Chapter 140 Humiliation
“Do you know Stephen Jarvis? Christina asked triumphantly, looking at Isabella’s defeated expression.
Stephen Jarvis?
It wasn’t an unfamiliar name. During the half–year she spent by Cedric’s side, she gained considerable knowledge about prominent domestic and international families.
Stephen Jarvis was the wealthiest man in Simeria.
“Heh, what are you trying to say? That you discovered you’re his daughter after so many years of being the Johnson family’s adopted daughter?” Isabella mocked.
Although she had always dismissed the title of being the adopted daughter of the Johnson family, she
knew that it was the most taboo subject for Christina.
“Heh, I’d love it if that had happened! But having the Johnson family is enough for me!” Christina retorted. ” However, Natalie is Stephen’s niece! Do you know what that means? It means Stephen is Natalie’s uncle!”
As Christina continued, Isabella’s face grew paler.
Eventually, her l*ps trembled uncontrollably.
Natalie was…?
Her world seemed to turn gray in an instant. It was as if it had collapsed at this moment!
Natalie… Natalie was…
Looking at Isabella’s completely changed expression, Christina knew this revelation had dealt her a
considerable blow.
There was no trace of sympathy in Christina’s face.
With a gloating look, Christina continued, “Now it seems that no matter how much hatred you have for Natalie, you can’t retaliate against her anymore! With such an uncle to rely on, even if you blinded yourself or made yourself look like a pathetic pig to frame her, it wouldn’t work!”
Isabella was silent.
“What’s the use of the world pitying you? With her uncle protecting her, even if the whole world pities you, It’s useless!
istine’s words felt like salt being poured on Isabella’s wounded heart
Natalie had an uncle.
And not just any uncle, but Simeria’s wealthiest man, Stephen Jarvis!
This news was too shocking for Isabella. The impact on her was indeed significant, as Christina
continued to talk incessantly.
Isabella had worked so hard, and she didn’t expect such an outcome. Christina was still rambling on about something and didn’t notice Isabella’s scattered focus.
“That’s enough!” Isabella roared, interrupting Christina before she could finish her sentence.
Seeing Isabella furious but helpless, Christina’s face showed no irritation.
Instead, there was only pure satisfaction.
“I never really liked Natalie, but Isabella.. Seeing how you used these tactics against her, I do believe in karma!”
“If there really is karma in this world, rest assured… Mine won’t be the only one, but yours will also come soon! Isabella retorted
“I have the Johnson family backing me up!” Christina shot back confidently.
Yes, Natalie had Stephen protecting her.
Then Isabella… had the Johnson family behind her.
“Did you forget? I also have the Johnson family backing me now!” Isabella countered Christina’s smugness.
She knew this woman wanted to strike her down, and she wasn’t going to play into her hands.
Indeed, Christina’s face turned dark at Isabella’s words. Thinking about the change in Rebecca’s attitude towards Isabella earlier, she couldn’t believe it.
How could this happen?
The Johnson family? If you didn’t remind me, I might have forgotten that you’re the benefactor of our family! Christina said harshly.
Who did she think she was?!
In reality, it was all because of Ivan’s favor that she managed to establish herself in the Johnson family’s
To put it bluntly, Rebecca was the only one who seemed to regard her more highly, Christina’s previous
worries that Elizabeth would be the same were completely unnecessary.
“Yeah, I’m the Johnson family’s benefactor!” Isabella responded calmly to Christina.
In the end, Christina stormed out.
Despite her cunning and intelligence, she couldn’t always control her emotions.
Isabella was now alone in the hospital room.
“Natalie!” she hissed through gritted teeth.
Her once stunning figure now trembled with anger.
She was blind!
Truly blind!
To ensure that the woman would face the most miserable fate, to make her experience the
consequences of being sent to prison by the man she loved… Isabella had blinded herself.
Now, she was left with a lifetime without the possibility of regaining her sight.
However, even with a lifetime of darkness as the cost, Natalie hadn’t paid even half the price of what she
owed Isabella!
“I underestimated you!” Isabella muttered.
She had more than underestimated Natalie.
The outcome left Isabella in deep resentment. The thought of her enduring the darkness while Natalie freely enjoyed herself outside filled her with hatred.
However, there was no chance for Isabella to vent this anger and hatred now.
Because of this hatred, she felt like her heart was bleeding!
Isabella’s hatred grew stronger.
She wished Natalie were dead!
But this hatred could only dryly linger Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
the darkness, she lacked even the ability to care for herself in her most miserable state, she couldn’t
Meanwhile, Natalie was in a meeting in her office. Just then, her phone started ringing. She subconsciously glanced at the caller, feeling a serious gaze upon her.
She turned slightly to see that it was Zane.
He was a very meticulous person.
The phone continued to ring, and he said, “Take a ten–minute break!”
Without waiting for her response, Zane spoke first.
Natalie understood his meaning. She had to admit he was a very competent assistant.
She picked up the phone and moved to the side to answer, “Hello.”
“It’s me,” came Isabella’s voice from the other end.
Natalie’s eyes dimmed when she heard her voice.
It was unlike before!
Her heart was in turmoil.
Isabella was… her sister!
“What is it?” Natalie spoke again, her tone icy
Isabella replied, “I want to meet you.”
Both of their tones were calm. Natalie was surprised by this, not expecting Isabella to maintain such composure even at this moment.
“Why should I come just because you want me to?” Natalie replied coldly.
“I’m really blind now, Isn’t that what you wanted to see? Isabella’s response was filled with self- confidence.
She seemed to think that everyone else had the same dark thoughts as her, living in this world with revenge as their sole motivation.
On the other end of the line, Natalie’s disdain was evident.
But she wasn’t in a hurry,
“Or are you afraid I might scheme against you again?” Isabella questioned.
“All your schemes are meaningless to me!” Natalie retorted without a second thought.
Schemes?
If one were to talk about scheming against her, Isabella had indeed stirred up quite a lot of trouble during
this period.
From hitting herself, stabbing herself with a knife, to blinding her own eyes–each act more ruthless than
the last. She did all of this just to witness Cedric personally sending Natalie to prison.
“Yeah, now I realize where you get the confidence to say such things,” Isabella said, feeling like
a clown.
She had gone to great lengths to put Natalie behind bars in front of Cedric.
But in the end?
