Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth

Chapter 121 Custom Attire

Francis was wearing a thin black shirt that contrasted with his fair skin, making him stand out visually.

Apart from that, he was also wearing some small stainless steel pendants and rings that added to his

charm.

When he heard the commotion, he raised his head and looked at the young woman. A playful smile

tugged at the corner of his lips as he said, “Did you bring your measuring tape today? If not, I have

plenty prepared.”

“That won’t be necessary. I brought it with me.” Christina walked over and took out her measuring

tape.

After saving the edited itinerary, Francis got to his feet and made his way to her side.

He noticed how the light fell on her clean and flawless face, which made her seem as pretty as a piece.

of translucent emerald. Her clear eyes were gazing at the scenery outside the window, and the

calmness reflected in them was as serene as a painting

A sly look flashed in Francis’ eyes as he bent down slightly and leaned close to her ear before

whispering, “Remember to save the measurements after you’re done. I plan to have all my future

formal wear custom-made by you.”

Taken aback by the sudden closeness, Christina shot him a glare and huffed, “You don’t need to talk so

close to me. I’m not deaf.”

When he saw that his prank had succeeded, a satisfied smile spread across his lips. He suddenly

found the woman to be rather interesting and felt that even if he hadn’t made a deal with her, he would

still want to get close to her.

Christina took out the measuring tape and instructed, “Raise your hands.”

Francis obliged and raised them obediently, looking like a king who was waiting for his attendant to

dress him up.

Since the two had a significant height difference, Christina had to stand on her tiptoes to reach him.

She kept him at arm’s length, making it obvious that she was deliberately avoiding any physical contact

with him.

Francis furrowed his brows slightly at that, and with a displeased tone, he said, “I’m not sick, so why

are you keeping your distance?” He didn’t like the way she was treating him as if he was some sort of

dangerous person.

“You’re getting married soon, and your spouse-to-be is the famous actress, Renee Olson. I’m just

worried that if we’re seen getting too close, it will have a negative impact on your marriage,” Christina

replied matter-of-factly.

She was trying her best to avoid any unnecessary conflict.

Francis chuckled in response. “Why do I get the feeling that you’re worried about being misunderstood

by Nathaniel instead?”

Realizing that her intention had been seen through, she glared at him irritably and continued measuring

him with the tape in her hand. After a while, she recorded the measurements.

“All right, I’ve got your measurements. The designs will be up to Renee to decide.” Christina put away

her measuring tape and notebook. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave now.”

Just as she was about to leave, Francis stopped her. “You forgot to take the measurements for the

pants.”

Christina’s lips twitched slightly in response. It wasn’t that she had forgotten, but rather she simply.

didn’t want to take the measurements. “The size of the pants can be adjusted easily, so I’ll just use the

standard measurements for models of similar height.”

Sensing the perfunctory tone she was using, Francis glanced at his watch and grinned. “All right. Let

me walk you out, then.”

Christina nodded and walked over to open the door, only to see a group of people approaching.

Her gaze then settled on Nathaniel, who was dressed in a black suit. His handsome face was cold and

emotionless as he exuded a gloomy aura.

When the light fell on his side profile, it made him seem as if he was glowing.

Christina blinked in surprise. “Nathaniel?”

When Nathaniel saw Christina walking out of Francis studio, his expression darkened further.

An overwhelming sense of oppression swept over the area, and Christina swiftly moved away from

Francis’ side.

She put on her best docile look before walking up to Nathaniel and explaining with a sweet smile, “I’m

here to take measurements for an order that the company received.”

Nathaniel’s gaze fell on Christina’s face and he asked coldly, “Are you done, then?”

“Yeah, I’m done.” She nodded.

Francis was leaning against the door frame with his arms folded across his chest and a mocking look in

his eyes when he said, “Christina, remember to bring the clothes over for me to try on in person when

they’re ready.”

When he saw the slight change in Nathaniel’s expression, a sense of glee surged within him.

He was well aware of what the other man was thinking, for he knew better than anyone how

possessive Nathaniel could be.

Nobody can touch what belongs to him. That is probably the only weakness Nathaniel has.

Christina stiffened when she heard Francis’ words and wondered why the man was mentioning the

clothes in such an ambiguous tone. “I’ll have my assistant bring them over,” she replied.

With that, she linked her arm with Nathaniel and walked out.

Silence filled the air once they got into the car.

Christina looked at Nathaniel curiously and asked, “What were you doing in Francis’ studio?”

Although she didn’t see the two interact much, she was certain that there must be some kind of grudge

between them. He wouldn’t go to Francis’ studio for no reason.

Sebastian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and explained, “This piece of land

belongs to Hadley Corporation. The company’s planning to take it back and build a mansion.”

“You’re taking back the land? Does that mean Francis would have to move his studio?” Christina was

surprised and felt that it was a waste to build a mansion in such a nice area.

“Well, it’s not decided yet. We’re still negotiating on the price,” came Sebastian’s reply.

When the land was leased out, it was done so using a rental agreement with a ten-year contract and a

price increase every five years.

Since Nathaniel was going to increase the rent, Francis would have to return the land to Hadley

Corporation if he could not afford it.

Nathaniel glanced at Christina and asked, “Are you disappointed to hear that?”

“Of course not. It’s not like it’s my studio, anyway. I just envy having such a good and spacious place to

work, that’s all,” Christina answered with a smile.

She felt that she could get a lot more done working in a place like this and thought it was a pity to let

such a good place go to waste.

Seemingly satisfied with her answer, Nathaniel didn’t question her further.

The car soon left the suburbs and returned to the bustling city center before coming to a stop at the

entrance of Radiant Corporation.

Just before Christina got out of the car, Nathaniel said, “Go back to Scenic Garden Manor once you’re

done with work.”

Christina was planning to stay back at the company to continue working. As such, when she heard the

man’s words, she hesitated for a moment before narrowing her eyes and replying, “Okay.”

Once she alighted, the car drove off.

Christina had just entered the office when she received a message on her phone.

The message was from Francis, and it read: I have an artist who is going to release a new album soon,

and I want you to do the styling for her. The payment will be a hundred thousand.

Christina was tempted when she saw the figures, so she messaged back: Sure. Send me the

information about the artist, then.

Half a minute later, she received a reply from Francis. It turned out that the artist was Coco.

It had been a while since they had last met, and Christina could see that the woman had gained some

confidence. Thinking that she would be able to work with someone she was familiar with, Christina

suddenly felt less resistant toward this job.

After working until the evening, she sent the designs for the wedding dress and suit to Renee before

leaving the office.

Upon returning to Scenic Garden Manor, Christina saw that several stylists were waiting for her in the

living room. “Mr. Hadley instructed us to come and do the styling for you, Mrs. Hadley.”

Just as she was left feeling puzzled by the whole thing, she was quickly ushered upstairs. An hour

later,. she was dressed in a high-end feather evening gown, which was light and elegant. Her long

black hair was tied up, giving her a dignified and graceful appearance.

The moment Christina was done with the styling, Nathaniel’s car arrived at the door.
