Chapter 163 Impossible
A deathly silence ensued in the living room.
Nathaniel stepped toward Carl, red at thetter coldly, and stated firmly, “No one is allowed to touch
my woman!”
Everyone present was stunned.
Feliciaid her coffee cup aside and chuckled. “I’m d my grandson knows how to protect his wife!
Not bad.”
Meanwhile, Julia was sweating profusely as she tugged the old woman’s sleeve and whispered, “Don’t
fan the mes, Mom.” We shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we investigate the matter.
“I believe in Christina,” asserted Felicia.
Julia couldn’t understand why her mother–inw believed in Christina so much.
Of course, the Bets were understandably enraged. They didn’t expect Nathaniel to love Christina
so much that he was willing to sacrifice thepany’s interests for her, even though her background
couldn’t be any more ordinary.
“So, it seems the reason your wife acted haughtily and bullied our daughter is that she has your
support. Hmph, I wonder if she’s a disgrace to your family,” mocked Carl coldly.
Upon hearing Nathaniel’s words, Molly gritted her teeth angrily. “Are you saying you won’t ask the
culprit to apologize?” I won’t allow the person who hurt my daughter to go unpunished! If he refuses to
relent, then he better not me us for ignoring the rtionship our families share! It’s a piece of cake
for us to drag that woman out of her room! I’ve already asked all of our family’s bodyguards toe
here. When the time arrives, I’ll haul her into the living room and force her to apologize!
The grim atmosphere turned tense. No one dared to lower their guards as they prepared to strike.
Nathaniel ced his hands behind his back and stood tall, looking like an immovable snowy mountain.
A dangerous look swirled in his dark eyes.
Composedly, he dered, “Elizabeth was the one who pushed Christina into the pool, so she should be
the one apologizing!”
The crowd gasped in shock when they heard that.
He wants the victim to apologize? What kind of joke is this? This is ridiculous! He has no respect for the
Bet family at all! Exasperated, Carl roared. “How dare you im that Elizabeth’s the one who
pushed her! Do you have evidence?” I won’t let this slide unless he has a convincing argument!
Nathaniel appeared to havee prepared as he snapped his fingers confidently.
Momentster, Sam emerged from a corner and disyed a few photos on a tablet. He identally
took pictures of the environment back then while they were on the way to meet with Christina after
receiving
her call.
The photos clearly showed Christina’s clothes, shoes, and phone neatly ced on the side of the
bridge.
Coldly, Nathaniel exined with animosity, “Let me ask you all something. Who would set their
belongings aside before pushing someone into the water when they themselves have no intention of

falling into the water? Obviously, Christinaid her belongings on the bridge because she nned to
save Elizabeth after seeing thetter falling into the water! Christina tried to rescue Elizabeth out of
kindness, yet she was used as the culprit! None of you are leaving this building until you apologize
to her!”
The people in the living room exchanged nces with each other. He makes a solid argument.
ording to Elizabeth, she met Christina on the bridge before thetter shoved her into the pool. As
she did, she grabbed Christina’s hand, causing them both to fall. If that’s true, how did Christina have
enough time to ce her belongings neatly on the bridge?
The Bets were rendered speechless as they winced.
At that moment, Elizabeth limped out of her room with a pale countenance. She looked so weak that
the wind could topple her.
Resentfully, she refuted, “He’s lying. They could’ve purposely ced those items there afterward.” I
wouldn’t have needed toe out here and argue with him if he wasn’t threatening to ruin my n! I’m
so close to seeding!
Feeling sorry for her daughter, Molly walked over and held her. “Why did youe out here, Elizabeth?
Your father and I can handle this. You’ll have the justice you deserve.”
In response, Nathaniel swept his deadly gaze past Elizabeth, causing her to shudder and avoid his
eyes.
Once again, the situation grew tense. Both families were in a stalemate because they wanted to prove
they were right, but neither side had concrete evidence.
After brief contemtion, Carl suggested, “For old times‘ sake, I’m willing topromise and settle for
a simple apology.”
It was obvious the Bet family had capitted.
If Nathaniel epted the suggestion, then the conflict between the families would be resolved.
However, he instead raised his chin pridefully. “Apologize? That’s impossible.”
His hostile demeanor made him appear like a demon who just strode out of hell. No one dared to
approach him.

Suddenly, a skinny figure emerged from the crowd. “Nathaniel.”
When Christina woke up, she was informed by the bodyguards that the Bets were making things
difficult for the Hadleys.
Expeditiously, she bolted toward the living room and overheard the conversation within.
Upon turning around, Nathaniel saw Christina staring at him with watery eyes. She was like a lost deer
that mistakenly barged into the castle of a dangerous hunter, tempting those whoid eyes on her to
protect her.
When his line of sightnded on her bare feet, he frowned and approached her.
Without dy, he picked her up in front of everyone. “You shouldn’t run around barefooted.” As his
warm breath brushed past her face, she widened her eyes and met his tender gaze, stunned. Before
she could react, he leaned over and kissed her forehead. Thank goodness. She didn’t catch a fever.
Momentster, Nathaniel carried Christina to his seat and kissed her cheek. Holding her icy hands, he
exhaled a puff of breath to warm her hands. “Are you cold? Do you want to return to your room and
rest? I can handle the situation.”
She was dumbfounded as hisnguorous tone made her blush. There are so many people watching
us… Can’t he wait untilter to kiss me?
Meanwhile, Molly couldn’t stay silent any longer. She just wanted to wrap the matter up and leave.
Hugging Elizabeth, she eyed Christina and spoke in a sarcastic tone. “It’s just an apology. It’s not like
she doesn’t know how to do that. Don’t all peasants grow up saying sycophantic things like that? She
must be used to it.”
Christina was promptly angered. They don’t have the right to look down on peasants! I didn’t do
anything wrong, so why should I apologize?
Felicia, who had been staying silent, spoke up. “A person’s nature has nothing to do with their
background. I can tell Christina’s a kind child because she can’t even bear to hurt animals. Those
unable to bring themselves tomit such an act have apassionate heart.”
