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 t
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 la
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 pitiful."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 body, 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,
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 cou
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 concern.""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!Wand
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 nobody 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, sh
Isabella fumbled her way out from inside. As soon as she reached the outside, she was picked up by someone, arranged by Cedric to be by her side, but also... not!Lily carefully helped Isabella into the car and whispered in her ear, "Sir just called. He wants to see you." Upon hearing this, Isabella tensed and turned paled.The inner fear surged to the top of her head, causing her to shiver uncontrollably. "Where is he?" Isabella asked, her tone icy.Lily glanced at her and said, "Sunset Racecourse." Isabella's already pale face turned even whiter, and her breath became slightly constricted. "Cedric is in Verde City now. Is it convenient?"Undoubtedly, she did not want to see that person. Lily's complexion changed, and a sinister hint flashed in her eyes. Isabella sensed it and, before Lily could speak, said, "Let's go."-Cedric had gone mad. In Rebecca's eyes, he was a complete lunatic. She suppressed the news of him living with the urn at Scarlet Villa. Howev
Even as things reached a critical moment, Christina still stubbornly held onto Isabella. She did it even knowing that admitting it would bring the heaviest consequences. She was determined to drag Isabella down with her.However, what disappointed Christina was that no matter what she did or how hysterically she demanded to see Cedric, she was disappointed in the end. During this time, Wanda attempted to take the blame for her, but all attempts failed. Christina would face the punishment she deserved for all her wrongdoings.However, even after all her crimes were exposed, Cedric still didn't appear before her. She was at her wit's end. Before going to prison, Wanda came to see her. Christina asked Wanda to pass a message to Cedric, warning him to be cautious of Isabella. Wanda cried as she said, "Even now, you still care about the master, but his heart has always been on that dead person.""Wanda, don't say such things in the future."Christina's tone was unusually indif
