Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 223

There, Christina was pulled into bed by a sudden force.

Blinking her dreamy eyes accentuated her long eyelashes. Faced with Nathaniel’s seemingly angry expression, she asked curiously, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Stop spending time with Bailey going forward!” Nathaniel ordered in a domineering tone.

“Isn’t that unreasonable of you? Bailey is my friend.” Christina didn’t understand what had gotten into him. Isn’t he getting carried away with his jealousy?

Nathaniel cursed in his mind. Bailey is so good at acting that Christina failed to see through her charade.

“She likes women, so just stay away from her.”

The reason for Nathaniel’s jealous expression quickly dawned upon Christina. “You’ve got the wrong idea. She said that just to avoid being put on blind dates by her mother. She’s actually straight and had a boyfriend before.”

Despite being surprised by the revelation, Nathaniel maintained a skeptical look.

Christina subsequently wrapped her slender arms around Nathaniel’s muscular neck and gently pulled him toward her.

On top of his cool demeanor and exquisite features, Nathaniel exuded an air of masculinity.

Her heart would flutter every time she made contact with his skin.

“Mr. Hadley, since when have you become jealous of a woman?”

Narrowing his eyes, Nathaniel felt as if Christina looked like a cunning fox when she tried to tease him. “I don’t like others touching my possession.”

Amused by his domineering response, Christina felt a sense of warmth well up within her.

When she raised her head to kiss him, the taste of his lips caused her heart to throb and lose her rationality.

A passionate atmosphere descended upon the room as their voices faded away amidst the silvery light.

Meanwhile, the police arrived at Shelley’s home before she received news from the leader of the hoodlums.

After receiving a report that the hoodlums were paid off to hurt Christina, they were there to arrest Shelley for further investigations.

Shelley’s heart sank into a bottomless abyss, whereas her mind drew nothing but a blank.

How did this happen? They promised me that they would teach Christina a lesson after taking my money.

“What has them beating up someone got anything to do with me?”

The police obviously had enough evidence to arrest her. “With regards to the previous case which we stayed our hand, Mrs. Hadley wants us to bring the perpetrator to justice now. The Hadley family isn’t the only one that wants to sue you. The Cook family wants to hold you responsible too, so please cooperate

with us!”

Cognizant of how deep in trouble she was in, Shelley collapsed onto the ground with her face losing all

color.

She began to cry helplessly as despair overwhelmed her.

Upon hearing the news, Alexander Jansson and his wife rushed home at once. They hurried over when they saw the police take Shelley away “My daughter is an obedient girl and is incapable of harming anyone. You must’ve made a mistake!”

“Please step aside. We’re just carrying out our duty.”

With no time to waste, the police led Shelley away despite her repeated denials that she wasn’t the mastermind.

Alexander and his wife were visibly distraught when they saw how pitifully Shelley was crying.

“Don’t worry, Shelley. I’ll think of a way to get you out.”

After being ushered into the police car, Shelley trembled all over.

I hate Christina. She is the one who did this to me. I’ll make her pay as long as I’m alive!
