    Chapter 235 A Strange Birthday Party


    Cedric took a sip of water before turning his cold and piercing gaze on Lucas.


    “Do you know what to do?”


    “Yes, sir.”


    Lucas understood once he heard Cedric’s tone. He turned and left, leaving Cedric alone in the study.


    Cedric looked nkly at the wall for a while.


    Stephen… waspletely ignoring Natalie?


    His inaction seemed anything but simple.


    “Natalie…” he murmured softly.


    At this moment, Cedric also realized that Natalie had changedpletely since divorcing him, even in


    personality.


    But whether she confessed or not, she had to stay inside now!


    Time passed swiftly, and it was soon time for Christina’s birthday banquet. During this period, some felt


    like time was dragging on, while others felt like they were living in a dream.


    This applied to Christina, Isabe… and Natalie!


    Although somewhat disappointed in Christina, Reba ensured her birthday banquet would be


    extravagant.


    Inside her room, Christina was dressed like a delicate doll as Wanda attended to her. Wanda’s eyes


    were


    filled with indulgence as she looked at Christina.


    “Miss, Master Cedric is here.”


    There was a hint of gravity in Wanda’s tone when she spoke.


    Christina turned around and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”


    Seeing Wanda’s unusual expression, Christina reached out and took Wanda’s hand. For some reason,


    she


    could smell a very familiar scent on Wanda.

    Wanda touched her hair and said, “Ms. Morgan is also here.”

    Christina’s expression stiffened for a moment at the mention of Isabe.


    Then, she paled.


    Memories shed in her mind. Back at Scarlet Vi, when Isabe manipted her…


    It was the first time Cedric protected someone else.


    Isabe did have some tricks up her sleeves!


    “How dare she!”


    When Isabe was mentioned, Christina’s initial good mood waspletely gone. For years, her


    birthday


    had been celebrated with her grandmother, mother, and brother,


    When Natalie appeared, she always felt ufortable.


    Now that she had finally driven Natalie away, Isabe showed up!


    More importantly, Isabe dared to manipte even her!


    “Miss.”


    “I don’t want to see her!” Christina said petntly..


    Christina was upset just thinking about that woman.


    Isabe had deceived her so miserably and also took Cedric away from her.


    How could she not be upset?


    Seeing Christina’s stubborn attitude, Wandaforted her, “It’s your birthday banquet. Don’t


    embarrass yourself because of her,”


    “Wanda.”


    “Right now, she is important to Master Cedric.”


    Wanda spoke directly, preparing Christina mentally. After all, if Wanda hadn’t told her now, Christinal


    would likely have caused a scene when she saw Isabe at the banquet.


    Isabe was much more formidable than Natalie, and now Cedric was somewhat protective of her.


    Christina’s tantrums wouldn’t do any good for her.


    “Hmph, that bitch!”

    for brothers


    Christina was furious. She knew very well that Isabe was important to And because of


    this importance, Christina wished she could tear her to pieces!


    A sinister look shed in her eyes.


    So what?


    Christina had managed to drive even Natalie away.


    What could a blind woman like Isabe do?


    Christina was very upset, and Wanda had tofort her for quite a while. When they went downstairs.


    Christina’s heart was in chaos when she saw Cedric keep Isabe by his side.


    “Mom,”


    Coming to Reba’s side, she affectionately took Reba’s arm.


    Reba’s expression finally eased a bit after seeing Christina. Today’s birthday banquet was probably


    the


    most displeasing event for Reba in these years, even more so than when Natalie was around.


    Her son showed up with this blind woman, and all the guests were aristocrats from wealthy families.


    When they looked at her, those nobledies‘ eyes were filled with hidden mockery.


    “You’re the star today. Go and greet the guests properly, okay?


    “Of course!”


    Christina let go of Reba’s arm and went to greet everyone. Then, seemingly nonchntly, she


    walked


    toward Cedric and Isabe.


    Cedric was chatting with an elder. Even so, he was holding onto Isabe.


    The protective gesture made Christina insanely jealous.


    “You’ve always had good taste; it’s just a pity for this youngdy,” an elderly uncle said to Cedric.


    The way he looked at Isabe carried a hint of pity.


    However, due to the previous conflicts between Natalie and Isabe, most people’s gazes towards.


    Isabe were not friendly.


    This brought somefort to Christina.


    When Cedric heard the words ‘pity, he patted Isabe’s hand gently.

    Isabe said, “I’m fine.”


    “Are you tired?” Cedric asked with concern.


    “No. I’m fine,” Isabe replied.


    The two made a harmonious image, standing together. Except for Isabe’s eyes, she looked beautiful


    from any angle.


    Christina approached with a warm and gracious smile,


    “Ced.”


    Christina was a bit nervous when she approached then, especially considering what happened at


    Scarlet Vi. She hadn’t seen Cedric since then.


    Fortunately, on her birthday, Cedric didn’t show any displeasure.


    “Yeah,” he replied casually.


    Christina didn’t mind his indifferent reaction and boldly approached, linking arms with Isabe.


    “Be, you’re finally here.


    Their intimate appearance made it hard for anyone to detect their previous discord.


    Upon seeing the broken ne in Isabe’s hand, Christina eximed, “This ne is broken?!”


    “Yeah, I identally broke it just now.”


    Isabe didn’t say she had identally broken the ne on Cedric’s suit button just now.


    Acting unusually generous, Christina said, “Ced, let me take Isabe to my room to pick a new one.”


    Upon hearing this, Isabe subconsciously tightened her grip on Cedric’s arm. She naturally knew that


    Christina Inviting her alone was definitely not a good sign.


    There were many people today, and she didn’t want to put herself in a disadvantageous position.


    So, she had made up her mind not to be alone with Christina before she came. And because of the


    Incident at Scarlet Vi, Cedric was naturally not at ease with Christina taking Isabe away.


    “No need for that,” Cedric spoke before Isabe could. He nced at Isabe and said, “This is fine.”


    “It doesn’t quite match!” Christina said, looking at Isabe’s neck.


    She smiled, ‘Isabe’s neck is fair and long. It would look even better with a ne. How about you


    +15 BONUS


    Seeing Christina speak like this, Cedric subconsciously looked at Isabe’s neck. He had to admit that


    with Isabe’s deep V–neck dress today, she did need a ne,


    “Sure. Wait for me here,” Cedric said to Isabe.


    With so many people around, Cedric was sure Christina wouldn’t dare to do anything suspicious. It was


    clear that Isabe thought the same.


    Everything was fine as long as they weren’t alone, especially since Lucas was still here.


    Cedric left, and Christina’s grip on Isabel a’s arm tightened.


    To onlookers who were near them, they seemed like very good friends.


    However, Christina’s lowered voice carried a hint of malice when she spoke.


    “Do you think that I can’t do anything just because you’re avoiding me?”
