A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 72 Shining Brightly

While she was planning to divorce Cedric, it wasn’t as if she felt nothing when people portrayed her in that

way.

Who would willingly accept unfair treatment?

Unfairness was one thing, but having to endure humiliation time and time again was quite another.

Natalie glanced at Rebecca. In her all–black evening gown with her hair elegantly coiled up, Rebecca truly exuded the presence of a queen.

Even her speech carried irresistible authority.

In the past, Natalie had been driven to lose her patience when confronted with this kind of gossip. She would retreat to the kitchen, which led people to assume that the kitchen was where she belonged.

A smirk tugged at her lips. “I’m afraid not. After all, I’m still the young mistress of the Johnson family, aren’t I?”

Rebecca retorted, “You’ve got some nerve!”

“Enough!” Cedric intervened just as Natalie was about to continue.

He swept her into his arms in a protective manner and said firmly. “She’s the young mistress of the Johnson family, not a servant. There’s no need for her to be in the kitchen.”

“You’re still protecting her at this point?!” Rebecca hissed.

She was on the verge of screaming her lungs out!

If it weren’t for the crowd of onlookers, she might have given Natalie a piece of her mind. Things were getting increasingly difficult to manage, and her composure was slipping.

Cedric didn’t say much more. Instead, he took Natalie’s hand and said, “Let’s go and wish Grandma a happy birthday.”

Rebecca was left frozen there, her heart pounding in rage.

If it weren’t for the presence of so many people, she wouldn’t have been able to hide the resentment in her eyes. Despite all these years in the Johnson family, she still needed some time to recuperate after this encounter.

She swallowed all her frustrations and grievances for now
