A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300 A Slap on the Man’s Face 

Upon Lydia’s remarks, the coldness in Natalie’s eyes dissipated and was replaced by calmness. 

Was this what the person behind Isabella wanted? 

The person in the shadows…! 

After tonight’s encounter, Natalie was almost certain of it–Stephen’s previous speculation 

was correct. 

Isabella had someone backing her. 

With this thought in mind, Natalie picked up her phone and called Leon. 

He answered promptly, “Yes, Miss?” 

“Just make sure Cedric sees what I mean.” 

She implied that there was no need for real force, but she wanted Cedric to learn a lesson. 

It was a restless night for Natalie. 

Early the next morning, Stephen saw Natalie at the breakfast table in Lotus Villa and was somewhat surprised. 

“I thought you wouldn’t be back anytime soon.” 

Natalie looked at Stephen and said, “You previously mentioned that Isabella had ulterior motives in approaching Cedric and me, right?” 

“Why bring this up all of a sudden?” 

“I think you’re right. I could feel it,” Natalie said. 

Stephen was silent. 

Natalie could feel it? 

Stephen looked at her, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. 

He had to admit that Natalie had gained quite a bit of experience in the two years she had been at Regal Horizons International. 

No one knew the intensity of her work over these two years, and no one knew how many people she had met Moreover, no one knew that every time she met these people, she had to accurately analyze what kind of person they were and what kind of collaboration would be 

able for thein

She couldn’t afford to be simple and naive when standing in such a position. 

So, she could now grasp a sense of many things that she couldn’t two years ago. 

Stephen sighed, which left Natalie puzzled! 

“Uncle?” 

“I’m still confirming Cedric’s background right now. Once I’m done with that, I’ll be able to determine who’s backing Isabella.” 

“Cedric’s… 

“Do you still think he’s the same man you used to know back then? You recall that he effortlessly escaped from Verde City prison, right?” 

Natalie was stunned. 

Obviously, Cedric wasn’t the same man she used to know! 

She had already discovered that Cedric could have easily left Verde City two years ago, but he had stayed in prison because he just chose to give up everything. 

When Dylan and Zane investigated the evidence, any action from him, no matter how small, would have disrupted their smooth progress. 

As the saying goes, there was no greater sadness than heartbreak. 

It seemed that this saying also applied to a man like Cedric. 

Natalie’s expression darkened, and Stephen continued, “I’m sure you know he could have easily left Verde City two years ago. 

“He came out of prison because of you!” 

Otherwise, they would have believed Cedric was genuinely subdued. 

Cedric had come out of prison so quickly because he received news that Natalie was alive. 

Natalie’s complexion wasn’t great. Clearly, she never liked others associating her with Cedric. “Uncle-” 

“Simeria is not as simple as you think it is now. Be cautious in some of the upcoming projects, Stephen interrupted with a deep tone, making Natalie sense the complexity of the situation. Nodding, she replied, “I understand.” 

f her uncle warned her to be cautious, she would naturally pay more attention

Returning to the topic of Cedric, Stephen looked at her more seriously and said, “Nat, your need to figure things out between you two.” 

Figure things out? Between her and Cedric? 

Clearly, the things between them had become too tangled to unravel. 

It wasn’t like she wanted to…! 

“I know you don’t want to get involved with him any further. But even if you don’t, you must understand the truth behind it.” 

“Is it really important?” 

Natalie wasn’t too fond of this idea. 

“What if the fact that you two got together was also part of a scheme?” Stephen asked. 

At his words, Natalie’s expression instantly changed. 

Isabella inserting herself between her and Cedric might have been a scheme. 

Now, her uncle was suggesting that her relationship with Cedric might also be part of a scheme?! 

How was that possible?! 

“Uncle…?” Natalie’s voice tightened. 

If Stephen’s speculation was correct, then the situation between her and Cedric was even more terrifying than she thought. 

Stephen took a sip of his drink and said, “Let’s hope I’m just overthinking things. But at the moment, it doesn’t seem so.” 

If his speculation was true, then the person behind everything was indeed extraordinary. 

They already confirmed that Isabella had someone backing her. 

However, who that person was, and their intentions remained unclear. 

This was also the reason why Stephen wanted to figure things out. 

Natalie didn’t know how she got out of Lotus Villa, and her complexion was not good. 

Just as she was about to get into Leon’s car, she saw Cedric standing by a nearby car in a black windbreaker. There was an air of nobility and aloofness around him.
