Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 436

Chrung had awkward look on her face when she saw the bowl of black liquid in front of her “Tll have char you guys are having Mom Nathaniel has been working really hard lately, so he needs this stuff more han I do

Hek. So the or what it takes for her to think of met

Nathaniel arched an eyebrow in response as he lifted his bowl and drank it all in one go.

Julia flashed him a satisfied smile and patted Christina on the back of her hand. “Don’t be silly. Christina! This is good for you!”

As such, Christina had no choice but to pinch her nose and down her serving of traditional medicine in one go. Despite its awful smell, it actually tasted somewhat sweet.

“Why don’t you two stay the night here instead?” Julia suggested.

“Yay’ We want to stay the night here and listen to Grandma’s stories!” Lucas and Camila exclaimed excitedly before Christina could even respond.

Seeing as the kids were incredibly enthusiastic about staying over, Christina agreed to it as well.

The two kids then had Julia read them stories after dinner. Since she didn’t get to spend time with them very often, she was more than happy to oblige.

Christina spent the rest of the evening editing a design drawing on her tablet. She was so engrossed in her work that it was already night before she knew it.

Suddenly, Yerck sent her a text message that read: Have you taken a look at the file I sent you?

The look in Christina’s eyes grew cold when she saw his message. Had he not brought it up, she would have completely forgotten about the news she saw a while back.

She then replied coldly Just get to the point. I don’t have time for your riddles.

Yerek texted almost instantly: Why don’t you ask Nathaniel?

Christina fell into deep thought after reading that message of his. Suddenly, Nathaniel opened the door and entered the room. Christina quickly closed the chat window and put the tablet away.

“Why are you still up?” Nathaniel asked.

Christina propped her chin up with one hand and gave it some thought before asking. “One of Hadley Corporation’s buildings collapsed about twenty years ago. Do you know anything about that incident?”

As the lighting was di where Nathaniel stood, half of his body was obscured by the shadow. “Yes, I do. One of our contractors was cutting corners, and the poorly-constructed building collapsed as a result. Hadley Corporation paid for the compensation afterward, he replied calmly as though it wasn’t something worth mentioning at all

His statement matched the information that Christina had found on the internet. “Oh, I see. I read an article about it online, so I just thought I’d ask you about it. Good night.”

She shoved her tablet into her handbag and climbed into bed after saying that.

Chapter 136 Spiting Christina On Purpose

The look in Nathaniel’s eyes turned gloomy as he watched her from where he stood.

The bed was empty by the time Christina woke up the next morning.

The butler told her when she went downstairs that Nathaniel had left the house very early that morning to take care of some business at work.

After having breakfast, Christina brought Lucas and Camila back to their condominium.

Nathaniel would head back to the condominium for lunch and dinner whenever he was free, but he would return to the office immediately after. He was so busy with work that he hardly stayed over.

Christina, on the other hand, worked on the gown that she needed to complete before the end of the

month.

She contacted Azure’s assistant and offered to bring the gown over so Azure could try it out. It didn’t take long for the assistant to make the arrangements and send a car over to pick her up.

The car pulled up outside Azure’s mansion about twenty minutes later.

Apart from Azure and the assistant, Christina saw a third person in the living room with them.

The woman seemed to be about the same age as Christina and had wavy hair that complemented her exquisite facial features. She was dressed like a princess and sat right next to Azure,

“I heard you ordered a new gown, Grandma! I came all the way here today just to help you judge it!” Anya Gibson said coquettishly.

“All right. I’ll try it on in a bit, Azure replied with a chuckle.
