A Divorce After My Rebirth novel Chapter 420

No matter how much Natalie had once felt protected by Irwin, the realization that his kindness had ulterior motives stirred a tempest of emotions within her.

It was almost like a raging flood that had overturned all her consciousness.

That was how Natalie felt.

Yves seemed to have been waiting in the shadows. Upon hearing Irwin's voice, he emerged from the darkness and entered the dining room.

Natalie looked at Yves, but he simply nodded at Irwin.

Before she could react...

A cold gleam flashed, and the sound of something splurting...!

Clang!

A dagger was thrown onto the dining table, gleaming ominously among the dishes.

Meanwhile, a trickle of blood stained Yves' hand, painting a vivid pattern on the marble floor.

It was a shocking sight.

Natalie was stunned. She couldn't react as she stared at Irwin silently.

Irwin casually raised his wine glass to take a sip, his eyes never leaving hers.

But his words were directed at Yves, "Well?"

"I apologize," Yves murmured with a bow.

The two men spoke with a chilling edge. Natalie had never witnessed this side of Irwin. It seemed that he was revealing his true self after the events at Wexford.

Under those seemingly gentle eyes, he concealed a chilling menace. It was as if he could become cold and ruthless instantly after smiling warmly.

Yves had been by Irwin's side for a long time. He was clearly important to him, yet...!

"What are you doing?" Natalie finally managed to speak, but her voice sounded distant. It felt like she was underwater and almost couldn't hear herself.

She was clearly shaken by Irwin's demeanor.

"Leave," Irwin commanded.

"Yes, sir."

Holding his injured arm, Yves left the room.

The staff, seemingly accustomed to such scenes, promptly attended to the aftermath. Yet, their calm only intensified Natalie's unease.

Irwin was truly terrifying!

Soon, the room was empty except for Natalie and Irwin.

Gone was the icy danger. He wore a gentle smile, looking tenderly at Natalie.

"Do you know why I punished him?"

Natalie was silent.

Obviously, Natalie didn't want to speak another word to the current Irwin!

Natalie believed that they had dropped all pretenses between them previously. So, Irwin was simply showing Natalie his true colors now.

"Because he trusted his eyes and ears too much," Irwin continued.

Natalie remained silent.

Because he trusted his eyes and ears? If one couldn't trust their own senses, who could they trust?

"Nat, you are someone worthy of respect and admiration," Irwin said as he poured himself a glass of red wine.

Natalie looked at Irwin, and her mind felt as if a strong gust of wind had swept it away.

She stared silently at him, and the coldness in her eyes... grew even more intense.

Yet, Irwin seemed completely unaffected by her frostiness.

"Once, you were just a full-time wife, doing everything to please your husband and mother-in-law."

"..."

"Who would have thought you could manage Regal Horizons International, such a large multinational corporation, so proficiently?"
