Chapter 93
Chapter 93 It Doesn’t Matter if We’re Divorced
Cedric’s world was inplete disarray.
Reflecting on this period, starting from the time Isabe was kidnapped…
That was also the point at which his rtionship with Natalie hadpletely broken down.
It wasn’t like Natalie hadn’t caused trouble before. But it was only after Isabe’s abduction that he had
consistently protected Isabe and believed that Natalie was ruthless!
But who could have anticipated..
Images of Isabe’s transfer records to Dr. Walton and videos of her moving effortlessly in the hospital
shed through his mind.
How could she…?!
When Natalie finished work in the evening, she walked towards the parking lot. There, she noticed a
man leaning against her car, smoking.
His handsome profile seemed mncholic, like a brooding prince. There were already several cigarette
butts on the ground, indicating that he had been waiting there for some time.
The sound of Natalie’s high heels clicking against the ground echoed in the air as she approached her
car.
The man turned his attention towards her. Then, he threw his cigarette away and extinguished it
underfoot.
Natalie stood her ground, and their eyes met. They silently stared at each other, neither approaching
nor retreating from where they stood.
After a while, Natalie broke the silence. “Could you please move away from my car?”
Cedric replied, “Let’s talk.”
“We’re divorced. What’s left to talk about?” Natalie said calmly.
Compared to the impatience and coldness he had shown when he had uttered this sentence in his
office during the day, Natalie now appeared exceptionallyposed.
I was both a reminder and a form of distance.
When Cedric saw her like this, his heart tightened
At that moment, both Natalie and Cedric’s phones rang simultaneously. They exchanged a brief nce
before picking up their respective calls.
Natalie’s call was from Dn. He said, “Ms. Walker, our CEO would like to have dinner with you.”
Cedric received a call from the hospital. The nurse said, “Mr. Johnson, Ms. Morgan has stabilized.
She’s Currently in the intensive care unit. Her attending physician would like you toe over.”
“Didn’t her attending physician resign?” Cedric’s tone was less than pleasant.
While taking the call, he kept an eye on Natalie. The basement was too quiet, and the sounds around
them were amplified, making it easy for him to hear.
Though he couldn’t make out the words spoken on the phone, his full attention was on Natalie’s
reaction.
Natalie heard that Irwin wanted to have dinner with her and instinctively nced in Cedric’s direction.
When she saw the dangerous look on his face, her heart skipped a beat.
She quickly replied, “Sure.”
As she said, the entire basement felt chilly, like a cold wind blew through.
Dn asked, “How about I pick you up now?”

Natalie agreed, “That would be great.”
Natalie looked at the man standing beside her car. If she were to drive herself, she knew she would
have to face another confrontation with him.
As she hung up the phone and turned to leave, Cedric sterly reminded her, “The Frazier family
patriarch has six wives, and the most favored one is Mrs. Lambert. Irwin’s mother was the fifth wife and
was expelled from the family years ago. Are you sure you’ll have any standing left in such a family?”
Natalie paused but didn’t turn around.
She closed her eyes for a moment.
After
getting together with Cedric, she had learned of the intricate and fiery nature of rtionships among the
elite families.
Although Cedric’s grandmother only gave birth to Cedric’s father, Cedric’s grandfather had several
brothers.
Johnson family’s legacy had been built by thebined efforts of Cedric’s grandfather and his three

As a result, when Cedric’s father took the helm, he faced numerous obstacles and even covert
schemes
from his uncles.
Growing up in such aplex and challenging environment, Cedric wielded a ruthless approach to
secure his family’s legacy. For the sake of their family’s fortune, power struggles, and conflicts were
Even during Elizabeth’s recent seventieth birthday celebration, those rtives had not attended.
In doing so, their actions reveal theplexities of their rtionships.
Natalie had already seen much of this. But when Cedric disclosed Irwin’s background, she couldn’t
help. but feel apprehensive.
It was a reminder that Irwin, the man who appeared noble and solemn, had also been shaped by this
tumultuous world.
Natalie spoke calmly, “Whether I’ll have any standing there is none of your concern.”
She knew the call Cedric received earlier was from the hospital, and she had overheard the
conversation.
She couldn’t believe how determined Isabe was. It seemed that even if she was under the scrutiny of
a magical mirror, Isabe would refuse to reveal her true identity.
was.
But Natalie didn’t care who or what she was.
“Yes, we’ve divorced, and you know very well why that happened, Cedric continued,
Natalie was silent.
That was right! It was because of Isabe’s schemes!
Cedric didn’t wait for her to respond but instead asked, “Did youe to my office today to hand over
that evidence?”
Natalie remained silent, and Cedric pressed further, “You went through all the trouble to uncover that
Information. Wasn’t it because you still cherished the ten years of our rtionship?”
Wasn’t it because she wanted to show Cedric what kind of person Isabe truly was?
Now, he was admitting his mistake and apologizing to her! They could…
Natalie understood Cedric’s implication and turned to him. She gave him an ironic look and said, “You
think too highly of yourself.”
Cedric protested, Nataliel
“This should have been your responsibility from the beginning, but I handled it instead. Are you sure I
did
it because I was willing to give you that chance?”
Who did he think he was?
There was a time when he was her whole world.
But now, he was nothing
In fact, if Cedric believed her when she said she hadn’t done anything to Isabe…
If he had investigated this matter personally and uncovered the truth himself….
Natalie might have given him a chance.
Unfortunately, he had sided with Isabe from the moment Isabe was kidnapped.
we’vee to this point because of your own actions said firmly.
You have no one to me but yourself,” Natalie
Cedric stood there, stiff and silent.
She seemed to be referring to recent events, but her words implied more than that!
After Natalie left, Cedric remained frozen in ce. He ignored the repeated calls from the hospital.
He could only feel a chilling numbness throughout his b*dy.
He had underestimated human nature and what a truly crazy person could do. It was something that
had taken him by surprise.
Isabe, who appeared kind and gentle, turned out to be the mastermind behind his divorce from
Natalie.
Did he me Isabe?
Of course, he did!
Even with Ivan in the picture, Cedric now wished to tear Isabe apart.
But, as Natalie had said, their rtionship had reached this point due to his own actions.
If he had always stood by her and believed in her, would they be in this situation today?!
In an upscale restaurant, the brilliant white and amethyst crystals in the surroundings created a visually
pleasing and luxurious atmosphere. The crystal lighting entuated Natalie’s fair skin, making her look
more stunning and enhancing her innate beauty.
Irwin raised his wine ss. He took a sip and asked, “Are you really divorced from him now?*
Irwin had her phone number and her Instagram as well. So, he had seen her recent post.
Natalie replied, “Yeah!”
However, there was a tinge of bitterness in her words.
