Chapter 248 Christina Has Gone Mad

Rebecca was currently overwhelmed.

Initially, she was already frustrated when Christina was taken away.

Now, with Cedric acting like this, it added to her distress.

The rumors surrounding the Johnson family are spreading like wildfire, especially concerning their

adopted daughter.

“Ced, Tina can’t stay inside. Her presence there has a certain impact on our family,” Rebecca said

urgently.

In influential circles, reputation was closely tied to businesses. Rebecca’s words are an attempt to

persuade Cedric to let Christina go. She knew that Cedric was the one to have handed over the

evidence.

However, Cedric seemed to ignore her words. He calmly lifted a glass of red wine and took a sip.

Rebecca became more anxious. “Although she’s not your biological sister, she grew up with you. How

can

you do this for the sake of an-

“She wasn’t an outsider!” Cedric looked at his mother again, his eyes filled with disappointment and

sorrow.

See?

Every time Rebecca mentioned Natalie, he could basically guess what she was going to say.

An outsider?

Hah…!

So, how did his mother treat this outsider when he wasn’t around Natalie?

Rebecca was momentarily stunned. When she saw the pain in Cedric’s eyes, she finally realized that

she

“I wasn’t going to say that.”

“Then what was she? How did you see her?

Two sharp questions left Rebecca speechless.

She wanted to ask more, but seeing Cedric’s expression, all words were stuck in her throat.

Onginally, she wanted to plead for Christina. But looking at Cedric’s current state, she knew there was

However, his living with Natalie’s ashes at Scarlet Villa was something Rebecca couldn’t accept.

“In any case, you should let her rest in peace!”

She had to think of some other way to deal with what happened with Christina.

But regarding her son, she wasn’t going to watch him sink into despair.

This time, Cedric doesn’t argue. He simply said, “Yes, she will”

Rebecca should have been happy with this answer. However, Cedric’s words sounded like he had let

go of everything.

just letting go of Natalie, but also letting go of himself.

Was this indicating that he was going to follow Natalie?

“Ced…”

When Rebecca thought of this, her voice started trembling

No, it couldn’t be!

Cedric remained silent, quietly eating his food. It was as if Natalie was still sitting there, elegantly

enjoying her meal just like before.

Ever since he moved to Scarlet Villa, Cedric had always sat in that seat with Natalie by his side.

Occasionally, he would place some of Natalie’s favorite dishes on her plate.

Just like now.

He removed the fat from a piece of pork and left only the lean meat on Natalle’s empty plate.

Rebecca felt numb watching this. She realized that there was no point in saying anything to Cedric at

this

moment.

Eventually, she turned and reluctantly left.

Christina was currently being held in the central detention center, undergoing continuous interrogations.

Despite the relentless questioning, she insisted that Isabella gave her the card.

During this time, Isabella was also brought in. However, unlike Christina, Isabella was released within

On the other hand, Christina hadn’t been able to leave since she entered.

“I want to see my brother.”

That had been Christina’s most frequent request these days. She just wanted to see Cedric

However, the response she received was cold.

“All the evidence has been verified now. Your request is meaningless.”

“I want to see my brother.” Christina looked at the person in front of her with madness in her eyes.

She had gone mad, finally driven to madness

When the person said that all the evidence had been verified, her days of perseverance were

completely.

shattered.

No matter what she did over the years or whenever people around her began to suspect her, she

always found a way to escape without being doubted.

How many times had she thrown dirt on Natalie? She even wanted to forget every single incident she

had

done!

She would always remember how she successfully broke Natalie each time. She had always been

flawless in her planning.

Clearly, everyone was on her side.

So why?

Why were these people interrogating her day and night?

Why didn’t Cedric come to see her yet?

Even her mother, who used to adore her, hadn’t come!

“I didn’t do it! It wasn’t me!” That was the only thing Christina could say after all the questioning.

She was smart and knew that until someone from the Johnson family arrived, denying everything was

the

best strategy.

Don’t answer any questions directly.

“Ms. Johnson, what we’re asking is…”

“Don’t ask anymore! I don’t know anything!” Christina screams in despair.

She refused to speak or say anything. She believed that the Johnson family would come for her.

They must be angry now. But once their anger subsided, they would come to take her away.

Christina didn’t believe that the Johnson family would abandon her.

But thinking about how Isabella was now being protected by Cedric, even though Isabella participated

in

everything she did…

Why was Christina the only one undergoing this interrogation?

What about Isabella?!

Christina clenched her teeth even tighter when she thought about Isabella, refusing to admit anything.

The waiting was the longest and most agonizing.

Christina didn’t know how she managed to last inside the detention center.

Once, in the face of irrefutable evidence, Natalie still had room for resistance. She was inside, but there

were many people outside helping her.

However, Christina had been inside for a full two weeks. Not a single person had come to see her.

No one has cast a glance at her.

She didn’t even know if someone outside was helping her like they did for Natalie. Would the Johnson.

family help her this time? Did Cedric still trust her?

The longer the time went on, the more she lost confidence in this.

A person without confidence was destined to gradually descend into despair.

Finally…

After half a month, someone came to see her.

She thought Cedric had forgiven her and finally agreed to take her out.

However, to her surprise, the person she saw in the reception room was not Cedric or Rebecca but…

Wanda!

It was just a servant from the Johnson family.

“Wanda?” Christina looked at Wanda and glanced behind her. There was endless disappointment in

her eyes.

Seeing Christina looking so gaunt, Wanda’s eyes were filled with pity.

“Oh, Ms. Christina. You’ve suffered so much.”

Wanda, whose hair had turned considerably white, looked extremely haggard at this moment. Christina

ignored all of this and coldly asked in a disgruntled tone, Where’s my mom?”
