Chapter 252 Giving Up
Even as things reached a critical moment, Christina still stubbornly held onto Isabella. She did it even
knowing that admitting it would bring the heaviest consequences
She was determined to drag Isabella down with her.
However, what disappointed Christina was that no matter what she did or how hysterically she
demanded to see Cedric, she was disappointed in the end.
During this time, Wanda attempted to take the blame for her, but all attempts failed.
Christina would face the punishment she deserved for all her wrongdoings.
However, even after all her crimes were exposed. Cedric still didn’t appear before her
She was at her wit’s end. Before going to prison, Wanda came to see her. Christina asked Wanda to
pass
a message to Cedric, warning him to be cautious of Isabella.
Wanda cried as she said, “Even now, you still care about the master, but his heart has always been on
that
dead person.”
“Wanda, don’t say such things in the future.”
Christina’s tone was unusually indifferent.
She would never have acted this calmly before this. But now, it seemed as if she saw through
everything.
In fact, she hadn’t seen through anything; she had only seen through things between her and Cedric.
She had gone to great lengths, but what had she ultimately gained?
Only the realization that she shouldn’t try to force something that didn’t belong to her.
Once, she was the one who refused to accept fate the most.
But now, she had accepted it.
This time, she truly and completely accepted it.
“Miss‘ Wanda cried uncontrollably.
She looked at Christina, wanting to say something. But seeing the Indifference in her eyes, she
ultimately
swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
However, she still spoke about Cedric’s recent situation.

“Before that woman died, she managed to investigate everything. All evidence is pointing toward
Master Cedric.”
“If all of that is true, Master Cedric will face the same fate as you!”
As Wanda finished speaking, Christina’s face changed drastically. She looked at Wanda, pale. Her
eyes. widened and then became hollow.
He would face the same fate as herself?!
No, it couldn’t be.
How could it be?
Was it Isabella? Or the person behind Isabella?
Christina couldn’t accept the result brought by Wanda.
In her heart, Cedric was such a strong–willed person. How could he face such an ending?
He was so superior. How could this happen?!
“Wanda, quickly, go find my brother. Tell him that there must be someone behind Isabella. If I’m not
wrong, that person must be targeting him!”
Christina felt frustrated thinking about the consequences Cedric would face now.
It was something she absolutely didn’t want to see. She hated her current self, and she hated her past
self.
Even if she had been in desperate situations before, her feelings for Cedric had never changed.
Even though Cedric had never come to see her here, she didn’t blame him…!
After all, she had hurt the person who held his heart! She was the one who had blinded him to the truth!
“Miss…”
Wanda felt somewhat displeased when she saw Christina still defending Cedric at this point
But Christina’s expression turned cold. “Gol”
Wanda was silent.

Though she felt distressed looking at Christina’s appearance and harbored resentment toward the
Johnson family for it, Wanda nodded reluctantly.
“I understand,”
“Go! Now!!” Christina’s voice trembled.
The Johnson family was now in complete chaos.
Rebecca never expected that the special assistants around Natalie and Irwin would be so powerful..
Sweeping away the people she sent to disrupt them.
In a short period, they had truly uncovered everything.
Now, all the troubles were pointing towards Cedric
Christina’s schemes against Natalie.
Cedric’s ruthlessness towards Natalie.
Everything was intertwined. The Johnson family’s scandals were exposed one after another. They were
unable to hide, and the revelation shocked Verde City and the world.
When Rebecca arrived at Scarlet Villa, Wanda was there. Cedric was on a call, and Rebecca had no
idea
what was being said on the other end.
Cedric’s expression was cold, “No need. This is what I should bear!”
Upon hearing this, Rebecca was angered and anxious. Then, Cedric directly hung up the phone.
Wanda and Rebecca both approached. Without waiting for Rebecca to say anything, Wanda spoke
first,
Sir, about what Ms. Christina said…”
“Get lost!”
Just now, Wanda had conveyed Christina’s words to Cedric.
However, what she received was Cedric’s one–word dismissal. He didn’t listen to what she was saying,
or perhaps these things were simply unimportant to him.
Rebecca didn’t know what Wanda had told Cedric, and right now, she didn’t have the patience to find
out.

“Ced, you need to leave quickly now!”
The evidence was already starting to be investigated, and Rebecca was genuinely worried.
Cedric sat indifferently on the sofa, seemingly ignoring whatever Rebecca was saying.
“Did you even hear what i said?”
He probably wouldn’t be able to leave if he didn’t leave soon. Was he really going to let himself be
taken
into custody and endure what Natalie had suffered before?
It wasn’t a matter of a day or two or even a month or two!
Dealing with those matters, even with connections, might take a very long time.
Especially considering Cedric’s current attitude, Rebecca was worried that if he were taken away, it
would
be a lifetime.
Kyle and Lucas arrived.
“Ced,” Rebecca pleaded. She looked at Cedric, hoping he would leave quickly.

But Cedric just shouted, “Butler!”
“Yes, Master Cedric.”
“Escort the madam back.”
‘Cedr
*Madam, Master Cedric still has matters to attend to. Please go back first.” The butler said respectfully.
Cedric was calm and unhurried, which made Rebecca even more anxious than before.
Rebecca didn’t want to leave.
However, Cedric took Lucas and Kyle directly to the study, leaving Rebecca to scream downstairs. He
neither looked nor listened.
In the study, Cedric carefully placed the small box of ashes beside him. Kyle and Lucas exchanged
serious glances.
Lucas took a step forward and said hesitantly, “Sir, are you really…”
He couldn’t continue the rest of the sentence.

Before, when he saw Cedric treating Natalie like that, he thought… that Natalie no longer held Cedric’s
heart.
Who could have thought tha
the impact on him would be so great?
Originally, it wasn’t that Cedric no longer had Natalie in his heart, it was that he was thoroughly.
disappointed in Natalie.
When disappointment accumulated enough, he became even more ruthless towards her. 7
But in the end, everything turned out to be so ridiculous.
Natalie had never changed..
What changed… was him and the people around him. They misunderstood the person he loved the
most
and even threw her into hell
During this time. Dylan and Zane had been investigating Natalie’s affairs. Lucas thought Cedric would
ask
him to intervene.
But who would have thought that Cedre ordered him not to intervene and let them investigate freely?

truth
