Chapter 19 Going Abroad
Natalie’s head snapped to the side from the blow to her face! There were bloodstains at the corners of
her mouth, and she looked disheveled.
However, her gaze was sharp, sending shivers down the spine of anyone who looked at her. Those
who did so wouldn’t be able to help taking a step back.
Although briefly stunned, Rebecca quickly regained her composure and yelled, “How dare you look at
me like that?! Look at yourself now! What have you turned the Johnson family into?”
Natalie remained silent.
“You dare to mention divorce again? What qualifications do you have to ask for a divorce? Our family is
the one that doesn’t want you.”
Seething with anger, Rebecca’s words were harsh and her eyes were filled with disdain.
Christina stepped forward to comfort Rebecca. “Mom, don’t get too upset. Getting angry isn’t good for
your health.”
The furious Rebecca didn’t care about maintaining her composure. She glared at Natalie intensely.
“How much?”
Money?
Things were at this point, and now Rebecca wanted to settle things with money.
Natalie looked at Rebecca. “How much money do you think is fair compensation for my share of three

“What did you say? Joint assets? What right do you have? You married into our family and enjoyed a
comfortable life! Did you ever go out and work a single day, huh?!”
“I am his legally recognized wife. I have every right.
“You… Rebecca’s face turned ashen, and she immediately screamed, “I always said that you looked
Innocent on the outside, but your heart is filled with malice! Ced didn’t believe it back then, but now
your true colors are finally showing!”
Natalie paid no attention to what Rebecca was saying. She remained persistent and stubborn.
There was one thing that was different now compared to when she and Cedric were in love. She hadn’t
asked for anything back then, but the situation had changed. If she couldn’t hold onto the man she
loved,

“You don’t need to call me malicious. I gave him my love for ten years, and I’ve lost out in that aspect.”
“What does your love amount to?”
“Everything your son willingly bought, obviously!”
Rebecca and Christina exchanged a glance, clearly not expecting Natalie to have such a sharp wit.
They had initially planned to use money to send Natalie away, thinking she would be sensible at this
point and take it, but they hadn’t anticipated her level–headedness.
“I really underestimated you,” Rebecca said, her eyes flashing with hate as she looked at Natalie.
“I will divorce him. You don’t need to worry about that. Of course… as long as my interests are
secured,”
Natalie replied.
In the end, she made it clear to everyone that she wasn’t a pushover, and that the ways of the elite
wouldn’t work with her.
In the end, Rebecca left in a huff.
In the villa, Natalie sat on the sofa, holding her pig in her arms as she reminisced about the years she
had
spent with Cedric.
Bianca arrived and handed her the result of the divorce application. ‘There’s a six–month waiting period
for divorce cases. You know that, right?”
Natalie nodded. “Yes, I’m aware.”
She wouldn’t want to wait for six months if she had a choice, but Cedric’s attitude had left her with no
other option.
“Do you want to move in with me now?” Bianca asked.
“No need. As you can see, moving in with you won’t bring me peace either.”
Natalie was referring to the online harassment. Even after leaving Johnson Manor, she was still under
the Johnson family’s control.
“Your face… Bianca looked heartbroken.
Natalie turned her head slightly, feeling embarrassed, “It’s nothing. I’ve gotten used to it.”
When she lived at Johnson Manor, Rebecca used to slap her when she was displeased. She acted like

would
end like this.
“So, what are your plans now?” Bianca asked.
After all, Natalie had never worked during all these years with Cedric. Leaving him meant she would be
left with nothing, and would have to rely on herself for everything from now on.
“I’ve already bought a plane ticket for tomorrow afternoon,” Natalie replied.
“Where are you going?
“I’m going abroad for a while. Things won’t be peaceful here for some time. I need to get away to think.
about how to deal with what comes next.”
“Are you really okay with this?” Bianca asked.
She had previously advised Natalie to leave Cedric. But now that it was actually happening, she was
worried about Natalie’s future.
A bitter smile crossed Natalie’s stunning face. “I never thought we’d end up arguing with each other
until
we were so hysterical. But when it happened, it wasn’t as frightening as I thought.”
Bianca nodded. “I’ll help you find a job. You have great specialization and excellent art skills, so finding
work will be easy.
Natalie nodded in gratitude. She hadn’t refused Blanca’s kindness because she had become
disconnected from society during her ten years with Cedric. This was one of the reasons she had been
afraid to leave him.
But now, after having experienced death once, what did she have to fear?
