Chapter 133


    Chapter 133 Marriage Alliance


    Cedric left after dropping such earth–shattering news. Even if he didn’t say anything else, Reba


    knew


    what to do now.


    Half an hourter, Reba and Elizabeth snapped out of their stupor. When their eyes met, confusion


    still


    lingered in their eyes.


    “Stephen’s niece?”


    “Yes,” Reba nodded.


    *Stephen Jarvis from Regal Horizons International?”


    “Yes,” Reba nodded again.


    “S-she…” Elizabeth faltered, unsure of what to say at this moment.


    Reba was also unsure of what to say now. Natalle was Stephen’s niece, a result that no one had


    anticipated. Though only a niece, he was Natalie’s only family in this world.


    Judging by Stephen’s attitude, it was clear that her existence was extraordinary in his world.


    Reba turned pale. Her l*ps trembled as if trying to say something, but at this moment, nothing came


    out.


    Christina entered and sensed that something was amiss. She approached and asked, “Mom, what’s


    wrong?”


    Tina…


    “Huh?”


    Reba still didn’t know what to say and was silent.


    Natalie!


    Her identity.


    In Verde City, her identity would be considered as an elite status. She was not an orphan with no


    background or support!


    at’s wrong? Christina noticed Reba’s hesitation and asked


    Ultimately, Reba didn’t say anything.


    She needed more time to process this information. Now… she didn’t know how to feel when Natalie


    was


    mentioned.


    In the past, she used to feel angry and hateful when Natalie was mentioned.


    But now?


    “Grandma, what’s wrong with Mom?”


    Seeing Reba hesitating to speak and her obvious distress, Christina shifted her gaze to Elizabeth.


    Elizabeth also didn’t know what to say at this moment.


    “Don’t ask,” she sighed, somewhat helpless.


    Clearly, Cedric’s sudden revtion had left them all in shock, unable to fully process the situation.


    Seeing their expressions, Christina knew something was up.


    Reba struggled to suppress the turmoil in her heart!


    Turning to Christina, Reba asked, “How is Isabe doing?”


    Christina’s eyes flickered for a moment but quickly recovered. She casually tousled her curly hair and


    replied, “The doctor said they’ll remove the stitches tomorrow.”


    So, tomorrow would reveal the oue. They would find out if Isabe could truly see again then.


    Reba nodded. “Good. That’s good.”


    Isabe was special to her. Just the thought of the conflicts between Isabe and Natalie gave


    Reba


    a headache.


    At this point, she realized that there was really nothing they could do to Natalie. If Natalie didn’t


    retaliate,


    that suited them just fine!


    “I go to the hospital with you tomorrow,” Reba said, attempting to divert her own attention.


    She hoped to temporarily shift her focus away from Natalie. Otherwise, she feared she might lose


    control.


    What kind of person was Stephen?


    kind of entity was Regal Horizons International?


    adelled that Stephen had a daughter: Over the yeare, many families in Simeria and Vere


    Reba escorted Elizabeth upstairs, leaving Christina alone.


    Wanda approached her and said in a tone filled with gentle indulgence, “Miss, you’re back!”


    “Ahl”


    Christina was startled by the sudden sound. She turned around, giving Wanda a displeased look


    However, considering Wanda’s many years of service with Reba, Christina quickly suppressed her


    discontent.


    “Wanda, please don’t sneak up behind me,” she said, suppressing her displeasure but still evident in


    her


    tone.


    Wanda didn’t take offense. She spoke with continued gentleness, “Master Cedric was just here.”


    “What did he say?” Upon learning that Cedric had returned, Christina probably understood why


    Reba


    and Elizabeth’s attitudes had changed again.


    Could it be because of Natalie?


    She could see it!


    Even though Cedric had divorced Natalie, he hadn’t truly let go emotionally. It seemed that they still


    needed to find a way to force Natalie out of Verde City. Handling her then would be much easier.


    “He talked about Natalie and Stephen’s rtionship!” Wanda had always been on Christina’s side, so


    she didn’t address Natalie respectfully either.


    Reba disliked Natalie, and Wanda had followed her lead in making Natalie’s life in the Johnson


    family more difficult. Because of that, Christina’s attitude toward Wanda had improved somewhat.


    “What rtionship?” As soon as Christina heard it was about Natalie and Stephen, she frowned.


    What kind of rtionship could Natalie possibly have with Stephen?


    was nothing more than Natalie being Stephen’s kept woman!


    She had always looked down on Natalie, and her mood improved considerably when she saw Natalie


    forced to be with an older man.


    listened carefully to what Cedric said when he returned. Clearly, oven she hadn’t have such an identity.


    Now, Wanda recounted everything she had seen and heard to Christina in detail.


    The more Christina heard, the more her expression stiffened. “What are you saying?”


    Turning around, she looked at Wanda in shock, unable to believe what she heard.


    Noticing the darkness in Christina’s eyes, Wanda added fuel to the fire and said, “You’re also surprised,


    right? She hid it so well these past few years!”


    “That’s not it! Are you sure everything you said is true?”


    “Master Cedric personally said all these things. How could it be false? But what’s so great about being


    just a niece?” Wanda scoffed.


    Christina red at her sharply.


    Wanda’s current attitude made Christina see that the older woman was a naive and uncultured


    peasant.


    “You saw how luxurious the car was. What do you think?” Christina retorted angrily.


    Then, she stomped up the stairs.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    “Miss, I… Seeing Christina’s attitude, Wanda became anxious.


    However, Christina’s response was only the sound of her footsteps.


    As Christina passed by Reba’s room, she instinctively slowed her pace.


    Yet, she didn’t go in and instead entered her own room.


    She sshed her face in the bathroom with cold water, attempting to calm herself. But it was futile. She


    shed the masks she wore to the outside world, revealing only a cold and fierce demeanor.


    Natalie was Stephen’s niece?!


    Stephen was Natalie’s uncle?!


    Her identity and background…!


    Without thinking, Christina knew what actions Reba would probably take next!


    Picking up her skincare products, she intended to apply them to her face. But the frustration and


    agitation


    side her was about to erupt and


    med onto the vanity mirror, causing it to crack.
