its fair share of hardships in the early years. Fortunately, they had overcome them, and now their prosperity was evident.
“Ced, I was only looking out for your best interests, you know! Life is really too long,” she continued Cedric remained silent.
“I know you like Natalie, but she… Rebecca didn’t finish her sentence.
She had said those words countless times, but each time, Cedric would react with anger!
“You need to think about it carefully. After all, you have not only yourself to consider but also us! You can’t completely disregard our feelings, Rebecca added.
fo Clearly, at this moment, she hoped that Cedric could think a little for their sake.
This time, Cedric remained silent at her words. It was a rare occasion, and Rebecca sighed in relief.
Glancing at the hospital room’s door, a hint of malice flashed in her eyes but was quickly concealed.
“Isabella appeared at your grandmother’s birthday banquet last night. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but the rumors are spreading like wild fire. They’re speculating who’s really our family’s daughter–in– law and how all of them are worse than the other!” Cedric remained silent. novelbin “Your grandmother still hasn’t eaten yet, Rebecca said in a tone filled with melancholy.
Standing from the perspective of an elderly person was always hard. They always hoped to hear that their own children were doing very well when they saw their peers. They wouldn’t want others to gloat in their faces?
It had been a long time since she had gone out for afternoon tea.
Things between Isabella and me are not what you think.” “What?” Mom, it’s not like that between me and Isabella. I hope you won’t think that way in the future,” Cedric finally said to Rebecca.
A segment of his past that was difficult for him to recall unfolded between them. It was something Cedric was least willing to mention and reluctant to remember.
The pain of that time was overwhelming. It was a sensation that was pervasive, like blood soaking into everything Cedric’s extraordinary kindness towards Isabella, the fact that she worked at his company, and all the care he showered on her had a deeper root.
It was all linked to an event from his childhood.
It was when his grandfather had just passed away.
Rebecca also remembered that event vividly. After that incident, she developed a strong sense of protectiveness toward her children, no matter how old they grew.
Shortly after his grandfather’s death, the major shareholders in the company, as well as the extended family members who held shares, all vied for control of the Johnson family.
They seized Cedric and used him as a bargaining chip to pressure his father to relinquish the inheritance rights.
Thankfully, it ended without any serious harm.
However, Rebecca also vividly remembered that Cedric had come close to death during that time, and a young boy saved him.
Later, they had wanted to express their gratitude to the boy’s family and offer compensation, but Cedric revealed that the child was an orphan.
Now, Cedric told Rebecca, “Isabella is Ivan’s younger sister!” Rebecca’s mind went blank, and she was in shock.
“What did you say?” Her eyes widened, and she tried to process his words. She was in disbelief as she stared at Cedric, Cedric continued, “I only found out about it by chance.” Rebecca asked, “But didn’t you say he was just an orphan back then?
“He has a sister, but her whereabouts were unknown. I’ve been searching for her all these years!” That was why he hadn’t shared this information with his family Rebecca was shaken to her core.
Ivan Morgan’s sister!
Who was Ivan?
To put it bluntly, Cedric wouldn’t be alive today if Ivan hadn’t existed!
The Johnson family could forget everything, but they could never forget Ivan, What was unexpected was that Isabella turned out to be Ivan’s sister!
“Ivan’s sister!” Rebecca found it hard to digest this revelation. She couldn’t immediately process the information about Isabella.
Compared to the tense turn of events happening on Cedric and Rebecca’s side, Natalie’s life remained stable, except for her impending divorce from Cedric.
It was as if nothing had happened!
She had planned to have a quick dinner with Karina, but then she received a call from Dylan. He informed her that Irwin wanted to take her out for a meal.
Consequently, Natalie couldn’t refuse.
She dropped everything and had dinner with Irwin.
“How’s the progress of your divorce with him?” Irwin asked casually, making Natalie choke on her red wine before she could swallow it.
She hadn’t expected Irwin to ask such an insensitive question.
It concerned someone else’s privacy; he shouldn’t have been interested in it. Besides, he was usually a very serious person, and asking a question like that out of the blue made Natalie think that he wasn’t as rigorous as he appeared.
Natalle took a moment to regain her composure. There was still a hint of unease on her face. “It’s in progress Though she was reluctant to discuss the matter, she held her temper, considering that Irwin was poble client.
it really so unbearable the man continued: Natalie glanced at the serious–looking man sitting across Before she could respond, Irwin added, “He’s not as bad as you might think. Divorce might not be your best option.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 82-Together with Irwin Natalie hesitated for a moment, finally grasping the reason behind Irwin’s earlier inquiry about her divorce.
But it was the subsequent statement that left her shocked.
“Are you speaking in his favor?” she asked.
Based on her understanding of their rivalry, they had always been at odds!
So, it was unexpected that Irwin would actually say something positive about Cedric, Irwin replied, “Not exactly.” Though he put it that way, his earlier comments had all been in favor of Cedric. When viewed in this light, Irwin appeared somewhat smug.
In recent times, the entire Verde City had closely followed her and Cedric’s marital situation.
Many people wanted them to divorce.
But who would have thought that the one to speak up in Cedric’s favor before her would be none other than his opponent, Irwin?!
In this context, it seemed that Cedric had been overly petty about Irwin’s previous behavior.
“My relationship with Cedric is not something others can fully understand. If it weren’t truly unbearable, why would I be willing to take this step?” Natalie’s heart was filled with anguish.
Irwin gazed at her. At that moment, he caught a glimpse of the sadness in Natalie’s eyes.
During this time, as Natalie pushed for a divorce from Cedric, she displayed a strong attitude and plenty of courage.
However, she now appeared like a woman who had shed all pretenses and completely revealed her vulnerability.
Irwin’s heart tightened. “Indeed, the two of you have been together for ten years…” Ten years a topic that had been widely discussed in Verde City during this period.
How many men and women had stopped believing in love because of them?
on ten years of being together neufficient to stop emotions from being ab No, evidently not!
Natalie stuffed a piece of beef into her mouth. It felt as though her throat had become painfully tight.
“Yes. Ten years!” She didn’t want to go through it again and end up with the same fate as her past life–dying in a massive fire, leaving nothing but charred bones.
Her despair, sadness, and even her ruthlessness ran much deeper than what outsiders saw.
Therefore, those people had no right to judge her right or wrong.
In the afternoon, Natalie and Irwin went to the construction site in the eastern suburbs. The construction was currently in urgent preparation, and Natalie was working hard on the detailed design on her end.
Throughout the afternoon, Cedric kept calling her, but Natalie didn’t pick up.
Finally, when it was time to leave work, he didn’t look for Natalie outside her office. Instead, he went to wait in front of Bianca’s door.
He waited there until evening when Bianca returned, and still, there was no sign of Natalie.
“What are you doing here?” Blanca asked, not hiding her displeasure upon seeing Cedric.
She had always considered Cedric unreliable, and the recent events had only soured her opinion of him further.
Cedric asked, “When will she be back?” He was impatient, but his tone was slightly softer compared to his previous coldness because of what happened between him and Natalie.
As Bianca took out her keys, she replied, “She doesn’t live here anymore.” As soon as she said that, she regretted it.
Cedric narrowed his eyes.
Then where does she live now?” don’t know!
