Chapter 231 Whose Heart Was Tormented Overnight? 

It wasn’t easy to break Cedric’s love for Natalie. 

It was hard enough to pry him away from her, and Christina had done everything in her power to do so! 

And then, Isabella appeared! 

She was even more formidable, and Christina didn’t see any hope for herself at that time. 

Thinking about all these things, Christina’s heart clenched painfully! 

For so many years… She hadn’t had any support! 

Elizabeth acted like no one was worthy of her grandson. Rebecca was even worse. She made it seem ast 

if no one in the world was suitable for Cedric 

And yet, Rebecca now seemed obsessed over getting Natalie back together with Cedric just because she 

was the successor of Regal Horizons International! 

Even with the earth–shattering news going around, Rebecca could easily attribute it to internal conflicts 

within the group. 

It did nothing to waver Rebecca’s obsession and change of attitude towards Natalie 

Now that Wanda had expressed her support, Christina felt like she had seen light in the darkness for the 

first time. 

“Love is something that just happens! So what if you like Master Cedric? It’s not wrong, right?” 

“Yeah!” 

Yes. There was nothing wrong with liking someone. 

Loving itself was not wrong. 

“Eat some noodles, okay?” Wanda bald in concern after she noticed Christina’s mood improving 

This time, Christina didn’t refuse and ate all the noodles. She was really hungry. The Internal conflicts in the Johnson family were so severe that having a good meal was a luxury. 

*Madam Rebecca really cares for you. Even with so much happening, she’s still preparing a birthday party 

for you!” Wanda said with a smile. 

But when Wanda mentioned the birthday party, Christina’s expression changed.

Her birthday was only a week away! 

She had boasted in front of those people that she would wear a set of Sylvan Gems jewelry this year! 

But now, considering Sylvan Gems’ reputation, she wouldn’t be embarrassed. 

With that thought in mind, Christina immediately felt better. 

Natalie was questioned the entire night. 

She said the blueprints were swapped, and even sent someone to Auro Studio to find the original 

blueprints! 

The blueprints were found, but no one could prove whether these two sets of blueprints were really 

swapped. 

Karina, of course, couldn’t provide that evidence! 

“In that case, you have to investigate on your end,” Natalie said. 

All night, she answered too many questions. 

She was tired of answering 

The other party has also lost patience, Ms. Walker, I don’t think you understand the situation yet. The building constructed based on your blueprints collapsed, and lives were lost!! 

“We hope you can approach this matter with a serious attitude!” 

“I’m serious about this!” Natalie exclaimed. 

Natalie’s expression was extremely serious as she looked at the person before her. 

“What I said is all facts!” 

Yes, everything she said was a fact! 

She had been serious the entire time. 

But she had no evidence! 

“Can I see my lawyer now?” Natalie asked. 

+15 BONUS 

At this moment, her complexion was somewhat pale. There was no hint of color on her l*ps, Indicating that her current situation is really bad. 

The other party said, “We’ll wait a bit longer before looking for a lawyer. What do you think, Ms. Walker?” 

“Then, can I see my assistant?” 

A sharp pain emanated from her lower abdoment 

It constantly reminded her that there was little life inside her and that pregnant women cannot endure such long nights. 

Now, she was really in pain. 

“You can’t see them for now,” the other party said 

Natalie closed her eyes and tried to relax. 

In her previous life, she had done a lot of research on pregnancy. Pregnant women couldn’t be 

emotionally tensed. Otherwise, it was easy for problems to occur. 

And now, she couldn’t afford any problems. 

“What about the people who came with me?” 

“They’re waiting for you outside!” 

Leon could accompany her here but couldn’t enter with her. 

Natalie tried very hard to relax her emotions. 

But unfortunately, the pain in her lower abdomen was getting worse.. 

Cold sweat broke out on her forehead. 

The other party finally noticed that something was wrong with her. “Ms. Walker, are you okay?” 

“I… need to go to the hospital” 

She was in pain. When she spoke,/her voice trembled. 

Helplessly covering her lower abdomen, she almost curled up in the chair. 

At this moment, everything was in pain! 

Then, there was a damp feeling underneath her.

Having experienced so much, she naturally knew what that meant. 

“Ugh…” She groaned, and her face was as white as paper. 

The scene instantly descended into chaos, and she… completely lost consciousness.

Compared to the chaos on Natalie’s side, it was a quiet morning at Scarlet Villa. 

Cedric and Isabella were sitting at the dining table amidst the chirping of birds and the warmth of sunlight. 

After a night of rain, the weather outside was excellent, and the air was fresh. 

“After breakfast, someone will take you out for a stroll,” Cedric said gently to Isabella. 

“No need, it’s too much trouble!” 

Her words caused a cold glint to flash in Cedric’s eyes. Those present felt a slight tension when they 

looked at the man.

servac 

“Ms. Morgan, it’s no all,” a said urgently. 

Hearing the urgency in the servant’s tone, Isabella smiled slightly and said, “Alright!” 

Her words made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief. 

God knows! She was not easy to serve because their master cared too much. Their work was even more. 

challenging than serving Natalie before this. 

Cedric glanced at the woman bathed in sunlight across from him and said, “Someone will come in the 

morning to have you try on a gown. 

At his words, Isabella paused in her actions. She looked at the man across from her, and her tone, while 

still gentle, became more serious. 

“Have you really thought it through? 

“It doesn’t matter if I’ve thought it through or not. I said I’d take care of you for a lifetime!” 

For a lifetime! 

He would take care of her for a lifetimel 

However, the care he offered her was different than what she understood. Isabella was well aware that 

though Cedric had given her such a solemn promise, it was because… of Ivan! 

4/5 

Without Ivan, she was nothing in front of him! 

The atmosphere became somewhat heavy. 

Cedric didn’t understand. 

Even though it was his responsibility, he felt a sudden tightness in his heart when he said it. 

Suppressing his emotions, he stood up and said. “I’m going to the company first, okay?” 

“So soon? You haven’t eaten anything!” 

“I’m fine!” 

After speaking, the man left without waiting for Isabella to say anything. 

The hurried footsteps made it seem like he was fleeing from here. 

Although Isabella’s face remained gentle, her heart sank at this moment. 

Cedric, oh Cedric! 

In his heart, actually…! 

Because she wasn’t Natalie, he had gone to work as if he was running away! 

In the car, Cedric impatiently adjusted his tie. 

Lucas was the one driving this morning. 

Cedric asked, “She stayed inside all night?” 

Lucas hesitated for a moment. 

“Yes.” 

Cedric was silent. 

There was a heavy feeling in his heart, and it felt like he was suffocating. 

Then, he heard that volce again–the voice that was hysterical deep within his heart.
