Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65

The ear–piercing sound of things being thrown around could be heard from the large screen that hadn’t been switched off.

Xandra was so upset that she crushed the object to pieces with a stomp of her foot and threw the thermos flask in her hand.

“I didn’t, Xandra. Believe me. I only gave it to the editor,” Iris pleaded with a sobbing voice.

“How could she have gotten the original video, then? This is pissing me off!” Xandra couldn’t understand how Christina managed to get her hands on the original video.

The edited video was so perfect that no one could tell it had been altered. Xandra had been sure that there was no way Christina could turn things around this time.

“Hurry up and post an announcement stating that the video of Christina is fake. Then, find a competent editor to release a video proving that Christina’s video is fake, and claim that the cat abuse incident was fabricated by Christina. I can’t lose the endorsement of the Animal Protection Society. It’s crucial to my public image,” Xandra huffed, sitting in the chair.

She had been in the industry for so long without hiring an agent because her public relations skills were far more effective than those of an average agent.

Iris sniffled. “Xandra, do you think we’ll be found out?”

“What will they find out? Those netizens are so stupid. Just saying a few words can arouse their sympathy. And those fans are completely brainless. They believe whatever I say.”

Xandra felt extremely annoyed. The mere thought of having to face those mindless fans filled her with irritation.

Iris hummed in response and then ran out.

In the hall, the live broadcast was still ongoing at this moment. Not only the people present, but also the hundreds of people in the live room had heard Xandra’s words loud and clear.

Xandra has just shown the world what it means to have a beautiful appearance but an ugly heart. How could she say that the netizens are stupid and the fans are brainless? It’s surprising that she is loved and respected by so many people when in fact she doesn’t appreciate the love others have for her. Such idols are simply an insult to their fans!

Nathaniel led Christina out of the venue, no longer concerned about how things would unfold, knowing that Xandra’s image as a big star had definitely been ruined.

The two of them got into the car. Christina glanced sideways at his incredibly handsome face. “Was it you who bribed Iris for the recording?”

She had only contacted the person to play the original video without colluding with Iris.

It was quite clear that the conversation earlier was orchestrated by Iris.

Xandra could never have imagined that she would be betrayed by Iris.

Nathaniel propped his chin with one hand. “Her boss is about to be blacklisted. I’m just trying to help her earn a bit more before her job ends. Moreover, when killing an enemy, it’s best to finish them off in one go and not give them a chance to make a comeback.”

A cold, calm voice traveled into Christina’s ears, and she nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder Nathaniel dominates the business world and no one dares to provoke him. Relying on his set of experiences, he has led Hadley Corporation to become a leader in the industry.

He reached out, pulling Christina into his embrace, and rested his forehead against hers.

“I’ve done you a huge favor. Shouldn’t there be some kind of reward?”

A pair of deep, captivating eyes met Christina’s gaze, causing her heartbeat to soar uncontrollably. “Um… Thank you?”

“Not enough. At least give me something substantial.”

As soon as he said that, he planted his lips against her and gently savored her.

A surge of scorching heat flooded into Christina’s mind, momentarily leaving her dazed by the captivating man before her.

The car stopped at the entrance of Scenic Garden Manor.

Christina returned and immediately called Gina to explain the situation. If everything went as expected, she should be able to return to the set tomorrow.

The director personally called her later, asking her to return to the set. Before hanging up, he also asked her to pass on his regards to Nathaniel.

After all this time, things had finally settled down.

Christina was in a good mood. She wanted to share the great news with Nathaniel.

“Mr. Hadley has been eating spicy food recently. His eating habits have become irregular as he’s been busy with your matters, Mrs. Hadley, which is why he’s suffering from gastric,” Sebastian grumbled.
