Chapter 183 Heavy Blow
As Jocelyn left the company, she encountered Christina. Compared to Christina, Jocelyn appeared more
elegant.
When Christina saw Jocelyn, she could already guess what had happened.
“Did you come to see Ced? He must be busy, right? Did you get to see him?”
She sounded somewhat triumphant.
Jocelyn’s face darkened. “Was it you?”
Christina replied, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about, Joyce!”
“Hmph, revel in your satisfaction. I guess he and Natalie are getting back together? And what’s your
business in all of this? Why are you kicking up such a fuss and looking so satisfied?” Jocelyn’s face turned
stern. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Christina froze, and a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes. Jocelyn knew what kind of person Christina was-
she was still considered a treasure by the Johnson family.
As Jocelyn walked away, Christina turned back. She watched Jocelyn’s retreating figure and snorted.
Then, she walked triumphantly towards the elevator reserved for executives.
After Jocelyn was gone, Cedric returned to his office. He had just stepped in when Christina arrived.
She was smiling brightly, and she looked as cute as she used to as a kid. The only difference was that now she had grown into a young lady–beautiful and elegant.
“How’s it going, Ced? Is everything settled with Nat?”
Nat?!
Christina was addressing her quite affectionately.
Thinking of Natalie’s glory at the press conference earlier in the day fueled the jealousy burning inside her
ed at Christina. They had grown up together, and her smile was so familiar, yet it gave him.

The rules at Sylvan Gems are well known to you. You mentioned it too late this year; the orders were all
taken long ago!”
“But Nat is the CEO of Sylvan Gems,” Christina grumbled dissatisfiedly.
The disappointment in her tone made it uncomfortable to listen to.
However, Cedric was couldn’t do anything in this situation.
He only listened as Christina continued, “So, you falled to settle it on your end!?”
“Yeah.”
“It seems Nat still doesn’t like me, just like before.”
Cedric’s head started to ache. He glanced at Christina and said, “Who dislikes whom? I’m sure you’re well
aware of this!”
“Ced, it’s because of Mom… Christina didn’t finish her sentence, but it was evident.
She shifted all the blame onto Rebecca.
Cedric didn’t respond.
His previous judgments regarding Natalie and her time with the Johnson family and everything around him have been overturned.
Many things needed confirmation, so he refrained from making any statements on these matters.
At this moment, he didn’t even question Christina.
In essence, his previous certainties were shaken, and even his trust in Natalie wasn’t a hundred percent.
“Ced.”
“Enough, let it go! Forget about Sylvan Gems, okay?”
Cedric directly gave Christina a conclusion.
Thinking of Natalie’s attitude today, Cedric could tell that Natalie would never agree. That woman was Currently acting extremely arrogant,
ing no hope with Cedric, Christina said, “Then I go beg Nat. I’ll kneel and beg her.”

Otherwise, she’d be persistent and make everyone’s head ache.
This time, Cedric didn’t plan to indulge her.
“She’s busy right now. Don’t bother her,” Cedric said, looking at the tears welling up in her eyes. He probably shouldn’t have said that much.
Christina lowered her head, tears on the verge of falling.
“Tina!”
1 know. Nat just doesn’t like me. If she did, she would readily give in without hesitation!”
Cedric didn’t want to discuss this further, but Christina was deliberately doing this. If she felt too aggrived, Cedric would undoubtedly blame Natalie for being petty.
With how Natalie acted recently, she had no reason to shoulder this baseless blame!
With that, the two of them would start arguing again. Now, Christina was emulating Isabella.
Just as she was about to say something more, there was a knock on the office door.
“Come in!”
Yuvan entered. “Mr. Johnson!”
“What’s the matter?”
Cedric rubbed his throbbing forehead. The impatience was clear on his face. He had evidently been annoyed by Christina’s persistence.
Yuvan looked at Christina, his eyes clearly conveying a message.
Cedric also understood.
He said to Christina, “Go back. I have a meeting now.”
“Cedi” She was acting cute and aggressive at the same time.
I talk to her again!?
Thank you, Ced. You must insist, okay? My friends all know I’ll be getting the Clouds series this time They’ll make fun of me if I don’t wear them to the birthday party.”

Christina left contentedly. Passing by Yuvan, she gave him a cryptic look, and Yuvan respectfully lowered.
his head.
With Christina gone, only Cedric and Yuvan were left in the office.
Cedric took a sip of water to ease the tension in his chest.
“What’s the matter?” Cedric asked as he put down the cup.
“Mr, Johnson, something seemed off about Ms. Morgan’s surgery,” Yuvan said.
Cedric tensed. He looked at Yuvan.
“What do you mean?”
“Yesterday, Ms. Morgan asked me to go to the hospital to pick up her medicine and deliver it to Sapphire.
However, when I went to the hospital, Dr. Landry, who performed her surgery, was nowhere to be found.”
“He’s gone?”
“Yes.”
“What are you trying to say?”
“Here.”
Yuvan placed a document in front of Cedric.
Cedric picked it up and glanced through it. Based on the information, there didn’t seem to be any issues.
However, the problem lay in the significant change in Dr. Landry’s occupation. Previously, he was just the head of an ophthalmology department in a hospital.
But now, he was running a medical equipment company that had just been established, with a registered capital of five million.
What about his family?”
We checked. Dr. Landry’s wife is just a full–time housewife, and his parents had ordinary jobs before.”
A hospital director without any wealthy background suddenly rose to manage a medical equipment company with a registered capital of millions?
did this happen?”
Me Morgan’s surgery
+15 BONUS
One month after the surgery. This timing couldn’t be a coincidence, especially for someone like Dr. Landry, who was just a director of an ophthalmology department.
Cedric closed his eyes, emitting a chilling
aura.
At this moment, without thinking, he knew there might have been foul play behind Isabella’s failed surgery.
Who would hate Isabella so much?
“Investigate his connections before and after,” Cedric spoke again, his tone filled with coldness and a hint of dangerous intent.
Isabella! Ivan!
Cedric had always been concerned about the matters concerning Isabella. Even if she had really gone blind, the Johnson family had taken good care of her.
If it was a usual surgical failure, it might have been overlooked.
But if someone intentionally tampered with it behind the scenes…
