Chapter 133 Marriage Alliance
Cedric left after dropping such earth–shattering news. Even if he didn’t say anything else, Rebecca knew
what to do now.
Half an hour later, Rebecca and Elizabeth snapped out of their stupor. When their eyes met, confusion still
lingered in their eyes.
“Stephen’s niece?”
“Yes,” Rebecca nodded.
*Stephen Jarvis from Regal Horizons International?”
“Yes,” Rebecca nodded again.
“S-she…” Elizabeth faltered, unsure of what to say at this moment.
Rebecca was also unsure of what to say now. Natalle was Stephen’s niece, a result that no one had anticipated. Though only a niece, he was Natalie’s only family in this world.
Judging by Stephen’s attitude, it was clear that her existence was extraordinary in his world.
Rebecca turned pale. Her l*ps trembled as if trying to say something, but at this moment, nothing came
out.
Christina entered and sensed that something was amiss. She approached and asked, “Mom, what’s
wrong?”
Tina…
“Huh?”
Rebecca still didn’t know what to say and was silent.
Natalie!
Her identity.
In Verde City, her identity would be considered as an elite status. She was not an orphan with no
background or support!
at’s wrong? Christina noticed Rebecca’s hesitation and asked
Ultimately, Rebecca didn’t say anything.
She needed more time to process this information. Now… she didn’t know how to feel when Natalie was
mentioned.
In the past, she used to feel angry and hateful when Natalie was mentioned.
But now?
“Grandma, what’s wrong with Mom?”
Seeing Rebecca hesitating to speak and her obvious distress, Christina shifted her gaze to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth also didn’t know what to say at this moment.
“Don’t ask,” she sighed, somewhat helpless.
Clearly, Cedric’s sudden revelation had left them all in shock, unable to fully process the situation.
Seeing their expressions, Christina knew something was up.
Rebecca struggled to suppress the turmoil in her heart!
Turning to Christina, Rebecca asked, “How is Isabella doing?”
Christina’s eyes flickered for a moment but quickly recovered. She casually tousled her curly hair and
replied, “The doctor said they’ll remove the stitches tomorrow.”
So, tomorrow would reveal the outcome. They would find out if Isabella could truly see again then.
Rebecca nodded. “Good. That’s good.”
Isabella was special to her. Just the thought of the conflicts between Isabella and Natalie gave Rebecca
a headache.
At this point, she realized that there was really nothing they could do to Natalie. If Natalie didn’t retaliate,
that suited them just fine!
“I go to the hospital with you tomorrow,” Rebecca said, attempting to divert her own attention.
She hoped to temporarily shift her focus away from Natalie. Otherwise, she feared she might lose control.
What kind of person was Stephen?
kind of entity was Regal Horizons International?
adelled that Stephen had a daughter: Over the yeare, many families in Simeria and Vere
Rebecca escorted Elizabeth upstairs, leaving Christina alone.
Wanda approached her and said in a tone filled with gentle indulgence, “Miss, you’re back!”
“Ahl”
Christina was startled by the sudden sound. She turned around, giving Wanda a displeased look
However, considering Wanda’s many years of service with Rebecca, Christina quickly suppressed her
discontent.
“Wanda, please don’t sneak up behind me,” she said, suppressing her displeasure but still evident in her
tone.
Wanda didn’t take offense. She spoke with continued gentleness, “Master Cedric was just here.”
“What did he say?” Upon learning that Cedric had returned, Christina probably understood why Rebecca
and Elizabeth’s attitudes had changed again.
Could it be because of Natalie?
She could see it!
Even though Cedric had divorced Natalie, he hadn’t truly let go emotionally. It seemed that they still needed to find a way to force Natalie out of Verde City. Handling her then would be much easier.
“He talked about Natalie and Stephen’s relationship!” Wanda had always been on Christina’s side, so she didn’t address Natalie respectfully either.
Rebecca disliked Natalie, and Wanda had followed her lead in making Natalie’s life in the Johnson family more difficult. Because of that, Christina’s attitude toward Wanda had improved somewhat.
“What relationship?” As soon as Christina heard it was about Natalie and Stephen, she frowned.
What kind of relationship could Natalie possibly have with Stephen?
was nothing more than Natalie being Stephen’s kept woman!
She had always looked down on Natalie, and her mood improved considerably when she saw Natalie forced to be with an older man.
listened carefully to what Cedric said when he returned. Clearly, oven she hadn’t have such an identity.
Now, Wanda recounted everything she had seen and heard to Christina in detail.
The more Christina heard, the more her expression stiffened. “What are you saying?”
Turning around, she looked at Wanda in shock, unable to believe what she heard.
Noticing the darkness in Christina’s eyes, Wanda added fuel to the fire and said, “You’re also surprised, right? She hid it so well these past few years!”
“That’s not it! Are you sure everything you said is true?”
“Master Cedric personally said all these things. How could it be false? But what’s so great about being
just a niece?” Wanda scoffed.
Christina glared at her sharply.
Wanda’s current attitude made Christina see that the older woman was a naive and uncultured peasant.
“You saw how luxurious the car was. What do you think?” Christina retorted angrily.
Then, she stomped up the stairs.
“Miss, I… Seeing Christina’s attitude, Wanda became anxious. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
However, Christina’s response was only the sound of her footsteps.
As Christina passed by Rebecca’s room, she instinctively slowed her pace.
Yet, she didn’t go in and instead entered her own room.
She splashed her face in the bathroom with cold water, attempting to calm herself. But it was futile. She shed the masks she wore to the outside world, revealing only a cold and fierce demeanor.
Natalie was Stephen’s niece?!
Stephen was Natalie’s uncle?!
Her identity and background…!
Without thinking, Christina knew what actions Rebecca would probably take next!
Picking up her skincare products, she intended to apply them to her face. But the frustration and agitation
side her was about to erupt and
med onto the vanity mirror, causing it to crack.
