Ch. 241..250
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 241-Difficult Times In the past, what Christina most desired was to see her brother at home. She eagerly awaited the holidays when she could reunite with him during school breaks Later, when he married Natalie, she still hoped he would come back often.
However, these past few days have felt like an eternity for her.
Natalie was dead.
Although the firefighters eventually rescued her from the blaze, it was reported that she didn’t survive an hour after being saved.
Stephen came to take her away for cremation, Christina harbored a deep hatred for Natalie, resenting her significant role in Cedric’s world.
Yet, even so, it was hard to muster up any feelings of happiness right now.
Because the man she loved… had a debt to settle with her for the sake of that dead woman.
Christina had never been so afraid to face Cedric.
She feared that he might confront her for that woman’s sake. She worried that the cruelty he once directed at Natalie would now be turned against her.
Would that cruelty slowly accumulate and be focused on her?
“Miss, have some oranges; they’re very sweet.” Wanda stood behind Christina, holding the fruit. Her voice was soft and gentle.
Christina hadn’t eaten much these past two days despite her previous fondness for the snacks Wanda used to make for her.
However, these two days… No matter how much effort she put into it, Christina never took a single bite.
“I don’t want to eat!” Christina lacked patience at this moment, and she was irritated by Wanda’s kindness.
“Miss, how can you not eat? You’ll collapse if you continue like this.” “I wish I had burned in that fire instead,” Christina said bitterly.
Yes. Once a person was dead, that was the end. It was those who lived that suffered! The living was.
constantly tormented and experiencing unpleasant feelings After she said that, Wanda was shocked.
“No! Miss, what are you saying? Don’t say such ominous things.” The idea of death made Wanda uneasy.
She knew exactly what was on Christinas mind.
So she advised. ‘Miss, why worry about such things? Now that the woman is dead, would Master Cedric still treat you differently because of a dead person?” Christina was silent.
That woman was dead!
Turning back to Wanda, she looked at her with a complex and uncertain expression.
“Wanda, do you know what that card he saw means for Natalie and me?” It signified the exchange of their previous positions.
It meant that since Cedric had been cruel to Natalie before, he would now feel guilty and pained towards her.
It also meant that Christina would be facing Cedric’s wrath.
Wanda didn’t care about these implications; she just felt sorry for the currently tormented Christina, “What does it mean? Miss, you have Madam Rebecca and Madam Elizabeth Did you forget that?” “But I want him!” Christina said, expressing her heartache.
She could do without anyone from the Johnson family, but losing Cedric was something she couldn’t bear.
He was the love of her life. As the thought of possibly losing Cedric this time crossed her mind, she regretted that she had asked Cedric to go to her room to fetch the necklace just to spite Isabella.
Wanda looked at the pain in Christina’s eyes and set the fruit plate aside to embrace her.
She said, “Shh, I know.” “Wanda, I can’t lose him,” Christina said with tears streaming down her face.
Wanda patted her shoulder.
“Yes, I know. Shh, it’s okay. I know, hmm?” At that moment, despite the loving tone in Wanda’s voice, a glint of determination flashed in her eyes as if she had made some significant decision.
As Wanda’s warm arms circled around her, Christina broke down completely, crying like a child.
“Wanda” At the hospital, Rebecca had only gone to the restroom for a moment. When she returned, Cedric was nowhere to be found.
Her heart skipped a beat, especially when she saw the hospital gown on the bed, confirming that Cedric had left.
“Lucas? Lucas! Rebecca called for Lucas, but he was also nowhere to be seen. Undoubtedly, he had left.
Frantically pulling out her phone, she quickly dialed a number, and Wanda’s voice came from the other end.
“Hello?” “It’s me.” “Madam Rebecca,” Wanda greeted.
Rebecca urgently said, “Hurry, get Tina to my mother!” “What happened?” Wanda tensed when she heard Rebecca’s words.
Rebecca felt that something big was about to happen.
She knew her son too well, He had been so ruthless to Natale regarding Isabella’s matter. Now that Natalie was gone, he couldn’t contain his emotions.
So, he would likely find someone to vent his frustrations on… And that someone was undoubtedly Christina!
She even dared to assume that If it weren’t for the fire at the detention center that night, he might have 35 +158745 After all, there had been such a ruthless glint in his eyes!
“Cedric might have gone back,” Rebecca said.
Hearing that Cedric might be heading back and the fact that Rebecca had urgently called her to bring Christina to Elizabeth, Wanda knew that things involving Natalie weren’t that straightforward.
“Yes, of course, I understand,” Wanda said and hung up the phone.
Wanda turned around and saw Christina sitting on the sofa by the French window. Hurriedly, she stepped forward.
“Miss.” “What’s wrong?” “Let’s go to Madam Elizabeth first.” Saying this, Wanda pulled Christina up from the soft sofa.
As Christina saw the solemn expression on Wanda’s face, her heart began to pound.
She couldn’t help but ask stiffly. “What’s going on?” Wanda replied, “Let’s go first, okay?” Rebecca sounded so urgent on the phone, so Cedric should be on his way back now. Elizabeth liked tranquility, so walking from the annex building she was in would take several minutes.
Christina was anxious and uneasy as she let Wanda lead her out.
But then, they heard the sound of a car door slamming in the courtyard, The two exchanged glances.
The fondness and joy that used to fill Christina’s eyes when she knew Cedric was coming back were nowhere to be seen now.
In the past, every time she learned that Cedric was returning, she would happily rush to greet him joyfully.
But now…!
“Through the back door.” Hearing that Cedric had already gotten out of the car, Wanda quickly pulled Christina towards the kitchen.
Thinking about the danger emanating from Cedric that night, they didn’t dare face him at this moment.
Christina also didn’t want to see Cedric right now.
Isabella had done those things with her!
Why should all the blame fall on only Christina?
But now, it was too late for regrets.
The only solution was to wait for Cedric to calm down in time. Natalie’s incident had just occurred, and facing Cedric now seemed unfavorable for Christina in every way.
However, just as Wanda was pulling Christina to the kitchen door, a cold and sinister voice came from behind, “Christina!”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 242-Completely Finished Christina and Wanda turned stiffly to see Cedric standing chillingly in the hallway.
Behind him, in addition to Lucas, was also… the police?!
Christina and Wanda exchanged a look.
Fear filled Christina’s eyes, and her mind was completely in turmoil.
“Ced, what’s this? Christina nervously asked For the past two days, she had imagined countless times what it would be like when she and Cedric met again.
Perhaps there would be intense interrogations, disappointed confrontations, and his cold indifference.
However, she never expected this!
She never thought that when they met again, he would directly bring the police with him!
What pained her even more at this moment was Cedric’s cold indifference. He looked at her with icy eyes devoid of warmth. It was as if their shared childhood was just her own dream, and he… didn’t care at any all.
A police officer had approached her.
He politely said, “Ms. Johnson, we received Mr. Johnson’s report stating that you’re related to the recent investigation of Ms. Morgan’s kidnapping. Please come with us. We have some questions about the relevant details.” “No, it wasn’t me,” Christina said as she trembled.
Her face was pale at this moment, and she looked towards Cedric, At the moment their eyes met, all she saw was coldness.
