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.”
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
Heather was infuriated. She was once Christina’s mother-in-law after all. Although she had been mean to Christina in the past, she also spent years searching for doctors to cure the latter’s health condition. How cruel that woman was to forget everything in the past!Christina did not wake up until the following noon. She was exhausted the night before and decided to turn off her cell phone. After a quick lunch, she fell back to sleep again and only woke up at night.Francis went to get her in the bedroom when dinner was ready. She rubbed her eyes lazily. Finally, she felt rejuvenated again after a long rest.He prepared many of her favorite dishes. She devoured the food in no time. He heard the doorbell ringing after placing the last dish on the table.It was Ariel. He set another place at the table and invited her to join them for dinner.She accepted the invitation and sat at the table. “Christina, you turned off your phone so I came looking for you here.“I was knackered an
Serena was gentle, considerate, and kind. She agreed to be Michael’s pretend girlfriend to deceive Heather.This pretense went on for three years. The relationship between them was fake, even the engagement was a trick to confuse Heather.In short, the truth was Serena was not the third party but an innocent shield. To reunite Michael and Christina, she was willing to sacrifice three years of her youth without complaint.Michael only stepped forward to explain the situation because Serena suddenly became the scapegoat. He hoped people would stop scolding her. She was a kind person that did not deserve these reproaches. He shouldered all the responsibilities that came out of his decision to reunite with the love of his life. He solemnly apologized to Serena for all the pain he caused her. Besides, Michael mentioned that this experience taught him to not hesitate when it came to love, more importantly not to hurt the innocent because of his inability to make decisions. He hated hi
