But Rebecca never expected this.
She never expected such news to be waiting for her at the end.
How could this have happened?
How did things escalate to this point?
Natalie had repeatedly pressured Cedric!
She... hated him!
Did she hate him for not protecting her all those years?
"If she wants revenge, why not take it out on me? It was me! I was the one who wanted to tear them apart! I was the one who looked down on her!"
Rebecca's emotions were completely out of control.
Yes, it was her!
It was Rebecca who brought them to this point of enmity. She never imagined that the moment two people in love turned against each other would be so hysterical.
It was... terrifying!
Heather listened indifferently to it all. "It's over. Everything has ended."
Yes!
It was over!
At least, that was how it was in Natalie's view. Natalie had accepted this ending calmly, right?
At that moment, Rebecca choked out, "No, it's not. She hasn't gotten her revenge on me yet."
Rebecca didn't need anything else. She didn't want anything else. As long as Cedric was safe, she could bear any consequences!
Heather's eyes dimmed.
Revenge? On Rebecca?
"It seems like you're really not on the same level as us!"
Revenge? Such a word was too harsh!
What Natalie did to Cedric was never revenge.
Those who didn't understand this didn't know anything at all!
"He didn't do anything wrong!" Rebecca continued as if she hadn't heard Heather's words.
Yes.
Regarding Natalie, Cedric didn't do anything wrong. The only mistake he made was insisting on being with Natalie back then. No matter how others tried to stop him or what happened between them, he insisted on being with Natalie.
That was what hurt Rebecca the most!
Back then, she looked down on Natalie. Rebecca couldn't bring herself to like Natalie at all. She thought Natalie was too delicate.
With how petite she was, it was clear she couldn't bear children. Rebecca couldn't allow her son to be with such a woman.
Her son was so outstanding. There were so many good women in the world. Why did he have to set his sights on Natalie?
"Hah!"
Heather snorted when she heard Rebecca say that Cedric hadn't done anything wrong.
"Then, in your view, what would you consider to be wrong?"
At that moment, Heather finally understood why Cedric was so indifferent to right from wrong!
With a mother like Rebecca, what kind of morals did he have? Rebecca had raised Cedric, and a mother's influence on her children was immense.
What was considered to be wrong?
When Heather asked Rebecca this question, the latter also silently asked herself...
What was wrong?!
"Me. I was the wrong one."
"Hah...!"
What a great mother Cedric had! At critical moments, she took all the blame upon herself.
Heather looked at Rebecca and mockingly said, "This is all really your fault."
Didn't Rebecca also have a hand in pushing Natalie and Cedric to this point?
Heather recalled that Rebecca had taken Isabella in as her goddaughter and even been very kind to her.
Rebecca knew full well what Isabella's existence meant in Cedric and Natalie's relationship, and she still insisted on bringing Isabella into her circle.
Although Rebecca had taken different measures later on, those were far from enough.
