Chapter 90 Let Them Get Married
“Mr. Sce, you can’t go in!”
The maid’s panicked voice came from the door.
The trio in the reception room had only just turned around when they saw Christopher storming in. He
was inscrutable as ever, save for the grim look on his face.
He first nced at Yuliana, then at Winnie and La. He cut in tly. “Mrs. Sce, La, I don’t need
you to interfere with my personal affairs.”
“Your personal affairs?” La repeated incredulously. She was a little more stern than usual that day.
“Do you honestly think this concerns you and no one else, Christopher?”
The siblings stared at each other without saying anything for a while. Then, Christopher turned around,
grabbed Yuliana by the wrist, and led her out of the room.
Yuliana’s wrist was starting to hurt under Christopher’s vise-like grip. She had no chance to resist at all,
and it was all she could do to stagger beside him as he half-dragged her outside.
“Christopher!” La shouted after her brother, but he pretended not to hear her and kept walking.

Meanwhile, Winnie could feel her heart racing with anger as she seethed. “That spoiled little punk!”
La rubbed the olddy’s chestfortingly and consoled, “You and Dad spoiled him, so who’s to
me now?”
Winnie swatted La’s hand away and snapped, “Oh, so you’re turning on me, too?”
La said soothingly, “Mom, calm down. You shouldn’t get too worked up. Seeing that the olddy had
calmed down, she continued, “Didn’t you and Dad always say that children need to live their own lives?
From the looks of things, Christopher may have some feelings for Ms. Livingstone. If that’s the case…”
Winnie saw the hesitation that flickered past La’s face and demanded, “If that’s the case, then
what?”
La’s gaze darkened. She said quietly. “Then let them get married.”
“Married?” Winnie’s chest started to rise and fall rapidly again. “Are you out of your mind, La? Or am
I hearing things wrong?”
La hurriedly handed Winnie a cup of coffee. “Well, do you have better ideas? Would you rather let
Christopher’s kid be a fatherless, illegitimate child?”
Naturally, thest thing Winnie wanted was to abandon the Sce family’s kin.
This was especially true after the past taught her a hard lesson. She remembered how that mistake
had nearly destroyed the Sce family’s historical foundation.
If the Sce family really were to put their foot down and insist on iming the child as their own,
Yuliana would not stand a chance against them at all.
However, that seemed too cruel and unreasonable. Winnie had raised three children herself; she knew
what it
meant to be a mother.
Having considered all this, Winnie looked at La and said gravely, “That girl’s father is in prison, and
she was married previously as well, wasn’t she? What would our peers think of us if we let Christopher
marry her?”
“Do you really think your darling son is perfect?” La countered with a shortugh.
She had investigated Yuliana before asking to meet her in person. Even though Yuliana was previously
married and had a father who was in prison, La had a rtively good impression of her nheless.
Then again, there was nothing wrong with having a father who was currently an inmate.
After all, it was not as if Yuliana had done anything illegal or criminal. Before her father had fallen from
grace, she did not try to use his position to seek any personal gains for herself, either. She even
became a teacher at Juxshire Primary School through her own efforts.
She had kept a rtively low profile at work too. Until now, none of her colleagues or the head teachers
knew that her father was Damian, the disgraced ex-minister.
As for the matter of Yuliana’s previous marriage, La did not think it was an issue at all.
It was the twenty-first century. There was nothing wrong with having been previously married. It would
be ridiculous for anyone to expect a woman to spend her whole life with one man like they were living
in a feudal society.
Besides, the dating world was rife with scumbags, anyway.
Unfortunately, these were only La’s opinions, and she could not shove them down others’ throats.
She knew Winnie had a point. She could already hear what the rest of high society might say about
Christopher and the Sce family.
As things were, it would be best for the Sce family to proceed with caution.
La was silent for a brief moment before she said decisively, “I’ll talk to Ken about this when he gets
back.”
Ultimately, Kendrick would have the final say over matters of the Sce family.
Meanwhile, Christopher dragged Yuliana to the backyard of the Sce residence.
When Yuliana saw they were far from the reception room, she dug her heels into the ground and
struggled to pull her wrist out of Christopher’s grip. “You’re hurting me, Christopher!” she cried.
“Good!” Christopher’s steely eyes were frosty as he red at Yuliana. Finally, he let go of her wrist
roughly and thundered, “Why did youe here?”
Yuliana lowered her gaze. She rubbed her wrist and pursed her lips before answering, “La had me
come over.”
Christopher sneered, “And you actually did as she asked? I never knew you could be so obedient.”
Yuliana matched his sarcastic tone, snorting as she snapped, “It’s not like the Sce family would
leave me alone otherwise.”
Perhaps if she were to quit her job, leave Juxshire, and go somewhere the Sce family would never
be able to find her, then they might just stop pestering her.
That would be a petty move, but she could not afford to actually go into hiding. It would only be too
easy for the Sce family to make life difficult for her.
On the other hand, Christopher was momentarily stumped by what she said.
He understood Kendrick and La well enough to know that they would never let an illegitimate child of
the Sce family live outside the family.
An awkward silenceter, Christopher uttered, “Let me arrange a driver to send you home.”
