    But Reba never expected this.


    She never expected such news to be waiting for her at the end.


    How could this have happened?


    How did things escte to this point?


    Natalie had repeatedly pressured Cedric!


    She... hated him!


    Did she hate him for not protecting her all those years?


    "If she wants revenge, why not take it out on me? It was me! I was the one who wanted to tear them


    apart! I was the one who looked down on her!"


    Reba''s emotions werepletely out of control.


    Yes, it was her!


    It was Reba who brought them to this point of enmity. She never imagined that the moment two


    people in love turned against each other would be so hysterical.


    It was... terrifying!


    Heather listened indifferently to it all. "It''s over. Everything has ended."


    Yes!


    It was over!


    At least, that was how it was in Natalie''s view. Natalie had epted this ending calmly, right?


    At that moment, Reba choked out, "No, it''s not. She hasn''t gotten her revenge on me yet."


    Reba didn''t need anything else. She didn''t want anything else. As long as Cedric was safe, she


    could bear any consequences!


    Heather''s eyes dimmed.


    Revenge? On Reba?


    "It seems like you''re really not on the same level as us!"


    Revenge? Such a word was too harsh!


    What Natalie did to Cedric was never revenge.


    Those who didn''t understand this didn''t know anything at all!


    "He didn''t do anything wrong!" Reba continued as if she hadn''t heard Heather''s words.


    Yes.


    Regarding Natalie, Cedric didn''t do anything wrong. The only mistake he made was insisting on being


    with Natalie back then. No matter how others tried to stop him or what happened between them, he


    insisted on being with Natalie.


    That was what hurt Reba the most!


    Back then, she looked down on Natalie. Reba couldn''t bring herself to like Natalie at all. She


    thought Natalie was too delicate.


    With how petite she was, it was clear she couldn''t bear children. Reba couldn''t allow her son to be


    with such a woman.


    Her son was so outstanding. There were so many good women in the world. Why did he have to set his


    sights on Natalie?


    "Hah!"


    Heather snorted when she heard Reba say that Cedric hadn''t done anything wrong.


    "Then, in your view, what would you consider to be wrong?"


    At that moment, Heather finally understood why Cedric was so indifferent to right from wrong!


    With a mother like Reba, what kind of morals did he have? Reba had raised Cedric, and a


    mother''s influence on her children was immense.


    What was considered to be wrong?


    When Heather asked Reba this question, thetter also silently asked herself...


    What was wrong?!


    "Me. I was the wrong one."


    "Hah...!"


    What a great mother Cedric had! At critical moments, she took all the me upon herself.


    Heather looked at Reba and mockingly said, "This is all really your fault."


    Didn''t Reba also have a hand in pushing Natalie and Cedric to this point?


    Heather recalled that Reba had taken Isabe in as her goddaughter and even been very kind to


    her.


    Reba knew full well what Isabe''s existence meant in Cedric and Natalie''s rtionship, and she


    still insisted on bringing Isabe into her circle.


    Although Reba had taken different measurester on, those were far from enough.


    That was Heather''s opinion.


    It was wrong... Ultimately, it was still wrong, wasn''t it?!


    "Just leave!"


    Heather couldn''t be bothered with someone like Reba, whose values were so skewed.


    In fact, there were plenty of people like her in Simeria. It was why Heather rarely participated in the


    social circles of married women over the years.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    They were filled with a bunch of boring women with questionable values and were truly unappealing in


    every aspect.


    She wouldn''t waste her time with them.


    At that moment, Reba looked at Heather and pleaded, "Mrs. Jarvis, I''m begging you!"


    "What good does it do for you to beg me?" Heather shot back.


    "I just want to know what happened to him!"


    Reba had never been in such a desperate state in her life.


    However, she never imagined that Natalie''s parents would be such high-ranking individuals in Simeria!


    When she found out about Natalie''s identity, why hadn''t Reba met Heather?


    It was because Reba couldn''t face her.


    The only thing Reba could do was to withdraw from Cedric and Natalie''s lives, but this withdrawal


    was so bitter!


    Reba never expected that the next news she received about their lives would be about her son in


    such a state.


    How could she ept this?


    "I just want to know if my son is okay!"


    Where in the world was he?!


    Heather was also a mother!


    Once, Heather had also desperately pleaded with the heavens like Reba was pleading with her


    now.


    When she saw Reba''s desperation, Heather also felt like showing some mercy!


    However, just thinking about how Reba had treated Natalie in the past made her emotions


    uncontroble.


    She said, "He took all his people and left Wexford without even thinking of taking you. It shows he''s


    disappointed in you as a mother."


    Reba''s face was already ashen, and it turned even paler upon hearing Heather''s words.


    Disappointed?


    Did disappointment mean Cedric could discard his own mother? Did he even understand what his


    departure in this manner meant to Reba?


    Even though she hadn''t been involved in this period, she had always kept an eye on him!


    Despite feeling some disappointment in him regarding Natalie and Christina''s matters, he was still her


    son.


    It was different. No matter how disappointed he made her, Cedric was still her only son.


    Now, Heather''s words undoubtedly struck Reba hard.


    The pain slowly but surely spread through her heart, and it was so suffocating...!


    Reba left Lotus Vi in a daze.


    At that moment, she felt as if she had lost everything. The Johnson Manor was once so magnificent.


    But ever since Cedric left, the Johnson family hadpletely fallen.


    Originally, she had been very devoted to the Johnson family. After learning about Cedric''s background


    in Wexford, she also came to terms with it.


    Actually, Reba was a woman with a tragic fate. From beginning to end, she never knew what kind of


    person her husband really was.


    Even his life and death... had nothing to do with her!


    Was it because she didn''t want to be involved?


    No. It was because that man never gave her a chance to be involved! Even her only son had done the


    same.


    For some unknown reason, Cedric left Wexford and returned to the Johnson family. When he did so,


    Reba gave him everything the Johnson family had.


    She thought that was the best for her son!


    But now, looking back, what was the point?


    Those... meant nothing to Cedric and that man!


    "Why... Why?"


    Why did it have to be like this?


    Looking back now, Reba realized how unbearable her life had be, and she didn''t even know


    how she had ended up where she was today.