Bianca realized she had made a mistake. She was too tired to conceal her emotions, but she also didn’t want to get involved with Cedric.
However, Cedric grabbed Bianca as she was opening the door.
Bianca angrily pushed Cedric away. “Step aside!” “Bianca!” “What? Are you going to threaten me again? I’m not helping her with the lawsuit anymore. You can try threatening Mr. Yancey instead.” Thinking about the time Cedric almost got her in trouble at the law firm, Bianca was furious.
The law firm had been her years of hard work, and now she was a partner. If she were really kicked out there, it would mean all her efforts had gone down the drain.
She had never been fond of these second–generation wealthy kids!
of Now, looking at Cedric, she couldn’t help but feel that these rich people who trampled on ordinary folks were nothing but trouble. Their attitude of doing whatever they pleased in a world without equality was disgusting.
Cedric didn’t know how he managed to leave Bianca’s place. His already unpleasant expression became even more dark and menacing.
He pulled his phone out and called Yuvan, who quickly answered.
“Yes, Mr. Johnson?” “Find out where she’s currently living.” Cedric’s tone was cold.
Natalie hadn’t been staying at Scarlet Villa during this period, and she had left Bianca’s place. novelbin He wanted to know where she was now.
He hadn’t wanted to think about those things, but Cedric couldn’t help but remember her reports from Overseas at this moment.
the wasn’t staying at Bianca’s place, where would she be?
The were he thought about it the darker his expression becan Yuvan acted swiftly. Soon, he relayed the information to Cedric that Natalie was now living in Elegance Bay.
In that instant, Cedric exploded.
“Elegance Bay?!” “Yes, she moved there a few days ago!” Yuvan replied.
“…Elegance Bay?!” Cedric repeated.
She had actually moved to Elegance Bay?!
Cedric was acutely aware of the enigmatic nature of Elegance Bay in Verde City.
Back in the day, even the Johnson family had failed to secure a spot there; some mysterious figure had bought it out.
But now, Natalie was residing in the very same place!
“Whose name is on the property she’s staying in?!” Cedric nearly roared as he asked this question.
The homeowners in Elegance Bay were shrouded in secrecy. So, all Yuvan had been able to confirm was that Natalie was living there.
As for the ownership of the property, he had yet to find that information.
‘T’ll look it up right away.” Cedric’s urgency caught Yuvan off guard.
After hanging up the phone, the small room was filled with Cedric’s anger.
Elegance Bay… she was living in Elegance Bay now.
She… certainly had some remarkable skills!
He closed his eyes, concealing the glint of sharpness that crossed his gaze.
Tapping on his phone, he called Natalie. At that moment, he was contemplating how to deal with her But the woman on the other end of the line never picked up the and her sped through the city, heading straight for Elegance Bay!
On the other side, it was already quite late when Natalie and Irwin left the construction site.
Irwin suggested having dinner together, but Natalie was too tired and had no desire to go out She just wanted to return home, take a shower, and get some rest. After many years of not participating in such strenuous work, the sudden workload was taking its toll on her.
Irwin asked, “Shall I drop you off? Where do you live?” Natalie declined. “No need. I live in Elegance Bay, so it’s quite far.” Elegance Bay was a considerable distance away. It took around half an hour to drive to and from, which would be a lengthy journey.
But then, to her surprise, Irwin said, “I also live in Elegance Bay.” Natalie was left speechless.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 83-Does Irwin Even Like You?
As Cedric’s car arrived at the grand and imposing entrance not far from the security booth, it became evident that Elegance Bay was truly deserving of its reputation.
Everywhere he looked was dazzling.
When the design plans for Elegance Bay were first revealed, people from all walks of life in Verde City clamored to purchase property there.
However, there were only three slots available despite its vast expanse, indicating how exclusive the buildings inside must be.
Just then, Cedric saw Irwin’s car!
The headlights cast a glow through the car window, and Natalie’s face briefly appeared.
At that moment, Cedric’s heart tightened.
Natalie and Irwin were coming back together?!
Just then, his phone vibrated.
It was Yuvan.
Cedric answered, “What is it?” “Mr. Johnson, the privacy of the Elegance Bay homeowners is well guarded. The only information I could find is that Irwin probably has a property there.” It wasn’t “probably; it was confirmed.
Irwin had returned home, and Natalie was with him.
Cedric’s knuckles turned white as he held the phone. “I got it.” He hung up the phone and immediately dialed Natalie’s number repeatedly, but the woman never picked Cedric was consumed by anger Nat alle had returned to Elegance Bay with Irwin. So, that meant that she was living with him?!
Haht She truly had some skills ought her a Bugatti, and now she was living with Irwin How did she manage it?!
After learning that Irwin lived in the innermost building, Natalie half–jokingly said, “I didn’t expect us to be neighbors.” She lived in the middle section. Although they were considered neighbors, the residents here rarely interacted. After all, they were quite far from each other.
Yes, they were in the same district, but there was still a significant distance between them.
“Go on home,” Irwin smiled indulgently.
Natalie nodded. “Okay.
“Should we go to work together tomorrow?” Irwin tentatively asked as Natalie was getting out of the car.
Natalie hesitated for a moment.
She couldn’t deny that carpooling with Irwin to work was convenient. Everything on Irwin’s side was on the way!
But thinking about the trouble she was in, she shook her head and said, “It’s fine. My assistant will pick me up.” “Alright, Irwin nodded and didn’t press the matter further.
After getting out of the car, Natalie watched as Irwin drove away. After he was out of sight, she then entered her own home.
The butler and servants welcomed her at the entrance. ‘Welcome back.” Seeing Natalie, they all respectfully bowed. The butler took her bag and coat, and Natalie nodded in acknowledgment as she entered the house.
The butler followed her and said, “The kitchen has prepared some desserts for you.” “Sounds good,” Natalie replied.
She wasn’t very hungry, but the kitchen made excellent food she loved.
Your phone has been ringing constantly, the butler said, noticing the vibrations coming from her bag Hotelin hesitated but eventually said, “Give it to me.” She didn’t really want to check her phone right now, but she thought it might be a client.
The butler handed her the phone. Natalie glanced at the number.
It was Cedric’s.
Soon, the phone went silent, indicating that he had likely reached the maximum number of calls. Glancing at the number of missed calls, she noticed he had called dozens of times!
With how persistent he was, none of her clients could get through even if they wanted to call her!
So when Cedric’s call came in again, Natalie answered in a clearly irritated tone. “What on earth are you going crazy about now?” He had kept calling relentlessly. How had she not noticed Cedric’s level of persistence before?
Well, there were instances…! Like the way he infuriated the entire Johnson family with his unwavering determination to marry her.
“Natalie…” Cedric’s voice was strained and filled with disappointment.
Most notably, there was aa sense of despair.
That particular emotion was the most prominent in his voice!
Natalie asked, “What happened?” “Come out immediately!” Natalie frowned in confusion and was silent.
“I’m at the entrance of Elegance Bay!” Natalie’s mind was buzzing when she heard that.
Cedric’s tone now resembled someone catching a cheater, as if he were struggling to suppress his anger and maintain composure.
He seemed to have found out.
