Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 576

Christina could still remember what Miranda was like when she met the latter at the mall half a year ago.

Back then, she looked like a lion who has been tamed, and she was fearful and anxious when she met me.

Even if Miranda was merely fighting back for Emilia's sake, the former had always been timid. Miranda wouldn't dare to act haughtily in front of Christina after hurting Sharon without someone backing her up.

The only logical explanation was that Miranda knew Christina couldn't harm her because someone else would help her get out of trouble.

“Emilia is still locked up, isn’t she?” Christina sneered.

“Perhaps I should send you there as well so that you guys can keep each other company for the rest of your lives.”

Hearing that, Miranda glared at Christina fiercely, as though she was venting her anger for someone else while looking at Christina's face.

Enraged, Miranda spat through gritted teeth, “You don't have evidence, Christina! I know you're married to Nathaniel, but you can't act however you want!”

Christina flashed a faint smile. “It's worth a try to sce what I'm capable of doing as Nathaniel’s wife, no? Let me remind you about something. Even if I can’t do or act however I like, I can still send Emilia and you to prison based on the crimes you guys committed. I don't even need to go through the trouble to find evidence.”

Upon hearing that, Miranda merely stared at Christina silently.

The atmosphere became tense after that. Victoria had mysophobia, so she hated the environment there.

Throughout the entire time, she stood outside the entrance with a hand covering her mouth and nose.

However, she was worried about leaving Christina there alone, so she stayed.

Right then, Victoria noticed that the conversation was going nowhere. Thus, she uttered in annoyance,

“Christina, why are you showing them mercy when they have never treated you right? Just do as I say and get someone to beat her up. In fact, you can even torture her. If you torture her, she'll definitely give in and tell you who the mastermind is.”

As soon as those words fell, Miranda sized Victoria up. The girl beside Christina is a glamorous girl dressed in expensive clothes. Seeing how domineering she 1s, I bet she’s a tough person to deal with. Obviously, Christina isn't in a good mood. What if Christina takes her suggestion and tortures me to make me talk?

Christina was pregnant, so she didn't want to act violently. Miranda loves Emilia dearly, so I should have leverage over her. If I play tt right, I'm sure Miranda will spill,

With that in mind, Christina uttered, “I'll give you ten minutes to think about it, Mdm. Weaver. If you don't

tell me who instructed you to find fault with my mother by saying that you wanted to borrow money from her to bail Emilia out, I'll get someone to send all the evidence to the police station. If I do that, you'll never see your daughter again.”

Christina wasn't lying to Miranda because she could prove the crimes Miranda and Emilia committed. I didn't expose them before this because the Steele family had already paid an equivalent price. I had to have a backup plan because there was a chance the Steele family would do something unimaginable when they were cornered.

Christina wanted to look after herself and Sharon.

Yet, Christina's kindness eventually came back to bite her and Sharon.

A look of panic flitted across Miranda's eyes, and she gritted her teeth. However, she was still reluctant to speak.

All of a sudden, Christina seemed to have remembered something. In an even colder tone, she questioned, “Wait... Why did you look for my mother when the grudge is between you guys and me? What are you guys planning to do?”

Miranda chuckled in response, and the look of fear in her eyes was replaced by utter arrogance. With a smirk, she stared at Christina and asked casually, “You're a smart woman, aren't you, Christina? Why don't we make a deal?”

Christina furrowed her brows.

Anxious, Victoria urged, “Christina, don't believe a word she says. There's a chance she doesn't know anything. She could be lying to you.”
