Chapter 244 Driving Isabella Away
The dark clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind. The clear sky after the light rain carried a dampness along with the sunshine.
However, this ray of light could no longer reach Cedric’s heart.
At this moment in Scarlet Villa, Cedric sat hollow–eyed in the hall. Opposite him sat Isabella, equally heavy -hearted.
With everything that had happened, their wedding was naturally no longer possible. No one had expected Natalie to leave the world in such a tragic way.
Although Isabella wished for Natalie’s death, she had never actually wanted her to die.
She just wanted Natalie to pay the price for taking everything from her since childhood
The price she wanted Natalie to pay was spending the rest of her life in prison. She wanted Natalie to watch as she slowly reclaimed what was hers and continued to possess Natalie’s man. She wanted Natalie to endure the torment and suffering.
However, seeing her dead just like that…
Isabella felt no joy.
People couldn’t afford to give away their hearts. Whoever handed over their heart truly lost
Isabella had lost now, and because of that loss, she felt heartache.
She didn’t want to leave.
But she couldn’t bring herself to say those words.
“Will I still be able to see you in the future?” She asked calmly, as if devoid of any emotions.
Natalie was dead.
Isabella was a clever woman, and she understood better than anyone what Natalie’s death meant to
Cedric the moment he learned the truth.
Her informant had already told her of Christina’s late.
Even in the Johnson family, no one, not even Rebecca and Elizabeth together, could protect Christina.
It showed that if Cedric decided to act against Isabella, even that person wouldn’t be able to protect her.
Isabella was thankful that she had severed all ties with Christina before this happened. Otherwise, the
outcome for her and Christina would have been equally bleak.
Cedric stood at the doorway. His silhouette exuded an endless chill and desolation when Isabella asked
her question.
“I’ve arranged everything for you,” Cedric said.
He didn’t directly answer her question, but the way he acted… Isabella could see it.

Her clenched fists turned white, revealing the emotions within her.
As Cedric took another step forward, Isabella spoke again
“Ced, I’ll give you time. But… please don’t be too cruel to me, okay?”
“Bella…”
“My sister is gone. I regret to say that I no longer have any family in this world,”
So, they were both lonely.
Cedric didn’t respond to Isabella’s words.
He simply walked away.

Soon enough, Lily had packed everything for Isabella.
“Miss, let’s go.”
Lily felt some sympathy for Isabella. In the prime of her life, she had lost her sight, and now her wedding
with Cedric was also ruined.
What would she do in the future?
Isabella smiled bitterly, and this smile made everyone present feel a twinge of sympathy.
Apart from Cedric’s responsibility towards her, she was now a person without any prospects.
The woman’s life was already difficult, and with the unexpected turn of events, it became even more
pitiful.
“I just adapted to the structure of this place, and now I have to leave,” Isabella said sadly.
Being blind, adapting to the structure of a place was not easy. Going to a new environment and adjusting
to everything there–compared to an average person, she needed much more time.
How many more changes would there be in her life?
Just as Isabella left, the butler received a call from Cedric, Instructing him to restore everything in Scarlet
Villa to the way it was when Natalle was there.
Everything related to Isabella was to be cleared away without a trace.
“Hurry, get everything moving!‘ the butler directed the servants.

Since Isabella came in, the things that originally belonged to Natalie have been cleared away to the
basement by Cedric for reasons unknown,
They were fortunate that when Cedric ordered them to throw everything into the basement, they didn’t
take the initiative to throw everything away.
Who could have expected such a drastic change in the Johnson family and Scarlet Villa?
The truth was out, and Natalie… was gone!

While Isabella was in the car, she received a call from abroad.
on was saying.
They conversed in low tones, so Lily and others couldn’t hear exactly what the other person
They only felt that Isabella’s aura was colder than before.
Then they heard Isabella respectfully say, “I understand”
She sounded like she was restraining herself. There was a hint of resistance in her posture, yet she didn’t
dare to confront the person on the other end.
After leaving Scarlet Villa, Cedric went straight to the company. A lot had happened recently, but he knew
that Jonathan wouldn’t force a direct confrontation with him.
But Irwin was different.
Stella meant a lot to him.
Although Jonathan had sent Irwin out of the country, Irwin would return soon.
“Mr. Johnson,” Lucas greeted in concern as Cedric walked in.
The affairs of Sylvan Gems and the eastern suburbs were currently under investigation.
Everything had been pinned on Natalie before. Now that she was gone, it was still a cause for concern, especially with Cedric knowing everything
“What is it?” Cedric asked.
“Mr. Frazier’s people are still investigating the eastern suburbs matter,” Lucas said with some concern.
Although Irwin had been sent away, it wouldn’t be easy to sweep the matter regarding the eastern suburbs
under the rug so easily.

Moreover, when Cedric initially intervened in the eastern suburbs, it wasn’t directed at Irwin but because.
of the connection between the eastern suburbs and Natalie.
Instead of directly responding to Lucas’s words, Cedric said, “Inform the HR department to dismiss Yuvan.
