A Divorce After My Rebirth

Chapter 165 Manipulation

Natalie was more than just angry at this point!

Her anger did nothing to affect Cedric. She was initially uneasy, but now it felt even more stifling!

“Give me the original document, Natalie demanded.

When Zane called, she had wanted to bring up the issue of a mole in the company. But considering the

already tense atmosphere today, she decided to address it tomorrow at work.

Cedric looked at Natalie with the same self–satisfaction Natalie used to display towards him.

“It’s at Scarlet Villa.”

Natalie fell silent.

They continued their journey to Scarlet Villa without another word between them. When they got out, Lucas took the items from the bag and handed them to Cedric in a small pouch, which Cedric then passed to Natalie.

“Still using your family’s things after getting married? It won’t look good if others hear about it.”

“Whatever,” Natalie snapped, grabbing the bag. She didn’t want to engage with him right now.

In the past decade, Cedric had given her all sorts of valuable things. However, Natalie was a modest and low–key person, so she seldom used those items.

If it weren’t for her career now, she also wouldn’t have bothered.

Watching her storm off, Cedric chuckled.

Sitting in the car without immediately getting out, he asked Lucas, “How could such a small thing cause so much trouble before?”

Especially thinking back to the day of Elizabeth’s birthday, when Natalie had been the most unruly in her life.

She had never been like that before.

It seemed as if something was forcing her into urgency–no, not just urgency!

It was as if not divorcing him would threaten her life.

When this thought crossed his mind, Cedric felt a tightness in his chest!

Cedric entered the villa to find Natalie sitting at the dining table, eating the food he had brought. She seemed resigned, a state he found quite satisfying.

He approached, pulled out a chair, and sat across from her.

“How is it? Does it taste good?” he asked.
