A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 176 Revealing the True Colors

What does it feel like to have someone practically hold one’s life in their hands?

Natalie had already thoroughly experienced it!

Back when she was struggling in the Johnson family, life was tough, But at most, it was the pain of a

wounded heart and the days of being mocked by Rebecca.

At least back then, there wasn’t much to worry about.

Now, she had her uncle, who was a strong support.

Yet, Cedric had turned his attention to her after he settled Isabella’s matters, and had managed to

reduce

her to this state!

Natalie had to admit that the feeling was truly unpleasant!

“Sit down and eat properly!”

The two stared at each other.

Natalie was full of anger! On the other hand, Cedric was smiling calmly.

But in that smile, there was a clear threat.

Natalie sat down. She picked up her knife and fork, stabbing fiercely into the food on her plate. She

ended up with a mess on her plate that looked terrible at a glance.

Cedric glanced at her and said, “There’s no need to be so angry.”

“Cedric, my uncle is not someone you can deal with as you please. Just wait and see what happens!”

“Sure, I’m waiting.”

The man didn’t take her threat seriously at all.

This made Natalie feel powerless.

Just when she was about to say something, the man’s phone rang. With just a glance, Natalie

recognized

the number.

It was… Isabella’s!

When Cedric saw the number, his expression changed.

Natalie thought he was going to answer, but instead, he flipped the phone over.

Natalie smirked, “Looks like she’s not gone forever, huh?”

‘Arrangements have been made for her. You don’t have to worry about it,” Cedric replied calmly.

“Really? Are things really settled?”

At the moment, it didn’t look like everything was sorted out.

Cedric didn’t know why Isabella was calling at this time. But since Rebecca had assured him the family

would take care of her, he had nothing to worry about.

The phone fell silent!

But just for a second, and it vibrated again.

Undoubtedly, it was Isabella calling again!

Natalie looked at Cedric. “Answer it. The little beauty seems anxious!”

“Natalie!”

This time, Cedric was annoyed.

Natalie found it amusing to watch him get frustrated over Isabella.

Everything had been arranged for her, huh?

Ultimately, they were all going in the same circle and the same world!

Her smile made Cedric somewhat uncomfortable. Angrily, he picked up the phone and walked to the

side.

to answer it!

Natalie didn’t know what words were exchanged on the line, but Cedric subconsciously glanced at

Natalie’s direction.

His expression seemed off!

Natalie could already guess what had happened.

After a minute, Cedric hung up the phone. He walked towards the dining room and looked at Natalie,

who

was still sitting in the chair.

His face was blank, but his shoulders were tensed

Natalie could sense something was amiss. This heightened perception was brought forward from her

“Are you leaving?” Natalie raised an eyebrow.

Her tone made Cedric somewhat uncomfortable, and he replied, “Why don’t you come with me!?”

“Where to?”

“Sapphire!*

Sapphire?!

Unexpectedly, Rebecca had arranged for Isabella to go to Sapphire.

However, she simply replied, “I don’t have time for that. I have an early meeting tomorrow, so I need a

good rest.”

“That’s fine. I’ll be back soon enough, probably after midnight. You don’t have to wait for me, get some

rest early!‘

He made it sound like Natalie would actually wait for him!

But this was the first time he had explained his actions since Isabella appeared.

Natalie didn’t respond.

Cedric gave her one last look and finally left.

After he was gone, Natalie remained sitting in the dining room.

The mocking smile was still on her lips.

Hah! Cedric… he was still the same!

As usual, he was gone with the wind once Isabella called him.

Until now, Natalie could still remember this happening every time. Sometimes, Isabella would call when

Cedric was having dinner with her, and sometimes, even when they were in bed.

And every time, Cedric would leave.

Isabella was determined to embarrass her, repeatedly Infuriating her in this way.

Now, Isabella was truly blinded!

She was unable to regain her sight, and could only resort to these means.

Natalie didn’t care about Cedric as a man, but isabella!

She didn’t want isabella to get comfortable with her position now Earlier, Natale didn’t want to deal with

her. But now, Isabella had slandered Natalie’s mother, and that was enson to get nd of her

She picked up her phone and dialed a number

The call was quickly answered

“Nat. Rebecca’s gentle voice came through the phone

Nat?!

Rebecca had never called her name so tenderly in the three years of mamage with Cedric

It was unexpected for Natale to receive such treatment even after their divorce

“I’m at Scarlet Villa now.”

“Oh, that’s good”

“Cedric just went out!

“Where did he go?

atalie to receive such treat

“Sapphire. He went to see Isabella Natalie said calmly

However, her deliberate calmness only served to darken Rebecca’s mood

“Okay, I got it. Fil call her right away?

“Madam Rebecca, I think you should consider it carefully I believe in the near future, the relationship

between isabella and me will be exposed”

Do you think I’ll be the only one who will be embarrassed when the time comes?”

Rebeccal’s mood turned sour at the reminder.

Without waiting for her to speak, Natalie continued. “I don’t really care I’ve gotten used to public opinion

before, but what about the Johnson family’s reputation

After all, it was a big family.

Even if Rebecca didn’t care, plenty of people in the Johnson family did

Natalie could hear Rebecca’s breathing get heavier,

“I understand. I’ll handle this matter and make sure it doesn’t get exposed!”

Rebecca absolutely couldn’t let the relationship between Natalie and Isabella be exposed. That would

only make the Johnson family look worse!

As Natalie said, she might not care, but what about Rebecca and the rest of the Johnson family?

Not caring about reputation was impossible in high society, especially when it was a blood relation that

Isabella had with Natalie!

“And one more thing.” Just as Rebecca was angrily about to hang up the phone, Natalie spoke again.

T-

“…What is it?”

“Isabella is blind. What trouble could she possibly cause? The Johnson family is providing her with

everything she needs, so what does she have to be dissatisfied about?”

“Are you suggesting someone is behind her?”

“Who knows for sure?”

nd he even likes to “Although I’m reluctant to admit it, I have to say that Cedric is an attractive man.

And he take so many chances with the Johnson family’s reputation. He’s quite daring, isn’t he?”

Rebecca’s mood was already terrible, and Natalie’s words further infuriated her.

Who exactly was scheming behind the scenes?!

After hanging up Natalie’s call, Rebecca was on the verge of smashing the phone. She had to admit

that

what Natalie said was right.

of that.

their family had provided her with more than enough. Being a smart woman, she must be aware

The Jolison family would never accept a blind person as one of their own. If she went too far, the favor

would be gone, and her life would only become more difficult

The only possibility was that there must be someone behind her.
