Chapter 89


    Chapter 89 Never Hesitated to Divorce


    “W–what’s going on? Christina nervously looked at Reba.


    A sense of danger was shing in her mind!


    Why would Reba suddenly make such a request, asking Christina to treat Isabe better if nothing


    had


    happened?


    Christina had been living by Reba’s side for many years, and she knew very well what kind of


    person


    her adoptive mother was,


    She was a proud and arrogant woman. If Isabe hadn’t done anything to her, Reba wouldn’t have


    changed her views so easily!


    Reba looked at Christina and took a deep breath. When she next spoke, her voice betrayed her


    unease.


    “She is your brother’s benefactor and… our family’s benefactor.”


    “Benefactor!?” Christina was taken aback.


    “Yes,” Reba nodded.


    Reba began recounting the events of that incident, which had haunted her for many years. Even


    though it had happened many years ago, it still gave her nightmares from time to time.


    No matter how strong she appeared on the outside, she had her own vulnerabilities.


    And Cedric…!


    Cedric was her son, and the most fatal weakness she had.


    Reba retold the story from beginning to end. The more Christina heard, the more her heart churned.


    She had never expected Isabe’s brother, Ivan, to have such a deep connection with their family.


    Reba concluded, “She’s Ivan’s only family in this world. So naturally, we have to treat her well.”


    Yes, you’re right…” Christina echoed with a forced smile.


    But in her heart, turmoil raged,


    She watched Reba speaking with unexpected tenderness when mentioning Isabe.


    het kind of person was leabe? 11 wasn’t as if Christina didn’t know!


    How could Reba show such kindness to someone so easily?


    Isabe… Christina had truly underestimated that woman!


    Christina had finally managed to drive Natalie away, and now there was Isabe!


    With how easily she could captivate the hearts of the Johnson family members, Christina knew she had


    her work cut out for her.


    Meanwhile, at the hospital, Isabe realized that her attending physician was missing. She tried calling


    him, but none of the three calls had been answered.


    Just then, a nurse entered the room.


    “Ms. Morgan.”


    “Where did my attending physician go?” Isabe asked.


    “Dr. Landry is in charge now,” the nurse replied.


    “What do you mean?”


    “Dr. Walton has resigned.”


    “Resigned? Isabe was surprised. She tried to hide her growing panic. She looked at the young nurse


    with disbelief.


    The nurse nodded. “Yes, he resigned. He already stopped working here.”


    Upon hearing this, Isabe’s heart skipped a beat. Herplexion worsened, and she couldn’t believe


    it. She didn’t even know when the nurse left.


    She tried calling Dr, Walton again.


    Now she realized that it wasn’t because he was too busy to answer her calls, but rather… because he


    was avoiding her.


    Hah, He truly dared to do this!


    Each lime she called, there was no answer.


    The moment she hung up, Christina called her.


    “You really have some nerve,” Christina sarcastically said over the phot


    Isabe had never considered Christina to be worth her attention, but now she asked, “Was Dr. Walton


    resigning your doing?”


    “I don’t


    know what you’re talking about.”


    “Christina, are you trying to burn your bridges?” Isabe asked sharply.


    From the beginning to the end, all Christina wanted was to make Natalie and Cedric divorce.


    Now that they were divorced, there was no longer any use for Isabe.


    Christina sneered. “Burning bridges? Are you talking about yourself? You openly imed that


    You openly imed that you woul never be with Ced, but you’re secretly using underhanded methods


    to make my mother like you!”


    Christina understood that Elizabeth would soon learn of this matter. Once she did, Isabe would


    be apletely different existence within the Johnson family.


    Christina had been so focused on her goal of getting Natalie out of the family. She hadpletely


    overlooked this approaching threat!


    Isabe was a much moreplicated person to deal withpared to Natalie!


    When Natalie was part of the Johnson family, she hid from all troubles. But Isabe… she had taken all


    the members of the Johnson family into consideration in her ns.


    If she managed to enter their ranks.


    Christina didn’t dare imagine what would happen.


    Christina couldn’t let that happen. She would make sure Isabe never entered the Johnson family.


    “Isabe, I warned you not to think about things you shouldn’t. If you persist, don’t me me for


    retaliating


    After her stern warning, Christina hung up the phone.


    Isabe’s face turned somewhat unpleasant, and a glint of malevolence flickered in her eyes.


    Unbeknownst to her, Christina was not the only threat around her. Natalle was a threat as well, and she


    secretly investigating her

    In Cedric’s office, Natalie had taken the initiative to visit him. Cedric’s expression had softened


    somewhat, but he was still tense as he looked at the woman before him.


    So what if they were divorced? She was still his!


    Natalie handed him a bag, and Cedric did not immediately open it.


    He asked in a somewhat unfriendly tone. “What is this?”


    Aplex array of emotions passed through his refined features. From his perspective, Natalie had


    caused too many problems recently, and her actions against Isabe had disappointed him.


    Now, she was pulling out documents or something of the sort, making him think she was up to


    something.

    Was it concerning their marital property?


    He had already given her an equal share.


    Noticing Cedric’s inaction, Natalie said, “Go ahead, open it.”


    It was a big surprise!


    Seeing that Cedric was still not moving, she got up and expertly slotted herself beside him. She took


    the CDs from the bag and inserted them into hisputer. 1


    Her movements were so familiar that they made his heart race. After all, she had visited this office


    many times before.


    She had also helped him with numerous matters. Everything was so familiar, with the only change…


    being their rtionship.


    “Have you ever hesitated for a moment about divorcing me?” Cedric asked Natalie, his tone weighed


    down by his inner emotions.


    Natalle nced at him.


    It had to be said that this man was truly tall, or perhaps she was just short.


    She was standing now, yet she was only as tall as he was sitting. They looked at each other on the

    Natalie struggled to see into his heart, to understand what was truly inside


    How could this man be so heartless?


    Why had he started the fire that took her life in her previous life?


    How could he be so cruel?


    She had been carrying his child at the time!


    Her breathing felt constricted.


    “No,” she responded.


    Just as he had been ruthless enough to let her die in the past, she was equally unwavering in putting.


    down their ten–year rtionship!
