Chapter 178 Strong Contrast

The two of them locked eyes and neither backed down!

The atmosphere around them was tense.

“Natalie, you’re so daring now, huh?”

*Cedric, don’t push me too hard!”

again!”

“It’s not that you can’t see her. There’s a simple solution: just don’t get involved with me!”

Natalie refused to back down..

Christina’s phone call made her understand something!

The start of her relationship with Cedric had thrown many people into chaos. If they went crazy, they

would do so without any limits.

Meanwhile, Cedric had started rumors that they might not be divorced and might even remarry that

afternoon.

And now, he was going to Sapphire alone in the evening?!

Who did he think would bear the embarrassment?!

“Stephen really spoiled you!” Cedric said after a while.

In his eyes, since Natalie got to know her uncle, she had become increasingly arrogant when facing

When rumors about him and Isabella were widespread, it considerably impacted Natalie.

What was he doing at that time?

“Isabella and I are…”

“Not what I thought, right? So, it was the public that didn’t care?”

At that time, the news of him having an affair with his secretary spread throughout Verde City.

Now, he said it wasn’t what it looked like?

He wasn’t even offering a proper explanation!

Hah!

Cedric saw through it. “Are you forcing my hand now?”

Isabella had called him several times tonight, sounding very anxious. Something must have happened.

And Cedric had to admit now that Natalie’s stubborn attitude gave off a confrontational feeling.

Natalie said, “If you already have your mind set on a decision, who can force you, hmm?”

Cedric pursed his l*ps tightly and silently watched her.

The air got increasingly tense, and it felt like a fight would break out at any moment.

Was it a confrontation between Natalie and Cedric?

Or was it a confrontation between Natalie and Christina, Isabella, and others?

She had initially wanted to stay calm and follow Stephen’s advice. She wanted to brush these people

aside as they were not worth her time

In the end, Cedric cradled her slender waist with his strong arms as if wanting to break her. Then, he used his rough fingers to caress Natalie’s bloodied l*ps.

“Natalie, you’re truly a minx!”

“What a coincidence! Don’t you know that minxes love blood? I can’t wait to taste yours!”

The man’s eyes dimmed a bit, and he finally pressed her onto the sofa.

It was not a peaceful night.

Rebecca rushed to Sapphire overnight and appeared at Isabella’s apartment, looking not too pleased.

Meanwhile, Isabella had already gone to sleep.

When she heard Rebecca was here, Isabella hastily woke up. With the help of a maid, she came out wearing a silk camisole nightgown.

Rebecca’s expression darkened.

“If Cedric had come, would you still wear this to meet him?”

Her tone was unpleasant.

There was no longer the gentleness she had displayed in the hospital. After all, she despised manipulative people. Furthermore, it was happening right under her nose, and she was the one being

manipulated!

Isabella lowered her head.

was in a rush.”

Slap! Slap!

Rebecca walked toward her and slapped the maid twice on the face!

The maid covered her face in fear, looking at Rebecca with fear. “M–Madam!”

Tm paying you five times more than the market rate. I didn’t hire you to do nothing. If you can’t even dress her properly, what’s the point of having you here? Rebecca scolded.

Madam, it’s my fault…

It had worked on Rebecca back at the hospital, but now…!

Rebecca glared harshly at the maid she had slapped, then sat on the sofa. She looked at Isabella, who was panicked and lost because of her blindness.

Her eyes were sharp, as if trying to see through Isabella. However, Isabella concealed herself too well, leaving her unable to find any flaws.

“Aunt.”

“Call me Madam, Johnson.” Rebecca’s tone was cold.

Isabella turned pale.

She could clearly feel Rebecca’s emotions.

Looking at how pale Isabella had become, Rebecca closed her eyes to conceal the fierce glint and said, ” Isabella, you’re Ivan’s sister. Logically, our gratitude toward your brother should extend to you. But you should know your place!”

“The change in this situation is too excessive. Ultimately, the gain outweighs the loss, especially since you’re blind now. Without the Johnson family, you’ll have a hard time!”

Rebecca’s words were sharp and straightforward. Her directness made Isabella’s already pale face even

more translucent.

Isabella had to admit that Rebecca had pinpointed her vulnerability accurately. With Isabella now blind, losing the Johnson family’s support would make her life more than just difficult.

“Aunt, I don’t know where I went wrong.”

Isabella’s tone was somewhat choked, and her face betrayed her distress.

Previously, Rebecca had prejudices against Natalie. Seeing Isabella in this state would have softened her heart, and she would have thought that Natalie was the culprit for everything that had gone wrong.

But now, it was different.

After weighing all the pros and cons between the Johnson family and Isabella, Rebecca’s mind was clear.

inging at her watch, she said, “Isabella, you’re clever. You know how to capture someone’s heart.

Tell me, why did you call Ced tonight?”

As soon as Rebecca mentioned Cedric’s name, Isabella understood Rebecca’s intention even more.

Her face drained of all remaining color. She hadn’t expected Rebecca to find out so soon.

Trembling, she replied, “I just… I…”

“No matter the reason, you should be well aware, right? He’s your sister’s ex–husband. Even if they’re

divorced now, what do you think will happen when word gets out that you called your former brother–in- law so late in the night?”

Isabella’s breathing became ragged!

At this moment, she had to admit that Rebecca’s attitude was leaning towards Natalie’s side.

But Isabella was mistaken.

In this matter, Rebecca wasn’t taking Natalie’s side. She didn’t know about what had happened between

Natalie and Isabella.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have allowed Cedric to get involved with Isabella at the hospital.

“Who gave you the phone?”

Seeing Isabella’s state, Rebecca’s tone became even more sharp.
