Michael and Christina used to be an intimate couple, yet he had failed to realize her real identity.If Christina revealed the fact that she was John’s daughter back then, Michael’s mother would not have caused her trouble by going to great lengths to make them divorce. They could still be leading a blissful life together. Nevertheless, Christina chose to conceal her identity all these years. She did not tell the truth even when she was misunderstood, bullied, and expelled from the Larson family.It really broke Michael’s heart to know that she even hid from him despite sharing the same bed with him. “Christina, have you ever loved me? Even if it's just a little bit?” “No! Never, not in the slightest!” Christina lost her cool.At this point, Michael actually questioned her whether she had ever loved him. If she had not, why would she have insisted on marrying him despite her uncle’s objection? Why had she endured the brutal torture that Heather inflicted upon her over the past
Sophia and Serena had both analyzed the possible outcomes. Even if Michael now knew about Christina’s real identity, they knew how to deal with it, so they were not at all worried.“You knew Christina’s real identity long ago, didn’t you?” Michael stared piercingly at Serena as if he was going to see through her.“Michael, you’ve found out about everything?” A look of surprise crossed Serena’s face. She immediately looked down to suppress her emotions. “Yes, I knew earlier on that Christina is my sister. Because of Mom, Christina has been very hostile toward us and never forgiven us. She has even changed her last name.”“Does this mean that everyone else, except my mom and I, has already learned about your surrogacy? Since you knew that Christina is your sister and that she hates you so much, why did you still provoke her by agreeing to bear a child for her?”“I didn’t mean to provoke Sister, Michael. Admittedly, I lied to you, but Sister couldn’t get pregnant back then. Dad and Mo
‘Christina’s having a row with Mom in the house?’ Michael was taken aback, then he quickly stood up. Serena heard the caretaker’s words as well. “Michael, let’s go and have a look.”Christina went to visit Francis in his ward after Michael left. Francis’ injury was more serious than hers as he was hit by a brick on the head and consequently had a concussion. Christina sat on the side of his bed chatting with him while Travis was left playing alone in the ward. The two adults did not notice when Travis went missing until a nurse came holding an envelope. The nurse gave Christina the envelope. “Someone asked me to hand this to you.”Feeling puzzled, Christina took the envelope from the nurse and opened it. There was only one sentence in the message: [If you want your child to be safe, get out of Perth soon!]“Travis!” Christina finally realized that Travis had gone missing. Just as she ran out of the ward in a panic to look for him, she bumped into Ariel. Ariel noticed Christina’s
The caretaker blocked Christina at the door. “Miss Williams, we don’t know where your son is. You’d better leave now.”“If you don’t hand my son over to me, I’m not going to leave! Heather, tell me where my son is right now. Otherwise, I’m going to pay you back for all you’ve done!”“What does your son’s disappearance have to do with me?” Heather began to lose her temper. Nobody else had ever barged into her house and made an accusation against her. Christina was getting more unreasonable. How dare she come and kick up a fuss here?!“Christina, just because you’ve given birth to a son, it doesn’t mean you’re capable. Since an uncultured woman like you can’t even teach your son properly, you deserve losing him!” “You wicked old woman! Nobody else would hurt my son except for you. Come at me if you have the guts. What’s so impressive about hurting my son?”Christina chased after Heather while pointing at her. “You actually plan to hurt a child. Aren’t you afraid of karma? Aren’t yo
“You’re asking me what I’m trying to do? Why don’t you ask your mother what she did?” Christina showed a baleful glare as if she was going to eat someone up.“Mom, what did you do?” Michael shifted his gaze to his mother.“I didn’t do anything. This b*tch barged into our house and hit me without getting her facts straight. Ah, my head hurts very badly!”“Stop pretending! You must be the one who kidnapped my son! Heather, God is watching everything you do. Karma is going to come for you!” “I didn’t kidnap her son. Trust me, Michael. I really didn’t kidnap her son!”“You’re still trying to pretend, huh? You got someone to take my son away in the mall last time, and I’m sure it’s also you who did it this time. Heather, if anything happens to my son, I’m going to make you pay back with your life.”Amid the bustle in the house, Ariel’s phone rang. She picked up the call, and her face glowed with surprise. “Travis has been found? Alright, we’re coming back now.” Everyone heard Ariel
As Christina was worried about Travis’ safety, she wanted to leave with Ariel right away. However, Heather dashed toward them and blocked their way. “No way. I can’t accept being humiliated in such a terrible way. She has to compensate me for the humiliation I suffered today!”While holding Heather, Serena said, “Mrs. Larson, just forgive her this time.”Of course, Heather would not let Christina go. Now that her son had returned, she was more confident. She did not mind another fight!Heather took off her high heels and threw them at Christina. After that, she even went forward to pull Christina’s hair. Christina subconsciously defended herself, and a slap landed on Heather’s face. Heather happened to come forward, but Christina did not mean to slap her face. Christina did not plan to retreat since she had already slapped Heather in the face. She believed that Heather deserved it! The crisp sound of the slap was heard. Covering her face, Heather staggered back and nearly fell.
“Are you blaming me? I’m doing this for your own good.” Heather did not think she was wrong. “All you think about is that cheap woman. When will you give me a grandson?!”“Mom, I know you have my best interests in heart but I’m not your puppet. I have my own way of thinking so stop trying to force your ways on me, please?”“Alright, I’ll stop forcing my ways on you but this is not going to end here. Imagine how embarrassed I’d be if the public knew someone attacked me in my own house without reason? I’ll not let Christina off the hook. I’ll make her pay!”“What will you do?” Michael could not think straight. He figured there must be something else behind this. Perhaps his mother provoked Christina first? However, her rushing into their house to attack his mother still upset him nonetheless.Heather was still his mother even if she did something wrong. Did Christina think of him at all when she hit his mother?“Call the police and send her to jail. I will not free her of this!” Hea
Heather had no idea about Travis’s disappearance thus she was genuinely surprised when Christina barged through the door. An idea suddenly popped into her mind during the argument. She thought that if she could provoke Christina, Michael would finally open his eyes to see the woman’s true colors.Therefore, instead of trying to explain herself, she started to argue fiercely with Christina, all with the intention of forcing her to do something irrational. Her goal would then be achieved when her son returned. Heather started the fight and cursed Christina’s son. As expected, anger got into the other woman’s head and she almost strangled Heather to death.There was no return for Heather at this point, so the fight only became more intense.When Michael refused to say anything, she knew all of these were for nothing, that he was still siding Christina. She was filled with extreme anger and hatred.Heather could tell from the worry in her son’s eyes that he still cared about his moth
