A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297 Two Hundred Days, Not a Day Less 

Cedric understood. 

At this critical juncture, the reason she decided to acquire Palm Pearl Inc. was undoubtedly at silent response to their relationship for the public eye. 

There was a suffocating feeling in his chest. 

“I’ll have Lucas handle the relevant documents as soon as possible,” Cedric said hoarsely. 

Apparently, he would cooperate with Natalie on the procedural issues. 

Natalie raised an eyebrow. 

When she looked at Cedric, it was clear she found his quick agreement somewhat surprising. 

In her mind, he was always one to resist, and she thought making him cooperate would require some effort. 

She didn’t expect him to comply so easily with her actions. 

Unbeknownst to Natalie, the establishment and rapid listing of Palm Pearl Inc. in Simeria was a plan Cedric had devised for her. 

The projects involved were vast and intricate…! 

He had always planned to hand the company over to her, but not… under these circumstances. 

“Aren’t you going to take that?” 

His phone was incessantly vibrating, and the name “Bella‘ was flashing on the screen. 

With that, Natalie felt his cooperation was somewhat laughable. 

Cedric only noticed his phone was vibrating when Natalie pointed it out. 

He took one glance at it and ended the call without answering it. 

However, the caller on the other end persisted and called again. 

“Nat, Bella and I…” 

Clack! 

Without waiting for Cedric to finish, Natalie opened the car door and got out, clearly uninterested in listening. 

They had nothing to do with each other. 

If it weren’t for Bianca, why would Natalie get involved with Cedric? 

So, the relationship between Cedric and Isabella meant nothing to her. She got out of the car. and turned her back on Cedric 

As Cedric watched her leave, he swallowed back all the explanations he had wanted to give her. 

“Cedric, if you have even the slightest bit of conscience, give me all the information about 

Bianca.” 

The mention of Bianca made Cedric’s heart tremble. 

At this moment, bringing up Bianca indicated to Cedric that their entanglement was solely because of Bianca. 

Would he be standing before Natalie if that weren’t the case? 

His heart shook, and the suffocating feeling in his chest intensified. When he next spoke, his tone had lost its previous gentleness and was ice–cold. 

“Nat, have you forgotten? I’m heartless. How could I have a conscience?” 

“Two hundred days, not a day less! 

As Cedric finished speaking, the powerful roar of the sports car echoed away into the distance 

Natalie stood in the rain for a long time without snapping out of her daze. 

When Lydia came out, she saw Natalie standing alone, drenched in the rain. 

She hurriedly approached Natalie and exclaimed, “Miss, what are you doing?! Madam Heather will be worried if she finds out!” 

Natalie was silent. 

When she returned to her senses, Lydia already had an umbrella over her. 

Only then did Natalie realize she had gotten quite wet. 

She looked at Lydia, whose eyes were filled with worry. 

“Miss.” 

“Let’s go inside,” Natalie said after regaining her composure. 

Once inside, Lydia quickly brought towels and prepared hot water, fearing Natalie might catch a cold. 

The maids weren’t being dramatic. Natalie had a tendency to run a high fever for several days whenever she got slightly soaked in the rain. 

Each time she fell ill, Lotus Villa would be in chaos. 

In the presidential suite of Morina Hotel, Lily observed the relevant reports on her phone with a satisfied smile. 

She said, “If the master sees this, he’ll surely be pleased!” 

“Can I see her now?” 

Isabella’s entire demeanor was cold. Apparently, she cared little about how the public would scrutinize Natalie at this point. 

Upon hearing this, Lily’s smile disappeared. Her face became serious as she looked at Isabella. “She is well by the master’s side, and he treats her very well. Don’t dwell on whether you can see her or not, alright?” 

Treats her well?! Hah! 

Of course, it sounded wonderful when worded that way! 

Isabella smiled mockingly. 

Without waiting for her to speak, Lily continued, “The master said that as long as you behave, she will be fine.” 

Lily emphasized the word ‘behave,‘ which was clearly also a warning from her master to 

Isabella. 

Isabella’s already pale face turned even paler. 

Then, Isabella asked in a hoarse voice, “Can you give me a deadline?” 

Yes, a deadline! 

She needed a time limit. 

This endless life was too exhausting! Even in the darkness, the current situation made her 

want to break free. 

In the darkness, Isabella sensed a change in Lily’s demeanor. As usual, Lily didn’t reply to this specific question. Instead, she helped Isabella up and changed her clothes. 

What are you doing?” 

Sensing Lily changing her clothes, Isabella instinctively resisted. Clearly, whenever it came to changing clothes, it meant going out. 

“You’re going to have dinner with Ms. Walker,” Lily said. 

Isabella was speechless. 

What?! 

Without waiting for her to respond, Lily continued, “She’s the deputy CEO of Regal Horizons, you know? You can’t dress too shabbily.” 

Isabella’s chest heaved heavily. 

She wished she could tear off the clothes on her body, but in the end, she could only clench 

her fists. 

Control.
