A Divorce After My Rebirth
Chapter 316

Chapter 316 She Doesn’t Need Me Anymore

This time, Natalie had made a significant gamble for Bianca’s sake.

Natalie’s decision caused a sensation throughout Simeria. In the circle, there were widespread rumors

thatthe deputy CEO of Regal Horizons International was a spirited woman. However, she had provoked

the Entes family’s sixth son!

Later discussions mostly revolved around her being reckless and daring because she was young.

At the breakfast table, Natalie and Cedric exchanged silent glances after what had happened last night.

Cedric’s expression was somewhat grim.

Natalie’s phone vibrated, and she glanced to see Wendy calling. She answered.

“Wendy.”

“Ms. Walker, Lord Malcolm is already in the office.”

Natalie and Cedric were silent.

Instantly, the atmosphere around the man turned cold. He put down the cup in his hand and looked at

Natalie.

However, there was relief in Natalie’s eyes, like a burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”

Did this woman think that Malcolm’s return meant she could see Bianca?

That was too naive!

When Malcolm met someone in person, it was likely the start of a nightmare for them…. Bianca was a

clear example of it!

After hanging up Wendy’s call, Natalie stood up.

“Lydia, prepare the car.”

“Yes, Miss.”

“How are you planning to handle him?”

Cedric stood up, looking at Natalie. She had always been impulsive regarding Bianca, and Cedric

hoped she could be calmer at this moment.

“What do you think I should do?” She sarcastically countered.

The atmosphere between the two became tense, especially now. Even though they were discussing

Malcolm, her tone had a hint of aggression.

“I know you’re worried about Bianca, but her situation isn’t as bad as you think,” Cedric said.

“Hah!”

“When you showed me that photo, you said Bianca needed five stitches. Now, you’re telling me the

situation isn’t that bad?”

“Nat!”

“Cedric, which of the things you’ve said is true, and which is false?”

Initially, she was fine with letting these things go. But since Cedric brought it up, Natalie naturally

accepted the challenge and fought back.

Cedric exuded a chilling air. Without waiting for his response, Natalie walked past him.

The glint in her eyes was colder than ever.

Cedric grabbed her.

“Let go!”

Her tone was icy. However, Cedric didn’t let go. On the contrary, his grip tightened.

Cedric said, “Malcolm is exactly like the rumors!

Those rumors…!

Cedric was telling her that Malcolm was as ruthless as the rumors suggested and that such people

were best avoided.

Once provoked, it would undoubtedly lead to big trouble,

And now, Natalie had undoubtedly provoked such trouble.

Cedric’s reminder was also a hope that she could be a little calmer and not make things worse.

“I know.”

“Your uncle is on his way back.”

“I know.”

‘Don’t confront him head–on!”

Now that Malcolm had come knocking, it meant Stephen wouldn’t be back in time to handle it

personally

+25 BONUS

So, Cedric also hoped that Natalie could be a bit calmer when facing this person.

“I never thought of confronting him head–on!” Natalie said.

“Then you…”

What was she saying at this juncture? She was the only one who was bold enough to halt a

collaboration with Malcolm!

Natalie shook off Cedric’s hand and headed outside. Judging by her demeanor, she didn’t seem like

someone who wouldn’t confront Malcolm.

Cedric felt uneasy and followed her.

On the way to the office, Natalie took out her laptop and skillfully dealt with some related documents.

She reminded Cedric of himself. He didn’t want to waste time back then and also dealt with work during

the car ride.

But Natalie was different!

Cedric took her laptop. “Your eyes are not good. You shouldn’t read documents in the car.”

Natalie snatched the laptop back. “Mind your own business!”

In other words, having him around was already her limit, and she hoped he wouldn’t interfere too much.

Cedric’s face darkened.

The two exuded an unpleasant aura, and the atmosphere became icy.

Upon arriving at the company, Cedric grabbed Natalie’s wrist when they exited the car.

“Remember, don’t be forceful with him.”

“Cedric.”

“Hmm?”

“I’ve been managing Regal Horizons for two years now. Do you think I’m the same housewife you kept

by your side two years ago?”

Cedric was silent.

With that comment, Natalie shook off his hand and walked away.

Cedric stood still, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

How could she be so reckless?!

+25 BONUS

Natalie had made such a move just because she couldn’t find Malcolm, so she pressured him to

come back.

She wasn’t the same housewife he kept by his side, so… she didn’t need his protection.

anymore?

Everything he had been confident in shattered at Natalie’s words.

At this moment, Cedric remembered that Natalie had been blind in his past life when she had

asked for a divorce.

He had been very confident that Natalie needed him.

Without him, she couldn’t even take care of herself.

However, just now…

She said she had been managing Regal Horizons International for two years.

That was right. She was the deputy CEO of Regal Horizons International.

She wasn’t the same woman who wholly relied on him anymore.

Now, many people needed her. Under her leadership, the salaries of Regal Horizons International

employees have multiplied several times in the past two years.

But they weren’t the only people who needed Natalie.

For example… Bianca!

Natalie, who used to cry to Bianca when the Johnson family bullied her… had now become Bianca’s

support instead.

Lucas approached and called out in concern, “Mr. Johnson?”

Cedric looked at Lucas with a deep gaze as if he wished he could see through everything.

Lucas was a little anxious at Cedric’s penetrating gaze, and his chest tightened.

“What’s wrong, sir?”

“Lucas.”

“Yes, sir?”

“She… doesn’t need me anymore?”

Lucas was silent.

Natalie didn’t need Cedric?

In fact, ever since she proposed a divorce, she hadn’t needed him.

+25 BONUS

Even back then, when Natalie might not have foreseen her future, she had mentally prepared herself

for independence.

Since the beginning of that marriage, the person who hadn’t managed to break free from dependence

was Cedric himself.

Lucas respefully lowered his head. “She’s now the deputy CEO of Regal Horizons, and she oversees

projects worldwide.”

While not directly answering Cedric’s question, Lucas’s words left Cedric momentarily stunned.

So, Natalie’s current position… was actually at the same height as his.

In that case, why would she need him?

Sensing Cedric’s change in demeanor, Lucas looked at him with concern. “Aren’t you going up?

Going up?

Lucas regretted asking that question the moment it left his lips.
