Chapter 14 Online Harassment and Threats

Upstairs, Natalie listened to Cedric’s yelling at Rebecca. She couldn’t help but feel sad about how ironic

the situation was!

When they had looked down on her, even refusing to allow her to have Cedric’s child, she hadn’t uttered a

Looking back now, she realized how foolishly she had thought that she simply needed to do better, and

eventually, the Johnson family would accept her.

Since the deaths of her parents and grandmother, she had never experienced the warmth of a family.

That’s why she had been single–mindedly working to maintain Cedric’s family.

Her entire focus had been on gaining their acceptance. But in the end, she had been wrong.

She closed her eyes, but the sorrow on her face was impossible to conceal.

Natalie let out a bitter laugh.
