Chapter 255 Admitting the Truth
Natalie fell into silence.
Clearly, while the outcome was shocking, it was also the best result,
So what if Stephen had intervened in this matter?
It wasn’t a misunderstanding about Christina; she indeed committed those acts. Since it was her doing, it was only fitting for her to bear the consequences.
However, for Cedric to also face such a situation…!
“Did you also intervene in Cedric’s case?” Natalie asked in a tone that revealed no emotion.
Stephen shook his head. “No.”
in
Natalie looked up at Stephen, once again shocked
Her uncle didn’t intervene? Yet, Cedric easily ended up in this situation?!
That… didn’t quite add up!
Seeing Natalie’s confusion, Stephen explained, “After returning from Simeria, he instructed everyone not
to hinder Dylan and Zane’s investigation.
“He also came to six
This information shocked Natalie even more. Clearly, this was the last thing she expected to hear.
Why did he come?
Since returning to Simeria, she had either been in a state of deep sleep or enduring the painful recovery
process. She was completely oblivious to the outside world.
Now, hearing Stephen’s account, she realized that during this time, she had been staying in a small room
in the estate.
Yet, the vast world outside continued with all kinds of earth–shattering incidents.
Stephen briefed Natalie on the situation in Verde City during this period. The more she heard, the more
shocked she became.
Undoubtedly, she didn’t expect the fire to cause so much chaos in Verde City or Cedric’s attitude.
Throughout, Stephen had always been against any entanglements between her and Cedric, Yet, to

The disastrous fire and its aftermath, Cedric’s attitude, the subsequent events in the Johnson family, Cedric’s purpose in coming to Simeria, and what happened after he returned to Verde City–Stephen laid
out everything for Natalie.
As the conversation concluded, Stephen looked into her eyes, filled with depth and complexity, as if there was something she still didn’t know.
“Why did you tell me all of this?” Natalie asked directly,
Yes, why reveal this information?
If he didn’t want her and Cedric to get entangled again, why share all this with her?
“You’re one of the parties involved and have the right to know.”
Natalie was silent
Yes, she had the right to know.
But Cedric’s reaction was truly laughable.
He…!
He was saddened for her?!
Hah!
Not only did Natalie not believe such words, but even if she did, what difference would it make?
She wasn’t moved at all. On the contrary, Cedric’s reactions only made the situation more laughable to
her!
He knew the truth!
And now, his attitude had changed so dramatically.
Wasn’t that laughable?
Was there no explanation?
When she was by his side before, she explained countless times.
But did he believe her?
Now, who was this change in attitude for?

In any case, it wasn’t her problem to bear.
“So, did you feel moved by his actions?” Stephen asked, looking at Natalie,
For some reason, at this moment, Natalie seemed to detect a hint of guilt in Stephen’s tone..
No, Stephen wouldn’t harbor such emotions.
She must have misheard.
looked at Stephen. She took a deep breath and said, “No!”
This response made Stephen smile. It was a smile tinged with bitterness.
“Uncle, are you still hiding something from me?”
“Why do you ask that?”
“You and Aunt don’t seem to blame me for what happened to Winona,”
Natalie could finally voice the question that had been eating at her after regaining consciousness.
In theory, given that Winona’s fiance had met with an accident, her uncle and aunt should resent her.
After all, Natalie had caused their only daughter to suffer.
However, her aunt’s words last time and her uncle’s attitude made everything confusing.
Stephen glanced at her. He didn’t directly answer her question. He stood up, sighed, and didn’t continue
the conversation.
He left, leaving Natalie puzzled.
A great fire had burnt away her past, but facing the current situation wasn’t so simple for her,
Her uncle, aunt, and Cedric all seemed to be hiding something
Everything before had led her to underestimate Cedric.
The current circumstances made it even more challenging for her to see clearly.
Not long after Stephen left, his butler called, saying that Blanca had disappeared.
At that moment, Natalie’s world once again shattered.
She stiffened, and her face turned pale.

In Verde City, Cedric admitted to all the evidence after being arrested. Even all the connections Rebeccal
found to keep him out of prison were in vain.
His confession was swift, and the trial proceeded quickly, leading to immediate results.
In prison, Rebecca watched through the soundproof glass as Cedric, dressed in prison attire, exuded an
air of bitterness and pain.
“Why abandon your mother? Is it worth tormenting yourself for a woman? Rebecca questioned, her voice
echoing in the confined space.
Watching Cedric in such a desolate state, Rebecca’s eyes were filled with pain.
Regardless of any change in her previous attitude toward Natalie, her hatred had now extended to Natalie.
Even knowing that Natalie was already dead, the fact that she still entangled herself in Cedric’s life was
what Rebecca found most unacceptable
“She wasn’t an ordinary woman; she was my wife,” Cedric coldly corrected Rebecca.
