A Complicated Romance Chapter 246
It was quite an unpleasant meal as everyone’s minds were full of thoughts. Christina eventually did not feel like eating anymore. She put down her fork and left.Christina did not make those remarks merely to humiliate Sophia and her daughter. After coming out of the dining room, she waited for John in the living room. “I’ve got something to tell you.”“Alright. Let’s talk in my study room.” John supposed that Christina would probably make some unkind remarks, so he did not wish to let Sophia and her daughter hear their conversation.However, Christina did not appreciate his intention. “There’s no need for that. We can talk over here.”After coming out of the dining room, Sophia and her daughter initially planned to return to their room to calm themselves down. As soon as they heard that Christina wanted to discuss something with John, both of them lingered for a moment and ended up sitting on the couch in the living room.With Sophia and Serena seated by his side, John frowned an

“Am I?” Christina stared sarcastically at Serena. “I’m just trying to fulfill my responsibility and obligation as a citizen!” “You… You must be jealous of Michael and me because we’ve gotten engaged. This is just sour grapes!” Serena exploded in anger without being concerned about her image.Serena promised the project to Heather on the phone this afternoon, and now she was tricked by Christina. What was Christina’s real intention?“You’re right. I’m really jealous of both of you!” Christina gave a cold laugh. “Are you under the impression that I’ll extend my wishes to a pr*ck and sl*t like both of you? Let me tell you that I can’t wait to see both of you die!”With a pale face, Serena looked at John to ask for help. “Dad!”John had no illusion about the root cause of Christina’s resentment. It was mostly because she was indignant that she gained nothing after being expelled from the Larson family back then. It broke John’s heart to see his daughter being victimized so terribly.

“Mom, you’re really smart. If Michael and Heather find out that it’s Christina who’s messing things up, they’ll surely hate her. I’ll no longer have to worry about Michael having feelings for her.”Serena immediately brightened up. “I’m going to call Mrs. Larson now and tell her what happened today.”“Be cautious about your words. Don’t let the cat out of the bag.” Sophia reminded her.“Don’t worry, Mom. I know what to say.”Serena described everything that had just happened and embellished it on the phone. “Mrs. Larson, I didn’t expect Christina to be this wicked too. She said that if Dad’s bold enough to help the Larson family, she’ll report it to the police. In this case, Dad is left with no choice. She’s probably going to screw up this matter.”Boiling with anger, Mrs. Larson clutched the phone fiercely. “Damn, what a little b*tch! She must be taking vengeance on Michael since he chased her out of the family back then. She’s really awful!”As Mrs. Larson was speaking, she did

Michael had spent a great deal of money attracting entry submissions. He planned to collect all the outstanding design schemes from the community.Since the Larson family had learned about the news, it was impossible that the Henderson family did not know about it. Matthew had actually gotten into gear. Both parties were in a tense atmosphere. Ultimately, the one with a more outstanding design scheme would be the winner.Heather returned to her room and lied on the bed. However, she was unable to fall asleep. Ever since she learned that Christina was John’s daughter, she became uneasy and had difficulty falling asleep.If Heather had known Christina’s identity earlier, she would not have tortured her savagely.If that was the case, Christina would have probably given birth to a son for Michael. Coupled with John’s indulgence toward her, everything would have turned out well.Nevertheless, everything had been ruined at this point. Heather chased a mayor’s daughter out, yet Michael

“What happened?” Christina asked in surprise.“I heard from Dad that Martin was highly sought-after when he was in the spotlight back then. Besides architecture, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of antiques and paintings. Many European collectors have asked him to appraise paintings.” “There was once where a France collector requested Martin to purchase a set of precious antique paintings which was available within the country. The collector eventually found out that those were reproduction paintings. Because of this, Martin went bankrupt and subsequently disappeared.” “Just because of that?” Christina found it unbelievable. “With his well-established reputation, he could’ve made a comeback despite his bankruptcy. Why did he have to seclude himself?”“There has been another rumor of him living in seclusion, not because of the paintings. It’s because his dearest woman had married another man. In fact, he had fallen deeply in love with the woman. At last, he got out of the public e

