A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 228 All or Nothing

After all, Natalie had suffered enough.

So, before Cedric tried to establish such a relationship with Isabella… Rebecca wouldn’t agree!

Even if Natalie wasn’t Stephen’s nice, Rebecca would still never agree to Isabella being her daughter–

in-

law!

“She’s Ivan’s only sister in this world.”

“But there’s no need for you to dedicate your whole life to taking care of her!” Rebecca’s tone became

solemn.

Ivan’s sister?!

It was like a curse.

It lingered around the Johnson family and couldn’t be shaken off no matter what they did!!

Indeed, looking at it now, wasn’t it true?

“What other feelings do you want?” Cedric mocked, looking at Rebecca.

His gaze made Rebecca instantly uneasy. “What do you mean?”

The implication was that, after the incident with Natalie, he started to despise even the notion of

feelings.

After all, the ten years of emotions with Natalie proved to be unreliable.

So now… Was he implying that, without Natalie, it didn’t matter who he spent his days with?

Therefore, he would take care of Isabella?

Natalie was the root cause of his losing confidence in relationships, and Isabella was his responsibility.

He didn’t love Isabella, but he had to take responsibility!

However, Rebecca couldn’t fathom this change.

Cedric loved Natalie, but he had to let go?!

“Ced.” When Rebecca spoke again, there was no tension In her tone,

only exasperation.

“Maybe there’s a misunderstanding about Nat’s situation. Look at her now…”

“I don’t know when it started, but you’ve been so protective of her!” Cedric interrupted, and Rebecca fell

Wasn’t this what she had always wanted before?

Now, Rebecca’s heart was truly in turmoil. If she had known earlier that rejecting Natalie would

ultimately

result in having Isabella as a blind daughter–in–law, she would have made sure Natalie and Cedric got

along well!

No matter what she said, she now only wanted Cedric and Natalie to get along well!

No, they would never get along, not with Isabella between them!

At this moment, Rebecca not only regretted her decision but also realized that Isabella was not a

simple

person.

“We’ll take good care of Isabella! Rebecca said with a slightly firm tone.

“Hah!”

Cedric laughed mockingly, clearly aware of the situation when Rebecca deliberately kept Isabella away.

from him.

“I did it because…” Rebecca struggled to explain.

The gratitude she felt for Ivan, thanks to his sister, had been completely shattered.

“If possible, I really wish I had been the one to die for you back then. I wish I had died instead, okay?!”

If it were her, there would be no Ivan, and certainly no Isabella!

Upstairs, Christina looked at Isabella sitting in a wheelchair. A hint of malice flashed in her eyes.

“You really have a way, huh?”

“You’re not a reliable partner! Isabella said with determination.

Christina’s already unpleasant expression now darkened completely.

She said viciously, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Ced all about what you did to your sister?”

“Go ahead,” Isabella replied indifferently.

Christina fell silent. At this moment, Isabella acted as if she didn’t care about anything. It was as if

nothing mattered to her.

With fearless tones, Isabella continued, “Right now, I’m blind, penniless, and have nothing. What kind

of storm can I stir up?”

“You…

I

“Or do you want to tell your brother I schemed against Natalie? Did I calculate everything with my own

eyes? That I planned on living a lifetime of darkness?”

Christina remained silent.

So ruthless!

She wasn’t a good person, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but admit that Isabella was truly

ruthless, both to others and herself.

Isabella didn’t have a good ending now, as she would spend her whole life in darkness.

Was that why she was clinging to Cedric?

“I’ve already said that I’ll ensure you have a worry–free life forever. You can have anything you want,”

Christina said in a restrained tone.

If she could, she really wanted to tear Isabella apart!

They could have gotten along well! But Natalie, who Christina couldn’t get rid of, ruined everything

Yes… Before, Christina had secretly dealt with any woman who got close to Cedric

Only Natalie seemed like a solid presence. No matter what methods she used, she couldn’t drive her

away from Cedric, so she panicked.

Now, it was even worse.

Natalie was gone, but in her place was a more difficult presence to deal with!

The mocking smile on Isabella’s lips was even more scornful.

She said, “Christina, I’ve seen the fates of those people. Compared to you, your brother is more

reliable.”

By Cedric’s side, she could enjoy the warmth of that man for a lifetime. She could also receive good

care.

That was a truly worry–free living, right?

“As for Natalie now, I don’t need to do anything more. Your brother will take care of

“Are you burning the bridges now that you’ve gotten what you want?” Christina hissed.

She was close to screaming in Isabella’s face!

“Compared to you, what I’ve done is nothing. How many bridges have you burned?”

“You…”

“What do you think? Between you and me, who does your brother trust more?”

“What do you mean?”

why not give it a try?”

“You…”

For the first time, Christina felt the terror of this woman. Even a simple smile on her lips seemed to

carry the terrifying aura of hell.

Downstairs, Rebecca was desperately trying to persuade Cedric

Suddenly, a miserable scream echoed throughout the house.

“Ahhh…!”

This scream instantly interrupted the two

Cedric was sitting on the sofa. He immediately shot up the stairs when he heard the scream!

Rebecca’s heart tightened as she quickly followed after him.

“N–no! l–it wasn’t me, Ced…!LL

Christina’s voice of panicked explanation followed,

The s

scene was chaotic. Isabella lay on the ground, her wheelchair toppled to the side. The disorderly

aftermath revealed the intensity of the situation just now.

Cedric shot Christina a fierce glare and walked swiftly toward Isabella. He picked her up from the

ground.

At this moment, Isabella was pale and shivering in Cedric’s arms. She had clearly been quite

frightened.

Christina watched Isabella’s exaggerated act and felt the urge to tear her apart. However, seeing the

severity on Cedric’s face, she trembled, and any words she intended to say were forcibly swallowed.

Looking at Rebecca with,a look of grievance, Christina said, “Mom!”

+15 BONUS

This was the first time… Yes, the first time Christina was on the receiving end of such a look from

Cedric.

He was the man she admired, and this gaze was more unbearable than being tortured!

After giving Isabella a fierce look, she ran out crying!

Scarlet Villa was now in complete chaos.

Meanwhile, Natalie had arrived at Elegance Bay. Instead of going straight to her place, she went to

Irwin’s residence!
