A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 307

Chapter 307 Guardians in the Shadows 

Irwin glanced at her with a serious glint in his eyes. 

Taking her small hand again, he gently rubbed her icy fingertips. 

“Before Leon investigated Bianca, all traces of her work were erased.” 

“You knew about that too?” 

“Nat…!” 

“Irv, I told you, right?” 

“What?” 

“Withdraw the people you have around me!” 

Natalie felt very uncomfortable with such comprehensive monitoring. Even though she knew Irwin had no malicious intent, she disliked it. 

At this moment, she even expressed strong resistance. 

Irwin looked at her. In his eyes, there was a habitual indulgence. However, this kind of indulgence was so profound that it was impenetrable. 

Natalie didn’t like this feeling at all. 

Irwin said, “I’m not at ease when he’s around!” 

Irwin was referring to Cedric! 

Without waiting for Natalie to speak, Irwin continued, “Do you remember how bad the rain. was that day when you drove? Didn’t you ever wonder why you were fine? Did you think it was a coincidence?” 

“You…” 

Natalie looked at Irwin in shock, evidently unable to believe it. 

That day on the road, she could hardly see anything clearly. She could only see the car in front of her, and it was only because it had been flashing its hazard lights. 

The car was going in the same direction as her, so she followed those hazard lights until the split at Peach Garden, where the car finally left. 

She thought it was a coincidence that the car had gone to the same place as her. She also thought the person in the car had an emergency and had been using the hazard lights for 

convenience:

But now, when Irwin mentioned it, a simple sentence instantly overturned all her protests. 

“But by having someone constantly watch me like this, I…” 

“Have I ever harmed you in any way? 

“No!” 

He had never done anything like that before! 

Even so, being constantly monitored in such a comprehensive way made her uncomfortable. However, he was also constantly protecting her from danger all the time. 

It was different than when she was in Verde City 

In Verde City, he would always appear in front of her as soon as possible whenever she was in danger.. 

However, things were different here. After returning to Simeria, Irwin seemed to be overwhelmed with endless tasks. 

Even so, he still thwarted all the dangers that sought to harm her. 

“Irv…” 

Natalie took a deep breath, and her tone had softened slightly. 

Obviously, she didn’t expect this from Irwin.. 

“It’s different from when you were in Verde City. Back then, the dangers you faced were insignificant. But now, in your current position, danger can come from all directions.” 

From all directions?! 

So, her surroundings may seem calm now. But in reality, all the dangers here were more serious and complex than in Verde City. 

At this moment, Natalie looked at Irwin, unsure of what to say. 

Before she could speak, Irwin said, “That’s enough of that. I’m here today because of Ms. Sanders‘ matter. 

It was for no other reason! 

With a simple sentence, he diverted the topic away from the people he had placed around her. 

When Irwin mentioned Bianca, Natalie instantly pushed Irwin’s surveillance of her to the back of her mind. 

Her complexion had already been stormy, and it darkened even more once Bianca was mentioned

Irwin continued, “You’really can’t do anything about it!” 

“But why was she taken?!” 

Now that it was brought up, Natalie naturally wanted answers. 

Irwin glanced at her and finally said, “It’s because of her work.” 

“Her work?” 

“When she was still working in Verde City, she fought a legal battle against a woman named Faye Winters.” 

Faye Winters? 

The name sounded somewhat familiar. 

Wait, wasn’t she… 

“Wasn’t she the second young mistress of the Lloyd family?” 

remember her?” 

“Yes, she…” 

Fayee divorced the Lloyd family’s second son. Later, she supposedly jumped off a building because she lost the lawsuit. 

Natalie recalled that this incident had caused quite a stir in Verde City and was a topic of discussion for a long time. 

Suddenly, Natalie remembered! Bianca had been acting lawyer for Faye’s husband during that lawsuit! 

So, it was because of that lawsuit and Faye…?! 

“What was Faye’s relationship with Lord Malcolm?” 

Wasn’t she the second young mistress of the Lloyd family? 

Natalie was obviously shocked. Irwin looked at her and explained, “Lord Malcolm studied in Verde City for a while. Back then, he promised to marry Faye.” 

That was just… 

In the end, he didn’t return to Verde City at the agreed time due to some reasons. Faye didn’t know his true identity. After waiting for several years without seeing him, she thought she couldn’t wait any longer and got married. She never saw Lord Malcolm again. 

The more Natalie heard, the tighter her heart became.

“So, Lord Malcolm didn’t actually break his promise, did he? Something hindered him from returning at the agreed time, right?” 

“Yes.” 

Now Natalie understood everything. 

Without saying it, this was…! 

To Malcolm, Faye held the same position that Isabella held in Cedric’s heart. She was a presence that couldn’t be replaced by anything else. 

If Cedric could even throw his legally wedded wife into prison for Isabella, what would Malcolm do to Bianca, who had caused Faye to lose her life because of a lost lawsuit? 

It was no wonder…! 

Natalie now fully understood why every photo Cedric showed her was so horrifying. Those were real snapshots of Bianca in Malcolm’s hands! 

She was now…1 

The more she thought, the tighter Natalie’s heart became.
