Chapter 110 Christina is Terrified
Natalie didn’t have time to play around with her like this.
So, she called Karina over, who promptly came over.
“What’s going on?” Karina asked.
“Any updates?” Natalie was referring to the private investigator Karina had hired.
Karina checked the time on her wristwatch. “Not yet, but we should get it in the next couple of days.”
“Alright.”
Natalie was genuinely curious about why Isabella harbored such intense resentment toward her. Karina
understood Natalie’s intent.
Isabella’s, arrival in Verde City seemed directly connected to her, and Natalie wanted to uncover the truth
behind it as quickly as possible.
Understanding the sequence of events was crucial for Natalie to plan her next steps.
However, before learning the motives behind Isabella’s hatred, it was impossible for Natalie to trust
anything she might attempt against her.
“In half an hour, the two new designers will arrive. Would you like to conduct the interviews personally?”
“No need. You handle it,‘ Natalie replied. She was more focused on planning the future of her studio.
With the substantial amount of money gained from her divorce from Cedric, Natalle intended d to expand her company. Having reached this point in her career, running just a small studio was no longer sufficient.
After Karina left, Natalie began working on the design drafts for Premier Garden. Unbeknownst to her,
rumors about her and Irwin were spreading outside.
But this time, the public perception was different from before. Following her public press conference, the narrative around her shifted from being a housewife to a career–oriented woman.
Photos of her and Irwin having a meal together were circulated, but reports suggested that they might have a new collaboration.
All the coverage was positive, focusing solely on their professional relationship and avoiding any intrusion into their privacy!
At the hospital, Isabella listened to the nurse reading the news. The resentment in her heart intensified, causing pain to flare up in her wounds.
“Leavel
The news of Natalie’s growing success ignited the flames of jealousy in Isabella’s heart. The sinister aural emanating from her was so tangible that even the nurse felt it and hastily exited the room.
As soon as the nurse left, Christina entered. Her steps were light, unlike before.
“Who is it?” Isabella asked in an unfriendly tone.
She was on high alert and was listening intently. The darkness was truly frightening.
She regretted it!
She regretted plotting against Natalie to the point where she found herself in this situation. The wound on her abdomen still throbbed with pain.
And Natalie?
She was boldly building her career!
Isabella had lost her sight and had taken a stab to her abdomen, yet not a single hair on Natalie was harmed.
“Are you here to flaunt your achievements?”
Christina was silent, and Isabella assumed it was Natalie in the room with her.
Christina narrowed her eyes dangerously.

Before she could say anything, Isabella continued, “Do you think it’s over? Let me tell you, Natalie, it’s not! This is just the beginning! You’ll get what’s coming to you!”
“And what’s that?” Christina finally spoke.
She hadn’t expected Isabella to harbor such intense hatred towards Natalie. Why did she hate her so much?
Isabella was stunned!
She didn’t expect it to be Christina.
Her perception was still too weak; she couldn’t sense who was approaching. Christina had taught her a
Pasort Isabella had to control her emotions, and she was relieved that it was Christine
If it were Cedric….
Pain and helplessness overwhelmed her. She truly regretted it. She hadn’t realized that one’s aura could change so much that she couldn’t even sense who was approaching.
“Why are you here?” Isabella had no favorable attitude towards Christina.
Christina casually touched her red nails, a mocking smile playing on her l*ps. “I came to see what tricks
you had up your sleeves to have bewitched my mother!”
Thinking about Rebecca’s current attitude towards Isabella, Christina was quite anxious. What right did
this woman have to gain her mother’s favor?
Everything in the Johnson family belonged to her–Rebecca’s love, Cedric’s heart–or so she thought.
She had initially perceived Isabella as someone honest and modest, but now it seemed she had underestimated her.
Isabella stiffened at Christina’s words. “I didn’t do anything!”
“Heh, nothing?” Christina’s tone carried an implied threat.
All those people who wanted to have Cedric and stay by his side… Christina wouldn’t allow it!
None of them would be allowed to!
Watching Isabella’s demeanor, disdain flashed in Christina’s eyes. When Isabella had appeared before her with such self–righteousness, Christina had thought she was different from the other women.
Now it seemed she was no different from them.
“Your task is done. I’ll arrange for you to go abroad immediately. Once you’re there, I’ll transfer the promised amount to your account in full per our agreement.” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Isabella should leave.
Keeping her around might lead to more trouble, and Christina was uncertain about what might happen.
So, Christina would only feel at ease by sending Isabella away.
Isabella turned towards her and said, “Our cooperation is over, but there wasn’t a clause in our agreement about you helping me go abroad.
“Consider it an extra gift, Christina said arrogantly.
belle’s l*ps curled into a mocking emile. But I don’t need it.”
The atmosphere between the two instantly tensed. Christina looked at Isabella, feeling that this woman’s scheming surpassed that of any other woman she had encountered.
“Well, then I’ll have to tell Ced everything,” Christina’s tone dripped with danger.
She knew every detail of what Isabella had done to Natalie during their collaboration. She was there every step of the way. This understanding had made Christina confident that Isabella wouldn’t try anything fishy during their recent collaboration.
Even if she played dirty, Christina wasn’t afraid!
Isabella had taught her a lesson. In this world, one might believe they hold everything in their hands, but
they might not know how ruthless the other side can be.
In response to Christina’s threats, Isabella remained silent. She removed the bandage covering her eyes.
The wound was still gruesome!
“You…” Christina was nauseated with just one glance.
Even though everything had gone according to plan, Isabella had…?!
“Tell me, will he believe what you say, or will he believe my injuries?”
With those words, Christina’s face turned ashen. She trembled in anger.
“You actually…”
Before coming here, Christina wasn’t aware of everything that had happened. She approached Isabella with heavy steps.
When she reached Isabella’s bedside, she extended her hand to gently touch Isabella’s wound.
It was just a light touch, but Christina recoiled as if she had touched something scalding.
“You actually did it for real?!”
Her quivering l*ps expressed her shock.
Christina had considered herself the most ruthless person during this period. But now, looking at Isabella,
she realized the true extent of cunning and ruthlessness–it was the fearlessness to be cruel to even one’s self!
