Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 108

Upon hearing that, the other employees instantly peered at Christina and Anna with disdain. After all, favoritism was an anathema in the industry.

Anna wasn’t going to ignore that accusation as she retorted lividly, “What nonsense are you speaking? Yes, Christina shared some of her opinions with me, but that doesn’t mean she’s showing me favoritism!”

A scowl settled on Caroline’s countenance. Of course, she wouldn’t admit it. They’re colluding with each other, after all! There’s no point in continuing this argument since our colleagues will start to think Christina’s unreliable, whether it’s true or not.

“In any case, I know you two are working with each other. How disgusting!” Upon completing her sentence, she turned around, ready to leave.

Suddenly, someone spoke in a cold voice at the entrance. “You’re just going to leave after scolding her?”

His magnetic voice instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

The bodyguards pushed the crowd aside, making way for Nathaniel to enter.

His simple, slim-fit suit perfectly illustrated his towering figure. A cold look was present on his exceptionally alluring face as he stepped toward Christina with a kingly vibe.

The female employees covered their mouths because they almost shouted when they finally saw Nathaniel’s rumored handsome mug. However, they couldn’t help but dismiss the rumors once they witnessed his beauty with their own eyes.

After all, his charming appearance couldn’t be described with words.

Moments later, they wondered why he was standing up for Christina, which roused their jealousy.

Christina was stunned to see him. I can’t believe it. Why is he here?

Nathaniel’s sharp, icy gaze landed on Caroline. “You’re claiming Christina is showing favoritism, yes?”

Trembling like a weak animal facing its natural predator, Caroline was so terrified that she couldn’t utter anything.

“Call Zachary here.”

“Understood.” One of Nathaniel’s bodyguards promptly left the room.

Cold sweat covered Christina’s back. This is only a minor matter that requires a little clarification.

The crowd thought Nathaniel looked like a king adjudicating a case as he stood in the middle of the office with a group of bodyguards.

A minute later, Zachary hurriedly arrived at the office Even from afar, he could already sense the cold, unpleasant atmosphere in the room. “What happened? Why did Mr. Hadley personally come to resolve an issue?”

Nathaniel lifted his chin silently.

No one in the room dared to utter a word, fearing they would get sacked if they said the wrong thing.

In the end, Christina stepped forward to recount what had transpired.

When Zachary finished listening to her tale, he thought there was more to the story, so he asked, “Is that all?”

Christina eyed the disbelief on his countenance while feeling the same. “Yes, that’s all.”

Zachary was so furious that he almost rolled his eyes around. I can’t believe Nathaniel marched into the office as if he was going to destroy the place for such a minor issue. Isn’t this overkill? Then again, it involves Christina, who he has always protected.

Swiftly, he asked his assistant to bring all the work submitted to the competition. There really were thirty design drawings.

He explained, “Caroline’s work was submitted. However, it wasn’t good enough to reach the top three. Meanwhile, Anna’s work is deemed by the judges to be the best, which is why she won.”

Once every submitted piece of work was laid next to each other, everyone could clearly discern which one was the best.

Thus, it was Caroline’s fault for thinking she was better than she actually was. She thought her victory was secured because she didn’t consider the talents others possessed.
