Chapter 186 For Oneself
When the two returned to Scarlet Villa, everything had indeed been prepared. Natalie sat quietly at the dining table, eating her food. She had been silent ever since Cedric defended Christina again in the car.
At this moment, her face appeared calm, but it gave Cedric the feeling of it being the calm before the
storm.
“Nat.”
In the end, he couldn’t help but break the silence.
“What?”
“I know things at the Johnson Manor weren’t too good for you before, but it’s all in the past now, hmm?”
“Are you advising me to go back? Or are you letting it go because of my uncle?” Natalie sneered.
In the past?!
That was not how she understood it. Although Cedric showed her that he could stand proudly at the pinnacle even without her uncle’s support, Rebecca’s actions gave her a different feeling at this crucial
moment.
She felt uncomfortable inside!
“Your mother must be regretting it now, right? She did set aside her pride and approached me, you know?
Seems like she doesn’t have much confidence in you.”
Natalie’s words became more and more brazen
Cedric’s face turned cold.
Apparently, he wasn’t too pleased with Natalie talking about his mother this way, regardless of what kind
of person Rebecca was.
But even though Rebecca was a complicated character, she had suffered a lot, especially in matters. related to Cedric inheriting the position in the Johnson family.
Anyone who understood Rebecca’s situation would know why she insisted on finding Cedric a woman
from an equal background.
As a mother, she wanted to protect her child, Even if she couldn’t protect him, she would find someone

Although Cedric didn’t need such protection, it was a common trait of mothers.
“In these years you lived in the Johnson family, what do you think of Uncle Benjamin?”
Benjamin?
In Natalie’s view, he was always the one making a fuss the most whenever there was trouble in the Johnson family. Cedric never liked those uncles much. Putting aside how much influence they had in the family, they were also always restless regarding family affairs.
“He might have been involved in what happened to my father. Although things haven’t been revealed…
Nat, it hasn’t been easy for her in the Johnson family.”
Especially after Cedric’s father passed on.
What kind of heavy blow had Rebecca suffered? How much had she endured on the road to taking over
the Johnson family after Cedric’s father had assumed control?
Cedric had seen all of that.
Natalie didn’t respond. But at this moment, she understood even more clearly what kind of presence
Rebecca held in Cedric’s heart.
Putting down the spoon in her hand, she looked at Cedric with a serious expression and said, “I didn’t
intend to talk about your mother. Since it’s come to this, I’ll ask one more question.”
“What?”
“If Regal Horizons goes bankrupt, how do you think she will treat me?”
She was very rational. Natalle remained unmoved even though Rebecca had softened toward her.
Natalie understood. She was so rational and clear–headed that… it made her seem icy cold!
“Your uncle won’t allow it!”
“Cedric, I’m asking about your mother. Why bring up my uncle?”
Her tone was sharp and direct.
Regardless of what Rebecca had gone through before, and regardless of her being skilled in maneuvering within the Johnson family, Rebecca had handled Natalie’s case poorly.

Even before we divorced, she had already found Jocelyn to replace met

“Afterward, when my uncle’s matters came to light, she left the Lambert family and turned around to me.
Is that something a decent person would do?”
Natalie emphasized the last sentence heavily. The man across from her, whose expression was already
unpleasant, became even more dark and overcast at this moment.
“Natalie!”
It was at this moment that he truly understood what grievances Natalie had suffered in the Johnson family. It seemed like that was the hurdle in her heart that she couldn’t get over.
“Before, I thought the same as you. I thought that marriage was a matter between the two of us. I thought That living in Scarlet Villa would solve everything. But…”
“You should take a look at these things first…”