“It’s not easy to get bone marrow. A lot of patients in the hospital never get the chance to find a bone marrow that matches them.”After thinking over it, Christina told Francis the suggestion provided by Doctor James. “Uncle Francis, I’m not just planning to get their assets when I go back this time. I’ll also be taking Michael’s sperm to have another child. The blood inside the umbilical cord can be used to save Travis.” Much as Francis felt like stopping her, he was unable to come up with any other alternative, so he tacitly approved it. “Christina, I’ll support you regardless of your decision. I hate myself for being useless and incapable of helping you with anything.” “Uncle Francis, what makes you say so? You’ve done more than enough for me.” Christina held Francis’s hand. “Somehow I’m getting grumpier recently, and I haven’t been feeling myself. What should I do, Uncle Francis? I feel that I’ve become evil. I’ve become an evil person.”“Christina, you’re not evil. You’re

“According to Mayor John’s logic, all babies would enjoy drinking milk. You might as well give me a milk bottle.”John was embarrassed, while Christina pretended that she did not notice his expression. “Y’all just enjoy your meal. I have something to discuss with you after you finish your meal.” John was stunned to see her turn around. “Aren’t you eating?”“These oily dishes are disgusting and nauseating. I’d better go back to my room and have instant noodles.” After making such a remark, she believed that they would not be able to eat well.Christina actually said that the dishes were disgusting. How were the rest going to eat the food? Serena couldn’t resist commenting. “Christina, these are what Mom deliberately prepared for you. Even if you don’t appreciate it, you shouldn’t have made such unpleasant remarks!”“Sorry. Unlike Miss Garcia who’s a young lady from an eminent family, I’m just an ordinary person. I have no idea how to describe the dead bodies of these animals on th

“Shh!” Sophia immediately stopped her daughter, then she glanced at Miss Laura who was clearing the leftovers. “I’ve reminded you many times to be cautious about your words!”John went up to Christina’s room. After knocking on the door, he entered the room. “Christina, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. To be honest, I only found out later…”“Stop!” Christina waved her hand. “I’m not concerned about that. Let’s be honest with each other. I’ve come back to the Garcias’ house as per your request. When are you giving me your assets as you’ve promised? John was stunned. He did not expect Christina to be so forthright. “In a few days.”“In a few days?” Christina asked.“Christina, are you really desperate for money at this moment?” John asked tentatively.“Yes!”“I’ll give you all the money I’ve saved up over these few years, okay?”“What about those paintings? Are you not giving them to me?” Christina asked.“Of course they belong to you, but I’ll only hand them to you after Sere

In fact, Matthew was the one who planned this entire thing. He had been keeping a close eye on Rachel since she returned.He could let bygones be bygones if she was willing to settle down.

Besides, even if the plan failed, intentionally causing a pregnant woman to miscarry was not considered homicide by the country’s criminal law. The punishment was less serious as the behavior would be categorized as an assault occasioning bodily harm.Assault and criminal homicide were two completely different crimes.Rachel agreed to the suggestion. Scarface was indeed a ruthless man. He came up with this vicious revenge that would put Christina in pain forever.Upon agreeing on the details of the plan, Scarface and his friends from the streets proceeded to kidnap Christina. Rachel and Serena were told to sit tight and wait for the good news.Scarface had a well-thought-out plan and got his hands on Christina before long. Her head was covered with a black cloth as they forcefully pushed her into the van.Serena and Rachel were already at the agreed-upon location when Scarface instructed Christina to step out of the vehicle.

Serena lost everything. She had no choice but to work as a bargirl to survive.Scarface was the person in charge of the bar she worked at. The ruthless man had pretty much slept with every woman who worked at his place. Naturally, Serena could not escape from that fate either.Serena was different from other bargirls. She came from a prestigious family and was highly educated. Even in dire straits, she still maintained a certain grace that made her stand out from the crowd.Scarface spotted her on her first day at the bar. He ordered his men to drag her into the private room and tortured her the entire night.She resisted in the beginning. However, without anyone to depend on, she had no choice but to give into Scarface’s tyrannical abuse.Several times later, he found himself attracted to her. Every night, he would ask for her instead of other women.Serena, who could not escape from him, gave in eventually. She even ended up becoming his lover.By doing so, she found someone t

“Just a little while ago.” Sean came closer. “Christina, we need to talk.”She nodded and followed him to the garden. He helped her to get comfortable on the bench. “Do you believe in fate?”She shook her head, unsure where this was leading. “I didn’t either as I’m a firm believer that hard work always pays off. But now I do.”He looked her in the eye. “I’ve been lost and struggled a lot since that incident, unsure how to face you. After considering this seriously for the past few days, I’ve finally mustered enough courage to meet you again.”A sigh escaped her lips. “Sorry, Sean. It’s all my fault.”“No! It has nothing to do with you, Christina. It’s my fault that my love is not strong enough. I discovered that Suzy is really great after spending the past few months with her. She’s just like you. She’s gentle, kind, pure, and adorable. I realized I’ve fallen in love with her.”This was not what he really thought.He loved Christina since the beginning of time and believed he

