Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 128

Francis swept his gaze across them before fixing his stare on Christina. He questioned, “What’s going on?”

Gwyneth froze momentarily, wondering if she had misheard Francis.

What? I can’t believe that Francis believes in Christina’s words instead of mine. Isn’t she just a stylist? Besides, I’ve never heard of her in this field before. I was merely trying to stir up trouble by snatching Coco’s stylist. I won’t let her go easily if she deliberately says something to Francis!

Christina’s gaze flickered as she exchanged glances with Francis. At that moment, she looked like she knew Francis’ intention.

She uttered nonchalantly. “It’s nothing big. Gwyneth’s stylist is not here yet, so she wanted my help. However, I can’t leave now,”

“I see,” uttered Francis. Turning to gaze at the assistant, he ordered, “Hurry up and bring Gwyneth to do her makeup.”

“Yes, got it.” The assistant nodded, approached Gwyneth, and pulled her lightly. “Ms. Lawson, let’s get to work. Our schedule is pretty full today.”

Meanwhile, Gwyneth knew that Christina was giving her an out by doing so. Things would probably turn south if she refused to cooperate.

Judging from how Francis immediately turned to Christina to ask her take on what happened, he’s clearly on her side.

With that thought in mind, Gwyneth felt uneasy. Knowing that she shouldn’t be kicking up a fuss about that, Gwyneth mustered every ounce of willpower to keep her feelings suppressed and walked away.

It took Coco quite a while to register what she had just heard.

Is that it? What’s happening? Gwyneth isn’t someone who would give in just like that.

“Let’s go! We have to do the makeup. What are you waiting for?” Christina pulled Coco and left.

The drama died down unexpectedly. After they were done with the makeup, Coco followed the photographer for a shoot.

Meanwhile, Christina tidied her makeup tools at the dressing table and prepared the next outfit.

It was at that moment a dark reflection appeared in the bright mirror. Francis walked up to her silently and uttered, “You did a great job. I think that you have the potential to become a manager. Do you want to consider it?”

After what had happened a while ago, Christina rolled her eyes at him and replied. “There’s no need for that. Stop pushing the responsibility on me next time. Although I’m not working for your company, it would affect my career if I offend people like that.”

A hint of a smile appeared on Francis’ lips. She’s smarter than I thought. It didn’t matter which side I picked in a situation like that. There would be an aggrieved party anyway. That was why I asked Christina for help. She didn’t want to find trouble and was smart enough to cooperate with me after realizing what I wanted. All things considered, everyone had a happy ending. Besides that, Gwyneth won’t make things difficult for Coco again in the

Francis sat on the couch at the back, a wide smile on his face. “I owe you a favor. I’ll add another five percent to your fees.”

“I’m satisfied with this method of repayment.” Now that Christina needed money, she wouldn’t reject the offer.

Christina turned around to look at him. “The suit is done. Do you want to try it?”

Renee had recently been participating in a variety show. She was probably too busy to reply to her text messages and merely mentioned that she was satisfied with the design drawing. Thus, she asked Christina to proceed with tailoring the clothes.

Subsequently, Christina took some time out of her schedule to make the clothes. Renee didn’t have the time to try hers on yet. Hence, Christina planned to deal with Francis first.

Standing up, Francis responded, “Okay, pass the suit to me.”
