A Complicated Romance Chapter 308
It turned out that the reason Michael had not called Christina lately was because he had been busy with work.Seeing Christina’s figure, Suzy walked over with a smile on her face and greeted her warmly. “It’s been a while, Miss Williams.”“Indeed,” Chistina gave a dead reply.“I’m working as an intern in Michael’s company and I’ll be graduating soon,” Suzy said. She wanted to explain why she was constantly seen around Michael, yet her good faith turned sour as soon as her words reached Christina’s ears.A man who knew how to enjoy life, Michael placed his mistress next to him by employing her. This way, no one would suspect a thing even though the two were always next to one another. What a good way it was to hide their relationship.The hatred Christina stored toward Michael deepened at the thought of this.Christina looked around and noticed how everyone was trying to kiss Michael’s *ss. They all had smiles on their faces, and Christina could not help but lift the corner of her
A Complicated Romance Chapter 309
Larson was a man who liked his words coated with sugar. Since he liked that, Christina would never let him get what he wanted. Taking up her wine glass, she walked to Michael’s side. “I heard a lot about you, President Larson.”That was it?That was all!Michael slightly squinted his eyes at her. All the woman had done was to feast on the food as soon as she sat down, and it was only until now that Michael saw the despise lying underneath her eyes.He understood her very well and knew how she felt about the bootlickers sitting around her. A woman with pride, she had always looked down on those who flattered their way up the social ladder—especially those who did so over the dinner table.Giving a half-smile, Michael raised his wine glass and gave her a gentle reply, “You’re too polite, Miss Williams. I’ll drink up first, so it’s fine if you prefer not to.”It was a casual remark that took no significance, yet the listeners did not take it that way. The manager who had urged Chris

Seeing how Michael held Christina’s hand in his, everyone instantly understood what was going on. On top of that, he was not mad after what she had done. It seemed obvious that the man had fallen for Christina already.Christina had wanted to give Michael a hard time. She did not expect him to be such a beast as he held her hands in his without a single trace of shame.Seeing this, the people who were seated next to Michael instinctively stood up. As they offered their seats to her, Michael pulled Christina toward the empty seat next to him. “Everyone here knows that I can’t drink, but seeing how happy Miss Williams is made me change my mind. I’m going to break my rule this once.”Upon saying so, he lifted up the bottle of wine and filled up Christina’s glass. “Please, Miss Williams!”Lifting her glass up, Christina chugged down the glass of wine as Michael did the same. “You’ve got quite a high alcohol tolerance, Miss Williams. Come, let’s entangle our arms together for the next d

Michael flew into a fit and thought it was time he showed Christina what he was capable of. Grabbing her wrist, he stormed out the corridor with her struggling under his grasp. However, the difference in their strength was so huge that she found herself dragged into the elevator in no time.When Michael took his hand off her mouth, Christina glared at him. “What do you want, Michael?”“You’ll know what I want in a while.” Rage was plastered on his face and his cold gaze sent chills down Christina’s spine. She then glanced at the screen on the elevator and realized that they were heading upstairs instead of downwards.Her heart sank. Was Larson trying to take her to one of the hotel rooms?As the elevator came to a stop, Michael forcefully pulled her out of the elevator before he took a hotel room keycard out of his tuxedo’s pocket to open the door. On the other hand, Christina was still struggling. “I’m warning you, Larson! Don’t lay a finger on me!”“Weren’t you acting all arroga

Christina glared at him with eyes filled with hatred and mockery. It made Michael very uncomfortable that he slowly reminded her, “Don’t forget about the contract...”Christina put aside her attitude as she picked up a towel and walked over to his side. She then rubbed hard against his back and cursed silently in her heart. ‘Whatever. I’ll just pretend that I’m skinning a chicken.’She scrubbed so hard that Michael winced in pain; he could not take it anymore. The woman may have suffered a lot but she was much stronger now.“Lighter! Do you think you’re skinning a chicken?”Christina blurted, “So you know?”“You...” Michael pulled her into the bathtub and looked at her with a faint smile. “Let me serve you next.”“Thanks, President Larson, but I’m used to showering alone. I prefer not to trouble you at all.”“Oh?” Michael lifted his eyebrows. “Why don’t you want to?”“You’re the king, and I’m just nothing but your wh*re. As your mistress, how dare I ask you to serve me!”Her m

The emerald pendant looked so familiar to Suzy at first glance. In fact, it was almost identical to the one that she had kept with her.Astonishment flashed past Suzy’s face as she ran downstairs and drove back home. She did not even take her shoes off before she rushed into her bedroom, panting, and took out a box above her closet. Inside the box laid an old emerald pendant. When she placed her pendant next to Christina’s, she realized that the two were almost symmetrical.She was so mindblown that she blanked out. It was a long while before she came around. The pendant in the box was a gift from her adoptive parents who told her that it was the only thing her birth mother had left her and she could use this to find her relatives in the future. Why would Christina have the same pendant as hers? What does she have to do with Suzy’s mother?… Christina called a cab home as soon as she left the hotel. It was not until when she had arrived home did she realize that she had made t

“Michael, I...” Suzy stuttered, unsure if she should tell him the truth.Suzy had known Michael for so long but she had never talked to him about her background before. She knew it was too hard to look for her relatives with her own ability, so she decided to tell him about it. Perhaps she could use a helping hand too. When Suzy told him about the emerald pendant, Michael had the shock of his life and he instantly knew that this was definitely no coincidence.After all, he had only lent Suzy a hand because he saw Christina’s shadow in her eyes. He remembered how much she resembled Christina back then.Listening to Suzy’s story, Michael realized that his instincts were right all along. He must investigate this matter no matter what.As Christina made her way back to the Garcia household, she noticed that the entire villa was filled with the scent of medicine. It reminded her of the days where Heather had forced her to chug down bottles and bottles of medicine, so much that smellin

Christina opened the closet when she entered the bedroom, and just as she was about to place her clothes in it, the sight in front of her shocked her. Unknown to her, the closet had already been filled with pajamas and casual outfits that had teddy bear prints on them.Christina did not know how to react. Michael must be mad!She just made a corner for herself and hung her clothes before placing her toiletries in the washroom where she noticed a teddy bear cup near the sink. She was at a loss for words.Michael seemed to have developed a liking for teddy bears since the past three years. What a joke life was.Just as she was done unpacking her stuff, she heard noises coming from downstairs. It was still early, yet Michael had already returned. So she made her way out of the bedroom and walked into the living room. Michael seemed to be in a good mood but his facial expression changed the moment he saw the ugly Crocs on her feet. “Didn’t I get you slippers?”“I’m more comfortable

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.

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.

“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
