Chapter 110


    Chapter 110 Christina is Terrified


    Natalie didn’t have time to y around with her like this.


    So, she called Karina over, who promptly came over.


    “What’s going on?” Karina asked.


    “Any updates?” Natalie was referring to the private investigator Karina had hired.


    Karina checked the time on her wristwatch. “Not yet, but we should get it in the next couple of days.”


    “Alright.”


    Natalie was genuinely curious about why Isabe harbored such intense resentment toward her. Karina


    understood Natalie’s intent.


    Isabe’s, arrival in Verde City seemed directly connected to her, and Natalie wanted to uncover the


    truth


    behind it as quickly as possible.

    Understanding the sequence of events was crucial for Natalie to n her next steps.


    However, before learning the motives behind Isabe’s hatred, it was impossible for Natalie to trust


    anything she might attempt against her.


    “In half an hour, the two new designers will arrive. Would you like to conduct the interviews personally?”


    “No need. You handle it,‘ Natalie replied. She was more focused on nning the future of her studio.


    With the substantial amount of money gained from her divorce from Cedric, Natalle intended d to


    expand herpany. Having reached this point in her career, running just a small studio was no longer


    sufficient.


    After Karina left, Natalie began working on the design drafts for Premier Garden. Unbeknownst to her,


    rumors about her and Irwin were spreading outside.


    But this time, the public perception was different from before. Following her public press conference,


    the narrative around her shifted from being a housewife to a career–oriented woman.


    Photos of her and Irwin having a meal together were circted, but reports suggested that they might


    have a new coboration.


    All the coverage was positive, focusing solely on their professional rtionship and avoiding any


    intrusion into their privacy!


    At the hospital, Isabe listened to the nurse reading the news. The resentment in her heart intensified,


    causing pain to re up in her wounds.


    “Leavel


    The news of Natalie’s growing sess ignited the mes of jealousy in Isabe’s heart. The sinister


    aural emanating from her was so tangible that even the nurse felt it and hastily exited the room.


    As soon as the nurse left, Christina entered. Her steps were light, unlike before.


    “Who is it?” Isabe asked in an unfriendly tone.


    She was on high alert and was listening intently. The darkness was truly frightening.


    She regretted it!


    She regretted plotting against Natalie to the point where she found herself in this situation. The wound


    on her abdomen still throbbed with pain.


    And Natalie?


    She was boldly building her career!


    Isabe had lost her sight and had taken a stab to her abdomen, yet not a single hair on Natalie was


    harmed.


    “Are you here to unt your achievements?”


    Christina was silent, and Isabe assumed it was Natalie in the room with her.


    Christina narrowed her eyes dangerously.

    Before she could say anything, Isabe continued, “Do you think it’s over? Let me tell you, Natalie, it’s


    not! This is just the beginning! You’ll get what’sing to you!”


    “And what’s that?” Christina finally spoke.


    She hadn’t expected Isabe to harbor such intense hatred towards Natalie. Why did she hate her so


    much?


    Isabe was stunned!


    She didn’t expect it to be Christina.


    Her perception was still too weak; she couldn’t sense who was approaching. Christina had taught her a


    Pasort Isabe had to control her emotions, and she was relieved that it was Christine


    If it were Cedric….


    Pain and helplessness overwhelmed her. She truly regretted it. She hadn’t realized that one’s aura


    could change so much that she couldn’t even sense who was approaching.


    “Why are you here?” Isabe had no favorable attitude towards Christina.


    Christina casually touched her red nails, a mocking smile ying on her l*ps. “I came to see what tricks


    you had up your sleeves to have bewitched my mother!”


    Thinking about Reba’s current attitude towards Isabe, Christina was quite anxious. What right did


    this woman have to gain her mother’s favor?


    Everything in the Johnson family belonged to her–Reba’s love, Cedric’s heart–or so she thought.


    She had initially perceived Isabe as someone honest and modest, but now it seemed she had


    underestimated her.


    Isabe stiffened at Christina’s words. “I didn’t do anything!”


    “Heh, nothing?” Christina’s tone carried an implied threat.


    All those people who wanted to have Cedric and stay by his side… Christina wouldn’t allow it!


    None of them would be allowed to!


    Watching Isabe’s demeanor, disdain shed in Christina’s eyes. When Isabe had appeared before


    her with such self–righteousness, Christina had thought she was different from the other women.


    Now it seemed she was no different from them.


    “Your task is done. I’ll arrange for you to go abroad immediately. Once you’re there, I’ll transfer the


    promised amount to your ount in full per our agreement.”


    Isabe should leave.


    Keeping her around might lead to more trouble, and Christina was uncertain about what might happen.


    So, Christina would only feel at ease by sending Isabe away.


    Isabe turned towards her and said, “Our cooperation is over, but there wasn’t a use in our


    agreement about you helping me go abroad.


    “Consider it an extra gift, Christina said arrogantly.


    belle’s l*ps curled into a mocking emile. But I don’t need it.”


    The atmosphere between the two instantly tensed. Christina looked at Isabe, feeling that this


    woman’s scheming surpassed that of any other woman she had encountered.


    “Well, then I’ll have to tell Ced everything,” Christina’s tone dripped with danger.


    She knew every detail of what Isabe had done to Natalie during their coboration. She was there


    every step of the way. This understanding had made Christina confident that Isabe wouldn’t try


    anything fishy during their recent coboration.


    Even if she yed dirty, Christina wasn’t afraid!


    Isabe had taught her a lesson. In this world, one might believe they hold everything in their hands,


    but


    they might not know how ruthless the other side can be.


    In response to Christina’s threats, Isabe remained silent. She removed the bandage covering her


    eyes.


    The wound was still gruesome!


    “You…” Christina was nauseated with just one nce.


    Even though everything had gone ording to n, Isabe had…?!


    “Tell me, will he believe what you say, or will he believe my injuries?”


    With those words, Christina’s face turned ashen. She trembled in anger.


    “You actually…”


    Beforeing here, Christina wasn’t aware of everything that had happened. She approached Isabe


    with heavy steps.


    When she reached Isabe’s bedside, she extended her hand to gently touch Isabe’s wound.


    It was just a light touch, but Christina recoiled as if she had touched something scalding.


    “You actually did it for real?!”


    Her quivering l*ps expressed her shock.


    Christina had considered herself the most ruthless person during this period. But now, looking at


    Isabe,


    she realized the true extent of cunning and ruthlessness–it was the fearlessness to be cruel to even


    one’s self!
