A Complicated Romance Chapter 555
Although Benedict was just a chauffeur, exposing the incident would definitely have a negative impact on John, who served as a mayor. Other people would have the impression that Benedict followed the example set by his superior.“The person who bailed him out, he drove your car and claimed that he’s your chauffeur. The squad was worried that it would have a negative impact on you, so they agreed to grant him bail.”After some thought, the commissioner decided to be completely frank with him. “To tell the truth, I saw a bunch of people mingling together promiscuously when he was arrested. Additionally, there were drugs found in the private room. You’d better be careful. Make sure you’re not dragged into the incident.”John’s face turned grim as it was the first time he heard about it. “Thank you for informing me. I’ll deal with it.”After John left the police station, his face remained grim throughout the journey. He could not let Benedict work for him anymore. When he reached home,

Sophia contained her anger as she could not vent it on Judy there and then. After all, Judy had done so much for her throughout these years and knew many of her secrets.If Sophia got on Judy’s nerves, Judy might expose all the dirt on her and leave her in a lurch. At that point, Sophia did not have millions of dollars either. She perfunctorily told Judy that she would try to borrow from a friend and see if her friend could lend her the money.Serena too lost her cool when she heard about it. “Is that old woman treating us like an ATM? It’s nonsense for her to say that it’s possible to earn ten million dollars in a year.” Sophia told Serena exactly what Judy said to her. However, when Serena heard the name of the nightclub, she instantly shifted her ground.“Mom, I went to that nightclub with Wendy last time. The business was booming. There were probably over one hundred thousand customers each night. For that nightclub, earning ten million dollars in a year is entirely possible

The joy only lasted for a week.

”President Larson, Doctor Harris is here to see Madam again. She insisted on entering the hospital ward, but we stopped her.” “Alright.” Michael’s eyes were cold. That Winona was not willing to give up. She would even dare to take action! Now, he finally understood the full story of this situation. Sophia schemed against his mother and shifted the blame to Christina so that Serena could marry into the Larson family. Judy only accepted Sophia’s bribe because she could gain something from Sophia. However, what about Winona? Why did she treat his mother like that? Michael could not think of an answer. Heather viewed Winona as her best friend. Whenever Heather acquired something good, she would always save a piece for Winona. She had even bared her soul to Winona. As such, Winona had no reason to hate his mother at all. Winona was a doctor, and she was not short of cash as well. She did not require Sophia’s help to achieve anything. Why would she willingly become Sophia’s acc

Michael could not find any information regarding the details. It had been such a long time since the incident. It was hard to confirm whether Winona had a child with Sophia’s cousin. However, according to the information that he had discovered, Sophia’s cousin had indeed clung to Winona every day. He had even stayed in her house overnight. Winona was a pretty lady. Logically speaking, she would never like a ruffian like him. However, the man who took care of her throughout the few months of her pregnancy was Sophia’s cousin. Eventually, Sophia’s cousin was later sent to prison as he committed a crime. There was another problem. Winona’s brother, Martin, was a world-renowned architect. When Winona was at the lowest point of her life, why did she not go to her brother for help? Why did she hide in Hoover Alley instead? As Michael thought of that, he was reminded of Francis’s past. The Francis that he knew now used to be Martin in the past. That was another mystery. Martin had b

”Christina still doesn’t know that I’m not her uncle, so I hope that you won’t tell Christina that I am Martin Harris. I don’t want to affect her emotions.” “Don’t worry. I won’t tell Christina.” Michael guaranteed. It was obvious that Martin was taking care of Christina. In Christina’s eyes, Martin was her uncle. Michael did not need to disrupt the harmony between them. “I still need to ask you about Winona’s past. You’re her brother, so you should understand her well, right? What kind of person do you think she is?” Martin remained silent for a while. Then, he replied with three words, “Selfish and evil.” “Christina should have told you about what happened to my mother, right? I suspect that my mother became like this because Winona plotted against her.” As Michael thought of his unconscious mother, who was still in the hospital, he felt extremely sad. He then told Martin about how Winona helped Sophia and Serena scheme against his mother and himself. “To speak the trut

Michael told Logan to settle this matter as soon as possible. After returning home, Martin was furious after his meetup with Michael. He knew that Winona was a bad person, but he did not expect that Winona would go this far. Martin was a kind person at heart. Even though Winona had done so many scornful things towards Molly in the past, Winona was still his sister, no matter what. He thought that he should give her another chance. He thought that Winona would repent after all these years. However, he did not expect that she would not change at all. Winona would even harm another human’s life to break Christina and Michael apart. Now, Martin finally realized that a leopard never changes its spots. His silence and tolerance would not result in Winona’s repentance. On the contrary, he was helping her to become more arrogant. Winona had always threatened to expose Francis’s true identity as Martin. Back then, he chose to be patient as he did not want to worry Christina. Martin al

After knowing that the two babies in Serena’s womb were boys, Michael felt overjoyed. He reminded the doctor to give Serena anti-abortifacient drugs. He also said that he will personally accompany Serena out of the hospital. “You need to be careful when you go out. Please don’t allow your children to get hurt. Plus, both of them are boys. That’s fantastic!” Serena was jubilant as well. Did that mean that Michael accepted the children in her womb? After thinking about it, Serena figured that was the case. The Larson family had had only one son per generation for several decades. As such, they would definitely favor the boys. That was why Heather cared for Travis that much. Now that she had two boys in her womb, it was natural that Michael would have a change of attitude. After leaving Michael, Serena quietly went back to the doctor to ask for confirmation. Did she really have two boys in her womb? “Miss Garcia, I can’t be too sure about that. However, your mother told me tha

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.”

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.
