A DIVORCE AFTER MY REBIRTH - Season 1 Episode 79

Something’s Wrong with Isabella

It was a pitiful situation for a woman when her marriage with her husband reached this point!

Wanting to take Natalie’s eyes to save another woman…!

And he even had the gall to say it was temporary!

The fact that he could say these words had made the woman who had fallen in love with him suffer a

lifetime of misfortune!

Early in the morning, emotions were running high for Natalie.

The atmosphere at the Johnson Manor wasn’t much better.

Rebecca made a phone call to the Lambert family early on, presumably to apologize for the events of

the

previous evening.

However, she didn’t expect Amelia’s response to be a gentle but firm rejection of the proposed alliance

through marriage.

“Isabella!” Rebecca hissed.

She understood that this rejection was likely due to Isabella.

The fact that Cedric hadn’t divorced Natalie yet and allowed both the mistress and the legitimate wife to

attend the banquet was an insult to anyone.

In the past, the Johnson family was seen as a prestigious and wealthy family that everyone wanted to

be connected to.

But now…!

Except for families that needed an alliance for support, no one who cared about their daughters would

allow them to enter such a mess.

Rebecca had developed a strong liking for the Lambert family, especially because of their current

Influential status in Verde City.

With the Johnson family being one of the wealthiest families in the city and the Lambert family being a

key player. It was a perfect match–up.

In addition Jocelyn was an outstanding woman,

But now…!

“Mom, it’ll be okay. Don’t be angry. It’s the Lambert family’s loss!”

Christina, who was listening in on the call, couldn’t have been happier to hear the rejection. However,

she knew better than to show her excitement openly in front of her mother.

Rebecca was angry, but she was also rational.

She vented her frustration by saying, “It’s not about the Lambert family. It’s Isabella!”

Rebecca was aware that if it was Christina’s marriage on the line, she would also hope for a good

family

to marry into.

After all, if a husband was a good man, his wife would have a good life.

Cedric was her son, and she wanted to think positively about him. But every time she thought about

what he had been doing recently, it made her face turn red with anger!

“Why does he care so much about her? She’s just an assistant! It should be enough to give her some

money. There’s no need for him to personally care for her!”

The more she thought about it, the angrier Rebecca became.

If Rebecca had not mentioned this point, Christina wouldn’t have thought about it.

Previously, Christina had hoped that Isabella and Cedric would get closer so the divorce would happen

sooner. But now, it seemed like something was amiss.

Isabella was just an assistant. Christina had only needed some juicy rumors to disturb Natalie.

Upon closer reflection, Christina realized that Cedric had been very hands–on in Isabella’s affairs

recently.

She had probably gotten too carried away.in her own joy and had overlooked this.

“I don’t know either. Does Ced… really like Isabella?” Christina’s words earned Isabella quite a bit of

resentment from Rebecca.

Rebecca’s eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness upon hearing this. In her youth, she was quite a

beauty. However, her continuous anger had erased the elegance from her face.

“Like her? He used to tell me back then that it had to be Natalie, and now he’s so easily changing his

mind?r

What a joke!

Since Natalie is out of the picture, Rebecca wouldn’t allow Isabella or any other woman who wasn’t

worthy to get the chance to stand by Cedric’s side!

She continued, “When did it become so easy to enter our family?!”

Again, Rebecca grew furious!

Christina interjected, “But he does like her. Otherwise, why would he have been so hands–on with her

lately?”

A calculating look passed through her eyes as she uttered those words.

She was essentially smearing Isabella’s reputation. The more Christina insinuated this, the angrier

Rebecca became. Having already been infuriated by Natalie, there was no way she’d permit someone

like

Isabella to enter their household.

Rebecca was livid.

“I’m heading to the hospital.”

‘T’ll go with you!”

The calculating look in Christina’s eyes grew more intense. There was no need to guess her intentions

Isabella and Christina were business partners, so she knew Isabella well.

With Natalie out of the picture, Isabella… was next.

But when she was about to leave with Rebecca, the older woman pushed her back and said, “You

should stay home; you shouldn’t get involved with these kinds of matters.”

It was clear that in situations like this, she didn’t want to expose her adopted daughter to the world.

Over the years, Rebecca had been trying to protect her carefully constructed world.

“Alright,” Christina agreed obediently, not pushing the matter further.

As Rebecca left, Christina watched the car drive away with a smug look on her face.

Wanda appeared behind her and said, “Miss, the kitchen has prepared some snacks. Would you like to

try them?”

Alright

As Christina was in a good mood, her attitude towards Wanda had also improved.

In this household, the most challenging person to serve was Christina. If anyone made even the

slightest mistake, she wouldn’t let it slide

However, it was different with Wanda

She was Rebecca’s most trusted person, and Christina had the best relationship with her.

“Well, they’re delicious!” Christina added.

“Since you like it, feel free to have more. We added refined coconut, which is excellent for the skin.”

“Thank you, Wanda.”

“Please, enjoy them!”

Wanda’s eyes were filled with doting affection as she watched Christina. It was a deep love that came

from a weary heart!

Natalie returned to her office, still fuming with anger.

Karina entered and asked, “Are you okay?”

I’m fine!” Natalie responded.

But in reality, her heart was in turmoil.

Despite having experienced how heartless the man was before, she couldn’t help but shiver when he

once again mentioned giving her eyes to Isabella.

Ten years of love… had completely dissipated between them today.

Like in their previous life, there was nothing left except cruelty.

“Karina.”

“Yes?”

*Look into Isabella’s personal life,” Natalie said.

If Cedric wouldn’t agree to a divorce and wanted to protect that woman, she was left with no other

choice.

She would show him the truth!

In her previous life, she hated Cedric, thinking that hating him was enough.

But that day, she saw that Isabella’s eyes were perfectly fine.

With that Natalie knew that the person who had made her suffer so much in her previous life wasn’t just

Cedric alone

So she wouldn’t spare anyone.

“Alright,” Karina nodded.

Natalie slid a card across the desk to Karina and said, “Also, look into Isabella’s attending physician

discreetly. Spare no expense and uncover the nature of their collaboration.”

Karina hesitated, “Well…”

“Just do it!”

Karina was stunned, but she nodded. “Understood!”

At this moment, Karina finally realized that Natalie was bearing a burden that went far beyond what

was

visible on the surface.

Verde City might appear calm and straightforward, but beneath the surface, who knew what

undercurrents were at play?

“Have there been any messages from my uncle?” Natalie inquired.

“Mr. Jarvis called earlier, but you didn’t answer. He said to return his call once you’re available.”

It seemed like there was some news.

“Alright, you can go now. Also, please have someone bring me a mobile phone.”
