A Divorce After My Rebirth

Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Isabella’s Embarrassment

Just as Christina was about to take hold of Natalie’s wrist, Cedric pulled Natalie to his side and said,” She’ll be accompanying me to meet some people. Find someone else to go with you.”

With so many debutantes present, choosing someone she didn’t get along with was a clear indication of

Christina’s intentions.

Cedric had previously turned a blind eye. He thought Natalie could handle everything, and he believed she

had taken things well.

However, he hadn’t anticipated the mess that had been brewing behind the scenes.

Christina glanced at Cedric resentfully. In the past, this look would have gotten her anything she wanted

from him.

But now, Cedric firmly held onto Natalie and said, “Let’s go!”

His attitude was unwavering. He had no intention of giving Christina an opportunity to spend time alone

with Natalie.

At this point, Natalie understood Cedric’s intentions. He was declaring his attitude towards her in such a domineering manner, making it clear to the people of the Johnson family and everyone else.

In the past, Natalie would have been deeply moved.

But now, Isabella was standing between them.

That woman was like an insurmountable chasm that forever separated them.

The banquet had already been filled with various speculations and comments.

However, when Isabella appeared, the guests‘ attitude shifted again.

Jocelyn had been chosen as Rebecca’s future daughter–in–law. But Isabella had a special status, as she had been involved with Cedric for some time.

However, Cedric had brought Natalie tonight.

Yet, he had also allowed Isabella to attend.

What did this mean?!

Cedric was still holding her, and Natalie looked at him with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

“I’ll explain this to you later,” Cedric said in a somewhat unpleasant tone.

He had intended to discuss this with her in the car but had been too angry to say anything when she

provoked him.

Now, the look in her eyes was quite unsettling. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Why was she looking at him like that?!

Natalie forcefully removed his hand from her waist. She was petite and not particularly strong.

But at this moment, she sent shivers down his spine.

“Natalie,” Cedric uttered in a low, warning tone.

It implied that she shouldn’t cause trouble today.

Natalie gave him an icy look and replied, “As I said, whether I cause trouble or not depends on your

attitude!”

If he couldn’t please her, he shouldn’t expect her to put on a pleasant face for him!

Didn’t he realize that by bringing her to this place tonight and allowing Isabella to appear as well, he had

utterly embarrassed her?

Yes, all Natalie felt at the moment was embarrassment!

She overheard the hushed conversations of the guests: ‘How generous must the Johnson family’s young mistress be to allow this mistress to appear in such an important setting?”

Indeed, a mistress!

Despite all the public opinion supporting Isabella, the fact remained: she was the pitiable mistress.

No matter how good she was, the label of mistress had never truly left her.

“Exactly! Mr. Johnson is truly unique. He has a wife at home, but he also has plenty of affairs outside!”

“She’s such a low–born woman that even her husband looks down on her. Look at this! She even allowed the mistress to appear alongside her. I wonder if they’ll spend the night together as a

threesome!”

The discussions became increasingly hurtful.

When Rebecca saw Isabella, she was furious. She was already infuriated by Natalie’s presence, and now Isabella had arrived too.

What the hell was going on?!

“What exactly are you doing? Rebecca demanded, coming to Cedric’s side.

“Those with a clear conscience need not fear the shadow of others,” Cedric replied confidently.

Rebecca retorted, “Are you trying to send me to an early grave?!”

Cedric had straightened up to appear upright and dignified. But to be respectable in everyone’s eyes was

what truly mattered!

Did he even hear what the people around them were saying?!

Rebecca was growing angrier the more she thought about it.

“Hurry up and have her escorted out!”

Rebecca couldn’t stand it any longer. No one could gauge the extent of her current restraint, but the moment the banquet was over, an eruption was imminent.

Compared to everyone else with their hidden agendas, Isabella sat calmly in her wheelchair with her eyes covered by a white cloth.

Her long hair made her look innocent and pitiable. She possessed an impressive demeanor, and she had a pristine appearance.

It was no wonder when the photos of her terrible condition were exposed, the internet rallied against Natalie. It showed that sometimes people’s values followed their judgment of looks.

Isabella smiled and said in a soft and gentle voice, “Yuvan.”

“Yes, Ms. Morgan.”

“Could I get something to eat?”

Her voice was enchanting.

Yuvan was currently under immense pressure! He truly had a thankless task tonight!

Whether it was Isabella, Elizabeth, or Natalie, his future looked increasingly challenging.

He couldn’t fathom why Cedric had allowed Isabella to attend the birthday celebration.

Amidst all the whispers, Isabella’s l*ps formed a knowing smile. Yuvan began pushing her towards the

Midway there, he saw Natalie’s petite figure approaching them. Her presence captured everyone’s

attention.

Rebecca ordered, “Natalie, you stop right there!”

Although Rebecca was also upset, she wouldn’t tolerate Natalie’s tantrums. Especially with the presence

of the Lambert family!

If Natalie’s reputation took a hit, so would Jocelyn’s.

Originally, Jocelyn was by Rebecca’s side, and everyone had treated her with respect. Everyone had

assumed she was the future young mistress of the Johnson family.

Now, not only had Natalie appeared, but Isabella was here too!

Such a situation was incredibly awkward for her.

Henry was so angry that he left in a huff while his wife, Amelia Thompson, followed with an unpleasant

expression.

Cedric had been distracted for a moment. By the time he noticed, it was too late to stop Natalie from approaching Isabella.

“Ms. Morgan, I’m not sure in what capacity you’ve come here, but I can tell you clearly that the Johnson family doesn’t welcome you!”

Rebecca winced. Her head was throbbing…!

Isabella’s face turned pale. Her l*ps trembled as though she had a hard time speaking. She made it appear as though Natalie was bullying her.

Natalie continued, “You don’t need to put on this act here. Many people are watching. I haven’t done anything to you. I’m merely standing here as Cedric’s wife and informing you that you don’t belong here.”

“Natalie, shut up!” Cedric approached and tried to lead Natalie away.

Natalie turned back to look at him, her eyes filled with cold determination. She uttered two words, “We’re divorcing.”

The whole room erupted!

Earlier, it had been rumored that Natalie had initiated the divorce. She had even signed the divorce agreement!

Back then, people had been skeptical and uncertain despite all the turmoil. After all, the Johnson family was a prestigious household that many women aspired to enter.

Why would she willingly divorce?

Now, the entire audience watched as she resolutely declared her intent to divorce Cedric.

Meanwhile, Cedric stood frozen as if the world had stopped.

Despite her previous outbursts, he never felt like this before.

But now…!
