Chapter 156 Art Exhibition
When their food arrived, Bianca took a sip of her red wine and then said to Natalie, “I’m reminding you
now, you better keep a clear head.”
She was referring to the matter with Rebecca.
Both Natalie and Bianca had expected Rebecca to approach Natalie after the revelation of Natalie’s
relationship with Stephen.
However, they didn’t expect her to come so quickly.
“If she had even a slight liking for you before, she wouldn’t be coming to you now, right?”
Bianca’s words implied that Rebecca’s sudden interest was not about Natalie but something else.
Natalie responded, “It’s because of Isabella.”
“Isabella?”
“Isabella has gone completely blind, right? Somehow, the story about Isabella and Ivan has spread in
high
society. The Johnson family was concerned about the impact, so they had to bring Isabella back.”
“So you mean Rebecca is worried that Cedric will get together with Isabella?”
“Yes.”
Bianca scoffed. “This old hag! I should’ve known.”
“And I’m guessing there have been some problems with the Lambert family!”
Otherwise, why would Rebecca be so anxious?
Bianca exclaimed, “My goodness, it’s chaotic enough!”
Indeed, if Rebecca’s concern was only about Cedric and Isabella, she could have directly sealed the
deal
with the Lambert family
Instead, she approached Natalie. This indicated that while she was on guard against Isabella, she
couldn’t find a suitable solution for the other issue.
And Nataliew A
With Stephen as her support, she was the best option for Rebecca.

“It’s useless,” Natalie said while cutting her steak.
If Rebecca had to pick between Christina and Isabella, she would surely pick the latter. She would

allow Christina to marry
Natalie was confident in this.
“It’s like she’s obsessed with Cedric! There’s something seriously wrong with her. Don’t be foolish and
get
involved with them again, okay? Stay away from her!” Bianca said in obvious concern.
Over the years, Christina had done many things against Natalie behind her back. Natalie was well
aware
of it
“Don’t worry. I’m not that stupid. Why would I choose to suffer in the Johnson family when I’m living
such
a carefree life now? I wouldn’t do that unless I’ve gone crazy!!” Natalie replied.
“That’s reassuring to hear,” Bianca said, finally feeling relief.
Natalie thought for a moment and then looked at Bianca. “But I’m quite satisfied with Rebecca’s attitude
today.”
“Feeling relieved?” Bianca asked.
“Yeah,” Natalie replied. It was indeed a relief. Making Rebecca bow down wasn’t an easy feat. Even
though Natalie had severed ties with the Johnson family, seeing Rebecca concede brought her a sense
of
satisfaction.
As Rebecca had warned before, it was best not to be delusional!
Bianca couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, how is Isabella doing in the Johnson family now?”
Looking at Natalie’s cheerful demeanor, she couldn’t resist asking.
“Not good,” Natalie replied.
It didn’t take much imagination to figure out that things weren’t going well. With Christina’s presence
and
her suspicion about Isabella’s feelings for Cedric, the care Isabella received would surely be
memorable.
“That’s a kind of indirect retribution. You don’t need to worry about It,” Blanca commented.

“That’s true, you’re a big shot now!” Bianca teased her.
Natalie rolled her eyes at Bianca!
In Bianca’s eyes, Natalie is lucky. Without Stephen, her separation from Cedric would have been the
beginning of hardship.
Isabella’s hatred towards Natalie aimed to drag her into the mud
If Natalie didn’t have Stephen’s support, it was evident that there would have been many

Back at the Johnson Manor, Christina’s expression changed when she returned and heard that
Rebecca
had gone to see Isabella. She handed her bag and coat to Wanda before heading to the guest room.
Isabella had a lot plans on her mind, and Christina needed to be cautious.
Outside the guest room, Christina heard Rebecca’s stern voice from inside, “You’re her sister?! What
are
you up to?”
Isabella remained silent.
“Tell me the truth! Did you come to Verde City just to get revenge on her?!” Rebecca’s anger escalated
as
she spoke.
This was unbelievable!
Inside the guest room, Isabella’s face turned pale.
“I want to see Ced. Ced… Isabella began.
“Shut up!”
When Isabella mentioned Cedric, a fierce glint flashed in Rebecca’s eyes. She stood up and glared at
Isabella.

her feeling helpless, like she was worthless and incapable of doing anything
When Rebecca emerged, she saw Christina outside.
“When did you come back?”
“Just now.”
“Come with me.” Rebecca decided after some thought.
Christina obediently nodded.
In front of Rebecca, Christina always behaved obediently. Back in the main building, the two of them
went to the study. Wanda saw them entering and greeted them with a cheerful smile, especially when
she
noticed Christina.
Sensing Rebecca’s bad mood, Christina chose to ignore her.
As soon as the door to the study closed, Rebecca said, “Immediately find a house in the state of
Sapphire. Also, arrange for servants and everything else!”
“What do you mean, Mom?” Christina asked.
“Send Isabella to live in Sapphire!”
Rebecca thought for a moment. In her current state, Isabella was definitely not suitable to remain at the
Johnson Manor.
The negative impact was too significant.
Nnever in her wildest dreams would she have imagined Isabella to be Natalie’s sister.
The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she becamel
Being as clever as she was, Rebecca had experienced many ups and downs in the Johnson family
over
the years.
According to Christina, Isabella was very cunning. She must have had plans before making her way to
Verde City.
At this moment, any gratitude Rebecca felt toward Ivan evaporated. Instead, all she could think of was
the potential trouble Isabella might bring to the Johnson family.
“Mom, what happened? Christina, appearing as if she knew nothing, approached.
From Christina’s perspective, keeping Isabella under her watchful eyes was the safest option,
