Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 352

The studio was on the fifteenth floor of an office building in the city center.

An enthusiastic Granatanolan lady was at the reception counter when Christina walked in. As soon as the former lifted her gaze, she recognized the latter.

The woman politely welcomed Christina and greeted her in fluent Granatanolan, “Where did you go, Christina? I thought you wouldn’t come back again.”

Everyone at the studio knew Christina was back in her home country to hold a fashion show. However, she did not return to the studio even after several months had passed, and neither did anyone manage to reach her. Naturally, everyone thought she had found a new job.

Christina smiled. “How can that be? This studio is partially my blood, sweat, and tears too.”

Having stayed abroad for many years, she had placed almost her entire fashion career in that studio. She was not someone who would give up easily.

“Where’s Yosef?” she asked.

“Mr. Gunther is inside. You can head in.”

– Christina walked into the studio with Nathaniel. The furnishing and decorations inside radiated artistic

vibes, and she even spotted her own artwork.

Meanwhile, Yosef was in the middle of a meeting with a famous designer in the conference room.

However, the atmosphere was not too great.

As Christina knocked on the door and entered, she met with the grumpy gazes of the two who had just argued.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

The famous designer loosened his floral necktie. “Ask Yosef yourself. He says he wants to sell the studio.”

“What? You want to sell the studio?” Christina’s face fell almost instantaneously.

When they first started the studio, they promised each other they would become the most renowned brand in the fashion industry. We’ve put so much effort and energy into it. How can we possibly bear to sell it just

like this?

A grim look clouded Yosef’s face. From the way he pursed his lips and scrunched his brows, it was evident. he was worried over the matter.

Christina stood between the two and remarked, “I know our studio’s reputation has been negatively affected because of the imitation clothing incident. But we can clarify the truth, release a statement, or move the hearts of our customers with higher quality works, isn’t it?”

She did not see the need to sell off the fruit of their many years of hard labor just because of a minor setback.

Yosef turned to the other designer and asked the latter to leave as he had something to say to Christina privately.

Before that designer left, he lightly patted her shoulder and spoke in less fluent Chanacan, “Try to convince him.”

As the door shut, Christina shifted her gaze toward Yosef. “Can you tell me the reason now?”

Yosef’s brows furrowed together. “Christina, I’m in a dilemma too. I received a call from Sebastian this morning saying that he wants to buy the studio. I objected, but he used my parents’ safety to threaten me.”

That news struck Christina like a bolt from the blue, leaving her utterly bewildered.

Before she even uttered a word, a series of loud noises rang out in front of her.

When Christina finally registered what she just heard, she saw Nathaniel’s punch had landed on Yosef’s lower jaw. Howling in pain, the latter staggered a few steps back and clumsily leaned on the desk to stop. himself from falling.

“What are you doing, Mr. Bodyguard!” Christina regained her senses and immediately went up to push Nathaniel aside.

“That’s slander!” Nathaniel spat through gritted teeth.

True enough, he had instructed Sebastian to work on the acquisition, but he would never use someone’s life to threaten Yosef. It was clear that Yosef was lying.

Christina ignored him and turned to look at Yosef. “Are you all right? Let’s go to the hospital and have a check.”

The metallic scent of blood spread in Yosef’s mouth, and streaks of blood occasionally seeped from the corner of his mouth. Wrath was apparent in his eyes as he glowered at the blonde man before him. Why does this man feel more and more like Nathaniel the longer I look at him?
