Besides, even if the plan failed, intentionally causing a pregnant woman to miscarry was not considered homicide by the country’s criminal law. The punishment was less serious as the behavior would be categorized as an assault occasioning bodily harm.Assault and criminal homicide were two completely different crimes.Rachel agreed to the suggestion. Scarface was indeed a ruthless man. He came up with this vicious revenge that would put Christina in pain forever.Upon agreeing on the details of the plan, Scarface and his friends from the streets proceeded to kidnap Christina. Rachel and Serena were told to sit tight and wait for the good news.Scarface had a well-thought-out plan and got his hands on Christina before long. Her head was covered with a black cloth as they forcefully pushed her into the van.Serena and Rachel were already at the agreed-upon location when Scarface instructed Christina to step out of the vehicle. The latter’s belly was round, and both of her hands were
In fact, Matthew was the one who planned this entire thing. He had been keeping a close eye on Rachel since she returned.He could let bygones be bygones if she was willing to settle down. However, the woman did not learn from past mistakes and once again partnered up with Serena to plot against Christina.Matthew went along with their plan. He even found someone to set this up to lure them into the trap.Christina’s due date was approaching after Rachel and Serena were taken care of. Michael began making preparations for Travis’ transplant operation.He hired the best hematologist and gynecologist before arranging for both Christina and Travis’ operation to take place in the same hospital.The delivery went smoothly. Christina gave birth to a baby girl, and Heather was over the moon.Everything had gone well, and it was about time to start on Travis’ operation. Christina was accompanied by Matthew and Rachel whereas Heather stayed close by the baby’s side. Michael comforted Chri
“What did you say?”The woman’s words rang in her ears like a crackle of thunder.Seeing how shocked Christina Williams was, the woman curled her lips into a smirk as she repeated herself slowly. “I’m pregnant with Michael Larson’s child.”“Impossible!” Christina said in disbelief.“Hah!” The woman scoffed as she threw over a piece of paper to Christina. “See for yourself. I’m already three months pregnant.”Her eyes scanned through the medical report and Christina’s heart ached as she felt an unexplainable hollowness in it.She recognized the signature next to the report. It was Michael’s handwriting. Christina’s whole world came crashing down that instance. She could not hear what was going on around her as fury flashed underneath her eyes.Losing control herself, Christina gave the woman a big slap across the face. “You shameless b*itch! You’re just the same as your mom, aren’t you? I’m going to kill you!”“Stop! What are you trying to do Christina? ” Heather Sunderland, h
A car sped down the road as a man sat at the back. Proposal in hand, the man furrowed his eyebrows as he paid attention to what he was reading.It had been some time since the Larson Corporation was interested in the development project of an old town.It so happened to be that Christina Williams’ home was one of the houses that stood within that area. Staring at the blueprint, Michael Larson scanned through the housing areas labeled in red as flashbacks tranced through his mind.As the car accelerated, a familiar figure by the roadside caught his eye. The corner of his eyes glinted and he straightened his back. “Stop the car!”Shocked, the driver hit the brakes as the car came to an immediate halt. “Is everything okay, President Larson?”Michael stared into the crowd of people as he felt his chest tighten. A moment passed before he let out an awkward laugh. “Nothing, I must’ve been mistaken.”He knew that it could not possibly be her. Her hatred towards him was so deep that sh
It was 5:00 p.m. in the afternoon.As if things were not bad enough that Christina Williams wore shades, she was dressed in cheap office wear for such an important occasion. Matthew Henderson kept his thoughts to himself as resisted the urge to kick her off the car.“Are you planning to wear this outfit to dinner?”Embarrassed, Christina gulped. "It's all I’ve got!”Letting out a snort, his face darkened as he got down the car and strode towards the shopping complex.Confused, Christina followed tightly, dragging her luggage behind her as she tried not to lose sight of the man.Matthew headed straight for the women’s department in the shopping complex. Seeing that he had stopped, she took a sigh of relief as she wiped off her sweat. Just as she was about to take a seat, the man’s voice rose. “Come here. What do you think of this dress?”“Looks good!” Christina replied without hesitation.“Try it on then.”Somewhat startled, she did not know how to react but to shake her head
Serena Garcia found herself in a difficult position. Christina Williams had always mocked her from the start and had occasionally made her look bad too.Although Christina had been kicked out of the Larson family, she was still as feisty as she used to be. Now that Serena has become Michael Larson’s new girlfriend, Christina was still relentless when she spoke to her, without a slight hint of respect.Standing next to her was Wendy Cohen. Trying to become an upper-class woman, Wendy relied on Serena to be a part of the rich. In return, Wendy backed Serena up whenever she bumped into tough situations like this.“Serena only took you as her sister because she’s a nice person. If it were another person, they probably would’ve struck you across the face by now.” A loud smack could be heard just as her voice trailed off. Marks from the slap begun to show on her face as a tingling sensation spread across her cheeks.Wendy was stunned. Absorbing what had happened, rage overtook her as s
Matthew Henderson wanted to meet his new girlfriend but found it hard to leave. Dinner had long passed yet John Garcia did not want to let Christina Williams go. With a mirthless smile stamped on his face, Matthew walked over. “Thank you so much for your adoration towards my assistant, Mayor John, but I’m afraid that she has to leave soon. You see, she still has to run a few errands for me tonight.”John Garcia was not a stupid man. Judging from Matthew’s sarcastic tone, he instantly knew that Matthew had misunderstood the situation. Giving a bitter laugh, John moved away from Christina. “Let me know if you ever need my help, President Henderson.”Obtaining the green light from the mayor was supposed to be a good thing and Matthew was supposed to be happy about it. Somehow he was the total opposite of that now. Thinking about how the mayor had been interested in the four-eyed girl, a gush of disgust overflowed him as he tried not to throw up. He gave a cold reply. As he rushe
“Is that so?” Sophia smiled gently and softly. “How’s Christina now?”John sighed. “She looks like she’s having a hard time.” “She still hates you, right? Is it our fault that we dragged you down, John.”“Don’t say such a thing.” He sat straight on the couch. “Christina didn’t hate me as she did before, and she even eats the food that I offered her!”Sophia's smiley expression did not change. “Then why didn’t you bring her back? I haven’t seen her for such a long time.”“It’s not the right timing, and she’s still harboring anger. I’ll do it slow and steady.”His expression was heavy. “Sophia, you must show more care toward her when she’s back home, you must be considerate even if she has a bad attitude.”“Don’t worry. I understand.”He looked at his daughter again. “Serena, Christina has suffered a lot all these years. You need to compromise and not fight with her, and you must be patient with her bad temper.”Serena nodded. “I understand, daddy.”Sophia wanted to say someth
