Please Spare My Family
Holly was overwhelmed with regret. Had I known from the start that Christina had a powerful husband
backing her up. I wouldn’t have dared to cause any trouble for her. It wouldn’t matter if I’m the only one
suffering from my actions, but how will I ever make it up to my family for ruining the reputation we’ve
painstakingly built over the years? I admit that I deeply despise this woman to the point that I want her
dead. However, the moment I realized she was someone I couldn’t afford to cross, I rued everything I
did.
“Christina. I’m begging you! I was behind those malicious online attacks against you and rounded up
people to stage a protest, but I didn’t get someone to harm you!” She wiped her tears while apologizing
pitifully.
Her frail figure seemed as though it could be blown away by the wind at any time. She looked utterly
pathetic.
Christina’s gaze darkened slightly. It never occurred to me that Nathaniel would do something like that
behind my back…
Her mind was a jumbled mess of thoughts and emotions. Although she had not expected the situation
to blow up like that, the recollection of getting hit in the head still made her head throb painfully.
“It’s no surprise that you’d deny your wrongdoings now that trouble has knocked on your door. Do you
think a few words is enough to absolve you from what you did to me?” Christina said with a chilly glint
in her eyes. I’m not a saint. I’ve no obligation to forgive those who’ve hurt me.
She made to leave, but Holly grabbed her by her leg. “Please spare my family! What do I need to say
to make you believe me?”
I have to get her to forgive me! Otherwise, we won’t be able to withstand Hadley Corporation’s spiteful
attack on our company’s stock prices, and everything will come crumbling down. If that happens,
everyone in the family will get dragged into this mess.
Holly’s pale face contorted as she continued, “I truly have no idea who is trying to shift the blame to me.
However, I swear I didn’t hire anyone to harm you. If I’m lying, I deserve to get struck by lightning and
die a horrible death!”
If possible, she was even willing to die to prove her innocence!
A hint of doubt rose in Christina’s heart as she watched Holly sob bitterly. If she did do it, she wouldn’t
have this anger that only a victim would have. Could there be a deeper mystery to this incident?
At that moment, her conversation with Madison that morning flashed across her mind, and she fell
silent. Then, she heard a ringing inside her bag and guessed that Nathaniel was calling to urge her to
hurry up.
“You should go back. I’ll get to the bottom of this. You won’t be able to get away with it if you’re the
culprit, and if it wasn’t you, then you won’t be falsely accused.” With that, she shook off the hand that
grasped her ankle with cold indifference.
Seeing what seemed to be a glimmer of hope, Holly could not care less about wiping the tears from her
face as she asked, “Does that mean you’ll ask Mr. Hadley to spare my family?”
Christina paused for a moment before going into the elevator without replying.
Once outside, she saw a Maybach parked on the side of the road. She walked over to it and
immediately.
Inside the car, Nathaniel passed her a flask of warm milk. “Your injuries haven’t healed yet, so be sure
not to overwork yourself.”
She nodded. Even in the dim space, she could see his sparkling eyes shining like stars. “Okay, I
understand.”
As she took the milk from him, she continued fixing her gaze on him. I didn’t notice anything strange
about him these few days. He has been working and spending time with me like usual. It never crossed
my mind that he was taking down the Jenson family.
Suddenly, she realized she had gotten so used to Nathaniel’s elegance, calmness, and maturity that
she had forgotten concealed beneath the suit was a man with a beast–like nature, ruthless and
determined.
If someone hurts me, there’s no way he’d stand by and do nothing instead of turning that person’s life
upside down.
Then, the image of Holly with tears streaming down her face popped into her mind. Although what she
did to me was despicable, having the law deal with her for her actions is punishment enough.
Noticing that she was staring at him intently, Nathaniel turned and saw a brief look of panic on her face.
“Do you have something to say to me?”
Caught red–handed for staring at him, she could not even deny it if she wanted to. She hesitated
before asking. “Nathaniel, are you taking action against the Jenson family?”
Instead of them being secretive, she thought it better to ask him directly and clarify the situation.
His dark eyes glinted dangerously as he narrowed them, “Are you thinking of pleading for mercy on her
behalf?”
His question hit the bullseye. It was as though he could read minds or knew some witchcraft that
allowed him to see through a person. She had not revealed anything, yet he knew everything!
Clutching the corner of her shirt discreetly, she explained, “I’m not pleading for mercy. It’s just that I was
thinking perhaps she’s not the real mastermind. If it was someone else, but we used her as a
scapegoat, wouldn’t that mean the real villain would still be at large?”
Rather than thinking of it as helping Holly, it’s more about the fact that I don’t want to let the real
mastermind get away with it. I can’t shake the feeling that there’s something we still don’t know. Who
knows? The real mastermind could’ve even used Holly as a smokescreen to impair our judgment.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel frowned slightly. So, she thinks it might be someone else? Indeed, the police
haven’t been able to identify the mastermind until now.
“What are you planning to do, then?” His low voice echoed in the confined space, and the air seemed
to become thinner.
She bit her lip. “Could you stop what you’re doing to the Jenson family? After the police confirm the true
culprit, I won’t stop you no matter what you want to do.”
I’m not someone with great compassion. I just don’t wish to make false accusations. That’s all.
Nathaniel cradled her face gently as though he were holding the world’s most precious treasure in his
hand and replied softly. “Okay. As you wish.”
Christina broke into a smile, and she gave him a thumbs up. “I knew my husband wasn’t some
barbarian but a reasonable gentleman.”
Her heart was full, and the fear she felt toward him earlier instantly disappeared without a trace.
She leaned over and gave him a quick peck on the cheek, looking as pleased as a kitten that had
stolen a bite of delicious food.
The following day, Hadley Corporation stopped all hostility against the Jenson family.
Although the family could finally breathe a little easier, they had also suffered heavy losses after what
happened in the past week.
Nonetheless, they could only endure their vexation stoically. After all, it had been their fault for
provoking a formidable figure in the business world, and they were lucky they were not swept clean.
Christina worked tirelessly over the next few days and finally completed the dress on the specified
date. Gwyneth was in the middle of filming, so she gave Christina an address and asked her to send
the dress over.
At first, she had thought of asking Rayne to run the errand. However, the latter had followed Bailey out
to do market research.
Hence, after placing the dress into a beautiful gift box, she went to deliver the dress herself.
Upon arriving at the filming site, she saw many people bustling about. No one paid any attention to her.
After tracking down the production assistant and explaining why she was there, the latter merely
pointed in a direction and told her to find the way herself.
Finally, Christina walked over to a door and saw the sign stating that the room was exclusively for
Gwyneth’s private use.
Since there was no answer after knocking, she opened the door.
The room was strangely quiet. As the door swung open, her gaze fell upon a couple locked in a
passionate embrace.
When Gwyneth’s eyes met hers, it suddenly struck her that she had stumbled upon a scene she should
not have, and she rushed out in shock. I recognize the man in there. He’s the guy with Gwyneth at that
cafe the last time.