“Ced, how can you not believe me? 1-1 wouldn’t hurt Bella…” “How could I harm someone?” Every word from Christing was filled with pain.
Wanda realized the situation at this moment, and she looked anxiously at Cedric, “Master Cedric, you know what kind of person Miss is, right? She wouldn’t harm anyone!” He actually reported this to the police!
He didn’t even give Christina a chance to explain. He was treating Christina just like he treated Natalie back then.
In fact, he was even harsher than with Natalie!
When dealing with Natalie, he gave her chances again and again, grinding her down and offering her opportunities.
But those so–called opportunities were ultimately disrupted by Christina and Isabella, making him unable to distinguish truth from falsehood..
In the end, he was utterly disappointed in Natalie.
But now, he was being so ruthless!
He didn’t even want to give Christina a chance to explain. He didn’t want to negotiate with her and just brought the police to her door.
“Ms. Johnson, please come with us.” The police officer was impatient with how Christina was trying to delay them. His tone became even more serious and cold.
Christina’s gaze remained on Cedric, Her eyes were filled with tears and grievance.
“Ced…” She called softly, her tone carrying endless pain and resentment.
Whenever Cedric saw her in such a state in the past, he would surely soften.
At that time, regardless of what happened between her and Natalie, he would unconditionally stand by her side.
However, now… He remained cold, without a hirit of emotion or warmth.
“Ms. Johnson.” “Master Cedric!” Wanda hurriedly approached and threw herself at Cedric’s feet. Tears streamed down her face as she said, “Please believe Miss! She’s not that cruel.” “And who are you?” Cedric’s icy voice made everyone shiver.
Summoning all her courage, Wanda met Cedric’s eyes. But his gaze was sharp, as if he could see through everything.
All the hidden secrets from the past were now laid bare in his eyes.
“I didn’t know you had such a close relationship with her that you would kneel for her, Wandal” Cedric’s words left Wanda even paler, and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes.
“Master Cedric…” Wanda’s voice shook uncontrollably when she spoke, especially under Cedric’s penetrating gaze.
Christina cried, “Ced, how can you not believe me?!” Especially when Cedric mentioned Wanda kneeling for her, her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat for some reason.
Through tear–filled eyes, she looked at Cedric, desperately hoping he would trust her unconditionally as he used to.
No matter what mistakes she made, he would always accept her without conditions.
But now… Cedric coldly stated, “The righteous need not fear investigation. Why waste time here? If you’re innocent, why not cooperate with the investigation?” Investigation?!
Christina never knew how heavy the word could be.
All traces of their involvement had been wiped clean after everything had been settled. If not for that card, nothing would have been exposed!
Despite their previous confidence, the moment they were to be ‘investigated, uncertainty began to creep into Christina’s heart.
Natalie hadn’t done those things, and yet she ended up burned inside the detention center.
Moreover, Christina had done those things! Could she really clear herself?!
“Ms. Johnson!” The police officer’s voice grew stern.
Rebecca rushed back and saw what was happening. At the same time, Elizabeth also arrived from the annex building Seeing the police involved, they were both shocked.
“Cedric,” Rebecca was sweating profusely as she came to Cedric’s side. “How can you treat Tina like this?
Seeing the situation, Elizabeth also hurriedly approached Cedric. “What’s going on here? Family matters should be resolved behind closed doors. Why involve the police?” Elizabeth was a traditional woman who disliked airing family disputes. With all the recent commotion in the Johnson family, she didn’t want any more scandals.
Now, even the police were involved!
Putting aside whether Elizabeth and the family really cared about Christina, she was still the Johnson family’s adopted daughter. They had no other daughters, and Christina still had her uses.
If Christina were to be taken away by the police today, it would become the joke of the entire Verde City.
Christina’s life would also be considered ruined!
However, in Cedric’s eyes, Rebecca and Elizabeth’s attitude had completely turned into their defense of Christina.
A bitter and sorrowful smile played on Cedric’s l*ps.
“Indeed, as she said, you never treated her as family!” Rebecca and Elizabeth’s expressions changed at Cedric’s words. They naturally knew he was referring to Natalie.
They had never truly accepted Natalie and had even tormented and abused her.
But now that she was dead, they wouldn’t want to lose Christina because of a deceased person.
“Ced!” “Mom, Grandma, I’m afraid I can’t be a good girl and stay by your side anymore.” Every word Christina spoke was filled with grief.
Rebecca’s heart ached.
Elizabeth’s face turned cold. “Cedl” “Inspector, I’ll leave the rest to you,” Cedric declared.
He ignored everyone and left.
Chaos erupted in the Johnson family at this moment.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 243-Forgive No One “Ced! Ced, please believe me! Let me explain!” Christina cried in despair.
The emotional scene hadn’t even begun, and Cedric efficiently put an end to it.
Rebecca and Elizabeth were frantic as they saw Cedric about to leave.
“Mom, Grandma!” Christina was genuinely alarmed as she was forcibly taken away. The situation made her realize that this time, it wasn’t just about cooperating with an investigation.
Cedric had done this!
He had brought the police today, indicating he hadn’t been idle these past few days.
Whatever he knew about her wasn’t as simple as just finding out about the card!
Thinking of the possibilities, despair overwhelmed Christina’s face.
Rebecca and Elizabeth were pale as they watched the scene unfold, but Wanda had the most intensel reaction.
“Ms. Christina! Miss!” I “Don’t take her away, It was me! I was the one who did it! I did everything!” Wanda tried to grab Christina, but someone pulled her away.
She fell heavily on the cold floor, full of despair.
Christina cried out, “I’m innocent! It wasn’t me! Ced, listen to my explanation! Mom! Grandma! Save me!” She struggled incessantly, but it was futile against the police, who forcefully took her into the car.
Her hands touched the cold iron bars, and Christina felt utter hopelessness.
Wanda rushed out, slipping in the rain. “Ms. Christina! Miss!” Rebecca and Elizabeth came out and saw the despairing scene they had never imagined would happen with Christina.
No, Christina couldn’t leave this place!
She didn’t want to leave this warm home. She couldn’t bear never coming back.
She was afraid. She was truly afraid!
“Mom! Grandma!” Holding onto the iron bars tightly, she desperately tried to get out of the cold police car.
It was over.
The thought flashed in Christina’s mind at this moment.
Cedric had never been this ruthless 10 her before.
When he saw her crying, there would be reluctance in his eyes.
But today…..
He had been so heartless.
And she knew what kind of person Cedric was, having grown up with him. Once he turned ruthless, no one could resist.
Finally, it happened.
She never thought that one day, all the cruelty Cedric had shown to Natalie would be inflicted on her.
She never thought Natalie would die; she just wanted to drive her away.
And she never expected that after Natalie’s death, Cedric would be so ruthless to her.
Fear and despair enveloped Christina completely, and her whole world turned dark.
On his e end, Cedric had left the Johnson Manor, utterly indifferent to Christina’s miserable fate.
All of this… she deserved it.
Yes, she deserved it!
The rain in Verde City was always cold.
Cedric stood in the chilly rain, looking at the perfectly intact Scarlet Villa.
His eyes flickered with overwhelming sorrow.
