Chapter 276
Yuliana silently took the cotton swab from him. She helped apply the medicine to his wound before
putting a Band-Aid on it. While packing the first aid kit, she asked, “What happened?”
“I identally bumped into something.” Christopher seemed unbothered.
He observed Yuliana tidying up the first aid kit with a profound gaze as if he was thinking about
something.
As Yuliana nced at him, the couple made eye contact. She remained silent for a moment before
saying, “Liar.”

From Christopher’s gaze before, it was clear to her that he was contemting. He wouldn’t have
shown such an expression if he unintentionally bumped into something. Besides, that wouldn’t have
resulted in him sustaining such a wound. Instead, it looked like his forehead got cut by something.
Yuliana took off her shoes and curled up her legs on the couch. She stared at Christopher quietly with a
pair of limpid eyes.
Christopher gulped twice as he noticed her gaze. Eventually, he extended his lengthy arm and pulled
her into his embrace. “I’m sorry, Ana.”
He sounded hoarse and grating. There was a hint of frustration and helplessness in his tone too.
At that moment, Yuliana couldn’t help but be softhearted. She raised her hand and patted him on
the shoulder. “It’s fine if you don’t want to say it. I won’t force you. You don’t have to say sorry to me
too.”
She knew why Christopher apologized.
He felt that the Sce family’s dispute caused Yuliana to be dragged into the mess, resulting in her
past getting exposed online. Currently,izens even raised reports by calling the Education Bureau,
hoping that the school would fire her.
Theseizens even wanted to check whether it was legal for Yuliana to be admitted to Juxshire
Primary School and whether she had used any special privileges throughout her life.
Over the past two days, the school contacted her to discuss this matter. Although the school didn’t say
it explicitly, it wasn’t hard toprehend what they meant. They hoped Yuliana would voluntarily
resign. After all, she got admitted into Juxshire Primary School with her own ability and didn’t use any
backhanded methods. One could not find fault with her in other aspects too.
Yuliana also exined to the school that her being the so-called homewrecker and how she cheated on
her spouse were entirely fabricated.
Yuliana didn’t immediately respond about the resignation. She felt that since she
didn’t do anything wrong, she didn’t need to quit her job.
However, she also clearly understood that the school had no choice but to make such a decision.
Otherwise, people would call and harass the school daily. They even received a lot ofints. The
teachers in the school would also have their personal information posted on the Inte, and people
would try to uncover if there were any problematic issues with them. It wasn’t like everyone had an
immacte past. Everyone would be at risk. Then, it would be impossible for them to teach. their
students in ss as usual.
Christopher didn’t reply to Yuliana’s remarks. Afterpsing into silence, he abruptly tilted his head and
kissed her on the cheek before proceeding to kiss her on the lips. His actions gradually became more
aggressive.
His mouth reeked of alcohol. Yuliana subconsciously pushed Christopher away a few times, as she
disliked the smell. However, the man backhandedly gripped her wrists and pinned her to the couch
behind them.
Yuliana struggled. “Not here.”
What they were doing was as though they were trying to numb the nerves temporarily in exchange for
a brief moment of rxation.
Christopher didn’t intend to stop his actions at all.
Realizing that she couldn’t persuade him, Yuliana said anxiously, “Go back to our
room!”
Christopher paused for a moment. He brushed away the hair on her face before cupping her chin to
kiss her lips. He stood, carried her upstairs, and headed straight into the bathroom.
The next day, Yuliana was already awake when Christopher woke up.
She grabbed his arm. Christopher turned around and looked at her. “Did I disturb your sleep?”
Yuliana shook her head as she stared at the wound on his head. She reminded him, “Go downstairs
and apply some medicine to your woundter. Don’t use iodine, as it will leave a scar.”
Christopher uttered a soft acknowledgment. He ced his palm on the back of her head and leaned
over to lick her chapped lower lip. “You should sleep a little longer. I’ll arrange for someone to settle the
matter with the school. Don’t worry.”
Yuliana remained silent for a while. She looked up at him and rubbed the newly grown stubble on his
chin with her hand. “I’ve decided to resign. You don’t need to get involved in this.”
Sce Corporation was targeted by rivals on every side now. Although
Christopher didn’t mention anything, she could roughly guess it based on his and
Joyce’s recent reactions.
Besides, Yuliana didn’t want to cause any trouble to the teachers and students in the school because of
her.
“Resign?” Christopher stared at her. “Why should you quit?”
Yuliana grinned. “I’m not going to work for the time being. Roe is still so young. I want to take care of
him for two more years. I can resume working when he grows older. Why? Do you think you can’t
support us?”
A glint shed across Christopher’s eyes. He stayed quiet for a while before chuckling. “Ana, I thought I
could give you happiness, but it seems things don’t always go as I wish.”
His words stunned Yuliana momentarily. When she regained her senses, she noticed the other party
had curled his lips self-deprecatingly.
Christopher looked at Yuliana with a warm gaze. His fingers glided before Yuliana’s eyes andnded
on her soft cheeks. He caressed her face. “It’s still early. Take a nap. I’ll ask Kylie to watch over Roe.”
Yuliana blinked and hummed in acknowledgment.
Christopher rose to his feet to freshen up. Afterward, he headed to the walk-in wardrobe to change his
shirt and trousers. The man came out with a coat and a tie in his hand. Noticing that Yuliana was
staring at him, he beamed. “It seems like I wasn’t aggressive enoughst night.”
Yuliana’s cheeks flushed as she red at him.
After Christopher left, Yulianay on the bed for a while. Although she couldn’t sleep, her body felt limp
and powerless. Hence, she didn’t want to move. Many things surfaced in her mind.
That morning, she informed the school that she was willing to resign. She would send the relevant
materials regarding her resignation to the school soon. As for the formalities that needed to be followed
up subsequently, she would find time to go to the school to settle them.
Less than an hour after her conversation with the school ended, there was a post on the school’s
official website concerning Yuliana’s resignation.
After the announcement was released, it soon became a trending topic on Twitter, and there was
another heated discussion.
Manyizensmented: [I knew it. Sure enough, there’s something fishy about her. Otherwise, the
school wouldn’t have fired her.]
Yuliana didn’t pay attention to the biased or unbiasedments on the Inte anymore. The
commotion finally came to an end after over ten days.
She only knew about the car incident that Christopher had gotten into when
Joyce shared it with her a few dayster.
The car ident wasn’t a mistake, but a premeditated murder attempt. The other party wanted to kill
Christopher. Even if the person failed to do so, he wanted him to be crippled. Fortunately, Jack reacted
quickly and avoided the car in time.
The car and its owner were found the next day.
The owner of that car was still in deep slumber when he was discovered. There was the stench of
alcohol all over his body. The man imed that he couldn’t remember what urred the previous
night. However, he couldn’t refute it once he saw the video recorded by the dashboard camera.
Although the driver was guilty of drunk driving and escaping, he hadn’t caused a major ident. The
driver was willing topensate Christopher, and the former would be sentenced to a maximum of a
few years.