Initially, Natalie hadn’t wanted him to discover her current residence in Clennon Chediday But that man was now…!
ur “If you don’t come out, I’ll make sure your name, along with Irwin’s, gets dragged through the mud in Verde City. People will be calling for your heads!” The man on the phone was infuriated and bellowed when Natalie didn’t respond.
“What do you mean?” Natalie questioned, completely baffled.
How had the matter become related to Irwin?
First, he had used Bianca to threaten her, and now Irwin?
So that was all Cedric had up his sleeves, huh?
“What do I mean? I saw everything, Natalie. How can you be so shameless? Cedric became even more incensed as he spoke.
Natalie could hear the click of a lighter on the phone, followed by the deep inhale of smoke. It was clear that he was.smoking, revealing how upset and stifled he felt.
Natalie closed her eyes and ran her fingers through her hair. When she opened them again, her frustration was unmistakable.
“I’ll be right out,” she said.
She didn’t need to contemplate the situation further. She knew what Cedric must be thinking.
He had seen her arrive in Irwin’s car.
At Elegance Bay’s entrance, Cedric exuded a chilling aura.
Natalie. Natalie…!
His world had revolved around that name for ten years, yet he had never truly understood her.
For all these years, he had never known what kind of person she was.
Now, he saw her for who she really was.
It turned out that she was..
Nataliw stepped out of her car and stood a distance away from Cedric, Then, she asked, “So? What is explanation Cedric roared He was furious!
What is it?
What did she expect him to say?!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Natalie replied, “We’re getting a divorce. Why do I need to explain anything to you?” novelbin Cedric was a man who only trusted what he saw and heard personally, whether it was regarding Isabella’s matter or Irwin’s now.
To think that Irwin had spoken well of him during dinner today!
But look at the reality!
This was the kind of person he was!
If Cedric had found Natalie to be unfamiliar, she, too, saw the man before her as a person she had never known.
Cedric sneered and said, “You want a divorce, huh?” His gaze was filled with mockery as he looked at Natalie.
“But after divorcing me, who are you planning to marry? Is it because Stephen won’t marry you, so you decided to cling to Irwin?” That was right.
No matter how well Stephen treated her, he had a wife and a daughter, and he had a harmonious family!
At his age, he wouldn’t disrupt his family.
So, was that why she was in a hurry to attach herself to Irwin?
“Does Irwin even like you?” Cedric continued.
The mockery in his eyes intensified with every word he said.
What kind of place was the Frazier family?
They were not only wealthy but also placed a great emphasis on social class and nobility!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 84-Divorce “You couldn’t even handle my family, and yet you’re trying to get into the Frazier family? Do you want to die so badly?” Natalie stared at Cedric, and a complex emotion flashed In her eyes.
Did he now consider her at fault for everything that had gone wrong within the Johnson family?
Was it her fault that his mother disliked her?
Was it her fault that the Johnson family’s people had caused her to lose her child?
Was it her fault that Christina liked him and targeted her?
Was everything her fault?
She never imagined… She never thought…!
She never dreamed that the final outcome with this man would be like this.
It may seem like he had been protecting her time and again, but deep down, he… still stood with his family!
Rebecca wasn’t the only one to view Natalie as an outsider.
Cedric had always viewed her the same way.
Natalie said mockingly, ‘So, it turns out that I worked so hard to fit into your world, and this is the result!” The smile on her face looked so icy and sardonic.
In contrast, Cedric’s anger created a stark contrast between the two of them.
“I have never made any decisions when I was with you. It turns out I was wrong!” Natalie continued.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to make decisions for herself, but…!
But what?
Wrong It was all wrong!
There was a saying that one should live life for oneself.
he didnt understand that phrase before, but now, she understood.
Ground From behind, the man said coldly, “I’ll grant your wish.” Natalie quivered slightly. Without turning back, she closed her eyes and said, “Thank you. See you at the clerk’s office tomorrow.” The two of them had reached this point, and it was time to end it.
She thought that the pain from her past life was enough. The fiery death had been painful. But at this moment, when Cedric uttered those words, she realized that the most painful thing in this world was the words that came from someone’s mouth.
Ten years… Even if she wanted it to end, there was a shocking condition attached to it.
Natalie heard Cedric say, “I want your eyes!” Natalie stood her ground, refusing to turn around. At this moment, she could hardly bring herself to see what expression Cedric wore.
He spoke with such calmness and determination, as if there had never been a ten–year–long relationship between them.
in to respond, he continued, “You can divorce me, but you’ll have to give me your Without waiting for Natalie eyes.” Natalie closed her eyes, masking the pain beneath. She thought that as long as she didn’t care about this man and tried to ignore their ten years of history, she wouldn’t feel the pain.
But at this moment, she…!
It seemed that no matter how busy she kept herself to avoid thinking about him, the pain was even more unbearable when she truly faced the moment.
It was a pain that couldn’t be alleviated.
She opened her eyes again, and in her breathtakingly beautiful face, her eyes were filled with fierceness.
Her l*ps quirked up into a cold smile as she said, “Fine,” With one word, she decisively accepted the offer.
men in the car benind novelbin shivered en trying to since she came out. He had also wird Ne At this point, he was almost ready to strangle her.
But now…!
Even if she lost her eyes, she still wanted to divorce him?!
Was he so repulsed by him?
Repulsed enough to escape even if it meant losing her sight?
Had their relationship deteriorated to such a degree?!
Anger distorted his usually exquisite features. Even his formerly artistic elements now gave off an air of menace.
“See you at the clerk’s office tomorrow morning at eight–thirty,” Natalie said and walked towards the building.
She left Cedric behind, who was brimming with anxiety.
Yet, she maintained her steady pace, and her departing figure appeared even more resolute.
Cedric watched her petite silhouette walk into the building, and his gaze grew darker.
Cedric had reached a point where he could no longer tolerate Natalie in the same way as a typical married couple.
Multiple affairs! Not just one!
No matter which man she was with, it was unacceptable to him. Seeing her trying to leave him as if there were no other choice, he couldn’t help but feel angry.
The next day, Cedric sat in the car, waiting outside the clerk’s office. Upon seeing Natalie standing at the entrance in her high–end tailored suit, he finally realized that even if she left him, she would still live a comfortable life.
However, how she secured this comfort was deeply shameful, Natalie remained indifferent as she watched Cedric get out of the car and approach her Let’s go inside the said calmly and firmly.
gized at composed demeanor, and his eyes grew even darker. This petite face had once wanted to hold he But who would have thought that the outcome they would eventually reach was this?
He took a deep breath and suppressed the heaviness in his chest.
“Natalie, I’m curious to see what kind of fate awaits you when you get involved with them. I’m very interested to know what you’ll look like when you come back to beg me.” Cedric’s words were tinged with frustration.
Irwin and Stephen weren’t exactly saints. Since she insisted on jumping into this fire pit, he would let her take the plunge and find out whether the abyss was where her heart truly belonged.
In response, Natalie cast a sidelong glance at him.
Her eyes were filled with disdain as she replied, “Don’t worry. You won’t live to see that day.” He chuckled. ‘Do you really think they’ll treat a blind person well?” A blind person?
Hah!
If there was a tiny bit of hope left for him before, this man has now personally crushed that hope!
Natalie didn’t care anymore.
