At lunchtime, Cedric answered several company calls and barely ate anything.

Meanwhile, Natalie sat quietly. It was hard to believe that a woman who had been insisting on divorce could still eat so heartily.

Cedric was irritated as he looked at Natalie in dissatisfaction.

After hanging up the phone, Cedric said, "I need to go on a business trip to South City. I'll be leaving this afternoon and will probably be away for about three days."

A few days away might be for the best. He hoped that she would calm down during this time and not bring up the frustrating matter from today when he returned.

Finally, Natalie lifted her head to look at him. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she casually brushed her long hair aside.

It was a gesture that exuded elegance.

Cedric narrowed his eyes, and he felt tense all over. After being married for many years, he still couldn't resist her.

Natalie didn't know what was on the man's mind. She blinked her long lashes and remembered that in her previous life, this man had also gone on a business trip in the afternoon when he received news of Isabella's kidnapping.

Later, he had rushed back in a hurry.

She replied after some careful consideration, "Sure. Bianca has some free time this afternoon, so I think it would be a good time for me to speak to Ms. Morgan and get the legalities out of the way."

Cedric couldn't leave today. He had to stay with her.

Cedric was genuinely furious after he heard what she said. Natalie was causing such a ruckus until it affected his work?!

"This is completely unlike you, Natalie! You weren't like this before!"

"Did you even remember what I was like before? Or do you remember what you used to be like?"

He mentioned the past, and it struck a chord with Natalie.

The past?! Cedric had the audacity to bring up the past!?

Cedric also realized that Natalie was making a fuss about the events of the past six months, something she had ignored until now.

He had assumed she trusted him, so he hadn't explained. But who would have thought that she would bring up divorce directly because of this matter?

"You finally asked," he said, realizing that the trust between them had always been his own presumption.

Natalie knew what he was thinking but chose not to say anything.

At this point, talking too much wouldn't make a difference.

Cedric continued, "The rumors that are going around about us... That's not what it is between me and her."

"I don't care about what happened between you two. Right now, you either go ahead with the divorce, or you stay at home and seriously consider it," Natalie stated firmly.

Cedric clenched his fists at her words, and his gaze fixed on Natalie.

He had no desire to say another word.

She had always been a stubborn woman. If she didn't throw a tantrum whenever something happened, that was the end of it. But if she did, it would take days of cajoling to calm her down.

Right now, what she needed most was to calm down.

Natalie was firm on her decision. Regardless of what happened today, Cedric couldn't leave their home. Not a single step.

However, what infuriated her was...

He left while she was using the restroom!

Standing in the spacious villa, she closed her eyes. Thinking about her situation after tomorrow, a chill ran up her spine.

After a while, her phone rang. The screen displayed Bia's name, and Natalie answered.

"Hello, Bia."

"How's it going, Nat? Did that scumbag sign the divorce papers?" Bianca got straight to the point.

Before Natalie married Cedric, Bianca had advised her that the Johnson family was one of the top families in Verde City and that Natalie wouldn't be able to handle such a man.

Once a marriage crisis occurred, Natalie would be the one to suffer.

What had she replied to Bianca at the time?

She had said, "We've been in a seven-year relationship; if there was a chance our feelings would change, there's no way we'll get married."

Thinking about it now, that statement was truly ironic.

Taking a deep breath, she replied, "No."

"What? He cheated and is still trying to justify it? He won't agree to a divorce?"

"Enough, Bia. Do you know of any handwriting analysis agencies?"

"Why?"

"I need one," she said urgently.

One pitfall couldn't keep her down in the same place for two lifetimes, right?

Since she couldn't change what happened today, she needed to be fully prepared for what would happen tomorrow.

"Yes, I do. I'll send you the information right away."

"Okay."

"How about tea in the afternoon tomorrow?"

"Sounds good." Natalie's lips curved into a smile.

When she thought about it, these three years as Mrs. Johnson had been quite frustrating.

Since getting married, she had rarely gone out with her friends. She was supposed to be the high-and-mighty daughter-in-law of the Johnson family. Her mother-in-law, Rebecca Carter, insisted the people she met had to match the Johnson family's status.

    "Nat, there's no need to bother about them because of me," Bianca said, looking at Natalie with concern.Clearly, she was worried about Natalie's miserable days in the Johnson family. After all, they were still not divorced, and being a wealthy family's daughter-in-law was no easy task.Natalie waved her hand dismissively and said, "They haven't treated me well either. Now that we're getting divorced, there's no need to hold back and continue pretending."Because of Cedric, Natalie had always tried to please the Johnson family, no matter how difficult they made life for her. She had hoped they would accept her if she did so. But in the end, there was no acceptance. There was only a status quo that remained the same forever.Just then, her phone vibrated. She checked it and saw that it was Cedric calling. She glanced at Bianca and answered, "Hello.""What did you say to Tina?" Cedric's voice was tense."Don't you already know? By the way, she's with Ms. Morgan now. I didn't know

    In the afternoon, Cedric returned home. After making several phone calls in his study, he left the room.Natalie was dressed in casual attire, and she looked very demure. She held a cute piglet in her arms. It was dressed in a beautiful little dress, and it was even so well-groomed!Cedric approached her and snatched the piglet from her arms. He threw it onto the sofa without hesitation. Natalie glared at him, unable to contain her anger.So, Isabella had been kidnapped, and he was here to take his anger out on her?!"What do you want?""I have questions for you.""If you have questions, just ask. Why throw Ginger around?" Cedric's anger resurfaced again. He was worried, yet this woman was actually quarreling with him over a pig?!She really could make his emotions spiral out of control at any moment!He sat down and threw the piglet further away.Natalie narrowed her beautiful eyes and silently picked up the piglet to soothe it in her arms.

