Chapter 179 Dust Settling
Suddenly, a man with long arms shoved the crowd aside, took off his coat, and put it over Christina.
He wrapped his arm around Christina’s shoulders and brought her out of there.
The people in the private room dispersed after she left.
The man brought her out of the club, and they arrived at the parking lot. He took away the coat, and
she saw the man’s handsome features right away.
Christina wasn’t surprised to see Francis because she knew who he was when she caught a whiff of
his perfume.
“Thank you,” she said.

“I’ve helped you again. Don’t you think I deserve something in return?” Francis smiled. I didn’t even
want to join the gathering tonight, but my friends forced me toe. Who would’ve thought I would run
into such an interesting incident?
Christina also thought she needed to do something to express her gratitude. “What do you suggest?”
she asked.
Francis thought about it for a while and replied, “Have supper with me. Get in the car.”
Francis brought her to a beach.
Prior to that, he had already ordered takeout, so they were both eating under the night sky and
enjoying the sound of waves on the beach.
Since it was dark at the beach, Francis wasn’t worried about getting spotted by the passersby.
Christina had headed out in a rush earlier that day without having a meal beforehand. She was
famished. As she was chomping on her supper, she looked like a hamster with her mouth filled with
food. Francis felt inexplicably satisfied when he saw her cat. For some reason, watching her eat made
him feel
calm.
He opened a can of beverage and passed it to her. “Eat slowly. Is Nathaniel such a cheapskáte? Has
he not been feeding you?”
“As if! I’ve been eating well and sleeping well at Scenic Garden Manor. My life is rather blissful.”
Christina red at him and gulped her drink.
After she was done eating, she leaned backward andy on the beach.
As the wind swept past her, she felt as rxed as she had ever been. “How did you know about this
ce?”
Francisy next to her and answered, “When I was younger, I used to quarrel a lot with my mom due to
my identity. Whenever I felt moody, I would leave home. I actually found this ce by ident. Now, I’ll
juste here and enjoy the wind whenever I’m unhappy or want to rx.”
He shut his eyes. Due to how close they were lying next to each other, he could smell Christina’s scent.
She smells amazing.
Christina didn’t know how to respond to that. Although I’m not an illegitimate child, the treatment I got
from the Steele family is as cruel as how Francis is treated by his family. Essentially, we’re the
outcasts.
For the sake of money, Gideon had given her away to the Hadley family without batting an eyelid.
The two left the beach after a while.
Christina was eager to get out of the car as Francis was approaching Scenic Garden Manor.
“Did we do anything wrong? Why are you so afraid?” Francis shed a faint smile.
Christina unbuckled her seatbelt and uttered, “I’m not afraid. I just want to avoid being misunderstood.”
She knew exactly how jealous Nathaniel could get.
“You’re acting so guiltily as though we were out on a date without Nathaniel knowing about it,” Francis
said. firmly.
Christina blushed, and she seemed to have also realized something was wrong with the atmosphere in
the car. “Thanks for helping me out today. Bye.”
She jumped out of the car and ran toward the entrance of the manor.
In the car, Francis stared at Christina’s retreating figure, wishing he could stop her from leaving.
The next day, Coco became a trending figure on the inte.
Needless to say, theizens were using her of snatching someone’s endorsement deal. Although
some were ghostwriters, most of theizens actually felt bad for Emilia.

Emilia’s photos were. At the same time, they thought Radiant Corporation was right to change their
ambassador.

future.
Emilia was very emotional in the video, so theizens were quick to show sympathy for her.
In the digital age, sympathy and anger were the best tools for influencers to gain attention. Emilia knew
that very well and used it to her advantage. Just like that, theizens took her side.

Emilia was over the moon when she saw how theizens heavily criticized Coco. How dare you
snatch the endorsement from me? You’re regretting it now, aren’t you?
In Radiant Corporation, Christina was fuming as theizens were throwing baseless usations at
Coco. These people have no idea what’s going on! How could they insult Coco?
Soon after that, Christina contacted a mediapany and sent the video she recorded in the club to a
reporter named Gary Chambein.
Gary was stunned when he saw the video. I was Emilia’s supporter just a second ago!
Christina said over the phone, “I’m not asking for much. I just want you to reveal the truth and clear
Coco’s name.”
“Don’t worry. You’ve given me such an exciting video. I won’t disappoint you,” Gary promised.
With that, he hung up the phone and started writing his article.
Uponpletion, he uploaded it on the inte right away.

However, theizens were quick to notice that the man in the video was a rich and married
businessman. He was an influential individual in the entertainment industry because of his wealth.
Emilia was doomed.
She had used Coco of being a scheming and greedy woman. After the video was uploaded,
however, those usations seemed to fit her like a glove.
There and then, everyone could tell who was in the right.

sessions from going smoothly.