She turned and walked inside. Her resolute demeanor had been consistent ever since the divorce proceedings started, At this moment, she didn’t hesitate for a second.
Faced with Natalie’s unwavering resolve, Cedric’s expression looked even worse. They filled out the necessary forms, and Natalie handed over the divorce agreement that both of them had signed.
This time, Cedric didn’t hesitate!
When the staff member reviewed their documents and saw Cedric’s name, a hint of awe appeared on his face.
Have you both thought this through?
Well Natalle answered promptly, answered as soon as the staff finished speaking. Cedric’s eyes darkened slightly He closed his eyes, trying to ignore Natalie’s impatience. But the moment he opened his mouth, his actions betrayed his emotions.
He trailed off, hesitating at this crucial moment.
Natalie looked at him, a hint of anxiety flashing in her expression. Without a doubt, she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
She wanted a divorce!
Initially, she had put this matter on hold for the time being when he disagreed.
But he had unexpectedly agreed last night.
Now, on the brink of finalizing it, what was he…?
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 85-Playing Him There was no doubt that Natalie’s greatest concern right now was Cedric’s potential change of heart!
They had been caught up in this matter for so long. She always felt powerless no matter what she did, though she didn’t used to care!
However, she couldn’t ignore the risk of public opinion turning against her if she did anything excessive while being Cedric’s wife!
Just as she was about to say something to provoke him, Cedric eventually spoke, “I’ve thought this through; we’re getting a divorce.” Although his attitude wasn’t firm enough, his determination was unmistakable at this moment.
Perhaps it was better to proceed with the divorce.
Even if they continued to stay together, it wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing.
After leaving the clerk’s office, Natalie and Cedric each held a divorce certificate.
It was quite different from the time they came to get married. Back then, they walked through that door together.
But now, the distance between them was so vast.
Who would have thought that they would end up this way?
They had been so determined to stay together then, and now they were equally committed about parting ways.
As Natalie walked towards her Bugatti, Cedric couldn’t help feeling uneasy. But after a moment’s reflection, he realized they were divorced now.
There was no longer a connection between them, and he no longer had any control over her.
She no longer needed him, and he.
Let’s go Cedric said as Natalie was about to pass him.
ned back, puzzled “Do? Go where?” Cedric’s punatic Cedric clarified, “To the hospital.” Natalie raised an eyebrow but remained silent. novelbin The hospital?
Cedric coldly said, “Don’t forget, you agreed to exchange your eyes for the divorce last night.” Since she didn’t want his love, she would have to accept his ruthlessness!
From now on, she wouldn’t receive any warmth in his world. She would only experience his cruelty, just like everyone else.
Natalie smiled. Her voice was sarcastic as she said, “I see you haven’t woken up yet!” She turned and left, leaving behind a parting comment as though speaking to a fool.
Cedric stood rooted to the spot. The air around him grew colder as time passed.
That damn woman had played him, hadn’t she?!
Yes, he had been played!
Cedric seemed to have forgotten that the current Natalie was no longer the obedient daughter–in–law of the Johnson Family, where whatever he said was the law.
Natalie was in an extremely good mood after her divorce from Cedric!
She called Bianca to let her know that they were going to celebrate today.
After all the turmoil Bianca had sat through with Natalie, the latter had finally divorced Cedric!
Blanca Immediately took a leave from work and rushed home. Natalie had already bought groceries and was waiting for her.
Have you been waiting long?” Bianca asked.
just arrived.
Blanca opened the door, and they entered the house together.
of the two of them in the kitchen cooking together was a rare one. Ever since Natalie had entire lifestyle had been governed by his world and the demands of the Johnson This newfound freedom was a first in a long time!
Bianca looked at Natalie and asked, “Why did he suddenly agree to the divorce?” Previously, he had been so firm about not wanting a divorce. He had even tried to drive Bianca out of the legal world to prevent her from meddling in Natalie’s affairs.
That was something Bianca hadn’t told Natalie.
He had been so determined to make sure Bianca had no place left in the legal field!
How could such a resolute person suddenly agree to a divorce?
Natalie replied, “He agreed to the divorce on the condition that I lend my eyes to that woman temporarily.” “What?!” Bianca was shocked.
She stared at Natalie with a mix of disbelief and fear. So, the reason for her smooth divorce was agreeing to this insane condition from Cedric?
Natalie looked at Bianca with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
“You never would have expected this, right? That he would propose such a crazy condition!” Even though Natalie had experienced it once, she still couldn’t stop her heart from hurting!
Bianca asked, “And you agreed?!” She didn’t even need to ask, the answer was clear.
Otherwise, why would she divorce him at this crucial moment?
Blanca was tempted to slap Natalie. What kind of condition was this?! How could she agree to something like that? Did she even understand the consequences of such a decision for herself?
Being blind and unable to see… What kind of pain was that?
Even just thinking about it was terrifying!
However, Natalie had agreed to it How could she?
erodded and said agreed to it.” Natalie replied, “Did you think I’d actually give it to him?” “Do you mean…?” Blanca understood what Natalie meant with just that one sentence, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Natalie had agreed but had also played Cedric, She had only agreed so that Cedric would sign the papers!
And Cedric had agreed to the divorce solely to obtain her eyes. So, looking back at his previous determination not to divorce her… it was all because of her eyes?!
Bianca wondered if there was a man more ruthless and cunning than Cedric. The word “heartless” didn’t even begin to describe his cold–heartedness.
“So, you won’t have anything to do with him now?” “We’re already divorced. Why bother with someone who’s no longer relevant?” “But will he just let it go?” “Buying and selling a living organ is illegal, don’t you know that?” Natalie looked at Bianca as if she was speaking to a simpleton.
Bianca had been overwhelmed by anger earlier.
She was a lawyer, and she knew well that this was illegal. So, forget about how Natalie had only verbally agreed. Even if she had signed a contract and later wanted to renege, Cedric couldn’t sue her.
“Of course I know. I lost my head for a moment, but isn’t that also your fault?” If Natalie had actually agreed to give Cedric her eyes for Isabella… Given how he had hurt her before, Natalie would have been the one to blame. No one in the world would have sympathized with her.
It was her own foolishness for agreeing!
The two of them prepared a feast, cooking all the groceries Natalie had bought. They then celebrated by eating and drinking heartily.
the dining room, Natalie sighed and said, it’s been a long time since I enjoyed a meal like This statement was somewhat heartbreaking Food was essential to life!
But since entering the Johnson Family, even eating had been a formalized, joyless affair. Food was consumed more as an obligation than a pleasure.
Now, she had returned to being her free and independent self. She was no longer the Johnson Family’s young mistress.
She didn’t need to be an exemplary wife for The Johnson Family anymore. Everything she did was solely on her behalf. The chains of her marriage had disappeared completely.
From now on, she was in control, and no one would dictate her life.
“Eat up,” Natalie said.
Bianca nodded and said, “You should eat too.” The two of them shared a smile, both enjoying the long–lost feeling of relaxation.
At the hospital, Rebecca once again stood outside Isabella’s hospital room.
Her attitude today was completely different from before, like she had entered a different world.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 86-Rebecca’s Transformation In the afternoon, Natalie went to her office. Karina delivered some documents to her, and after reviewing and signing them, Karina handed Natalie another document.
