Chapter 8

Christina staying here will definitely cause a lot of gossip.

Bob considered this and didn't want William to be implicated by Christina.

William shot a sharp, cold look at Bob, "Then tell me, is there a better way?"

The contrast between Christina and William's identities was stark. Christina had suffered unfair treatment for so many years, and she would definitely want to take this opportunity to break free.

Christina wouldn't miss this good opportunity.

Instead of letting Christina be outside, scheming and using despicable means, it would be better to keep her close, within his sight.

This way, Christina wouldn't be able to cause too much trouble.

Bob was silent.

He couldn't think of a better way.

William said coldly, "You handle the defense and manpower."

"Yes."

With William's arrangement, Bob had nothing more to say.

William went to the study.

The desk was piled with documents that needed to be dealt with recently. He was already overwhelmed, and the trouble Christina caused only added to his frustration.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

He picked it up and his expression darkened, "What is it?"

"Check out what I sent you on Facebook."

William frowned and looked. What caught his eye was a message seeking medical help: [Is there a doctor who makes house calls? I broke my hand and it's inconvenient to go out.]

The address was his property, Moonlight Citadel.

The patient's information was simple: [Ms. Windsor, 21 years old.]

William's eyes darkened. Wasn't this Christina!

"Where did you get this?"

Even if Christina was seeking medical help, how did this message end up with Joseph Lucius!

Joseph rubbed his forehead, extremely troubled, "Isn't it because the hospital is having a promotion, opening up online appointments? Now that she's paid the deposit, I can't cancel the order. So I'm calling to confirm, do you have a Ms. Windsor there?"

Joseph tried to recall every woman around William, including even a mosquito.

William had always been career-focused, with only Jennifer, who grew up with him, around. He hadn't seen him with any other woman.

This woman seeking medical help was only 21 years old.

She couldn't possibly be a college student William was keeping, right?

"Come over."

William's voice was low.

Joseph: "Oh my God! Are you serious?"

William's voice was cold, "You took the order, stop talking nonsense."

Joseph was speechless.

Did he want this?

If it weren't for the hospital's promotion, opening up his appointment slots online, and if he weren't concerned about his reputation, he would have ignored it!

Now?

The order was there, and William had given the word, so he had to go.

And William.

He clutched his phone and went to the guest room where Christina was staying.

Christina was browsing job listings. In her previous life, because she had slept with William and was pressured by the Cavendish family, she married William later.

She had almost given up everything for herself.

Now, living a second life, she only cared about herself.

However, she hadn't found anything suitable yet.

Unexpectedly, she heard approaching footsteps from behind. She thought it was a servant and immediately frowned in displeasure, "Didn't William set any rules for you?"

"What rules do you want?" A cold voice, like a venomous snake, instantly pierced Christina's heart.

Christina immediately lost interest.

She turned around and saw William striding towards her.

He was 6 feet 5.35 inches tall, standing in front of her like a towering mountain. In an instant, Christina felt a heavy sense of oppression.

She could hardly breathe.

She thought it was his servant.

But she had said everything she needed to say and made her stance clear.

Why was William here now?

Christina's breath trembled, "What do you want? You can't possibly want to take out my uterus and keep me under your watch 24/7, can you?"

"Even if I did, so what? Can I trap your heart?" William sneered, full of mockery.

William always believed she wanted to seduce him and use him to rise.

The next second, William showed Christina the screenshot Joseph had sent, "Read the words on this for me."

Christina's heart sank.

How did her message seeking medical help end up in William's hands?

What was William trying to do?

"I was just looking for a doctor for myself. William, how long can you keep me here? Even if the birth control pills are fine, if there were a problem, would you kill me?" Christina gritted her teeth.

William didn't even consider Christina, "If you do get pregnant, just abort it."

William's eyes were filled with endless ferocity.

Christina's heart felt like it was shattering.

She thought of Harper's tragic fate in her previous life. Harper was so adorable, so eager for William to give her a bit of fatherly love, to notice her a little.

But William was indifferent, only loving Jennifer's child, Mike.

Christina had foolishly thought that William married her in their previous life because of the child in her womb. She had naively hoped to move William's heart with the child.

But it ended up like that. How laughable, she was the dumbest fool in the world!

"Rest assured, no matter whose child I carry, it will never be yours." Christina clenched her palms so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh without her noticing.

She hated.

She wished she could drag William to die with her right now.

But.

Living a second life, life was so precious, she had many things left undone. Letting William die easily would be too lenient for him.

Besides, Jennifer hadn't paid the price yet.

And the other members of the Cavendish family who had belittled and insulted her.

"I won't give you that chance either." William's eyes were like they were poisoned, his expression venomous.

Christina's lips curled into a mocking smile, "Then why are you here? Just to question me with those things on your phone?"

How much did William despise her, not even willing to give her the most basic rights, and even suspecting her.

She had loved him so much in her previous life.

Christina took a deep breath. She had been reborn, why think about the past?

William coldly warned, "You better stop these little tricks, or don't blame me for being rude."

Christina had seen his methods.

He would definitely do what he said.

Christina didn't want to provoke him, but he was the one blocking all her paths.

"You don't want to let me go, and you don't want to believe me. Anyway, seeking medical help is my right. If you won't even give me this right..."

Before Christina could finish, William's phone rang.

William gave Christina a cold look, then his tone softened, "Jennifer, what's up?"
