Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 350

In the blink of an eye, a tall figure had stepped between Christina and Yosef.

“Please keep your distance,” growled Nathaniel in a deep voice.

Yosef was shocked as he did not recognize the tall, blonde man standing in front of him. “Who are you?

Embarrassed, Christina stepped forward and pulled the bodyguard away. “He was sent by Nathaniel. Don’t worry about it.”

Her expression darkened. The bodyguard was clearly trained by the Hadley family since his mannerisms reminded her of Nathaniel.

Yosef had been surprised to hear that Christina was allowed to go abroad. From what he had heard about Nathaniel, it seemed unlikely that he would have agreed to it.

It turns out that he has sent a bodyguard with her instead.

Seeing the bodyguard’s unfriendly and rather hostile demeanor. Yosef did not want to create a conflict, so he changed the subject. “I’ve booked a hotel for us. Let’s go check in.”

He walked over to Christina, intending to offer his help, but the bodyguard was one step ahead of him.

The bodyguard even threw him a warning glance.

Yosef was taken aback by his hostility. Isn’t he a bit too much?

The atmosphere turned awkward. At that moment, the bodyguard said in a cold voice, “Mr. Hadley has already booked a hotel. There’s no need for you to trouble yourself.”

Yosef could not recognize Nathaniel because the latter had deliberately lowered his voice.

Christina looked mortified. Again, she stepped between the two men to break their stare and said, “Let’s go then.”

When the three of them exited the airport, the hotel staff were already waiting for them at the gate, and they hurried over when they saw the three of them appear.

Soon, they arrived at the hotel and got themselves checked in.

“Mr. Bodyguard, could you help me carry my luggage up to my room? I’d like to have a chat with Yosef,” said Christina.

Nathaniel frowned. I followed her all the way here, and now, she wants me to leave so she can have a private chat with Yoseff

He lowered his voice and replied, “Mr. Hadley ordered me to stay by your side at all times, Mrs. Hadley.”

What he really meant was that there was no way he would agree to leave the two of them alone to talk.

His words confirmed to Christina that the bodyguard had been sent by Nathaniel to keep an eye on her. The thought filled her with disdain.

However, she could not berate the bodyguard out in public. Sighing, she resigned herself to her fate.

The three of them walked over to the hotel’s restaurant to have a meal.

Christina was concerned about the situation at the studio. As soon as she sat down, she asked, “Our designs have been kept strictly confidential. How can there be so many imitations?”

There were several types of imitation goods. Currently, the ones in the market were high quality and had copied every little detail, save for the manual needle embroidery.

Yosef’s brows furrowed. “I checked the design drawing, and it was indeed stolen. That’s how the imitators managed to make such a close replica.”

“Who stole it? Did you manage to catch the culprit?” Christina asked.

Just as Yosef was about to reply, a waiter approached their table bearing platters of food.

“Eat,” said Nathaniel in a commanding tone.

She hasn’t rested or eaten anything after getting off the plane and has been busy with Yosef up until now. What right does this punk have to cause Christina so much concern?

Christina frowned. “Mr. Bodyguard, if you’re hungry, you’re welcome to start eating first.”

Didn’t he see that I was in the middle of an important conversation? How rude of him to interrupt!

Nathaniel ignored Christina’s protest. He piled a plate with food and set it down in front of her.
