Rebecca swiftly stood up from the sofa and walked out. Elizabeth exclaimed, "Where are you going?!""Scarlet Villa!" Rebecca said and left.Elizabeth was speechless.Glancing at Christina, who was equally stunned, she scolded, "Why aren't you following her immediately?!"It was already late in the night, and Elizabeth was anxious. Cedric's relationship with the family already wasn't great because of Natalie. And now, all this trouble because of a woman named Isabella! It was undoubtedly causing great anxiety for everyone! Christina quickly followed her out...!-Karina acted swiftly. She approached Natalie and said, "Everything has been arranged!""...""Your health isn't very good. The hospital will prescribe some medicine to temporarily regulate your body. They've scheduled the surgery for half a month later!"At this moment, Natalie was looking at her phone. Karina's words hardly elicited a response from her. She was staring blankly at it!Karina stepped forward
After all, Natalie had suffered enough.So, before Cedric tried to establish such a relationship with Isabella... Rebecca wouldn't agree! Even if Natalie wasn't Stephen's nice, Rebecca would still never agree to Isabella being her daughter-in-law!"She's Ivan's only sister in this world.""But there's no need for you to dedicate your whole life to taking care of her!" Rebecca's tone became solemn.Ivan's sister?! It was like a curse. It lingered around the Johnson family and couldn't be shaken off no matter what they did! Indeed, looking at it now, wasn't it true?"What other feelings do you want?" Cedric mocked, looking at Rebecca.His gaze made Rebecca instantly uneasy. "What do you mean?"The implication was that, after the incident with Natalie, he started to despise even the notion of feelings. After all, the ten years of emotions with Natalie proved to be unreliable. So now... Was he implying that, without Natalie, it didn't matter who he spent his days with?
At this moment, she stood at the doorstep. She pressed the doorbell repeatedly, but no one came to answer. Looking at the dark villa with no lights, she realized that Irwin probably hadn't arrived yet.As the cold wind blew, she felt a chill running through her body. Taking out her phone, she dialed Irwin's number. Beep!The phone rang continuously until it automatically hung up, and still no one answered.Natalie adjusted her coat. Suddenly, there was a weight on her shoulder. It was Leon! A black windbreaker draped over her, and he said, "It's quite cold." The man didn't say much, and Natalie nodded without refusing. She was indeed feeling cold; perhaps it was due to changes in her body. During this period, she would shiver at the slightest breeze.In her previous life, Scarlet Villa went up in flames shortly after she learned about her pregnancy. Looking back now, she had already forgotten what it felt like for a woman to be pregnant. But now, she could feel the chan
"Alright!" Leon took note of the information Natalie provided and nodded. It seemed that Leon had the necessary resources.As Leon turned to leave, there was a knock on the study door. "Who is it?""It's me." Nigel's voice came from outside.Leon glanced at Natalie, who placed the relevant materials into a drawer. "What's the matter?""There are some guests downstairs. They claim to be here regarding the eastern suburbs project."Natalie and Leon exchanged glances. Regarding the eastern suburbs project? Downstairs, Natalie saw the people in uniform and knew the situation was truly pointing in her direction.Jonathan had taken away Irwin, and now, her movements were further restricted due to the events in the eastern suburbs and with Sylvan Gems."Ms. Walker, we need to conduct a detailed investigation for the eastern suburbs project. Would you please come with us?" The leader of the group spoke politely.Though polite, Natalie understood. If she went with them tonight
It wasn't easy to break Cedric's love for Natalie. It was hard enough to pry him away from her, and Christina had done everything in her power to do so!And then, Isabella appeared! She was even more formidable, and Christina didn't see any hope for herself at that time.Thinking about all these things, Christina's heart clenched painfully!For so many years... She hadn't had any support!Elizabeth acted like no one was worthy of her grandson. Rebecca was even worse. She made it seem as if no one in the world was suitable for Cedric!And yet, Rebecca now seemed obsessed over getting Natalie back together with Cedric just because she was the successor of Regal Horizons International!Even with the earth-shattering news going around, Rebecca could easily attribute it to internal conflicts within the group.It did nothing to waver Rebecca's obsession and change of attitude towards Natalie. Now that Wanda had expressed her support, Christina felt like she had seen light in the
The voice was like a restrained soul. It had been unnoticeable once or twice, but now it was more prominent. It was so clear that it seemed he could hear it.He had heard it countless times.It was obvious Natalie should pay a price for her actions! She deserved it!But every time he did something to her, that voice deep within his heart would constantly interfere. It made him endlessly annoyed."Go and take a look," he finally said coldly."You mean Ms. Walker?" Lucas asked."Yes."As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from the pack and lit it. He took a couple of deep drags, and only then did it ease the oppressive and irritable feeling in his heart.Lucas made a U-turn, and the car turned onto the road leading to the police station.Just then, Cedric's phone vibrated.He pressed the half-smoked cigarette into the car's ashtray and picked up the phone. He glanced at the number, and his eyes narrowed.He massaged his throbbing forehead.Answering the call, he said, "Hel
The medical staff and Leon frowned as they looked at Natalie.Leon stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Let's discuss everything once we're out of here."Undoubtedly, now that Irwin had left Verde City and they couldn't reach Stephen, Cedric would be wishing for her death.The only way for her to escape was through this child.That was how important the child was to Natalie's survival right now.Would Natalie not know the significance of the child?She never planned to use or involve anyone throughout her life, in this life or her previous one.It was also the same now.So, of course, she understood the child's importance!"Leon, you don't understand," Natalie said to Leon, her tone calm yet mysterious.As a mother, being unable to protect her child was the greatest punishment for a woman.How could she resort to any means to use her child?More importantly, if she left here because of the child, Cedric would surely find out.She... didn't want to create more trouble.
Leon looked at her. From the silence in her eyes, he could sense her unspoken resilience and stubbornness.She wouldn't surrender, even if the whole world abandoned her now.She would continue to do what she needed to do.Cedric had pushed her to this point for Isabella and Christina, intending to keep her imprisoned forever.Yet, she refused to admit defeat."What do you want to do? I'll take care of it for you," Leon didn't directly answer her question, but the implication was evident.She couldn't have any contact with the outside world right now.Natalie didn't know why Leon was an exception."Just call Zane and tell him to carefully compare the previous documents," she said."Yes, ma'am.""Also, tell him to go to the relevant agency to check the signing time on my handwriting with the time below!"Despite the interrogations, Natalie remained clear-headed about what she needed to do.She would continue denying those so-called evidence. She would investigate it on her ow
