A Divorce After My Rebirth

Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Christina’s Schemes

Christina’s heart skipped a beat.

In her eyes, there was a flash of hostility towards Jocelyn.

However, she managed to hide it in front of Rebecca.

Just as Natalie had mentioned at the police station, Christina wouldn’t be fond of anyone who had at

relationship with Cedric.

So, how could she possibly become friends with Isabella?

Although it was unclear how she had distanced herself from Natalie’s words, one thing had to be

acknowledged: Christina was a skilled actress in the Johnson family.

To win the favor of someone as discerning as Rebecca, Christina definitely had some tricks up her sleeve.

After Jocelyn left, Christina cautiously asked, “Mom, have you really looked into Joyce?” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Rebecca remained silent at the question.

“After all, she spent so many years abroad. What exactly is it like out there? Who knows what might have.

happened in such a distant place?”

Over the years, Rebecca would secretly investigate anyone who had spent several years abroad and

expressed an interest in marrying into the Johnson family.

However, she had never investigated Jocelyn.

It was because Jocelyn had harbored affection for Cedric before going abroad. Even now, she still seemed quite infatuated with him.

So, when Christina asked this question, Rebecca’s expression darkened.

After some thought, Rebecca responded, “Although I haven’t looked into her, you know what kind of person she is. She’s gentle, polite, knowledgeable, and sensible. There shouldn’t be anything untoward about her, I suppose.

Christina shook her head and said, “That’s true. But Mom, you know what foreign countries are like. Joyce is gentle and polite, but there are plenty of liberal men with outgoing personalities there. I know you want Ced’s marriage to last long enough so that you’ll have grandchildren, right? So, it’s better to investigate thoroughly

Christina seemed to be completely on Rebecca’s side, giving Rebecca some good reminders and advice.

It made it impossible for Rebecca to find fault with her.

Rebecca closed her eyes for a moment, then nodded.

“You’re right. The environment can change a person significantly. I’ll have someone look into it,” she

conceded.

Speaking of grandchildren, Rebecca felt indignant.

Natalie hadn’t given the Johnson family an heir. She recalled how Natalie had shoved the necklace filled

with ashes on her previously.

Rebecca obviously knew Natalie had been pregnant, but she never told Cedric!

That day, Cedric’s expression had clearly shown his ignorance.

She had never wanted Natalie to have a child. From the moment Cedric and Natalie married, she hadn’t believed they could stay together for long, despite their seven years of dating.

“Well, an investigation is necessary. After all, Cedric is not getting any younger. After his divorce from Natalie, he should be cautious about getting married again,” Rebecca added.

Christina nodded in agreement, her eyes gleaming with shrewdness!

Rebecca also approved of what Christina had said.

After all, Cedric had invested nearly a decade in Natalie, and most people his age already had kids of their own. Seeing several women her age personally taking their grandchildren to school, Rebecca felt

envious.

Wanda brought tea for Rebecca and hesitatingly said, “Madam, if you don’t mind me saying… I think it’ll be good for her to leave this family. She’s planning on divorcing Master Cedric, but she’s spending his money recklessly. It’s absolutely inappropriate.”

Rebecca scowled. “Hmph, she’s got some nerve!”

Speaking of the divorce, Rebecca’s briefly improved mood due to Jocelyn’s intervention quickly soured.

When Natalie married Cedric, she had nothing, just herself. But now, she was demanding a share of the joint assets from the last three years.

Seeing Rebecca’s renewed displeasure towards Natalie, Wanda shot a quick glance at Christina and continued “When she came back earlier, she was driving quite an impressive car. It looked like one of

What’s it called? Bu 7 I’m not sure, but it seemed really extravagant!”

“A Bugatti?” Christina interjected, sounding somewhat shocked.

Rebecca was well aware of what a Bugatti was. She looked at Wanda and couldn’t help but ask, “She

drove a Bugatti?!”

“Yes. It looked brand new, so she must have just bought it!”

Rebecca’s face darkened.

Cedric had bought Natalie a BMW sports car, which was fitting for her role as the Johnson family’s young

mistress.

But now she was driving a Bugatti? The price tag on one of those cars was exorbitant!

Christina’s expression also changed. She had wanted a Bugatti for a long time but hadn’t been able to

convince Rebecca to agree to it.

Though Rebecca had always liked her as an adopted daughter, the price of a Bugatti Veyron was

undeniably high

Now, hearing that Natalie had apparently brought a brand new Bugatti Veyron to the old estate, she

couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger and jealousy.

“That woman is getting more cunning by the day!” Rebecca exclaimed, her anger evident

She was beyond furious.

Christina wore a displeased expression as well. “Ced spoils her so much. At this rate, will they really

divorce?

“I don’t care! Even if they don’t want to, they must!”

The more Rebecca talked about it, the angrier she became. With all the recent developments, Natalle was

becoming increasingly intolerable.

On the other side, Cedric had been in meetings all day due to losing the eastern suburbs project.

The situation in the eastern suburbs offered no room for compromise, so they had been exploring the possibility of an adjacent plot of land.

Although they hadn’t initially considered it, the surrounding amenities and Irwin’s development plans made it a viable option

Their plans for the next year were disrupted, but the real estate company needed to keep running. As a

While he was frustrated and contemplating how to secure the adjacent plot, Rebecca called him. He knew he couldn’t ignore it; if he did, she would keep calling.

Eventually, Cedric answered. “What is it?”

“Did you buy her a new car?” Rebecca demanded over the phone.

Cedric had no idea what Rebecca was talking about, and he couldn’t believe his mother was bothering

him with such a trivial matter.

He was feeling increasingly agitated.

“What’s wrong with me getting her a car? Are you trying to micromanage even this small matter now? If that’s the case, why don’t you take care of everything for the Johnson family, and I won’t need to worry

about anything?” Cedric retorted.

After all, he was the company’s deputy chairman.

Buying a car was such a trivial matter. Did his mother even have to question this?!

Rebecca softened her tone after Cedric’s sharp response.

She said, “She’s been pushing for a divorce lately. I’m sure you bought her a car to appease her, and that’s

fine. But you got her such a luxurious car! A Bugatti Veyron! Did she even show any gratitude when you

gave her that?”

Rebecca was infuriated by Natalie’s attitude when she had arrived at the Johnson Manor today.

Natalie hadn’t even smiled at Rebecca after Cedric bought her such a nice carl

It was clear that Natalie didn’t care about the gesture!

In Rebecca’s mind, Natalie was getting increasingly unreasonable as the days went by. It was becoming clearer that this… was Natalie’s true nature.

In the midst of a meeting, Cedric’s expression changed upon hearing that Natalie had indeed driven a Bugatti Veyron to the Johnson Mahor.

“Are you serious?” he asked.
