Chapter 12 Confrontation

As soon as Natalie returned to Scarlet Villa, she sensed that something was amiss when she walked

through the door.

Zoe greeted her at the entrance. Her expression seemed somewhat uneasy as she said, “Madam

Johnson is here.”

Natalie raised an eyebrow.

Thinking about her attitude towards Rebecca yesterday morning, she feared that the older woman would

come in person to confront her at night.

She ran her hand through her disheveled hair and walked inside, where she saw Rebecca sitting on the grand sofa with an air of superiority, much like a queen dowager.

In her previous life, every time Natalie saw Rebecca like this, she would quickly serve tea and water like a maid.

Back then, she was eager to please Cedric’s family. She didn’t realize that the more humble she appeared, the more they looked down on her.

She kicked off her shoes and casually threw her bag onto the sofa.

“Zoe.”

“Yes, Madam,” Zoe hurriedly entered and respectfully stood by Rebecca’s side.

At this moment, Natalie could see the disdain in her mother–in–law’s eyes. The contempt was impossible to hide.

Rebecca said, “Disinfect the place immediately. Coming out of a place like that brings bad luck. I wonder what kind of curse the Johnson family is under to have someone enter such a place for the first time in our long history!”

Natalie listened to these words and closed her eyes for a moment.
