Chapter 779 Shotgun Marriage It had been two entire lifetimes.
Amidst the turmoil of these two lifetimes, whatever beauty existed between them has ultimately been replaced entirely by agony.
What was tragic was that now she found herself needing to put an end to it all in such a manner! It had been too long.
After all, if Cedric were indeed to bring Kayla back, then their confrontation would be excruciatingly prolonged! It was truly tiresome.
For Natalie, severing everything between her and Cedric was worth resorting to such means.
The next day, the news of Natalie and Austin's wedding was announced, and it was quite a unique matter.
They declared it a shotgun marriage.
The news said that Austin and Natalie had a daughter long ago, and the child was now grown up.
Whose child was it really? Of course, it was Cedric and Natalie's.
What was the real story? Was it to make Austin give up potential benefits from the Jarvis family just to have Natalie and Luna? No one knew why Austin, who had been acting like a fool for so many years, suddenly changed his mind and
started showing deep affection for the daughter of the Jarvis family.
This news caused a sensation throughout Simeria, completely overshadowing the news between Icarus and Christina.
When Rebecca saw this news...
Bang! She threw her phone against the wall, instantly shattering it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer heart was in turmoil! "That wretched woman!" Rebecca was truly infuriated.
She never imagined that Natalie would really get together with Austin.
Upon reading the news, Christina tensed up. She had believed that
becoming the fifth lady of the Entes family would elevate her status above Natalie's.
However, little did she know that she would still have to refer to Natalie as her sister-in-law, even in a new family! Was Natalie even worthy of entering the Entes family?! While thinking about it, Christina's eyes were filled with a malicious look.
At this moment, Lionel arrived. He looked at Christina and said, "Ms.
Johnson, Lord Icarus has asked us to take you back." "Back? To where?" Rebecca was taken aback. Their plan was to teach Natalie a lesson by staying A 1D
in Simeria and retrieving Luna with Icarus' support.
Who would have thought that such a thing would happen...? Rebecca's heart pounded heavily against her ribcage.
"To where you should be, of course," Lionel said solemnly.
To where she should be? Was he talking about Verde City'a prison?! "No! Why?!" Christina finally reacted, realizing that Icarus intended to send her away.
What was this?! Was he...? i'1t seems that Ms. Jarvis doesn't care about you, so..." "So I'm useless now? Is that it?!"
Christina now understood this point clearer than ever before, but she still couldn't believe what she was seeing: Natalie... It was all because of Natalie again! "I'm not going back! I refuse! I want to stay here!" Christina exclaimed.
Leaving this place was not an option.
She had fought hard for her freedom, and the fresh air outside was too refreshing to leave behind.
How could she be willing to go back to prison? Just the thought of that place made Christina's heart tighten continuously.
It was the place she least wanted to face in her life.
She didn't want to go back.
She absolutely didn't want to go back! Lionel's eyes dimmed. "It's not up to you!" Christina screamed, "What are you doing?! What are you-" When Rebecca was faced with the scene in front of her, she was unsure how to react. The changes in Simeria happened so quickly that it was almost impossible to keep up.
But how could they leave now? No matter what, they couldn't leave, right? "Mom! Mom... I won't go back!" Christina shouted.
"Tina!" Rebecca started to panic. She didn't expect that things would turn out this way. The days with Christina around had been much better for her, and her mood had greatly improved.
At least she didn't feel like she had nothing. With Christina by her side, it was good.
So, how could she bear to be parted from her adoptive daughter again? Christina was especially unwilling. She had been waiting all these years for Cedric... and even Rebecca.
In the end, her wait had been in vain.
She also knew that once she went back to prison, it would be difficult for her to come out again.
"Mom... Mom!" Christina kept crying, but Rebecca was helpless now.
"Tina!" The scene was intense.
It's all because of Natalie.
Christina never imagined that Natalie would one day become the determining factor of her gains and losses.
Icarus intended to use her to coerce Natalie into marrying him, but who could have predicted that it would ultimately expedite Natalie's marriage to Austin? Although Christina was unaware of what had happened behind the scenes, she realized that she was now insignificant to Icarus after Natalie and Austin's engagement had been

Icarus wasn't a man who would support someone who was useless.
So it was easy to tell what would happen.
"Why? Why...?" Christina completely broke down.
She was once proud and mighty. How could she lose everything because of Natalie? This wasn't fair! Christina and Rebecca's reunion was like fireworks. It started beautifully but lasted only a short time before it was extinguished! Rebecca was in despair.
"Madam, let's go," Calvin said to Rebecca.
There was nothing they could do about Christina, and staying here would not benefit them in any way.
At this point, Rebecca understood it was impossible to snatch Luna from Natalie's hands.
Rebecca had stepped all over Natalie in the past, and now, Natalie was an existence she couldn't overturn.
"Why is the world so unfair? What did Tina do wrong? She was just a tool that was used!" Rebecca's tone was full of sadness when she said this.
After all, she had raised Christina herself. How could she bear to see Christina become nothing but a pawn?
However, when Calvin heard this, he thought of the situation between Natalie, Cedric, and Irwin.
"When you put it that way, you can understand why Ms. Jarvis can't forgive Master Cedric and Mr.
Frazier." "What do you mean?" Rebecca couldn't catch Calvin's meaning.
Calvin looked at Rebecca and replied, "Mr. Frazier had always been plotting against Master Cedric, and Ms. Jarvis was just his pawn!" Whether Natalie liked it or not, she had been a pawn for striking back at Cedric.
And that was precisely why Natalie couldn't forgive them!
