Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 75

Bang!

The cup fell to the floor and shattered, the hot water spilling over Christina’s high heels.

“Mom, what are you doing?”

Nathaniel picked Christina up in his arms and took off her shoes, revealing her fair feet that were burned red.

“Bring me the first aid kit,” he ordered coldly.

The housekeeper didn’t dare to delay and immediately ran off to fetch the first aid kit.

At this moment, Julia was truly angry. Sensing the tense atmosphere, the socialites nearby didn’t dare to hang around either.

Instead, they quickly found an excuse and hurried off.

Julia watched as Nathaniel applied medicine to Christina’s feet, feeling even more upset. “There are so many people here. Look at what your wife just said to me. She has no manners!”

“It was obviously you who intended to bring other people along to bully her together.” Nathaniel continued applying medicine to Christina’s feet, feeling fortunate that the injury was not serious.

Christina hung her head, finally understanding why Julia insisted on her coming back.

It was Julia’s opportunity to combine forces with others to humiliate Christina.

“What have I done to bully her? Did I say anything wrong? Forget the fact that she hasn’t gotten pregnant despite being with you for so long, she’s also just working all the time and doesn’t really bother about taking care of you. What’s the point of such a daughter-in-law?”

Julia glared fiercely at Christina as though the two of them had a blood feud.

Nathaniel placed Christina’s hands on his shoulders and then lifted her off the couch. “Let’s go.”

“Did I say you could leave? You really have no manners at all.” Julia knew it was pointless to lecture Nathaniel, so she turned to Christina instead. “Nathanjel may not know better, but shouldn’t you, as his wife, have some sense?”

Christina bit her lip, wriggling slightly to get down from Nathaniel’s embrace, but the man’s strong arms did not allow her to resist.

Struggling in vain, she then said, “Mrs. Hadley, as you can see, it’s not that I’m being unreasonable. It’s your son who’s being unreasonable and forcing me to act this way.”

Julia was so angry that her cheeks were trembling. “Christina, get lost! I despise uncouth, ill-mannered women like you!”

How I regret bringing this seductive vixen into my home! Look at how infatuated my son is with her now. This is infuriating!

Unable to hold back her exasperation, Christina gritted her teeth as she replied, “Well, isn’t it a

coincidence then, as I don’t like you either!”

Nathaniel walked out of the Hadley residence, cradling Christina, who was like a feral kitten, in his

arms.

Behind her, Julia’s angry grumbling and cursing could still be heard.

“Even without Xandra, I would never approve of you as my daughter-in-law. There are so many other distinguished young ladies for me to choose from!”

“Mrs. Hadley, don’t be upset, and don’t bother arguing with that ignorant brat,” said the housekeeper, Helen, supporting Julia as they walked inside. “Next week, we have a ball to attend. Why don’t we go and pick out some clothes?”

Helen knew that Julia loved dressing up, and seeing beautiful clothes would instantly lift her spirits.

The two of them entered the walk-in closet together, where there were nearly thousands of dresses in various styles hanging inside. There were dresses of all price ranges, including limited edition ones.

Julia searched the whole place but couldn’t find anything suitable, which made her mood even worse.

“Can you help me contact Vivian? I’d like to ask Ada to design a new gown for me.”

Helen quickly agreed, “I heard that Ms. Ada is very talented and a rising star in the design industry. Last time, Ms. Jones asked her to design a gown for her, and Ms. Jones certainly stole the spotlight the night she wore the dress.”

Julia is a very prideful person who could not stand others stealing her spotlight.

“You must bring me Ada!”

“Yes, Mrs. Hadley!”

The car slowly headed toward Christina’s grandmother’s house. Christina tilted her head, looking at the scenery outside, and got lost in thought for a moment.

How long does a relationship that is not favored by one’s family usually last?

Recalling the words of those people earlier, Christina fell silent for a moment before speaking. “Nathaniel, let’s get a divorce!”

The moment her words fell, the car came to an abrupt stop.

Christina almost fell due to not being seated securely. She turned to look at the person in the driver’s seat. The man’s dark eyes were filled with gloom, appearing especially cold and distant.
