Chapter 89 Never Hesitated to Divorce
“W–what’s going on? Christina nervously looked at Rebecca.
A sense of danger was flashing in her mind!
Why would Rebecca suddenly make such a request, asking Christina to treat Isabella better if nothing had
happened?
Christina had been living by Rebecca’s side for many years, and she knew very well what kind of person
her adoptive mother was,
She was a proud and arrogant woman. If Isabella hadn’t done anything to her, Rebecca wouldn’t have
changed her views so easily!
Rebecca looked at Christina and took a deep breath. When she next spoke, her voice betrayed her unease.
“She is your brother’s benefactor and… our family’s benefactor.”
“Benefactor!?” Christina was taken aback.
“Yes,” Rebecca nodded.
Rebecca began recounting the events of that incident, which had haunted her for many years. Even
though it had happened many years ago, it still gave her nightmares from time to time.
No matter how strong she appeared on the outside, she had her own vulnerabilities.
And Cedric…!
Cedric was her son, and the most fatal weakness she had.
Rebecca retold the story from beginning to end. The more Christina heard, the more her heart churned.
She had never expected Isabella’s brother, Ivan, to have such a deep connection with their family.
Rebecca concluded, “She’s Ivan’s only family in this world. So naturally, we have to treat her well.”
Yes, you’re right…” Christina echoed with a forced smile.
But in her heart, turmoil raged,
She watched Rebecca speaking with unexpected tenderness when mentioning Isabella.
het kind of person was leabella? 11 wasn’t as if Christina didn’t know!
How could Rebecca show such kindness to someone so easily?
Isabella… Christina had truly underestimated that woman!
Christina had finally managed to drive Natalie away, and now there was Isabella!
With how easily she could captivate the hearts of the Johnson family members, Christina knew she had
her work cut out for her.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Isabella realized that her attending physician was missing. She tried calling
him, but none of the three calls had been answered.
Just then, a nurse entered the room.
“Ms. Morgan.”
“Where did my attending physician go?” Isabella asked.
“Dr. Landry is in charge now,” the nurse replied.
“What do you mean?”
“Dr. Walton has resigned.”
“Resigned? Isabella was surprised. She tried to hide her growing panic. She looked at the young nurse with disbelief.
The nurse nodded. “Yes, he resigned. He already stopped working here.”
Upon hearing this, Isabella’s heart skipped a beat. Her complexion worsened, and she couldn’t believe it. She didn’t even know when the nurse left.
She tried calling Dr, Walton again.
Now she realized that it wasn’t because he was too busy to answer her calls, but rather… because he was avoiding her.
Hah, He truly dared to do this!
Each lime she called, there was no answer.
The moment she hung up, Christina called her.
“You really have some nerve,” Christina sarcastically said over the phot
Isabella had never considered Christina to be worth her attention, but now she asked, “Was Dr. Walton
resigning your doing?”
“I don’t
know what you’re talking about.”
“Christina, are you trying to burn your bridges?” Isabella asked sharply.
From the beginning to the end, all Christina wanted was to make Natalie and Cedric divorce.
Now that they were divorced, there was no longer any use for Isabella.
Christina sneered. “Burning bridges? Are you talking about yourself? You openly claimed that
You openly claimed that you woul never be with Ced, but you’re secretly using underhanded methods to make my mother like you!”
Christina understood that Elizabeth would soon learn of this matter. Once she did, Isabella would become a completely different existence within the Johnson family.
Christina had been so focused on her goal of getting Natalie out of the family. She had completely overlooked this approaching threat!
Isabella was a much more complicated person to deal with compared to Natalie!
When Natalie was part of the Johnson family, she hid from all troubles. But Isabella… she had taken all the members of the Johnson family into consideration in her plans.
If she managed to enter their ranks.
Christina didn’t dare imagine what would happen.
Christina couldn’t let that happen. She would make sure Isabella never entered the Johnson family.
“Isabella, I warned you not to think about things you shouldn’t. If you persist, don’t blame me for retaliating
After her stern warning, Christina hung up the phone.
Isabella’s face turned somewhat unpleasant, and a glint of malevolence flickered in her eyes.
Unbeknownst to her, Christina was not the only threat around her. Natalle was a threat as well, and she

In Cedric’s office, Natalie had taken the initiative to visit him. Cedric’s expression had softened somewhat, but he was still tense as he looked at the woman before him.
So what if they were divorced? She was still his!
Natalie handed him a bag, and Cedric did not immediately open it.
He asked in a somewhat unfriendly tone. “What is this?”
A complex array of emotions passed through his refined features. From his perspective, Natalie had
caused too many problems recently, and her actions against Isabella had disappointed him.
Now, she was pulling out documents or something of the sort, making him think she was up to something.
Was it concerning their marital property?
He had already given her an equal share.
Noticing Cedric’s inaction, Natalie said, “Go ahead, open it.”
It was a big surprise!
Seeing that Cedric was still not moving, she got up and expertly slotted herself beside him. She took the CDs from the bag and inserted them into his computer. 1
Her movements were so familiar that they made his heart race. After all, she had visited this office many times before.
She had also helped him with numerous matters. Everything was so familiar, with the only change… being their relationship.
“Have you ever hesitated for a moment about divorcing me?” Cedric asked Natalie, his tone weighed down by his inner emotions.
Natalle glanced at him.
It had to be said that this man was truly tall, or perhaps she was just short.
She was standing now, yet she was only as tall as he was sitting. They looked at each other on the same

How could this man be so heartless?
Why had he started the fire that took her life in her previous life?
How could he be so cruel?
She had been carrying his child at the time!
Her breathing felt constricted.
“No,” she responded.
Just as he had been ruthless enough to let her die in the past, she was equally unwavering in putting.
