A Complicated Romance Chapter 340
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

“Christina, have you thought of any solutions?” “Did I say that I will help you to think of solutions? The truth was placed on the internet, and it doesn’t affect me at all. I can’t be bothered to help you. However, your illegitimate daughter did something so shameless. She deserves to get exposed.” “Then, you came here to…” “I’m here to tell you that staying in the Garcia residence has been quite uncomfortable for me. Furthermore, I have also affected you in a bad way. I think it isn’t a good idea for us to live together now that your reputation is ruined. I have decided to move out of the Garcia residence. We shall not interfere with each other’s affairs, just like how we used to do back then. It’s better for everyone this way.” John put on a solemn expression. “Christina, I have never thought of chasing you away.” “You didn’t chase me away. I’m the one who wants to move out. Anyways, I have already made my decision.” “No, you can’t!” John shouted. After that, he coughed

Matthew whispered in Christina’s ear, “Christina, it’s such a shame your sister isn’t an actress.” Christina smiled and replied, “Is this your first day knowing her?” Michael comforted Serena and saw Matthew whispering in Christina’s ear. The two of them seemed very happy as they were laughing. His face immediately turned sour. Matthew received a call. “Christina, I’ll come back and look for you in a while.” After the check-up, the doctor confirmed that John had a heart attack due to his anger. It was not a big problem. However, he needed to refrain from having any sudden mood swings and take some time to rest. Serena brought Michael into the hospital ward. Christina was left behind in the corridor as she did not enter the room. Matthew quickly returned after he finished the call. He muttered a few words to Christina. Christina’s facial expression changed. “Is that true?” “Would it be fake?” Matthew guaranteed as he patted his chest. At that moment, Michael walked outsi

“They don’t know! Christina, I didn’t tell anyone that I was acting sick. Even Sophia and Serena didn’t know about it. You’re the first one to find out!” He was indeed an old, sly fox. He would not allow any errors in his work. To put on a convincing act, he had even tricked his own family. Christina really did not know what to say. John knew that she would look down on his actions, but he had no other choice. “Christina, there are many things in the government that aren’t as simple as they may seem. I was forced to do these things all this while. However, please believe in me when I say that the only person that I will ever love is your mother.” Christina smiled coldly. “Mayor John, my mother passed away more than ten years ago. You’ve already married another woman too. Please refrain from saying these disgusting words ever again.” She ignored John’s facial expression. “I shall return since you aren’t sick. I’m sick too. As such, I can’t be bothered to act alongside you.”
A Complicated Romance Chapter 347
The issue had put Heather and Serena on the same side. Apart from that, it had also heightened the conflict between Christina and Heather. Heather would never allow Christina to return to the Larson residence no matter what. Michael would sympathize with Serena ever more because she was attacked. He would think of ways to make it up to her. If John thought that Christina was scheming against Serena and Sophia, her cruel image would be formed. When compared to Sophia’s leniency and tolerance, John would despise Christina even more. That was the most important thing. After analyzing the situation in detail, Serena would reap many benefits in reality. Even if she seemed to be the biggest victim on the surface. The only one who would not gain anything would be Christina. She would need to deal with the aftermath of this incident. Christina was shocked by Matthew’s analysis. “That can’t be. They would take such a big risk to deal with me?” Matthew laughed. “Ha-ha, I’m just guessin

Besides, even if the plan failed, intentionally causing a pregnant woman to miscarry was not considered homicide by the country’s criminal law.

“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.
