Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 195

Christina rushed to the Steele residence as fast as she could.

They’re too much! How dare they take my mom away while I’m not around? Mom has just recuperated. She won’t be able to take any more torment!

As soon as she stepped into the house, she saw Gideon and Miranda sitting on the couch, leisurely sipping away at their tea.

At the sight of the anxious look on Christina’s face, they broke into a wicked smile.

“Where did you two trick my mother into going?” Christina cut to the chase and questioned them at once.

Putting the coffee cup down, Miranda lifted the corners of her lips into a scornful smirk. “What are you talking about? We are a family. Your mom hasn’t been quite in the right mind recently. Your dad and I were concerned about her condition, so we sent her to a better place for treatment.”

Hearing her mention the word “concern” is utterly disgusting. They’ve never cared about Mom. There’s no way they’d change so suddenly.

Fury blazed in Christina’s eyes. “Bring my mom back at once, or else I won’t show mercy.”

Gideon took out a psychiatric assessment report and threw it over. “Your mom has been diagnosed with a mental disorder. You can’t get her discharged as you wish. She can only be discharged after the doctor deems she’s recovered.”

Christina grabbed the test report, ripped it to shreds, and threw them at Miranda’s face. “You can fake the results. Don’t think I can’t find out where she’s at, even if you all keep your mouths shut. I’ll definitely report you two to the cops.”

When she was about to turn away and leave, Miranda took out her phone and passed it to her. “You can leave, but I doubt she’ll still be alive when you find her.”

It was hard to tell the exact location from the phone.

All Christina could see was a sick bed in a black, empty room and a metal chain secured around Sharon’s ankle. The latter’s face was so pale she looked like a person on the verge of dying.

“Mom!”

Even though Christina knew Sharon could not hear her, she still yelled out loud.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. It pained her heart to see her mother in that state.

Miranda knew she had a hold over Christina when she observed how the latter reacted. “Go ahead and call the cops! So what if they catch us? Your mom won’t survive anyway!”

Tears welled up in Christina’s eyes as she gritted her teeth.

It’s obvious she has already bribed the person on the other side. Even if I call the cops now, she’ll still have the upper hand as it only takes seconds for her to make a call. That’s why she’s so confident and fearless.

Christina figured she could only endure it for the time being. It won’t be too late to settle scores with them after I ensure Mom is safe.

“What exactly do you want?” she asked.

That was the response Miranda had been waiting for. She exchanged a smug look with Gideon. See. I told you my plan would work for sure.

“You brat, why do you sound so formal? We’re a family. If you treat us well, we’ll treat you the same way. Ask Mr. Hadley to give up pursuing legal action against your dad and unfreeze his bank card.” Miranda immediately changed her attitude and said ingratiatingly.

Christina glared at her coldly. “Fine.”

A smile crept up Miranda’s face when she heard that. Brat! You won’t be able to escape my clutches this time round!

Before Christina left, she grimly warned, “But my mom is in poor health. There’s no way I’ll let you all off the hook if anything happens to her.”

With that, she turned and strode out of the Steele residence.

Sensing the forbidding aura radiating off Christina’s body as she left, Gideon could not help but shudder.

“Will she go back and ask Mr. Hadley for help? We’ll be in trouble if he takes his anger out on us.”

Miranda snickered. “Don’t worry. That brat values her mother more than her own life. She won’t dare to take any risks.”

She fished out her phone and dialed the ward’s number.

“Take good care of that crazy woman. Nothing must happen to her.”

Of course, since Sharon was still of value, Miranda had to take good care of her, at least until the day when she was no longer of use…

Soon, Gideon received a notification from the bank informing him that his bank card had been unfrozen.

There was also a revocation of the lawyer’s letter, removing all legal actions against him.

“That’s great. You’re the best, Darling.”

Gideon hugged Miranda.
