“What do you plan to do, President Larson?” “Tell Old Master Henderson that his beloved grandson is back with Christina again!”Matthew was looking for an architect on a large scale. On the other hand, Michael was not idle either. While Matthew went to other cities to meet architects, Michael had already hired Wilson Halter, a well-known local architect.Wilson Halter had designed sports arenas for many sports events. With him in the project, the chance of winning would be much higher. Of course, Michael knew everything that Matthew had information about. He would not give up finding Martin Harris. It was better to have two strings to his bow just in case of emergency so that he could secure an unassailable position. Hearing that Michael had hired Wilson Halter, Matthew was not very surprised by it. Wilson and Michael had a good relationship, it was normal for Michael to recruit him as his architect. Christina was worried when she heard this news. “What should we do? Wilson Hal

“Christina, you have to take a break. Don’t wear yourself out.” Christina knew that John was afraid she would feel uncomfortable after hearing Sophia’s words, so he changed the subject. She did not accept it. “Heather and Miss Garcia are as close as a mother and daughter, are you envious of them?” Sophia smiled awkwardly. “I’m more than happy that the Larsons treat Serena well, why should I be angry?”“I’ve lived with the Larsons. I knew that Heather is a noble woman on the surface, but a shrew behind the scenes. She’s vicious and cunning when it comes to treating people. How great it is that Miss Garcia is close with Heather like mother and daughter. People who think alike tend to bond well. Hope you’ll always be so harmonious with each other.” Christina was being honest. She knew Heather very well, and she was also clear about the plans in Sophia and Serena’s hearts. Even if they got bullied by Heather, they would present a false sense of peace, leaving no trace on the surface

Christina raised her head with a faint smile. “Thank you, Mayor John!”Seeing that she was always exhibiting this kind of detached attitude, John left the room and went downstairs with a gloomy expression. Sophia came over and handed him a bank card.“Johnny, life must be difficult for Christina. I have some personal savings to spare, you help me hand this to her.” John hesitated for a moment then shook his head. “No need. You don’t have much in your personal savings either, keep it for Serena. I’ll think of ways to help Christina out.” Sophia was just acting anyway and did not have the intention of giving her money. John declining her was just what she wanted. Watching John entering his study room, she turned around and went into Serena’s room. As soon as she saw Sophia, Serena started complaining, “Mom, that witch is way too vicious. She came back to make us unhappy. I can’t stand it anymore. You should think of a way to kick her out!”“What can I do?” Sophia asked. She woul

Whatever they had planned had nothing to do with her. Her kid would not have the slightest involvement with these people. “Christina, you really do have a kid?” The shock in John’s heart intensified. “When did you get married? Who’s the kid’s father? Why didn’t you bring your kid back this time?” “My child’s father is dead. As for whether I’ll bring my kid back or not, do you think my son would be willing to live in this kind of household, Mayor John?” “Christina, I’m the child’s grandfather after all. Why have you never told me about your child?” Christina sneered as she had never intended to acknowledge John as her father, nor had she planned to let Travis know of his grandfather’s existence. “That’s my child, why should I tell you?” “Christina, you…”“It’s getting late now, and I need to rest. You can leave now, Mayor John.”John let out a heavy sigh as he saw the door closing right in front of him. He turned around to go downstairs as Sophia came forward and approache

“I know very well what kind of person you are!”John stared at the woman in front of him. Back then, Winona exhausted all methods to deal with Molly. It was obvious how calculating and manipulative she was, so misdiagnosis was something she could totally carry out. “Go ahead and check it! Come and convict me after your investigation!” Winona was not the least bit afraid. “She couldn’t have children for years when she was married to the Larsons, was it all my fault? Just because she had a child later on, you’re putting the blame on me now?” Winona also knew John very well, she knew that he would definitely investigate the matter from last year. “You only think of questioning me, why don’t you think that I was the one that helped cure her illness? “You?” John showed disdain on his face. “You would be so kind?” “I prescribed so many medications for her. Perhaps one of the prescriptions I gave her was right, and her illness was cured. You should thank me instead.” Winona defended
A Complicated Romance Chapter 264
After releasing all the anger from deep within, Winona put on a smile and went to Henry’s room. She knocked on the door and went in. It was quiet with only some rustling sounds, Henry was painting at his desk right then. There were already many portraits on his desk, all of which were portraits of Molly, her smile as bright as sunshine in the spring. The floor was filled with all types of woods, which were carved with Molly’s look. There were a multitude of postures, including seated and standing ones as well as angry and charming ones. Every time Henry recalled one of Molly’s smiles or gestures, he would draw it out and carve it on a block of wood. He said he never wanted to forget her, every word and smile of hers. Several rooms at home were already filled with Molly’s sculptures and portraits. Winona suppressed the tumbling sensation in her heart and walked to Henry’s side, standing still. “Henry, I have something to tell you.” “I’m swamped, we’ll talk about it tomorrow

The main thing was, this matter was caused by Christina, so she did not want her uncle to get involved. “Don’t worry. I’m not someone who can be bullied by anybody.” Francis smiled faintly, handing a napkin to the old master, motioning him to wipe the tea on him.The old master finally regained his senses, with some uncertainty showing through his expression. His voice was no longer as domineering as earlier. “Miss Williams, you can go back first. I have some things to discuss with your uncle.” Seeing Christina not leaving, he raised his voice while ordering his bodyguards, “Send Miss Williams home!” At that moment, the door was opened. Matthew barged in hurriedly. “Grandpa, this has nothing to do with Christina. Just come for me if there’s anything, please don’t place her in a difficult position!” “Matthew, you came at the right time. You bring Miss Williams out first, I have something to talk to Mr. Williams.” “But…”“Don’t worry. Grandpa isn’t a tiger.” “That’s right.

“However, the truth will come to light one day. We can’t hide it from Matthew forever.” The old master still thought that it was inappropriate. “I also know the underlying risks, but Matthew has been playing around for so many years. It’s the first time he’s met someone who could capture his heart. Old Master, do you really have the heart to allow your grandson to feel sad?” Francis laughed. “In the eyes of a love-struck person, love can overcome everything. It’s the same thing for Henry and me. Even if we know that Molly has passed away, we are still willing to wait a lifetime for her. We would never turn back even if we hit a dead end. Do you want Matthew to be lonely for the rest of his life? Do you want him to turn out like me?” He could see that even though Matthew was a tramp, he was a man who would stay loyal to his lover. “Matthew doesn’t know that Henry abandoned his wife and son for Molly. Matthew still thinks that Winona was the one who ruined his parents’ relationsh

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.

“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

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
