Chapter 309

Chapter 309 Never Been Right

Cedric looked at Natalie, and she also stared back at him.

They stared intensely at each other, and their hearts tightened rapidly…!

“Nat, I… That day, actually…”

“What? If I had told you,

would you have driven yourself?”

Cedric was rendered speechless.

In a situation where she remained silent and faced potential emergencies, Irwin could still help her

avoid all dangers.

And Cedric?

She had been right there in front of him.

He had considered himself the most important person in her life. But in the end…!

“I’m sorry.”

Natalie was silent.

Cedric was apologizing?!

What a miracle!

Cedric had never apologized to anyone, yet he was doing so right now! To her! 2

It was more than a miracle!

“I accept your apology.”

She said it casually, but Cedric knew this ease was because she didn’t mean it.

The two of them faced each other in silence. Cedric tightened his grip on her. He couldn’t

conceal the pain in his eyes, and Natalie frowned at him.

“Was that also wrong?”

“You”

Well, I’ve never been right anyway!”

Cedric was silent.

Never been right?

That was true!)

In the past, Cedric had never listened to her seriously, no matter what she said.

But now, what right did he have to blame her?

Now, they couldn’t talk about the past. If they did, they would surely be at odds.

Just then, Isabella called again!

Natalie smiled, “See, now there’s more than just Irwin between us!”

Isabella had always been between them.

Unable to bear it any longer, Cedric smashed the phone!

The fragments scattered, and one particularly large one scratched Natalie’s leg.

Blood oozed out from her wound, and Cedric’s chest tightened at the sight.

“Nat…”

Concern was evident in his tone.

He instinctively wanted to check her injury, but Natalie turned around and coldly said, “Do you want to

check my injuries again?”

What did this small injury matter now, compared to the ones she had suffered two years ago?

That was the implication behind her words.

She had survived injuries that had almost burned her to death!

When did it start? Since when did being near him mean she would be in danger of getting hurt?!

At the presidential suite in Morina Hotel, Isabella handed the phone to Lily after hearing the call go to

voicemail.

Lily dialed again and handed the phone to Isabella.

Isabella’s face was pale, and she felt numb.

When she heard the call go straight to voicemail, she breathed a sigh of relief inwardly and returned

the phone to Lily.

“It’s off.”

In an instant, the atmosphere around Lily turned cold.

She said, “The master said he doesn’t care how you do it. You must get Mr. Johnson to come to you

today.

“He’s with Natalie again, isn’t he?” Isabella said coldly.

Lily remained silent.

But Isabella smiled!

She probably guessed that every time she was asked to contact Cedric, it meant Cedric was with

Natalie.

Lily asked, “Do you have any other way to contact him?”

“No!” Isabella said without hesitation.

She had lost all patience. She had done so much for that person, and so far, she hadn’t seen that child.

How could she not be angry?

However, that child was her weakness that constantly tugged at her heart. It made her no longer able

to think independently

Immediately, Lily played a recording for Isabella to hear. The hysterical tone in that recording made

Isabella’s heart pound.

She slammed the phone hard and screamed, “He’s a bastard!”

“Do you have any other way?”

Isabella’s chest heaved continuously, and her face turned significantly paler.

Did she?!

“Lily.”

Before Isabella could speak, a maid called out to Lily from outside.

Lily’s face turned cold again. “What is it?”

“There’s a lady here to see Ms. Isabella. She says her name is Ms. Carter.”

Ms. Carter?

Rebecca Carter!

Rebecca had gone hysterical two years ago and wanted to destroy everything because of Cedric’s

imprisonment.

Now, she was here to see Isabella?!

Here’s your chance.”

In an instant, Lily’s icy demeanor disappeared as she said to Isabella, “She’s a key figure. I

+25 BONUS

She was referring to Isabella’s abilities not only to captivate men but also to handle their families.

Isabella already felt uneasy, and the heavy feeling in her chest only intensified after hearing Lily’s

words.

Lily left, and soon, Rebecca entered. When she looked at Isabella, her expression was cold and hard.

After a moment, Rebecca said, “I didn’t expect we’d have the chance to meet again.”

“Yes. I thought you’d never want to see me again in this lifetime.”

Two years ago, Christina went to prison. Cedric also went to prison. The once glorious Johnson family

in Verde City seemed to have fallen in that moment.

Rebecca was the most infuriated.

However, Isabella also thought this woman was truly pitiful. Rebecca had spent her entire life planning

her children’s path for them, but she never knew what was best for them.

She also never understood her children.

Two years ago, the Johnson family was shattered

If it weren’t for Ivan’s favor supporting her, Isabella believed this woman would have rushed to her and

torn her apart with her bare hands.

Rebecca would have done it, even if her hands weren’t exactly clean from all the deeds she had done

in the past.

Rebecca pulled out a chair and sat down before Isabella. The distance between the two decreased,

and Isabella could clearly feel the older woman’s unstable breathing.

“Are you here to have me take Christina’s place in prison?” Isabella asked bluntly.

Yes, Christina!

Although Christina wasn’t Rebecca’s biological daughter, Rebecca had always treated her as her own.

Even after the events of two years ago, Rebecca was still contemplating how to get Christina

out

Despite claiming it was for the Johnson family’s reputation, the girl she had raised held a special place

in her heart. Even though she scolded and punished her, Rebecca still held affection for the young girl.

Justead of responding to Isabella’s question, Rebecca said, “Isabella, leave Cedric!”

Isabella was silent, but she smiled somewhat sadly after a few moments.

Before she could speak, Rebecca continued, “I know you got close to him for revenge against Natalie. I

just didn’t expect you to develop feelings for him. If you truly love him, stop harming him.”

Cedric’s head belonged to Natalie.

As long as Isabella persisted in entangling herself with them, they would never have a good.

life.

Isabella sneered, “So, you’re capable of making compromises too!”

She had thought otherwise.

Isabella’s words caused Rebecca to stiffen.

Yes, Rebecca… was also capable of making compromises.

Even though Rebecca had hated and despised Natalie so much before, she was now willing to give in.

She only did it because… Cedric’s heart only had room for Natalie.

Cedric had given up everything for Natalie two years ago and willingly accepted all the punishments.

No one knew how painful it was for Rebecca to witness such a scene.

Now, Cedric had left prison because of Natalie. Naturally, Rebecca didn’t want any unexpected

complications in this relationship.

She would only find peace if their relationship was restored and they had a good life.
