last update Last Updated: 2023-11-06 16:22:44
While she was planning to divorce Cedric, it wasn't as if she felt nothing when people portrayed her in that way.

Who would willingly accept unfair treatment?

Unfairness was one thing, but having to endure humiliation time and time again was quite another.

Natalie glanced at Rebecca. In her all-black evening gown with her hair elegantly coiled up, Rebecca truly exuded the presence of a queen.

Even her speech carried irresistible authority.

In the past, Natalie had been driven to lose her patience when confronted with this kind of gossip. She would retreat to the kitchen, which led people to assume that the kitchen was where she belonged.

A smirk tugged at her lips. "I'm afraid not. After all, I'm still the young mistress of the Johnson family, aren't I?"

Rebecca retorted, "You've got some nerve!"

"Enough!" Cedric intervened just as Natalie was about to continue.

He swept her into his arms in a protective manner and said firmly, "She's the young mistress of the Johnson fam

    Just as Christina was about to take hold of Natalie's wrist, Cedric pulled Natalie to his side and said, "She'll be accompanying me to meet some people. Find someone else to go with you."With so many debutantes present, choosing someone she didn't get along with was a clear indication of Christina's intentions. Cedric had previously turned a blind eye. He thought Natalie could handle everything, and he believed she had taken things well. However, he hadn't anticipated the mess that had been brewing behind the scenes.Christina glanced at Cedric resentfully. In the past, this look would have gotten her anything she wanted from him. But now, Cedric firmly held onto Natalie and said, "Let's go!"His attitude was unwavering. He had no intention of giving Christina an opportunity to spend time alone with Natalie. At this point, Natalie understood Cedric's intentions. He was declaring his attitude towards her in such a domineering manner, making it clear to the people of the John

    Rebecca was seething with anger. The room was buzzing with discussions. Cedric stared at Natalie, his eyes filled with icy rage. His clear and handsome face was filled with anger towards her.Previously, their arguments had always been kept behind closed doors. Even when some of it was exposed, nobody knew the full extent of it. But now, it was out in the open. What was this?!Did she truly want to get rid of him so badly, even resorting to such an extreme measure? That was how Cedric saw it.Natalie had used an extreme method, didn't she?She had done it on purpose.It definitely was on purpose!Her attitude towards Isabella had always been indifferent, but now...! He could see the disappointment and despair on Natalie's face. There was also genuine hatred in her eyes.Cedric wondered what he had done to make her hate him so much.He clenched his fists.Staring at the small woman before him, he said, "Natalie, go home immediately!"Even at this moment, Cedric was

    Christina concealed her joy and approached Rebecca. She supported her while looking somewhat regretful and said, "Mom, don't be angry."In her tone, there was a hint of relief. With Christina's assistance, Rebecca came to stand in front of Isabella. This was the moment when Yuvan wished he could disappear.What should he do now? Cedric had left, leaving him to deal with this hot potato."Get out of here, right now!" Rebecca's tone was far less patient when addressing Isabella. She no longer needed to maintain a façade of tolerance, as she had with Natalie.Natalie had been the Johnson family's young mistress for many years. Even though Rebecca didn't like her, she had to be somewhat polite in front of so many guests. However, when it came to Isabella, there was no need for any such courtesy.Just a short while ago, Rebecca had to keep her composure with Natalie, but now she could vent all her frustration on Isabella."Mr. Johnson has already left, yet she still dares to sho

    In the car, Natalie gazed out of the window. The passing streetlights illuminated her petite face, which appeared so beautiful yet carried a sense of melancholy.Karina hadn’t attended the banquet. She had simply arrived to pick up Natalie after the event. Upon seeing Isabella also leaving the place, she could already guess what had happened that night! Handing a bottle of water to Natalie, she said, "Have a sip.""Thank you," Natalie replied, taking a few sips. The coolness in her chest brought her a slight sense of relief."Karina, why do you think people get married?" Natalie suddenly asked.During the seven years of dating Cedric, Rebecca obviously already didn't like her. But at that time, they were not burdened by the constraints of the Johnson family. Even if Rebecca didn't favor her, she couldn't control Natalie. However, since she and Cedric had married, problems had begun surfacing between them, and the pressures from the Johnson family had almost suffocated her.

    Cedric was silent at Hayden's words.A relative?! At that moment, a glimmer of hope rose within him, but it quickly vanished as he shook his head. "She doesn't have any living relatives."Cedric... was her only living relative through marriage.Yet now, she no longer wanted him as her family. Her world would be empty. The thought of her ending up like that pained Cedric deeply."I know you said before that her parents died when she was very young, and her grandmother passed away without saying anything to her. But could it be that her grandmother still has other relatives?" Isaac pondered.Other relatives?! Cedric replied, "If she did have relatives, she would have told me."After all, they had always been open with each other!Open... The word brought back a deep, lingering pain in Cedric's heart. How long had it been since they truly opened their hearts to each other?"It's hard to say!" Isaac said.In any case, Isaac couldn't believe that Natalie would look for