Natalie asked with confusion, “What’s this?” It didn’t look like studio–related paperwork!
Karina replied, “It’s from the hospital, the one you wanted.” Natalie was shocked at how quickly it had arrived. “You did it so quickly?” Karina said, “In this world, there’s nothing money can’t solve. It cost five million, but it was worth it.” F–five million?!
Natalie winced in pain. After her divorce from Cedric, she was using her own money. In a short time, she realized how hard it was to earn money.
But after looking through the documents and seeing the relevant reports inside, Natalie nodded and said, Yes, it was worth it.” A trace of determination flashed across her face.
The documents contained various reports about Isabella’s condition. There were records of transfers between parties and videos of Isabella moving freely in the hospital.
Natalie was eager to see Cedric’s reaction when he watched the videos. After all, he had gone to great. lengths to find a pair of eyes for Isabella, even suggesting his wife’s!
And now it was time for him to see the result of his efforts.
Karina asked Natalie, “What are you planning to do?” Natalie replied, “I’ll wait. I don’t have time to deal with this right now.” That was the truth.
She was currently swamped with work!
There were several projects that required her direct attention, so she didn’t have time to focus on this However, what Natalie didn’t know was that someone else was quite anxious about this situation.
In the hospital, Rebecca held Isabella’s hand with a gentle expression, her eyes filled with pity.
“Poor child,” Rebecca said.
“Aunt,” Isabella greeted the older woman.
I “Your brother gave his life to protect Cedric back then. I thought he was an orphan. I never imagined you were his sister.” Her brother… Isabella’s heart ached at the thought of her brother.
“It’s all in the past,” Isabelle said.
“Foolish child, why didn’t you tell me?” Isabella answered softly, “Cedric told me not to. He was afraid it would upset you.” The events of the past had also struck Rebecca deeply. At times, it was almost impossible for her to move on.
She knew that during that time, Cedric had nearly…!
However, those events had remained a taboo within the Johnson family over the years, and no one dared to casually mention them in front of her.
“Such foolish children, Rebecca said with a choked voice as she gently touched Isabella’s cold hand. Why aren’t you wearing warmer clothes? It’s cold!” Isabella responded quietly, “It’s not that bad.” Rebecca continued, “Don’t worry; I’ll make sure you stand up again and regain your sight.” At this moment, Rebecca’s commitment sounded even more resolute than Cedric’s.
Isabella felt a warmth in her heart. It had been a long time since she had felt this kind of warmth.
But alongside the warmth, her heart was filled with unease.
Christina was a woman with hidden agendas, and the reason Isabella hadn’t directly informed Rebecen bout her situation before was precisely because of Christing But at that time, it was already too late.
Her cooperation with Christina had been transparent, mainly because she wanted to see Natalie’s downfall. At that time, she had hardly cared about Cedric.
However, things were different now.
Therefore, Rebecca’s commitment and her sudden display of affection made Isabella’s covered eyes filled with apprehension.
“Aunt…” Isabella started but didn’t know how to continue.
Rebecca reassured her, “Don’t worry, it will happen soon.” Isabella suppressed all the words she wanted to say at this moment.
She wanted to make things clear, but how could she do that?
No, she needed to make Natalie even more miserable.
For that, Rebecca’s help was crucial!
Natalie’s divorce from Cedric had been inconsequential in her life. It was as if nothing had changed for her.
What Isabella wanted was not that!
What she desired was not Cedric but Natalie’s miserable outcome.
“Thank you,” Isabella said after her thoughts settled.
Rebecca gave her a comforting hug, determined to convey the warmth and love of a mother in this moment.
In this world, Isabella had lost almost everything. She had no living relatives, and the only remaining family she had, her brother, had died while trying to save Rebecca’s son.
Technically, I should take you in as my daughter. But Bella, you’ve caused so much trouble between you and Cedric. Now might not be the right time, Rebecca said.
She had to consider the reputation of the Johnson family. If she were to accept Isabella as her daughter this morbent, it would marely stir up controversy in Verde City, i didn’t tell you earlier becau During this period, they hadn’t paid much attention to Rebecca, as Cedric had been preoccupied with Natalie’s turmoil!
All of Rebecca’s thoughts had also been focused on Natalie.
Undoubtedly, such words comforted Rebecca and made her even more sympathetic for Isabella, who was in her arms…!
After leaving Isabella’s hospital room, Rebecca met with Isabella’s attending physician. She discovered that the doctor had already submitted his resignation, but he cautiously shared Isabella’s current condition. He also emphasized the urgent need for a live donor.
Rebecca understood the message.novelbin As soon as she left the hospital, Rebecca called Cedric.
“Come back to the manor immediately.” “I’m busy!” Rebecca’s tone turned serious as she said, “It’s about Isabella’s surgery.” Cedric was stunned and asked, “You went to the hospital again?” “Yes, hurry back!” With that, she hung up the phone.
She stood there with an air of cold determination. The flash of determination in her eyes indicated that she had made some form of decision.
An hour later, Cedric and Rebecca sat facing each other in the Johnson Manor’s pavilion.
The afternoon sun cast a warm glow, and the manor’s traditional afternoon tea was known for its exquisite quality, The two of them sat in silence for a while before Rebecca finally said, “Give Natalle her share of the property without deducting a single cent eyes filled with complex emotions as he looked at Rebecca.
It was his mother, after all.
They had accumulated a considerable amount of joint property during his marriage to Natalie. Getting her to relerit was no small feat, so there had to be some conditions attached to this!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 87-Shocking Hatred Rebecca took a deep breath and sighed.
“Let her temporarily lend her eyes to Bella. Bella can’t wait any longer!” Although Cedric had made a similar decision before, hearing these words from his own mother made him feel a tightness in his chest.
The thought of Natalie’s eyes being used for Isabella made him incredibly uneasy.
“I’ll figure out another way.” Cedric said without hesitation. He didn’t consider this option further, even though he had thought this way before.
But the vivid image of Natalie, unable to see anything, surrounded by darkness and helpless, suddenly flashed through his mind.
The sound of her hands striking objects as she felt her way around, the frustration, the fear–it all felt so real, even though it hadn’t happened.
It sounded so familiar, yet it also made his heart tighten.
It even caused an involuntary shiver down his spine.
No!
Despite all the anger and frustration he had felt towards Natalie recently, the mere thought of her being a helpless invalid brought overwhelming guilt.
He couldn’t do it.
She was a proud woman. How could she bear the thought of being disabled, needing assistance even to eat?
No, he couldn’t let her become like that; she would die…!
For some reason, that thought flashed through his mind.
Just the thought of Natalie dying caused him intense heartache, and his b*dy was drenched in cold Rebecca noticed something was off with Cedric.
wrong? Why are you sweating so much?” or wain’t hot today, and it was even a little chilly. There was n on for Cedrip to bre Cedric stared at his mother with a mix of determination and seriousness. ‘Please, put that thought out of your mind.” “What…” Rebecca was taken aback. “What’s going on with you?” “I’ll find another way.” Isabella would see again, but it wouldn’t be at Natalie’s expense.
Rebecca’s expression darkened. “Until now, you’ve been protecting that woman. Are you blind? Look at what she’s done during this time!” They were already in the midst of a divorce, and there was that foreign man!
