Chapter 87 Shocking Hatred

Rebecca took a deep breath and sighed.

“Let her temporarily lend her eyes to Bella. Bella can’t wait any longer!”

Although Cedric had made a similar decision before, hearing these words from his own mother made

him

feel a tightness in his chest.

The thought of Natalie’s eyes being used for Isabella made him incredibly uneasy.

“I’ll figure out another way.” Cedric said without hesitation. He didn’t consider this option further, even

though he had thought this way before.

But the vivid image of Natalie, unable to see anything, surrounded by darkness and helpless, suddenly

flashed through his mind.

The sound of her hands striking objects as she felt her way around, the frustration, the fear–it all felt so

real, even though it hadn’t happened.

It sounded so familiar, yet it also made his heart tighten.

It even caused an involuntary shiver down his spine.

No!

Despite all the anger and frustration he had felt towards Natalie recently, the mere thought of her being

a helpless invalid brought overwhelming guilt.

He couldn’t do it.

She was a proud woman. How could she bear the thought of being disabled, needing assistance even

to

eat?

No, he couldn’t let her become like that; she would die…!

For some reason, that thought flashed through his mind.

Just the thought of Natalie dying caused him intense heartache, and his body was drenched in cold

your mind.”

“What…” Rebecca was taken aback. “What’s going on with you?”

“I’ll find another way.”

Isabella would see again, but it wouldn’t be at Natalie’s expense.

Rebecca’s expression darkened. “Until now, you’ve been protecting that woman. Are you blind? Look

at

what she’s done during this time!”

They were already in the midst of a divorce, and there was that foreign man!

The more Rebecca thought about it, the angrier she became.

What kind of spell did Natalie cast on her son to make him this infatuated?!

Cedric clarified, “We’re already divorced. I have no right to make demands of her anymore.

“You’ve divorce

Cedric remained silent.

was taken aback.

“What about the marital property?”

“We’ve already signed and notarized all the documents. It’s official.”

So, there was nothing that could be changed.

Cedric had always been meticulous. So why hadn’t he insisted on having Natalie sign the relevant

documents after making such a request?

Ultimately… it was because he couldn’t bring himself to go through with it.

Their relationship spanned many years, and despite the hurtful words spoken recently, Cedric couldn’t

stand to see Natalie lose her eyesight.

He… didn’t want to see her in a state of helplessness.

Every time Cedric faced Natalie, he struggled to align his words with his true feelings. She had the

power to make him lose control and upset his emotions.

You you

Rebecca’s face turned ashen with anger!

Although their marriage had ended, Rebecca couldn’t bear to see Natalie escape without facing the

consequences.

She was the cause of Isabella’s suffering!

The more Rebecca thought about it, the angrier she became.

“That’s enough. We won’t discuss this further,” Cedric said, standing up and leaving.

It was clear to him that there was no point in continuing this conversation.

Rebecca closed her eyes, trembling with anger.

The mere thought of Natalie taking away so much wealth in the divorce while contributing nothing to

the Johnson family over the years made Rebecca want to tear her apart!

Natalie, on the other hand, was overwhelmed with her work.

She had entrusted the process of transferring assets to Clark, who assured her that he would handle

everything before returning to Simeria.

She was eager to finish her work because it felt as though the assignments were piling up in front of

her, and she couldn’t afford to ignore them.

Her phone buzzed, and she noticed an unfamiliar number. However, she immediately recognized it as

the same number Isabella had used to contact her previously.

Natalie answered the call. Without waiting for the person on the other end to speak, she said, “I’ve

already divorced Cedric. What else do you want?”

In actuality, Natalie knew this wasn’t over!

As expected, the voice on the phone sneered with disdain, “Do you think divorcing him means you’re

safe? What I wanted was never him!”

So, what do you want? Natalie asked.

Your eyes, your lego, your hands, everything

Natalie instinctively asked, “Have we met before?”

Even if Isabella hated her, Natalie should at least know the reason, right?

“Have we met? I’ve wanted to obliterate you since the day I knew you!”

Every word was dripping with hatred. Natalie felt a chill run down her spine.

Natalie had never encountered such intense hatred in another woman before. Had this woman

approached Cedric in the past for the same reason, driven by hatred?

However, Natalle was certain she didn’t know Isabella.

“Heh, is that so? Let’s see who ends up with nothing left but ashes,” Natalie retorted with a cold laugh.

She had lost to this woman in her previous life, but she wouldn’t allow herself to lose this time.

“Very well. Next up is your beloved man taking your eyes. Savor the taste of that!” Isabella declared

before hanging up.

Her tone had been filled with smugness.

Natalie was left in stunned silence, trying to comprehend the situation.

She only returned to her senses when Stephen called her.

She answered the phone and struggled to hide her unease. “Hello, Uncle.”

Stephen had been in various situations, and he could detect the disquiet in Natalie’s voice even over

the phone.

He asked, “What’s wrong?”

Natalie tried to brush it off, saying, “It’s nothing.”

Even though she said that…

She had been shaken by the overwhelming sense of hatred she had sensed from Isabella’s voice

moments ago. She was growing increasingly curious about why Isabella harbored such deep

resentment toward her!

Since she said that, Stephen changed the topic and asked, “Did Cedric never tell you about the

relationship between Isabella and him?”

“What do you mean?”

“Isabella had a brother named Ivan Morgan. Do you know him?”

“No, I don’t,” Natalie replied without hesitation.

As far as she knew, Cedric had never mentioned anyone named Ivan.

Stephen continued, “Did you know that Cedric was kidnapped as a child?”

“Kidnapped?!”

Cedric had been kidnapped before?!

Natalie tried to recall, but she couldn’t remember Cedric mentioning such a significant event. If he had,

she would have remembered it.

“You didn’t know?” Stephen asked, surprised.

“I didn’t!” Natalie replied, her tone growing tense.

There was a hint of uncertainty on her exquisitely beautiful face. Throughout their years of marriage,

she had believed she understood Cedric well.

But now…!
