A Complicated Romance Chapter 523
“What? Did you say Bill was caught?”This took Winona by shock. She knew the entire development of Bill’s incident the last time. If John learned the truth from Bill and tracked it down to Sophia following the clues, then all of them would be in trouble.“John knows about the past?”“Not yet but his attitude has changed after seeing the man. Bill’s involved with Hoover Lane, hence John must be suspicious of me because of that.”Winona knew the seriousness of the matter. Christina had never been in contact with people from Hoover Lane thus it seemed unlikely that she would be involved with them. John must be able to guess that Bill and Ninth Brother were under someone else’s instruction.Fortunately, Bill did not know much of the details. He only carried out Ninth Brother’s orders as told and had no direct contact with Sophia. However, if John continued with the investigation, the truth might come to light soon.“Ninth Brother has already left the country. So even if John’s suspic

“Remind Judy to keep a close eye on the Larsons and report to you immediately if anything happens. We can’t afford another mistake this time.”“Don’t worry about that. I’ve got leverage on Judy so she’ll have to listen to me.”Just like the two of them discussed earlier, Heather did unexpectedly apologize in a low voice, which greatly shocked both Christina and Francis.There had not been much interaction between Francis and Heather. He did not have much contact with the members of Larson family even when Christina was married to them before. Even then, Heather’s overbearing arrogance had already left a huge expression in him. Why would a tricky and malicious woman like her start to see things properly all of a sudden?It was Christina who broke Heather’s leg hence the latter hated her to the core, always shouting about wanting to sue Christina and send her to jail. Why would Heather suddenly change her attitude? Not to mention she was willing to accept Christina, and she also re

Michael figured he had to take a different approach to the arrest of Ninth Brother, and that was when he thought of Matthew. The Henderson family had great connections with the police and gangs abroad. Seeking their help would definitely be more effective than depending on the police.He was thinking about this when Logan came to report that Matthew’s staff was also following Sophia. It seemed that Matthew had also figured that something was wrong.Logan’s words implicitly implied that it was better to squash enmity rather than keeping it alive. Michael and Matthew did not have any discord between them to begin with. They only ended up in this awkward situation because of Christina.Since Christina’s happiness was their common goal, it would make things easier if they made peace with each other.Michael and Matthew were both proud and arrogant. In the past, it would be impossible for either of them to take a step back and initiate reconciliation. However, the situation was differ

There was no need to conceal this matter from Matthew. “This person is Bill Hunt’s superior. He’s the person behind the scheme against Christina.” “Oh?” Matthew was surprised.“This person has no past grudges with Christina, so he must’ve done so at someone else’s order.”Matthew understood what he meant. “Don't worry, you can leave this to me. However, allow me to ask one more question. President Larson, you probably already know who is behind the scheme. All you need is evidence, right?”Michael smiled. “Sophia and Serena are the masterminds. I’ve been keeping a close watch on them but they are very careful. I can only find evidence from other places.”“I figure it’s them too.” Matthew asked, “Why don’t you tell John of your suspicion and let him take care of the two women?”“I don’t trust him,” Michael expressed his thoughts bluntly. “He came to me last time but I didn't tell him anything.”Matthew did not understand. “Why can't you trust him? Are you afraid he is not sincer

Heather was genuinely remorseful and eager to compensate Christina. She felt that she ought to show her consideration now that the latter was expecting. Therefore, she bought a lot of baby clothes, toys, and maternity supplies and delivered them to Christina. The woman behaved as politely as the last time. Travis thought better of her after seeing the friendly smile on her face, not to mention the plenty of presents that she had brought along too. He did not run away this time when she showed up. Instead, he stayed by Christina’s side as the two women spoke.Heather was liking the adorable boy more and more. Though because of his health condition, Travis was not as chubby as peers his age but he looked frail and pale instead. Heather felt sorry for her grandson. It was all her fault. If she had not treated Christina poorly in the past, the latter would not have to suffer and the boy might not be born with this sickness.She yearned to hug her grandson close and shower him with kiss

“How do you know?”“Because I received them too. I wonder if Aunty Heather treats us with equal kindness?” Serena said.She mentioned a list of maternity supplies, and Christina realized that they were exactly the same things that she had received too.Serena was smug. “Aunty Heather asked me to not worry as she had bought you more toys because of Travis. Why would I? We’re sisters and we’re not as calculative.”“Shameless!” Christina was furious.“Why are you getting upset?” Serena smirked.“Aunty Heather said she would bring over some top-grade spinach soup tomorrow to nourish my body so I could give her two chubby grandchildren. She mentioned you’re included too. Well, why would she treat both of us with so much kindness? Is it possible she wants the both of us to be her daughter-in-law?”“Shut your stinky mouth!”“I want to remind you to stop daydreaming about starting over with Michael. I’ve always been Aunty Heather’s favorite. She’s never going to accept you into the fam

Heather had just grabbed the bottle of spinach soup when Winona showed up at her house. She had to stop what she was doing to chat with the visitor for a while.Judy reminded her on the side that she should hurry up and deliver the spinach soup. It was best to consume the drink lukewarm or the taste would deteriorate once it cooled down.Heather could not leave the house since she had a visitor. Anxious, she then handed the insulated bottle over to Judy and instructed the latter to send it to Christina.Christina was playing blocks with Travis in the living room when the doorbell rang. It was Judy on the other side of the door, holding an insulated bottle.Judy, Heather’s lackey, treated her terribly whilst she was still living in the Larson residence, so she did not show the unwelcome visitor any politeness. “What are you doing here?”Strangely, just like Heather, Judy treated Christina with unusual kindness. She handed over the insulated bottle with a smile. “Madam instructed me

Christina turned around and walked back into the house.Francis saw the bottle she was holding. “What is this? Where did it come from?”“Heather ordered Judy to send me creamy spinach soup to supplement my body.” She placed it on the table without the intention to consume it.This took him by surprise. “Did she really? How would Serena have guessed it? Is there really something wrong with it?”She stole a quick glance at Travis who was playing on the side and gestured Francis to follow her into the kitchen. Then, she told him about Judy’s peculiar behavior from earlier.His face fell. “Something must be up. You mustn’t eat it.”“Don’t worry, I won’t.” She opened the lid of the bottle as she spoke. However, a strange expression washed over her face as soon as she saw the content.The insulated bottle was filled with spinach soup that looked orangey red in color and had a nice smell. It looked different from the creamy spinach soup she had eaten before.“Eh, why does it look so r

In fact, Matthew was the one who planned this entire thing. He had been keeping a close eye on Rachel since she returned.He could let bygones be bygones if she was willing to settle down. However, the woman did not learn from past mistakes and once again partnered up with Serena to plot against Christina.Matthew went along with their plan. He even found someone to set this up to lure them into the trap.Christina’s due date was approaching after Rachel and Serena were taken care of.

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. The latter’s belly was round, and both of her hands were

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. He ordered his men to drag her into the private room and tortured her the entire night.She resisted in the beginning. However, without anyone to depend on, she had no choice but to give into Scarface’s tyrannical abuse.Several times later, he found himself attracted to her. 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
