Chapter 22 Her Determination
Currently, public opinion in Verde City was escalating rapidly.
Having experienced it once before, Natalie naturally knew what lay ahead for her, with everything echoing her past life. As long as she remained married to Cedric, those people would never find peace.
Her only way out now was to distance herself…
She suspected that Isabella’s legs and eyes were perfectly fine. Those people were currently trying to drive her insane, believing that Cedric would also demand a divorce.
They would never consider that she, who relied solely on Cedric, would leave of her own volition. So, temporarily leaving Verde City was also a counterattack against them.
“Shall come to see you off?”
“No need. You have your own things to do. And…” Natalie thought momentarily and continued, “If Cedric threatens you because of the divorce, don’t resist it. I have a plan.”
“I’m not afraid of him!” declared Bianca in a noticeably firmer tone.
Natalie rubbed her temples and closed her eyes. “I know you’re not, but I am.”
Ever since Cedric took over the Johnson family, he had been an unpredictable figure to the outside world. If there was one person he had shown warmth to, it was her.
But now…
She didn’t want Bianca to be implicated because of her.
“I will definitely see this through to the end,” Bianca insisted, even though she knew this lawsuit wouldn’t

“Natalie, who do you think you are to file for divorce? Withdraw the lawsuit immediately.”
Natalie furrowed her brows.
Rebecca had always been proud of having a son whom all the women in the world adored, and thought
that no woman in the world could match up to him! Within the circle of society wives, Rebecca had
Now, besides the public opinion about her and Isabella, this divorce lawsuit had become the biggest joke in Verde City, making Rebecca anxious!
“Come to the manor immediately.” Rebecca said in a commanding tone, as if she were the queen of a
nation.
Natalie rolled down the car window, letting in the cold wind that chilled her to the bone.
“What for? Are you planning to hand me a check?” she responded in a slightly hostile tone.
Was Rebecca trying to buy her marital rights for the past three years through such ordinary means? Was the older woman going to use the most common methods to continuously trample on her?
“Natalie!” Rebecca screamed in anger.
“If your son was willing to sign the divorce papers, would I really need to take him to court? Don’t call me again. Talk to your son!”
Having said that, Natalie hung up immediately.
The cold wind blew away the bitterness in her eyes, leaving her feeling relieved. No one knew what it felt like to suddenly rise up after years of oppression. Maybe there was some fear… But more than that, there
Rebecca interrupted Christina in a stern tone, “Sister–in–law? Pah! Your brother will divorce her sooner or
“Okay, I got it. She’ll eventually leave our family. Don’t be angry, okay?”
