Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 492

Anya paused in her tracks, her face as black as thunder. “How dare you little b*astards tell on me!”

She would have taught the two kids a lesson if Azure weren't present.

Lucas and Camila squirmed into Azure's arms and sobbed piteously, “Great-Granny, save us!” Azure protected the two young kids and chastised, “Anya, you shouldn't be so hard on them. They're just kids. You're so much older than them.”

“Grandma!” Anya was so apoplectic that she could almost feel steam coming out of her ears.

Her room was in such a terrible mess that it had practically become a huge garbage dump.

“Grandma, Christina was the one who told them to mess up my room. How could you still take their side?”

Seeing red, she felt like she was on the verge of cardiac arrest.

Lucas made a face at her and harrumphed, “We wouldn't have messed up your room if you hadn't purposely tripped my mommy. You're the bad guy here. I was merely avenging her.”

“Great-Granny, she intentionally tripped Mommy and almost caused me to fall too. She's evil, so you have to chase her out!” Camila complained with a pout.

Azure frowned upon hearing that. “Anya, you've gone overboard. How could you hurt others for fun?”

Anya's face turned pale as she was rendered speechless from fury. In an instant, she went from being the victim to being the perpetrator.

Azure sighed lightly and carried both children downstairs. “Don't be afraid. Great-Granny is here. | will protect you. I prepared some delicious desserts for you. Let's have some, shall we?”

Lucas and Camila nodded cheerfully with their hands wrapped around Azure's neck. “Sure! Let's go and finish all the snacks! We won't be leaving any for that nasty woman.” Anya glared at the two rascals and gritted her teeth.

I shall see how long that arrogance can last.

Christina brought her two children back to the hotel after dinner.

Nathaniel had been working alone in the hotel for the entire day.

Lucas and Camila were deadbeat after such a long day and fell asleep promptly after Christina gave them a bath. Christina emerged from the bathroom with her waist-long dark hair hanging loose. Her fair skin, which was scrubbed clean under the warm shower, glowed with a pearlescent sheen under the hotel's light.

“Are you not done yet?” She approached Nathaniel after drying her hair.

Nathaniel put down his pen and pulled her into his arms. “Just in time.”

“Did you take good care of the flash drive I passed to you?” Christina voiced her concern.

Nathaniel inclined his head. “Of course. Do you need it now?” Christina shook her head. The flash drive will be safer with him compared to me.

“This is a good chance for us to gain leverage over Anya. Once we expose all of her crimes tomorrow, I'll have had my revenge!” she uttered seriously.

“T can't wait to see everything unfold tomorrow.”

The following day, the morning sunlight crept into the room through the curtains.

Christina got ready to head to the company after having breakfast with her two children.

She entrusted the kids to her reliable bodyguard before leaving. “You may send them to my grandmother's house. I've already informed her of your arrival, so she'll be waiting by the gate.”

Lucas and Camila lifted their heads and looked at their mother, asking curiously, “Mommy, aren't you coming with us?”

“I have some important matters to deal with. I'll pick both of you up once I'm done.” Christina ruffled their hair affectionately.

She took the flash drive from Nathaniel after the children departed with the bodyguard.

“Are you sure you don't need me to go with you?” Nathaniel was rather worried.

“Yes. I'll be fine with your most trusted bodyguards by my side. Don't worry.” Christina straightened his tie. Her eyes shone with determination and gentleness.

Nathaniel wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her forehead. “Get this over with quickly so we can have lunch together. It'll be just the two of us without the kids. I want to spend some quality time with you.”
