Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth

Chapter 445 Suggestion From Yerek



Chapter 445 Suggestion From Yerek

Christma fell silent and looked at Yerek indifferently.

Yerek’s gaze turned cold. “Can’t you at least put yourself in Dad’s shoes?”

Although he was adopted, he still cared about his adoptive parents since he grew up under their care.

Dad said he won’t kick me out of the Gibson family even though I’m not his biological child.

Christina lowered her gaze to hide the emotions in her eyes. “I don’t want to talk about this now. Enjoy

your meal.”

With that, she got up and walked out of the restaurant, Flagging down a taxi, she returned to Hadley

Corporation.

She ran into Nathaniel, who came up from the parking lot, just as she stepped into the elevator.

The two made eye contact, and Christina was instantly annoyed. I swear the elevators in Hadley

Corporation are cursed. I always run into people I don’t want to see in the company’s elevators!

Nathaniel sized her attire up and noticed it wasn’t the set of clothes he had given her. Instead, it was a

short dress that revealed her fair legs.

His gaze darkened.

When Christina stepped into the elevator, she forgot to press the button as she was deep in thought.

The elevator stopped at the floor where Nathaniel’s office was situated.

He said indifferently. “I have something to discuss with you

Christina glanced at him and walked out of the elevator behind him.

As soon as they entered the office, Nathaniel pulled Christina into the lounge.

A few rays of sunlight crept through the pleated curtains into the dim room. The stuffy and silent room

amplified their breathing.

Christina immediately became wary and narrowed her eyes. “What do you want?”

Nathaniel wrapped an arm around her slim waist and pulled a diamond necklace from her pocket as if

performing a magic trick. Then, he gently put it around her neck.

Christina felt the cold weight on her neck and lowered her head to see the sparkling necklace.

“There’s a banquet tonight. You should come with me he informed her, not giving her a chance to

refuse.

Christina turned away and replied apathetically, “I have plans tonight. I can’t go with you.”

With that, she reached out to take off the necklace. However, Nathaniel grabbed her wrist, his deep

voice echoing beside her ear. “You’re not allowed to take it off.”

With that, he pinched Christina’s chin, the warmth from his fingertips so palpable that Christina felt

uneasy.

As the distance between them narrowed, Christina could feel his breath at the tip of her nose. Just as

his lips were about to touch hers, she dodged and pushed him away.

“Fine. I’ll keep the necklace. If there’s nothing else, I have to go back and work.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

With that, she rushed out the door, leaving Nathaniel behind. The man stood rooted to the spot,

watching her leave while wearing a cold expression.

Christina switched on her computer and began working immediately after returning to the office. Only

when she was working could she temporarily forget about all those troublesome matters.

Bailey called her as she was about to get off work. “My family is hosting a banquet. My mom is

definitely going to set me up on a blind date. I need you here to keep me company!”

“Isn’t that great? You should seize the opportunity!” Christina teased her.

Bailey immediately complained woefully, “Are you sure you’re my best friend? Why are you making fun

of me too? I’ll be bored to death tonight! If you’re around, I might be able to find a chance to hide.

Please, Christina! Please come and keep me company.”

Christina was amused. Since she didn’t have any important matters for the night, she agreed Bailey’s

request.

“Il send a driver to pick you up. I’ll doll you up after you arrive.” Delighted, Bailey was instantly

energized.

After hanging up the phone, Christina packed her things, and soon, Bailey’s driver appeared at the

company’s entrance.

Bailey was from a wealthy and prestigious family, different from nouveau riches without any taste. Her

walk-in closet was about two hundred square meters and filled with a dazzling array of designer and

haute

couture items.

She even had a Barbie doll model custom-made based on her facial features. That wasn’t something

that could be bought with money.

However, all those luxury items were just ordinary decorations and accessories to her.

At that moment, Bailey was focused on finding an outfit for Christina. She chose a few haute couture

dresses and held them in front of Christina, imagining how her friend would look in each of the dresses.

Her expression showed how serious she was about it

Christina randomly picked one dress and asked, “How about this one?”

Bailey looked at it and shook her head. She pursed her lips and said. “This is pretty, but it’s too

conservative. It lacks uniqueness.”

Christina changed into a black cocktail dress. “How about this one?”

Bailey shook her head, dissatisfied. “This one won’t do either. Black is too dull.”

Christina was confused and said with a sigh. “You’re the protagonist tonight, not me. Why do I need to

dress so nicely?”

Bailey said seriously. “You’re my friend, so you’re representing me! It will boost my ego if you look

good!”

Not knowing what to say in response, Christina shrugged. “Fine. You’re right”

In the end. Bailey picked out a pink backless gown. “Try this one.”

Christina took the dress from her and changed into it in the dressing room.

The elegant pink color was compatible with her gentle and sweet temperament. It also accentuated the

fairness of her skin. Coupled with her long black hair cascading down her waist, she resembled a

graceful and beautiful princess straight out of a fairy tale.

The moment she stepped out. Bailey gasped, and her eyes lit up. “You’re gorgeous! If I’m a man. I’ll

marry you!”

Christina chuckled and teased, “Your cheesy way of complimenting me leads me to believe you really

are

a man.”

Playing along. Bailey leaned closer to Christina’s face and lifted her chin with her finger. “If I have a

beautiful wife like you, I would never get out of bed.”

“How can you say such lecherous things? You’re a girl!” Christina pushed her away and urged. “Hurry

up and get ready. Otherwise, people will make fun of you if you appear unkempt at the banquet.”

In response, Bailey quickly picked out a random dress and entered the dressing room.

The banquet started just as they finished dressing up.

The melodious sound of the violin resounded across the spacious lawn. Coupled with the sound of

chatter and laughter, the atmosphere appeared lively.

Linking arms with her daughter, Beatrice went around greeting everyone. “This is my daughter,

Gabrielle. She’s twenty-four years old and has always been a sensible kid. She’s beautiful and has a

good figure…

“Mom, who introduces their daughter like this?” Bailey’s face flushed crimson.

Beatrice snorted. “If you’re willing to take the initiative, I wouldn’t have to say a word here. I’m not

forcing you to marry now, but you need to make new friends to be able to meet someone suitable!”

Bailey didn’t dare to argue with her mother, so she held Christina’s hand instead. “You’re right, but

everyone will be too intimidated to approach me when they see you with me. They will feel pressured.

Can I walk around with Christina instead?”

Beatrice felt what Bailey said made sense. “It’s good that you know what to do. Christina, please take

good care of her for me.”

Christina nodded gently. “Of course, Mrs. Cook.”

With that, Bailey immediately walked away from Beatrice, dragging Christina along.
