Chapter 29

William remained silent, the sarcasm in his eyes growing more intense.

He thought about avoiding suspicion, but would that really work?

Christina kept causing trouble, and when she couldn't handle it, she would come to him for help. Today, the media didn't catch it, but who knows about the future?

"Mr. Cavendish, are we heading back to the company now, or should I get out and bring Ms. Windsor back?" Bob didn't wait for William's answer and couldn't guess his thoughts, so he had to forcefully continue asking.

William frowned, "Why bring her back? Just drive."

He didn't want to have any entanglements with Christina; out of sight, out of mind.

Meanwhile, with Jennifer.

Since the afternoon, she had been anxiously waiting in her bedroom, waiting until now.

Several times she couldn't wait any longer and wanted to call, but she was afraid the call would disturb the other party, so she had to be patient.

Finally, her phone rang.

She hurriedly answered the call, "How did it go?"

"The plan failed."

"What? I calculated everything so well, how could it fail!" Jennifer's face turned extremely ugly.

She had been waiting for so long, hoping for good news, not bad news!

She had hired so many people, and they couldn't even deal with one woman, Christina.

"Did you take my money and not want to do the job, deliberately fooling me?" Jennifer directly questioned, "We are in this together, and the final payment hasn't been settled. If you want to get the money, then follow my instructions."

"Don't give me excuses, I just want Christina dead. If you failed today, then think of another way. I only care about the result."

After hanging up the phone, Jennifer's eyes were full of malice.

She hadn't expected that day to lead to Christina and William having a sexual relationship. Only a dead person would make her feel at ease.

So Christina must die!

After all the fuss, Christina was hungry and decided to go into a mall and find a restaurant to sit down and eat something.

While waiting for the food, Elisa called, "Christina, where are you now?"

"I'm eating. Do you need something?" Christina's tone was indifferent.

Knowing Elisa, if there was nothing important, she wouldn't have made this call.

And she was right.

Elisa directly informed her, "You're not young anymore; it's time to get married. I've arranged a blind date for you tomorrow at noon. You must be there on time."

Christina laughed self-deprecatingly.

This was her biological mother, arranging a blind date for her and expecting her to comply.

But did Elisa ever consider whether she was willing to go on a blind date?

Why didn't anyone respect her personal wishes!

"I'm not interested in blind dates, so you don't need to bother arranging them. I won't go tomorrow." Christina stated directly.

This immediately angered Elisa.

She scolded, "If you don't go on a blind date now, when will you? Do you want to wait until you're over thirty to find a partner? By then, all the good men will be taken. I'm your mother; I won't harm you. You must listen to me."

"Even if all the good men are taken, it's my choice, and I'll bear the consequences. You don't need to worry." No matter what Elisa said, Christina refused to compromise.

Being forced into a blind date was just the beginning.

If she compromised, then after the blind date, it would be pressure to marry, then to have children, and even a second or third child.

This was not the life Christina wanted.

"Are you trying to drive me to my death? Will you only listen if I'm dead?" Elisa hung up the phone in anger.

Christina put her phone aside, ignoring it.

She didn't believe Elisa would really seek death just because she refused a blind date.

The food was quickly served, and she had just picked up a piece of egg with her fork when she heard the familiar ringtone again.

It was Elisa's call.

Christina really didn't want to answer, but after all, it was her biological mother. She thought for a moment and finally pressed the answer button.

"Mom is asking you one last time, will you go to the blind date tomorrow?" Elisa started with this matter.

"No."

Christina's answer was simple and straightforward, "No matter how many times you ask, I won't go. I advise you not to waste your efforts."

"Fine, then I'll die today to show you!" Elisa threatened.

She was already at the hospital. In front of everyone, she took out a prepared fruit knife from her bag and slashed her wrist.

Blood gushed out immediately.

Everyone around was terrified, and medical staff rushed over, grabbing the knife from her hand.

"Someone's slashed their wrist, notify the emergency doctor."

"Take her to the emergency room, quickly. She's losing a lot of blood, stop the bleeding."

Elisa remained motionless, looking at the phone on the ground, raising her voice, "Christina, if you don't go to the blind date, you won't have a mother!"

"Ma'am, life is precious. Even if you're angry with your child, you can't risk your life. Let's bandage the wound first." The doctor kept persuading Elisa.

A nurse picked up the phone.

She glanced at the screen, still in the call, and couldn't help but help Elisa persuade Christina, "Your mother has slashed her wrist. Her emotions are very unstable. You should come over and say something to calm her down, don't let her do anything drastic."

"It's just a blind date. You can go and find an excuse to decline later. A blind date doesn't mean it will work out. There's no need to go against your parents; the cost is too high."

Christina was in a daze.

If she hadn't heard it herself, she wouldn't have believed her mother would slash her wrist over her refusal to go on a blind date.

If this got out, wouldn't people laugh at her?

Elisa was forcing her into an awkward and painful situation.

"We're at Evergreen Hospital. Your mother is in the emergency room. If you want to come, hurry. I'll go check on the patient." The nurse added before hanging up and rushing to the emergency room.

On the other end, Christina looked at the food on the table, feeling no appetite.

With Elisa causing such a scene, she had no choice but to go.

After paying the bill, Christina left the mall, hailed a cab, and rushed to Evergreen Hospital as quickly as possible.
