“Matthew, you can’t bite the hand that feeds you. I’m warning you. Don’t push your luck!”“Christina, if you promise to be my girlfriend, then I won’t say a thing about it.”“Are you out of your mind, Matthew?”“Yes, Christina, I have lovesickness. It has gotten very critical and only you can save me.”Matthew beamed and changed the topic. “You know, I’m a blabbermouth. It will be hard to tell when I will spill your secret. However, if you become my girlfriend, that means your family scandal will be mine. Then, I’ll button up my lip and not a word about it will slip!”Christina was even more irritated by this rich brat’s half-hearted attitude, but chasing women was an exception. He would not stop until he reached his goal, and he was a hard nut to crack for girls!“Matthew, you only want me to become your girlfriend because you found out that I’m John’s daughter?”“No!” He declined instantly. “I’m obsessed with you, Christina. You know, I’m more vulnerable to prettier ladies.”
That night, Sophia immediately brewed John some tea when he returned home, while Serena stood beside the couch and gave him a massage.“Dad, what’s with the old town redevelopment project?”As John was preparing to have some tea, he stopped. “What’s the matter?”Sophia knew how impatient her daughter was, so she quickly explained on her behalf, “John, the Larson family has prepared for this project for a long time, but they did not get selected. They questioned Serena, and since she was anxious, she came to ask you about it.”John sneered as he put the cup down on the coffee table. “The Larsons asked you to give them reasons? Don’t they know that the project is handled personally by the city council himself? Why did they look for you but not the city council?”He had a bad impression of the Larsons, especially after his meeting with Christina. He felt quite annoyed when he heard their names, he did not care how harsh his words were.With such a harsh reply, Serena panicked and di
After the lecture, Serena went back to her room and started to cry. She felt wronged.“Mom, why is Christina the only one in dad’s heart even after she has left home for so many years? He never thinks of me, and now, how do you want me to explain to Aunty Heather?”“Are you that useless?” Sophia stared at her daughter. “What did I teach you? A woman needs to suffer for a little before she can be outstanding. You call that suffering?”“Mom, I don’t think dad treats us right. I just don’t understand why it is always about Christina!”“Serena, cancel your marriage with the Larsons if you can’t even take such a small hit. Even if you’re married to him, they will chase you out!” Sophia scolded in a stern voice.“Mom, you're not helping me?”“You know the Larsons were harsh to Christina. If you can’t stand your father’s words, then what are you going to do when you’re with them? Every one of them is like a devil.”“I…” Serena had nothing to say. After all, John’s scolding was nothing
That was the only possibility she could think about. Simply the thought that Christina was making money by taking care of an old man with a belly delighted Heather.‘Isn’t she stubborn? Wouldn’t she rather die than lowering her head? Now she knows life is hard once she leaves our family, right?’Just when she was having a good time, she saw a young, handsome guy walk in and sat opposite Christina.The joy in her heart instantly disappeared. She knew that guy; he was the Larsons’ competitor, Matthew Henderson.The Hendersons were not weaker than the Larsons, but Matthew… He was too foppish and a playboy too!Matthew must be one of her many sex partners, living her life by pleasing and begging him. Heather felt better as she thought of that.Michael happened to walk in at the same time. “Mom, is there anything?”Heather glanced in Christina’s direction, thinking that Michael must not know that Christina was here too.Michael followed her moving-gaze and realized Christina was sit
“Men will always find excuses for being a fickle lover. I’ve heard this excuse eight hundred times already.”“They’re finding excuses, but I’m honest!” Seeing that she did not believe in him, Matthew immediately stood up. “Christina, I swear!”His sudden reaction had made Michael’s fair face look even darker. Not able to put up with it anymore, Michael stood up too. “President Henderson, we meet again.”Matthew turned around. “Hey, you’re here too?”The Hendersons had kept in touch with the Larsons before they moved out of the country. Considering that Matthew had met Heather before when he was young, he took the initiative to greet her this time. “Hi, aunty.”She nodded with a smile, but her eyes were on Christina.Christina did not bat an eye at them as she slowly wiped her mouth with a napkin. Her carefree look had become cocky and arrogant in Heather’s eyes.Heather was a little confused. “Matthew, you and her…”Matthew waved at Christina. “Christina, come here. Let me intr
Matthew ran out of the café. “Christina, what’s the matter?”She pretended not to understand. “What?”“You were rude just now, and you embarrassed me.” He complained. “Michael saved you that night. Besides, his mother is your senior, you shouldn’t be so rude.”“She calls herself a senior?” Christina’s eyes flashed with hatred as she recalled the torture she suffered three years ago. “I hate people who take advantage of their seniority. As for Michael, do you think he genuinely wanted to save me?”Matthew then thought about Christina’s relationship with John. “Does Michael know that you’re John’s daughter?”“No!”“Why?”Matthew recalled the scenario that night. Michael’s posture was a little unusual when he was carrying her in his arms.“Christina, do you know Michael?”“I’d rather not!” She quickly answered before she zipped her mouth and closed her eyes to get some rest.Suddenly, a spark flashed through his mind as if he had gotten a clue but as he pondered, he realized tha
Christina would like to get Travis a father if there was a suitable opportunity, but she was worried that men were only attracted to her appearance. Thus, she did her makeup poorly and wore fake braces on purpose.Suppose someone was still willing to pick her, then not only must he be a loyal man, but must he really want to be with her too.“Serena, it doesn’t match. She’s not Christina.”“They look alike though. You can see it in her body figure, it seems identical.” Serena whispered, “Did Christina adopt a kid because she knows that she can’t give birth to a child?”“Just leave her alone. Even if it’s her, it doesn’t matter to us. Did you call Michael today?”“I’ve called him, but he’s in a bad mood. Mom, can you call Michael as well and have him come eat with us tonight?”Sophia knew very clearly what her daughter was thinking. “It’s useless for me to call him, you have to get your father to do it. Just wait for a moment, I’ll ask your father to call Michael.”“Alright. Thank
He was so disheartened here, yet that woman had gone to participate in a TV blind date program. She was clearly doing this on purpose to oppose him, to anger him to death!Matthew’s expression darkened, and without saying a word, he turned to leave. The old wooden flooring creaked under his forceful stomps.Francis closed the door, confused, once Matthew was a distance away. Though not long after, Matthew knocked on the door again and asked him which blind date program and which TV station Christina went to was.After getting the answers, he went downstairs once again with a dark expression.Back in the car, Matthew was furious. “That damn woman. How dare she go on a blind date behind my back. I’ll teach you a lesson!”His anger was not relieved even after cursing Christina, so he took out his phone and dialed his assistant, Fred’s number. “Do a check on the Blind Date Reality Show that the TV station is broadcasting.”Fred was stunned for a moment. “Young Master, why are you ask