“Mr. Johnson, let’s go inside.” 215 Lucas was freezing, and Cedric was dressed even more lightly than him. Standing in the rain like this would make him sick.
Cedric seemed not to hear Lucas’s words. He simply stood quietly at the door, staring at everything.
familiar.
Everything here was so intact.
Where was the slightest trace of the destruction from his previous life?
Two lives….
The trajectory of fate and time had changed, but….
Natalie’s ending hadn’t changed.
How heartbreaking was that?
*Lucas,”novelbin “Yes, sir.” “Why was she cremated?” Could it be that she endured the same pain as in their previous life?
In their previous life, the fire here was completely extinguished, and Natalie was rescued.
Although she survived, she had severe burns all over her b*dy.
She never woke up.
She was pregnant at that time…!
Thinking about all those things, Cedric’s throat tightened. The pain in his heart suffocated him!
Lucas sensed his heavy breathing and took a deep breath before saying, “Sir, maybe… It’s better not to know.” Having been with Cedric for so long, Lucas couldn’t bear to see him like this. The more Cedric knew about Natalle’s final moments, the more painful it would be.
“Call Stefan over!” Cedric sald sternly.
When Lucas heard that Cedric wanted to see Stefan, he knew… Cedric would want to know every detail about Natalie.
35 Lucas also woke up to reality.
Now that he knew the whole truth, Cedric wouldn’t let it go easily if he wasn’t told every detail.
“Sir!” “Speak!” His one word was full of harshness Lucas tensed up. He lowered his head and said, “Ms. Walker was indeed alive when she was rescued!” eyes tur Cedric’s eyes turned stormy.
So, she had been alive then?
Lucas continued without waiting for him to speak, “But she didn’t last an hour. Mr. Jarvis didn’t even see her alive for the last time.
Stephen had come in the end, but he didn’t manage to see Natalie one last time before she died.
Just who was being punished in this situation?
Lucas looked at Cedric. With just one glance, he could see the slight trembling of the man’s shoulders.
Sen Me Writer was taken into “And, custody, they said she…” Lucas paused here, clearly reluctant to continue Even when he learned about those details back then, he was shocked and could imagine how despaired Cedric would be upon learning everything.
“She what?” Cedric asked in a hoarse voice.
She had been alive and had endured the same scorching pain as she did in their previous life.
She used to be a girl who cried like a child when scalded steam.
Cedric couldn’t bear to think further.
His heart throbbed painfully, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Thinking of the pain Natalie had endured for two lifetimes, Cedric wanted to kill himself so badly!!
Lucas lowered his head and finally said, ‘Ms. Walker was already pregnant when she went in, so… she died with the child!” Boom!
Cedric felt like his world was collapsing!
Nat… Nat!
His Nat… And their child. 1 Cedric fell to the ground heavily. He curled up on the damp ground, his chest heaving painfully.
Lucas quickly stepped forward. “Sir…!” “Leave!” Cedric roared, His world was filled w His world was filled with only despair at this moment.
She had left again.
She had left in such pain, taking their child with her.
How desperate she must have been at that time?
She loved children so much. She had wanted to have a child with him so much!
When the fire spread to her, how could she bear the pain of being unable to protect even the child?
talic Natalie was present so vividly in his heart when he thought about all of these things.
He knew exactly what she had felt inside.
Her trust in him had fallen entirely into the abyss of despair.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 244-Driving Isabella Away The dark clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind. The clear sky after the light rain carried a dampness along with the sunshine.
However, this ray of light could no longer reach Cedric’s heart.
At this moment in Scarlet Villa, Cedric sat hollow–eyed in the hall. Opposite him sat Isabella, equally heavy -hearted.
With everything that had happened, their wedding was naturally no longer possible. No one had expected Natalie to leave the world in such a tragic way.
Although Isabella wished for Natalie’s death, she had never actually wanted her to die.
She just wanted Natalie to pay the price for taking everything from her since childhood The price she wanted Natalie to pay was spending the rest of her life in prison. She wanted Natalie to watch as she slowly reclaimed what was hers and continued to possess Natalie’s man. She wanted Natalie to endure the torment and suffering.
However, seeing her dead just like that… Isabella felt no joy.
People couldn’t afford to give away their hearts. Whoever handed over their heart truly lost Isabella had lost now, and because of that loss, she felt heartache.
She didn’t want to leave.
But she couldn’t bring herself to say those words.
“Will I still be able to see you in the future?” She asked calmly, as if devoid of any emotions.
Natalie was dead.
Isabella was a clever woman, and she understood better than anyone what Natalie’s death meant to Cedric the moment he learned the truth.
Her informant had already told her of Christina’s late.
Even in the Johnson family, no one, not even Rebecca and Elizabeth together, could protect Christina.
It showed that if Cedric decided to act against Isabella, even that person wouldn’t be able to protect her.
Isabella was thankful that she had severed all ties with Christina before this happened. Otherwise, the outcome for her and Christina would have been equally bleak.
Cedric stood at the doorway. His silhouette exuded an endless chill and desolation when Isabella asked her question.
“I’ve arranged everything for you,” Cedric said.
He didn’t directly answer her question, but the way he acted… Isabella could see it.
2/5 Her clenched fists turned white, revealing the emotions within her.
As Cedric took another step forward, Isabella spoke again “Ced, I’ll give you time. But… please don’t be too cruel to me, okay?” “Bella…” “My sister is gone. I regret to say that I no longer have any family in this world,” So, they were both lonely.
Cedric didn’t respond to Isabella’s words.
He simply walked away.
Soon enough, Lily had packed everything for Isabella.
“Miss, let’s go.” novelbin Lily felt some sympathy for Isabella. In the prime of her life, she had lost her sight, and now her wedding with Cedric was also ruined.
What would she do in the future?
Isabella smiled bitterly, and this smile made everyone present feel a twinge of sympathy.
Apart from Cedric’s responsibility towards her, she was now a person without any prospects.
The woman’s life was already difficult, and with the unexpected turn of events, it became even more pitiful.
“I just adapted to the structure of this place, and now I have to leave,” Isabella said sadly.
Being blind, adapting to the structure of a place was not easy. Going to a new environment and adjusting to everything there–compared to an average person, she needed much more time.
How many more changes would there be in her life?
Just as Isabella left, the butler received a call from Cedric, Instructing him to restore everything in Scarlet Villa to the way it was when Natalle was there.
Everything related to Isabella was to be cleared away without a trace.
“Hurry, get everything moving!‘ the butler directed the servants.
3/5 Since Isabella came in, the things that originally belonged to Natalie have been cleared away to the basement by Cedric for reasons unknown, They were fortunate that when Cedric ordered them to throw everything into the basement, they didn’t take the initiative to throw everything away.
Who could have expected such a drastic change in the Johnson family and Scarlet Villa?
The truth was out, and Natalie… was gone!
