A Complicated Romance Chapter 269
Matthew was hugging Christina as he looked at Michael to taunt him. Michael may seem calm on the surface, but his heart could not wait to tear Matthew into pieces. A waiter brought some wine for them. Matthew then took a glass of wine. Just as Michael was about to take a glass of wine as well, the waiter suddenly tripped over. As such, the wine was spilled onto Michael and Serena’s bodies. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to…” Serena was in a mess after the wine was spilled on her. Michael’s shirt was also stained. However, they could not get mad in public out of concern for their reputation. Matthew had a feeling of schadenfreude. It was as if he had predicted everything. Young Master Hoover’s facial expression changed. He was afraid of offending Michael. As such, he quickly scolded the waiter, “What are you doing? Do you want to lose your job?” The hall’s manager rushed over and sincerely apologized to Michael, “President Larson, I apologize. I will deal with this issue strictly!”

“Matthew Henderson!” Michael glanced at Matthew fiercely. “Shut your trap!” Matthew quickly moved backward. “If you don’t want to drink, then don’t! Why are you getting angry?” Right at that moment, Christina came over. “Just now, the two of you were fine with each other. What is happening right now?” Matthew shrugged. “I was wishing President Larson a long-lasting marriage between him and his wife. Then, he suddenly turned against me!” “You definitely said something wrong. That’s why President Larson got upset.” Christina took the wine glass from Matthew’s hand. “Matthew is not that good with words. Please don’t be surprised, President Larson. Let me propose a toast to you as an apology. I wish you a long-lasting marriage between you and your wife!” Michael did not take the wine glass as he stared at her. Christina looked at him calmly. “President Larson, this is a toast to you.” He began to smile as he grabbed the wine glass from Christina’s hands. “Then, thank you so muc
A Complicated Romance Chapter 271
The only accident that happened was that Matthew suddenly had diarrhea. Other than that, everything else went according to plan. Christina took the room key and waited inside a room. She did not know what happened to Michael in the room next door. Was he messing around with the lady in bed right now? He drank a whole glass of drugged wine, so he definitely could not run away. She waited for half an hour, but Christina did not see any beautiful ladies coming to inform her about the results. She began to feel anxious. Christina lost her patience when it hit the one-hour mark. She opened the door and walked outside. As Michael’s room was next door, Christina put her ear on the door and tried to eavesdrop. However, she could not hear anything. Christina thought that the lady may have felt tired after messing around with Michael, so she might have accidentally slept as a result. That was why she forgot to inform Christina. When Christina used to be together with Michael, she would

“Miss Williams, can you explain why you are in my room?” Michael sat up as his handsome face seemed even more esteemed and domineering under the light. There were also multiple scratch marks on his exposed torso. Christina clenched her fists. She did not say anything for a long time before speaking a half-finished sentence. “You drank too much last night…” “Then?” Michael asked calmly. “I sent you to your room…” “After that?” After that…Christina could not continue weaving any more lies. She gritted her teeth. “I also don’t know what happened afterward.” “Since you don’t know, let me tell you about it.” Michael chuckled as he looked at Christina from his bed.“Yesterday, a naked lady told me that she could sleep with me when I entered my room. I rejected her. The lady told me that she could find a prettier lady to take care of me if I didn’t like her. Right after she exited the room, you came in. Christina, have you resorted to sleeping with other men?” Michael was smi

“Michael, you’re already engaged with Serena. Aren’t you afraid that I might tell Serena everything? Aren’t you afraid that I might ruin your wedding?” Christina was clinging to her last hope. “You won’t do that, you can’t afford to pay the price!” The man smiled gently, but his words were cold. Christina could see that the man was furious, judging from his facial expression. She did not know what he was thinking at that moment. She only knew that she had never truly understood that man. Michael glanced at her fiercely. Christina clenched her fists as she bit her lips until they began to bleed. The bloody scent started to spread in her mouth. Christina did not want to get any closer to that man. She was extremely reluctant to do that. However, fate loved to tease humans. Underground lovers, what an embarrassing phrase! However, that might just be an opportunity for Christina as well. She could get pregnant once she had physical contact with him. “Alright! I’ll sign the cont
A Complicated Romance Chapter 274
Christina would leave him as soon as possible when she got pregnant. That Larson bastard thought that he could restrain her with a contract. It was nothing more than a daydream! That Larson bastard could turn her plan against her, so Christina would do the same. It was still not time for her to admit defeat in this game. After Logan had sent Christina back home, he went to the hotel to fetch Michael. Michael saw Logan coming in, so he threw the camera into the trash can. “What did she say?” “She asked when we started to scheme against her.” Michael closed his eyes. She was surprisingly calm. He schemed against her, yet Christina still had the gall to ask this kind of question. Even though Michael was the winner, for now, he could not feel any happiness in his heart. If Michael was not careful tonight, what would have happened? He would always keep his guard up whenever he was around Matthew. The waiters at the party were all professionally trained. How could they commit such
A Complicated Romance Chapter 275
The rain continued to patter in the middle of the night. Serena could not fall asleep as she laid on her bed. She had completely embarrassed herself tonight. At first, she wanted Michael to send her back home. However, Michael remained at the party venue. Serene felt aggrieved, but she could not do anything. As such, she could only cry alone. She took a bath after she had reached home. Serena then put on her pajamas. She roamed around the living room for a long time as she waited for Christina to return. However, Christina did not return. Michael was looking weirdly at Christina at the party venue. Christina not returning home just made Serena feel even more anxious. It was two in the morning, yet Christina still had not returned. Serena could not wait any longer. As such, she called the butler in the Larson residence, “Has Michael returned home?” The butler was startled as he woke up in the middle of the night. “Miss Garcia, I’ll go and look for him right now.” After a few

Christina froze. Did that mean Serena knew what had happened the night before? How did she know? Did she put a tracker on Michael?The idea sounded absurd to Christina. She finished her bowl of soup when Miss Laura came and told her, “Miss, your neck…”Christina reached a hand out and touched her neck. A thought occurred to her, and she ran upstairs frantically. She saw two fresh hickeys on her neck in the mirror!Christina finally realized why Serena’s gaze toward her was that vicious. It was all that jerk’s fault!She knew every inch of her skin would be marred when she was taking a shower the night before. It was just that she never expected Michael would do that to her neck too!It was a blessing that she had not gone out yet. She found a scarf to put around her neck and checked herself in the mirror once more before heading out.She did not get far down the street when a black car pulled to a stop beside her. Logan lowered the car window and said, “Miss Williams, President L

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.

“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.
