Chapter 87


    Chapter 87 Shocking Hatred


    Reba took a deep breath and sighed.


    “Let her temporarily lend her eyes to Be. Be can’t wait any longer!”


    Although Cedric had made a simr decision before, hearing these words from his own mother made


    him


    feel a tightness in his chest.


    The thought of Natalie’s eyes being used for Isabe made him incredibly uneasy.


    “I’ll figure out another way.” Cedric said without hesitation. He didn’t consider this option further, even


    though he had thought this way before.


    But the vivid image of Natalie, unable to see anything, surrounded by darkness and helpless, suddenly


    shed through his mind.


    The sound of her hands striking objects as she felt her way around, the frustration, the fear–it all felt so


    real, even though it hadn’t happened.


    It sounded so familiar, yet it also made his heart tighten.


    It even caused an involuntary shiver down his spine.


    No!


    Despite all the anger and frustration he had felt towards Natalie recently, the mere thought of her being


    a helpless invalid brought overwhelming guilt.


    He couldn’t do it.


    She was a proud woman. How could she bear the thought of being disabled, needing assistance even


    to


    eat?


    No, he couldn’t let her be like that; she would die…!


    For some reason, that thought shed through his mind.


    Just the thought of Natalie dying caused him intense heartache, and his b*dy was drenched in cold


    Reba noticed something was off with Cedric.


    wrong? Why are you sweating so much?”


    or wain’t hot today, and it was even a little chilly. There was n

    Cedric stared at his mother with a mix of determination and seriousness. ‘Please, put that thought out


    of


    your mind.”


    “What…” Reba was taken aback. “What’s going on with you?”


    “I’ll find another way.”


    Isabe would see again, but it wouldn’t be at Natalie’s expense.


    Reba’s expression darkened. “Until now, you’ve been protecting that woman. Are you blind? Look


    at


    what she’s done during this time!”


    They were already in the midst of a divorce, and there was that foreign man!


    The more Reba thought about it, the angrier she became.


    What kind of spell did Natalie cast on her son to make him this infatuated?!


    Cedric rified, “We’re already divorced. I have no right to make demands of her anymore.


    “You’ve divorce


    Cedric remained silent.


    was taken aback.


    “What about the marital property?”


    “We’ve already signed and notarized all the documents. It’s official.”


    So, there was nothing that could be changed.


    Cedric had always been meticulous. So why hadn’t he insisted on having Natalie sign the relevant


    documents after making such a request?


    Ultimately… it was because he couldn’t bring himself to go through with it.


    Their rtionship spanned many years, and despite the hurtful words spoken recently, Cedric couldn’t


    stand to see Natalie lose her eyesight.


    He… didn’t want to see her in a state of helplessness.


    Every time Cedric faced Natalie, he struggled to align his words with his true feelings. She had the


    power to make him lose control and upset his emotions.


    You you


    Reba’s face turned ashen with anger!


    Although their marriage had ended, Reba couldn’t bear to see Natalie escape without facing the


    consequences.


    She was the cause of Isabe’s suffering!


    The more Reba thought about it, the angrier she became.


    “That’s enough. We won’t discuss this further,” Cedric said, standing up and leaving.


    It was clear to him that there was no point in continuing this conversation.


    Reba closed her eyes, trembling with anger.


    The mere thought of Natalie taking away so much wealth in the divorce while contributing nothing to


    the Johnson family over the years made Reba want to tear her apart!


    Natalie, on the other hand, was overwhelmed with her work.


    She had entrusted the process of transferring assets to rk, who assured her that he would handle


    everything before returning to Simeria.


    She was eager to finish her work because it felt as though the assignments were piling up in front of


    her, and she couldn’t afford to ignore them.


    Her phone buzzed, and she noticed an unfamiliar number. However, she immediately recognized it as


    the same number Isabe had used to contact her previously.


    Natalie answered the call. Without waiting for the person on the other end to speak, she said, “I’ve


    already divorced Cedric. What else do you want?”


    In actuality, Natalie knew this wasn’t over!


    As expected, the voice on the phone sneered with disdain, “Do you think divorcing him means you’re


    safe? What I wanted was never him!”


    So, what do you want? Natalie asked.


    Your eyes, your lego, your hands, everything


    Cedric was just the beginning


    Shonk Hlle could


    the wom


    Natalie instinctively asked, “Have we met before?”


    Even if Isabe hated her, Natalie should at least know the reason, right?


    “Have we met? I’ve wanted to obliterate you since the day I knew you!”


    Every word was dripping with hatred. Natalie felt a chill run down her spine.


    Natalie had never encountered such intense hatred in another woman before. Had this woman


    approached Cedric in the past for the same reason, driven by hatred?


    However, Natalle was certain she didn’t know Isabe.


    “Heh, is that so? Let’s see who ends up with nothing left but ashes,” Natalie retorted with a coldugh.


    She had lost to this woman in her previous life, but she wouldn’t allow herself to lose this time.


    “Very well. Next up is your beloved man taking your eyes. Savor the taste of that!” Isabe dered


    before hanging up.


    Her tone had been filled with smugness.


    Natalie was left in stunned silence, trying toprehend the situation.


    She only returned to her senses when Stephen called her.


    She answered the phone and struggled to hide her unease. “Hello, Uncle.”


    Stephen had been in various situations, and he could detect the disquiet in Natalie’s voice even over


    the phone.


    He asked, “What’s wrong?”


    Natalie tried to brush it off, saying, “It’s nothing.”


    Even though she said that…


    She had been shaken by the overwhelming sense of hatred she had sensed from Isabe’s voice


    moments ago. She was growing increasingly curious about why Isabe harbored such deep


    resentment toward her!


    Since she said that, Stephen changed the topic and asked, “Did Cedric never tell you about the


    rtionship between Isabe and him?”


    “What do you mean?”


    “Isabe had a brother named Ivan Morgan. Do you know him?”


    “No, I don’t,” Natalie replied without hesitation.


    As far as she knew, Cedric had never mentioned anyone named Ivan.


    Stephen continued, “Did you know that Cedric was kidnapped as a child?”

    “Kidnapped?!”


    Cedric had been kidnapped before?!


    Natalie tried to recall, but she couldn’t remember Cedric mentioning such a significant event. If he had,


    she would have remembered it.


    “You didn’t know?” Stephen asked, surprised.


    “I didn’t!” Natalie replied, her tone growing tense.


    There was a hint of uncertainty on her exquisitely beautiful face. Throughout their years of marriage,


    she had believed she understood Cedric well.


    But now…!
