Chapter 720 Natalie, He Never Owed You Anything : When Natalie returned, she walked into a heated scene between Reba and Heather! Two servants were dragging Reba out while Heather''s face was pale, and her chest was heaving.


    Instantly, Natalie''s anger red up! When Heather saw that Natalie had returned, she rushed forward and pulled her aside. "Go upstairs!" "What''s going on?" Natalie asked.


    Having spent so much time at Lotus Vi, she naturally knew what kind of person her mother was. Heather was


    elegant and gentle.


    From that, Natalie could tell that the situation here before she returned must have been tense! However, before Heather could speak! Reba angrily shouted, "Natalie, where do you think your eyes came from? You said Cedric owed you, but in reality, he-" Before Reba could finish her sentence, Heather harshly interrupted.


    "Shut up!" Natalie fell silent.


    Reba wanted to say more, but someone had covered her mouth. She red at Natalie with unprecedented hatred.


    Once, she had always looked at Natalie with such eyes. Ever since marrying Cedric, Reba had always looked at Natalie that way...! She had never given Natalie a pleasant expression. Now, after specting about what happened in Yonwood City, Reba''s hatred boiled over.


    "Nat, go upstairs." "Mom, I-!" "Go upstairs!" Natalie''s words were cut short by Heather''s furious rebuke.


    It was the first time Heather had spoken to Natalie with such a tone, a clear indication of how deeply disturbing the current situation was for her.


    Natalie wanted to ask more questions,


    but seeing the scene before her, she  ultimately held her tongue.


    Finally, she turned and went inside.


    With newfound strength, Reba broke free from the servants holding her and shouted after Natalie''s retreating figure, "Natalie, he doesn''t owe you anything! He never owed you anything! He lost everything for you! You''re the cruelest person! Even your eyes... Ugh!"  Reba''s hysterical rant of using Natalie ended abruptly as the servants threw her out!  The scene descended into chaos.


    In all the years at Lotus Vi, such an intense altercation had never urred.


    It was reminiscent of a street brawl!


    Reba was expelled from Lotus Vi. | | The night returned to its quiet state.


    When Heather came in, she looked disheveled, and her hair was slightly messy. Natalie''s heart clenched at the sight of her mother.


    Approaching Heather, Natalie l16oked her up and down. Seeing that Heather was unharmed, a weight lifted from her heart, albeit temporarily.


    However, turmoil brewed within her.


    Did she regret it? Yes, she did! Her rtionship with Cedric, especially


    after Isabe intervened, was something she truly regretted! Even after learning that Irwin ~~ orchestrated everything, Natalie never believed it was a past she could forgive.


    Consequently, she always regretted it! But now, this regret was multiplying and festering in her heart. The most helpless thing for a woman was to marry a man, especially one who disturbed her family''s peace! It was over! In fact, the rtionship between her and Cedric had ended long ago.


    But why was Cedric still constantly influencing her life?


    Even after he disappearedpletely from her life, why was it that her life continued to be tumultuous because of him?! Such a feeling was unbearable for Natalie! Nestling into Heather''s embrace, she wrapped her slender arms around Heather''s waist.


    "I''m sorry, Mom, I was wrong!" She was truly wrong.


    Back then, Bianca warned her about Cedric. She said that dating Cedric might be eptable, but if they got married...! At the time, Bianca, as awyer, had already foreseen the misfortune of a mismatched marriage.


    So before Natalie married Cedric, Bianca was the first and only person to advise her against it. — And Bianca was right.


    Even though it was over now, that man still endlessly influenced her life, even... affecting her family! Heather patted Nataliefortingly on her back and said, "It''s okay. As long as I''m here, no one will ever bully you again!" Natalie fell silent. Tears welled up in her eyes and flowed down uncontrobly. Her adoptive mother also used to protect her like this. But ever since she passed away, Natalie''s life had been tumultuous.


    For along time afterward, Natalie bore everything that happened in her life


    alone.


    With Heather protecting her like this now, Natalie''s heart slowly filled with pain and gratitude.


    And this gratitude made her cherish Heather even more! "In the future, I won''t let anyone disturb you." Obviously, the "anyone" referred to Reba.


    Natalie didn''t expect Reba to be so troublesome. They had been apart for so many years, yet Reba could still cause chaos in Natalie''s life.


    "I''ll protect you, my darling. I''m here," Heather whispered repeatedly.


    No one knew how tumultuous


    Heather''s heart was tonight. Watching Reba behave unreasonably like a shrew, she couldn''t help but wonder how agonizing Natalie''s days in the Johnson family had been.


    Reba! She didn''t behave like a dignifieddy at all! How could she be so unreasonable and even resort to violence when feeling ufortable? Dealing with such a person was more than exhausting! Even in many instances, facing such people would make others fall into endless despair.


    And Natalie had been with Cedric for a full ten years!


    How many times had Reba made life difficult for Natalie during those ten years? Reba had even tried to stop Natalie from marrying Cedric! Did she eveny hands on Natalie? Thinking of those scenes, Heather''s heart clenched painfully! After a long time, Heather finally calmed down. She said to Natalie, "You must have been scared tonight, right?" After all, Natalie had never experienced such a scene before. Today was the first time Heather had brought out the fierce beast from her heart.


    "Mom..." Once again, Natalie snuggled into


    Heather''s embrace! When she endured all those troubles with the Johnson family, nobody had ever protected her so assertively.


    Instead of being scared tonight, Natalie was moved.


    Seeing Heather''s domineering attitude, Natalie finally realized howughable Cedric''s defenses and protections for her were! Ultimately, Natalie was never the one who held Cedric''s heart. So, how could he have genuinely cared for her? She was just a substitute, so what if she faced some troubles? A substitute! It was such a ridiculous existence.

    "Yeah?" "In the past, you''ve really suffered!" a Dealing with such inws was simply a headache.
