Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

Chapter 56: You overestimate yourself too much.



No!

Cristian had done it because of her. She could not let him take the blame.

At the thought of this Serena did not hesitate, went in front of the elder, and said, “Alessandro, it’s not Cristian’s fault for this. It was all my fault.”

“What are you saying?” Alessandro squinted his eyes as he looked at Serena, and asked in a dangerous tone, “What do you have to do with this matter?”

“That day it was me…”

“I was the one who stopped her from going after Enrico. I don’t want to deal with the Romano family for no reason. If you are not satisfied, we will talk about it at the board meeting.” Cristian suddenly interrupted Serena in a cold tone.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Serena was stunned and turned to look at Cristian with an unbelievable face.

What was happening to him?

Why was he… lying for her instead of letting her tell the truth?

“Cristian?”

“Go away.” Cristian’s gaze lifted slightly, becoming very fierce, “Is it your turn to talk when we are arguing? You are not of our family.”

Serena bit her lower lip. Her face turned pale and she moved to the side, holding her hands tightly.

Leonardo felt a little aggrieved seeing her like that.

Alessandro became furious at Cristian’s words. This coward. He knew he would not convene a board meeting, because they all supported Cristian. The time had not yet come…

But he was not going to let the matter end like that.

“Cristian, don’t think I can’t do anything to you.”

Cristian looked indifferent, raised his head, and looked at Alessandro. “The company is always here. It doesn’t move, and you can convene the board of directors whenever you want. Just… obey you.”

After saying this, he lifted his lips.

That smile looked arrogant and calm.

Apparently he was very confident.

It was true, even though Cristian was in a wheelchair, even though his way of dealing with things was always unexpected, and often taking surprising actions, what happened next always proved him right.

The elders on the board knew that from the first day Cristian joined the company. He had been underestimated by them.

Shortly after his arrival, he immediately had excellent successes, causing the board to change their minds about him. Everyone knew that Cristian was only disabled in his legs, not in his brain.

“The Romano family will not be kind to you. Cristian, you hurt Enrico, and you have to give him an explanation.”

The two elders next to Alessandro, seeing that the situation was serious, and worrying that it was getting worse, had to start convincing Cristian.

“He’s right. It may be okay if you don’t cooperate with them, but why did you hurt him?”

“I was already generous by letting him live.” Said Cristian mercilessly.

These merciless words changed the faces of those who were present, and Alessandro’s reaction was the most intense. “Ridiculous! How did your father have a son like you!”

“Grandfather!” Seeing that he was really going to hit him. Leonardo stepped forward and stopped his arm. “Don’t be angry. Surely Cristian has his own reasons to stop cooperating. He’s always been smart, and he’s also a member of the Ferraris. He won’t do anything harmful to our family. Don’t worry.”

“Really? That’s not necessarily true.” Cristian replied with a cold stare.

Serena had a headache as she listened to Cristian’s words, and thought that he was deliberately angering Alessandro, and every word he said was so provocative, of course… Alessandro got so angry!

“Leonardo, listen… listen to what he’s saying! Isn’t that absurd?”

“Grandpa, go home first. I’ll send the driver to you.” Leonardo said nothing more, and helped Alessandro out, while the other two followed them.

Silence returned to the office.

Serena remained motionless. Her face was still pale, and her lower lip showed bite marks.

“Go away!” Cristian suddenly ordered her.

But Serena did not move.

“Don’t you understand what I told you?”

Serena blinked and suddenly turned to Cristian, “Why did you help me?”

Hearing this, Cristian raised his eyes and arched his eyebrows.

“Obviously it was my problem, wasn’t it? Why didn’t you let me tell Alessandro the truth? It was my fault!”

“Hey…” Cristian suddenly huffed, “Don’t you feel like you’re overestimating yourself?”

“What?” Serena didn’t understand. She was just confused. What was happening to this man?

“Don’t let me say for the third time. Go away.”

Instead of leaving, she stepped forward, and asked with clenched fists, “Cristian, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t you hate me? But why are you helping me? If I had told Alessandro clearly what had happened, you wouldn’t have quarreled. It was all my fault.”

From the first time Enrico courted Serena, Cristian immediately refused cooperation.

The second time was also for her that Cristian hurt Enrico.

If she saw the two times together, however, it had always happened for her.

But… he said nothing about it, plus he had interrupted Serena when she wanted to say!

“Hey, woman, you overestimate yourself too easily. I decide whom to cooperate with. As for you… I never need a woman to defend me. The problem is between Grandpa and me. It’s not up to an outsider to intervene, understand?”

Serena paused.

“Do you want me to tell you the worse? For a second-hand woman like you, do you think I did all this for you? What are you thinking about? Get rid of these stupid ideas now and get out of my sight.”

The words fell without warning. Serena’s face became more than pale.

She had not expected… for him to say such cruel words to her.

The hands that hung on either side tensed in silence. Her body trembled and then she bit her lower lip, “I, I understand…”

Saying this, he lowered his eyes. Long lashes covered the emotions in his eyes.

“Sorry, I thought too much and I will never do it again. Mr. Cristian, if you don’t have any more problems, I’ll go out.”

Cristian did not speak, but the cold air around it obviously showed his intention to make her leave quickly.

Serena turned, and walked out with her back all straight and her steps intensely heavy.

She was not aware of Cristian’s complicated look toward her.

What had happened to this woman? She always thought she understood what was on his mind. Did she really think that she was his wife?

What a fool!

However… when he saw her with lowered eyelashes covering her eyes, and looking so depressed, his heart beat fast accompanied by intense pain….

It must be a wrong perception.

A vain woman like her, she was just trying to seduce him all the time.