“That’s old history. We think Michael is actually pretty good.”“We? Who do you mean?” Christina teased.Ariel and Matthew had been spending a lot of time together lately. Christina went through that herself and understood the passion in her friend’s eyes. This silly girl was actually in love. She could not be happier for her.“Who else? Matthew, of course!” Ariel glared at Christina.“I say whatever’s on my mind, unlike you, who always keep everything to yourself and get stuck in dilemmas. Every good opportunity slips past you because of your indecisiveness!” “How can I not be? I promised to marry him but I’m now trying to convince him to marry someone else. Is this really the best thing for him? Will he be happy?”Ariel questioned after a brief silence, “Christina, let me ask you this. Who do you care for more? Michael or Sean?”Christina asked herself the same question too. She naturally cared more about Michael in the past, but she also started to develop a strong feeling f

The following morning, Serena hurried to the police station to file a report.The police treated this with high importance and warned her to be careful of Darren Cain as he was a vicious gang member who had served over a decade in prison.She became more frightened after hearing that. Immediately, she moved out of that house and rented a place somewhere quiet. As she was terrified, she stayed indoors for the next few days.Much of Christina’s stress was relieved without having to deal with Serena’s pestering.“Christina, John was at the last stage of cancer. It was lucky enough that he lasted until he did. This is his fate, so try not to get too upset.” Francis comforted the dispirited woman. It did not make any difference even though he was not the real Francis. He had long adapted to the identity after assuming it for so many years. Most importantly, Christina was still willing to treat him like a real uncle even after finding out the truth.“Don’t worry, Uncle, I’m fine.”

The harassment continued after the funeral. Serena went around spreading accusations and threatened Christina to give her money. Otherwise, she would report John to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for private corruption.If reported, the antique art collection would be seized and no one could get it!Christina became more frustrated after hearing that.She never expected John’s leniency toward Serena would cause her such a big problem. Matthew was infuriated by Serena’s unreasonable behavior. He suggested they could shut the woman up by teaching her a lesson. Sean shook his head. “That’s not going to solve the problem. Serena must’ve come prepared if she dares to stir up trouble. This is a lawful society. We can’t do as we wish.”“Are we actually going to pay her off then?” Ariel asked, “I think giving her money isn’t going to put an end to this. She’s certainly going to keep threatening for more!”Michael scoffed. “Why should we give her money? She can go

“I will, Dad, don’t worry. I’ll listen to Sister,” Suzy replied.“Christina.” John grabbed Christina’s hand in his own. “My greatest regret in this life is failing to take good care of you and your mother. I’m going to meet your mother soon. I hope she’ll forgive me!”Tears rolled down Christina’s cheeks. Men would speak kindly in the presence of death. She was unsure if Molly would forgive him, but she had long forgiven her father.He strained to pull Suzy and Christina’s hands closer together as he looked at them with pleading eyes. “The both of you must live peacefully together. Suzy, listen to your sister, and Christina, you must take good care of her on my behalf.”Christina looked at Suzy before nodding quietly. Then, John shifted his glance to Michael.“I’ve done many wrongs in this life. I betrayed my wife and disappointed my daughter. I hope you’ll do better than me. I’ll hand over Christina to you now. I’ll come back to haunt you as a stubborn ghost if you dare to wr

Suzy felt guilt-ridden and knew she was not in the position to demand anything from Christina. However, her mother had gone mad. She did not wish to see Christina continuing the fight with her mother.At a loss for what to do, she cried her heart out while in Christina’s arms.Sean felt a heavy feeling in his chest. He knew Christina too well after all the years they spent together. She was a soft-hearted person behind her stubborn facade. Seeing others in sorrow was her greatest weakness.There was no doubt she would choose to forgive Suzy and accept her as her sister.If that was the case, then the marriage between them was destined to fail. Christina would reject him for the sake of the child in her sister’s belly.At this moment, he was thinking of how everything was falling apart at this moment even after he had consistently pursued her all these years. He stood there in a daze for a long time before finally heaving a sigh.Perhaps this was their destiny. Suzy cried for a
