Chapter 152 Isabella’s Fate
If it weren’t for personally experiencing her tactics, Natalie might have thought that the lady before her was no different from other noble wives.
This kind of gentleness seemed as if Rebecca’s past tactics were truly a process to better Natalie as a
person!
“It’s not really important if it’s resentment or not, right? After all, I no longer have any relationship with you
or the Johnson family!”
Resentment?
For people like them, the best revenge was indifference.
Once, they used to press her down. Now, she stood at the pinnacle, making them look up to her.
That was the true torment for them.
Especially now, Natalie felt a sense of satisfaction deep inside as she watched Rebecca struggle with her
words.
Finally, she could vent some of the pent–up frustration she had for years!
On the other hand, Rebecca tried to maintain a calm exterior. However, she was constantly enduring a
heart–wrenching pain.
“Natalie,” Rebecca said. She felt as if she couldn’t hear her own voice.
Natalie just looked at her silently. She wondered… to what extent Rebecca could go?
However, Rebecca’s pride was nothing compared to what it used to be!
As if she was a different person, Rebecca said to Natalie, “Whatever happened between you and Cedric in
the past… It was all my fault.”
“In fact, you two are perfect for each other!” Rebecca said hastily. No one knew how embarrassed she felt
saying these words.
Hatalle pursed her lips and stared at Rebecca. There was a mocking glint in her eyes. When she heard.
cca say such things, Natalie felt something indescribable inside!

“I know that you probably think I’m here because of your uncle, Rebecca said, trying to break the silence.
*Did I make a mistake in thinking so?” Natalie replied, her tone carrying a hint of amusement and a
mocking smile on her face.
She pressed Rebecca relentlessly.
Her attitude was unyielding, leaving no room for escape. Natalie never would have thought that things would come to such an embarrassing situation between her and Rebecca.
Yet, she was not bothered by it.
Ever since her divorce from Cedric, she had never thought about how to deal with the people from the
Johnson family
Hatred was there, but it wasn’t something she dwelled on.
Natalie never thought of doing anything to get revenge for this hatred. Yet, here was Rebecca, willingly
delivering herself to Natalie on a silver platter.
This made it different.
Rebecca took a deep breath and continued, “You know how it is. In marriages between elite families, it’s a
real disadvantage if one side truly lacks background.”
*Putting aside what happened previously… If Cedric were on the weaker side, do you think your
relationship could have lasted?”
“Madam Johnson, mind your words!”
Natalie’s expression changed.
At this moment, her expression was gloomy. Rebecca was shocked to see how fast Natalie’s expression had changed.
Just as Rebecca was about to say something, the automatic glass door opened, and a well–dressed man stood respectfully at the entrance.
Ma Walker, there’s a document that needs your signature.

on Rebecce, When Zane addresse
It was obvious she was in turmoil internally.
After Zane left, Rebecca said, “Get back together with Cedric and remarry him. I won’t interfere in your
affairs anymore.”
Natalie didn’t respond, but her cold demeanor was clear to Rebecca.
“I know it’s not easy for you, Natalie. But ask yourself, how has Cedric treated you all these years?”
“Every time we had conflicts, Cedric was always on your side and protecting you.”
Protecting Natalie?!
Yes. In Rebecca’s view, Cedric had always protected Natalie.
However…
“No amount of protection can outweigh his own sins!”
Natalie was referring to the matter between Cedric and Isabella.
“There’s nothing between them!” Rebecca shot back.
Whenever Natalie mentioned Cedric’s sins, Rebecca knew she was talking about Isabella.
Rebecca had to admit that she used to be grateful to Isabella because of Ivan. However, now this so-
called benefactor had become a trouble that couldn’t be easily removed.
“And as for Jocelyn, there was never anything between them either! You know that best, don’t you?”
She would say it a thousand times if she had to in order for Natalie to believe that. In Rebecca’s heart, all
the wrongs against Natalie were her doing, and Cedric was blameless.
That was probably how mothers were.
At crucial moments, they protected their sons!
Natalie glanced at Rebecca and said, “Do you think that the conflicts between us are the only reason
things ended?”
Jon’t it?”

“There’s nothing between him and Isabella or Jocelyn,” Rebecca stated.
Previously, she wouldn’t have explained any of this
The worse the relationship between Natalie and Cedric, the better.
But who would have expected Rebecca to personally come to repair this relationship and even humble
herself in front of Natalie?
Before Natalie could speak, Rebecca continued, “Isabella is Ivan’s sister, and she’s naturally the
responsibility of the Johnson family. But, Natalie, you know my temper!”
“I can’t agree to them being together, you know that!”
Natalie knew, and perhaps that was why Rebecca was so desperate.
“Although it’s not pleasant to say such things, Isabella is quite cunning! Think carefully about things
between you and Cedric, hmm?”
Rebecca was applying pressure while saying kind words!
Mockery was not the only thing in Natalie’s eyes.
Rebecca stood up, ready to leave.
Natalie put down her coffee cup and said, “Madam Johnson.”
“What is it?”
“There is no need to consider anything. Let me give you an answer directly.”
“I understand your concerns, but it’s impossible for anything to happen again between Cedric and me. Use this time to find someone else!”
So, it was because of Isabella!
It made sense
Rebecca was truly in a difficult position regarding Isabella. The dynamic between them was different. Aber all, Isabells was Ivan’s sister.
Even if she didn’t agree, she couldn’t be too forceful in her attitude.
That’s why Rebecca was in a hurry, settling Cedric’s lifelong matter like this and preventing any opportunities for others.
The direction Rebecca headed was correct, but she was too greedy!
After hearing Natalie’s response, Rebecca’s expression changed!

Looking at Natalie, a hint of uncertainty flashed in her eyes. “Natalie, he’s always been good to you!”
“What does it matter?”
“Hmm… You might not know this, huh?”
“What?”
“Isabella is my half–sister. We have the same father.”
Rebecca was speechless!
Her mind was blank, and her ears were buzzing. Her vision instantly turned dark
Isabella was Natalie’s sister?!
Before this… Before…!!
Watching Rebecca’s ever–changing expression, Natalie stood up and looked at Rebecca with a smile.
“So, what would happen if she really married Cedric? How would outsiders view your Johnson family?”
Rebecca remained silent.
Her already unfavorable complexion became even more strained at this moment.
