A Complicated Romance Chapter 491
“No rush. We should wait and see how things go. I’ve sent my people to watch Sophia and her daughter. I’ll be notified as soon as there’s news.”Matthew could teach them a lesson as soon as he acquired any leverage.Ariel then hung up the call. She did not manage to drive far before someone got in her way. She recognized the person instantly from what she had heard previously from Matthew and Christina. “Miss Young, how can I help?”Matthew was not bothered about this fiancée of his. Ariel did not have a good impression of her as well.“I want to have a chat with you, of course.” Rachel looked at Ariel arrogantly, her gaze filled with disdain.She received news that Christina was not the only one staying in Matthew’s house. This woman named Ariel also spent a lot of time there too.She needed to ensure Ariel knew she could not afford to offend her. “Miss Young, we don’t know each other at all and there’s nothing much we can talk about. Please move out of my way. I’m on the wa

“What do you mean? I was so terrified that tears rolled down my cheeks right away. That’s why I called immediately.”“Tsk! That’s not you at all.”“Haha, you don’t believe that? I don’t think I’m the type who cries out loud when being intimidated. I told her that I love how handsome and rich you are and she shook with anger. She’s probably terrified of my intrepid personality.”Matthew frowned after hanging up the call. Rachel really could not change her old habits. It appeared she should not be allowed to stir up trouble again. She needed to go back to where she came from.After a brief consideration, he rang Sean and told him about the things Rachel did over here. He asked Sean to get Rachel as soon as possible.Furious, Sean informed Old Madam Young about this immediately. The latter knew her granddaughter was a troublemaker, but she did not expect her to spiral out of control like that. She rang the young woman and demanded her to come home instantly.Rachel dared not go agai

Serena got pregnant not long ago, so Heather would never say anything about it. Michael should be living in the dark, so how did he know that he was fooled?Knowing Heather would not admit her wrongdoings so easily, he asked, “Let me ask you this. Why does Serena have my babies?”Heather was stunned because her son had noticed it. Without hesitation, Heather uttered, “Michael, the last time you were drunk, you and Serena…”“Are you still trying to lie to me until now?” Michael was utterly disappointed in Heather. “You and Winona were there that night. Both of you got her into my room. Do you still want to hide the truth from me?”“I…” Heather knew that she could not deny it any longer. “That’s because you only wanted to be with Christina, so I had to come up with a plan B.”“It’s because you don’t like Christina, so you want to ruin my happiness and are even willing to combine forces with an outsider to trick me?”Perhaps Heather was the only such selfish mother on earth.“You n

Serena was getting more and more terrified. She could not just wait like this, so she decided to meet up with Christina.After the medical check-up, Christina was walking down the stairs with Travis when suddenly, she heard someone calling out to her from beside her.Christina turned around to realize it was Serena. She was fully covered from head to toe and had on a pair of sunglasses. It appeared as if she had been waiting for Christina.She glanced at Serena angrily. “Miss Garcia, why are you stopping me?”“I need to talk to you.” Serena was being sneaky.“I’m not free.” Christina readily rejected her.“Christina, I’m pregnant! I beg you to help me! I’m out of options!” Serena cried for help with a soft tone.Christina was disgusted upon looking at Serena’s face. “What does it have to do with me? Miss Garcia, aren’t you begging the wrong person?”“Sister, I know that you won’t believe me, but I was framed this time. It’s Suzy. She’s too wicked.” Serena took out a report. “I

Christina was irritated, so she slapped Serena. Slap!Serena covered her face defenselessly as she stared at Christina’s stomach mercilessly. She provoked Christina to make the first move, so that later, Serena could push her without anybody knowing that she did it on purpose.“Do you know why your son is diagnosed with such disease at a young age? It’s karma! God is punishing you because you’re sinful!”“B*tch, you dare screw with us here?!” A voice from behind Christina sounded. It was Ariel.Ariel just came back after she went out to buy some fruits. When she saw Serena cursing Christina, she could not hold it back anymore. Hence, she dashed toward Serena and slapped her.“B*tch, I haven’t gotten the chance to take my revenge on you, but you came right to me!”Serena was caught unprepared and took a few steps back. She was about to fall.Ariel was bad-tempered. Plus, Serena was pregnant, so she had no chance of fighting back.She was champing with anger because she never i

Serena had a check-up at the hospital and it turned out that she was fine, just a little emotional. Besides, the babies seemed to be slightly hurt, so Serena needed to rest for quite some time.Sophia rushed to the hospital, still terrified when she thought about it. “Are you out of your mind? Why do you still dare to meet with Christina at this point?”“She didn’t have any reaction, so I wanted to annoy her. Who knew that the b*tch, Ariel, was there too!” With her swollen face, it was painful for her to even open her mouth to speak. “I’ll make Ariel pay for this!”“You don’t need to interfere in this matter. I’ll get someone to seek revenge on Ariel.” Sophia looked at Serena, and although she was furious, she felt helpless. “Please don’t do anything reckless. It’s of utmost importance for you to take good care of your babies.”“Mom, everything would be settled if you just hired some men to secretly kill Ariel and Christina.”“No, Christina is untouchable now. It’s going to be mes

“Christina has always been this cold-blooded. Did you just realize it?” Sophia smirked. “Back then when she was just a small kid, she dared to run away from home just to force us to leave.” “I would love to see who’s more cold-blooded!” Winona left furiously.Winona always viewed Serena as her daughter, and now, she was heartbroken to see her daughter hurt.As her face was swollen, Serena was admitted into the hospital to slowly recover. Coincidently, Logan was there to investigate her pregnancy too.Previously, Logan did not focus on her menstruation. Now, after Logan questioned her doctor, it was confirmed that one of Serena’s check-ups needed to be done during her period.Since Serena was on her period, then it proved that the possibility of Serena having sex with Michael was zero.Now, the main thing Michael needed to know was the real reason why Serena got pregnant.Serena did not get pregnant naturally. Thus, she must have stolen his sperm and undergone artificial fertili

John called Christina when they were conversing. He said he wanted to meet with Christina and he would wait for her at the café outside the villa.“That b*tch must have complained about you, so your mayor daddy is coming here to accuse you.” Ariel guessed.“So what? I really want to see what he’s planning to do.” A little frustrated, Christina went to meet John.When John saw Christina, he laughed delightfully as he took out a key from his pocket and handed it to her. “I got something for you.”“What’s this?” Christina did not take the key.“It’s the key for the safe box in the bank. There are some jewelry and gold bars in it. I’ll leave those to you today,” John replied to her.“Why do you want to give those to me?” Christina thought John came to accuse her, but she never imagined that he would hand her his assets at this time. However, why now? John had come to meet her several times before, so why did he not pass these things to her during those times?“Christina, I want to a

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. Rachel and Serena were told to sit tight and wait for the good news.Scarface had a well-thought-out plan and got his hands on Christina before long. Her head was covered with a black cloth as they forcefully pushed her into the van.Serena and Rachel were already at the agreed-upon location when Scarface instructed Christina to step out of the vehicle.

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. The ruthless man had pretty much slept with every woman who worked at his place. Naturally, Serena could not escape from that fate either.Serena was different from other bargirls. She came from a prestigious family and was highly educated. Even in dire straits, she still maintained a certain grace that made her stand out from the crowd.Scarface spotted her on her first day at the bar.

Every night, he would ask for her instead of other women.Serena, who could not escape from him, gave in eventually. She even ended up becoming his lover.By doing so, she found someone t

“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

Suzy felt guilt-ridden and knew she was not in the position to demand anything from Christina. However, her mother had gone mad. 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
