Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 619

So, she would never land in the trap.

For a moment, her courage seemed to have overflowed. Suddenly she reached out and took off the bracelet on her wrist.

Then, she gave it back under Christine’s surprised gaze.

“Mrs. Nixon, I appreciate your kindness. But I’m can’t be your goddaughter. You should take it back.”

Christine stood there dumbfounded.

Others were stunned, too.

Although they all resented Christine’s contemptuous manner,

they had to admit that there were countless women trying everything to marry a rich man like Max Nixon!

If Laura accepted the bracelet, she would earn the title of Mrs. Nixon’s goddaughter even if she could not marry Max in the end.

She could protect herself with this title from now on.

And Christine made the offer of her own accord, so there was no going back on it.

Surprisingly, however, Laura said no!

It meant that Laura turned down Christine in front of others!

Unless she could stay with Max in the end, Christine would certainly give her a hard time in the industry!

Now while everyone looked at Laura in sympathy,

Laura remained calm and undaunted.

A look of annoyance crossed Christine’s face.

She didn’t expect Laura to do this.

She gasped for air, with her chest heaving. Then she pointed at Laura and said, “Well, Laura, don’t expect Max to marry you!”

Laura said nothing.

Christine sneered, “I’m telling you. Even if he likes you, you can never marry him without my permission!”

“Who says she will marry me?”

A voice boomed out outside the door.

Everyone went from shock to surprise.

Max came back.

Max came in against the light in a black suit, grim-faced.

There was a distant look in Laura’s eyes.

Wasn’t he out?

He wasn’t here this morning. Why was he back?

Max came in with an angry face and stood in front of Laura.

Then he scowled at his mother, “mom, why are you here? I already told you that you can’t just barge in someone’s house whenever you like.”

Christine looked at her son in surprise and gave a reluctant smile.

“Max! What are you talking about? I’m your mother! I have every right to be here!”

Max furrowed his brow and gave Jim a look.

Jim lowered his head and dared not speak.

No joking here! How dare Jim get involved in a dispute between his boss and his mother?

He knew better than this.
