Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 278

With his face reddened in embarrassment, Frank didn’t even know how to explain himself.

He dared not utter a single word after stuttering for a long while.

Thereafter, a flurry of heavy footsteps could be heard entering the room. Following that, a man stepped into the room with an entourage of professional bodyguards behind him.

As Nathaniel’s towering figure cast a long shadow in the room, his frosty expression and clenched jaw exuded an air of hostility.

His imposing presence immediately filled the room with an icy tension.

“Mr. Hadley, I’ll discuss the paperwork needed with the police,” the lawyer informed Nathaniel before heading off.

After that, Nathaniel shifted his deep–set eyes toward Christina as he walked over to her.

“Are you hurt?”

Christina looked up and blinked innocently. “I’m not, but-

That’s all that matters.” Nathaniel couldn’t care less about those who had nothing to do with him.

Paying no heed to everyone else in the room, he wrapped his arm around her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace protectively.

Christina couldn’t help but blush upon noticing the look of surprise on everyone else’s faces. “Nathaniel,

we’re not alone.”

We’d better keep a low profile with so many people watching.

She tried pushing Nathaniel away, but her efforts were futile due to the huge gap in their strength. There was no way she could move him unless Nathaniel willingly let her go.

Meanwhile, Rayne was stunned by what she saw, her mind overwhelmed by the sudden revelation.

Why is Mr. Hadley here? I didn’t see Christina make any calls just now. On top of that, the atmosphere within the room changed the moment he entered.

It instantly dawned upon her why Christina was so calm–she had the backing of a powerful protector. Meanwhile, at the sight of the pair hugging each other, Frank understood why Nathaniel had threatened him despite the lack of bad blood between them.

It turns out that Christina is his woman! No wonder that young lady’s so arrogant!

Despite the boiling rage within him, Frank didn’t have the guts to show it. All he could do was seethe as he asked, “Christina, didn’t you say that you didn’t have a boyfriend? Why did you lie to me?”

Poking her head out of Nathaniel’s embrace, Christina fumed, “It’s true that I don’t have a boyfriend. This is my husband!”

What? Husband?

Frank suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning as his eyelids twitched. Recalling how he had framed Christina earlier, he realized that he had signed his own death warrant.

If only he had known that Nathaniel was Christina’s husband, he wouldn’t have had the courage to make a move on her.

Unfortunately, it was now too late for regrets. If Nathaniel was to hold him responsible, he didn’t dare imagine the consequences that would follow.

Even his entire wealth wouldn’t be enough to compensate for his mistake.

With tears welling up in his eyes, Frank grabbed the police officer’s hand. “Officer, can I report? Please let me do it. I beg of you!”

The officer shot him a look of displeasure. “What do you think this place is? Does it look like somewhere you can mess around? If you want to withdraw your report, the opposing party might hold responsible for making baseless accusations!”

From the beginning, the officer was skeptical about Frank’s story that Christina had tried to seduce him for the sake of fame and fortune.

After all, she looked like a kind and decent lady who would never do something so immoral.
