Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 161

The rock zipped through the air but was caught by a large hand instead of hitting its target.

“You have some nerve to hurt her,” Nathaniel growled.

The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly as he glared at Elizabeth viciously, startling the young girl.

From her perspective, he looked like a bloodthirsty demon who emerged from the darkest of nights, so malicious that he could swallow the entire bamboo forest whole. If looks could kill, she would’ve died at

that moment.

In response, she directed her frustration toward Christina. “It’s her fault for standing in my way! I warned her already, so it’s not my fault!” She’s doing this intentionally! It’s disgusting that she’s trying to act like a saint in front of him.

Christina didn’t want to cause a scene on Felicia’s birthday. So, she whispered, “Forget about it, Nathaniel. Don’t make a fuss about it.”

Scowling, Nathaniel barked, “Scram!”

His aura was too overwhelming, and he resembled the Grim Reaper, who had just ambled out of hell. It was as if thick black smoke was rising from his body, and he was capable of changing the weather with a wave of his hand.

Elizabeth was so frightened that she teared up. As the Bennett family’s pampered daughter, she had never suffered such a grievance before.

Nathaniel’s domineering aura rendered her incapable of refuting him.

Thus, she shouted furiously, choking back tears. “You better remember this, b*tch! Hmph!”

With that, she ran away.

Madison witnessed the whole scene. I can’t believe Nathaniel’s willing to offend the Bennett family for an ordinary woman like Christina! Not everyone can afford to mess with the Bennett family in Yorksland!

“Ms. Bennett seems frightened. I’ll check up on her,” said Madison before she chased after Elizabeth.

Christina had no idea the arrogant young lady from earlier was the Bennett family’s daughter or that she would be walking straight into a brewing scheme soon.

After she lifted the rabbit into her arms, she grabbed a small handkerchief from her handbag to stop its leg from bleeding.

She gently caressed its head and said, “Be good and get out of here. Stay in the forest and don’t come out again. The outside world is a dangerous place, so don’t be too adventurous.”

As though the rabbit understood her words, it blinked before slowly jumping into the bamboo forest.

Felicia, who just so happened to be passing by, witnessed that.

The bamboo forest was filled with life. Occasionally, small animals would pop out, stroll around the forest, and leave. Sometimes, they would stay for a while.

It was said that if a land was inhabited by creatures, it was proof that the land was a valuable one, at least

from a geomancy perspective.

That was why Felicia never hurt the animals that visited the forest. In fact, she would ask the housekeepers to prepare fresh water around the area for the animals to drink.

Therefore, when she saw Christina’s kind act, her belief of Christina being a good, compassionate woman was further strengthened.

A variety of scrumptious dishes was presented on the dining table during dinner. However, the host’s table only had vegan dishes.

That was because Felicia was vegan, and she would never break her habit of not eating meat, not even on her birthday.

After dinner, Nathaniel went to the study to sort out some documents.

Madison invited Christina to take a stroll in the outer courtyard. The villa was so huge that there was a small bridge, which the duo crossed. Then, they saw a water spring.

The villa’s geographical location was fantastic as it was surrounded by nature. Anyone would feel relaxed and refreshed just by staying there.

She was stunned as a chill ran down her spine. Someone was trying to push me into the water! If I didn’t dodge quickly, I would’ve been the one down there!

Hastily, Christina turned around. Thanks to the lunar glow, she was able to see who the person struggling in the water was. It’s the lady who tried to shoot me with the slingshot earlier!

Crap! It seems like she really doesn’t know how to swim. Without delay, Christina called Nathaniel. “Come to the spring in the front yard as quickly as possible. Someone fell in the water, and she doesn’t know how to swim.”
