Chapter 153 The So–Called Carefree Life
The Johnson family had always been conscious of their image and cared deeply about appearances.
Now, they found themselves unexpectedly entangled in such a mess.
What on earth was happening?
Rebecca and Elizabeth were both relatively traditional women, so this situation was beyond what they
could accept.
“W–what is going on?” Rebecca’s mind was completely in chaos at this moment.
What was happening here?
Isabella was Natalie’s sister.
Natalie was Cedric’s ex–wife.
And now that Natalie had divorced Cedric, Isabella was residing in the Johnson Manor?!
The relationships were getting incredibly complicated!
Natalie interrupted her thoughts and said, “What’s happening? I don’t have time to explain to you.”
Glancing at her wristwatch, she ignored Rebecca and walked away.
“Wait!” As Natalie reached the doorway, Rebecca called out. Her face was pale, and even her voice was
trembling!
Natalie paused and turned her head slightly. “Is there anything else?”
“Then… What do you think of her?” Rebecca blurted out, referring to Isabella.
In her current state of confusion, Rebecca even blurted out such a question!
Isabella was Natalie’s sister. But based on their previous involvement, it seemed that they didn’t have a
good relationship.
Natalie responded sharply, “What do you
think?”
Even a fool could piece together this tangled relationship in the shortest time. Isabella had been asking for Natalie’s eyes for the longest time.
What exactly could Natalie think of her?
“Alright, I understand.”
Natalie was silent.
Rebecca continued, “I’ll handle this matter and give you and Cedric another chance. How about that?”
Even at this moment, Rebecca was still trying to negotiate.
But she was not a fool.
The delicate handling of such an unsightly relationship required caution, and it would reflect the attitude
of the Johnson family.
However, Rebecca’s self–righteousness made Natalie laugh.
It was a laugh full of irony.
“A chance? Haha!*
Without providing a direct response, she left without looking back.
A chance between her and Cedric?
Natalie found the idea amusing
She didn’t even have a chance for herself, so how could she provide a chance to someone else?
Although the relationship between Rebecca and Natalie had not improved, at least Rebecca had taken a step forward, even if it was one–sided on her end.
However, the situation in the Johnson Manor was different.
At this moment, Christina smiled smugly as she looked at Isabella lying on the bed.
“I gave you freedom, but you didn’t appreciate it!”
“Christina, you’ll meet a miserable end!” Isabella shouted feebly.
But her voice was barely audible, indicating how weak she currently was.
Christina’s triumphant expression faded, and a sinister glint flashed in her eyes.
Everyone outside is saying that the Johnson family is repaying you by bringing you to live in the manor.
They say you’ll live a carefree life for the rest of your days, and that you’ll also enjoy wealth and prosperity!
Carefree life? Wealth and prosperity?
Hahl
“I want to see him!”
Isabella didn’t want to talk much with Christina. In this short time at the Johnson Manor, she had already faced the hardships head–on!
Christina’s hostility, especially, was the main reason her days were unbearable.
Isabella couldn’t even think about her revenge against Natalie at this moment.
In fact, did Natalie ever have a good time in the Johnson family?
Christina was Rebecca’s adopted daughter, and she received much affection from Rebecca. Rebecca
also trusted Christina a lot, and she was also against Natalie.
In short, Natalie’s life here must have been hell.
In that case, didn’t Isabella indirectly save her?
Forcing Cedric to divorce Natalie was the real salvation from hell.
But what about Isabella now?
Was this some kind of retribution?
“See him? Isabella, you still don’t understand what’s going on, huh? Mom said you two absolutely cannot be alone privately!”
Christina’s tone was even more triumphant when she spoke these words.
Isabella’s face turned pale.
She wasn’t allowed to be alone with Cedric?
Didn’t that mean they were preventing her from seeing Cedric?
Despite their claim of repaying a debt, it was more of…!
abella’s heart skipped a beat, and a bitter taste rose in her throat. However, she firmly shoved those feelings away.
Christinar
Tve said it before, I don’t have any feelings for him!”
“Who believes your nonsense?” Christina retorted harshly just as Isabella finished speaking.
Isabella’s lips quivered.
She hadn’t expected that in such a short time, she would be trapped in a cage that was the Johnson
Manor.
Before she could respond, Christina continued, “Whether it’s in Verde City or outside Verde City, how many people admire him? How many people have I gotten rid of?”
Isabella remained silent.
“I’ve seen people like you countless times!”
“Christina!”
“Do you know what those people said when I caught them? ‘I have nothing to do with him. It’s not like you
think. I have no feelings for him.” Hah!”
Christina said the latter parts while mimicking Isabella’s tone. The mockery in her tone caused Isabella’s
feelings to show more clearly on her face.
What a demon!
Christina was a demon!
That was Isabella’s thoughts. Christina… was the biggest demon behind the scenes!
“So, are you trying to tell me that you also orchestrated Natalie’s days in the Johnson family?” Isabella asked.
“People who admire him won’t have a good ending!”
Every word from Christina was ruthless and filled with venom!
Isabella’s complexion had turned a ghastly pale. She couldn’t believe entering the Johnson family would become her worst nightmare.
From Christina’s words, she could gather a glimpse of the kind of days Natalie had experienced in the Johnson family.
She wanted to close her eyes, but there was no sensation. The darkness that met her open eyes was forifying
She felt helpless and desperate, but there was nothing she could do.
Since moving into the Johnson family, Rebecca hadn’t visited her once. The genuine emotions expressed
in the hospital were now replaced by indifference.
Even Cedric hadn’t come to see her.
“Christina, you’re so ruthless!”
“Hmph!”
*Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Madam Johnson about your true colors?”
Isabella brought up Rebecca, but it only made Christina burst into laughter.
“You still don’t get it? Not letting you be alone with Ced was Mom’s idea.”
Isabella was shocked and speechless!
Her last hope was crushed!
If this was Rebecca’s decision, she wouldn’t be able to see Cedric even if he came to the Johnson Manor!
“Isabella, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t take it.” Christina said triumphantly and left, her high heels
echoing in the distance.
Listening to the fading sound, Isabella frantically stood up and fumbled towards a nearby cabinet. Midway, she tripped over a chair and fell to the ground. Her legs throbbed in pain, but no one paid
attention to her.
They promised to take good care of her after she moved into the Johnson family, but now…
The pain in her legs was excruciating, and it took a while for her to stand up. When she did, there were beads of sweat on her forehead due to the pain.
