A Complicated Romance Chapter 568
Martin liked Molly, her mother. Christina was stunned. One was her uncle, and the other was her mother. How was this possible? Even though there was no kinship between the two of them, and even though they were just siblings in name, they were still in a sister-brother relationship after all, hence they should still care about their reputation. “Christina, your mom didn’t know my interest in her back then. So this entire thing was all my wishful thinking and had nothing to do with her. I hope your impression of your mother doesn’t become negative because of me. If there’s resentment in your heart, do hold it against me.” This was totally beyond Christina’s imagination. She froze for a while before she could finally respond and reveal a somewhat stiff smile. “Uncle, I… I need some quiet time, so I’ll go back to my room first.” Christina returned to her room and did not come out for a long time. When Francis called her during mealtime, he thought it was abnormal that there was no

Winona gave Christina a call right after seeing Francis, so it was definitely not something pleasant. Christina was pregnant and safety came first to her. It was impossible for her to meet a person who posed such danger to her. She replied in a flat tone, “I don’t have time to meet you. Just talk on the phone if you have anything to tell me.” “It’s not convenient on the phone. How about we talk in person?” “I already told you I’m not free!” Christina stressed her tone. She did not want to trifle with a person like Winona. “I’m going to hang up now if you’re not going to say it on the phone.”“Alright, if that’s what you wish, I’ll tell you then. Francis isn’t your biological uncle…”“Doctor Harris, you’re late. I already knew that.” Christina interrupted Winona. This woman was truly dodgy. Luckily, Francis told her prior to that, otherwise, she would be stunned by what Winona said. Winona was stupefied for a bit, she did not expect Francis to reveal his identity to Christina

Francis and Ariel had no other choices so they nodded. Matthew stepped back and charged forward to slam open the door. When the door was open, they saw Christina sitting on the bed with her hands over her head. Christina was not in danger, and the three of them heaved a sigh of relief. Christina was shocked when the door suddenly opened. She stared at the three of them by the door with wide eyes and a look of astonishment on her face.Ariel closed the door and walked to her side. “Christina, you scared us to death!”Christina showed a wry smile and asked, “Why did you come back?”“Uncle called us to come back. What happened?” Ariel sat down by Christina’s side, watching her with concern. Christina did not know how to tell Ariel about this entire thing. She twiddled her fingers in silence. Ariel did not press her further. As her gaze landed on the disintegrated phone, Ariel walked over to pick up the phone. “Who called you earlier?” “Winona.”“It’s her?” Ariel was taken abac

“Christina, don’t overthink too much. They must be innocent. How could you believe in that wicked woman’s words?”Christina knew all of this, and she was aware that Winona wanted to get her worked up. However, when the impression of her mom in her mind was shattered and no longer perfect, she felt terribly hurt deep inside. Ever since leaving the Garcias in her teens, John’s image in her heart had already been ruined. She was ashamed to have a father like this. Hence, she was unwilling to see her mother’s image gradually changing for the worse like this.“Christina, you have to believe in your own judgment. Don’t fall for the mischief of those bad people,” Ariel shook her shoulders and said in a stern voice, “You have to trust your mom. She’s not the woman Winona described her to be!” “But… I have no way of pretending that I don’t know everything.”The reason why Martin told the truth was that he knew this whole thing could no longer remain concealed, so he had no choice but t

“I’m not sure either. I haven’t dealt with her that much, but I know that she snatched away her best friend’s husband. She seduced John and even gave birth to his child out of wedlock. She’s definitely not a good person.”“I think Molly’s death must have been related to Sophia for sure.” Matthew’s face took on a solemn expression. “Sophia started out from Hoover Alley and ended up in the position of a mayoress, so she’s not to be underestimated.” “I was suspicious of Molly’s death before, but the police have already arrested the driver who caused the accident. Upon investigating the truth, it was indeed an accident. We can only blame the heavens for fooling humans and not letting kind-hearted people live long lives.” “If Sophia hadn’t gone looking for Christina’s mother that day, she wouldn’t have been killed in the accident. I don’t believe this whole incident had nothing to do with Sophia!”“What did you say?” Martin was shocked. “You said Sophia went to find Molly on the day o

John was hopping mad at her uncle, asking him what rights did he have to call the shots and cremate her mother’s body before waiting for him to come back. Her uncle, who had always been quiet, suddenly beat John out of anger. Her uncle was like a madman then. “John Garcia, put your hand over your heart and examine your conscience. Aren’t you aware of what you’ve done to her behind her back? I’m telling you, she already knew about all your scandals. This funeral is what she wanted. It’s what she told me to do before she left us!” John was very angry at first but wilted after hearing her uncle’s words. Christina did not know why John was fearful of her uncle back then. When Sophia brought Serena into the family later, Christina felt extremely disappointed with John after seeing that timid little girl calling him her dad. Hence, she ran away from home without hesitation. All these years, she had always thought her mother’s death was an accident and never thought there would be an

While Matthew was investigating the incident, Michael was also carrying out his investigation in an intensive manner. Michael instructed people to carry out an investigation on the people from Hoover Alley one by one, not missing out on any clue. The key person was Sophia’s cousin. He might have been the guy who got Winona pregnant with Suzy. Sophia’s cousin was a gangster who committed all sorts of crimes. He was involved in plenty of rape cases back in Hoover Alley. That place had always been sketchy anyway. He gave the female victims some money and made various threats, so no one dared to report him to the police. However, one girl acted differently. She reported him to the police after getting raped by him. Sophia’s cousin stabbed the girl twice and threw her into the well out of anger. The circumstances of this crime were severe. Sophia’s cousin was sentenced to 20 years in prison, and he had been imprisoned ever since. Even after Sophia became a mayoress, she did not

Michael looked at him with pity. “The reason is that someone outside doesn’t want you to be released from prison alive.”“You’re lying to me! This is impossible!” Tommy was shaken up. He was not foolish and knew what Michael meant. He did not believe his cousin would be so heartless to him. “She’s now a mayoress. There’s no one above her but the mayor. You know she did many disgraceful things in the past. That said, she’s kind enough to let you stay alive.”Tommy stood up all of a sudden, his face as white as a sheet. “You’re lying to me!”“I have no reason to lie to you. Sophia became the mayoress more than ten years ago. For so many years of stirring up trouble, why did she not come to bail you out? You’re a smart person. There’s no need for me to explain all of these right?”Tommy was furious. He gritted his teeth until they chattered and only calmed down after a long while. Staring at Michael, he asked, “What’s your motive for seeing me here today?” “I’d like to hear someth

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.

“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
