“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
Christina was shocked to receive a call from Heather who asked her out. She had a gut feeling that nothing good would come out of it, and therefore rejected the old witch outright.With great determination, Heather then went to Christina’s workplace. Having failed to shun Heather, Christina had no choice but to agree to meet her.In the cafe, Heather showed an embarrassed smile. “Christina, the reason why I came looking for you is to clear things up with you.”“Old Madam Larson, we have nothing to do with each other. I don’t think there’s anything we need to discuss.”Heather looked annoyed. “Admittedly, I forced Michael and you to divorce back then. You can choose to hate me, but I hope you won’t hate Michael.”After hearing the corny remark, Christina stood up and was about to leave. “Sorry, I’m too busy to chatter with you. I don’t want to see any of you from the Larson family. I hope you won’t appear in front of me anymore.” Seeing her leave, Heather began to feel anxious. “