    Cedric's mind exploded upon hearing the news that Isabella was in the emergency room. Without wasting a moment, he got up, threw on a jacket, and rushed out. The butler saw him coming down, and his expression turned confused. Cedric hadn't even changed his clothes before leaving, which indicated that something urgent had occurred.-Compared to Cedric's restless night, Natalie had a peaceful night's sleep. Even though she was briefly interrupted by a call from Isaac, she quickly fell back asleep after hanging up. Now, she was already at her office.Karina stood before her, and they were discussing work matters. "Mr. Frazier will be going to the eastern suburbs in the afternoon. If you're available, you should also head there. He's a major client, and we need to pay special attention to him."Natalie nodded. "Yeah, you're right."Even without Karina's reminder, she had already intended to go.Karina continued, "We've taken on a new project, and I've already assigned it t

    It was a pitiful situation for a woman when her marriage with her husband reached this point!Wanting to take Natalie's eyes to save another woman...!And he even had the gall to say it was temporary!The fact that he could say these words had made the woman who had fallen in love with him suffer a lifetime of misfortune!-Early in the morning, emotions were running high for Natalie. The atmosphere at the Johnson Manor wasn't much better. Rebecca made a phone call to the Lambert family early on, presumably to apologize for the events of the previous evening. However, she didn't expect Amelia's response to be a gentle but firm rejection of the proposed alliance through marriage."Isabella!" Rebecca hissed.She understood that this rejection was likely due to Isabella. The fact that Cedric hadn't divorced Natalie yet and allowed both the mistress and the legitimate wife to attend the banquet was an insult to anyone. In the past, the Johnson family was seen as a prestigi

    After Karina left, Natalie picked up her phone and returned Stephen's call. Her phone had been damaged when she threw it in Verde Biotech Ventures, so she hadn't received his earlier call. Stephen was quick to answer her call."Uncle," Natalie greeted."There's something off about Isabella's situation," Stephen said instead of a greeting."What is it?" Natalie asked."You two... Are you sure you didn't know her before?""I'm sure," Natalie replied. She was certain that. Before the events of the previous lifetime, she had never met Isabella. Therefore, she had no idea what role Isabella played in her world!"I need to confirm this matter," Stephen stated."Is there a problem?" Natalie couldn't help but ask."Don't you find it strange that everything she's been doing in Verde City seems to be aimed at you?"Natalie was silent.Of course it had been aimed at her.Whether it was the kidnapping, the public opinion, or the ocular implant now, everything was a well-laid tra

    Bianca was still pondering how to reject Malcolm. Undoubtedly, even when she sought him out a week ago and proposed they get married, she hadn't truly wanted to marry him. As she contemplated things now, she even anticipated how crazed Malcolm might become when she presented her decision.Her phone buzzed with a call from Malcolm. In the past, Bianca would have ignored it outright, but now... she wasn't one to burn bridges."Hello?""I'll be there in ten minutes. Come down.""It's quite late."Just like before, whenever this man wanted to talk to her, especially about meeting up, she couldn't muster a pleasant expression.The man on the other end of the line simply stated, "I want to see you."Bianca’s heart clenched at those words. She was accustomed to Malcolm's cold, domineering demeanor. Even when he desired a woman, he maintained that haughty attitude. So, hearing such tender words from him was beyond her expectations."Hmph.""Come down, okay? I have a surprise for you."

    As Zane reached halfway up the hill, he noticed a familiar car parked outside. Neil, the butler, was waiting outside, and upon seeing Zane return, he approached respectfully."Lord Zane.""Who's here?" Zane frowned, glancing at the brightly lit villa.What was going on? Usually, this place was dim in the evenings, but today, everything was unexpectedly bright."Ms. Stewart has returned," Neil replied.Zane's mind went blank for a moment. He stared stiffly at the butler, his pupils rapidly constricting."Ms. Stewart arrived this afternoon."Yvette!The familiar name flashed through Zane's mind like a gust of wind. How many times had he wanted to hold onto her? But in the end, for various reasons, he had to let her go bit by bit.And now, Yvette was back!Where had she been all this time?Since leaving Simeria, it was like she was a bird that had escaped its cage and soared into the sky, never to return. Zane had asked the Stewart family about her once, but even they didn't kn

    "Maybe something happened," said Bianca.Natalie felt her eyelids twitch in response. What kind of terrifying situation was this?"When I say 'something happened,' I don't mean anything bad, but..."But what?In that moment, Bianca's gaze toward Natalie deepened, and she understood what her friend meant."You mean...?" asked Natalie.Bianca nodded silently.Natalie fell quiet as she pondered the situation.What if that was really the case?Natalie couldn't help but admit that if it truly was, it would naturally be a favorable outcome for her."Don't forget, if he can come, he can also leave. He can't change anything here, so it's better for him to return to the world he belongs to," Bianca explained.During this time, Natalie had transformed Simeria into a fortress. But even in such circumstances, Cedric had mysteriously vanished. Up until now, there hadn't been any clues. Even Kyle had been through so much, yet hadn't uttered any useful information.So, it had to be said t

