A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 80 Are You Sure You Didn’t Know Her Before?

After Karina left, Natalie picked up her phone and returned Stephen’s call.

Her phone had been damaged when she threw it in Verde Biotech Ventures, so she hadn’t received his

earlier call.

Stephen was quick to answer her call.

“Uncle,” Natalie greeted.

“There’s something off about Isabella’s situation,” Stephen said instead of a greeting.

“What is it?” Natalie asked.

“You two… Are you sure you didn’t know her before?”

“I’m sure, Natalie replied.

She was certain that. Before the events of the previous lifetime, she had never met Isabella.

Therefore, she had no idea what role Isabella played in her world!

“I need to confirm this matter, Stephen stated.

“Is there a problem?” Natalie couldn’t help but ask.

“Don’t you find it strange that everything she’s been doing in Verde City seems to be aimed at you?”

Natalie was silent.

Of course it had been aimed at her.

Whether it was the kidnapping, the public opinion, or the ocular implant now, everything was a well–laid

trap.

So, she did know!

“I know she’s targeting me!”

Natalie had already realized this yesterday, especially with what Isabella said to her after the incident.

It indicated to Natalle that their relationship wasn’t as simple as it appeared.

If she only liked Cedric you getting a divorce would be enough. So why go to the trouble of getting your.

eyes? Stephen analyzed)

Stephen continued, “Everything she’s done seems like revenge against you.”

Not ‘seems like“, but “definitely“!

The actions Isabella had taken in the previous lifetime had driven Natalie to the brink of madness.

Now, when she thought about it, it was really as Stephen had described.

Natalie took a deep breath and said, “I’m certain I didn’t know her before.”

Indeed, she was absolutely sure that she hadn’t known Isabella before, whether it was during their

school

days or when she entered society.

“I understand. I’ll look into it,” Stephen replied.

He already had leads to follow. If Isabella’s actions were driven by hatred for Natalie, then they needed

to

uncover the reasons behind it.

At first glance, it might seem to be just because of one man!

But if it were really just about one man, it would have marked the end of Isabella and Natalie’s story

when Natalie’s divorce became a big deal.

But it hadn’t!

She continued to put pressure on Natalle about transplanting her eyes. There had to be a much larger

problem at the heart of it, and neither of them knew what that problem was. 1

However, the results would come soon enough!

After hanging up the call with Stephen, Natalie felt a chill run up her spine.

Isabella hated her? Why?

Because Cedric hated her?

No, that was unlikely.

She initially thought it might be because of the embarrassment she had caused Isabella at the banquet,

But now, with Stephen’s warning, Natalie realized that the situation was more complicated than she

had Thought

She took a deep breath, her face filled with contemplation and determination.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Rebecca had arrived. Isabella had been transferred from the emergency

room

back to the intensive care unit.

The doctor informed Cedric, “She needs surgery now, or she may never recover.”

“Wait a bit

Cedric replied, “Wait a bit longer.”

Never recover? Isabella would be in despair!

Cedric couldn’t bear to think about such an outcome. So, when the doctor mentioned the latter option,

he

rejected it without much thought..

“Without closing the wound soon, there’s a higher risk of infection, even with our meticulous sterilization

procedures,” the doctor explained. “Although we’ve taken great care, a wound that doesn’t heal over

time can pose a significant life–threatening risk. I hope you understand this, Mr. Johnson.”

The doctor’s tone was somber.

Cedric’s mind was buzzing with confusion.

“Just a bit longer, it’ll be soon.”

It was easy to say that.

But how easy was it to find a living donor?!

Even if it was someone close to death, their family would still be reluctant, and money wouldn’t change

their minds.

At this moment, Cedric felt enveloped by gloom.

Rebecca approached the doctor and said, “You can leave now.”

Taken aback by Rebecca’s formidable presence, the doctor complied and left the room quickly.

After the doctor left, Rebecca didn’t waste any time and got straight to the point.

“Why do you have to meddle in her affairs?” Rebecca’s frustration over Cedric’s Involvement with

Isabella

was apparent. She hoped that he would step back from the situation.

Cedric looked at her and replied, “She has to get better.”

Rebecca questioned, “Is there really a need for you to be so personally involved in this!

Rebecca had never had a high opinion of Isabella, and seeing Cedric personally involved in everything

only made her more displeased.

She wished that Cedric would stop meddling in everything right now!

However, it wasn’t that simple.

Cedric said, ‘This doesn’t concern you. You can leave!”

His tone was filled with impatience.

Rebecca was already angry and was further infuriated by Cedric’s tone. It reminded her of how he had

treated the matter with Natalie in the past.

Back then, if Rebecca said a little too much, he would also snap back at her impatiently.

She took a deep breath and demanded, “Go home right now.”

Cedric stayed silent.

“Il take care of things here!”

Rebecca’s attitude now is very firm. She wouldn’t let Cedric continue to handle this matter.

Just the thought of Amelia’s refusal over the phone made her….

Isabella absolutely couldn’t stay in Verde City any longer.

“What are you going to do?” Cedric’s voice was cold and dangerous, hearing that his mother was

taking charge.

“What’s that attitude you’re taking with me?” Rebecca asked.

“Isn’t it clear enough?” Cedric’s tone turned colder. There was a heavy air of danger surrounding him.

“What did you say?”

What wasn’t clear enough? What had she done to make him treat her this way?

Cedric yelled, “Don’t you understand that Natalie’s decision to ask for a divorce has a lot to do with

you?!”

Rebecca fell silent.

Natalie?

“We’re talking about Isabella’s situation now!”

“What about Natalie? You dealt with Natalie, so Isabella is next?”

Rebecca remained silent.

Cedric looked at his mother as if she were a stranger. He had never felt so distant from his mother. She

had been their pillar of support.

But now…!

She felt like a complete stranger.

Rebecca was seething with anger. She had raised her son with great effort. Now, for the sake of

another

woman, he was treating her like this!

She couldn’t shake off the bitter feeling in her heart.

However, the dominant emotion that surged through her was anger.

The world was full of these cunning women!

“I don’t care what you think, but I’m telling you clearly now you should stop having any contact with

Isabella!”

Cedric fell silent.

“I don’t like Natalie, and I like this blind woman even less!”

Rebecca’s attitude became equally strong.

Even though it wouldn’t change anything, she was determined to express her stance firmly at this

moment.
