Chapter 177 Isabella’s Embarrassment

After hanging up Natalie’s call, Rebecca immediately called Cedric

After a few moments, Cedric answered, “Hello.”

“Where are you now?”

“Sapphire.”

“Is there something wrong with you?! Rebecca was visibly angry. “Turn around and drive back

immediately. No matter what happened with Isabella, I’ll handle it!”

“Who told you?” Cedric asked solemnly.

He had just stepped out of Scarlet Villa’s gate when Rebecca called

“Don’t worry about who told me. Just remember that this matter is not so simple. I hope you

understand!”

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t you see? Your relationship with Natalie has just improved a little, and Isabella suddenly comes

looking for you? I suspect… there’s someone behind her!”

Previously, Rebecca had never thought about this. She always believed it was Isabella’s cunning

scheme and that she was doing it alone.

But now, Natalie’s words made her realize that if Isabella was such a cunning woman, a lot of things

could be explained!

Isabella had a roof over her head, and she was set for life with the Johnson family caring for her.

What else could she be dissatisfied with that she needed to come looking for Cedric?

There was only one explanation!

As Natalie had said, there was someone behind her!

But who exactly was behind her?

That was

In the car, Cedric exuded a chilling aura.

“In that case, I must go even more!”

“You know what the relationship between her and Natalie is like, Ced! It’s possible… that it’s a trap for

our

family!”

Cedric’s face hardened, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.

A trap for the Johnson family!?

“It’s not as complicated as

ou think!”

Obviously, Cedric didn’t think too much at that moment, but Rebecca couldn’t let it go.

She said, “No matter what Isabella wants from you, don’t meet her for the time being!”

“If you’re not at ease, I’ll go to Sapphire right away!” Rebecca compromised.

In one night, the situation in Verde City seemed to have truly become chaotic.

Natalie’s reminder to Rebecca instantly brought out many questions.

Everything that was now in the past didn’t seem as simple as mere coincidences….

When Cedric left Scarlet Villa, Christina called Natalie.

Natalie noted the caller and answered.

“Hello, Ms. Johnson. What do you need?”

“Natalie, did you see? That’s how insignificant you are in his heart!”

“I knew it was you.

As long as she was by Cedric’s side, this woman would trouble her at every moment.

Natalie’s fingers moved subconsciously.

“You’re recording this, right? Christina asked.

Natalie was silent.

called to check on you and want to record our call. Is it necessary? Christina remarked, showing her

Natalie turned off the recording.

On the other end, there was a light laughter.

“Don’t you find it disgusting?” Christina said.

Natalie remained silent, listening.

“I used to wonder why she hated you so much. It turns out you used up what belonged to her. Even if

you compensate tenfold now, she won’t forgive you, right?”

Christina had figured it out.

She knew that Isabella was Natalie’s sister.

She also knew the vast difference in the environments Isabella and Natalie grew up in. Compared to

Natalie, Isabella had a much more difficult life, constantly enduring the blows of society and growing up

in the mud.

The path she took was filled with hardships, and her deep hatred towards Natalie and Natalie’s mother

stemmed from the adversities she faced.

She wished to utterly destroy Natalie.

“Ms. Johnson, if you don’t find it disgusting, why should I? Also, let me remind you, there’s nothing in

my family that belongs to her!”

“A child born out of wedlock enjoys equal inheritance rights, Natalie. Don’t you understand? You also

have a lawyer friend, don’t you?”

Natalie closed her eyes.

“Do you think you can continue staying in the Johnson family when Cedric and Rebecca learn of your

true

nature?”

“You’re quite a capable woman yourself. Yet, you didn’t manage to do anything about it, right?”

Natalie had to admit that Christina was genuinely intelligent.

Over the years, Natalie had tried more than once to let Rebecca and Cedric know what kind of person

she

But it was useless.

Christina was cunning, or perhaps Natalie was just ineffective

“Hmph, they’ll know eventually!”

“Natalie, technically, we shouldn’t have any grievances after your divorce with Ced. But why are you so

stubborn?”

Hah! Even Christina’s tone sounded so possessive and intimate when calling Cedric’s name!

I

“Christina, I find you quite pitiful. After all these years, you still don’t dare show even half your liking for

him.”

“You also know how Rebecca is, right? Even if she treats you like her own, you’ll be kicked out of the

Johnson family once you cross the last of her limits!”

In the three years she was in the Johnson family, Natalie had observed and more or less understood

everyone in the family.

What did Rebecca think of Christina?

She wanted to use her for a marriage alliance!

At most, Cedric regarded her as a sister!

And Christina’s feelings for Cedric… perhaps only Natalie understood them the best.

When she dealt with the women around Cedric before, Christina never intervened directly; it was

always

in Rebecca’s name.

“How pathetic! Even if you drive away all the women around him, what’s the use? You’ve been patient

for ten years and still gained nothing. The only thing you gained was probably your patience!”

No, it was more accurate to say that all she had gained was an obsession!

Natalie had to admit that Christina’s obsession was truly frightening!

“Be smug while you still can.”

“By the way, let me remind you.” Natalie thought of something and continued, “Rebecca is starting to

suspect that there’s someone behind Isabella now.”

If she finds out that you’ve been working with Isabella all along, what do you think will happen?”

Natalie!

+15 BONUS

“I also think I’m a bit despicable!”

In the past, she was foolish!

She directly admitted that it was Christina.

What did she get? Angry rebukes.

Everyone believed in Christina!

However,

if Rebecca had any doubts, she would definitely investigate thoroughly.

“I didn’t bother dealing with you before this, but I’m getting tired of this, you know?”

In the past, Natalie had disliked dealing with Christina.

But Natalie was repeating another life now, and Christina’s repeated actions… could make even a saint

annoyed!

After hanging up Christina’s call, Natalie took several deep breaths.

Her eyes dimmed.

There was a commotion at the door, and Cedric entered, exuding a chilling aura.

He frowned and said, “Butler, gather everyone.”

“H–has something happened?”

“Just do it!”

“No need. It was me.” Natalie said as she came out of the dining room, looking at Cedric

Rebecca had really moved fast.

Cedric was originally convinced that Rebecca had planted someone here again, but he didn’t expect it

to

be Natalie.

Natalie looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong with you?”

“You might not be able to think things through, but I don’t want to bear this embarrassment. If I didn’t

live

in Scarlet Villa, it would be fine. You can go wherever you want!”
