Chapter 217 Dare Not Admit
At Christina’s nod, Rebecca’s expression turned cold. Her face lost the softness and warmth she had a
moment ago.
She abruptly shoved away Christina’s hand.
“Mom?1”
Christina looked at Rebecca in disbelief, bewildered by the sudden change in her mother, who had just
been fine moments ago.
Rebecca’s eyes were sharp.
“Who do you think you are, huh?” she snapped.
“Mom? What are you saying?”
Christina’s heart clenched, unable to believe that her mother, who had always held her in high regard,
would suddenly turn so cold.
Rebecca had never treated Christina this way before. Even though she had treated Natalie like this
countless times, but every time she faced her..
There had been nothing but loving eyes!
But now…!
What did it mean?
“Mom!‘
Slap!
As Christina finished speaking, Rebecca directly slapped her across
This unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard. This
the face.
Wanda had been hiding nearby, and she rushed out upon hearing the commotion,
“Madam, what are you doing?!”
Wanda was frightened when she saw Rebecca slap Christina.
“Ms. Christina didn’t sleep all night; she’s had quite a scare. You’ll frighten her like this!”

“This damned thing! This wretched thing Rebecca cursed, glaring at Christina.
She wanted to punish her severely. She wanted to make her suffer!
Her mind was in chaos, and all her thoughts were jumbled. The idea that Christina might have such
thoughts was something she couldn’t accept.
It was even possible that everything before this was orchestrated by Christina.
When Rebecca thought about that, she…!
“Madam, look carefully. That’s Ms. Christina, not the young mistress!”
Wanda believed Rebecca must have gone mad.
Why else would she suddenly treat Christina this way?
Before this, she wouldn’t have acted like this.
She would only behave this way toward Natalie.
Rebecca shoved Wanda away, pointing at Christina as she shouted, “That’s your brother! Don’t you
understand?!”
Christina remained silent.
“I raised you not to disgrace the Johnson family. Get out!”
Rebecca was furious. How could she tolerate this under her nose?
Christina was genuinely scared now. She finally realizes the extent of Rebecca’s anger.
With tearful eyes, she exclaimed, “Is it wrong for me to love my brother?”
“You… How dare you say that?!”
“Madam!”
“I consider him as a brother. I want him to have a good life. Is that wrong? Mom, why are you treating me
like this?”
The scene was chaotic, and confusion reigned.
While chaos reigned in the Johnson Manor, the same happened in Sylvan Gems.

Natalie was also caught up in the turmoil, looking harassed.
Although everyone’s lives were difficult at the moment, Christina’s situation was more perilous.
After all, her biggest support over the years had been Rebecca, followed by Cedric
Today, Natalie had planted seeds of suspicion in Rebecca’s heart. Even if Christina managed to worm her
way out of it like a cunning fox, the seeds of doubt in Rebecca’s heart would make her days more difficult.
After all, people could sense insincerity when genuine feelings were lacking.
A sudden bang interrupted the atmosphere as Zane entered.
The sound of the door opening startled Natalie. She looked toward the entrance and saw Zane with a
serious expression.
“Ms. Walker!”
What’s it
situation?”
“The results are out.”
Results? Did he mean the results of the jewelry materials?
“What is it?” Natalie’s tone tightened.
Zane approached and handed her a folder. His eyes carried an unprecedented coldness and chill.
Natalie’s heart skipped a beat. Judging by Zane’s expression, she could tell that this matter was closely
related to her.
Her heart tensed as she opened the folder and took a look. With just one glance, her eyes widened.
The heading read ‘Confirmation of Material Replacement,‘ and at the end… was her signature?!
“What does this mean?”
“It’s the confirmation of the problematic jewelry exposed this time. The production date is a week after
you signed it.”
Natalie’s face turned pale. As she scrutinized the document in her hand, she confirmed that it indeed
bore her signature.
This meant she had signed this document.

Looking at Zane, she said, “I never signed such a document.”

Her tone carried a hint of numbness, and she was speaking the truth. She truly hadn’t signed such a document.
But then… this document…!
“Is this your handwriting?” Zane asked with a serious expression.
Was it her handwriting?
The answer was
yes!
The problem, however, lay in the fact that she hadn’t signed such a document!
Looking at the replacement of materials inside, it was like night and day. It could be said that the replaced materials were wholesale on the market. They were of the lowest quality, if not downright inferior!
Forget about agreeing to the replacement; she wouldn’t even listen to anyone suggesting using these. inferior materials!
“Those in the factory were also puzzled as to why you would sign such a document, but the jewelry did indeed come from our factory,” Zane explained.
“What does this mean now?” Natalie asked.
“Sylvan Gems is facing quite substantial trouble now!” Zane said with a grave tone.
The jewelry sets Sylvan Gems released every year were limited editions!
Not only were the quantities limited, but each set was priced at millions or tens of millions.
