A Divorce After My Rebirth

Chapter 29 Expert in Arguing

Bianca and Natalie didn’t inquire further. As they walked out of the police station, the air around Natalie

was cold.

Bianca hurried to catch up, grabbing her wrist. “Nat.”

“I’m fine,” she said, but a storm was raging inside.

Why did Cedric ball those people out? In the past, regardless of who tried to harm Natalie, he would never show them any leniency. However, this time, he had protected the very people who had sent her threatening letters, razor blades, and animal carcasses, as well as cursed her constantly on social media.

“What is Cedric’s intention?” Bianca wondered.

“Christina and Isabella probably bribed those people,” Natalie said, her voice trembling with anger.

Bianca’s temper flared instantly. “What is he thinking?”

What was he thinking? Natalie didn’t know.

During her absence over these three months, who knew what had happened? She thought that her

departure would have allowed the situation from her previous life to cool down, but new developments

had her…

Bianca was fuming. “I’ll make sure you win your divorce case. What the hell is wrong with that scumbag?!

Those people could have killed you, yet he bailed them out!”

Natalie stood in the sunlight. Her delicate face was now pale, and her l*ps moved slightly. However, she

didn’t know what to say.

What was ten years? In the end, this was how Cedric treated her!

Natalie wasn’t sure how she ended up back at Bianca’s place. Bianca had gone to work. Before parting, she offered to order food for her at lunch, but Natalie declined, insisting on cooking for herself.

Oink, oink.

There were faint sounds from the little pig at her feet. She lowered her gaze to see Ginger nudging her Sl*ppers, its round b*dy looking well–fed. It seemed that Zoe had taken excellent care of it while Natalie was abroad. When she left Scarlet Villa, she took nothing with her except this pig!

Bending down, she picked up the small creature and cuddled it in her arms. She patted its head.

“Are you hungry? You’ll be on a journey with me from now on.”

The little pig had no understanding of the unfamiliar environment. A pig was just a pig; it slept and ate,

and ate and slept.

Cedric had given her this pig during one of his business trips. He feared she’d be bored at home since he

didn’t want her to work.

But was she really bored?

No!

Whenever he wasn’t around, Rebecca always found various ways to torment her.

Bzz! Bzz!

Natalie’s phone v

vibrated, interrupting her thoughts. She checked it to see Cedric calling. Not wanting to answer, she hung up immediately. He called again a few times in quick succession, causing Natalie to

eventually lose her patience and answer it. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“What do you want?”

“Come down,” Cedric ordered.

Natalie was speechless. He was downstairs?! Calculating the time, they had only been apart for less than

two hours.

“Right now!”

She hadn’t wanted to see this man, but thinking about the results they received at the police station

today, she also wanted to confront him about it. Though, she had a pretty good idea of why he had done

1. it. People’s hearts could be strangely perverse, after all. She didn’t want to believe what she had

concluded and needed a definite answer.

When she saw the frostiness on Cedric’s face, Natalie’s mood didn’t improve.

She stood next to the car door and said icily, “I have something to ask you.”

“Let’s go back for lunch first,” Cedric said, glancing at his watch.

It was already lunchtime.

Natalie immediately replied, “I won’t return to Scarlet Villa.”

“What do you mean? Are you leaving home? Is this the kind of person you are now?” Cedric’s tone was unsteady

Natalie leaving home was not a good thing. In a big

watching. If Natalie left home like this, it could be reported tomorrow.

Over these past few months, the public had been constantly discussing the Johnson family. Although everything had been resolved in the end, there were still some lingering effects from the public opinion

itself.

Who didn’t want a peaceful life?

Knowing what was going through Cedric’s mind, Natalie retorted, “Oh, now you’re ashamed? Back when you were involved with that woman, didn’t your family find it embarrassing?!”

“Natalie, must you speak like this?” Cedric felt a throbbing in his head.

Natalie didn’t bother to look at him.

“How should I speak? You pushed the blame from your affair with that woman to me, and I didn’t say at

word. Yet you’re acting all high and mighty now, huh?”

Thinking of the attacks she had endured from the public three months ago, Natalie was even less inclined

to be polite with Cedric.

Cedric’s brow twitched angrily. He had originally come to pick her up, but now…!

When it came to the online harassment, Natalie didn’t hold back her disdain and questioned Cedric.

“By the way, I went to the police station today. If I hadn’t gone, I wouldn’t have known that you bailed those people out. You’re my husband, right? What kind of act are you putting on?”

As she mentioned the online harassers, Cedric’s gaze turned cold. Without discussing this matter, he had almost forgotten it.

“Do you still have the nerve to ask me what kind of act I’m putting on? Why don’t you give me a reasonable explanation for your role in this matter?”

“Give you

you an explanation? Are you insane?”

Natalie was livid, Cedric’s face was filled with repressed anger.

“Every one of those people had records of transfers from your bank account, Natalie. Can you tell me why?” asked Cedric.

Natalie was speechless.

Records of transfers from her bank account? The card that she had previously had money transferred in?

“So, you’re saying I should thank you? Thank you for going to great lengths to cover this up for me?”

From this perspective, she had underestimated those people. However, this only confirmed Natalie’s suspicion that they had bought the instigators of the violence.

As Cedric looked at her, the disappointment in his eyes became increasingly difficult to conceal. Natalie closed her eyes, turned around, and walked away.

Cedric called out from behind her, his voice filled with rage, “Stop!”

“Did you need something else?” Natalie’s tone W

“Mom has woken up and wants to see you.”

icy, devoid of any warmth.

Rebecca wanted to see her? Of course she did. The older woman probably wanted to tear her apart. If

she couldn’t vent her anger on Natalie, she might explode.

“I won’t go,” Natalie said.

Without waiting for Cedric’s response, she walked away.

Cedric sat in the car, watching Natalie’s retreating figure. His face grew darker, and the gloom in his eyes deepened.

She had completely changed. She refused to go to the hospital to apologize to Isabella, and hadn’t visited her mother during her hospitalization even once. Was it all for the sake of that foreign man?

Well, she could try to escape him and be with that man abroad, but she needed his approval for that!

Cedric returned to his office, the air around him cold and oppressive. Before he could even sit down, he received a call from the hospital.

“What is it?”

It’s unclear what was said on the other end of the call, but it visibly altered his already bad mood. He quickly said, “I’ll be there immediately.
