A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 307 Guardians in the Shadows

Irwin glanced at her with a serious glint in his eyes.

Taking her small hand again, he gently rubbed her icy fingertips.

“Before Leon investigated Bianca, all traces of her work were erased.”

“You knew about that too?”

“Nat…!”

“Irv, I told you, right?”

“What?”

“Withdraw the people you have around me!”

Natalie felt very uncomfortable with such comprehensive monitoring. Even though she knew Irwin had

no malicious intent, she disliked it.

At this moment, she even expressed strong resistance.

Irwin looked at her. In his eyes, there was a habitual indulgence. However, this kind of indulgence was

so profound that it was impenetrable.

Natalie didn’t like this feeling at all.

Irwin said, “I’m not at ease when he’s around!”

Irwin was referring to Cedric!

Without waiting for Natalie to speak, Irwin continued, “Do you remember how bad the rain. was that day

when you drove? Didn’t you ever wonder why you were fine? Did you think it was a coincidence?”

“You…”

Natalie looked at Irwin in shock, evidently unable to believe it.

That day on the road, she could hardly see anything clearly. She could only see the car in front of her,

and it was only because it had been flashing its hazard lights.

The car was going in the same direction as her, so she followed those hazard lights until the split at

Peach Garden, where the car finally left.

She thought it was a coincidence that the car had gone to the same place as her. She also thought the

person in the car had an emergency and had been using the hazard lights for

convenience:

But now, when Irwin mentioned it, a simple sentence instantly overturned all her protests.

“But by having someone constantly watch me like this, I…”

“Have I ever harmed you in any way?

“No!”

He had never done anything like that before!

Even so, being constantly monitored in such a comprehensive way made her uncomfortable. However,

he was also constantly protecting her from danger all the time.

It was different than when she was in Verde City

In Verde City, he would always appear in front of her as soon as possible whenever she was in danger..

However, things were different here. After returning to Simeria, Irwin seemed to be overwhelmed with

endless tasks.

Even so, he still thwarted all the dangers that sought to harm her.

“Irv…”

Natalie took a deep breath, and her tone had softened slightly.

Obviously, she didn’t expect this from Irwin..

“It’s different from when you were in Verde City. Back then, the dangers you faced were insignificant.

But now, in your current position, danger can come from all directions.”

From all directions?!

So, her surroundings may seem calm now. But in reality, all the dangers here were more serious and

complex than in Verde City.

At this moment, Natalie looked at Irwin, unsure of what to say.

Before she could speak, Irwin said, “That’s enough of that. I’m here today because of Ms. Sanders‘

matter.

It was for no other reason!

With a simple sentence, he diverted the topic away from the people he had placed around her.

When Irwin mentioned Bianca, Natalie instantly pushed Irwin’s surveillance of her to the back of her

mind.

Her complexion had already been stormy, and it darkened even more once Bianca was mentioned

Irwin continued, “You’really can’t do anything about it!”

“But why was she taken?!”

Now that it was brought up, Natalie naturally wanted answers.

Irwin glanced at her and finally said, “It’s because of her work.”

“Her work?”

“When she was still working in Verde City, she fought a legal battle against a woman named Faye

Winters.”

Faye Winters?

The name sounded somewhat familiar.

Wait, wasn’t she…

“Wasn’t she the second young mistress of the Lloyd family?”

remember her?”

“Yes, she…”

Fayee divorced the Lloyd family’s second son. Later, she supposedly jumped off a building because

she lost the lawsuit.

Natalie recalled that this incident had caused quite a stir in Verde City and was a topic of discussion for

a long time.

Suddenly, Natalie remembered! Bianca had been acting lawyer for Faye’s husband during that lawsuit!

So, it was because of that lawsuit and Faye…?!

“What was Faye’s relationship with Lord Malcolm?”

Wasn’t she the second young mistress of the Lloyd family?

Natalie was obviously shocked. Irwin looked at her and explained, “Lord Malcolm studied in Verde City

for a while. Back then, he promised to marry Faye.”

That was just…

In the end, he didn’t return to Verde City at the agreed time due to some reasons. Faye didn’t know his

true identity. After waiting for several years without seeing him, she thought she couldn’t wait any

longer and got married. She never saw Lord Malcolm again.

The more Natalie heard, the tighter her heart became.

“So, Lord Malcolm didn’t actually break his promise, did he? Something hindered him from returning at

the agreed time, right?”

“Yes.”

Now Natalie understood everything.

Without saying it, this was…!

To Malcolm, Faye held the same position that Isabella held in Cedric’s heart. She was a presence that

couldn’t be replaced by anything else.

If Cedric could even throw his legally wedded wife into prison for Isabella, what would Malcolm do to

Bianca, who had caused Faye to lose her life because of a lost lawsuit?

It was no wonder…!

Natalie now fully understood why every photo Cedric showed her was so horrifying. Those were real

snapshots of Bianca in Malcolm’s hands!

She was now…1

The more she thought, the tighter Natalie’s heart became.

at you c

do anything about this, you know?” Irwin said solemnly.

Indeed, there was nothing she could do.

Especially now that she knew the whole story, Natalie was even more aware that she couldn’t influence

this matter in any way.

But… so what if that was the case?

Natalie took a deep breath and said, “Irv, can you help me?”

The glint in Irwin’s eyes deepened.

Natalie knew that when Irwin said she couldn’t handle it, it meant she couldn’t handle it, not that he

couldn’t.

Irwin was the master of Maple Peak. His was a presence that even the Entes family feared, so Irwin

could certainly do something about it.

The two locked eyes for a long time.

After a long while, Natalie felt guilt gnaw at her heart. “I’m sorry. I just…”

She was simply too worried about Bianca.

Even if Irwin feared nothing from the Entes family, getting involved in this matter would

What kind of person was Malcolm?

Just listening to the rumors was enough to know that he was a ruthless and cold–hearted man!

Bianca had provoked such a formidable figure, and getting her out of his clutches would be difficult!

However, before she could finish her sentence, Irwin pressed his slender fingers to his lips to

silence her.

Natalie narrowed her eyes as she stared intensely at the man before her.

The man’s breath gently brushed against her face, carrying an almost enchanting allure.

“I can help you, but…”

Bang!

Before Irwin could finish his sentence, someone forcefully slammed the office door open from

outside.

Natalie jolted in surprise at the sound. She looked towards the entrance and saw Cedric, standing at

the doorway with a mix of shock and anger.
