Chapter 215


    Chapter 215 Interrogation


    Natalie emerged from the airport,pletely unaffected by Cedric.


    After receiving a call from Zane, she drove straight to Sylvan Gems.


    Reba greeted her as she entered the lobby of Sylvan Gems.


    “Nat.”


    Despite the recent turmoil, Reba still managed to address her with the familiar nickname, showing


    her deep understanding of the situation.


    The receptionist nervously stepped forward, “Ms. Walker, Madam Johnson insisted on waiting for you.”


    Not knowing Natalie’s current work hours made it a bit awkward for the receptionist when Reba


    insisted on waiting.


    After all, Reba was part of the Johnson family. Despite the recent controversies, most people dared


    not be disrespectful.


    Natalie waved her hand, signaling the receptionist to leave.


    Turning to Reba, Natalie’s tone was icy as she asked, “What do you want with me?”


    “It’s about Tina, I know she…” Reba stumbled when talking about Christina. “Nat, your previous


    discord


    with Tina in the family was because of me. The child is innocent!”


    “She’s still probably unused to treating you differently. I’m sure you know how hard habits are to break,


    right? Please, don’t hold it against her, okay?”


    Natalie looked at Reba impassively. Undoubtedly, Reba genuinely cared for Christina.


    Christina’s initial stability in the Johnson family was thanks to Reba’s affection.


    Christina was just an adopted daughter, but she led a trulyfortable life.


    This caused many people to envy her.


    But Christina didn’t cherish her blessings.


    When Natalie was still in the Johnson family, she felt uneasy mentioning this matter, as it would affect


    everyone’s mood.


    But now…


    +15 BONUS


    “She has already gone back.”


    “G–gone back?”


    “Yes.”


    “In that case, I apologize on her behalf. Please don’t let these matters cause discord between you and


    Ced!”


    Reba was genuinely hardworking. Amidst the current external turmoil, she could withstand such


    internal pressure to talk to Natalie.


    It was no wonder Elizabeth liked her. Such a daughter–inw who handled things so well was indeed


    at


    treasure.


    Natalie replied, “There’s no need for apologies. But there’s one thing I want to correct.”


    “What is it?”


    “The discord between Christina and me was never because of you.”


    “What do you mean?” Reba didn’t understand Natalie’s words for a moment.


    Natalie smiled mockingly. “Despite raising her, it seems you have no idea about the thoughts of a


    young


    girl.”


    Reba’s face changed slightly at the words.


    Something ufortable wed at her chest.


    Natalie added meaningfully, “What she wants isn’t simply to be your daughter.”


    After speaking, Natalie didn’t care about Reba’s reaction and walked away. Reba stood there,


    her


    mind in chaos for a moment before suddenly clearing up.


    It had to be said that a person might be confused, but they wouldn’t stay confused forever unless they


    chose to be.


    Reba was not an idiot. With Natalie’s words, her mind became filled with various thoughts–Natalie,


    Jocelyn, and Isabe.


    Was Christina connected to all of the incidents concerning them?


    d her eyes.


    Suddenly, her face turned pale, and a sh of anger crossed her


    7/5


    +15 BONUS


    Natalie stood at the elevator, watching Reba leave angrily.


    A cold and sinister smile appeared on her l*ps.


    Hah… Christina!


    Natalie had always known what Reba’s limits were.


    If Christina insisted on making Natalie’s life miserable, Natalie would make sure they were both going


    through the same misery!


    Reba was a traditional woman, and Christina’s thoughts were undoubtedly something she wouldn’t


    approve of.


    Her standards for a daughter–inw wouldn’t change just because she had personally raised


    Christina.


    Besides, Christina was her adopted daughter.


    She definitely wouldn’t approve!


    Christina returned to the Johnson Manor. When Wanda saw her, she immediately started fussing. She


    had made food for Christina and reheated the food multiple times, hoping Christina would have


    something warm to eat when she returned.


    “Miss, are you cold? I’m sure you’re hungry, right?!”


    “Wanda!”


    Seeing Wanda, Christina’s eyes were teary. It seemed that she had been really anxious throughout the


    night.


    For the first time, she felt like she had a close brush with death.


    “Oh, it’s good that you’re back. That’s good!” Wanda embraced Christina with concern.


    For the first time, Christina didn’t refuse the maid’s touch. With Reba absent, she seemed to need


    an


    embrace now, regardless of who it was:


    “Shh, it’s okay!” Wanda continued tofort Christina in her arms.


    When Reba returned, she saw Wandaforting Christina in such a manner.


    From her perspective….


    +15 BONUS


    She suddenly realized how simr Christina and Wanda’s side profile looked. Even their eyes


    seemed…!


    Wanda and Christina had always been around her, but she had never seen them from such a simr


    angle.


    But now…


    Her heart skipped a beat.


    A shiver ran down her spine, but she quickly shook her head, forcefully suppressing this thought.


    It was impossible; these were the people she knew best!


    Reba went inside.


    Christina saw her and left Wanda’s arms, calling out with a hint of grievance, “Mom!”


    She was genuinely aggrieved.


    Although she had experienced many ups and downs by Reba’s side over the years,st night….


    No matter what she said, Christina couldn’t escape the feeling of being trapped. Whenever she thought


    about those repeated questions, her heart tightened.


    Christina had to admit that Natalie was truly ruthless this time. It was a move Christina had never


    anticipated, and she almost couldn’t turn the situation around.


    Christina had no idea that if it weren’t for Cedric, she might not have been able to escape that situation.


    The evidence Natalie submitted this time was exceptionally solid.


    If Cedric hadn’t threatened Natalie with Bianca, Christina wouldn’t have been able toe out for quite


    a


    long time.


    “Madam.” Wanda saw Reba return suddenly and was shocked. She nervously approached and


    exined, “Miss was frightened!”


    “Hmm. You’re dismissed for now,” Reba said in a serious tone.


    Previously, she was so anxious.


    Now, her expression toward Christina was stern.


    After Natalie’s reminder, on her way back, she tried to follow Christina’s rtionships with the women


    rted to Cedric,


    Isabe… Jocelyn! Natalie!


    +15 BONUS


    Undoubtedly, Christina had extremely unfavorable rtionships with them. Why were they


    unfavorable? Previously, Christina could exin that she didn’t like Natalie because of Reba.


    Isabe was the same.


    But what about Jocelyn? What about those women from the past? She remembered that Christina had


    personally handed her a lot of rted information.


    She initially found those socialites appealing, but in the end, her attitude changed because of what


    Christina showed her,


    In this recent incident…


    It was about Jocelyn.


    Now, Reba even doubted the authenticity of those things. She wondered about the true nature of


    her
