    Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Amidst the turmoil of these two lifetimes, whatever beauty existed between them has ultimately been reced entirely by agony.


    What was tragic was that now she found herself needing to put an end to it all in such a manner! It had been too long.


    After all, if Cedric were indeed to bring Ka back, then their confrontation would be excruciatingly prolonged! It was truly tiresome.


    For Natalie, severing everything between her and Cedric was worth resorting to such means.


    The next day, the news of Natalie and Austin''s wedding was announced, and it was quite a unique matter.


    They dered it a shotgun marriage.


    The news said that Austin and Natalie had a daughter long ago, and the child was now grown up.


    Whose child was it really?  Of course, it was Cedric and Natalie''s.


    What was the real story?  Was it to make Austin give up potential benefits from the Jarvis family just to have Natalie and Luna?  No one knew why Austin, who had been acting like a fool for so many years, suddenly changed his mind and


    started showing deep affection for the daughter of the Jarvis family.


    This news caused a sensation throughout Simeria,pletely overshadowing the news between Icarus and Christina.


    When Reba saw this news...


    Bang!  She threw her phone against the wall, instantly shattering it.


    Her heart was in turmoil!  "That wretched woman!" Reba was truly infuriated.


    She never imagined that Natalie would really get together with Austin.


    Upon reading the news, Christina tensed up. She had believed that


    bing the fifthdy of the Entes  family would elevate her status above  Natalie''s.


    However, little did she know that she  would still have to refer to Natalie as  her sister-inw, even in a new  family!  Was Natalie even worthy of entering  the Entes family?!  While thinking about it, Christina''s  eyes were filled with a malicious look.


    At this moment, Lionel arrived. He looked at Christina and said, "Ms.


    Johnson, Lord Icarus has asked us to take you back." "Back? To where?" Reba was taken aback. Their n was to teach Natalie a lesson by staying  A 1D


    in Simeria and retrieving Luna with Icarus'' support.


    Who would have thought that such a thing would happen...?  Reba''s heart pounded heavily against her ribcage.


    "To where you should be, of course," Lionel said solemnly.


    To where she should be? Was he talking about Verde City''a prison?! "No! Why?!" Christina finally reacted, realizing that Icarus intended to send her away.


    What was this?! Was he...?  i''1t seems that Ms. Jarvis doesn''t care about you, so..."  "So I''m useless now? Is that it?!"


    Christina now understood this point clearer than ever before, but she still couldn''t believe what she was seeing: Natalie... It was all because of Natalie again!  "I''m not going back! I refuse! I want to stay here!" Christina eximed.


    Leaving this ce was not an option.


    She had fought hard for her freedom, and the fresh air outside was too refreshing to leave behind.


    How could she be willing to go back to prison?  Just the thought of that ce made Christina''s heart tighten continuously.


    It was the ce she least wanted to face in her life.


    She didn''t want to go back.


    She absolutely didn''t want to go back! Lionel''s eyes dimmed. "It''s not up to you!"  Christina screamed, "What are you doing?! What are you-"  When Reba was faced with the scene in front of her, she was unsure how to react. The changes in Simeria happened so quickly that it was almost impossible to keep up.


    But how could they leave now?  No matter what, they couldn''t leave, right?  "Mom! Mom... I won''t go back!" Christina shouted.


    "Tina!" Reba started to panic. She didn''t expect that things would turn out this way. The days with Christina around had been much better for her, and her mood had greatly improved.


    At least she didn''t feel like she had nothing. With Christina by her side, it was good.


    So, how could she bear to be parted from her adoptive daughter again? Christina was especially unwilling. She had been waiting all these years for Cedric... and even Reba.


    In the end, her wait had been in vain.


    She also knew that once she went back to prison, it would be difficult for her toe out again.


    "Mom... Mom!" Christina kept crying, but Reba was helpless now.


    "Tina!"  The scene was intense.


    It''s all because of Natalie.


    Christina never imagined that Natalie would one day be the determining factor of her gains and losses.


    Icarus intended to use her to coerce Natalie into marrying him, but who could have predicted that it would ultimately expedite Natalie''s marriage to Austin?  Although Christina was unaware of what had happened behind the scenes, she realized that she was now insignificant to Icarus after Natalie and Austin''s engagement had been


    announced.


    Icarus wasn''t a man who would support someone who was useless.


    So it was easy to tell what would happen.


    "Why? Why...?" Christinapletely broke down.


    She was once proud and mighty. How could she lose everything because of Natalie?  This wasn''t fair!  Christina and Reba''s reunion was like fireworks. It started beautifully butsted only a short time before it was extinguished!  Reba was in despair.


    "Madam, let''s go," Calvin said to Reba.


    There was nothing they could do about Christina, and staying here would not benefit them in any way.


    At this point, Reba understood it was impossible to snatch Luna from Natalie''s hands.


    Reba had stepped all over Natalie in the past, and now, Natalie was an existence she couldn''t overturn.


    "Why is the world so unfair? What did Tina do wrong? She was just a tool that was used!" Reba''s tone was full of sadness when she said this.


    After all, she had raised Christina herself. How could she bear to see Christina be nothing but a pawn?


    However, when Calvin heard this, he thought of the situation between Natalie, Cedric, and Irwin.


    "When you put it that way, you can understand why Ms. Jarvis can''t  forgive Master Cedric and Mr.


    Frazier."  "What do you mean?" Reba couldn''t catch Calvin''s meaning.


    Calvin looked at Reba and replied, "Mr. Frazier had always been plotting against Master Cedric, and Ms. Jarvis was just his pawn!"  Whether Natalie liked it or not, she had been a pawn for striking back at Cedric.


    And that was precisely why Natalie couldn''t forgive them!
