Chapter 735 Exposed Herself


    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 eximed, “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 herpany 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 ck walked up to the passenger seat window and said respectfully, “Ms.


    Lesley, Mrs. Lesley wants you to get out of the car.”


    Victoria nced 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!”N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    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 topromise 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 re 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 ande with us. Dragging this out will


    only worsen his injury. We won’t hurt him if youe 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 wille 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 w at the air as he watched her walk away from him.


    A few secondster, his vision faded to ck, and he passed out in his seat.


    Victoria red 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 nced 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 re in response. “Sebastian is the man I love! Please show him some


    respect!”


    Brenda pped Victoria hard across the face and shouted angrily, “I think you’re just obsessed with


    that guy! So what if Sebastian is going to be the vice president of Hadley Corporation?-That’s not


    going to change his lowly background! The Lesley family will be theughingstock 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 p Victoria again, but Victoria


    caught her hand in time.


    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 disy 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!”
