Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth

Chapter 63

Christina was stunned.

Has the situation gotten that serious?

News on the internet spread so quickly that when a crowd gathered, they were definitely there to

criticize her.

She calmed herself down and then dialed Nathaniel’s number.

“Christina, how are you?” Nathaniel saw the news that morning too.

Christina gripped her phone tightly, her calm eyes revealing no emotions. “The situation is really bad.

The netizens have swarmed the set, and I can’t go to work.”

“I’ve already sent a car to pick you up,” Nathaniel said, clearly worried.

“All right.”

After leaving the hotel, Christina went straight to Scenic Garden Manor.

Inside the study, the lawyer was analyzing the approach to handle this matter while examining the documents.

Upon examination, it was evident that the video had been edited, and it was also possible to clearly

identify which part of it had been changed.

However, that might not be enough to persuade the public.

Even if Xandra’s video was fake, netizens might not necessarily buy it.

However, if there were original footage, it would be different, as it could clearly depict the truth of the

event and be more persuasive.

Christina frowned slightly. “It must have been when Xandra and I were confronting each other that

someone took a sneaky video. But I don’t know who took it. Was it her assistant or someone from the

film crew?”

At that time, all she had in her mind was Patty, and she didn’t even notice that someone was secretly

taking videos of her.

“Firstly, issue a warning through Christina’s social media account, and then follow the standard

procedure,” Nathaniel instructed.

After agreeing to that, Sebastian and the lawyer walked out together.

After watching the edited video, Christina was lost in thought. She reckoned Xandra must have gone

back to the scene and shot another identical video before she edited it all together.

Or had Xandra planned everything from the beginning, luring me into a corner and then deliberately

provoking me with her words?

No wonder she’s an A–list actress; she’s really calculative.

“That was a rather nice slap.” Nathaniel saw her being so angry for the first time and thought she

should have hit Xandra even harder.

Christina shut off her computer, and only after watching the video did she realize how angry she was at

that

moment.

“I just feel sorry for Patty, as it got innocently involved because of me. Furthermore, you’re also being

dragged into this crazy love triangle.”

Nathaniel gently pulled her into his embrace, softly comforting her like soothing a frightened little

creature.

“Don’t worry. I’ll help you.”

Christina leaned against his chest, humming an acknowledgment softly.

Worried that Evelyn might be affected, she didn’t dare to go home rashly.

She only managed to give Evelyn a call and told the latter not to go out for the time being.

In the evening, Christina was reading a book in the master bedroom. As long as she didn’t look at the

news online, she wouldn’t be affected.

However, she still underestimated the craziness of those netizens, as her phone kept receiving non–

stop text messages.

Each message was filled with various derogatory words, making it quite unpleasant to read.

Christina calmly glanced around, and immediately, the phone in her hand was snatched away.

“Don’t read text messages like that.”

After Nathaniel snatched it away, the first thing he did was delete all the content on it.

Then, a call was made to the company’s technical department, asking them to immediately block the

spam messages being sent to Christina’s phone.

After taking care of that, only then did he return the phone to her. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Christina chuckled lightly. “I don’t care what those people say. Would you consider this using public

resources for personal purposes?”

Seeing that she was still in the mood for talking and laughing, Nathaniel felt less worried.

Surprisingly, she was stronger inside than he had imagined. Most people would definitely be unable to

bear such insulting messages.

However, Christina appeared quite indifferent.

“Let’s get some rest earlier, then.”

Nathaniel picked her up and carried her back to bed, cradling her soft body gently in his arms like a

cherished pet.

Ever since Nathaniel was gone, Christina found herself alone in this room. Before that, she had never

realized how comfortable the bed actually was.

The next day, when she woke up, Nathaniel had already left for the company.

Christina wasn’t idle either. She analyzed the video and found that it was seamlessly edited, with

almost no flaws visible.

Generally, an editor might not necessarily have this level of expertise, so those who could accomplish

this task were definitely people with a certain amount of technical skill.

Hence, it should be quite easy for her to figure it out.

Back when she was in college, she worked as a voice actress to earn some extra money.

She got to know a big shot named Bailey in the broadcasting circle. Not only was she a talented voice

actor, but she was also an amazing editor.

She reckoned perhaps Bailey would discover something.

Christina gave Bailey a call, and the person on the other end of the line sounded like she had just

woken up. “Christina, why are you calling me? Did you miss me?”

Bailey was a workaholic, often editing or doing voice–overs until late at night before taking a break.

“Yes, I’ve missed you. Hurry up and get up. I need your help,” Christina replied with a smile.

Bailey suddenly sobered up. “Go ahead and tell me.”

Christina briefly explained the situation and asked for her help in finding someone.

After Bailey agreed, all Christina had to do was wait for news.

For two consecutive days, she hadn’t checked the news online, only aware of the rapid development of

the situation and the constant buzz generated by Xandra.

Even after her party had sent a lawyer’s letter, the video remained high on the charts without dropping

in popularity.

It wasn’t until the afternoon that the situation took a new turn.

Since the matter had also affected Nathaniel, he didn’t call once during that period of time.

It seemed like he was allowing the matter to continue unfolding naturally.

Finally, Xandra took the initiative to call. “Nathaniel, I have no idea who posted the video online, and I

never thought this would affect Hadley Corporation.”

In recent days, Hadley Corporation’s stock price had experienced minor fluctuations. However, for such

a large company, this was not considered a significant issue.

Nathaniel was busy handling some documents, so he did not even glance at his phone. “If there’s

nothing else, I’ll hang up the call.”

“I will hold a press conference tomorrow to clarify this matter…” Xandra wondered if they would have

been engaged by then if it weren’t for Christina:

“Suit yourself.”

Before Xandra could finish speaking, the call had already been disconnected.

In fact, before Nathaniel returned to his home country, the Sullivan family and the Hadley family had

already discussed and agreed upon a marriage alliance between the two families.

She didn’t mind that Nathaniel had been married before. After all, her career was on the rise back then,

and various reasons prevented her from staying by Nathaniel’s side.

At present, she didn’t want to give up any opportunity to stay by Nathaniel’s side.

She wanted to say that she could help Christina clarify things as long as Nathaniel gave her a chance.

However, Nathaniel’s cold attitude made her feel a sense of crisis as if the fortress she had built

suddenly collapsed, crushing her without giving her a chance to react.

In that case, it was no wonder she was horrible toward Christina.

At the press conference, the first few rows were filled with black cameras, each lens aimed at the

slender Xandra on stage.

That day, she wore very light makeup, trying her best to make her appearance look like a delicate and

vulnerable victim.

The reporter raised the microphone and asked, “Ms. Xandra, your fiancé was snatched away, and his

mistress

slapped you. Why is it you who is coming forward to clarify things instead of them apologizing?”