The more Rebecca thought about it, the angrier she became.
What kind of spell did Natalie cast on her son to make him this infatuated?!
Cedric clarified, “We’re already divorced. I have no right to make demands of her anymore.
“You’ve divorce Cedric remained silent.
was taken aback.
“What about the marital property?” “We’ve already signed and notarized all the documents. It’s official.” So, there was nothing that could be changed. novelbin Cedric had always been meticulous. So why hadn’t he insisted on having Natalie sign the relevant documents after making such a request?
Ultimately… it was because he couldn’t bring himself to go through with it.
Their relationship spanned many years, and despite the hurtful words spoken recently, Cedric couldn’t stand to see Natalie lose her eyesight.
He… didn’t want to see her in a state of helplessness.
Every time Cedric faced Natalie, he struggled to align his words with his true feelings. She had the power to make him lose control and upset his emotions.
You you Rebecca’s face turned ashen with anger!
Although their marriage had ended, Rebecca couldn’t bear to see Natalie escape without facing the consequences.
She was the cause of Isabella’s suffering!
The more Rebecca thought about it, the angrier she became.
“That’s enough. We won’t discuss this further,” Cedric said, standing up and leaving.
It was clear to him that there was no point in continuing this conversation.
Rebecca closed her eyes, trembling with anger.
The mere thought of Natalie taking away so much wealth in the divorce while contributing nothing to the Johnson family over the years made Rebecca want to tear her apart!
Natalie, on the other hand, was overwhelmed with her work.
She had entrusted the process of transferring assets to Clark, who assured her that he would handle everything before returning to Simeria.
She was eager to finish her work because it felt as though the assignments were piling up in front of her, and she couldn’t afford to ignore them.
Her phone buzzed, and she noticed an unfamiliar number. However, she immediately recognized it as the same number Isabella had used to contact her previously.
Natalie answered the call. Without waiting for the person on the other end to speak, she said, “I’ve already divorced Cedric. What else do you want?” In actuality, Natalie knew this wasn’t over!
As expected, the voice on the phone sneered with disdain, “Do you think divorcing him means you’re safe? What I wanted was never him!” So, what do you want? Natalie asked.
Your eyes, your lego, your hands, everything Cedric was just the beginning Shonk Halalle could the wom Natalie instinctively asked, “Have we met before?” Even if Isabella hated her, Natalie should at least know the reason, right?
“Have we met? I’ve wanted to obliterate you since the day I knew you!” Every word was dripping with hatred. Natalie felt a chill run down her spine.
Natalie had never encountered such intense hatred in another woman before. Had this woman approached Cedric in the past for the same reason, driven by hatred?
However, Natalle was certain she didn’t know Isabella.
“Heh, is that so? Let’s see who ends up with nothing left but ashes,” Natalie retorted with a cold laugh.
She had lost to this woman in her previous life, but she wouldn’t allow herself to lose this time.
“Very well. Next up is your beloved man taking your eyes. Savor the taste of that!” Isabella declared before hanging up.
Her tone had been filled with smugness.
Natalie was left in stunned silence, trying to comprehend the situation.
She only returned to her senses when Stephen called her.
She answered the phone and struggled to hide her unease. “Hello, Uncle.” Stephen had been in various situations, and he could detect the disquiet in Natalie’s voice even over the phone.
He asked, “What’s wrong?” Natalie tried to brush it off, saying, “It’s nothing.” Even though she said that… She had been shaken by the overwhelming sense of hatred she had sensed from Isabella’s voice moments ago. She was growing increasingly curious about why Isabella harbored such deep resentment toward her!
Since she said that, Stephen changed the topic and asked, “Did Cedric never tell you about the relationship between Isabella and him?” “What do you mean?” “Isabella had a brother named Ivan Morgan. Do you know him?” “No, I don’t,” Natalie replied without hesitation.
As far as she knew, Cedric had never mentioned anyone named Ivan.
Stephen continued, “Did you know that Cedric was kidnapped as a child?” “Kidnapped?!” Cedric had been kidnapped before?!
Natalie tried to recall, but she couldn’t remember Cedric mentioning such a significant event. If he had, she would have remembered it.
“You didn’t know?” Stephen asked, surprised.
“I didn’t!” Natalie replied, her tone growing tense.
There was a hint of uncertainty on her exquisitely beautiful face. Throughout their years of marriage, she had believed she understood Cedric well.
But now…!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 88-Giving the Best to Isabella Natalie was surprised that such a significant event was something she only learned from her uncle.
Even during all these years of marriage, Cedric had never mentioned this to her. She hadn’t heard anything about it from anyone in the Johnson family either.
“This happened when he was ten years old, and he almost died,” Stephen explained.
Natalie’s heart tightened as she heard this.
No wonder Cedric had never told her about it. It wasn’t a pleasant memory, and he probably wished he could forget it forever.
“At that time, Isabella’s brother saved him. Cedric survived, but Ivan didn’t,” Stephen continued.
Natalie was taken aback.
Ivan had died?!
Was that why…?
“Nat, be careful with the Johnson family. Why don’t you come back to Simeria?” According to his analysis, the Johnson family probably still didn’t know about Isabella, except for Cedric.
He likely had been too preoccupied with Natalie’s constant arguments to find the right moment to inform the family.
Ivan had been the Johnson family’s benefactor back then. As Isabella was his only sister, the family would naturally support her. If the entire Johnson family sided with Isabella against Natalie, her situation in Verde City could become very dangerous.
Stephen was deeply concerned, so he urged Natalie to return to Simeria.
Natalie considered his advice, then took a deep breath and asked. “But how is this incident related to Isabella’s hatred for me?” She felt the intensity of Isabella’s hatred but couldn’t see the connection between it and Ivan’s past.
At the moment, we don’t have all the details. You need to come back to Simeria first, Stephen insisted.
While Natalie understood his concems, she had many ongoing commitments in Verde City. She had taken on numerous projects, and prematurely ending them would cause significant issues.
Eve accepted multiple contracts here in Verde City. Even if I were to return to Simeria, I’d have to “Well…” Stephen hesitated.
It was a complicated situation. While he had previously encouraged Natalie’s career, it wasn’t easy to halt ongoing commitments.
At the very least, Natalie had to wait until all of her current collaborations were finished before she could leave the country. Also, their work was far from something that could be wrapped up by just starting a job and signing contracts today, the longest project completion time was at least three years.
The shortest ones still require at least a year.
Natalie had a lot of commitments in Verde City for the next year, so she didn’t want to leave!
Stephen insisted. “I’ll find someone to take over your work, and you can return to Simeria now.
‘Uncle!
“Yes?” “I hope that once everything is clear… Well, you understand what I mean, right?” Why would she leave Verde City now?
To run away?
That wasn’t her style!
Stephen sighed, “Do you mean to say…?” “Uncle, do you know what Isabella has done to me or what Cedric has done?
She wanted to understand the reasons behind their actions, and she wouldn’t take these losses lying.
down!
“I understand,” Stephen responded.
Although he was concerned for Natalie, he also saw it as a test. Being the heiress to Regal Horizons International wasn’t just about having strong work capabilities.
After all, many things could happen in a person’s life.
