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
Fred thought to himself, ‘Whether or not anyone chooses Christina is other people’s business. What has it got to do with you? How is she embarrassing you?’However, he could only carry those thoughts in his mind as he did not dare to voice them. “Yes, President Henderson, those people’s eyes must be smeared with crap. Christina is so beautiful, but none of them even noticed!”Matthew echoed the scolding before he suddenly realized something. “Fred, are you beating around the bush to scold me?”It did not feel strange when he was the one cursing, but when it came from another’s mouth, he heard it as unpleasant.“Of course not! President Henderson, what are you talking about?”“You must be scolding me! Hm, let me see. Christina was with me for three months before I discovered that she was a beauty. You must be insinuating that I’m blind and ignorant!” Matthew began to be unreasonable again.Fred complained bitterly, “President Henderson, that’s not true! Even if you beat me to deat
Christina did not dwell on Ariel’s words. The next morning, she entered the studio as usual and found that there was an additional empty chair in the male guests’ area.Although she did not watch TV, Christina knew how influential this program now was, so it was not strange that a male guest was suddenly added.The lights turned on, the music started, and the female host stepped on the catwalk to the front stage. Once she read the advertisement in her hand, she did some publicity for the program.“After just one episode, our program has already hit a new high in ratings. The waiting list for those signing up to participate has already grown to three months long.”Then, the host changed the topic and the spotlight fell on the empty male guest’s seat. “Everyone must be wondering why there is an additional empty seat here. It’s because we will be adding a new influential male guest!”The male guests who participated in the program were all selected after layers of evaluation. Accordi
