Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 163

A deathly silence ensued in the living room.

Nathaniel stepped toward Carl, glared at the latter coldly, and stated firmly, “No one is allowed to touch my woman!”

Everyone present was stunned.

Felicia laid her coffee cup aside and chuckled. “I’m glad my grandson knows how to protect his wife! Not bad.”

Meanwhile, Julia was sweating profusely as she tugged the old woman’s sleeve and whispered, “Don’t fan the flames, Mom.” We shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we investigate the matter.

“I believe in Christina,” asserted Felicia.

Julia couldn’t understand why her mother–in–law believed in Christina so much.

Of course, the Bennetts were understandably enraged. They didn’t expect Nathaniel to love Christina so much that he was willing to sacrifice the company’s interests for her, even though her background couldn’t be any more ordinary.

“So, it seems the reason your wife acted haughtily and bullied our daughter is that she has your support. Hmph, I wonder if she’s a disgrace to your family,” mocked Carl coldly.

Upon hearing Nathaniel’s words, Molly gritted her teeth angrily. “Are you saying you won’t ask the culprit to apologize?” I won’t allow the person who hurt my daughter to go unpunished! If he refuses to relent, then he better not blame us for ignoring the relationship our families share! It’s a piece of cake for us to drag that woman out of her room! I’ve already asked all of our family’s bodyguards to come here. When the time arrives, I’ll haul her into the living room and force her to apologize!

The grim atmosphere turned tense. No one dared to lower their guards as they prepared to strike.

Nathaniel placed his hands behind his back and stood tall, looking like an immovable snowy mountain. A dangerous look swirled in his dark eyes.

Composedly, he declared, “Elizabeth was the one who pushed Christina into the pool, so she should be the one apologizing!”

The crowd gasped in shock when they heard that.

He wants the victim to apologize? What kind of joke is this? This is ridiculous! He has no respect for the Bennett family at all! Exasperated, Carl roared. “How dare you claim that Elizabeth’s the one who pushed her! Do you have evidence?” I won’t let this slide unless he has a convincing argument!

Nathaniel appeared to have come prepared as he snapped his fingers confidently.

Moments later, Sam emerged from a corner and displayed a few photos on a tablet. He accidentally took pictures of the environment back then while they were on the way to meet with Christina after receiving

her call.

The photos clearly showed Christina’s clothes, shoes, and phone neatly placed on the side of the bridge.

Coldly, Nathaniel explained with animosity, “Let me ask you all something. Who would set their belongings aside before pushing someone into the water when they themselves have no intention of also

falling into the water? Obviously, Christina laid her belongings on the bridge because she planned to save Elizabeth after seeing the latter falling into the water! Christina tried to rescue Elizabeth out of kindness, yet she was accused as the culprit! None of you are leaving this building until you apologize to her!”

The people in the living room exchanged glances with each other. He makes a solid argument. According to Elizabeth, she met Christina on the bridge before the latter shoved her into the pool. As she did, she grabbed Christina’s hand, causing them both to fall. If that’s true, how did Christina have enough time to place her belongings neatly on the bridge?

Resentfully, she refuted, “He’s lying. They could’ve purposely placed those items there afterward.” I wouldn’t have needed to come out here and argue with him if he wasn’t threatening to ruin my plan! I’m so close to succeeding!
