A DIVORCE AFTER MY REBIRTH - Season 3 Episode 22

Natalie didn’t know how she managed to leave Apex Global. Sitting in the car, she felt like a lost child.

Just then, her phone vibrated.

She picked it up and noted it was an internal call from Auro Studio. Honestly, whenever she saw calls

from the internal line or from people like Zane and Karina, she couldn’t help but tense.

That was because they constantly reminded her of the dilemma she was facing.

Even though this was her second change at life, in the face of such a situation, she… felt lost!

Answering the call, she said, “Hello!”

“Can you come to the studio now?” Karina’s voice sounded urgent, making Natalie’s heart jump to her

throat.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s the Premier Garden project!”

Premier Garden Corporation?

The project with Caleb Spencer?

“What happened?”

“They need the designs urgently. You know how it is now, all our designers are…” Karina trailed off.

Natalie understood. If Premier Garden Corporation needed it, Natalie had to handle it personally.

In this short time, many good designers had left the studio, and the remaining interns were not enough

to

support such a large project.

“I got it,” N

“I got it,” Natalie said.

She hung up the phone. The traffic/outside seemed chaotic, but the moment she closed her eyes and

reopened them, clarity enveloped her.

She was Natalie Walker!

Yes, Natalie Walker!

She was a woman who was given a second change in life. Now, Cedric was determined to completely.

crush her for Isabella and watch her beg in misery.

That was all the more reason she couldn’t afford to fall.

Starting the car, she drove in the direction of Premier Garden Corporation.

When she arrived at Premier Garden Corporation, she saw Caleb’s tall figure coming out of the

magnificent office building, followed by the consistently cold and stone–faced assistant.

Natalie jogged up. “Mr. Spencer!”

The man heard her voice. He halted and looked in her direction.

“You shouldn’t be here at this time, should you?” Caleb said, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of

his

eyes as he observed her catching her breath.

It was rare to s

see someone smiling at her these days

As for her, she couldn’t even muster up a smile in response anymore.

She simply said, “Are you busy now? I’d like to delay you for a few minutes regarding the project.”

“Let’s go.” Caleb nodded and turned to walk back.

Natalie kept up!

the man’s strides.

In the office, the secretary poured Natalie a glass of water. Natalie took a sip, then downed half the

cup.

Whenever her inner turmoil surfaced, she liked to drink water. It seemed that only in those moments

could she temporarily alleviate the pressure on her heart.

Now, the man sat across from her with crossed arms.

“Terminate the collaboration?” Caleb’s tone was somewhat serious.

Natalie put down the cup and nodded. “You’ve seen the public opinion outside. Now, whoever

associates.

with me is in trouble.”

Hadn’t that shown with Irwin?

Many clients had reached out to terminate their collaborations with Auro Studios, and Natalie didn’t try

to

hold on at all.

She knew that Cedric was now standing on the opposite side. He practically wanted to kill her, and

Irwin was implicated because of her.

She didn’t want Premier Garden Corporation to be the same!

“Are you suggesting that your designs were the cause of the problem at the eastern suburbs site?”

Caleb said sharply, and there was a vague undertone in his words.

Natalie shook her head. “No.”

“No?”

“No. It wasn’t a problem with my designs.”

“Then, was there a problem with the materials for Sylvan Gems? Did you use your authority for

personal

gain?”

The man seemed to be interrogating her, but there was an obvious element of disbelief.

Natalie looked at Caleb and asked, “Are you asking me to… explain?”

He shrugged. “Not really.”

“But I want to hear it personally from you. Did you, or did you not?” he insisted.

Natalie asked, “If I tell you, will you believe me?”

Would he?

There weren’t many people around her who believed her now! Except for Bianca, who wasn’t involved

in Natalie’s line of work, others wouldn’t believe her.

Cedric, who should believe in her the most, didn’t.

What more to say about others?

Yet, Caleb…!

At this moment, he unexpectedly said just one word, “Yes!”

Natalie was speechless.

It was just one word, but it made her feel like tears were rushing to her eyes. However, she forcefully

suppressed them!

“You can cry. You have the right to cry!” The man’s sharp gaze seemed to penetrate her.

However, Natalie didn’t cry. She had always been strong! Given a second chance at life by fate, It

wasn’t

“Don’t blame Irwin either,” Caleb said as he reached out for his coffee. The moment he stirred it with a

spoon, the rich aroma filled the air, dissipating a bit of exhaustion,

Without waiting f Without waiting for Natalie to speak, Caleb continued, “After all, Stella is a significant

existence to him!”

“You probably don’t understand his situation in the Frazier family. Stella was the one who brought him

home, you know?”

At those words, Natalie’s heart tightened.

The Frazier family was a large family. The patriarch had several wives, and Irwin’s mother always lived

outside because she wasn’t well–liked.

Due to his mother’s unpleasant nature, Irwin’s position in the Frazier family was awkward. He had

spent a

e to h

considerable amount of time living outside with his mother.

Natalie knew all of this.

What she hadn’t expected was that Irwin was finally able to return to the Frazier family because of

Stella. Natalie speculated that Stella had played a significant role in helping Irwin gain control over the

Frazier

family.

In the Frazier family, Stella was his only warmth. She was a sister unlike any other to him.

“Thank you.” Natalie didn’t know what else to say at this moment, so she expressed her gratitude to

Caleb.

With this, she understood even more that regardless of whether the blueprints were her design or not,

things between her and Irwin….

“Irv has always been rational. Give him some time.” Caleb said this as if there was something between.

Natalie and Irwin.

In the past, Natalie might have argued against such words.

But now, she didn’t.

“Well, I guess our collaboration is settled, right?

“I get that you’re tied up with what’s happening in Sylvan Gems and the eastern suburbs project, but…

Natalie, are you afraid of Cedric now?”

Afraid?

+15 BONUS

What a joke!

“No!”

“You have too much pride, you know? It makes people want to soften it.” Caleb said mysteriously.

Natalie looked at him.

Caleb continued, “I didn’t expect you to come here to terminate our contract.”

“You…”

“Ask yourself. Who else in Verde City can help you now?”

Natalie was silent.

Who?

No one!

Cedric was relentlessly attacking her like a madman, and even her uncle… As Cedric said, he wouldn’t

touch her uncle’s side.

But orchestrating the crazy act of deceiving the Chairman of Regal Horizons International, and even

involving DNA, was a ruthless way to cut off her relationship with Stephen.

As he said, it was to sever her reliance.

“Irwin is definitely too preoccupied with Stella’s situation now to spare any attention to your side,” Caleb

said.

Yes, if it weren’t for Stella’s situation… Then, Irwin would undoubtedly be by her side.

But Stella…!

When Natalie thought of this, she couldn’t help but wish to tear Cedric into
