In the end, it was Cedric who couldn't let go.It would be a reasonable solution if he agreed to send Isabella anywhere outside Verde City. But he didn't."She's blind now. If you ask her to leave Verde City, where can she go? Who will take care of her?" Cedric said as he looked at Natalie.This statement seemed like an interrogation. It was also a subtle way of accusing her of cruelty!Natalie looked at him quietly with a smile on her lips. The laughter in her eyes was so obvious, unfamiliar, and ridiculous."Nat..." Seeing her smile like that, Cedric's heart tightened.He was about to reach for her hand, but Natalie pushed him away.Closing her eyes, she said, "She's my sister, right? Even I'm not worried about her well-being. As her brother-in-law, what are you worried about?"Natalie had used their relations here and...!With that, the concern and involvement Cedric was displaying for Isabella became even more ridiculous and disgusting.Cedric's face changed.He ha
After Jocelyn left, Christina came downstairs and asked Rebecca, "Mom, what did Joyce want?""Just keep an eye on Isabella!" Rebecca's expression wasn't pleasant. Originally, she intended to settle the matter between Jocelyn and Cedric to prevent any changes from happening.But now, she could see how the Lambert family was playing this.She had to admit that Isabella's presence in the Johnson family did have some impact on this matter!"I got it, Mom. But what did Joyce mean by that?""Oh, it just needs to be dealt with quickly!" Rebecca said irritatedly.In reality, her current thoughts were focused on another person. She closed her eyes, concealing the shrewdness in her eyes.Just as she was about to say something, the butler hurriedly came in. "Madam, there's a delivery for you!""Delivery?""Yes, ma'am.""Where is it from?""It's from Simeria."Simeria? From abroad?Rebecca furrowed her brow even more because she hadn't been shopping on foreign websites recently, so
Girls loved sweets, but many were afraid to indulge too much due to the fear of gaining weight.Seeing Christina enjoying the treats, the indulgence in Wanda's eyes deepened. "Shall I personally make you lunch, Miss?""Sure!""What would you like to eat?""Fish!""Alright. How about some braised fish?""Sounds good!" Christina nodded.She truly liked braised fish.Wanda looked at her. The more she looked at Christina, the more her fondness toward her grew. The smile on her lips widened as she said, "Have a couple more pieces; we'll have a late lunch!""Okay."Watching Christina eat happily like a child gave the cook a great sense of accomplishment.-After Rebecca left the Johnson Mansion, she made a call to investigate Natalie's whereabouts. Sylvan Gems was a huge company! Many of the upper-class circle in Verde City admired it greatly.Unexpectedly, her former daughter-in-law, whom she had despised, became the CEO of an international jewelry company.At this moment,
If it weren't for personally experiencing her tactics, Natalie might have thought that the lady before her was no different from other noble wives.This kind of gentleness seemed as if Rebecca's past tactics were truly a process to better Natalie as a person!"It's not really important if it's resentment or not, right? After all, I no longer have any relationship with you or the Johnson family!"Resentment?For people like them, the best revenge was indifference. Once, they used to press her down. Now, she stood at the pinnacle, making them look up to her. That was the true torment for them.Especially now, Natalie felt a sense of satisfaction deep inside as she watched Rebecca struggle with her words. Finally, she could vent some of the pent-up frustration she had for years!On the other hand, Rebecca tried to maintain a calm exterior. However, she was constantly enduring a heart-wrenching pain."Natalie," Rebecca said. She felt as if she couldn't hear her own voice.Nat
The Johnson family had always been conscious of their image and cared deeply about appearances. Now, they found themselves unexpectedly entangled in such a mess. What on earth was happening?Rebecca and Elizabeth were both relatively traditional women, so this situation was beyond what they could accept."W-what is going on?" Rebecca's mind was completely in chaos at this moment. What was happening here? Isabella was Natalie's sister. Natalie was Cedric's ex-wife. And now that Natalie had divorced Cedric, Isabella was residing in the Johnson Manor?! The relationships were getting incredibly complicated!Natalie interrupted her thoughts and said, "What's happening? I don't have time to explain to you." Glancing at her wristwatch, she ignored Rebecca and walked away."Wait!" As Natalie reached the doorway, Rebecca called out. Her face was pale, and even her voice was trembling!Natalie paused and turned her head slightly. "Is there anything else?""Then... What do y
Isabella flipped through her suitcase—the one Yuvan had personally delivered and placed in the cabinet. She opened it, searching for her phone. However, after going through the empty suitcase and feeling through each piece of clothing, she still couldn't find her phone anywhere."Ms. Morgan, it's time for your medication," a servant's voice came from outside.Then she heard the servant say in a displeased tone, "Why did you mess up the room like this?"Isabella asked in the same displeased tone, "Where's my phone?"She needed to make a call!She had to call Yuvan and Cedric. She needed to leave this place!Christina... she was too terrifying!What she had seen before was nothing compared to now. This time, Christina had truly revealed her true colors before Isabella.Isabella had to admit that the woman was frightening!She shuddered to think what kind of poisonous methods Christina had used to deal with all the other women who had once pursued Cedric.Poisonous wasn't
Christina scanned her surroundings and said, "Are you sure you want to talk with me here, out in the open?"Natalie replied, "I have other things to attend to. If it's not something urgent, come back tomorrow... no, the day after tomorrow.""You're quite the busy person now. It makes sense. You're the founder of Auro Studio and the CEO of Sylvan Gems," Christina remarked as she looked at Natalie, who was a head shorter than herself.When Natalie was in the Johnson family, Christina's jealousy was mainly directed at her position as Mrs. Johnson. After the divorce, they had no grievances or conflicts. But now, Natalie's dazzling identities seemed to stir up something within the Johnson family...!The call she just had with a certain person flashed through her mind, and the anger in her heart burned hotter!Natalie asked, "Ten minutes. Is that enough?""Fine."In the end, the two found a spot in the lounge area.The receptionist quickly brought two cups of coffee, and Christina
When their food arrived, Bianca took a sip of her red wine and then said to Natalie, "I'm reminding you now, you better keep a clear head."She was referring to the matter with Rebecca.Both Natalie and Bianca had expected Rebecca to approach Natalie after the revelation of Natalie's relationship with Stephen. However, they didn't expect her to come so quickly."If she had even a slight liking for you before, she wouldn't be coming to you now, right?" Bianca's words implied that Rebecca's sudden interest was not about Natalie but something else.Natalie responded, "It's because of Isabella.""Isabella?""Isabella has gone completely blind, right? Somehow, the story about Isabella and Ivan has spread in high society. The Johnson family was concerned about the impact, so they had to bring Isabella back.""So you mean Rebecca is worried that Cedric will get together with Isabella?""Yes."Bianca scoffed. "This old hag! I should've known.""And I'm guessing there have been so
