Chapter 27 Deliberately Embarrassing Them

Rebecca sat on the large couch while Natalie occupied the smaller one next to her.

This comparison seemed to make Rebecca still exude an air of authority. With it, she believed she could boss Natalie around as she used to. But to her surprise, Natalie sat on the couch calmly. She hugged a small pig to her chest, utterly ignoring Rebecca. This infuriated the older woman!

“Zoe, make some tea,” Natalie instructed.

“Yes, madam,” Zoe responded, momentarily taken aback because Natalie had always done it.

Back then, Rebecca would have thrown a fit if anyone had helped Natalie with these tasks. Over time, everyone had come to expect that these chores were Natalie’s responsibility, and that nobody should

voluntarily take over.

But things were different now. Natalie sat on the couch like a pampered princess, holding her stuffed

animal, and Rebecca’s aura of authority was slipping away.

Seeing that Natalie didn’t care at all, Rebecca called Cedric.

“You need to come back immediately.”

“Are you at Scarlet Villa?”

“Yes!”

If Cedric didn’t return, Rebecca was about to blow a fuse!

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before he said, “I’ll have the driver take you

back to Johnson Manor.”

“Cedric!”

Before Rebecca could say more, Cedric hung up.

Rebecca’s face turned an angry shade of purple. She had only one thought in mind: Cedric must divorce

Natalie immediately, because she couldn’t tolerate this daughter–in–law for a single moment longer!

On the other hand, Natalie’s demeanor was completely opposite to Rebecca’s. She appeared as though
