Love’s Second Act by Alvis Midden

Chapter 10 

Natalie petted the pig while responding to the caller’s criticism. I asked Calvin for a divorce yesterday! So even if the Jeffords family’s company goes bankrupt in the future, it has thing to do with me.” 

Hearing that. Rebecca who was originally gill reproaching Natalie through the phone, was 

her voice “What did you sar?” 

“Calvin and are going to get a divorce, 

Silence descended on the duo, 

Evidently, the domineering Rebecca on the other end of the line was stunned by Natalie’s abrupt change. She thoug just refused me when I asked her to come to the Jeffords manor in the morning 

And now, she already dares to speak to me like this?” 

Right now, Natalie had pretty much completely fallen out with the Jeffords family. First, it was with Cecilia in the morning. and now Rebecca. 

Despite that, Natalie felt exceedingly great on the inside. 

In the last three years, she meant nothing to this family. Even when she was pregnant, they set her up and caused her to love the baby. 

There was no such thing as the mother gaining an increase in status due to her offspring in the Jeffords family, 

Those people were basically absurdly cavalier. 

“How dare you ask for a divorce! Natalie Walcott, go look yourself in the- 

Rebecca totally lost her cool and began to curse, but Natalie had no interest in listening, so the latter hung up the phone without hesitation 

Her recent change, compared to her previous meekness, was practically night and day. 

She used to be extremely polne to the Jeffords family, but now, she no longer bothered to put up with their rudeness. 

As she expected, the public was in an uproar over this piece of news 

As such, the police came to look for Natalie, wath Calvan trailing them. Her heart turned icy at the sight of him. 

He said something to the police officers, who nodded at him, and then walked toward Natalie

had gone down the drain.

They knew what kind of people each other was, yes she could not see through Calvin anymore, and he no longer trusted her either 

She stopped looking at the man and walked straight to the police car 

“Nat. Behind her came his moderately quavering voice, 

Natalie stopped in her tracks but did not lool hack 

Calvin stepped forward and pressed his warm chest against her back breathing down the side of her n*eck 

Likely due to being worried that he would bruk her heart if this matter trudy had nothing to do with her, he comforted her in advance. “It’s simply a standard procedure Just be honest with them” 

Natalie merely removed his hands and got into the police car without a backward glance 

“Standard procedure? How easy for him to say! If it weren’t because be directed the suspicion on me, how could the police come here just because I met Yvette today?” she thought in toeläin. 

At the police station, Natalie gave a lot of statements. Despite Calvin saying this was a so-called standard procedure, in her eyes, it was more like an aggressive interrogation 

The questions were repeated as the police kept trying to find the flaws in her words. 

“For the past six months, there have constantly been rumors that Mr. Jeffords is seeing his personal assistant, Ms. Yvette. Maddox. What do you think of this?” 

Natalie responded, “I’ve already started preparing for a divorce with him yesterday. We broke up amicably. 

Her answer displayed her disregard for the rumors and implied that they were parting on good terms 

Indeed, she was wise, 

All her answers were clear and logical. No matter how many times she was questioned or what kind of way they interrogated her, ber answers always remained the same. 

“Did Ms. Yvette Maddox ever disrespect you in any way? For example, in private.” 

Natalie answered, “The only time I met her in person was this morning. From the beginning to the end, we exchanged zero 

words.” 

Just as the police officer was about to ask the next question, Natalie contemplated for a while before remarking. “But I find something quite strange.” 

“What?” 

“My husband’s younger sister is an adopted daughter of the Jellonds family. Before I married my husband, she did many things to prevent it from happening. At first, I wasn’t sure why, blit later, I learned that she has always been in love with my 

“What does that have to do with this matter? asked the policewoman while noting that slown 

Natalie paused briefly. “When I saw Ms. Yvette Maddox this morning, she was with Cecilia Jeffords!” 

Heaning that, the policewoman who was recording the statement punctured the paper with the pen and abruptly looked up 

at Natalie. 

Natalie met the woman’s eyes calmly, her gaze unperturbed
