A Divorce After My Rebirth
Chapter 265

Chapter 265 Estrangement

In the dark world, moving to a new place is one of the most feared things. Every time one went to a

new place, it would be a lengthy process of adaptation.

After two years, Isabella had become familiar with her surroundings. So, hearing about

moving to a new place triggered strong resistance.

Lily’s tone turned colder, and she said, “The master said you’ll be living in Simeria for a very long time.”

Simeria?!

Isabella was not unfamiliar with the place; it was Natalie’s uncle’s territory!

Thinking of Natalie, Isabella’s face turned pale. The initial resistance in her heart transformed into a

strong aversion!

“Can I not go?”

Any other place would be fine.

But going to a territory belonging to Natalie, she…!

“She’s still alive!”

At that moment, Lily’s voice became ice–cold.

Isabella remained silent, and the world seemed to pause for a moment. She couldn’t help but

shudder.

She naturally knew who Lily was referring to.

But how could she still be alive?

Before Isabella could speak, Lily continued, “Mr. Johnson, who has been reluctant to come out of

prison, has finally left!”

Isabella’s already pale face turned even whiter upon hearing these words.

She was alive! And Cedric went to replace her?

Two years…!

Up until now, Isabella remembered how she had begged and pleaded with him. She had even knelt

before him, desperately asking him to let Cedric go.

But the final answer she received was that Cedric himself didn’t want to come out.

Cedric was punishing himself.

Cedric knew everything. He realized it had been Christina all along and acknowledged that he had

wrongly accused Natalie. So, he decided to endure the punishment he deserved.

In the two years, she had sought him out, but he always avoided her. Now, he finally emerged, and his

first destination was Simeria?!

Then what was she to him? What about all those promises he made to her? What did they mean now?

“In that case, do you still want to stay here?” Lily looked at Isabella and asked slowly.

Isabella tightly pursed her thin lips, clenched her fists, and trembled all over.

Alive…

Natalie was still alive!

What the hell was that woman made of?

Even in such a state, she refused to die?!

After Natalie’s death… Isabella had already let go of everything. Tthe overwhelming hatred. that had

consumed her had been laid to rest with Natalie’s death.

But who would have thought that Natalie was still alive?

Isabella’s heart felt like a storm had been unleashed within it. The violent winds swept through,

throwing her world into chaos.

For a long, long time, everything remained chaotic.

Then gradually, everything returned to being calm.

Just when Lily thought Isabella would erupt in a furious confrontation as she did before, Isabella calmly

said, “In the grand scheme of things, she’s the one who managed to cling to

life!”

“I won’t go!”

Indeed, Natalie had experienced death once before.

Everything Natalie’s mother had done to Isabella’s mother…

Natalie had already paid the price for it after going through everything she did.

Even if Natalie managed to survive, she couldn’t be in a much better state than Isabella, right?

The massive fire had drawn all the firefighting trucks in the city, indicating the uncontrollable intensity of

the blaze. To survive in such circumstances undoubtedly meant enduring

Hearing this, Lily’s eyes flickered with a dangerous sharpness. She mocked, “You can let go, but the

master won’t agree!”

Master!

The momen Isabella heard these words, her face turned even paler.

“You won’t be able to bear seeing that child…”

“Enough!”

Isabella harshly interrupted Lily before she could finish her sentence. Her trembling body became even

colder, and it was as if the blood in her veins had turned to ice.

“I… will go!”

With those words, Lily’s dangerously sharp expression transformed into a gentle smile.

“That’s how it should have been from the start. The master will be pleased with your

obedience!”

Isabella’s clenched fists whitened upon hearing Lily’s words.

On Natalie’s side, she ultimately didn’t meet the fifth young master of the Entes family.

Instead, she had dinner with Irwin.

Every time she dined with Irwin, he was always very considerate. As usual, he cut her steak for her and

said, “Here, try this. How does it taste today?.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Natalie took it, and her movements were skillful and elegant, despite her petite stature.

The gaze in Irwin’s eyes as he watched her was not only warm but also profound.

Both Natalie and Irwin tacitly avoided mentioning Cedric.

“Hmm… it tastes quite good today,” Natalie said to Irwin.

Every time Irwin took her out to dinner, this man never failed to impress her. He always effortlessly

chose the foods she liked.

Over the past two years, it seemed like he understood her better than she understood herself.

Irwin glanced at her and asked, “I heard the fifth son of the Entes family invited you out?”

“Yen. He wanted to discuss some business matte” Natalie responded casually.

“He’s an impatient person. Don’t blame him,” Irwin remarked.

Natalie raised an eyebrow, “From what you’re saying, it seems like you have a good relationship with

him.”

“Yeah,” Irwin raised his glass of red wine and took a sip.

Natalie was momentarily taken aback. She always knew that Irwin was a formidable presence in

Simeria, and the differences between Verde City and Simeria were evident.

Clearly, Irwin had concealed a lot about himself during their time in Verde City–the master behind the

Maple Peak, the relationship with the Entes family, and many other things remained unknown to

Natalie.

In any case, he was far from a simple man!

“We’ve fecently collaborated on a project with the Entes family,” Natalie mentioned.

The fifth son of the family approaching her was likely related to this project. However, Natalie never

liked hastily arranged dinner meetings, especially when they involved discussing business over drinks.

To handle such social engagements, she had specifically established a project department to handle

them. She rarely attended such dinner meetings in person.

So, the sudden dinner invitation from the fifth son of the Entes family today caught Natalie off guard!

After all, she had to let others get used to how she did things. If she gave into them one time,

it would be endless.

“I know,” Irwin said.

Natalie was puzzled. “You do?”

It was a decision made right after the meeting, and Irwin… already knew about it?

Natalie couldn’t control her expression as it changed slightly.

Irwin sensed her unease and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” she said, but inwardly, a storm of unease was brewing.

When she looked at Irwin, there was an added layer of wariness.

In the next moment, Irwin said, “Nat, you’re not good at lying, hmm?”

Yeah, I think so too,” Natalle replied, setting down her wine glass and looking at Irwin.

Her gaze was overly sharp and cold, making Irwin pause. It was the first time he had seen

Natalie like this. Despite her dominance in the business world over the past two years, she

This level of sharpness she directed at him was a first.

“Are you upset?” He reached out to touch her cheek as a gesture of comfort.

However, unlike before, Natalie didn’t allow him to touch her face.
