It was only then that Christina reacted. Michael was so lovely to Serena, and he even accompanied her to choose her wedding dress. Had he ever treated Christina right before?Michael must have heard what Ariel said just now, so he purposely came to question her.Christina’s heart turned cold, and she did not explain anything to him. When she was about to leave, Michael quickly grabbed her hand. “Serena is my fiancée. I won’t allow anybody to bully her.”She raised her head as she did not want to explain a thing to him. “Mr. Larson, please let go of my hand.”“Apologize to her!” The nails on his hand that he used to grab her were turning white. Christina’s eyes were cold, and it got on his nerves badly.After three years of absence, she could be so mean to him, and exactly how cold-hearted was she?Christina was irritated when she saw him. She had worked hard to forget about this man, but he frequently appeared in her life like a haunted ghost.She wanted to leave this city so ba

The manager was a little lost when he walked out of his office with the portfolio. Later, he went to complain about this to his colleagues from the secretary department. “What’s up with President Larson?”‘He signed the contract himself, and now he wanted to change it all of a sudden. How am I going to explain to them?’The others patted his shoulder and comforted him. “Don’t argue with the president. Just do the work.”Big trouble would ensue if the president was angered, and all his colleagues from the secretary department had experienced the most from it.The marketing manager returned to his office and phoned a friend from the broadcasting station to pass the message about Michael’s decision.Coincidently, the one friend from the broadcasting station who picked up the call was chasing Ariel. However, she despised him, and she even publicly embarrassed him. Hence, it was revenge time for him, and after he hung the phone. He went straight to the boss’ office and embellished the

Everybody in the private room started laughing. “This girl is daring, though!”Michael frowned as he grabbed her hand and went out of the private room, then he closed the door.In the corridor, Michael let go of her hand and said with a cold voice, “What do you want?”Christina stared at him and asked, “About Ariel, just what are you up to?”Michael ignored the hostility from her gaze. He leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lighted it. “She did something wrong, and of course, she needs to face the consequences. Anyhow, it’s a small punishment!”Christina took a step back and frowned a little. ‘He smokes?’She was disgusted with men that smoke and she disliked the smell of cigarettes. Michael told her that he had never smoked before, but it was obvious that he was a chain smoker when she saw his gestures.Christina realized that she knew very little about this man.“Michael, come at me if you have any opinions about me. Don’t make it hard for Ariel

“It won’t be long. Wait for Mommy to be ready and I’ll bring you over.”“Mommy, have you found Daddy?” Travis asked again. “Not yet. Mommy will try to help Travis find Daddy as soon as I can!” “Yes, Mommy. Take your time, I’m not in a rush.”Christina’s tears started flowing again and hugged this little kid tightly. “Mommy will pick up Travis very soon. Mommy doesn’t want to be apart from you anymore.”Sean let out a sigh. “Christina, if it’s really tiring to work out there, just come back. I can take care of both you and Travis.”Christina shook her head. “Sean, I’m grateful to have you the past few years. But, I don’t want to owe you anymore, do you understand?”“You don’t owe me anything. I’m doing this willingly from the bottom of my heart for both of you.” “But I can’t get over myself to accept all of these. Sean, you deserve a better woman. You shouldn’t be wasting your time on me.”Sean could only let out a sigh and only spoke after a second. “Christina, if you ever

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