While Isabella was in the car, she received a call from abroad. on was saying. They conversed in low tones, so Lily and others couldn’t hear exactly what the other person They only felt that Isabella’s aura was colder than before. Then they heard Isabella respectfully say, “I understand” She sounded like she was restraining herself. There was a hint of resistance in her posture, yet she didn’t dare to confront the person on the other end. After leaving Scarlet Villa, Cedric went straight to the company. A lot had happened recently, but he knew that Jonathan wouldn’t force a direct confrontation with him. But Irwin was different. Stella meant a lot to him. Although Jonathan had sent Irwin out of the country, Irwin would return soon. “Mr. Johnson,” Lucas greeted in concern as Cedric walked in. The affairs of Sylvan Gems and the eastern suburbs were currently under investigation. Everything had been pinned on Natalie before. Now that she was gone, it was still a cause for concern, especially with Cedric knowing everything “What is it?” Cedric asked. “Mr. Frazier’s people are still investigating the eastern suburbs matter,” Lucas said with some concern. Although Irwin had been sent away, it wouldn’t be easy to sweep the matter regarding the eastern suburbs under the rug so easily. Moreover, when Cedric initially intervened in the eastern suburbs, it wasn’t directed at Irwin but because. of the connection between the eastern suburbs and Natalie. Instead of directly responding to Lucas’s words, Cedric said, “Inform the HR department to dismiss Yuvan.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 245-Like a Wandering Corpse Upon hearing this, Lucas was momentarily stunned.
Dismiss Yuvan?
That was a little expected, considering Yuvan had been close to Isabella.
To say that Natalie’s matters weren’t entirely related to Isabella… was impossible.
It was also unlikely that Isabella was utterly uninvolved in everything Christina had done.
Cedric’s intentions for sparing Isabella while dealing harshly with Christina remained unclear.
Isabella had only moved out of Scarlet Villa, and Cedric hadn’t taken any action against her.
Was it due to insufficient evidence, or were there other reasons?
Even Lucas, who was closest to Cedric, didn’t understand.
“Mr. Johnson, where are you going?” In Lucas’s contemplation, Cedric had gotten up and casually grabbed his coat before heading towards the exit.
Cedric stopped at the doorway without turning around. There was an endless sense of melancholy.
around him. Even from a distance, Lucas could feel the heaviness in Cedric’s heart.
Closing his eyes, Cedric took a deep breath and said, “Don’t stop Natalie’s or Irwin’s people.” Zane, whom Natalie had asked to do a handwriting analysis, and Irwin’s people who were looking into the eastern suburbs… In short, Cedric was ordering the withdrawal of all personnel that had been dispatched when he asked.
Lucas to obstruct everything!
Lucas was shocked, and he looked at Cedric with disbelief.
“Sir…” Did Cedric know exactly what he was saying?!
If Natalie’s or Irwin’s people found something, they would turn Radiant Tower upside down!
Even Cedric himself might pay the price for it. Didn’t he care about that?!
However, Lucas sensed the desolation in Cedric’s departing figure and instantly understood.
Cedric had lost everything.
He had wrongly accused Natalie and even destroyed her with his own hands, leaving her to reside in hell.
together butt He had felt so deeply about their ten years together, but those memories now pained him like nothing. before.
And now, there was a deep regret.
Cedric didn’t want to do anything anymore.
When Natalie was still alive, she had been looking for evidence related to the eastern suburbs and Sylvan Gems, At that time, Cedric wanted to throw her into prison. She wanted to find evidence to counterattack, leaving it to the final showdown to determine who would be defeated and sent inside.
In the end, she lost and was taken into custody.
And now, Cedric had lost as well.
He indifferently awaited the punishment that belonged to hirm, no longer making any resistance.
One day later, the sky was filled with dark clouds and distant thunder, hinting at an impending storm.
The atmosphere was heavy at Simeria’s Ice City Cemetery, affecting everyone’s hearts.
Soon, large raindrops began to fall, along with muffled thunder.
Kyle stepped forward, holding an umbrella.
“Mr. Johnson, let’s go back,” Kyle said solemnly.
They had used quite a few connections to come here. Soon, Stephen would probably find out about their presence.
Yet, Cedric seemed to ignore Kyle’s words. He stared at Natalie’s serene smile on the tombstone’s picture.
The inscription only had two words: Natalie Walker.
Just those two words.
There was no mention of her being anyone’s wife or daughter. She was buried here alone, 7:5 Just as she had come into life, she had also left it cleanly.
Only her name remained behind in this world.
The way she had cleanly cut off her connection to this world left a somewhat bitter feeling in Cedric’s chest.
There were fresh bouquets in front of the grave, indicating that someone visited her every day after the funeral.
Cedric tossed aside the flowers, replacing them with his own in the center.
She didn’t like those flowers She loved lavender She loved lavender, not chrysanthemums.
Kyle had never seen Cedric this childish before, but he remained silent.
Cedric broke the silence and said, “Kyle.” “Yes, sir?” “Prepare to move the grave.” “W–what?” Move the grave?
Natalie had just been buried; wouldn’t that be inappropriate?
Would it not disturb her final resting place?
Cedric touched the photo on the tombstone.
The rain and wind fell on his face, the wetness made the raindrops and his tears indistinguishable. It seemed that only on rainy days like these could a man shed tears freely.
“People say that fallen leaves return to their roots. She’s from Verde City,” Cedric continued.
She grew up there, went to school there, and her home was also in Verde City.
So, why bury her in Simeria?
It was a simple and calm statement, yet it touched even Kyle, usually as unyielding as a stone.
Fallen leaves return to their roots.
That was why Cedric specifically came to Ice City Cemetery to bring Natalie back home..
She loved children so much and cherished their Scarlet Villa. novelbin Hence, he wanted to bring her and the child back home.
“Yes, sir.” Kyle swallowed his objections.
Cedric merely wanted to bring his wife and child back home, and there was nothing wrong with that.
He didn’t need to explain anything to anyone.
After all the breakdowns, what remained now was Cedric’s calmness. He carried out everything with rationality, but everyone around him could see that this calmness was a desperate facade.
It was as if he was fulfilling a mission or doing something final.
What would happen afterward?
No one knew!
When Stephen received word about Cedric’s actions, he rushed to stop him.
The older man regarded Cedric with cold eyes and said, “Why treat her like this? You won’t even leave her. in peace after her death?!” Stephen’s tone was particularly cold.
Cedric didn’t look at Stephen. He probably didn’t have the courage to.
He had done so many evil things to Natalie while she had been alive.
It had affected the people around her–Stephen, Irwin, Winona… He had done more evil deeds than in his previous life.
In his last life, he had hurt only Natalie..
In this life, he didn’t even spare the people around her.
Faced with the sharpness in Stephen’s eyes, Cedric dryly replied, “She was afraid of loneliness.” “You’re wrong, she wasn’t afraid of loneliness. She was afraid of you!” Cedric remained silent, the air around him turning colder.
When did it start?
When did Natalie begin to fear him?
Indeed, compared to loneliness, he was the most terrifying person in her world.
He ruined her in two lifetimes. He condemned her to the fate of being burned alive each time.
Wasn’t he scarier than loneliness?
Yet, even so, what did it matter?
He still intended to bring her home.
Seeing Cedric’s insistence, Stephen chose not to continue arguing with him. However, he wasn’t so lenient when it came to the matter involving Winona.
Now that Cedric had stopped interfering with everything in Verde City, things were going smoothly for Natalie and Irwin’s people.
Stephen believed that soon everything would be revealed!
With all the paperwork completed, the cemetery staff opened Natalie’s grave.
