A Divorce After My Rebirth

Chapter 56 She Has No Background

Cedric and her… could never return to what they once were!

And this tenderness, it was just to take away her eyes for Isabella, to tilt the balance between her and

Isabella!

Cedric was so determined to do so that he didn’t hesitate to be so gentle with Natalie again, who had

long been disappointed.

But unfortunately, Natalie couldn’t bear this kind of tenderness!

At the dinner table, there were all the dishes that Natalie liked.

“Why aren’t you eating?” Cedric looked at Natalie from across the table.

He was somewhat annoyed, but he managed to hold it in.

Natalie replied, “I’m afraid you might have poisoned the food.”

That was a brutally direct statement!

That’s right! In her previous life, she had woken up in the operating theater after having a meal with him!

How could she dare to casually have a meal with him again?

Cedric’s face changed, and he viciously stabbed the fork into the plate.

“Have you thrown enough tantrums?!”

He had always had limited patience, and Natalie’s continuous antics had clearly drained all of it.

Natalie stood up. She had a petite figure, but she still tried to assert herself as much as possible as she looked down on Cedric.

“Why do you think I’m doing it?”

He should know why she was acting this way!

So, it was okay for them to scheme against her but not for her to kick up a fuss?!

Cedric felt his temples throbbing with anger.

He wanted to say something more, but Rebecca’s gentle voice came from outside the door.

“It’s Grandma’s birthday, of course, I had to return in person!”

“You’re such a considerate girl!”

The more Rebecca talked, the lighter and happier her tone became. Natalie had never seen her like this,

and the other voice… Natalie didn’t recognize it, but Cedric did.

He subconsciously glanced at Natalie.

As he was getting up, the person from outside had already entered.

The unfamiliar woman was still talking. “It isn’t really appropriate for me to be here, right?”

Natalie was silent at the girl’s words.

At this point, she probably knew who Rebecca had brought with her.

The woman was already here, yet she acted as if she thought it was inappropriate?!

Natalie looked at Cedric, who had already stood up, with a mocking expression.

Rebecca continued to talk. “She recently moved out. Don’t worry about it. Make sure not to disappoint me

tonight, okay?”

“Don’t worry, Aunt!”

“You’re still calling me that?”

“Oh, I mean, Mom!”

“What a darling girl you are!”

Cedric’s expression was getting worse by the second.

Natalie’s mocking smile grew wider. She hadn’t even divorced Cedric yet, and Rebecca had already found his next woman.

It turned out Isabella had nothing to do with it after all!

Even though Natalie was upset about this matter, she also felt a sense of satisfaction when she thought about it.

Rebecca entered the room and was startled by what she saw.

“W–what are you guys doing here?”

Rebecca froze in her steps, and she couldn’t react for a moment Cleat

Natalie looked at Rebecca. There was no hint of any respect in her eyes for this woman–the woman she

used to try and impress with all her heart.

How ironic!

Jocelyn Lambert, the woman who had come with Rebecca, also stiffened when she saw Natalie. Jocelyn

couldn’t conceal the embarrassment on her face.

Rebecca looked at Natalie with a disdainful expression. “Why are you here? Didn’t you move out?”

“If I’m not here, how would I see your face?”

“Natalie!”

Cedric’s already unpleasant face grew worse. Now that he saw Natalie confronting his mother, he shouted angrily!

Natalie looked at Cedric with an increasingly cold look and sneered. “What? Do you still think I should

respect your mother at this point? She doesn’t deserve it!”

“Shut up!” Rebecca yelled.

Seeing Natalie and Cedric arguing, her face turned red. What right did that woman have to say such things?

Natalie looked at Rebecca and imitated Rebecca’s past unkindness towards her.

“I must have committed a grave sin in my past life to be involved in your family!”

Rebecca was so furious! She felt like she was about to faint from anger!

She had already been hospitalized twice because of Natalie’s actions during this time, and now….!

She pointed a trembling finger at Natalie and angrily said to Cedric, “Look at her! Just look! Is this what you call a good wife?! Are you going to watch her send me to an early grave by angering me?!”

The situation became chaotic for a moment.

Cedric’s headache Intensified.

He had always known that the relationship between Natalie and Rebecca was complicated, but it had

een revealed in front of him like this before.

was being turned upside down.

What the hell was going on?!

“Aunt, please calm down.” Jocelyn gracefully stepped forward and supported the trembling Rebecca, who

was furious.

She was tall and elegant, exuding an air of nobility in her every movement. Even when she was trying to calm the situation, she did so with a gentle and soothing demeanor, the typical type that high society.

families preferred.

Natalie shot her a mocking look before looking at Cedric with the same gaze.

Then, she took walked towards the door..

Watching Natalie’s departing figure, Cedric quickly grabbed her. “Wait upstairs!”

“Why are you keeping her around? Let her go! Get her out of here!” Rebecca shouted angrily.

“That’s enough!” Cedric angrily addressed Rebecca while keeping a tight grip on Natalie’s wrist.

He clearly had no intention of letting her leave!

He made to pull out his phone, but then remembered that he had thrown his phone at the bidding venue in anger and had damaged it.

Pulling Natalie along, he picked up the landline phone and made a call.

“Hello, Mr. Johnson!”

“Come over and take my mother home immediately.”

Rebecca couldn’t believe it. She knew Cedric had always protected Natalie. But she hadn’t expected him

to defend her to this extent, despite all the trouble Natalie had caused.

Thinking that her son probably wanted to tear her apart now…!

He actually had already torn her apart, just not in the way she had imagined.

Yuvan came over quickly. When he saw Jocelyn, he instantly understood what had happened.

In the end, Rebecca and Jocelyn were sent away amidst Rebecca’s anger.

Originally, Rebecca had planned for Jocelyn to spend this evening with Cedric. But they hadn’t anticipated

that Natalie would be here after moving out.

With Rebecca and Jocelyn gone, the villa became quiet.

Then, Cedric summoned everyone in the villa and said, “All of you, get out!”

The people in the room looked at each other in silence.

They clearly knew the reason for their dismissal. Rebecca had shown up with another woman tonight, and

it was obvious that she knew Natalie had moved out.

Rebecca knew Natalie wouldn’t be here, and that was why she had so boldly brought another woman to

the villa.

Natalie didn’t say a word. She didn’t care what Cedric did.

Eventually, everyone left, leaving only Natalie and Cedric.

Cedric sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

He said, “I didn’t know there were people loyal to her here, but that won’t happen again.” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Natalie approached him and took a cigarette from his pack. She lit it, imitating his manner, and took a drag, which made her cough violently.

She had inhaled too sharply, and the sensation irritated her.

Cedric looked at her, and an unusual glint passed through his eyes.

Natalie smiled and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Put it down,” Cedric said irritably.
