“That seems unlikely. There’s no animosity between Judy and me so why would she want to harm me? Even if it was her doing, she would just be carrying out Heather’s order.”

Christina did not think she had offended the woman during her time in the Larson residence. However, Judy who had been working there for numerous years always listened obediently to Heather. She was not one to go against the latter’s instructions even if given the chance.

Francis considered this. “Well, try probing Judy and see what she says.”

“Alright, I’ll go question her right now.” Christina thought he had a point. Immediately, she replaced the lid of the insulated bottle and headed for the garden. He called out to her.

“Hang on, pour out some of the spinach soup as proof. Makes sure she sees the saffron too.”

She understood he worried that Heather would not own up to the fault. She poured some of the content into a bowl before heading to the garden.

Once Christina walked through the door, she noticed Judy

    “Maybe Madam mixed it up when she was fixing medicine for herself and accidentally dropped it into the spinach soup.”Christina was not foolish enough to believe this lousy excuse.“Stop defending her. You say she’s consuming saffron for medicinal purposes? Is she courting her own death? I’ve never heard of any woman over fifty consuming saffron!” Some younger women who had no intention of conceiving might consume saffron and other traditional herbs to recuperate their health but even so, no one would use a large amount like the entire saffron stem.Christina’s face fell. Judy kept quiet after realizing she was making matters worse.The car pulled to a halt at Larson residence. Christina was the first one to get out of the car. Judy followed suit and the two of them headed toward the villa right away.There was no one in the living room. Christina made a loud noise deliberately when she placed the insulated bottle on the table. “Where’s Heather? Come here right now!”Judy quick

    “I didn’t. Stop with the bullsh*t.” Christina was anxious and frustrated because she had never imagined that Judy would misunderstand her. Christina glanced at Heather, who had fainted, where she knew this was not the time to argue, and it was crucial to save her first.Christina needed Judy to help her flip Heather over just so that her head could lean on one side. Then, they took the blanket to cover her body to prevent the cold floor from amplifying her injuries.While she was doing this, Judy was shouting as she bolted down the stairs. She yelled, “Hurry up.”“Christina, are you looking for me, is there anything?” Michael’s voice was filled with joy because it was rare for Christina to call him, and that explained why he was happy.She bit her lips and answered, “Michael, I’m at your house. Your mom fainted. You need to hurry up and come back.”Michael swallowed nervously. “What did you say? What happened to my mother?”“I don’t know what happened to her. You should come back

    After the inspection, Heather suffered from severe brain injury. A hard object hit her head, or she fell which caused cerebral hemorrhage, needing to undergo an operation immediately.The doctors asked Michael to sign some consent forms in the office. Christina stood at the office’s door with butterflies in her stomach as she was worried about Heather.Soon, Heather was transferred to the operation room. Whereas Michael, Logan, Christina, and Judy were waiting in front of the operation room.Michael was busy signing the papers, so he did not have the time to ask how Heather got hurt. After he sat down and calmed himself, he looked at Christina and asked, “Christina, how did my mother get hurt?”Before Christina could open her mouth to answer him. Judy, who was sitting beside her, answered furiously, “President Larson, Christina pushed Old Madam.”Christina looked at Judy, shockingly. “Bullsh*t. I didn’t push her.”Michael frowned as he gazed at Judy and then Christina. “What happ

    There was something odd about this incident, but Michael could not care about those because Heather’s condition was more important to him.“Christina, you saw my mother once you reached my house? Is that right?”“Yes. Initially, I wanted to ask your mother to come down, but Judy said that she was napping. However, I don’t feel like it’s nap time now, so I went to her bedroom to find her, and I saw Heather was on the floor once I got in.”Michael kept quiet for a moment, then he asked Judy, “You said Christina pushed my mother, so that’s why she was injured. Did you see it with your own eyes?”“Although I didn’t see it, I know that Miss Williams went up there angrily. Later, Old Madam was on the floor, and there’s a red palm print on her face too. I felt like it must have been her who pushed Old Madam. Otherwise, who else?”Christina was irritated because she felt Judy blamed it on her purposely.“Bullsh*t! I immediately told you to call 000 once I saw her on the floor. When did I

    When Christina was about to explain. Judy, who was sitting on her right, muttered suddenly, “You talk like you really care about him. I bet you’re gloating inside.”Christina turned her head and uttered while staring at her, “What did you say?”“I said, I want to go to the washroom.” Judy pouted her lips as she stood up and took a turn to the washroom in the corridor.Judy let out a long sigh after she went into the washroom. She went to check every partition to make sure there was nobody in there. Judy then took out her phone from her pocket and dialed a number.After a while, the call went through.“Heather is still in surgery. The doctor said that even if she’s safe, he cannot guarantee that she won’t be in a coma. Now, Michael is starting to suspect Christina. Alright, call me if there’s anything.”After she hung up the phone, Judy lifted her head as she looked into the mirror to check her paled face because of her nervousness. She exhaled deeply, and the scene that happened

    “You’re getting out of control. Call the guards and chase her out of here!” Heather ordered Judy, but she did not move a muscle. Thus, Heather stared at her. “Didn’t you hear what I said? Are you turning against me?”“Why can’t I?” Judy sneered. “Heather, ever since I came to the Larson family. You always gave me an attitude, and you would yell at me if things didn’t go your way. I always wanted to ask you, what is your heart made of? How can you be so wicked?”Heather did not imagine the tolerant Judy would turn against her. Then, Heather turned to Winona, who kept her mouth shut.“Have you ever seen such an arrogant servant before? You won’t know your place if I don’t punish you today.” While Heather was cursing, she picked up the cup and threw it at Judy, but Judy dodged it.Judy pointed at Heather. “You old witch. You dare to be this fierce before you die! Do you think no one can punish you?” Judy raised her hand and slapped Heather while she was talking.For her whole life, H

    “I’ve already added the stuff in Christina’s spinach soup, and she’ll have a miscarriage in no time. By then, your other grandson will die since he would not have the cord blood too. I’ll make sure that the Larsons will have no heir if Michael doesn’t marry Serena!”“You… How can anyone be so evil?” Heather felt blood rush to her head, and she almost fainted on the spot. Since her legs had not healed, she could not even stand properly and struggled to lift herself from the wheelchair. It was obvious that she wanted to knock over the thermos in Judy’s hands.Unfortunately, Judy realized this immediately and gave Heather a shove. As the old woman lost her balance, she hit her head on the table and fainted.This took Judy by surprise, and she rushed over to take a look. “Thank God she’s still alive. She’s still breathing.”As the three of them placed Heather back into her wheelchair, they covered the bruise on her head and waited for the chauffeur, Mr. Wesley, in the living room.Aft

    If Christina had not been worried about Heather’s surgery, she would have left the place. Then, she would not even have to bear this humiliation and embarrassment.Ever since Christina had gotten pregnant, she grew tired very easily, and after standing for so long outside of the operating room, her legs began to give way as she struggled to stand.Logan noticed this. “You’re pregnant now, Miss Williams, so you should go home and rest. I’ll inform you if anything comes up.”Michael turned around and looked at her swollen belly. He looked conflicted with what he was about to say before he told her off again. “Get lost from this place. My mom wouldn’t want to see you either if she got out of the operating room.”Christina did not say anything. She knew how terrible Michael must have been then and decided to let things slide. Judy was the happiest person among them all. As she put up an act, she walked over to advise Christina. “Yeah, Miss Williams. Since things have turned out that

    Besides, even if the plan failed, intentionally causing a pregnant woman to miscarry was not considered homicide by the country’s criminal law.

    “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