For Natalie to be a qualified manager, she needed extensive management experience and a well– rounded lp you Stephan Stephen’s personal b*dyguard?
Natalie considered, “Do you think it’s necessary?
Natalle thought the security in Verde City was pretty good. Even those people wouldn’t….
No, they would!
Hadn’t they done so in her past life? 1 So before Stephen could respond, she changed her mind, “Actually, that’s a good idea.” Having Leon around wouldn’t hurt.
After ending the call with Stephen, Natalie’s mind was filled with thoughts of everything he had told her about the relationship between Isabella and Cedric.
It turned out that there was another layer of hidden connections!
She was also grateful that she had divorced Cedric at this time.
With Isabella’s intense hatred for her, staying married to Cedric would have caused many problems.
She spun her phone in her hand and eventually called Cedric. She hadn’t been the one to initiate contact with him much during this period.
But now… She felt that she should make the first move.
‘Hello,” Cedric’s low and hoarse voice came from the other end of the line.
Natalie said, “I want to see you.” Now?” he asked.
Yes, now.” Clearly, the man on the phone hadn’t expected Natalle to ask to meet at this time, given her recent Avoidance of him.
To the offion he replied “Alright. I’m on my way,” she said before hanging up Natalie packed the items that Karina had given her into her bag. She hesitated momentarily, thinking about Stephen’s words on the phone about Isabella’s relationship with Cedric.
It was clear to her that Isabella held a special place in his heart. It was one that no one could replace, not even Natalie, despite him loving her for ten years.
In other words, it was between love and obligation.
And during this time, he… had chosen to fulfill Ivan’s debt of gratitude all along.
When Christina returned home, she learned that Cedric and Natalie had finalized their divorce.
Of course, she was thrilled. At this point, she was ready to put an end to her hostility with Natalie.
“But in the future, treat Isabella better, okay?” Christina’s joy was short–lived as Rebecca whispered in her ear.
Christina was stunned for a moment, unable to believe her ears.
She must have been hallucinating; otherwise, why would Rebecca say such a thing?!
“Mom? W–what did you say?” She didn’t quite catch it.
Rebecca gave her a displeased look, but there was a hint of tenderness in her gaze.
Her tone was gentle as she repeated, “I said, be good to Isabella.” This time, Christina heard her clearly.
“Why?” Christina put on a completely baffled expression, hiding the storm raging inside her eyes. She kept all well hidden, but her heart was in turmoil.
Having followed Rebecca for so many years, she had a pretty good understanding of how things worked.
Isabella had quite a few tricks up her sleeve, didn’t she?!!
we had just left, and now whe had managed to win over Rebecca’s heart?!
wo determined to send labella abroad, and now she was telling Christine to This was even more cunning than what Natalie was capable of.
Damn it, she had known that woman wasn’t simple.
“Because, for our family, Isabella is the one we owe the most to. It wouldn’t be considered excessive even if we give her the best we have.” Rebecca said with a touch of melancholy in her eyes.
Christina was stunned, “Give the best to Isabella!?”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 89-Never Hesitated to Divorce “W–what’s going on? Christina nervously looked at Rebecca.
A sense of danger was flashing in her mind!
Why would Rebecca suddenly make such a request, asking Christina to treat Isabella better if nothing had happened?
Christina had been living by Rebecca’s side for many years, and she knew very well what kind of person her adoptive mother was, She was a proud and arrogant woman. If Isabella hadn’t done anything to her, Rebecca wouldn’t have changed her views so easily!
Rebecca looked at Christina and took a deep breath. When she next spoke, her voice betrayed her unease.
“She is your brother’s benefactor and… our family’s benefactor.” “Benefactor!?” Christina was taken aback.
“Yes,” Rebecca nodded.
Rebecca began recounting the events of that incident, which had haunted her for many years. Even though it had happened many years ago, it still gave her nightmares from time to time.
No matter how strong she appeared on the outside, she had her own vulnerabilities.
And Cedric…!
Cedric was her son, and the most fatal weakness she had.
Rebecca retold the story from beginning to end. The more Christina heard, the more her heart churned.
She had never expected Isabella’s brother, Ivan, to have such a deep connection with their family.
Rebecca concluded, “She’s Ivan’s only family in this world. So naturally, we have to treat her well.” Yes, you’re right…” Christina echoed with a forced smile.
But in her heart, turmoil raged, She watched Rebecca speaking with unexpected tenderness when mentioning Isabella.
het kind of person was leabella? 11 wasn’t as if Christina didn’t know!
How could Rebecca show such kindness to someone so easily?
Isabella… Christina had truly underestimated that woman!
Christina had finally managed to drive Natalie away, and now there was Isabella!
With how easily she could captivate the hearts of the Johnson family members, Christina knew she had her work cut out for her.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Isabella realized that her attending physician was missing. She tried calling him, but none of the three calls had been answered.
Just then, a nurse entered the room.
“Ms. Morgan.” “Where did my attending physician go?” Isabella asked.
“Dr. Landry is in charge now,” the nurse replied.
“What do you mean?” “Dr. Walton has resigned.” “Resigned? Isabella was surprised. She tried to hide her growing panic. She looked at the young nurse with disbelief.
The nurse nodded. “Yes, he resigned. He already stopped working here.” Upon hearing this, Isabella’s heart skipped a beat. Her complexion worsened, and she couldn’t believe it. She didn’t even know when the nurse left.
She tried calling Dr, Walton again.
Now she realized that it wasn’t because he was too busy to answer her calls, but rather… because he was avoiding her.
Hah, He truly dared to do this!
Each lime she called, there was no answer.
The moment she hung up, Christina called her.
“You really have some nerve,” Christina sarcastically said over the phot Isabella had never considered Christina to be worth her attention, but now she asked, “Was Dr. Walton resigning your doing?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “Christina, are you trying to burn your bridges?” Isabella asked sharply.
From the beginning to the end, all Christina wanted was to make Natalie and Cedric divorce.
Now that they were divorced, there was no longer any use for Isabella.
Christina sneered. “Burning bridges? Are you talking about yourself? You openly claimed that You openly claimed that you woul never be with Ced, but you’re secretly using underhanded methods to make my mother like you!” Christina understood that Elizabeth would soon learn of this matter. Once she did, Isabella would become a completely different existence within the Johnson family.
Christina had been so focused on her goal of getting Natalie out of the family. She had completely overlooked this approaching threat!
Isabella was a much more complicated person to deal with compared to Natalie!
When Natalie was part of the Johnson family, she hid from all troubles. But Isabella… she had taken all the members of the Johnson family into consideration in her plans.
If she managed to enter their ranks.
Christina didn’t dare imagine what would happen.
Christina couldn’t let that happen. She would make sure Isabella never entered the Johnson family.
“Isabella, I warned you not to think about things you shouldn’t. If you persist, don’t blame me for retaliating After her stern warning, Christina hung up the phone.
Isabella’s face turned somewhat unpleasant, and a glint of malevolence flickered in her eyes.
Unbeknownst to her, Christina was not the only threat around her. Natalle was a threat as well, and she secretly investigating her had esumed the one to blame for Dr. Walton’s resignation was Christina looked at her pitone once more. Then she In Cedric’s office, Natalie had taken the initiative to visit him. Cedric’s expression had softened somewhat, but he was still tense as he looked at the woman before him.
