Chapter 39

Christina struggled, unable to shake off William due to the difference in strength between men and women.

This sense of powerlessness and anger made her increasingly aware that she must learn self-defense and combat skills. It was very necessary.

Unfortunately, her other hand still couldn't muster much strength.

She feared that even if she cried out for help, no one would come to her rescue with Bob guarding outside.

Christina gave up, "Yes, I want to die. Uncle, give me a quick death. It would be good for both you and me."

"Then you won't have to suspect that I have any ulterior motives to seduce you."

William sneered, "And then I go to jail and get the punishment I deserve?"

Christina smiled broadly, "Oh, Uncle, you're so smart! Have you studied me? Or is it that you..."

"Get out!"

Christina knew exactly where William's bottom line was.

As soon as she said this, William indeed became furious and threw her aside. She stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, she didn't.

However, Christina took advantage of the situation and quickly left.

Tonight, she wanted to resist for once and found a hotel to stay in.

What she didn't expect was to run into Walter there.

Walter walked towards her with large strides, clearly noticing her.

"What are you doing here?" Walter frowned.

This was a hotel.

Moreover, Walter saw the documents in Christina's hand and immediately understood that she was here to check in.

The matter between Christina and William had caused quite a stir in the Cavendish family, but only the Cavendish family knew about it. Someone like Walter, who was abroad, wouldn't have been informed by Gabrielle.

"I left the Cavendish Mansion. I haven't found a place to stay yet."

She couldn't possibly tell Walter that her entanglement with William was the reason she didn't want to stay at William's villa.

Walter's gaze was so gentle and kind, "Did you have a fight with your mom?"

"No, I just wanted to leave the Cavendish Mansion. I haven't been very happy there these past few years. Alright, Walter, you're busy, so I'll head to my room now."

She had already checked in and paid.

Walter understood Christina's situation and didn't say much. But a girl being out so late, Walter couldn't help but give a few more reminders, "Lock your door when you sleep tonight, and don't order any takeout. Wait until tomorrow to go out for food."

"Okay."

Christina nodded and was about to turn away when Walter called out to her again, "Christina, wait. We haven't exchanged contact information. Let's do that. If I have time tomorrow, I can help you find a place."

Walter was one of the few people in the Cavendish family who treated her well.

But how could she trouble him?

"Walter, you helped me last time. How can I trouble you again this time? Besides, I can stay at school and find a job that provides room and board. You go ahead with your work."

If she accepted Walter's kindness and Gabrielle found out, wouldn't she go crazy?

And she hadn't even moved out of William's villa yet. If she started looking for a place so soon, wouldn't William kill her?

But they did add each other on Facebook.

Christina was really tired. As soon as she got to her room, she lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. William called her.

It was obvious that William was calling to scold her.

She pressed the mute button and tossed her phone aside.

No matter how many times William called or tried to find her, she was a person and deserved her own freedom.

When William saw that Christina wasn't answering, he immediately instructed Bob, "Find out where Christina is now."

Since Christina hadn't turned off her phone, locating her was a matter of minutes.

Bob reported truthfully, "Ms. Windsor is at a bed and breakfast hotel. Should we go get her now?"

William had asked him to locate Christina, clearly intending to go find her directly.

William's face was dark, his lips pressed into a thin line. But before he could say anything, Bob spoke up, "Mr. Cavendish, it's best not to go now. It's already very late. If we make a scene, it might attract media attention."

"If that happens, it could cause endless trouble for your reputation, Mr. Cavendish, and it might be hard to control."

Bob had been with William for many years. He had benefited from William's kindness and experienced his severity, but he knew what kind of person William was.

He didn't want to see William affected by such a small matter.

William said coldly, "Arrange for someone to pick her up tomorrow."

"Yes."

With William's orders, Bob had nothing more to say.

Without William and given how tired she was, Christina had a good night's sleep.

She woke up naturally.

As she was about to get up and wash, there was a knock on the door.

Christina looked through the peephole and saw several bodyguards in black suits, led by Bob.

Christina immediately understood that they were sent by William to bring her back.

Christina was speechless. She didn't open the door, and the knocking stopped. But she knew that if she didn't open the door, Bob would get a key card from the front desk.

Realizing this, Christina quickly opened the door and called William.

William didn't answer, so she called again.

This time, William's cold voice came through the phone, "What do you want so early in the morning?"

Christina laughed at William's words, "What do you want so early in the morning? What, I don't have my own freedom? In just a few days, have you seen my belly grow from pregnancy or morning sickness?"

Even if she had to stay at his place for half a month, it wasn't like she was a prisoner.

"Half a month hasn't passed yet. Do I need to remind you repeatedly?" William's face was dark, clearly impatient.

All his patience had been exhausted by Christina.

Christina coldly retorted, "I don't need you to remind me repeatedly. I have a memory, unlike you, who has no sense of security. Otherwise, you wouldn't keep doing these things."

Christina was really angry. Otherwise, she wouldn't be arguing with William. She wasn't as idle as William!

"Christina, don't push me to lay a hand on you!"
