A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 417

As the person finished speaking, danger flashed in Natalie's eyes!

"Don't think that you can achieve your goals just because I'm here at Peach Garden!" Natalie hissed through gritted teeth.

On the other end of the phone, seemingly unaffected by her emotions, came a calm response, "My goals are none of your concern. Focus on securing those documents."

The person's voice dripped with menace.

Natalie wanted to slam the phone down. But recalling his earlier words, she asked with a chilling tone, "Did you have something to do with her fever?"

"Why don't you take a guess?"

"I don't appreciate this kind of comparison!" Natalie's voice grew heavier.

A faint chuckle came from the other end.

"Do you not like it, or are you lacking confidence?"

"I may not be as cunning as you, but I won't let a child be used!"

Even if she harbored resentment towards Isabella, it didn't mean she could stand by and watch Kayla or any child being ruthlessly manipulated and harmed.

"It had nothing to do with me."

"It's best if it remains that way, or else..." Natalie's voice dropped, the coldness in her eyes deepening.

A chilling, deep voice replied from the phone, "You seem to forget something. You have no right to negotiate terms with me."

Natalie was silent.

No right?

Indeed!

She had no right!

"Take a good look at your position in his heart, will you?"

Natalie remained silent.

Her position in Cedric's heart?

She had always been clear about her standing in Cedric's heart.

Before she could say more, the line went dead. Silence filled the air at that moment, but chaos engulfed her world.

Irwin... he...!

Yes, it was Irwin!

The fallout from their confrontation behind the scenes has led to the current situation.

Sitting in the dim space, Natalie's eyes shone with an icy gleam.

Irwin wanted half of the documents that were in Cedric's hands.

Frederick was currently missing!

Yet she was certain that Cedric held the other half of the documents. And this time, the reason he returned to Simeria was seemingly related to the Entes family.

To be blunt, it was also for Frederick.

Everything was in disarray!

The already chaotic situation had further deteriorated. Amidst it all, Natalie couldn't discern anything clearly.

Natalie had her own stance on matters, but Irwin...!

She had to admit that the man was mysterious. He was much more profound than anyone had realized over the years.

Bang!

The door slammed against the wall with a deafening sound. Before Natalie could react, Cedric was beside her.

He grabbed her wrist firmly and said, "Come with me!"

Natalie retorted, "What are you doing? Let go of me!"

She stumbled due to the force with which he pulled her. Anger surged within Natalie instantly.

Cedric began dragging her toward Kayla's room.

A thought struck Natalie, and her expression changed!

"Let go of me."

Cedric said, "She's seriously ill and just had a fever-reducing injection!"

"And what has that got to do with me?" Natalie erupted, summoning a sudden burst of strength to shove Cedric away.

Cedric's grasp loosened. Meeting Natalie's icy gaze, his heart seemed to hollow out.

"Nat," he uttered, a trace of concealed sorrow evident in his voice.