So what if they were divorced? She was still his!
Natalie handed him a bag, and Cedric did not immediately open it.
He asked in a somewhat unfriendly tone. “What is this?” A complex array of emotions passed through his refined features. From his perspective, Natalie had caused too many problems recently, and her actions against Isabella had disappointed him.
Now, she was pulling out documents or something of the sort, making him think she was up to something.
Was it concerning their marital property?
He had already given her an equal share.
Noticing Cedric’s inaction, Natalie said, “Go ahead, open it.” It was a big surprise!
Seeing that Cedric was still not moving, she got up and expertly slotted herself beside him. She took the CDs from the bag and inserted them into his computer. 1 Her movements were so familiar that they made his heart race. After all, she had visited this office many times before.
She had also helped him with numerous matters. Everything was so familiar, with the only change… being their relationship.
“Have you ever hesitated for a moment about divorcing me?” Cedric asked Natalie, his tone weighed down by his inner emotions.
Natalle glanced at him.
It had to be said that this man was truly tall, or perhaps she was just short.
She was standing now, yet she was only as tall as he was sitting. They looked at each other on the same Natalie struggled to see into his heart, to understand what was truly inside How could this man be so heartless?
Why had he started the fire that took her life in her previous life?
How could he be so cruel?
She had been carrying his child at the time!
Her breathing felt constricted.
“No,” she responded.
Just as he had been ruthless enough to let her die in the past, she was equally unwavering in putting.
down their ten–year relationship!
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 90-Isabella’s Disguise Exposed Natalie had answered without hesitation.
In an instant, Cedric’s eyes turned cold, and he smiled with a chilling demeanor. His features became sharp and frigid.
Just as Cedric was about to say something, Natalie had already opened the CD on the computer.
At the same moment, Cedric’s phone rang.
Faintly, the voice of an anxious nurse came from the other end, “Mr. Johnson, please come quickly! Ms.
Morgan, s–she…” “What happened to her?” Cedric yelled upon hearing it was Isabella.
In a rush, he stood up, his height causing him to almost bump into Natalie’s head.
Being so tall was really a danger to everyone around him!
Natalie looked up at the man in front of her.
Natalie couldn’t hear what else was said on the other end of the phone, but Cedric shouted, “I’m coming.
right now!” Finishing his call, he didn’t wait for Natalie to react or even grab his coat. He just headed for the door.
Natalie’s breath caught. “Wait!” “Go back for now. We’ll talk about today’s events later,” Cedric said, dismissing Natalie’s purpose for coming.
Natalie, however, didn’t want to let him leave just like that.
“I just need you to take a quick look at this… Just one look…I‘ Yes. It only took one look at the surveillance footage to see what Isabella’s condition was really like.
But Cedric kept walking, not even turning to acknowledge her plea.
At that moment, Natalie’s heart sank.
abelle was clearly incredibly important to him! it was no wonder he had done such things to her in the Stelle Cedno about to leave. Natalie ran up to him and grabbed his arm.
Cedric glared at her with a cold expression.
He looked at her as if she were an ignorant child, his patience gone!
“Let go,” Cedric said coldly.
During this time, he had never treated her kindly! He had even resorted to violence for Isabella’s sake.
But at this moment, Natalie felt that she had never seen this side of Cedric before.
Before, he had been angry.
But now, he was dangerous.
The previous hesitation about the divorce was gone by now, and Natalie felt fortunate that she had divorced him.
A man who could treat his wife like this for another woman was truly dangerous.
In her past life, he had lost his life for it!
Natalie took a deep breath and said, “Just one look.” Even though they had already reached this point, Natalie still insisted!
Yes, she wanted to expose Isabella, the woman who took her eyes in her previous life. Even with her rebirth, she wouldn’t let her off easily.
The first step was to make Cedric, whom Isabella cared about, completely understand what kind of person she was.
“Natalie!
“We’re already divorced!” Natalie remained silent.
That’s right! They were divorced.
Cedric probably thought she was intentionally bothering him now. As Natalie held onto him, she gradually let go, as if it didn’t matter at all.
In that case, you can leave, Natalie finally released her grip.
Kup to ao Cedric had been a mistake.
It was unnecessary.
Cedric looked at her and seemed as if he wanted to say something. But in the end, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he remained silent.
As the man stepped out the door, Natalie said solemnly, “You’re right. We’re already divorced!” So, the person she wanted to take revenge on was not just Isabella but also Cedric.
In her previous life, Isabella had taken her eyes, and Cedric had taken her life.
So between the two of them… Why should she be so obsessed with what Isabella meant to Cedric?
Why should she care about that?
Natalie returned to her office. She handed the CD and the documents to Karina and said, “Expose everything.” Karina asked, shocked, “Including Mr. Johnson… All of it?” Expose everything?!
Wouldn’t that have some impact on Cedric?
Wasn’t it enough for him to know who Isabella truly was?
Natalie nodded firmly, “Hah… Who does he think he is?” Natalie sneered.
Yeah, what was he? He was nothing to her!
When she remembered that he had taken her life for another woman in her past life, did she really need to cherish ten years of emotions for him?
He didn’t care about their ten–year relationship; he took her life for another woman.
So, she didn’t care about the impact of this revelation on him, Kanna frowned. After a while, she nodded and said, “Understood. I’ll handle it right away Go ahead:
“Alright.” Karina picked up her things and headed out. However, when she reached the door, she couldn’t help but stop in her tracks. She turned back and looked at Natalie.
“Do you really hate him this much now?” What Natalie was doing now was clearly aimed at destroying Cedric.
Natalie closed her eyes and pushed back the tears in her eyes. “Yes, I do!” She had only one feeling left for that man.
She truly, deeply, and intensely hated him!
Thinking back to that time, she had been so helpless. Even in her final moments, she had been focused on saving her child.
What did it feel like for a woman to lose her child?
The desperation of being unable to protect her child even when she was on the verge of life and death was more painful than having her own b*dy burned in flames.
Even in her last moments, she had held her belly. She had hoped that the fire would burn slowly, even if it meant burning her entire b*dy, just so her child could survive until the very end.
She felt pain, but her heart hurt more for her child.
If Cedric could be so ruthless, why should she worry about him so much?
Natalie had completely and truly woken up this time!
“Alright,” Karina responded and left the room.
Natalie was left alone. She closed her eyes. Her mind flashed with memories from her previous life and Cedric’s words from earlier when he said they were divorced.
She realized that she had no right to control him.
How he had insisted on not getting divorced before was now just a memory.
Now Hah Men Karina acted swiftly. Instead of going directly to an entertainment news company, she registered an account on the most popular gossip app.
She uploaded the video and included the transfer records of Isabella and the doctor, along with some images of their interactions.
In this period of time, Isabella had been associated with Natalie and Cedric. They were already hot topics in Verde City’s gossip scene.
When Karina uploaded this material, it almost instantly set social networks on fire. In just over ten minutes, the reposted data continued to rise, causing a stir throughout Verde City!
As Cedric sat in his car, Yuvan was shocked when he saw the related reports.
He looked at Cedric, who was also on his phone.
“Mr. Johnson!” Yuvan’s said in an urgent tone.
