Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth

Chapter 112 Huge Loss

Ever since their days in the Hadley residence, Julia already knew that Christina did not know how to

swim. Despite that, she still pushed Christina into the water, revealing how furious she must have been

over the latter’s deceit.

“I asked her to design your outfit. Blame me if you have to,” said Nathaniel curtly before unbuttoning his

coat. He then tossed it aside and promptly dived into the pool to save Christina.

Seeing that the situation was worsening, Helen instructed the butler and the housekeepers to send the

guests away.

Meanwhile, Julia stomped back into the house angrily

The guests were soon brought away.

Nathaniel carried Christina, who was completely drenched. In such weather, she shivered when gusts

of wind blew past.

Wrapping two thick towels around them, the butler invited them back into the house.

The water on their body dripped all over the place. Cristina was so cold that she shivered vigorously.

With his heart aching, Nathaniel wiped her hair and instructed the butler, “Bring some hot tea over.”

“Understood,” said the butler. However, just when he turned around to leave, Julia warned sternly, “You

aren’t allowed to!”

“But Ms. Christina will catch a cold, Mrs. Hadley,” said the butler in a conflicted tone as he looked at

Christina’s frail body.

Sitting in the living room, Julia exuded such an intimidating aura that the housekeepers around her did

not even dare to breathe loudly.

If one looked closely, Julia had changed into a black gown after taking off the jasmine gown.

Casting a cold glance at Christina’s drenched body, the older woman did not think that Christina was

pitiable at all. “This is the Hadley residence, not the Scenic Garden Manor. Get lost with her.”

While Julia used to look down on Christina, it was obvious to everyone that she now hated the latter.

Madison was overjoyed when she saw that, although she did not understand why Julia hated being

lied. to so much. Nevertheless, with Christina having violated the older woman’s taboo, Madison was

sure that everything Christina did that might have left a good impression on Julia had now gone to

waste.

Walking toward Christina, Madison frowned anxiously and appeared to be regretful. “I’m sorry,

Christina. When I saw how much Mrs. Hadley liked the outfit that you designed, I thought she’ll see you

in a different light after finding out that you’re Ms. Ada… I really want to help improve you improve your

relationship with her. I definitely did not harbor any other intentions.”

She even made it sound like she was on the verge of crying when she reached the emotional part of

her speech.

Christina trembled in coldness. Her cheeks were ashen, and fury filled the depths of her watery eyes.

Improve our relationship? It’s obvious that this is all part of her plan! Otherwise, why would she have

out in public and arranged for Hannah from the studio to act as the witness? Her objective is to put Mrs.

Hadley in a difficult position in front of everyone else, making her hate me even more. What a

marvelous plan! She managed to force me into this pathetic state….

Christina glanced upward, her icy gaze landing on Mailison. “I know you have kind intentions, but

Hannah probably wasn’t included in Mrs. Hadley’s guest list, right? You must have a really wide social

network to be able to invite her.”

Madison’s expression changed drastically when she heard this. Although she had prepared all sorts of

refutations, she did not expect Christina to use Hannah against her.

After all, she had paid Hannah to act as a witness for Christina’s identity.

The situation became strange again, for Madison could not think of an excuse to rebuke Christina.

Rather than gloating silently, she was now worried about what Nathaniel would think of her.

At that moment, Helen brought out the two gowns that Julia had not worn yet. “What shall we do with

the gowns, Mrs. Hadley?”

Narrowing her eyes, Julia pursed her lips tightly and instructed in an icy tone, “Burn them in the

backyard.”

Helen wondered if she had misheard Julia.

These three gowns are Mrs. Hadley’s favorite gowns. She hasn’t even worn them yet! How can she

bear to burn them?

Christina’s heart skipped a beat. When she heard that her eyes reddened.

Nathaniel’s eyebrows knitted. Exuding a cold aura, he demanded, “Christina had so many sleepless

nights just to make these gowns for you. How can you burn them?”

Christina spent a lot of effort in order to complete the three gowns. Because of that, she did not even

return to Scenic Garden Manor to keep him company. Undoubtedly, she would be devasted to hear that

all that work would be burned to ashes.

Nathaniel could never bear to see her sad.

Julia’s face was so gloomy that it seemed like dark clouds loomed over it. When she saw how pained

Christina was, she felt happy. “I bought the gowns with my money. It’s none of your business what I do

with them.”

Gripping Christina’s thin shoulders tightly, Nathaniel could feel her trembling beneath his palms. “I’ll pay

you thrice the amount. Give me the gowns.”

“I’d rather burn them than give them to you. Why are you still standing there, Helen?” When Julia

glanced to the side coldly, Helen did not dare to delay it any further. Mumbling a response, the latter

swiftly walked out with two housekeepers.

Christina felt resentful. “Mrs. Hadley, you just don’t like me, right? This has nothing to do with the

gowns.”

Staring at her face, which was dripping with water, Julia revealed a cold smirk. “Of course, the gowns

have something to do with this. I don’t like anything associated with you!”

Christina would rather forgo the compensation than let the gowns which she had painstakingly made

be burned.

However, she no longer had any reason to get the dresses back. After Julia paid for them, they now.

belonged to her. Regardless of whether the older woman wanted to burn the dresses, give them to

others or do anything to them, Christina had no right to intervene.

Afraid that Christina would catch a cold, Nathaniel wrapped his towel around her and carried her in his

arms. “Let’s go back.”

After speaking, he turned around and left, not forgetting to glare at Madison coldly, his brooding gaze

piercing into the depths of her soul like a deadly arrow.

Madison felt like she had suffered a huge loss, even though she managed to exact some damage on

Christina. While Christina fell into her trap, Madison also dug her own grave.

Nathaniel walked out while carrying Christina. When Sebastian, who was waiting outside the door,

stepped forward, Nathaniel threw him an icy look from the side of his eyes.

Although Sebastian was standing outside, the voices indoors were so loud that he heard everything.

While Nathaniel continued walking out, Sebastian turned around and headed to the backyard.

The cold gusts of wind extinguished the matchsticks in the housekeeper’s hands as if they also

opposed the burning of the gowns.

Looking at the exquisitely made gowns, Helen felt reluctant to burn them. However, they did not dare to

defy Julia’s orders.

“Helen, please give me the gowns.” Sebastian walked over and stretched out his hand to take the

gowns.

“But Mrs. Hadley…” Helen felt troubled.

Sebastian grabbed the gowns without waiting for her response. “Don’t worry. If Mrs. Hadley continues.

to pursue this matter, say that Mr. Hadley took them. She won’t blame you.”

Helen was helpless to do anything. However, as she was genuinely reluctant to let such beautiful

gowns be destroyed, she allowed Sebastian to take them.

Sebastian then walked out of the door and placed the gowns in the trunk before getting into the car

It was almost midnight when they arrived at Scenic Garden Manor. Christina, who was wrapped in two

towels, went into the bathroom and soaked herself in warm water. Perhaps as she was too exhausted,

she fell asleep the moment she changed into her pajamas.

In the middle of the night, however, she started to feel uncomfortable.