    "I told Cedric I wanted a divorce yesterday! So, from now on, I have no connection to the Johnson family's company, even if it goes bankrupt," Natalie responded as she stroked the piglet, calmly facing the scolding on the other end of the phone.Rebecca, who had been berating her on the phone, was taken aback by Natalie's words. Then, the older woman screeched, "What did you say?""I want a divorce from him."The air grew quiet. Rebecca had always asserted her dominance as Natalie's mother-in-law, and she couldn't grasp the sudden change in Natalie.Earlier, she had told Natalie to drop by the Johnson Manor, but the younger woman had brushed her off! And now, she dared to speak this way?!Natalie had completely dropped all pretenses with the Johnson family now. In the morning, it was Christina, and now it was Rebecca.

Cedric saw Natalie and took a step forward, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.Natalie didn't look at him. She walked past him and headed toward Bianca's car. However, she felt someone grab her wrist tightly. She looked up to see Cedric."I'll drive you home," he said."Home?" Natalie laughed bitterly. "That place hasn't been my home for a long time." She shook off his hand calmly.A heart would die after experiencing such a great calamity. It was impossible for the others with her right now to understand that statement.In her previous life, Natalie had panicked at this moment because Cedric had always been in control. She had been brought to the police station and had only been released after three days.And that was only because Bianca had bailed her out."Natalie!" The man's voice trembled. Natalie turned her head to look at him. She g

    As soon as Natalie returned to Scarlet Villa, she sensed that something was amiss when she walked through the door. Zoe greeted her at the entrance. Her expression seemed somewhat uneasy as she said, "Madam Johnson is here."Natalie raised an eyebrow.Thinking about her attitude towards Rebecca yesterday morning, she feared that the older woman would come in person to confront her at night.She ran her hand through her disheveled hair and walked inside, where she saw Rebecca sitting on the grand sofa with an air of superiority, much like a queen dowager.In her previous life, every time Natalie saw Rebecca like this, she would quickly serve tea and water like a maid. Back then, she was eager to please Cedric's family. She didn't realize that the more humble she appeared, the more they looked down on her.She kicked off her shoes and casually threw her bag onto the sofa."Zoe.""Yes, Madam," Zoe hurriedly entered and respectfully stood by Rebecca's side.At this moment, Nata

    On the second floor, Natalie instantly stopped in her tracks upon hearing those words!She couldn't stop the tremble that wrecked through her, and her eyes turned exceedingly cold.This was the first time she had ever been like this. It was hard to imagine that such a small person could exude such a menacing presence."We..."Bang!Cedric's words were cut off abruptly as Natalie suddenly moved. She forcefully freed herself from his grip and slammed him against the wall. The sound of the impact demonstrated the swiftness of her action.Before Cedric could react, Natalie turned around, her eyes flashing with coldness. "Natalie!"It was as if she hadn't heard the man's voice at all. She quickly walked back the way she came from, her small frame descending the stairs with determination.Natalie had always felt a sense of oppression when they stood together, as Rebecca was taller than her.But now, despite her small face and petite body, her eyes emanated an intimidating glint.

    Upstairs, Natalie listened to Cedric's yelling at Rebecca. She couldn’t help but feel sad about how ironic the situation was!When they had looked down on her, even refusing to allow her to have Cedric's child, she hadn't uttered a word of complaint in Cedric's presence.Looking back now, she realized how foolishly she had thought that she simply needed to do better, and eventually, the Johnson family would accept her. Since the deaths of her parents and grandmother, she had never experienced the warmth of a family. That's why she had been single-mindedly working to maintain Cedric's family.Her entire focus had been on gaining their acceptance. But in the end, she had been wrong.She closed her eyes, but the sorrow on her face was impossible to conceal.When Cedric came upstairs, he saw Natalie lying on the chaise longue in the room.

Usually, this place was dim in the evenings, but today, everything was unexpectedly bright."Ms. Stewart has returned," Neil replied.Zane's mind went blank for a moment.

He can't change anything here, so it's better for him to return to the world he belongs to," Bianca explained.During this time, Natalie had transformed Simeria into a fortress.

    As she spoke, Seraphine felt the already dangerous aura around the man grow even darker, sending her heart racing. She tried to speak, but found herself speechless."Hmph, you useless thing!" Zane cursed menacingly.Cold sweat soaked Seraphine's back completely."There must be a way," she choked out, her tone tense.At that moment, Seraphine recalled what Zane had said to her before she came back to Simeria.He had told her that he never kept useless individuals around him. To gain his protection, one had to be useful. And now, Seraphine's only use—her engagement to Malcolm—had been effortlessly annulled."Heh," Zane sneered disdainfully.For Seraphine, this disdain was not only humiliating, but also starkly different from her experiences with Eleanor.

    When Bianca returned to the Holly family’s residence, she found Curtis staring gravely at some documents. When he started coughing violently, his face turning as pale as a sheet, Carol hurried over to check on him."Sir, let Ms. Bianca handle these documents. Please don't strain yourself," Carol said, her tone full of concern."I see now," Curtis muttered heavily, as if he had just realized something crucial.Not understanding what he meant, Carol simply urged, "Your health can't handle this strain. Don't tire yourself out. You must trust Ms. Bianca."Curtis fell silent.Trust?He had always trusted Bianca, but now he regretted bringing her back.

Bianca scoffed, her laughter bitter."Bianca!" Zane's voice was sharp, cutting through her mirth."Zane, what if I reveal your true intentions to everyone?
