A Complicated Romance Chapter 47
However, now was not the time to figure that out. The most important thing now was to think of a way to deal with the many reporters and media outside.“Christina, I know you don’t like to be surrounded by people, so I only arranged a small internal interview with a dozen reporters. The pay for this interview is very generous!”Christina hung her head. “Can I not go?”“Nope. The reporters have already been notified. You have to go!”“But…”“Don’t worry, you can just sit back. I’ll take care of everything else for you!”The interview was conducted in the studio of the TV station, and Ariel stayed with Christina the entire time. There was a host who was responsible for asking questions, and because questions were also censored, it did not touch anything regarding Christina’s privacy and secrets. The questions were mainly aimed at Christina’s criteria when choosing a significant other, as well as recent life changes.Christina wrote on her profile that she wanted her other half to

The matter of Matthew Henderson confessing to a woman in public on a TV program soon reached the ears of the patriarch of the Henderson family, who called to question him.“You little brat, I don’t care if you mess around with women, but don’t go overboard.”Matthew crossed his legs and drawled, “Grandpa, aren’t you tired from meddling in such trivial matters?”The Old Master grunted. “A rabbit doesn’t eat the grass by its own burrow. Brat, you should have a bottom line for everything.”“That’s because it’s not delicious. If it is, I believe any rabbit that would eat it!” Matthew retorted.Noticing that something was off, the Old Master’s voice became serious. “You’re not serious, are you? I’m telling you, our family will never accept a divorced single mother. This matter is non-negotiable!”As shameless as he was, Matthew asked casually, “You won’t accept the child even if it’s mine?”The Old Master paused and thought about it. His grandson had a notorious reputation and was a

Michael had not heard from Christina in the three years, but he knew that she must be living a very hard life.Back then, he had left her penniless and unable to find a job, thinking that when she was pushed to the brink, she would definitely turn around and beg for him.However, who would have thought that she would suddenly disappear from this city?Even if he cut off her wings, she was still too stubborn to look back and was determined to walk into the darkness alone.No! It was not that she did not look back, but she just did not look back at him.When the Young family did not allow her to be with Sean Young, Christina had kneeled in front of the Young family’s Madam and begged. However, Christina never showed the slightest concession in front of Michael’s mother, much less kneel down and beg.She could humble herself for Sean Young but refused to give in to Michael.It was said that the heart was made of flesh, but Christina’s was not. Her heart was hard as stone, and it co

It would be no laughing matter if those people started to crowdsource information about Christina!As soon as Christina’s identity as the mayor’s daughter is exposed, Sophia Kendrick’s identity as a mistress-turned-wife would also be exposed and Serena would also be labeled as an illegitimate daughter.Then there was also Christina and Michael’s divorce. If it was discovered that the reason for the divorce was that Serena was pregnant with Michael’s child, Serena would become the b*tch who seduced her brother-in-law, and her reputation would be completely ruined.If that happened, how would the mother and daughter continue to live in this city in the future? How would they be able to show themselves in public?The most serious matter was that John Garcia had an affair while still married and had a child with Sophia. Politicians were most afraid of stains on their name. If this matter came to light, John Garcia would be completely finished. The Garcia family would be ruined along wi

Serena’s heart grew excited. If this was done well, Christina would never be a threat again. No one would believe anything a down-and-out woman everyone pointed fingers at! Sophia Kendrick did not know much about the Internet, but she stopped worrying after seeing her daughter so confident and decided to give her full support. Serena contacted someone that night and paid a large sum of money to hire people to post attacks against Christina on various forums and websites, saying that her view of marriage was morally corrupt and outrageous! This concept of marriage was enough to show that she was a person without family values. She did not have filial piety and love. They also compared Christina to the BMW woman some years ago, saying that she was selfish and had no regard for others, and was challenging the moral bottom line of the nation. For a woman like that, even if her face was beautiful, it could not hide her malicious heart. The simpler the surface, the filthier the cor

Thinking about it now, Matthew still had not asked the name of that scumbag. He picked up Fred Nelson’s phone and dialed Ariel’s number again, but Ariel refused to say the man’s name and told him to ask Christina personally. Matthew was so angry that he smashed Fred’s phone as well. Fred looked crestfallen and opened his mouth, but did not dare to say anything in the end. Matthew stormed out the door and prepared to ask Christina for an explanation. However, halfway there, he told the driver to stop and yelled at him to go back to the company. He must not force Christina right now. He could not give her any additional pressure at this time. He could send someone to investigate the matter regarding that scumbag. Now, the most urgent thing was to clear Christina’s name. That day itself, posts defending Christina appeared on major forums. The posting wrote with emotion how Christina was abused by her evil mother-in-law and how her husband cheated on her and knocked up his mistre

Looking at the words that cursed her to go to hell after she died and that her son’s bloodline be cut off, Heather Sunderland was so angry that the veins on her forehead bulged out. She immediately called Michael Larson’s phone. “Michael, did you see how Christina Williams scolded us? Hurry up and think of a way to shut her up!” Michael had been on a business trip for the past two days and was busy developing a new project. He had just returned by plane today. Hearing how serious Heather was, he turned on the computer and took a look. The anger in his heart shot up! How could Christina distort the truth and attack them in such an extreme way? How could she do this? Michael’s rage rose. He grabbed his jacket and rushed out of the house. It was already very late, near midnight. Christina would normally be asleep by this time, but Matthew wanted to talk business with a customer today and insisted that she accompanied him. It was already midnight when they finished the meal

Michael covered Christina’s mouth and dragged her out. The alley was dark, but Michael had been here countless times and knew the place like the back of his hand. Christina continued to struggle. Her brain was still a little fuzzy under the influence of alcohol, but she knew what was happening now. She did not want to have any involvement with this man again. She kicked him and hit him, trying to get him to let her go. Michael almost let her run away several times and could only pick her up and stride out of the alley. He pulled open the car door and shoved her inside, and then squeezed himself in as well. Christina could not break free and glared at him resentfully. “Michael Larson, what are you doing?!” Michael’s expression was equally gloomy. “Why did you find someone to frame and discredit me?” Frame? Christina was baffled. “Are you sick?” When did she frame and discredit him? “You don’t admit it?” Michael stared into her eyes. “Don’t tell me that those rumors on th

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. Scarface was indeed a ruthless man. He came up with this vicious revenge that would put Christina in pain forever.Upon agreeing on the details of the plan, Scarface and his friends from the streets proceeded to kidnap Christina.

Serena lost everything. She had no choice but to work as a bargirl to survive.Scarface was the person in charge of the bar she worked at.

“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
