Chapter 42 Settling Old Scores
From the numerous past scandals, it was evident that Isabella had feelings for Cedric
Therefore, it wasn’t surprising that she would behave so generously in front of Cedric. Though Rebecca
didn’t like Isabella, the way she was now did bring some relief to Rebecca.
However, Rebecca couldn’t help but wonder. “Why is this news circulating now?”
“Because Natalie has been refusing to apologize,” Christina said in a low voice.
This remark only infuriated Rebecca further. Talking about Natalie was a surefire way to make her wish she could tear Natalie to pieces.
“She did such a malicious thing! Even if she was asked to give her eyes to Isabella, she would deserve it! Yet she remains unrepentant and refuses to apologize?!”
Rebecca’s anger grew with every word.
Isabella had already spoken in such a forgiving manner, and Natalie still wouldn’t apologize.
What the hell did she want?
Christina sighed, “If she continues like this, Isabella might just hand over the evidence to the police.”
“That wretched woman!” Rebecca fumed.
The situation had already caused considerable embarrassment to the Johnson family. If Natalie were to end up in jail, their reputation would be dragged through the mud.
The more Rebecca thought about it, the angrier she became.
In the end, Rebecca called Natalie again. This time, Natalie answered.
Before Natalie could say anything, Rebecca said furiously, “Come back immediately.”
No matter what happened, Rebecca wanted Natalie to apologize to Isabella and put this matter to rest!
Natalie had always respected her elders. However, she curtly replied, “I’m busy.”
“What could you possibly be so busy with? Since you married into our family, we haven’t let you work a single day. How dare a young mistress of the family like you tell me that you’re busy-”
Before she could finish, the sound of the call ending interrupted Rebecca’s scolding.
At this moment, Rebecca no longer exuded the air of a refined lady. She looked more like a woman full of
“She’s gotten completely out of control!” Rebecca screamed, unable to hold back her anger anymore.
Christina watched as Rebecca fumed, and she couldn’t resist adding fuel to the fire. She said, “Ced is
also at fault! Since he isn’t getting a divorce, he should take control of the situation. If she goes and
apologizes to Isabella, this whole matter will be resolved!”
Apologize?
Christina was well aware that Natalie would never apologize to Isabella. She was using this method to
ruin Natalie and Cedric’s future relationship.
When Rebecca heard that, she decided to call Cedric,
On Cedric’s side, everyone felt like they had crawled out of hell after a long meeting. People gradually left the room, leaving Cedric alone. He picked up his phone and saw the push notifications for the top headlines.
The Johnson family had been a hot topic in Verde City for some time. Even if they managed to suppress most of the public opinion, any small incident could bring all the suppressed issues back to the forefront.
Even without news coverage, online comments and discussions could still ignite a storm of public opinion!
Now, headlines about how Natalie injured someone using underhanded means, how she had escaped legal consequences, and many others were being pushed as hot topics.
“Yuvan!” Cedric exploded in anger.
Yuvan had been waiting outside and rushed in upon hearing Cedric’s call.
“Yes, sir?”
Yuvan’s expression wasn’t much better. It was clear that he knew what had transpired.
Cedric asked, “Have you seen this?”
“Yes, sir!”
“Shut it down immediately!”
Such extreme articles hinted at the kind of person lurking behind them He also wanted to make those responsible understand the consequences of their ne
Exploiting others‘ private matters for profit came at a price!
“I’m already on it,” Yuvan said.
He had anticipated this situation and arranged for it to be dealt with as soon as he saw the news, even
before Cedric’s meeting had ended.
employ Natalie. Otherwise, they’ll be going against us.”
As for the man overseas and other matters, he would address them in due time.
For now, he wanted her to come back home.
He picked up the call and asked, “What is it?”
