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

“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.”

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

“Men will always find excuses for being a fickle lover. I’ve heard this excuse eight hundred times already.”“They’re finding excuses, but I’m honest!” Seeing that she did not believe in him, Matthew immediately stood up. “Christina, I swear!”His sudden reaction had made Michael’s fair face look even darker. Not able to put up with it anymore, Michael stood up too. “President Henderson, we meet again.”Matthew turned around. “Hey, you’re here too?”The Hendersons had kept in touch with the Larsons before they moved out of the country. Considering that Matthew had met Heather before when he was young, he took the initiative to greet her this time. “Hi, aunty.”She nodded with a smile, but her eyes were on Christina.Christina did not bat an eye at them as she slowly wiped her mouth with a napkin. Her carefree look had become cocky and arrogant in Heather’s eyes.Heather was a little confused. “Matthew, you and her…”Matthew waved at Christina. “Christina, come here. Let me intr

Christina would like to get Travis a father if there was a suitable opportunity, but she was worried that men were only attracted to her appearance. Thus, she did her makeup poorly and wore fake braces on purpose.Suppose someone was still willing to pick her, then not only must he be a loyal man, but must he really want to be with her too.“Serena, it doesn’t match. She’s not Christina.”“They look alike though. You can see it in her body figure, it seems identical.” Serena whispered, “Did Christina adopt a kid because she knows that she can’t give birth to a child?”“Just leave her alone. Even if it’s her, it doesn’t matter to us. Did you call Michael today?”“I’ve called him, but he’s in a bad mood. Mom, can you call Michael as well and have him come eat with us tonight?”Sophia knew very clearly what her daughter was thinking. “It’s useless for me to call him, you have to get your father to do it. Just wait for a moment, I’ll ask your father to call Michael.”“Alright. Thank
