Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 112

Ever since their days in the Hadley residence, Julia already knew that Christina did not know how to swim. Despite that, she still pushed Christina into the water, revealing how furious she must have been over the latter’s deceit.

“I asked her to design your outfit. Blame me if you have to,” said Nathaniel curtly before unbuttoning his coat. He then tossed it aside and promptly dived into the pool to save Christina.

Seeing that the situation was worsening, Helen instructed the butler and the housekeepers to send the

guests away.

Meanwhile, Julia stomped back into the house angrily

The guests were soon brought away.

Nathaniel carried Christina, who was completely drenched. In such weather, she shivered when gusts of wind blew past.

Wrapping two thick towels around them, the butler invited them back into the house.

The water on their body dripped all over the place. Cristina was so cold that she shivered vigorously. With his heart aching, Nathaniel wiped her hair and instructed the butler, “Bring some hot tea over.”

“Understood,” said the butler. However, just when he turned around to leave, Julia warned sternly, “You

aren’t allowed to!”

“But Ms. Christina will catch a cold, Mrs. Hadley,” said the butler in a conflicted tone as he looked at Christina’s frail body.

Sitting in the living room, Julia exuded such an intimidating aura that the housekeepers around her did not even dare to breathe loudly.

If one looked closely, Julia had changed into a black gown after taking off the jasmine gown.

Casting a cold glance at Christina’s drenched body, the older woman did not think that Christina was pitiable at all. “This is the Hadley residence, not the Scenic Garden Manor. Get lost with her.”

While Julia used to look down on Christina, it was obvious to everyone that she now hated the latter.

Madison was overjoyed when she saw that, although she did not understand why Julia hated being lied. to so much. Nevertheless, with Christina having violated the older woman’s taboo, Madison was sure that everything Christina did that might have left a good impression on Julia had now gone to waste.

Walking toward Christina, Madison frowned anxiously and appeared to be regretful. “I’m sorry, Christina. When I saw how much Mrs. Hadley liked the outfit that you designed, I thought she’ll see you in a different light after finding out that you’re Ms. Ada… I really want to help improve you improve your relationship with her. I definitely did not harbor any other intentions.”

She even made it sound like she was on the verge of crying when she reached the emotional part of her speech.

Christina trembled in coldness. Her cheeks were ashen, and fury filled the depths of her watery eyes.

Improve our relationship? It’s obvious that this is all part of her plan! Otherwise, why would she have pulled me

Chapter 112 Huge Loss

out in public and arranged for Hannah from the studio to act as the witness? Her objective is to put Mrs. Hadley in a difficult position in front of everyone else, making her hate me even more. What a marvelous plan! She managed to force me into this pathetic state….

Christina glanced upward, her icy gaze landing on Mailison. “I know you have kind intentions, but Hannah probably wasn’t included in Mrs. Hadley’s guest list, right? You must have a really wide social network to be able to invite her.”

Madison’s expression changed drastically when she heard this. Although she had prepared all sorts of refutations, she did not expect Christina to use Hannah against her.

After all, she had paid Hannah to act as a witness for Christina’s identity.

The situation became strange again, for Madison could not think of an excuse to rebuke Christina. Rather than gloating silently, she was now worried about what Nathaniel would think of her.

At that moment, Helen brought out the two gowns that Julia had not worn yet. “What shall we do with the gowns, Mrs. Hadley?”

Narrowing her eyes, Julia pursed her lips tightly and instructed in an icy tone, “Burn them in the backyard.”

Burn them?

Helen wondered if she had misheard Julia.

Afraid that Christina would catch a cold, Nathaniel wrapped his towel around her and carried her in his arms. “Let’s go back.”

After speaking, he turned around and left, not forgetting to glare at Madison coldly, his brooding gaze piercing into the depths of her soul like a deadly arrow.

Madison felt like she had suffered a huge loss, even though she managed to exact some damage on Christina. While Christina fell into her trap, Madison also dug her own grave.

Nathaniel walked out while carrying Christina. When Sebastian, who was waiting outside the door, stepped forward, Nathaniel threw him an icy look from the side of his eyes.

Although Sebastian was standing outside, the voices indoors were so loud that he heard everything.

While Nathaniel continued walking out, Sebastian turned around and headed to the backyard.

The cold gusts of wind extinguished the matchsticks in the housekeeper’s hands as if they also opposed the burning of the gowns.

Looking at the exquisitely made gowns, Helen felt reluctant to burn them. However, they did not dare to defy Julia’s orders.

“Helen, please give me the gowns.” Sebastian walked over and stretched out his hand to take the gowns.

“But Mrs. Hadley…” Helen felt troubled.

Sebastian grabbed the gowns without waiting for her response. “Don’t worry. If Mrs. Hadley continues. to pursue this matter, say that Mr. Hadley took them. She won’t blame you.”

Helen was helpless to do anything. However, as she was genuinely reluctant to let such beautiful gowns be destroyed, she allowed Sebastian to take them.

Sebastian then walked out of the door and placed the gowns in the trunk before getting into the car

It was almost midnight when they arrived at Scenic Garden Manor. Christina, who was wrapped in two towels, went into the bathroom and soaked herself in warm water. Perhaps as she was too exhausted, she fell asleep the moment she changed into her pajamas.

In the middle of the night, however, she started to feel uncomfortable.
