Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth

Chapter 592

Chapter 592 Do You Like Me

When it came to being ruthless and merciless, Christina was no match for Nathaniel.

Christina had tested Sharon multiple times after the Steele family’s bankruptcy. From then on,

Nathaniel had already guessed that Christina would forgive Gideon one day.

“Nathaniel, I can tell that my mom still can’t forget about Gideon even though he mistreated her in the

past,” Christina said. “Now that so many things have happened and Gideon has changed so much, I

believe he truly wants to reconcile with my mom. But I can’t stop feeling afraid. I’m scared that I can’t

judge people accurately and would burden my mom again.”

Nathaniel consoled her, “Your judgment isn’t flawed, Christina. Your mother loves you dearly and has

never held any grudges toward you. Why don’t you have an open and honest conversation with her?

Since this is her relationship, we should respect her choice.”

Tears welled up in Christina’s eyes as she nodded gratefully. “Thank you, Nathaniel.”

Nathaniel gently wiped away her tears with his fingers and pinched her cheek. “Give them some time

alone. Let me take you back to Scenic Garden Manor first.”

Smiling through her tears, Christina said. “Okay.”

On their way back to Scenic Garden Manor, Christina began to feel drowsy again.

Suddenly, a car veered from the right lane and crashed toward them.

Gritting his teeth, Sebastian turned the steering wheel. The two cars narrowly avoided a collision. The

Maybach swerved off the road before finally coming to an abrupt halt on the sidewalk.

The other car, however, wasn’t as fortunate. It crashed into a nearby shop after colliding with a

barricade!

Throughout the ordeal, Nathaniel shielded Christina in his arms. However, the inertia caused by the

sudden braking had caused her stomach to collide with his abdomen.

Christina winced in pain, her face turning pale. She leaned against Nathaniel’s chest and gripped his

collar with both hands.

Nathaniel’s expression changed as he asked in concern, “Christina, where does it hurt?”

Clutching her stomach, Christina took a deep breath and squeezed out a strained smile. “It’s nothing. I

accidentally hit my stomach. It doesn’t hurt that much now.”

Nathaniel insisted sternly. “I’m taking you to the hospital!”

Sebastian’s immediate reaction upon alighting from the car was to check on both of them. When he

heard Christina mention that her stomach hurt, he became worried. “Mr. and Mrs. Hadley, I’ll call an

ambulance right away.”

Nathaniel carried Christina out of the car. She looked at Sebastian and assured him. “I’m really fine.

Don’t worry. After we return to Scenic Garden Manor, just get the family doctor over to conduct a

check-up. We should deal with this accident first.”

As she spoke, she stared at Nigel who was striding over briskly. blocked his path.

“Christina, you heartless b*tch! Anya’s your cousin! How dare you extort eight million from your own.

family member? You will pay for this!”

Drawn by the spectacle, the passersby flocked around them and even started to film them.

Nigel, who had always been so conscious of his image, was clinging to Christina like a madman.

He was doing it on purpose.

His aim was to deliberately cause an accident and create trouble for Christina in public.

Since he did not know how to deal with Christina, he would pressurize her by unleashing the power of

public opinion against her. Once the situation escalated, it would not only tarnish the Hadley family’s

reputation but also leave Christina with no choice but to unconditionally release Anya. To conceal this

scandal, the Hadley family would even compensate him with a large sum of money.

Those strong emotions consumed Nigel, causing him to cast his dignity and reputation aside.

Radiating an intimidating aura, Nathaniel firmly protected Christina in his arms and prevented the

cameras from capturing her face.

“Sebastian, call the police!”

Realizing they should not stay there any longer, he left in a cab with Christina.

When Nigel saw that Nathaniel was leaving with Christina, he shoved Sebastian away with all his

might. Dragging his injured leg behind him, he chased after the cab that was zooming away. His furious

roars reverberated across the wide street.

“Let Anya go, Christina!”

“That’s enough, Mr. Gibson!” Sebastian rushed forward and pinned Nigel to the floor. “Think about how

you’re going to save yourself.”

Glaring at Sebastian, Nathaniel shouted, “Why? Is Nathaniel going to kill me for Christina’s sake? She C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

kidnapped my daughter, Anya! The Hadley family is covering for a criminal! They are the ones who

have done me wrong!”

At that moment, the police arrived. They brought Sebastian and Nigel to the police station.

After returning to Scenic Garden Manor with Christina, Nathaniel promptly arranged for the family

doctor to conduct a thorough examination. While he anxiously awaited Christina’s examination results,

he instructed his subordinates to bail Sebastian out of the police station.

Sebastian was soon released after providing his statement.

Victoria leaned against the car door, her arms crossed. With a lollipop in her mouth, she stared at

Sebastian as he emerged from the police station. Likewise, he spotted her.

“What brings you here, Ms. Lesley?“ Sebastian’s heart started pounding

Victoria waved the car keys in her hand and said unashamedly. “I’m here to pick up my boyfriend. You

got a problem with that?”

Sebastian looked at Victoria in surprise. He couldn’t help but think about Nigel, who was being

interrogated. He exclaimed in fury, “What’s great about a bald old man like Nigel? What do you like

about him? Why are you willingly submitting yourself to him?”

Victoria was momentarily stunned. When she realized what he was talking about, her anger surged.

Sebastian, that blockhead! Is he suspecting that there’s something going on between Nigel and me?

My taste in men isn’t that eccentric, okay? Nigel doesn’t deserve me!

However, when she noticed Sebastian’s fury, she quickly regained her composure. Lifting his chin

playfully, she teased. “Are you jealous?”

Sebastian swiftly swatted her hand away. “You must sever ties with Nigel. He is a manipulative man

with questionable ethics. Since he has already crossed Mr. Hadley’s boundaries, he won’t be let off the

hook so easily.”

Victoria beamed with joy, barely able to suppress her urge to hug Sebastian and kiss him deeply.

However, she restrained herself. She must seize this rare opportunity and make him reveal his

innermost thoughts.

“I can’t do that. If I break up with him, I’ll lose a rich boyfriend. Will you compensate me for my loss?”

“You don’t need money given your family background! You’ve got other pursuers too. Why must you.

confine yourself by being with this hopeless nutcase?“

Victoria suddenly grasped Sebastian’s shoulders and pressed him against the car door. Standing on

tiptoes, she gazed at him suggestively. “You said that I’ve got many pursuers. Do you like me, then?”

It was only then that Sebastian realized he had unknowingly dug his own grave. His expression of

anger gradually gave way to a look of embarrassment. Victoria’s passionate gaze left him utterly

flustered.

"I… "

Victoria felt frustrated. Acting decisively, she placed her hands on Sebastian’s shoulders and kissed his

lips. domineeringly. Before she moved away, she even bit his lips.

“You’re so dumb, Sebastian! Why on earth do I like an oblivious blockhead like you?”
