    +15 BONUS


    Christina looked at Cedric. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but her gaze fell


    on the card he held in his hand.


    She instantly paled.


    “Ced, I…”


    At this moment, countless words gathered in her mind, creating utter chaos. Reason told her to deny


    everything, but the fear sparked by that card threw her entire sense of reason into disarray.


    Trembling, she looked at Cedric with eyes filled with fear.


    Smack!


    The card smacked against Christina’s face, mingling with the blood on her face before falling to the


    ground.


    Seeing the card on the floor, Reba stepped forward to pick it up. But before she could bend down,


    Christina quickly grabbed it and instinctively hid it behind her.


    “It’s not what you think, Ced! Let me exin!”


    Christina’s voice trembled with every word she spoke.


    Seeing Christina’s reaction, Reba asked, “What is that?”


    Her heart pounded loudly in her ears


    What could make Cedric so angry?


    “Ced…”


    “Alright. Exin!” Cedric coldly looked at


    Christina on the ground, his eyes glinting with icy coldness.


    This was the first time Cedric treated Christina this way. Before, he had always protected her,


    especially when it came to Natalie.


    Yet now, he was unexpectedly treating her like this.


    Tears fell, mingling with blood. But even in such a pitiful state, Cedric was unmoved.


    He looked at Christina with a cold disappointment in his eyes.


    He had always defended her, yet….


    +15 BONUS


    It was her! It had always been her…!


    At this moment, memories of Natalie exining things to him repeatedly shed into his mind.


    “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”


    “I lost that card a long time ago!”


    “I didn’t do those things!”


    He had never given her a chance, even after she hadid everything out so inly and exined it to


    him.


    Yet, he had never believed her!


    Not once!


    He had investigated, and Stefan had given him the evidence.


    And it had all pointed to Natalie.


    But who would have thought that the main evidence, this card, was hidden deep in his sister’s dressing


    table, covered in ayer of dust?


    “Give it to me” Seeing Christina trembling and unable to speak, Reba reached out and snatched the


    card away.


    Christina had wanted to struggle, but she didn’t dare hurt Reba.


    Reba saw just a bank card and studied it carefully. She looked up and down but couldn’t figure out


    what was wrong.


    “It’s just an old bank card. What are you making a fuss about? Reba asked Cedric, inexplicably


    angry,


    Cedric’s gaze remained on Christina. At this moment, his l*ps curled into a cold smile.


    “Yes, it’s just an old bank card. More urately, it’s Natalie’s old bank card. Why is it in your


    possession?”


    Reba eximed, “W–what? Natalie’s?”


    She looked at Cedric in shock, then at the card, then at Christina.


    Full of confusion, she asked, “Why do you have Natallo’s bank card?”


    Indeed, why was the card in Christina’s hands?


    Upon hearing that it was ‘Natalle’s bank card, Isabe couldn’t help but feel her heart skip a beat. Her


    face


    turned a shade paler.


    +15 BONUS


    Naturally, this card was a significant part of her and Christina’s n in plotting against Natalie..


    This damn woman! She didn’t even hide such an important thing properly!


    Of course, since Cedric and Natalie got married, he had never entered Christina’s room. Christina


    never


    thought Cedric would search her room.


    But who would have thought that tonight, what was originally meant to be a scheme against Isabe,


    turned out to be the root cause of all this?


    No one could have foreseen that Cedric would identally knock over the dressing table, causing the


    card to fall right in front of him


    dinto


    “What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?” Cedric s l*ps curled into a cold smile as he mocked Christina


    lying


    on the ground.


    At this moment, Christina looked at Cedric in fear.


    Reba was equally furious. She red at Christina and said, ‘Speak up! How did this card end up


    with


    you?”


    Considering their rtionship, it couldn’t have been a gift from Natalie.


    So, did Christina steal it?


    Thinking of this possibility, Reba almost fainted.


    “–Isabe gave it to me,” Christina 1 nally said, looking


    Yes, Isabe!


    at Isabe,


    In the Johnson family, Christina’s mother, brother, and grandmother would believe whatever she said.


    Since they needed an exnation, this was hers!

    With these words, the air fell silent again.


    Isabe wore a white V–neck dress tonight,plemented by a white ribbon covering her eyes, which


    gave her an ethereal presence.


    At Christina’s words, the gazes that were initially on Christina now shifted directly to the blindfolded.


    Isabe.


    As everyone focused on her, she smiled lightly and sald softly, “Ced, do you really think I could have


    gotten my hands on Nat’s card?”

    +15 BONUS


    Her wordspletely shattered Christina’s exnation, plunging it into the abyss of lies.


    They all knew the rtionship between Isabe and Natalie. Natalie couldn’t have given Isabe her


    bank


    card or given her the chance to steal it.


    So, when Christina imed to have received it from Isabe, Isabe didn’t even need to exin much.


    Upon hearing Isabe’s words, Christina’s eyes turned bloodshot


    “Isabe, how dare you say you didn’t give me this card?!”


    Her words carried a veiled warning.


    After all, they were aplices in so many things. Why should she bear the burden alone now?


    However, a resounding p echoed through the spacious hall the next moment.


    Christina felt the burning impact on her face.


    A man’s roar quickly followed the pain, “You dare to threaten her?!”


    “Ced, I’m your sister. How can you not trust me?”


    p!


    “Ugh!”


    “Ced!”


    The sound of the p, Christina’s muffled groan, and Reba’s exmation filled the entire scene.


    The atmosphere froze as if time stood still.


    Even Lucas was standing stiffly in ce. He was eventually brought back to reality by the vibration of


    his


    phone.


    ncing at the chaotic scene, he picked up his phone and turned away


    Cedric’s two ps left Christina’s mind ringing. There was the taste of blood in her mouth, and she


    wasn’t


    sure where she was injured.


    In the chaotic daze, she looked at Cedric. Her face was burning in pain, and she opened her mouth to


    speak.


    “I was just trying to say.”


    “Tina, that’s enough!”


    +15 DONUS


    Reba cut off Christina’s words. She keenly sensed the ominous atmosphere surrounding Cedric.


    If Christina continued, no one might be able to stop Cedric


    As a young girl, how much force could she withstand?


    “Don’t say anything.” Reba steadied herself despite the anger burning within her.


    Christina wanted to exin.


    Last time in Scarlet Vi, Cedric had already had such strong objections to her actions. If she didn’t


    rify things today, she might lose all chance to.


    But before she could speak, Lucas, who had been answering the phone outside, rushed in and said


    urgently. “Sir, there’s a big problem at the detention center!”
