Chapter 93 It Doesn’t Matter if We’re Divorced
Cedric’s world was in complete disarray.
Reflecting on this period, starting from the time Isabella was kidnapped…
That was also the point at which his relationship with Natalie had completely broken down.
It wasn’t like Natalie hadn’t caused trouble before. But it was only after Isabella’s abduction that he had
consistently protected Isabella and believed that Natalie was ruthless!
But who could have anticipated..
Images of Isabella’s transfer records to Dr. Walton and videos of her moving effortlessly in the hospital flashed through his mind.
How could she…?!
When Natalie finished work in the evening, she walked towards the parking lot. There, she noticed a man leaning against her car, smoking.
His handsome profile seemed melancholic, like a brooding prince. There were already several cigarette butts on the ground, indicating that he had been waiting there for some time.
The sound of Natalie’s high heels clicking against the ground echoed in the air as she approached her car.
The man turned his attention towards her. Then, he threw his cigarette away and extinguished it underfoot.
Natalie stood her ground, and their eyes met. They silently stared at each other, neither approaching nor retreating from where they stood.
After a while, Natalie broke the silence. “Could you please move away from my car?”
Cedric replied, “Let’s talk.”
“We’re divorced. What’s left to talk about?” Natalie said calmly.
Compared to the impatience and coldness he had shown when he had uttered this sentence in his office during the day, Natalie now appeared exceptionally composed.
I was both a reminder and a form of distance.
When Cedric saw her like this, his heart tightened
At that moment, both Natalie and Cedric’s phones rang simultaneously. They exchanged a brief glance before picking up their respective calls.
Natalie’s call was from Dylan. He said, “Ms. Walker, our CEO would like to have dinner with you.”
Cedric received a call from the hospital. The nurse said, “Mr. Johnson, Ms. Morgan has stabilized. She’s Currently in the intensive care unit. Her attending physician would like you to come over.”
“Didn’t her attending physician resign?” Cedric’s tone was less than pleasant.
While taking the call, he kept an eye on Natalie. The basement was too quiet, and the sounds around
them were amplified, making it easy for him to hear.
Though he couldn’t make out the words spoken on the phone, his full attention was on Natalie’s reaction.
Natalie heard that Irwin wanted to have dinner with her and instinctively glanced in Cedric’s direction.
When she saw the dangerous look on his face, her heart skipped a beat.
She quickly replied, “Sure.”
As she said, the entire basement felt chilly, like a cold wind blew through.
Dylan asked, “How about I pick you up now?”
Natalie agreed, “That would be great.”
Natalie looked at the man standing beside her car. If she were to drive herself, she knew she would have to face another confrontation with him.
As she hung up the phone and turned to leave, Cedric sterly reminded her, “The Frazier family patriarch has six wives, and the most favored one is Mrs. Lambert. Irwin’s mother was the fifth wife and was expelled from the family years ago. Are you sure you’ll have any standing left in such a family?”
Natalie paused but didn’t turn around.
She closed her eyes for a moment.
After
getting together with Cedric, she had learned of the intricate and fiery nature of relationships among the elite families.
Although Cedric’s grandmother only gave birth to Cedric’s father, Cedric’s grandfather had several brothers.
Johnson family’s legacy had been built by the combined efforts of Cedric’s grandfather and his three

As a result, when Cedric’s father took the helm, he faced numerous obstacles and even covert schemes
from his uncles.
Growing up in such a complex and challenging environment, Cedric wielded a ruthless approach to secure his family’s legacy. For the sake of their family’s fortune, power struggles, and conflicts were
common among the branches of the family.
Even during Elizabeth’s recent seventieth birthday celebration, those relatives had not attended.
In doing so, their actions reveal the complexities of their relationships.
Natalie had already seen much of this. But when Cedric disclosed Irwin’s background, she couldn’t help. but feel apprehensive.
It was a reminder that Irwin, the man who appeared noble and solemn, had also been shaped by this tumultuous world.
Natalie spoke calmly, “Whether I’ll have any standing there is none of your concern.”
She knew the call Cedric received earlier was from the hospital, and she had overheard the conversation.
She couldn’t believe how determined Isabella was. It seemed that even if she was under the scrutiny of a magical mirror, Isabella would refuse to reveal her true identity.
was.
But Natalie didn’t care who or what she was.
“Yes, we’ve divorced, and you know very well why that happened, Cedric continued,
Natalie was silent.
That was right! It was because of Isabella’s schemes!
Cedric didn’t wait for her to respond but instead asked, “Did you come to my office today to hand over that evidence?”
Natalie remained silent, and Cedric pressed further, “You went through all the trouble to uncover that Information. Wasn’t it because you still cherished the ten years of our relationship?”
Wasn’t it because she wanted to show Cedric what kind of person Isabella truly was?
Now, he was admitting his mistake and apologizing to her! They could…
Natalie understood Cedric’s implication and turned to him. She gave him an ironic look and said, “You think too highly of yourself.”
Cedric protested, Nataliel
“This should have been your responsibility from the beginning, but I handled it instead. Are you sure I did
it because I was willing to give you that chance?”
Who did he think he was?
There was a time when he was her whole world.
But now, he was nothing
In fact, if Cedric believed her when she said she hadn’t done anything to Isabella…
If he had investigated this matter personally and uncovered the truth himself….
Natalie might have given him a chance.
Unfortunately, he had sided with Isabella from the moment Isabella was kidnapped.
we’ve come to this point because of your own actions said firmly.
You have no one to blame but yourself,” Natalie
Cedric stood there, stiff and silent.
She seemed to be referring to recent events, but her words implied more than that!
After Natalie left, Cedric remained frozen in place. He ignored the repeated calls from the hospital.
He could only feel a chilling numbness throughout his body.
He had underestimated human nature and what a truly crazy person could do. It was something that had taken him by surprise.
Isabella, who appeared kind and gentle, turned out to be the mastermind behind his divorce from Natalie.
Did he blame Isabella?
Of course, he did!
Even with Ivan in the picture, Cedric now wished to tear Isabella apart.
But, as Natalie had said, their relationship had reached this point due to his own actions.
If he had always stood by her and believed in her, would they be in this situation today?!
In an upscale restaurant, the brilliant white and amethyst crystals in the surroundings created a visually pleasing and luxurious atmosphere. The crystal lighting accentuated Natalie’s fair skin, making her look more stunning and enhancing her innate beauty.
Irwin raised his wine glass. He took a sip and asked, “Are you really divorced from him now?*
Irwin had her phone number and her Instagram as well. So, he had seen her recent post.
Natalie replied, “Yeah!”
However, there was a tinge of bitterness in her words.
