Chapter 8 Turning Hostile

“Nat, there’s no need to bother about them because of me,” Bianca said, looking at Natalie with concern.

Clearly, she was worried about Natalie’s miserable days in the Johnson family. After all, they were still not divorced, and being a wealthy family’s daughter-in-law was no easy task.

Natalie waved her hand dismissively and said, “They haven’t treated me well either. Now that we’re getting divorced, there’s no need to hold back and continue pretending.”

Because of Cedric, Natalie had always tried to please the Johnson family, no matter how difficult they made life for her. She had hoped they would accept her if she did so.

But in the end, there was no acceptance. There was only a status quo that remained the same forever.

Just then, her phone vibrated. She checked it and saw that it was Cedric calling. She glanced at Bianca and answered, “Hello.”

“What did you say to Tina?” Cedric’s voice was tense.

“Don’t you already know? By the way, she’s with Ms. Morgan now. I didn’t know that woman had become so close to your family.”

Natalie made sure to emphasize the last two words. Even through the phone, she could feel Cedric’s breath hitch for a moment.

Natalie quickly hung up the phone and closed her eyes, concealing the sharpness in her gaze.

Bianca glanced at her and commented, “I didn’t expect your relationship with him to be so strained.”
