Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 289

When Jamie fell into the pool, her thin tank top was torn, and the ripped fabric floated on the water.

Waves of laughter echoed in the area, and Jamie’s face flushed red in an instant. She shot Christina a death stare as if she was going to rip the latter into pieces.

When Christina panicked just now, the only thought in her mind was not to be the only person falling into the pool. She just did not expect to yank Jamie’s clothes.

She also shot Jamie a cold glance.

If the two had not tried to pull such a prank, Christina would not have ended up in the water.

With everyone surrounding them now, if she were to get out of the water, the wet clothes would cling to her body tightly.

It would be such an alluring sight to behold.

However, she could not just stay in the water, for her boily might not be able to take it.

At that point, Christina could already feel her body numbing. If there’s no other choice, I’ll just get out of the water first. Otherwise, I might catch a cold.

Just then, Jewel stepped out of the crowd.

She was holding a towel in her hands, and her gaze fell upon Christina. “Christina, come up here.”

As Christina saw the worried look in Jewel’s eyes, she had a feeling that the latter was harboring ulterior

motives.

Beside her, Jamie called out pitifully, “Jewel, hand me a towel too!”

I don’t get it. Jewel was the one who told us to mess with her, yet the former is trying to help her now!

Christina could tell from Jamie’s words that the two girls must have been sent to her by Jewel, and they pushed her into the pool on purpose.

What is Jewel’s intention?

Christina shivered as she climbed up the ladder. Jewel swiftly covered her with the towel and pretended to ask in concern, “Christina, are you okay?”

“Why don’t you try experiencing it yourself?” Christina’s tone was cold. Does she possibly think that I’d be fine after falling into the icy water? I only hope that I won’t fall sick.

Jewel’s face darkened slightly. She then brought Christina back into the house, paying no heed to Jamie, who was calling for help..

Both of them went into a bedroom, and it was warm inside. Christina could feel her body slowly becoming warm again.

There were only two of them in the room at that moment. Christina cast a sidelong glance at Jewel and asked, “Just say it. What are your intentions?”

Just not too long ago, jewel was still acting haughtily, but she seemed so docile now.

Such a drastic change in her attitude made Christina wonder if Jewel was plotting something again.

Jewel’s face grew more sullen. She was not good at pleasing others, so it seemed like she was being forced to do it when she spoke in a relatively good manner. “Christina, why do you sound like you’re questioning your enemy? We’re family.

However, Christina did not buy it. “Family? Yet you told someone to push me into the pool?”

Jewel’s delicate face became contorted. This b*tch! Who does she think she is? Why do I need to humble myself in front of her?

Both of them fell silent for a while. The air around them seemed to freeze when their gazes met,

It took Jewel a while to calm down and stop herself from cursing. She then took the gift bag next to her and handed it over.

“Your clothes are all wet. Get changed and leave. Nathaniel is waiting for you at the entrance” As soon as she finished her words, she left in a huff.

Nathaniel had called Jewel earlier to warn her that he would break her leg if something happened to Christina.
