Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 136

Christina’s clear eyes were filled with rage.

Francis was struck by a wave of guilt when he saw the mild-mannered woman glaring at him. “What’s the matter with you?”

“You’re not Rence’s fiancé. Why did you lie to me?” Christina questioned.

Francis had wanted to take the opportunity to explain to her, but as it turned out, she had already found out about it herself. “You didn’t ask me properly about it. I wanted to explain to you.”

Explain to me? You had so many opportunities to explain to me, but you decided to only tell me about this after I exposed your lie?

With a scoff, Christina began walking toward the doorway.

Francis ran after her. “Don’t be mad! I was worried that you’d ignore me if you found out that I wasn’t Rence’s fiancé. That’s why I hid the truth from you.”

Even though Christina did not slow down, she was much shorter than Francis, who soon caught up with her and stood in her way.

Forced to halt in her tracks, she then snapped, “Thats not a good reason.”

With that. Christina shoved him aside and strode off

Francis did not run after her this time. He knew that not only might he fail to console her, but she might even attack him.

As he watched her leave, he could not help but lamen about how it would be wonderful if she were not Nathaniel’s woman.

In her anger, Christina blocked Francis’ contact.

For the next few days, she focused on finishing Coco’s appearance. It was a personal project, and Francis’ studio was going to transfer the fee to her account at the end of the month.

Soon, Coco’s new album was released. The moment it was released, it garnered over five million views.

Not only was the audience praising her incredible dance moves and beautiful singing voice, but they were also praising the stunning attire showcased in the music video.

A number of companies noticed that, and plenty of people started trying to find out who was the stylist for the music video.

As Coco proudly displayed her photo with Christina, she unknowingly unveiled the secret that Christina had been working on a personal project.

Not long after, someone in the company wrote an anonymous letter to the company. In the afternoon, Gina received a message about the matter and summoned Christina to her office.

Christina knew that she had gone against the company rules, so she was nervous. After all, she still needed the job.

As Gina watched the music video on her computer screen, she remarked, “You’ve made good choices. in the matching. You seem to be talented in this area”

Christina had braced herself for a scolding from Gina, but to her surprise, instead of a warning letter, Gina began to praise her. “Ms. Tanner. 1-”

Gina cut her off. “You’re not allowed to take on personal projects in the future. However, the company has also implemented a new rule. From now on, all employees of the company will receive eight percent of the remuneration for personal projects.”

The employees were concealing their personal projects from the company in order to earn some extra income. Once the company became aware of this, they decided to amend the rules.

Just as Christina stepped out of the office, the employees received an email about the new rules. It made those who anonymously complained about Christina pale.

Their intention was for the company to reprimand Christina, but their plan did not unfold as expected. Instead, it had the unintended consequence of making other designers appreciate Christina

even more.

After all, she was the reason others no longer needed to hide their personal projects from the

As it had been a long time since Christina had seen her grandmother, she went to the supermarket for a grocery trip after work before heading home.

Nathaniel had gifted Evelyn with a dance studio, and as a result, she began inviting her friendly neighbors to dance together on a daily basis.
