Chapter 12 Confrontation
As soon as Natalie returned to Scarlet Villa, she sensed that something was amiss when she walked
through the door.
Zoe greeted her at the entrance. Her expression seemed somewhat uneasy as she said, “Madam
Johnson is here.”
Natalie raised an eyebrow.
Thinking about her attitude towards Rebecca yesterday morning, she feared that the older woman would
come in person to confront her at night.
She ran her hand through her disheveled hair and walked inside, where she saw Rebecca sitting on the grand sofa with an air of superiority, much like a queen dowager.
In her previous life, every time Natalie saw Rebecca like this, she would quickly serve tea and water like a maid.
Back then, she was eager to please Cedric’s family. She didn’t realize that the more humble she appeared, the more they looked down on her.
She kicked off her shoes and casually threw her bag onto the sofa.
“Zoe.”
“Yes, Madam,” Zoe hurriedly entered and respectfully stood by Rebecca’s side.
At this moment, Natalie could see the disdain in her mother–in–law’s eyes. The contempt was impossible to hide.
Rebecca said, “Disinfect the place immediately. Coming out of a place like that brings bad luck. I wonder what kind of curse the Johnson family is under to have someone enter such a place for the first time in our long history!”
Natalie listened to these words and closed her eyes for a moment.
When she opened them again, her gaze was sharp.
Zoe looked at Natalie with a troubled expression. Natalie then removed her coat and threw it on the ground harshly.
Her actions made the woman sitting on the sofa narrow her eyes. When she heard Natalie’s attitude over the phone, she couldn’t believe it. But now, she felt that this woman was truly insane.
“What are you doing?”
“You’re right. Some people are truly bad luck,” Natalie replied in a tone that imitated Rebecca’s, her words
dripping with sarcasm.
Rebecca had said Natalie brought bad luck.
And here she was, with no other family by her side, referred to as the source of the Johnson family’s bad
luck as though it was the most natural thing on earth.
Natalie wouldn’t have spoken like this before. She had always followed her mother–in–law’s teachings.
But now, Natalie was rebellious and repulsive.
Rebecca was infuriated, and her face turned red with anger. “You’ve really grown a backbone, haven’t you?
Η
Natalie remained silent.
“Let me tell you, being a daughter–in–law of the Johnson family is not as easy as you think. Do you think I can’t make Ced divorce you?”
When Cedric entered, he heard Rebecca’s cutting remarks. His eyes grew cold, and the air around him turned heavy.
She said, “Madam Johnson, I think you’re mistaken. Soon, I’ll no longer be your daughter–in–law”
