Chapter 108 Amazing Woman
Rebecca looked at her with a deep sense of disgust. Then, she unabashedly said, “I’ve really underestimated you. How dare you?!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Natalie replied, a phrase she had heard too often recently.
Rebecca continued, “How could you treat Isabella like that? Do you realize that your actions could ruin
her life?”
Natalie was silent.
“What happened to the teachings I imparted to you? It’s as if our family wasted our efforts letting you in!”
Rebecca grew angrier as she spoke.
Thinking about Isabella’s miserable state in the hospital, she wished she could gouge out Natalie’s
beautiful eyes and transplant them into Isabella’s eye sockets!
Natalie was washing her hands at the sink, and she froze for a moment after Rebecca finished speaking.
She looked at Rebecca through the mirror with a cold smile on her lips.
“Since when did you start caring about Isabella?”
“I’m talking about your…
“Teachings?” Natalie finished Rebecca’s sentence, tearing off a piece of tissue to wipe her hands.
She twirled a lock of her curly hair with her slender fingers and turned around.
With a smile on her lips, she faced Rebecca and said, “Who do you think you are? You really think too highly of yourself!”
With a swift and arrogant movement, she crumpled the tissue into a ball and flicked it at Rebecca!
Then, Natalie confidently walked away.
Her departing figure also looked so arrogant!
was seething with anger. She had witnessed Natalie’s changes during this period, but such nadeness and arrogance…!
After walking a few steps, Natalie suddenly stopped. She turned around and smirked.
So, what right did Rebecca have to lecture Natalie?
Rebecca’s face turned red with anger.
She had never been fond of Natalie. However, she had grown accustomed to bossing Natalie around over
the years.
With this sudden change, Rebecca felt uncomfortable.
Not only that, she was thoroughly infuriated by Natalie!
She picked up her phone and called Cedric. He answered quickly and asked, “What’s the matter?”
His tone wasn’t very pleasant.
He was deliberately suppressing his emotions!
Seeing that there was no one around, Rebecca didn’t hold back and angrily questioned, “Why is she still outside? Didn’t you say she’s already in prison?”
“Are you still protecting her?”
At this moment, all Rebecca could see was Cedric protecting Natalie. Even as she became so unbearable, her son was still shielding her?!
What about the suffering Isabella endured? Did that not matter?!
On the other end, Cedric pinched his nose irritatedly. His head was throbbing, and he thought about Natalie’s provocative attitude towards him and the situation in Isabella’s hospital room last night.
The smell of blood had been so thick in the air!
His eyes darkened.
Before he could say anything, Rebecca continued to shout over the phone, ‘Cedric, I’m telling you now that protecting her like this is equivalent to covering up a crime! Do you understand?!”
Don’t you know how cruel she is? How many more people do you want her to harm by keeping her outside? How many people do you want to see maimed or lose their eyesight before you realize how despicable that woman is?
one she spoke the andrin
She thought about Isabella’s miserable state and Natalie’s arrogant attitude just moments ago.
That was her true nature!
Reflecting on her interactions with Natalie over the past few years, Rebecca shuddered. Thankfully, in countless nights and days, Natalie’s cruelty hadn’t turned towards her.
Otherwise…
“If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up!”
Cedric’s headache was getting worse, and he didn’t want to hear anything more from Rebecca.
“You dare…!”
The
response to her words was the sound of the call being disconnected.
At this moment, Rebecca’s face turned ashen, and she resisted the urge to smash the phone!
After Natalie came out of the restroom, she sat back down across from Irwin.
Irwin caught a glimpse of Rebecca following Natalie and then understood what had happened.
He raised the glass of red wine in his hand and elegantly took a sip, causing Natalie to harshly swallow.
Lowering her head, she stuffed a piece of steak into her mouth.
He looked simply enchanting right now!
“How is it going with the Johnson family?” Irwin asked Natalie.
Natalie replied, “I’ve already divorced him.”
She said it indifferently, seeming casual. There was no hint of the melancholy tone in her voice, as if divorcing Cedric was a breeze for her.
But in reality, she didn’t know how she was able to suppress the emotional turmoil of their ten–year relationship.
Inwin said, “I’m not asking about that. I mean, they seem unwilling to let you go
This statement made Natalie pause.
In an instant, the smile was back on her face.
“Yeah, they’re still treating me the same way out of habit!”
Like Rebecca, who thought that things were still the same when Natalie had been in the Johnson family.
Back then, Rebecca could do whatever she wanted to Natalie.
Irwin was silent.
Natalie said these things casually, but the bitterness beneath the surface was evident.
Irwin wanted to say something comforting, but he realized that it was inappropriate for an outsider like
him to comment on matters concerning the Johnson family.
“You’re amazing!”
After a long pause, Irwin complimented Natalie with these words.
Natalie’s smile widened. She lifted her glass of red wine and took a sip. “I feel the same.
Many women, after divorce, would feel desolate for a long time. Some dared not divorce due to economic dependence and would compromise with the man and his family.
However, giving in did not guarantee respect.
That was Natalie’s greatest realization in this marriage.
Soon after Natalie finished her meal, she and Irwin were about to leave when she saw Christina running out of the private room in tears.
Rebecca followed after her with a somewhat impatient look on her face. It looked like something significant had happened inside the room.
As they exited, Rebecca subconsciously glanced at Natalie with a look of cold arrogance.
“Let’s go. I’ll drop you off at your company,” Irwin said as he stood up.
Natalie shook her head. “No need, I drove here!”
However, the situation with her car was complicated.
Cedric was such a jerk! She had no idea when he became so uncontrollable emotionally, even to the point. of crashing into her carl
simply chuckled
Natalie was silent.
What a true devil this man was!
If it weren’t for the fact that she had failed her first marriage, she would have taken the initiative to pursue
this devil of a man!
But she wasn’t worthy of him.
Irwin… he was too perfect. He was so perfect that one could only admire him from a distance and not
dare to approach him.
She took a deep breath and said, “Sure.”
When he put it that way, how could she refuse?
Besides, Irwin was a significant client of hers, and he had also introduced so many clients to her!
In this regard, Irwin was an absolute figure she couldn’t offend. He was someone she had to cherish.
The two walked together to the parking lot.
Irwin furrowed his brow when he saw Natalie’s car, “Did you get into an accident?”
“A dog was chasing me!”
Natalie’s mood took a deep plunge when she recalled the incident..