They respectfully handed Cedric the small urn covered with a white cloth containing her ashes.
“Mr. Johnson, you can leave with Ms. Walker now.” Cedric looked at the small urn held by the staff. There was also a photo of Natalie on it.
How could they treat his Nat like this?
How could they confine her to such a small box?
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 246- I’ll Take You Home Trembling hands accepted the small box, and in the next moment, he pulled it tightly into his embrace..
Holding her tightly, he tried hard to feel her heartbeat.
However, there was nothing She was gone.
He was unable to feel it anymore, just like in his previous life.
Even after she had been saved from the fire, she couldn’t open her eyes.
“Nat…” Holding the small box tightly, the pain in his chest suffocated him.
Why? Why did fate give him a chance, but it had to start from this moment, from… a time that was similar to his previous life.
He was powerless as he watched the flames before him, and the moment of despair began for him.
Why didn’t they give him a place to start that could prevent all tragedies? Why did they make him endure such pain again?
Cedric’s heart resented heaven in hysterics.
If only he had been given one step earlier… If it was the day before the fire… If he had gotten his memories earlier, then these tragedies wouldn’t have…!!
It was too late.
Unfortunately, it was too late..
Two lives.
Things changed, people changed, but the tragic outcome remained unchanged.
“I’ll take you home,” Cedric sald with a choked voice after a long time.
Home.
Finally, they were going home.
When Stephen arrived at Red Wine Estate, the doctor was dressing Natalie’s wounds.
At a glance, he saw the hideous scars on her arm and neck and only a slight injury on her face.
But even so, Natalie had endured a lot of pain these past two days.
“Ouch!” When the cotton soaked in medicine touched the wounds and the doctor gently cleaned them with tweezers, Natalie hissed sharply.
Since her rebirth….
She had been a strong person, but tears overflowed uncontrollably at this moment The man in a white coat looked at her with a gentle expression. He stopped to relieve her from the pain for a while. novelbin Then he spoke gently, “Sorry, it hurts a bit. Bear with it.” “Yeah,” Natalie gritted her teeth.
But the next moment, a neatly folded tourniquet was handed to her.
“Your l*ps are bleeding.” The implication was that if she couldn’t bear the pain, she could bite on it.
Natalie looked closer at the man in front of her for the first time.
“Thank you.” Taking the neatly folded tourniquet, she bit into it, but it still couldn’t alleviate the pain in her b*dy.
The man treating her was Jason Summers, the best burn specialist in Simeria.
Rumors had it that after he treated a patient’s burns and they underwent plastic surgery, the chance of complete recovery was extremely high.
He was also the fourth son of the Summers family.
Due to his dislike of business, he went against his father’s financial profession and chose to study medicine from a young age.
Moreover, there were more than twenty hospitals in Simeria. He was a solitary person and never did ப The fact Jason was here and treating her showed how much effort Stephen had spent to find him.
“Ugh!” Natalie groaned in pain once again.
Cold sweat had already formed on her forehead.
Jason was a silent and reserved person. Because he had seen so many patients, he knew that some pain had to be endured.
But at this moment, a trace of darkness appeared in his eyes as he watched Natalie’s petite b*dy.
continuously shiver.
He said, ‘You probably need to endure this pain for about a week‘ Natalie was silent.
A week?
Just listening to it made one’s chest tighten, and besides, this kind of pain wasn’t just for a few minutes!
Due to the large burn area and the fact that she couldn’t use many medicines now, the pain she had to endure was even greater “Why don’t you want to use anesthesia? The man handled her wounds while chatting casually, trying to divert her attention.
And when asked why she didn’t want to use anesthesia, Natalie’s heart trembled.
The sweat on her forehead slid down again. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and said, “Although I didn’t want the child in my stomach, I think…” At this point, Natalie paused. Evidently, she felt that she sounded ridiculous.
Even if it was ridiculous, so what?
“For the pain, I can bear as much as I can for the childr After saying this, she felt the man stiffen.
She didn’t want to continue this heavy topic.
What kind of existence was the child to her?
She liked the child very much.
She loved them very much, but what could she do?
She couldn’t keep this child.
She wasn’t a good mother, but she wanted to try to be a mother who protected her child.
Even if it was just for a short month, a week, even a day…!
She hoped that during the time the child was in her b*dy, they could suffer a little less.
“There are many ways to handle things in this world. You don’t have to solve it in such a painful way.” The man said in a deep and profound tore.
However, Natalie was stunned by Jason’s words.
There were many ways to handle things?
Was that really true?
For the child between her and Cedric, could there be other ways to deal with removing the child?
The two looked at each other in silence, and Jason carefully applied medicine to Natalie.
Natalie’s thoughts drifted away as if there was no pain on her wounds.
Until the end, she didn’t groan in pain again.
After it was over, Jason gave her a few more instructions before he left. The medical assistant who followed him quickly packed up and followed.
Natalie looked towards the door and saw Stephen and Jason talking. Then, Jason nodded respectfully and left.
Stephen looked at Natalie, who was already half–asleep.
Since being brought back, her b*dy had been exceptionally weak. She basically spent most of her time in a deep sleep.
Seeing her awake at this moment, Stephen entered. In Just a short period, Stephen seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but it didn’t diminish the noble and elegant aura he carried.
“Your aunt made some light soup for you. Jason said that paying attention to nutrition will help you.
recover laster.” “Uncle.” When Natalie heard her uncle say this, tears welled up in her eyes.
It was true that Stephen had personally brought her back.
However, during this time, she had been unconscious due to so she had never faced severe in Stephen so clearly.
She hadn’t expected Stephen to come to Verde City to pick her up!
Before, when Cedric had caused her to be taken into custody, Stephen had never appeared.
But Stephen had rescued her from that big fire.
“Back then, did you want to die?” The man looked at her sharply.
At his words, Natalie remained silent, not responding Then she lowered her head…!
Her silence added a heavier atmosphere to the entire room.
Stephen’s tone also became more somber. “By doing this, how do you think everyone around you would.
feel? Or do you think it’s worth it for such a person?” “Uncle… Natalie said in a heavy tone.
Tears swirled in her eyes as she tried to force them back. But the tears escaped and fell onto the bedsheet.
No one knew how desperate she was in the midst of that raging fire, and no one knew that at that moment, she had no thoughts about whether it was for Cedric.
She had accepted her fate.
The scalding heat and the moment the intense flames burned her skin reminded her of the outcome of her previous life.
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 247-Affection After Death Those terrifying memories made her fear fire, and even more fearful… was fate and the inevitable end of fate.
She struggled so hard against fate and refused to bow down, but in the end, she couldn’t change the outcome.
It was so ni “You’ve disappointed me greatly this time!” Stephen said these words angrily and walked away.
Natalie sat on the bed, stunned.
For a long time, she couldn’t recover from Stephen’s disappointment.
Those words felt like stones ruthlessly smashing into her heart, causing her rationality to retreat continuously Not long after, Heather came in carrying soup.
When she saw Heather, there was a suffocating feeling in Natalie’s chest. She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.
Heather approached and said, “You still have serious injuries on your b*dy, and this kind of mood is not conducive to recovery.” “Aunt.” Natalie choked out the words.
