A Complicated Romance Chapter 29
John did contribute to the decision of the bidding as well, but he would not have told that to Sophia. The moment Sophia heard it was a decision made by the city council, there was nothing she could do so she just ended the phone call with resentment. When Serena heard the news, she quickly rushed back home too. The moment she entered the house, she asked, “Mom, Michael didn’t win the bid. So what now?”Sophia replied harshly, “We’ll discuss it when your father returns home.”“Mom, could you find someone who has better connections? Maybe we can still make a change!” Serena was pacing back and forth anxiously. Serena made a guarantee to the Larson family saying that as long as her father was there, they would definitely win the project. Now that everything had turned into a disaster, Serena did not know how to give an explanation to her future mother-in-law. “Serena, don’t panic. I just called and asked. Your father’s not in a good mood. Even if you were to call again, it woul

John felt burdened about this. Both girls were his biological daughters and he did not want to let go of either one of them. Therefore, he just kept trying to convince Christina. Later on, Christina suddenly disappeared. John freaked out and sent a lot of people to search for her. He found out later that she ran away to her uncle Francis’s house. John sent someone to bring her home but she refused and would never accept Serena and Sophia. Finally, Christina moved out from the Garcia family by changing her address and changing her last name to ‘Williams’. John felt pity towards her but he could not do anything and could only agree to it. Ten years later, she completely ended her relationship with the Garcia family and never stepped foot into the house ever since. John was busy electing to be the Mayor during that time so he did not have much time to handle his family matters and only made time occasionally to see her. Christina had a stubborn personality. She would lock the

Matthew had successfully obtained the old town redevelopment project and Christina’s attitude toward John was not as cold as before, considering that she even agreed to have dinner with him.John drove her back home after their meal. Yet when they passed by the old town’s alley, all he could see was its filthy and gloomy environment while his other daughter was living in a bright and huge mansion. He felt really guilty.“Christina, this place is about to be demolished. Why don’t… you come back?”Bang.Christina slammed the door shut. “I won’t go back.”She was initially in a good mood, but her face changed immediately upon hearing what he said.John got out of the car, chased after her, and stopped in front of her. “Christina, I did something wrong back then, which I’ve regretted for many years and I’ve paid the price. Christina, I’m old; I can’t wait any longer. Please forgive me.”“You must pay the price if you did something wrong. I’ll never forgive you.” She sneered before s

The national anti-corruption policies were stern. Hence if the Mayor dared to have an affair or harassed a maiden, all it needed was for everything to be uploaded onto social media and he would be dead in the blink of an eye! He would be dead as a doornail even, with no chance to turn things around!Even if Matthew could not win against him head-on, it would not be difficult for him to take him down. Director Carter was the best example!Christina was shocked when she heard Matthew’s words. Did Matthew know about John’s previous affair?Was he that well-connected? Then, did he know about her relationship with John?John brought Sophia and Serena back home after Christina’s mother passed away. At first, she thought he wanted to marry Sophia and adopt Serena as his stepdaughter.Only later did she realize that Serena was John’s biological daughter. Moreover, Serena was the same age as her and their age difference was only a few months apart!John had been cheating. All these years

“Be honest with me. John is so old, what’s good about him? Why do you want to be with him?”Christina was fuming with anger. “What the f*ck are you talking about?”“You’re pretending! So be it!” Matthew then took out his phone and played a video. “I’ve recorded everything. He’ll be screwed in an instant if this video is out on the internet!”He had been thinking of a way to deal with Michael for the past few days, so now he felt at ease after having gotten the scoop on Michael’s father-in-law. Since John asked for it, he could not blame Matthew for being harsh to him.Matthew showed the video to Christina, full of himself. “What now? You still don’t want to admit it?”Christina was so angry that she wanted to throw his phone away. “Matthew, you… how can you be so cruel?”Matthew may be a rich brat and a good for nothing, but in her eyes, Matthew was smarter than everybody else. He was clever and ruthless; better than anybody when it came to playing tricks behind somebody’s back.

“Matthew, you can’t bite the hand that feeds you. I’m warning you. Don’t push your luck!”“Christina, if you promise to be my girlfriend, then I won’t say a thing about it.”“Are you out of your mind, Matthew?”“Yes, Christina, I have lovesickness. It has gotten very critical and only you can save me.”Matthew beamed and changed the topic. “You know, I’m a blabbermouth. It will be hard to tell when I will spill your secret. However, if you become my girlfriend, that means your family scandal will be mine. Then, I’ll button up my lip and not a word about it will slip!”Christina was even more irritated by this rich brat’s half-hearted attitude, but chasing women was an exception. He would not stop until he reached his goal, and he was a hard nut to crack for girls!“Matthew, you only want me to become your girlfriend because you found out that I’m John’s daughter?”“No!” He declined instantly. “I’m obsessed with you, Christina. You know, I’m more vulnerable to prettier ladies.”

That night, Sophia immediately brewed John some tea when he returned home, while Serena stood beside the couch and gave him a massage.“Dad, what’s with the old town redevelopment project?”As John was preparing to have some tea, he stopped. “What’s the matter?”Sophia knew how impatient her daughter was, so she quickly explained on her behalf, “John, the Larson family has prepared for this project for a long time, but they did not get selected. They questioned Serena, and since she was anxious, she came to ask you about it.”John sneered as he put the cup down on the coffee table. “The Larsons asked you to give them reasons? Don’t they know that the project is handled personally by the city council himself? Why did they look for you but not the city council?”He had a bad impression of the Larsons, especially after his meeting with Christina. He felt quite annoyed when he heard their names, he did not care how harsh his words were.With such a harsh reply, Serena panicked and di

After the lecture, Serena went back to her room and started to cry. She felt wronged.“Mom, why is Christina the only one in dad’s heart even after she has left home for so many years? He never thinks of me, and now, how do you want me to explain to Aunty Heather?”“Are you that useless?” Sophia stared at her daughter. “What did I teach you? A woman needs to suffer for a little before she can be outstanding. You call that suffering?”“Mom, I don’t think dad treats us right. I just don’t understand why it is always about Christina!”“Serena, cancel your marriage with the Larsons if you can’t even take such a small hit. Even if you’re married to him, they will chase you out!” Sophia scolded in a stern voice.“Mom, you're not helping me?”“You know the Larsons were harsh to Christina. If you can’t stand your father’s words, then what are you going to do when you’re with them? Every one of them is like a devil.”“I…” Serena had nothing to say. After all, John’s scolding was nothing
