Chapter 171 Threat
Rebecca watched Cedric’s face darkened, and her tone became even more uneasy.
“I know you’re blaming me, Cedric, but that was…
At this moment, Rebecca found it difficult to continue!
Cedric interrupted, “You said a year ago?”
“Yes, the last time was about a year ago. After that… Well, you know I’ve been busy settling your affairs.”
This was something Cedric knew.
Due to the ongoing conflict between her and Natalie, Cedric intentionally assigned her tasks to tie her up.
preventing her from causing trouble for Natalie.
A year ago…!
It was clear that Rebecca wasn’t the one responsible for the recent developments.
Cedric stood up and strode toward the exit.
Confused, Rebecca asked, “What’s wrong? Did she say something?”
Now that Natalie had status and position, Rebecca was sure she had said something unfavorable about
her to Cedric.
Instead of responding, Cedric slammed the door behind him, indicating his frustration.
Rebecca understood from his attitude that Natalie hadn’t said anything to Cedric.
If she had, his return today wouldn’t have been a simple conversation but a catastrophic argument.
Over the years, Cedric had argued with Rebecca many times because of Natalie.
Wanda emerged from the shadows. She stood behind Rebecca and said respectfully, “Madam, the young
mistress seems to have some capabilities!”
“More than just some. I underestimated her before,” Rebecca admitted, unsure of what to say regarding
this situation.
“But must she be the young mistress? Could we not find someone else?” Wanda asked as a hint of
calculation flashed in her eyes.
Rebecca closed her eyes.
“There’s no other way.”
Find someone else?
Without knowing everything about them, who knows what kind of person they might be?
Rebecca had learned her lesson with Jocelyn.
“If I may be so blunt, Madam… I feel that even if that woman agrees to remarry Master Cedric, it might not
be good for the Johnson family.
“Why do you say that?”
“Think about it. She now has such a powerful uncle. Previously, you didn’t like her, and that’s not a secret
in social circles. If you suddenly favor her so much, what would everyone else think?”
Of all the things to mention, Wanda had to say this…!
Rebecca’s eyes flashed with determination. “They would dare?!”
“While they may not say anything to your face, behind your back…”
Wanda trailed off.
Rebecca also understood that forcing Cedric and Natalie to remarry would have both positive and
negative consequences for the Johnson family.
“What do you suggest then?” Rebecca’s tone grew even more serious.
Wanda said, “Ms. Lambert and that woman are not good choices, but there is one person…”
“Who?”
“Why, the young miss, of course!”
“Tina?!” Rebecca’s expression grew even darker.
When Rebecca looked at Wanda, her expression changed completely. Wanda felt a chill from Rebecca’s
Intense gaze but continued bravely, “Ms. Tina is someone you’ve raised, and in the future…”
“Nonsense!” Rebecca interrupted Wanda with a furious tone before she could finish her sentence.
The sudden anger inade Wanda shiver.
The air around Rebecca suddenly became chilly and almost suffocating.
Don’t say such things ever again
“Yes, Madam!”
“Tina is my daughter, and Cedric is my son! Wanda, you’ve been with me for so many years, but it seems that you’ve become muddle–headed!” Rebecca said sternly.
“Yes, Madam. I’m sorry. I misspoke,” Wanda quickly apologized, sensing Rebecca’s displeasure. She
Christina got in with a cheerful smile and asked, “Ced! Why were you looking for me so urgently?”
“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” She asked as she touched her face, maintaining a cheerful demeanor.
Yet, on her way here, she already sensed that Cedric urgently summoning her meant there was important business at hand
Hearing this, Christina’s heart sank even further. Though she stiffened, she pretended as if nothing was
“I’m asking you, what do you mean by that?” Cedric’s tone became colder, his gaze more intense.
