Chapter 150


    Chapter 150 Plotting Against Jocelyn


    After Jocelyn left, Christina came downstairs and asked Reba, “Mom, what did Joyce want?”


    “Just keep an eye on Isabe!”


    Reba’s expression wasn’t pleasant. Originally, she intended to settle the matter between Jocelyn


    and Cedric to prevent any changes from happening.


    But now, she could see how the Lambert family was ying this.


    She had to admit that Isabe’s presence in the Johnson family did have some impact on this matter!


    “I got it, Mom. But what did Joyce mean by that?!


    “Oh, it just needs to be dealt with quickly!” Reba said irritatedly.


    In reality, her current thoughts were focused on another person. She closed her eyes, concealing the


    shrewdness in her eyes.


    Just as she was about to say something, the butler hurriedly came in. “Madam, there’s a delivery for


    you!”


    “Delivery?”


    “Yes, ma’am.”


    “Where is it from?”


    “It’s from Simeria.”


    Simeria? From abroad?


    Reba furrowed her brow even more because she hadn’t been shopping on foreign websites


    recently,


    so what was this?


    She took the package and opened it. Inside was a thick stack of photos. At a nce, Reba’s face.


    changed instantly.


    T–this is?” Reba stammered. “How can this be?”


    Her face turned pale. Christina, who was standing beside her, couldn’t believe what she was seeing.


    Reba looked at Christina, and the two of them exchanged a shocked nce.


    The more they saw, the uglier their expressions became.


    Smack


    Reba mmed the stack of photos onto the table in front of her. Her face darkened, and her chest


    heaved.


    She couldn’t bear to look anymore because the further down they looked, the more obscene it was!


    “How shameless of them! How can she talk to me about those things when this… this…!” Reba


    angrily


    eximed.


    Thinking about how Jocelyn had acted just now, Reba supposed the Lambert family had not idea


    what kind of person she really was.


    If they knew the true nature of their child, would they still dare to be so arrogant?


    Christina picked up the photos that had fallen to the floor and looked at them.


    “I–it really is Joyce. How can she be so shameless?”


    In the photo, Jocelyn was happily sitting in thep of a foreign man. The man’s hands were out of the


    picture, but one could imagine what had happened after the photo was taken.


    “Stop looking!”


    Reba snatched the photos away and tore them to pieces. She acted as if those photos represented


    Jocelyn herself!


    That’s right. Reba really wished she could tear Jocelyn apart.


    If it weren’t for the Lambert family backing her…


    Reba would indeed do just that!


    No matter how angry she was, Reba was still considerate of Christina.


    hertone


    Christina was visibly startled by Reba’s anger, so thetter softened her tone to reassure her, “It will


    stain your eyes.


    Christina replied, “Mom, if you’re upset, I won’t look!”


    “How could she be that kind of person?”


    “Yeah, Joyce looks so gentle and sweet. How could she do such a thing!?”


    “Gentle my foot! Look at her. She’s no different from those shy harlots!”


    +15 BONUS


    The more Reba thought about it, the angrier she became. With what she had discovered, Reba


    wouldn’t have any dealings with the Lambert family anymore.


    Although the Lambert family was an important presence in Verde City, she might never find peace in


    her lifetime if she ended up with a daughter–inw like this!


    Fortunately, the engagement wasn’t set in stone yet.


    If it had been, it would have been heartbreaking for Reba to discover Jocelyn’s true colorster on!


    “Okay, stop it! Don’t be angry anymore!” Christina continuously tried tofort Reba.


    Reba closed her eyes.


    Natalie shed through her mind.


    She had to admit that she regretted her actions!


    She had wanted to keep some pride, but now it seemed impossible.


    “Mom, what do we do now?”


    “You know, about Isabe…”


    Isabe… Speaking of Isabe, Reba was even more furious!


    Isabe’s ability to enter the Johnson Manor using such means indicated that this woman’s tricks were


    extraordinary.


    Reba needed to act quickly.


    In any case, Isabe couldn’t be allowed to get involved with Cedric. After all, the future matriarch of


    the Johnson family couldn’t be someone a blind woman!


    “You keep an eye on her; I have a n!” Reba replied curtly.


    In matters where she was uncertain of the oue, she wouldn’t casually reveal her ns.


    After all, if it didn’t work out, it would be embarrassing for everyone.


    Christina nodded, “Alright, I understand.”


    But we still have to trust Ced; we don’t necessarily have to resolve everything through a marriage!”


    +15 BONUS


    However, Reba didn’t say anything; she just waved her hand in annoyance.


    Christina was naturally willing to trust Cedric’s judgment.


    If he could marry Natalie back then and have her stand behind him without any worries, he could surely


    handle the internal issues of the Johnson family now.


    Christina was filled with confidence in the man when she thought of his imposing figure. Cedric was


    indeed capable.


    However, some people, from the beginning, were eager to take shortcuts. Regardless of belief,


    shortcuts


    were always tempting!


    For example… Reba.


    Even though she knew Cedric was stronger than before, she…


    Reba left, and Christina had no idea where she went!


    The older generation of the Johnson branch families was undoubtedly nning to take action due to


    Cedric’s consecutive losses of two projects worth over a hundred million each.


    Adding on the uncertain marriage alliance with the Lambert family, they would surely make their move


    soon!


    Regardless of whether Cedric could truly resolve the internal conflict on his side, Reba would


    definitely seek a shortcut!


    Christina also wondered whom Reba would choose this time among the wealthy families‘


    daughters.


    Jocelyn was truly out of the question!


    Just based on this stack of photos, Reba couldn’t possibly continue to like Jocelyn.


    Christina crouched down and picked up a photo. After lightly blowing the dust off it, a satisfied smile


    spread on her l*ps.


    “Hehel”


    So what if some people try to enter the Johnson family forcibly?


    Regardless of who it was, they would never make it as long as Christina didn’t agree to it!

    “Miss!” Wanda approached her with a gaze filled with indulgence.


    Compared to what the others in the Johnson family were feeling, Christina’s mood was exceptionally


    good.


    “Wanda.”


    “Yes, miss!”


    “Make me some snacks; I feel like eating something,” Christina said casually.


    Upon hearing that, Wanda nodded immediately.


    “Alright. I’ll personally make it for you, miss!”


    “That’s good. I like your cooking.”


    Wanda was one of Reba’s people.


    Although there were dedicated kitchen staff at the Johnson Manor, Christina just didn’t like the food


    they


    prepared.


    More often than not, she had a particr fondness for Wanda’s cooking.


    Wanda worked quickly and made some fruit tarts personally for Christina. She could easily capture


    Christina’s preferences.


    In turn, Christina ate three in a row. “Mmm! This is delicious!”


    “If you like them, please eat more, miss! As they’re all fruit–based, you won’t gain weight from eating


    them!”


    “Oh, Wanda. You really do understand me.”
