A Complicated Romance Chapter 539
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

“Yes,” the guard replied. “Doctor Harris was here.”“Doctor Harris said that she brought some beauty products for the Madam.” Judy pointed to the products where Winona had placed them in the living room.Michael took up the things, had a look, and placed it down. “When did Doctor Harris leave?”“Around noon,” Judy replied.Michael nodded his head and looked at the security guard. “Alright, now get me the surveillance tapes from the camera outside.”“The recordings aren’t complete today because we lost power for a few hours,” the guard answered.“A power outage? When did this happen?”“It stopped for around two hours after Doctor Harris had arrived,” the guard said. Michael’s forehead creased when he heard this. After all, he wanted to see what had happened during Winona’s visit, but how was he supposed to do that without the tapes?Wait a second. The security guard said that the power went out after Winona had arrived. Did that mean she had something to do with his mother’s a

“It really wasn’t me, Michael! Why won’t you believe me?” Christina tried to explain to him. “She was already on the floor when I arrived.”“Who would it be other than you?” Michael had an icy expression on his face as the rim of his eyes draped in coldness. “Are you saying that my mom would slap herself intentionally? Are you saying that’s how she fell and fainted?” It did not feel good to be accused of something she did not do, and honestly, Christina had not been expecting Heather’s apology a few days prior. Even the way Heather treated her had changed and Christina could see that she was sincere. Who knew that something so unfortunate like this would happen after that and dragged her along with it?“It wasn’t me! What must I do for you to believe in me?”“You prove that you had nothing to do with my mom’s injuries!”The bad thing was that everything was pointed towards Christina now. Since there were no surveillance tapes nor witnesses, how would Christina obtain the evidence

“Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down? My mom is already in this condition, yet Christina got away unscathed! As Heather’s son, am I supposed to just watch things happen?” Michael raged. “I will send that evil woman to jail!”“You shouldn’t treat Miss Williams that way. She’s pregnant!”“Yeah. Miss Williams is pregnant now, and we shouldn’t send her to the police station,” Judy added.“I don’t care, she’s obviously using my child as ransom right now! There are plenty of women out there who can give me a child. Why should I tie myself to this one? You’ve seen for yourself how vicious Christina is, Logan. How blind was I to keep this kind of person next to me?”Michael must have been entirely consumed by anger for him to say something like that.“Yes, I get it, but you have to think about the kids too. Travis is still sick, and Miss Williams is carrying another child. If she goes to jail, both the children will definitely be affected.”Logan was panicking. Would Michael really

“No, I think that Judy did it intentionally. She wanted Michael to suspect me.”Francis tried to console her. “Even though Michael had suspected you, he really is in a terrible situation right now and is easily misguided by others. Moreover, Judy had been indoctrinating the same thing to him, so we can’t blame him for losing his judgment. Things will be better when he calms down.”“I hope so. Anyway, I didn’t push Heather, so I’m not afraid of anything. I don’t care what he thinks.”On the other hand, Michael and Logan shared a car as they drove out from the Larson villa. Logan said worriedly, “I still don’t think Christina would do such a thing, President Larson. I think that you’ve got the wrong person.”“I didn’t think that she'd do something like that too,” Michael replied.“Then why were you so mad just now?” Logan was shocked by what he heard and glanced at Michael.“I was just putting up an act.” Michael gave a cold laugh as iciness flashed underneath his eyes.“For who?”

“Every single thing Judy said was directed at Christina, and it seemed that she wanted to mislead me into thinking that Christina had pushed my mom.”Judy did not see for herself what had happened, yet she was confident that Christina was behind this. Something seemed off, and the only explanation was that Judy wanted to cover up the truth by lying to Michael. Logan noticed that too, but he was still unsure of it. “Perhaps she was just guessing and merely told us her speculations. She probably didn’t have bad intentions toward Miss Williams.”It would be fine if Judy did not watch what she said if it had been a minor injury, but this incident could cost his mother’s life, and she knew perfectly the gravity of the issue. If she went on and defamed someone despite this, then something very wrong must have happened.“I initially thought that she had made such absurd remarks about Christina because she was worried about my mom. However, I noticed that my mom hasn’t been treating her w

“That would be fine. I’ve already hired two nurses to look after her in the hospital ward. They’ll be there day and night.” Michael was suspicious of Judy and would never let her go near his mother’s ward. “How is that okay? Outsiders don’t understand the Old Madam’s habits. I should go there. Since the Old Madam is hospitalized, I have nothing much to do at home too.”Judy was genuine in her words and pretended to be a loyal employee as she insisted on going to the hospital to take care of Heather.“I know that you mean well, but the doctor said that my mom’s in critical condition now. What she needs are professional nurses and not normal civilians like us.”He sighed and tiredness began to show on his face. “I’ve already taken care of things for my mom, so you really shouldn’t worry about it. Moreover, I usually stay at the company, and someone should look after my house. I think that you’re the perfect candidate.”It was obvious that he was bestowing onto her an important task

“I understand Michael’s pain. I was pissed back then too, but after giving it some thought, I realized that I’ll do just the same.”“Unbelievable. How are you still taking his side?” Ariel was disappointed in her friend. “I don’t even know how to talk you out of this. I can’t believe that you’re still talking good about him after Larson had treated you that way. Do you want him to bully you more?”“This isn’t a small issue. We’re talking about a life here.” Christina reminded Ariel. “Things won’t be such a big deal if Heather fell on her own, but I don’t think that’s the case here.”“Yeah, I think the same too,” Matthew interrupted. “I can’t be sure for the others, but I’ll never believe that Heather would do such a thing. She’d never place saffron in Christina’s soup.”“Perhaps that witch wanted to ruin Michael and Christina’s relationship completely.” Ariel still stood by what she said.“No way. Heather would never do anything to hurt her grandchildren. There’s no reason for her

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.

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.

“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
