A Complicated Romance Chapter 336
“It’s Serena’s best friend Wendy. She had someone share the posts on the internet, and she was also the one who hired a group of internet ghostwriters to create such a mess. Those fake reporters who assaulted Assistant Williams are all her relatives.” Matthew glanced at Michael and sneered insinuatingly. “Wendy is just a pawn. Continue investigating. I won’t believe that no one is behind all of this!” Michael’s face took on a ghastly expression. Matthew could think of the things that Michael had in mind. The only connection between Wendy and Christina was Serena. Besides this, Wendy did not have any reason to go against Christina. As he was about to give Serena a call, a phone call came from her first. Her voice sounded anxious and she was almost in tears. “Michael, have you found my sister?” Michael replied with an “mmph”. “Michael, I kept calling you earlier, but you didn’t pick up. I was so anxious.” “What are you anxious about?” Michael asked in a cold voice. “Michael

“You’re the one that got Christina into this trouble, and yet you still have the nerve to keep staying here and giving her more trouble?” Matthew had an unfriendly expression, which looked like he wanted to pick a fight again. “If you’re not capable of protecting her, then stay away from her. She had already suffered so much because of you.” Michael’s face became sullen, a cold light from his dark and deep eyes flashed across Matthew’s face. Almost gritting his teeth, he started speaking, “Matthew, this whole thing is hard for me too! I’m not as shameless as you said!” “Really? I think you are! I think you’re the most shameless man on Earth!” Matthew was not polite at all when speaking. “I’ve seen men who cheated in their marriage, but you’re the first one to cheat with your wife’s most despised person!”“You said that you loved and protected her, and yet you hooked up with the daughter of her father’s mistress. If you had some sense of shame in you, you wouldn’t have forced Chris

“I think that the people who attacked Sister assumed that she is the mistress. After all, they don’t know my relationship with Sister. If we publicize the relationship between Sister and me, those people would know that you were interacting with Sister as relatives. Then, they won’t misunderstand Sister anymore.” “No!” Michael refused immediately. Indeed, publicizing Christina’s identity would clear up some problems, but there would be many downsides to it. John would be affected the most. If John’s political enemies used this opportunity to make a big fuss, then he could not be the mayor anymore. In addition to that, the police might even investigate him. Apart from that, Christina would be Michael’s sister-in-law if her identity was exposed. Even if he got together with Christina, many people would ridicule them. Some might even say that Christina snatched her sister’s husband and got promoted from being a mistress. That way, it would be even more impossible for Michael to ge

As for Serena, no matter how many times she had proclaimed her innocence, Michael would not believe that she had nothing to do with it. He would forgive her this time, but they would no longer have anything to do with one another. In the hospital, Ariel sighed. “Christina usually doesn’t offend anyone else, so why are there people scheming against her?” Matthew laughed coldly. “She stole someone else’s fiancé. Doesn’t that count as an offense?” Ariel immediately reacted. “Are you saying that Serena was the one who caused this incident?” “She is the one who can’t run!” There was a glint of fierceness in Matthew’s eyes. “Since she wanted to dig her own grave, she shouldn’t blame me for this!” Fred called Matthew. “President Henderson, Larson Corporation’s public relations team is trying to calm down the storm on the internet. Preliminary results have been achieved.” Matthew ordered, “Continue hiring cyber troopers to spread the smear campaign. The bigger the fuss, the better.

Michael brought some soup to the hospital, but he was stopped by Matthew. “President Larson, aren’t you embarrassed coming here again? Oh, you made soup? Did you make it yourself? What are you playing at? Are you asking for forgiveness from your ex-wife because it’s on your conscience? I’m afraid that you’re going to be disappointed. Christina just drank the soup that I bought for her. You should bring it back home!” “Get out of the way!” Michael put on a solemn expression. “Scram, Larson b*stard! Christina doesn’t need your insincere kindness!” Ariel also came out after hearing his voice. Michael would get a headache every time he saw Ariel. Ariel was a short-tempered girl who had a loud voice. Her curses were merciless as well. He could never win in a quarrel with her. Michael could not beat a lady as well. Ariel was his nemesis! Just as the two of them were in a stalemate, Serena also appeared while carrying a thermos bottle. Ariel could not help but laugh. “Birds of a feath

John went to the metropolitan area for a meeting. He then returned home with a solemn expression on his face. Sophia and Serena waited by his side carefully. Sophia was a knowledgeable woman. As such, she was able to appear calm and collected. On the other hand, Serena seemed to be a little timid as her fingers were fidgeting. It was clear that she had something on her mind. Sophia was afraid that she might let the cat out of the bag, so she told Serena to return to her room first. John sat on the sofa as he used his fingers to rub his eyebrows. “Did anything happen recently?” “Johnny, Christina…” “What happened to Christina?” John spoke in a serious tone in an instant. Sophia explained the incident involving Michael and Christina to John. Just as she finished speaking, Serena rushed downstairs and cried. “Mom, I don’t want to live anymore!” She quickly grabbed Serena’s arm. “What happened?” “Look!” Serena passed her phone to Sophia as she cried even more. “Sister, she…pu

Michael was known as a jerk, while Heather was also condemned. Her infamy was also spread across the internet. He did not mind it when others condemned him. The insults that were directed towards his mother were also within an acceptable range. However, the main target of the post was Serena. It was as if they were determined to ruin Serena’s reputation completely. Michael furrowed his eyebrows. Someone else did the deed before he could take action. The progression of events was way beyond his expectations. “President Larson, what should we do now?” Logan was getting anxious. Michael remained silent. He could not think of a solution at such short notice. However, this matter was way too serious. He could not allow things to go on like this. As such, he needed to take care of the matter as soon as possible. Ariel ran into the hospital ward excitedly. “Christina, thank the heavens! What goes around comes around!” Christina looked at the headline and put on a shocked expressio

“If it’s not you, then who would do it?” “How would I know?” John was out of the woods after receiving first-aid treatment. Serena and Sophia followed him as he was pushed outside of the emergency room. When Serena saw Christina, she was itching to rush forward and tear Christina apart. Sophia remained calm as she did not say anything. She then urged the nurses to quickly send John to his hospital ward so that he could rest. “Pops, I’m glad that you’re alright. I was almost scared to death!” Serena cried until her eyes began to swell. “Pops, what would Mother and I do if something happened to you?” “Don’t cry!” John’s face was a little pale as he looked at the hospital ward’s door. “Christina, come inside.” Christina hesitated for a while. She then slowly walked to the bed and spoke with a calm yet cold tone, “How are you feeling?” “You are still speaking with tongue in cheek!” Serena cut in. “Christina, all these things wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t seduce Michael

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