She wasn’t living in the Jarvis family’s main residence, Lotus Villa, right now. Instead, she was in Red Wine Estate.
Winona’s fiance had an accident, and they should blame or even hate Natalie.
Why were they by her side at this moment?
Natalie tried hard to look into Heather’s eyes, hoping to see something, but… she saw nothing.
Heather scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew on it, and then placed the spoon on Natalie’s l*ps.
“Drink” “Aunt?” Natalie wanted to ask something but didn’t know where to start.
From Heather’s tired and sorrowful eyes, she could see that something had really happened to Winona.
If so, how could Stephen and Heather still…?
Before she could figure it out, Heather said, “Nat, some things are not as you see them. Your main focus now is to recover from your injuries.” “Aunt, Winnie…” “Don’t mention her!” Before Natalie could finish her sentence, she was angrily interrupted by Heather.
Natalie was startled by the rebuke.
There was a hint of bitterness in Heather’s eyes, then she calmly regained her composure, as if that outburst had never happened.
Natalie was speechless In the three months they spent together, Heather had always been gentle. She had never seen such a malicious look in her eyes.
So, why was that glimpse of malice just now?
Was it directed at her?
It was possible.
Heather should blame her!
After all, Winona’s fiance, Joshua Sharp, had died. If he hadn’t, Winona would be married right now.
But because of Cedric’s revenge on Natalie… “I’m so sorry!” Natale finally said, However, Heather did not respond to her apology. She just quietly fed her soup.
The atmosphere between the two became somewhat tense.
Especially the touch of malice in Heather’s eyes just now seemed to push a once gentle woman to the point where she almost wanted to harm someone!
When she thought of this, a self–deprecating feeling arose in Natalie’s heart.
Even if her aunt were to stab her now, or if the soup she was being fed was really poison, she would willingly drink it.
Her journey of rebirth this time was so terrifying and miserable. She had dragged everyone around her down and led herself to such a miserable state.
Once the bowl was empty, Heather got up and turned to leave. When she reached the door, she turned back and looked at Natalie.
“Nat, in the future, you’re the only child we have left in the Jarvis family!” Natalie was silent.
Only her?!
What did that mean?!
Natalie wanted to ask, but Heather had already stepped out. Her words left Natalie in a state of confusion.
What did being the only child left in the Jarvis family mean?
What happened to Winona?
Had something also happened to her?
Thinking of this possibility, Natalie’s eyes widened, and her face drained of all blood.
On the other side, Cedric finally returned to Verde City with the urn.
Kyle followed Cedric, thinking that after Cedric brought Natalie back to Verde City, he would find a place to bury her.
However, that didn’t happen!
Cedric directly brought the urn back to Scarlet Villa.
The entire Scarlet Villa was in a state of panic!
After all, accompanying the urn like this made people shudder at the thought.
Rebecca received the news and hurried over. Cedric was having a meal, and Natalie’s urn sat to his right.
Rebecca almost fainted from anger when she saw this.
Are you crazy?!” She approached the dining table and raised her hand to knock over that ominous thing.
3VS When Natalie was still alive, it had already been troublesome enough. Now that she was dead… it was. still unsettling!
However, Cedric caught her wrist in a forceful grip.
“She’s dead, and you’re still laying your hand on her like you usually do?” Cedric looked at Rebecca with cold, sharp eyes.
Such a gaze made Rebecca pause.
Her heart was pounding.
What did he mean by that? Was that a question, or was it a resentful complaint?
Originally, she had the intention of accepting Natali. But who would have thought there would be so many complications behind this?
Especially now that she was dead.
Facing Cedric’s sharp and icy eyes, Rebecca tried to steady her mind and maintain a calm tone.
“Ced, she’s already dead. Do you want her to haunt you for the rest of your life?” Enough!
It was really enough.
After so many years, couldn’t he let go even after her death?!
Do they still have to eat and sleep together even after death?
What the hell was this?
If this got out, what would people think?
Cedric gently released Rebecca’s wrist and said, “She was married to me for several years, and you hurt her for several years. Can’t you let her go now?” Rebecca was silent.
At his words, her face turned pale!
Cedric was stating it so plainly, mentioning how she had hurt Natalie for years without accusing her directly.
However, his tone hurt more than any accusations he could have thrown at her.
“Ced, it was because…” “Enough!” Cedric ruthlessly interrupted Rebecca’s words.
Undoubtedly, Cedric didn’t want to hear anything now.
it was meaningless now.
Rebecca felt her heart ache.
No one knew how much pain she felt as a mother, especially seeing Cedric having a meal with Natalie’s ashes, There was definitely no mother in the world who would want to see her son like this.
“I know Natalie was important to you, but she’s already dead. Can’t you let her rest in peace?!” From being angry, Rebecca now felt nothing but helplessness and heartache when she saw Cedric’s cold and distant expression Cedric seemed as if he hadn’t heard Rebecca’s words at all. He indifferently placed Natalie’s ashes on his left side.
His careful actions showed that he was putting all his efforts into protecting her.
Rebecca’s heart felt a chill as she watched his movements.
“People say the dead should rest in peace-” “She’s afraid of loneliness!” Cedric immediately cut off Rebecca’s words.
Rebecca was speechless, and her already pale face became even whiter.
So, was he going to accompany Natalie in this way?
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 248-Christina Has Gone Mad Rebecca was currently overwhelmed.
Initially, she was already frustrated when Christina was taken away.
Now, with Cedric acting like this, it added to her distress.
The rumors surrounding the Johnson family are spreading like wildfire, especially concerning their adopted daughter.
“Ced, Tina can’t stay inside. Her presence there has a certain impact on our family,” Rebecca said urgently.
In influential circles, reputation was closely tied to businesses. Rebecca’s words are an attempt to persuade Cedric to let Christina go. She knew that Cedric was the one to have handed over the evidence.
However, Cedric seemed to ignore her words. He calmly lifted a glass of red wine and took a sip.
Rebecca became more anxious. “Although she’s not your biological sister, she grew up with you. How can you do this for the sake of an- “She wasn’t an outsider!” Cedric looked at his mother again, his eyes filled with disappointment and sorrow.
See?
Every time Rebecca mentioned Natalie, he could basically guess what she was going to say.
An outsider?
Hah…!
So, how did his mother treat this outsider when he wasn’t around Natalie?
Rebecca was momentarily stunned. When she saw the pain in Cedric’s eyes, she finally realized that she of him. couldn’t treat Natalie so casually in front “I wasn’t going to say that.” “Then what was she? How did you see her?
Two sharp questions left Rebecca speechless.
She wanted to ask more, but seeing Cedric’s expression, all words were stuck in her throat.
Onginally, she wanted to plead for Christina. But looking at Cedric’s current state, she knew there was not However, his living with Natalie’s ashes at Scarlet Villa was something Rebecca couldn’t accept.
“In any case, you should let her rest in peace!” She had to think of some other way to deal with what happened with Christina.
But regarding her son, she wasn’t going to watch him sink into despair.
This time, Cedric doesn’t argue. He simply said, “Yes, she will” Rebecca should have been happy with this answer. However, Cedric’s words sounded like he had let go of everything.
just letting go of Natalie, but also letting go of himself.
Was this indicating that he was going to follow Natalie?
