A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 237 This Is The True Source

The string of numbers was familiar to him.

How could it not be?

Almost all the information he had seen about Natalie during this time had this card number.

However, he felt as if he were seeing it wrong. He stared at it harder, as though the numbers would

change if he looked long enough.

It was as if everything clicked into place suddenly, and his mind was blank.

The air in the room turned suffocating.

Finally, he couldn’t deny it anymore–it was the same number he had been seeing all this time on this

card.

The funds for Isabella’s kidnapping and the people who had been involved in the online harassment…

It had all originated from this card,

When the butler entered the room, he saw Cedric trembling and squeezing the card in his hand. Beads

of

cold sweat continuously appeared on his forehead.

“Master Cedric,” the butler approached, calling out with some concern.

But at this moment, Cedric seemed to have lost all awareness. It was as if his whole world had become

a

blank slate..

This card…!

This card was…

It was actually…!!

“Master Cedric

Before the butler could react, Cedric strode out of the room quickly.

“Ugh! M–Master Cedric? Where are you going?!”

At that moment, downstairs, Christina was shivering in Rerbecca’s arms.

The longer Cedric took to arrive, the more angry Rebecca got.

She looked at Lucas in frustration and exclaimed, “Get her away from me! Take her away!”

Rebecca was almost mad with anger.

On such an important occasion today and with so many people present, Cedric brought this woman

here just to embarrass their family!

Elizabeth was experienced in many matters, and she quickly had the people around escort the guests

out of the scene in the face of Rebecca’s anger.

In just a few minutes, most of the people had left.

Seeing Cedric still not appearing and Rebecca being emotionally distressed due to Christina’s injury,

Lucas reluctantly approached Isabella.

“Ms. Morgan, shall I escort you back first?

Originally, coming here tonight was to use Christina’s birthday banquet to acknowledge Isabella’s

identity in the Johnson family

But who would have thought it would turn out like this?

Isabella stood still, her whole body cold. She had always been the one scheming against others, but

she

never expected Christina to plot against her in front of so many people.

Isabella had to admit that Christina was truly ruthless. She wasn’t even worried that someone would

figure it out!

No wonder she managed to create a rift between Natalie and Cedric using her skills.

But Isabella wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

Looking toward Christina, she smiled coldly and maliciously, “I know you like your brother. Do you think

that by scheming against me, you can re marry him?”

A simple and direct sentence instantly stirred up waves of shock in the few people present.

Rebecca was holding Christina, and she stiffened. Christina could also feel the coldness emanating

from

Rebecca in that instant.

Christina glared at Isabella. “What nonsense are you spouting?”

However, she couldn’t hide the slight tremble in her voice.

After all, Rebecca had secretly warned her not to harbor such thoughts towards Cedric before this.

Christina knew she could lose anything in the Johnson family except for Rebecca’s affection.

Once that was lost, Christina would truly have nothing.

Yet, Isabella had spoken so directly.

Isabella laughed coldly again. “Am I spouting nonsense?”

“You pushed the former Mrs. Johnson to such a point, and now you want to plot against me in the

same. way?!”

The information in this sentence was substantial enough.

Rebecca’s anger surged.

“Get her away from here! Take her away!” Rebecca said fiercely.

Undoubtedly, she had already figured out Christina’s feelings. But even if Christina had such intentions,

it

couldn’t be exposed to outsiders, right?

Family matters should be solved behind closed doors!

How could she allow Isabella to talk nonsense in front of others?

“Mom.” Christina cried pitifully in Rebecca’s arms, her voice full of grievances.

“Ms. Morgan, let’s leave for now,” Lucas suggested.

“Leave? Why?”

Cedric’s voice echoed through the hall as he walked down the staircase, bringing a momentary quiet to

the chaotic scene.

He glanced at the butler who was behind him. The man understood and quickly went downstairs to

assist

Elizabeth’s people in escorting the remaining guests away.

During this process, Cedric just coldly observed the situation.

Some guests who originally wanted to stay and enjoy the spectacle quickly changed their minds upon

feeling the dangerous aura emanating from Cedric.

In the end, the guests were all sent away.

Only the members of the Johnson family remained, and Cedric’s sharp and dangerous gaze fell on

“Mom.”

Christina’s heart trembled.

She was completely unaware of why Cedric was looking at her like this.

She shrank into Rebecca’s embrace.

Rebecca instinctively comforted Christina, “It’s okay, I’m here.”

At this moment, Christina felt like she had returned to her childhood. When frightened, she could

always

find solace in Rebecca’s arms.

stood at Elizabeth’s side and sensed that something was amiss.

She said to Elizabeth, “Madam Elizabeth, you’re tired too. Why not go rest first?”

“Alright. Elizabeth looked at the chaotic scene and was irritated. She cast a deep gaze at this annoying

situation and left.

Rebecca watched Cedric slowly descend the stairs. His gaze was still dangerously fixed on Christina.

Every step of his seemed to be stepping heavily on Christina’s heart.

At this moment, only Christina, Rebecca, Isabella, and Lucas remained on the scene.

The butler had led the others away.

Christina and Rebecca both sensed that something was off with Cedric. Even the blind Isabella felt the

unusual atmosphere.

“C–Ced…”

When Cedric stopped before Rebecca, Christina met his sharp eyes and felt her heart pounding in her

ribcage.

“What are you doing?”

directed at Christina.

Rebecca could almost confirm at this p

that Cedric’s strange behavior was

Although she had been displeased with Christina before, she instinctively protected her at this moment.

However, the next moment…!

Before everyone could react, Christina felt her view shift.

Cedric directly pulled her out of Rebecca’s embrace in a swift movement!

Thud!

Everyone was too shocked to move!

Christina felt a pain in her forehead. It was only then she realized that Cedric had yanked her out of

Rebecca’s embrace and had ruthlessly thrown her to the ground.

Warm liquid slid down, accompanied by a strong, bloody scent. It flowed down and rushed straight into

her eyes, turning her world into a vivid red.

It was clear Cedric had acted ruthlessly on purpose. It looked like he wanted to hurt her or even kill her!

Christina turned back in disbelief. She was trembling all over as she looked at Cedric.

However, her vision was blurry

“Ced?”

Her voice was soft and trembling, filled with grievances.

Even if Cedric said nothing at this moment, everyone present knew… something significant had

happened!

Otherwise, why would Cedric treat Christina in such a way?

He had never treated her like this before!

Even when he saw Christina covered in blood, he remained indifferent.

“W–what are you doing?” Rebecca finally reacted, looking at Cedric with a gaze full of reproach.
