Chapter 18
Freya’s voice was loud, so everyone on the stage heard her.
Brayden was especially dumbfounded. He stared at Christina’s innocent face in disbelief, feeling as if
his heart was about to explode.
Incredulity filled Christina’s eyes as well. She couldn’t believe that the best friend she had for many
years would disclose her secret in public without a care for her reputation. Best friend forever, my ass.
How disgusting!
“Christina, is Freya telling the truth?” Brayden wanted to verify the truth with his own ears.
Christina answered him with silence.
There’s nothing to verify, after all. Looks like the rumors circulating on campus are true. Christina is
exactly the kind of girl that others claimed she is—a hypocrite who uses her innocent appearance to
deceive boys.
Brayden was thoroughly disappointed that the girl he firmly believed in was actually so unprincipled.
Christina felt as if she had been stabbed in her heart, but she couldn’t utter even a single explanation,
as that was precisely the truth.
Nathaniel, who was standing next to them, could roughly guess the meaning of the look on Brayden’s
face. He held Christina’s hand and pulled her lightly, shielding her behind him as if she was a tiny
creature that needed to be protected.
Nathaniel fixed his sharp gaze on Brayden and Freya coldly. “It’s true. I’m Christina’s husband.”
As soon as he said that, Brayden’s and Freya’s eyes widened in shock.
After a few seconds, Freya sneered, “That’s impossible. Christina married an ugly old man from the
Hadley family for money. How can you be her husband?”
Although the lighting was dark, it didn’t affect Nathaniel’s good looks at all. He was extremely
handsome, and he was even a few times more good-looking than Brayden.
Nathaniel’s handsomeness was at its peak, and he exuded an unapproachable aura. His icy gaze kept
everyone at arm’s length.
It was impossible that such a good-looking man was Christina’s husband.
At that time, the music in the bar stopped.
The bar manager walked out frantically after hearing the commotion. “Mr. Hadley, you’re here! What
happened?”
Everyone was taken aback by his attitude.
Christina was extremely puzzled, too. As far as I can recall, Felix has always acted like a boss. Why is
he behaving like a subordinate in front of Nathaniel?
Nathaniel stared at Felix Wilson coldly. “How dare you ask my wife to perform a dance on stage?”
What? Felix’s expression changed drastically. His knees went weak, almost causing him to kneel.
“Please calm down, Mr. Hadley! If I had known Christina was your wife, I wouldn’t have asked her to do
so!”
Felix couldn’t care less about how other people perceive him. His face was filled with fear, and there he
wasn’t displaying the slightest bit of the demeanor of a manager.
“Did you just address him as Mr. Hadley?” Christina asked in confusion.
Upon learning Christina’s identity, Felix immediately treated her with more respect. “That’s right, Mrs.
Hadley. Don’t you know this bar is under Mr. Hadley’s name?”
Many people didn’t know and had assumed that Felix was Seven Nights Bar’s owner. In fact, he was
merely the manager, and Nathaniel was actually the owner.
Freya’s face contorted when she heard that. “You’re a hypocrite, Christina! How could you lie to me?
We’ve been friends for so many years, yet you’ve been pretending to be pitiful in front of me when you
clearly have a handsome and rich husband!”
Christina felt her anger skyrocket at that moment. She had also just learned that her husband was
actually such a formidable person.
Her eyes darkened when she saw the panic on Freya’s face. She walked toward her and asked, “Were
you the one who purposely set me up that night?”
It had been a long while since that incident, and Christina had never once suspected Freya.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
