    Chapter 19 Going Abroad


    Natalie’s head snapped to the side from the blow to her face! There were bloodstains at the corners of


    her mouth, and she looked disheveled.


    However, her gaze was sharp, sending shivers down the spine of anyone who looked at her. Those


    who did so wouldn’t be able to help taking a step back.


    Although briefly stunned, Reba quickly regained herposure and yelled, “How dare you look at


    me like that?! Look at yourself now! What have you turned the Johnson family into?”


    Natalie remained silent.


    “You dare to mention divorce again? What qualifications do you have to ask for a divorce? Our family is


    the one that doesn’t want you.”


    Seething with anger, Reba’s words were harsh and her eyes were filled with disdain.


    Christina stepped forward tofort Reba. “Mom, don’t get too upset. Getting angry isn’t good for


    your health.”


    The furious Reba didn’t care about maintaining herposure. She red at Natalie intensely.


    “How much?”


    Money?


    Things were at this point, and now Reba wanted to settle things with money.


    Natalie looked at Reba. “How much money do you think is fairpensation for my share of three


    years‘ worth of joint assets?”


    “What did you say? Joint assets? What right do you have? You married into our family and enjoyed a


    comfortable life! Did you ever go out and work a single day, huh?!”


    “I am his legally recognized wife. I have every right.


    “You… Reba’s face turned ashen, and she immediately screamed, “I always said that you looked


    Innocent on the outside, but your heart is filled with malice! Ced didn’t believe it back then, but now


    your true colors are finally showing!”


    Natalie paid no attention to what Reba was saying. She remained persistent and stubborn.


    There was one thing that was different nowpared to when she and Cedric were in love. She hadn’t


    asked for anything back then, but the situation had changed. If she couldn’t hold onto the man she


    loved,

    “You don’t need to call me malicious. I gave him my love for ten years, and I’ve lost out in that aspect.”


    “What does your love amount to?”


    “Everything your son willingly bought, obviously!”


    Reba and Christina exchanged a nce, clearly not expecting Natalie to have such a sharp wit.


    They had initially nned to use money to send Natalie away, thinking she would be sensible at this


    point and take it, but they hadn’t anticipated her level–headedness.


    “I really underestimated you,” Reba said, her eyes shing with hate as she looked at Natalie.


    “I will divorce him. You don’t need to worry about that. Of course… as long as my interests are


    secured,”


    Natalie replied.


    In the end, she made it clear to everyone that she wasn’t a pushover, and that the ways of the elite

    wouldn’t work with her.


    In the end, Reba left in a huff.


    In the vi, Natalie sat on the sofa, holding her pig in her arms as she reminisced about the years she


    had


    spent with Cedric.


    Bianca arrived and handed her the result of the divorce application. ‘There’s a six–month waiting period


    for divorce cases. You know that, right?”


    Natalie nodded. “Yes, I’m aware.”


    She wouldn’t want to wait for six months if she had a choice, but Cedric’s attitude had left her with no


    other option.


    “Do you want to move in with me now?” Bianca asked.


    “No need. As you can see, moving in with you won’t bring me peace either.”


    Natalie was referring to the online harassment. Even after leaving Johnson Manor, she was still under


    the Johnson family’s control.


    “Your face… Bianca looked heartbroken.


    Natalie turned her head slightly, feeling embarrassed, “It’s nothing. I’ve gotten used to it.”


    When she lived at Johnson Manor, Reba used to p her when she was displeased. She acted like


    Even though so much had happened, Natalie had never thought that things between Cedric and her


    would


    end like this.


    “So, what are your ns now?” Bianca asked.


    After all, Natalie had never worked during all these years with Cedric. Leaving him meant she would be


    left with nothing, and would have to rely on herself for everything from now on.


    “I’ve already bought a ne ticket for tomorrow afternoon,” Natalie replied.


    “Where are you going?


    “I’m going abroad for a while. Things won’t be peaceful here for some time. I need to get away to think.


    about how to deal with whates next.”


    “Are you really okay with this?” Bianca asked.


    She had previously advised Natalie to leave Cedric. But now that it was actually happening, she was


    worried about Natalie’s future.


    A bitter smile crossed Natalie’s stunning face. “I never thought we’d end up arguing with each other


    until


    we were so hysterical. But when it happened, it wasn’t as frightening as I thought.”


    Bianca nodded. “I’ll help you find a job. You have great specialization and excellent art skills, so finding


    work will be easy.


    Natalie nodded in gratitude. She hadn’t refused nca’s kindness because she had be


    disconnected from society during her ten years with Cedric. This was one of the reasons she had been


    afraid to leave him.


    But now, after having experienced death once, what did she have to fear?
