Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 56

The crowd around them began to murmur as they gossiped. Miranda’s expression was tense as she hissed, “Can you not talk about our family matters in public?”

The Steele family was a well-respected family. Moreover, Emilia was about to become a celebrity. If any gossip were to spread, her reputation might suffer

The corners of Christina’s lips were curled slightly as she narrowed her eyes. “Apologize to my mom now, and I’ll stop exposing your unsavory affairs.”

“You want me to apologize? Hah! Dream on!”

Realizing someone had taken out their phone to take pictures, Miranda shoved the person aside. wanting to leave the place immediately.

However, Christina grabbed Miranda’s arm with tremendous strength.

“You brat! I’m going to teach you a lesson on your dad’s behalf!” Miranda was not someone to be trifled with. She raised her hand and was about to hit Christina when the latter grabbed her wrist.

Boring her eyes into Miranda’s with a cold, piercing gaze, Christina snapped, “You’re just a mistress who kicked out the original wife. What gives you the right to teach me a lesson?”

Perhaps she was too mad that she did not realize how much strength she was exerting. Her grip on Miranda’s wrist grew tighter and tighter.

The sound of bones breaking sounded in the still air. Immediately, Miranda let out a cry and fell to her knees.

Only then did Christina let go of Miranda’s hand. “Things won’t end as easy as this if you come looking. for trouble with my mom again.”

With that, she flung Miranda’s hand aside and left.

Miranda was a prideful woman. After experiencing such humiliation, her anger ignited like flames fed with fuel.

Even the blood vessels in the whites of his eyes became visible. Christina, this isn’t over!

When Christina got home, she did not dare to tell Evelyn about her mother’s situation. Instead, she only informed Evelyn she would be very busy recently and needed to work overtime.

After that, Christina grabbed her work laptop and some papers before heading out.

Over the next few days, Christina constantly worried about the funds. One day during working hours. she received a call from Gideon.

“Get back here if you want money to cure your mother’s sickness!”

At that, Christina immediately applied for leave with Gina and returned to the Steele residence.

Sitting in the living room were Miranda, whose hand was in a cast, and a scowling Gideon.

Their expressions darkened even more when they saw Christina.

“You brat! Come over here and apologize right now!” Gideon growled.

Christina simply glared back at him with her lips sealed.

Seeing that, Gideon marched over and threw a kick. Even though Christina tried to dodge it, the attack. still landed on her calf.

A sharp pain shot through her leg, and her face paled. “I won’t cooperate if you don’t have any money to give me.”

Her cold expression nettled Gideon. Just as he was about to hit Christina, she slapped his hand. away.

“Of course, we have it. I’ve already helped you negotiate the amount you want. One agreement is worth fifty thousand. It all depends on how many you can get signed,” said Miranda while tossing the agreement onto the table.

What’s the meaning of this? Do they take me as a money-making tool?

Christina was utterly disgusted, and her eyes glinted coldly. “I’m not capable of earning this kind of money. You, on the other hand, seem to be quite experienced in this, Ms. Weaver. Maybe you could get someone richer than my dad?”

Miranda had met Gideon at a drinking party. She always hated it when someone brought up her sore points.

Meanwhile, Gideon felt utterly humiliated. He raised his fist and got ready to punch Christina. “You’ve only left home for a few days, and you’ve become so audacious. I’m going to teach you a lesson today!”

His powerful fist swung fiercely toward the frail figure.

At that moment, Christina’s heart pumped wildly. There’s no avoiding this.