“Ced…” When Rebecca thought of this, her voice started trembling No, it couldn’t be!
Cedric remained silent, quietly eating his food. It was as if Natalie was still sitting there, elegantly enjoying her meal just like before.
Ever since he moved to Scarlet Villa, Cedric had always sat in that seat with Natalie by his side.
Occasionally, he would place some of Natalie’s favorite dishes on her plate.
Just like now.
He removed the fat from a piece of pork and left only the lean meat on Natalle’s empty plate.
Rebecca felt numb watching this. She realized that there was no point in saying anything to Cedric at this moment.
Eventually, she turned and reluctantly left.
Christina was currently being held in the central detention center, undergoing continuous interrogations.
Despite the relentless questioning, she insisted that Isabella gave her the card.
During this time, Isabella was also brought in. However, unlike Christina, Isabella was released within two 15 BON On the other hand, Christina hadn’t been able to leave since she entered.
“I want to see my brother.” That had been Christina’s most frequent request these days. She just wanted to see Cedric However, the response she received was cold.
“All the evidence has been verified now. Your request is meaningless.” “I want to see my brother.” Christina looked at the person in front of her with madness in her eyes.
She had gone mad, finally driven to madness When the person said that all the evidence had been verified, her days of perseverance were completely.
shattered.
No matter what she did over the years or whenever people around her began to suspect her, she always found a way to escape without being doubted.
How many times had she thrown dirt on Natalie? She even wanted to forget every single incident she had done!
She would always remember how she successfully broke Natalie each time. She had always been flawless in her planning.
Clearly, everyone was on her side.
So why?
Why were these people interrogating her day and night?
Why didn’t Cedric come to see her yet?
Even her mother, who used to adore her, hadn’t come!
“I didn’t do it! It wasn’t me!” That was the only thing Christina could say after all the questioning.
She was smart and knew that until someone from the Johnson family arrived, denying everything was the best strategy.
Don’t answer any questions directly.
“Ms. Johnson, what we’re asking is…” “Don’t ask anymore! I don’t know anything!” Christina screams in despair.
She refused to speak or say anything. She believed that the Johnson family would come for her.
They must be angry now. But once their anger subsided, they would come to take her away.
Christina didn’t believe that the Johnson family would abandon her.
But thinking about how Isabella was now being protected by Cedric, even though Isabella participated in everything she did… Why was Christina the only one undergoing this interrogation?
What about Isabella?!
Christina clenched her teeth even tighter when she thought about Isabella, refusing to admit anything.
The waiting was the longest and most agonizing.
Christina didn’t know how she managed to last inside the detention center.
Once, in the face of irrefutable evidence, Natalie still had room for resistance. She was inside, but there were many people outside helping her.
However, Christina had been inside for a full two weeks. Not a single person had come to see her.
No one has cast a glance at her.
She didn’t even know if someone outside was helping her like they did for Natalie. Would the Johnson. family help her this time? Did Cedric still trust her?
The longer the time went on, the more she lost confidence in this.
A person without confidence was destined to gradually descend into despair.
Finally… After half a month, someone came to see her.
She thought Cedric had forgiven her and finally agreed to take her out.
However, to her surprise, the person she saw in the reception room was not Cedric or Rebecca but… Wanda!
It was just a servant from the Johnson family.
“Wanda?” Christina looked at Wanda and glanced behind her. There was endless disappointment in her eyes.
Seeing Christina looking so gaunt, Wanda’s eyes were filled with pity.
“Oh, Ms. Christina. You’ve suffered so much.” Wanda, whose hair had turned considerably white, looked extremely haggard at this moment. Christina ignored all of this and coldly asked in a disgruntled tone, Where’s my mom?”
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 249-No One Wanted Her Anymore As soon as Christina asked about Rebecca, a hint of displeasure flashed in Wanda’s eyes.
Rebecca was a sore subject for Wanda, but she managed to keep her anger hidden from Christina.
She replied, “Madam has been busy lately.” “What about my brother? Christina sneered..
This laughter could either be mocking herself or ridiculing everything she had before.
Busy? What could be more important than her?
Wanda looked at Christina and said in a restrained tone, “Master Cedric’s recent condition is also a cause for concem “What’s wrong with my brother?” Christina panicked when she heard something was wrong with Cedric. She genuinely liked her brother. even loved him.
So, she might not care about the others in the Johnson family, but she worried whenever she heard that Cedric wasn’t doing well.
Seeing Christina’s concern for Cedric, Wanda couldn’t hold back her anger anymore.
“How can they just ignore you?” This was the person who truly cared about the Johnson family!
Wanda was furious.
Christina remained silent. novelbin “Madam has been busy with company matters lately. Master Cedric, he… When it came to Cedric, Wanda hesitated.
Christina grew impatient at the silence and urged, “What is It? Tell me!” God knew she had been unable to get any news from the outside world during this tedious and agonizing time.
The thing she most wanted to hear in this dull and tormenting period was news about Cedric, Wanda looked at Christina a few moments longer before finally saying. “That woman is dead.” Dead.
Christina already knew this.
So, what did Wanda mean?
“Master Cedric carries that woman’s ashes with him every day at Scarlet Villa. He doesn’t step out of the villa, and the company is being neglected.” “Madam is too busy with the company to think about you. But you grew up in the Johnson family. You’ve called them grandmother, mother, and brother for so many years. How can they just ignore you like this?!” Wanda became angrier as she spoke.
When Christina was brought in this time, Wanda thought it wouldn’t be a big deal. Rebecca would certainly not ignore her.
However, in this short period, she witnessed the true colors of human relationships, To Rebecca, Christina was merely a leisurely pet, a plaything to showcase her kindness. When things.
really went wrong, she wasn’t that important.
As for Cedric, all his attention was on that dead woman now.
While Wanda continued her rant, Christina’s mind buzzed, and she couldn’t hear anything.
All she could think about was Cedric spending every day with Natalie’s ashes at Scarlet Villa.
Was that woman so important to him?
She was dead. Yet, he carried her ashes with him?!
“Ms. Christina? Miss?” After talking for a while, Wanda noticed that Christina wasn’t listening, and her complexion was turning paler.
Hearing Wanda’s voice, Christina snapped back to reality. She looked at Wanda, and overflowing tears.
replaced the coldness in her eyes.
Startled by the tears in Christina’s eyes, Wanda asked, “Miss, what’s wrong?” “You said he carries Natalie’s ashes with him every day at Scarlet Villa?
Every word was filled with pain.
As Christina asked this question, it seemed as if she couldn’t hear her own voice.
Was Natalie so important to him?
Was she important enough for him to disregard everything else? Even the company?
When talking about this matter, Wanda became even more furious..
“Exactly! She’s dead yet still occupies the position by his side.” Christina fell silent and didn’t respond.
No one knew how desperate she felt at this moment. When she schemed against Natalie in the past, she once thought Natalie was just like those other women with how Cedric treated her.
If she drove her away, it would be done.
However, Natalie lingered for years, mainly because she was too skillful it caused Christina much irritation.
a Since she had such skills, Christina decided to compete with her. So, like a madwoman, she relentlessly accused Natalie, preventing her from having peace.
