Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 184

During the meeting previously, Christina had suspected whether Emilia had something to do with Madison.

From the look of things now, their relationship isn’t all that great. Why did Emilia ask her for hush money? Did they do something vile? Could it be that they were the ones who planned the kidnapping?

Questions lingered within her, but she knew that she would undoubtedly alarm them if she were to make a move to confront them.

After mulling the matter over, she decided that it was safer to investigate things secretly.

Leaving from the back stairwell, she went into the office.

Right then, Madison was discussing work matters with Nathaniel with a document in her hand. When she saw Christina entering the office, her lips curved into a smile. “Since Mrs. Hadley is here, I’ll excuse myself first and leave you two to it.”

Her graceful and understanding attitude made it seem as though she was an entirely different person from when she was on the top floor carlier, striking much fear into Christina.

As Madison brushed past her, the woman flashed her an icy smile that made her shudder.

Only after the office door slammed shut did Christina snap back to reality. She breathed a soft sigh of relief.

“What’s wrong?” Noticing the ashen look on her face, Nathaniel lifted his hand and rested it against her forehead lightly to take her temperature.

Hmm, she’s not running a fever. Why does she look so pale?

Christina gathered her wits about her. She raised her chin and pouted. “Everything’s fine. I’m hungry.”

“I’ll have the cafeteria deliver some food up.”

A few minutes later, a feast was spread across the coffee table.

Without standing on ceremony, Christina started eating. Nathaniel helped her peel the prawns and filled her bowl with food.

Seeing the sheer amount of food in her bowl, she huffed, “Stop taking food for me. We’re the only ones eating here, so there’s no competition.”

It was not until then that Nathaniel stopped taking food for her. “Let’s eat.”

After they finished eating, the chef served dessert. Eating a bowl of hot dessert, Christina found herself suffused with warmth.

There was still some time before it was time to start work, so she rested on the couch while leaning against Nathaniel’s shoulder.

When Christina got off work, she took time out of her schedule to visit her mother.

Upon arriving at the hospital, she was informed by the doctor that Sharon was recovering well due to the timely medical intervention and having recuperated for two months.

She could be discharged from the hospital anytime.

It so happened that it was the weekend tomorrow. Christina decided to come over the next day and handle the discharge procedures for her mother.

Sharon agreed as well.

Early the following morning, the driver was already waiting at the door by the time Christina wanted to leave the house.

“Mrs. Hadley, Mr. Hadley has given the order that I’m to drive you personally no matter where you go today.” That aside, I’m to report your whereabouts to him.

Christina did not refuse the offer. Getting into the car, she instructed the driver to head to the hospital directly.

After settling the discharge procedures, she left with Sharon.

Coincidentally, Miranda, who was visiting the hospital, witnessed that scene.

“That damn girl is actually picking that b*tch up from the hospital in a Rolls–Royce!” she snarled through gritted teeth.

As she recalled the few slaps she had suffered courtesy of Christina at Radiant Corporation the other day, she felt her face stinging hotly even then.

Emilia supported Miranda, likewise green with envy. “Why is Christina so lucky? What’s so great about her?”

I was the one who enjoyed the best of everything since young. Why have things turned the other way around now that we’ve grown up? I’ve failed to secure both acting and endorsement deals. Worse still, I’ve even been blacklisted by all netizens. The movies I acted in previously have been taken off the shelves, and all my peers are condemning me for dragging them down with me. Absolutely no one is willing to work with me!

The instant Miranda remembered that it was because of Christina that she was kicked out of the house, fury brewed within her. “I’ll definitely have my revenge one day!”

Someday, my chance will come!

Emilia’s gaze darkened frightfully. Well, there’s always a way out. Taking out her phone, she called a woman she was previously acquainted with.

I can’t possibly abandon her in such a dust–filled house when she’s recovering right now.
