Chapter 735 Exposed Herself

Miranda, Anya, and her parents were all perfect examples,

However, Nathaniel was not one to believe in fate. “Are you telling me this because you want to cut ties with me? I am not ending this marriage of ours no matter what happens.”

Christina’s voice broke as she exclaimed, “But I can feel that you will be the next person I lose, Nathaniel! I can’t bring myself to put your life at risk!”

Nathaniel hugged her tightly. “I can’t live without you, Christina. Let’s face this together, okay? We haven’t identified the cause of the fire, so it’s unfair for you to leave me because of it.”

If there was one thing he feared, it was Christina leaving him.

Of course, Christina did not want to leave him either. Overwhelmed by her emotions, which were intensified due to her pregnancy, she grabbed onto his shirt sleeve and burst out crying in his embrace.

Fortunately for her, she had a loving husband who would keep her company at all times.

Scenic Garden Manor was shrouded in a depressing aura due to Christina’s emotional state.

Meanwhile, Sebastian and Victoria were stopped halfway along the drive home.

A bodyguard dressed in black walked up to the passenger seat window and said respectfully, “Ms. Lesley, Mrs. Lesley wants you to get out of the car.”

Victoria glanced at the familiar-looking Bentley in the distance and shook her head. “Tell her that I will not see her until she has changed her mind, so she should just give up!”

She knew that she would be forced into an arranged marriage if she went back with her mother, and she absolutely refused to be used like a pawn.

An arranged marriage could improve the Lesley family’s position in society and solve her mother’s problems, but Victoria refused to compromise regardless.

“Please don’t make things difficult for us, Ms. Lesley. It’ll only cause trouble to those around you,” the bodyguard stated, his face devoid of expression.

The look on Victoria’s face turned gloomy when she heard that. “Are you threatening me?” It wasn’t until she turned and saw a gun pointed at Sebastian’s head that she freaked out and shouted, “Don’t hurt him! I’m the one you guys want! Leave him alone!”

Those words had barely left her mouth when Sebastian tried to snatch the gun out of the bodyguard’s hand. Unfortunately for him, the bodyguard was a highly-trained professional. Not only did the bodyguard manage to retain his weapon, but he also clubbed Sebastian on the head with it. Blood came flowing out of the wound and stained his white shirt red.

“Stop it!” Victoria screamed and lunged forward to protect Sebastian. She then shot the bodyguard a vicious glare as she continued, “I’ll have you killed if anything happens to him!”

“He made the first move, Ms. Lesley. He’s lucky the gun wasn’t cocked, or it would’ve been a bullet that hit him in the head. I’m simply following Mrs. Lesley’s orders,” the bodyguard replied coldly.

Victoria grabbed something from the dashboard and threw it at him. “F*ck off! Get away from the car!”

Nevertheless, the bodyguard refused to budge.

After recovering from his stunned state, Sebastian grabbed Victoria by the wrist and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m fine, Victoria. Don’t worry; I won’t let them take you away.”

Victoria sobbed when she saw that half of Sebastian’s face was covered in blood. “I’ll get you to a hospital right away!”

Bang!

The bodyguard outside the car started forcefully pounding on the door, causing the vehicle to shake violently.

As Victoria buried her head in Sebastian’s embrace, the bodyguard standing behind her said, “Mrs. Lesley is growing impatient, Ms. Lesley. I suggest you hurry up and come with us. Dragging this out will only worsen his injury. We won’t hurt him if you come with us. In fact, we’ll even send him to a hospital for treatment. After all, he is working for Nathaniel, so Mrs. Lesley won’t hurt him unnecessarily.”

“Don’t agree to this, Victoria!” Sebastian yelled while struggling to stay conscious. He tightened his grip on Victoria’s wrist as he had a strong feeling they wouldn’t be able to see each other again if she left.

Victoria didn’t want to leave him either, but she knew the horrible things that her mother was capable of doing.

She could not afford to put Sebastian’s life at risk.

“I will come back for you soon, Seb. Take good care of yourself,” Victoria said and gave him a kiss on the lips. 1

As Sebastian’s vision turned blurry, Victoria brushed his hands off and got out of the car. Sebastian could only claw at the air as he watched her walk away from him.

A few seconds later, his vision faded to black, and he passed out in his seat.

Victoria glared coldly at the bodyguard before getting into the car. “You said you would have someone bring him to the hospital, so you had better make sure to do so. Keep in mind that I have plenty of ways

to make you pay if you hurt him!”

The bodyguard nodded. “Don’t worry, Ms. Lesley. I will do my best to grant your request. Now, please get

in the car.”

Victoria turned around and glanced at Sebastian one final time before settling into her seat.

The bodyguard then closed the door, and the car drove off slowly.

“Crying over a man who doesn’t deserve you? Don’t you find it shameful? You brought this upon yourself, so you shouldn’t even be crying about it!” Brenda decided to take her anger and frustration out on Victoria when she saw her sobbing.

Victoria shot her an icy-cold glare in response. “Sebastian is the man I love! Please show him some respect!”

Brenda slapped Victoria hard across the face and shouted angrily, “I think you’re just obsessed with that guy! So what if Sebastian is going to become the vice president of Hadley Corporation?-That’s not going to change his lowly background! The Lesley family will become the laughingstock of the century!”

“You only care about your image and reputation because you can never get what you want from Dad! You’ve been living a life of luxury throughout all these years, but are you truly happy?”

“Victoria! Who taught you to speak to me like this?”

Brenda got so angry that her chest was hurting. She was about to slap Victoria again, but Victoria caught her hand in time.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

She then forcefully swung Brenda’s hand aside as she yelled, “What good is there in finding someone of a matching background? Dad still ended up having an affair anyway! Are you trying to deny me of happiness simply because you couldn’t have it? I will be with Sebastian even if it costs me my life, and I won’t let anyone get in my way!”

Brenda had never seen her daughter display such extreme behavior.

Going against my wishes and rubbing salt in my wounds, all for the sake of a man… I can’t believe that this is the daughter I have spent over twenty years raising!

She was so mad that she lost control of her emotions. “As long as I am still alive, you and Sebastian will never be together! Oh, and I won’t let you work in Christina’s studio either! If you go back there again, I will burn it down a second time! Don’t believe me? Then go ahead and give it a try!”