Finally, Christina won Cedric threw Natalie into prison. That meant Natalie’s place in Cedric s heart was nothing more than that.
But now, hearing Wanda say that Cedric carried Natalie’s ashes every day at Scarlet Villa, neglecting the company and everything else, she finally realized that Natalie was different from those other women.
She truly occupied a significant portion of Cedric’s heart.
“Hahaha… Hahah! Hahaha…” Christina laughed hysterically.
Christina had lost.
She had completely lost.
The outcome of the battle came unexpectedly, catching everyone off guard.
Who could have thought that Christina would truly lose like this?
She suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, startling Wanda.
34 “Miss, what are you doing?” Wanda asked.
“You can leave,” Christina said, suppressing her laughter. In her eyes, there was a touch of desolation.
“Miss.” “Thank you. It turns out you’re the one who cares about me the most in the Johnson family,” Christina said with a mysterious look fixed on Wanda.
In the end, who could have imagined that the first person from the Johnson family to visit her would be Wanda?
She lost not only to Natalie but also to herself. She was too confident, thinking that the Johnson family was truly her home and those were her family members.
In reality, it was not her home. Those were not her family members, and Cedric… had no place for her int his heart.
Ever since she fell in love, she had been calculating and scheming against every person close to Cedric.
She had even plotted Natalie’s demise.
“Miss, you need to pull yourself together. Madam will be done with her busy schedule soon, and she’ll come to pick you up,” Wanda said with concern.
However, Christina seemed to ignore her words and said, “Whether I go out or not, it doesn’t matter anymore.” “What are you talking about? How can you think like this?” Wanda became anxious after hearing Christina’s words.
Christina remained silent, her eyes filled with sorrow. After pursuing him for half her life, she finally woke up to the realization that if it wasn’t meant to be, it wasn’t meant to be.
Even if she schemed someone to death, it wouldn’t make him hers.
She had realized this a bit late, but not too late.
Without Cedric in her world, what meaning was left in her life?
A Divorce After My Rebirth Chapter 250-The Person Behind Isabella After Wanda left, Christina didn’t know how she returned to her cell.
She felt a bit dazed, her mind overwhelmed by everything that happened at Scarlet Villa. She had gone mad with jealousy, a jealousy she never thought she would feel towards a dead person.
But she was jealous.
“Hehe, I lost!” She mocked herself, laughing until tears streamed down her face.
No wonder nob*dy bothered to check on her during this time; they were all busy with their own priorities.
Rebecca’s love was always selfish. Even though she adopted her, she never held Christina in high regard.
Her kindness was only because Christina looked good and had some uses.
Now that Christina was locked up and couldn’t be of any use, she had undoubtedly become infamous outside. To Rebecca, Christina was useless now.
As for Cedric… She had pinned all her hopes on him. But now, he had shattered all those hopes.
She had truly lost.
During the next interrogation, Christina said, “I want to see Isabella. Finally, she changed her tune.. Previously, she insisted on seeing Cedric and Rebecca the most, but now… she wanted to see Isabella.
When she said this, her face was expressionless. It seemed like everything had returned to calm after the world had turned upside down.
Her emotions were no longer as agitated as before.
The people questioning her exchanged glances and eventually granted her request.
Two hours later, Isabella arrived.
In the reception room, Isabella waved her hand near her nose somewhat disdainfully. Even if she couldn’t see, she could smell Christina’s wretched state.
Christina was disturbed by Isabella’s actions. She was the one who looked disheveled now, but Isabella….
This was the first time Christina had seen Isabella since she had been brought in.
Isabella still looked clean and pure. Regardless of gender, anyone seeing her In this state couldn’t help but feel pity. Yet, now she was using this appearance to show disdain for Christina?
It was truly laughable.
“Tell me, how did you manage it?” Christina looked at the blindfolded Isabella and asked sharply.
She didn’t believe that Cedric would still protect Isabella as before.
He felt so deeply for Natalie that he would even throw Christina in here to rot. Christina had grown up with him!
It was impossible that Cedric still trusted Isabella!
So, why was Isabella still doing so well?
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Isabella said with a light smile, a tone filled with victorious satisfaction.
Christina’s expression instantly darkened.
Satisfaction? Such an expression had always been exclusive to her.
How could Isabella show such a feeling and direct it at her?
“Do you have someone backing you?” Christina tentatively asked, her voice beginning to tremble in this probing inquiry.
Even before Isabella could respond, she had already started believing her own statement.
There must be someone!
Yes, Isabella must have someone behind her, or else… she couldn’t possibly appear so radiant in front of her now.
Smirking at Christina’s question, Isabella’s smile widened.
“I really don’t understand what you’re saying.” “Isabella!” “If you’ve called me just to say these things, I think it’s meaningless and a waste of our time.” “You were clearly involved in everything. How can you wash your hands of it so cleanly? There must be someone backing your Christina said confidently.
Yes, there must be someone behind Isabellal As she looked at the woman in front of her, who had once cooperated with her, she thought Isabella was Yet, Isabella had gradually surpassed her. She had driven Natalie into the abyss and replaced everyone else in Cedric’s life.
Christina had once looked down on this woman, thinking she was just a useful tool.
Now, looking at Isabella, Christina’s eyes were filled with fear, especially with that strange smile on her l*ps.
“You…” Christina’s face turned pale. She wanted to say something, but nothing came out. At this moment, she even forgot why she had asked to see Isabella.
Isabella stood up, adjusting her white dress with a hand, every movement exuding grace. This elegance. seemed as if she had received special training in a high position.
Where was the roughness that one would expect from growing up in difficult circumstances? Especially with her unabashed elegance, it was as if she was deliberately and quietly admitting that all the things she had said before were lies!
“Isabella, you’ll have a miserable end!” Christina finally stammered after a long time.
She deceived everyone.
What was her purpose?
Deception shrouded Christina. She was filled with anger and resentment, yet it was all in vain.
She couldn’t understand Isabella’s motives.
Why did this woman hate Natalle so much? Did she genuinely fall in love with Cedric now, or did she have ulterior motives?
Various thoughts swirled around Christina, leaving her in turmoil.
“I’m just a blind person. What can I do?” Isabella stood not far away with a strange smile on her l*ps.
Her words plunged Christina into despair.
Christina claimed Isabella was involved in everything, but Isabella… was just a blind person.
What could she possibly participate in?
Even if she presented all the evidence, people would likely think she was scheming against a blind person.
1/4 “You better pray you’ve hidden all your trails well; otherwise, your fate will be worse than mine!” Christina said menacingly.
So frightening… This woman was so frightening However, Isabella responded only with a mysterious smile. She said nothing more before turning around and Билеа novelbin Watching her retreating figure, Christina shivered.
She needed to see Cedric. She must see Cedric. She had to tell Cedric that Isabella had someone backing her… That woman was filthy! They shouldn’t be together!
“Ms Johnson, this way, please!” “I want to see my brother. I want to see Cedric!” Christina shouted as if insane.
rable Regardless of the punishment she received or the miserable outcome she faced, no matter how they abandoned her, she loved Cedric.
She would not allow such a harmful woman to be near him!
She was wrong, truly wrong.
If he wanted to love Natalie, let him love Natalie.
But how could he let a malicious woman like Isabella stay by his side?
