Chapter 248


    Chapter 248 Christina Has Gone Mad


    Reba was currently overwhelmed.


    Initially, she was already frustrated when Christina was taken away.


    Now, with Cedric acting like this, it added to her distress.


    The rumors surrounding the Johnson family are spreading like wildfire, especially concerning their


    adopted daughter.


    “Ced, Tina can’t stay inside. Her presence there has a certain impact on our family,” Reba said


    urgently.


    In influential circles, reputation was closely tied to businesses. Reba’s words are an attempt to


    persuade Cedric to let Christina go. She knew that Cedric was the one to have handed over the


    evidence.


    However, Cedric seemed to ignore her words. He calmly lifted a ss of red wine and took a sip.


    Reba became more anxious. “Although she’s not your biological sister, she grew up with you. How


    can


    you do this for the sake of an-


    “She wasn’t an outsider!” Cedric looked at his mother again, his eyes filled with disappointment and


    sorrow.


    See?


    Every time Reba mentioned Natalie, he could basically guess what she was going to say.


    An outsider?


    Hah…!


    So, how did his mother treat this outsider when he wasn’t around Natalie?


    Reba was momentarily stunned. When she saw the pain in Cedric’s eyes, she finally realized that


    she


    of him. couldn’t treat Natalie so casually in front


    “I wasn’t going to say that.”


    “Then what was she? How did you see her?


    Two sharp questions left Reba speechless.


    She wanted to ask more, but seeing Cedric’s expression, all words were stuck in her throat.


    Onginally, she wanted to plead for Christina. But looking at Cedric’s current state, she knew there was

    However, his living with Natalie’s ashes at Scarlet Vi was something Reba couldn’t ept.


    “In any case, you should let her rest in peace!”


    She had to think of some other way to deal with what happened with Christina.


    But regarding her son, she wasn’t going to watch him sink into despair.


    This time, Cedric doesn’t argue. He simply said, “Yes, she will”


    Reba should have been happy with this answer. However, Cedric’s words sounded like he had let


    go of everything.


    just letting go of Natalie, but also letting go of himself.


    Was this indicating that he was going to follow Natalie?


    “Ced…”


    When Reba thought of this, her voice started trembling


    No, it couldn’t be!


    Cedric remained silent, quietly eating his food. It was as if Natalie was still sitting there, elegantly


    enjoying her meal just like before.


    Ever since he moved to Scarlet Vi, Cedric had always sat in that seat with Natalie by his side.


    asionally, he would ce some of Natalie’s favorite dishes on her te.


    Just like now.


    He removed the fat from a piece of pork and left only the lean meat on Natalle’s empty te.


    Reba felt numb watching this. She realized that there was no point in saying anything to Cedric at


    this


    moment.


    Eventually, she turned and reluctantly left.


    Christina was currently being held in the central detention center, undergoing continuous interrogations.


    Despite the relentless questioning, she insisted that Isabe gave her the card.


    During this time, Isabe was also brought in. However, unlike Christina, Isabe was released within

    On the other hand, Christina hadn’t been able to leave since she entered.


    “I want to see my brother.”


    That had been Christina’s most frequent request these days. She just wanted to see Cedric


    However, the response she received was cold.


    “All the evidence has been verified now. Your request is meaningless.”


    “I want to see my brother.” Christina looked at the person in front of her with madness in her eyes.


    She had gone mad, finally driven to madness


    When the person said that all the evidence had been verified, her days of perseverance were


    completely.


    shattered.


    No matter what she did over the years or whenever people around her began to suspect her, she


    always found a way to escape without being doubted.


    How many times had she thrown dirt on Natalie? She even wanted to forget every single incident she


    had


    done!


    She would always remember how she sessfully broke Natalie each time. She had always been


    wless in her nning.


    Clearly, everyone was on her side.


    So why?


    Why were these people interrogating her day and night?


    Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Why didn’t Cedrice to see her yet?


    Even her mother, who used to adore her, hadn’te!


    “I didn’t do it! It wasn’t me!” That was the only thing Christina could say after all the questioning.


    She was smart and knew that until someone from the Johnson family arrived, denying everything was


    the


    best strategy.


    Don’t answer any questions directly.


    “Ms. Johnson, what we’re asking is…”


    +15 BONUS


    “Don’t ask anymore! I don’t know anything!” Christina screams in despair.


    She refused to speak or say anything. She believed that the Johnson family woulde for her.


    They must be angry now. But once their anger subsided, they woulde to take her away.


    Christina didn’t believe that the Johnson family would abandon her.


    But thinking about how Isabe was now being protected by Cedric, even though Isabe participated


    in


    everything she did…


    Why was Christina the only one undergoing this interrogation?


    What about Isabe?!


    Christina clenched her teeth even tighter when she thought about Isabe, refusing to admit anything.


    The waiting was the longest and most agonizing.


    Christina didn’t know how she managed tost inside the detention center.


    Once, in the face of irrefutable evidence, Natalie still had room for resistance. She was inside, but there


    were many people outside helping her.


    However, Christina had been inside for a full two weeks. Not a single person hade to see her.


    No one has cast a nce at her.


    She didn’t even know if someone outside was helping her like they did for Natalie. Would the Johnson.


    family help her this time? Did Cedric still trust her?


    The longer the time went on, the more she lost confidence in this.


    A person without confidence was destined to gradually descend into despair.


    Finally…


    After half a month, someone came to see her.


    She thought Cedric had forgiven her and finally agreed to take her out.


    However, to her surprise, the person she saw in the reception room was not Cedric or Reba but…


    Wanda!


    It was just a servant from the Johnson family.

    “Wanda?” Christina looked at Wanda and nced behind her. There was endless disappointment in


    her eyes.


    Seeing Christina looking so gaunt, Wanda’s eyes were filled with pity.


    “Oh, Ms. Christina. You’ve suffered so much.”


    Wanda, whose hair had turned considerably white, looked extremely haggard at this moment. Christina


    ignored all of this and coldly asked in a disgruntled tone, Where’s my mom?”
