A Divorce After My Rebirth

Chapter 41

Chapter 41 A Change of Title

Natalie shook her head and said, “He gave me three days to submit the design before they finish work on the 14th, but I can tell that it’s not just us who got this opportunity at Apex.”

“Definitely not just us; you probably don’t know how important the eastern suburbs are for Verde City’s GDP. It’s impossible for them to rely on us alone.”

Before coming here, Karina had thoroughly investigated Apex Global and had some idea of what kind of projects they might get

But she never expected it to be the eastern suburbs project.

“It looks like we’ll be busy for the next few days.”

“Yeah. Let’s go check the site first,” Natalie said.

In any case, they had to see the site first to find some inspiration.

In the car, Natalie’s phone rang.

It was Rebecca calling.

Natalie didn’t want to answer and just hung up. Shortly after, the phone rang again.

This time, it was a call from the Johnson Manor’s landline.

“Go ahead,” Karina said to Natalie and added, “You shouldn’t stay on the line too long.”

Natalie was momentarily stunned, realizing that she was no longer a full–time housewife at home. She

had a career now. After meeting two clients yesterday, she had received four calls from them. It was all

about confirming various details.

With that in mind, she answered the call, “Hello, Ms. Carter.”

Ms. Carter!?

On the other end of the line, Rebecca clearly didn’t know how to react to this new title.

“You’re in such a hurry to cut ties with the Johnson family when you haven’t even divorced Ced yet? It seems like you really like that man who’s old enough to be your father!”

“Isn’t that what you wanted? Why are you acting all high and mighty now?”

“Even if you divorced, it’ll be because my son doesn’t want you anymore! You’re not worth it, Natalie!”

“It doesn’t matter. I already initiated the divorce. If you’re not satisfied, I can withdraw the lawsuit

immediately. You want your son to initiate it first? Fine. I’ll sign the papers without any hassle, no strings.

attached.”

*Are you implying that my son is bothering you?”

“Yes!”

“You…!”

Rebecca’s breathing was heavy as she grew angrier.

Natalie knew she had clearly angered Rebecca, But at this point, Rebecca’s emotions and physical well-

being were no longer Natalie’s concern.

In her past life, Natalie didn’t fully understand. Now, she finally grasped that when one deeply loved

someone, one had to accept everything about them.

However, when that love was gone, nothing would matter anymore.

For Natalie, Cedric had become just that–a past love.

She had given up on him, and her attitude towards the people around him had become remarkably resolute, leaving them no room to react.

“You… You…! You need to come back to the manor immediately!” Rebecca commanded furiously.

Natalie retorted, “You can say what you want over the phone. There’s no difference.”

“I can’t explain over the phone. Unless you want to hear rumors of you killing me, you’d better come back!

Without a second thought, Natalie hung up the phone.

So, Rebecca was resorting to threats? Had she lost her mind? Or was she simply this desperate?

Natalie wasn’t buying it.

Natalie needed the world to know about her current situation. She was aware that people were watching

her and Cedric closely.

The more they wanted to manipulate public opinion and pressure her using their relationship, the more

she wanted to show them where she stood.

“Of course,” Karina replied.

Initially, Stephen had been concerned that Natalie might not be able to handle the pressure. Even with Stephen’s protection, he was worried for her as the Johnson family had significant influence and power in Verde City.

Stephen was also afraid that Natalie might be overwhelmed and disoriented. However, it was clear now. that there was no need for such concern. Natalie seemed to be calm and organized about this matter.

She picked up her phone and scrolled through the news. There was a new headline.

[The Johnson family’s young mistress injured someone using underhanded means. She refused to apologize and escaped legal consequences. Is this how we leave the powerful unchecked…]

She finally understood why Rebecca had insisted on her returning to the Johnson Manor.

“They just won’t quit, will they?” Natalie smirked.

It appeared that if she didn’t fight back, these people would continue to see her as an easy target.

Natalie called Stephen, disregarding the fact that it was night on his end.

When he answered, his tone was somewhat lazy, “Nat?”

“Sorry, I forgot it’s night there,” Natalie apologized with a hint of regret in her tone.

Even though she didn’t care much for what was happening, she still felt somewhat affected by what those people were doing.

“Don’t worry about it. What’s the matter?”

Stephen understood that Natalie wouldn’t call him unless she were facing an issue she couldn’t handle on her own

Natalie took a deep breath and said, “Cedric bailed out the people who were stirring up public opinion. I don’t know why, but I’m sure it’s connected to Isabella.”

Stephen was speechless.

Salihone we pain nudekly find

This matter needed to be resolved promptly.

All of Cedric’s emotional turmoil now revolved around Isabella’s eyes

and legs. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Natalie couldn’t understand why Isabella had chosen such an extreme way to divorce her and Cedric.

It seemed like a purely idiotic method!

But she also felt that it was impossible for a woman not to care about disabilities or blindness, even if

they truly loved a man.

“Alright, I understand,” Stephen responded.

He promised to work on it so that this matter would be resolved quickly.

At the Johnson Manor, Rebecca had just returned from the hospital today.

She never expected to come back and be met with such shocking news. She was absolutely livid, and her

face was red with anger.

“What sins have our family committed?”

“How did we end up with a woman like this in our family? What a true misfortune this is!”

The more she spoke, the angrier she became.

Christina was always by Rebecca’s side, accompanying her no matter when she needed support. This made Rebecca feel particularly close to her.

Right now, it was the same.

Christina comforted her and said, “Mom, don’t be angry.”

“How can I not? Did you know about this?” Rebecca demanded.

“Yes, Christina nodded. “Cedric asked her to apologize to Isabella. Isabella is a very kind girl, you know?

She has evidence of Natalie bribing the kidnappers. She didn’t ask for much, just an apology.”

“Only an apology? Rebecca looked at Christina with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Isabella’s injuries were extensive. She was blind and unable to walk.

Yet, all she asked for was an apology?

Even though Rebecca wanted Isabella to cause a fuss, this matter was still related to the Johnson

family’s reputation.

Initially, Rebecca was discontented. But after hearing what Christina said, she suddenly felt that Isabella

was quite a sensible woman.

“It’s probably also because she’s considering Ced’s reputation,” Christina explained, which made sense.