    Bianca’s calmness and composure, despite her young age, spoke volumes about how her experiences and wisdom had shaped her thoughts.Curtis, initially worried about her, felt somewhat relieved seeing the tranquility and maturity in his daughter’s eyes.He nodded slowly. "Hmm."In the end, he agreed.After all, she was his daughter. Despite not being raised by him since childhood, Curtis could see it clearly. Like her mother, Bianca would stick to her decisions, impervious to outside interference.Seeing Curtis finally eating, Bianca felt a sense of relief. After lunch, she considerately accompanied her father for a stroll before allowing him to rest.When Carol emerged from Curtis' room, she saw Bianca waiting nearby and hurried over respectfully."Miss.""How is he?" Bianca inquired."Sir is still worried about you, miss," Carol replied sincerely.Having been by Curtis' side for many years, Carol naturally understood Bianca's significance in his heart.Bianca sighed. "It wil

    As she spoke, Seraphine felt the already dangerous aura around the man grow even darker, sending her heart racing. She tried to speak, but found herself speechless."Hmph, you useless thing!" Zane cursed menacingly.Cold sweat soaked Seraphine's back completely."There must be a way," she choked out, her tone tense.At that moment, Seraphine recalled what Zane had said to her before she came back to Simeria.He had told her that he never kept useless individuals around him. To gain his protection, one had to be useful. And now, Seraphine's only use—her engagement to Malcolm—had been effortlessly annulled."Heh," Zane sneered disdainfully.For Seraphine, this disdain was not only humiliating, but also starkly different from her experiences with Eleanor. In Eleanor's presence, she had never faced such disrespect. But now, it seemed like anyone could trample on her.In the past, even members of the Entes family wouldn't openly show contempt towards her, but now… Those past comfort

    Seraphine had always harbored resentment towards Bianca. But Bianca had always been a rather composed individual, rarely resorting to such actions.So, what was she doing now?"You..." Seraphine's initial fury had been turned to speechlessness by Bianca's aggression.When Seraphine glanced at Bianca, she caught a glimpse of malice in the other woman's eyes.Before Seraphine could utter a word, Bianca bluntly asked, "You know, don't you?"Seraphine stayed silent.Know what?"You knew that Lord Malcolm and Lord Zane are half brothers You also knew why Lord Zane sought you out and took your side, right?" Bianca continued.Seraphine's face drained of color in an instant. And every subtle change in her expression was noticed by Bianca, whose eyes were filled with icy mockery.Stepping forward, Bianca gripped Seraphine's delicate chin. Seraphine instinctively tried to evade, but Bianca's hold was firm."You still dare claim this is your home?" Bianca scoffed."This has always been

    When would the cycle of revenge end?While Bianca hadn't decided what to do about Eleanor's actions, Zane had already shown his claws.When would it end?If someone kept chasing after a person, what could they do?"Bia…"Curtis wanted to say something to his daughter, but was met with her unwavering gaze. Clearly, she wouldn't back down this time, just like her mother never did when faced with such situations. Both women faced things head-on, without flinching."Don't worry, okay?" Bianca reassured Curtis.There was another reason she was insisting on staying in Simeria—Bianca knew Curtis wouldn't leave with her. So, she wouldn't leave either.-Bianca and Curtis talked for a long time.Curtis still wanted to send her abroad, but her resolute attitude left him powerless. Moreover, from various pieces of information gathered earlier, it was clear that Bianca was a strong-willed child.No matter what problems she faced, she had her own opinions. So, asking her to leave was s

    When Bianca returned to the Holly family’s residence, she found Curtis staring gravely at some documents. When he started coughing violently, his face turning as pale as a sheet, Carol hurried over to check on him."Sir, let Ms. Bianca handle these documents. Please don't strain yourself," Carol said, her tone full of concern."I see now," Curtis muttered heavily, as if he had just realized something crucial.Not understanding what he meant, Carol simply urged, "Your health can't handle this strain. Don't tire yourself out. You must trust Ms. Bianca."Curtis fell silent.Trust?He had always trusted Bianca, but now he regretted bringing her back. If he had never found her, would things be different now?"Where did she go?" Curtis asked."Ms. Bianca went out, but she'll be back soon," Carol reassured him, gently taking the documents from his hands.Ever since Bianca told the older woman about Curtis' health problems, Carol had been extra vigilant, making sure he avoided anythin

    Bianca stared at the dangerous man, memories of their harmonious past flashing through her mind. Those moments had once seemed so genuine, yet now felt laughably absurd."Haha, how ridiculous!" Bianca scoffed, her laughter bitter."Bianca!" Zane's voice was sharp, cutting through her mirth."Zane, what if I reveal your true intentions to everyone? What will they think then?""Who would believe you?" Zane interrupted coldly, not letting her finish.Bianca's smile froze on her lips. He was right.Who would believe her? Curtis might, and so would Natalie. But was their trust enough?Clearly, it wasn't.But did it matter?"It's not your concern who believes me. I have never needed anyone's belief to stand strong," said Bianca.Many had doubted her before, but none had ever managed to break her spirit. The dangers she faced now might be greater, but for Bianca, they were just another set of challenges.She had overcome every hardship she encountered. This time would be no differe
