Chapter 122 Charlie Hadley
Christina sat in the car, and the faint scent of agarwood lingered in the air. This scent didn’t seem like a
specific perfume, but rather one that could change its fragrance depending on the person’s body.
temperature.
At that moment, Nathaniel’s masculine scent came to life.
“Are we going to a party?” Christina asked curiously. Nathaniel hadn’t mentioned it beforehand.
“Banues’ wine party,” Nathaniel replied.
Christina had heard of the name before. The brand was famous internationally, and every year it would
hold an anniversary day exclusively for members.
For ordinary people, it was a good opportunity to expand their social circle. But for Nathaniel, a wine.
party at this level didn’t require his personal appearance.
Is there another reason?
Christina hesitated and asked, “Is there anything special about this party?”
Nathaniel paused for a moment, then held Christina’s small hand. Her hand was tiny and tender, like a
child’s.
It made him feel like protecting her.
“Back then, my parents met at this wine party. They both love this wine and would attend the party every
year,” Nathaniel said placidly.
Suddenly, Christina realized why Julia valued this party so much and even had a custom-made gown.
designed.
The reason was that she could see Nathaniel’s father.
From this, it was clear that Julia still hadn’t let go of Nathaniel’s father.
Half an hour later, the car slowly stopped at the entrance of the venue.
Nathaniel held Christina’s hand and they got out of the car before walking into the venue together.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJulia wore a sleek dark blue gown, looking dignified and elegant. She chatted with several wealthy ladies
who were considered her old friends from her younger days.
One wealthy lady proudly showed off her gown. “This dress was personally sewn by the designer Kevel,
and the workmanship is excellent.”
“I envy you for being able to hire Kevel. Could you introduce him to me someday?” These famous
designers were not easy to hire.
The wealthy lady was flattered by their compliments and casually said, “Last month, I offered the
designer Ada ten million to make me a dress, but she was unavailable, so I had no choice but to hire
Kevel instead.”
The wealthy ladies listened and became even more envious. Who wouldn’t want a custom-made gown?

Julia remained calm, but her heart was disturbed. Christina gave up such a high-paying commission for
me?
The image of the girl wearing a mask and embroidering every day in the sewing room flashed across her
mind. When she thought of how the girl had deliberately hidden her identity to get closer to her, she felt a
little uncomfortable.
Nathaniel walked over with Christina at this moment.
As soon as Julia saw Christina, any positive feelings she had disappeared. She looked Christina up and
down and sneered, “It’s good to bring her out to see the world so that she won’t embarrass the Hadley
family when interacting with people in our circles.”
Her disdainful tone sounded icy as if no matter how hard Christina tried to please her, she would still be
rejected.
Christina wasn’t angry. She replied calmly, “Nathaniel has everything, and I’ve seen everything there is to
see in the world.”
Julia’s lips curved into a smile. This brat is quite eloquent indeed!
Suddenly, a figure brushed past Christina from behind, causing the girl to stumble and spill her drink onto
Julia’s gown.
“Ah… Ms. Christina, how could you be so careless?” Helen was the first to react as she anxiously stared
at the wet patch on Julia’s dress.
Leaving the party at this moment when it had just started would not be appropriate, but attending the
party in a wet dress would invite ridicule.
The atmosphere became cold, and everyone’s faces looked grim.
Christina’s face turned slightly red as she was intimidated by Julia’s angry gaze. After a moment of
silence, she said in embarrassment, “I didn’t mean to do that. I’ll compensate you with a new dress.”
Christina then turned to Sebastian. “Go to the car trunk and bring the spare dress.”
Afraid that Julia would be relentless in her scolding. Christina pulled Nathaniel’s arm and hurried.
away.
Sebastian quickly brought the dress in a gift box and handed it to Helen, saying, “Mrs. Hadley, this is the
dress that Ms. Christina is compensating you with
He then left after completing his task.
Helen opened the box and was surprised to see the jasmine dress that Julia had asked her to burn.
“M-Mrs. Hadley, um… we have no choice. It’s better to wear it now first. This is a dress that many
wealthy ladies envy!” Helen sounded cautious, fearing that she would upset Julia.
Julia had yet to meet the person she wanted to meet, so she didn’t want to leave yet. She remained
calm, took the gift box without any expression, and went to the dressing room to get changed.
Soon, the party was in full swing, and the brand manager of Banues opened a new bottle of wine in the
center of the living room and invited the guests to taste it.
Christina took a few sips of the wine, and the fragrant aroma filled her nose. The wine tasted so

smooth that she unconsciously finished the entire glass of it.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Do you like it?” Nathaniel asked, seeing that she seemed to be drinking wine for the first time. This wine
was not very high in alcohol content, and it had a strong fruity fragrance. Christina had drunk it as though
it was a normal non-alcoholic beverage.
Christina nodded. “I do.”
Nathaniel turned to Sebastian and said, “Place an order for ten boxes.”
Sebastian hummed in acknowledgment and left to handle the order.
As a couple approached the brand manager. Nathaniel’s gaze fell on them, and his expression turned
slightly cold.
Christina could feel the temperature around her dropping and curiously followed Nathaniel’s gaze.
A middle-aged couple was standing together, wearing matching black formal wear. The man was
wearing an elegant black suit, while the woman was wearing a tailored black dress.
The woman was holding the man’s hand, and they looked like husband and wife.
The man’s features were somewhat similar to Nathaniel’s handsome, almost otherworldly face. The
curve of his nose and jaw, especially made him look as though he had stepped straight out of an oil
painting
This is your father, right?” Christina widened her eyes in shock. It’s really Charlie Hadley.
Nathaniel’s eyes were cold and mysterious, like a black rose in the dark. He knows that Mom will attend
every year, and yet he openly brought his mistress here.
Charlie had no regard for Julia’s status as Mrs. Hadley at all.
That was why Nathaniel hated their whole family, including their child, Francis Fernando.
Upon learning the truth, Christina opened her mouth in disbelief. How could Charlie behave so
outrageously and not consider Mrs. Hadley’s feelings?
At that moment Julia had already changed her clothes and came out.
She took slow steps toward the brand manager, and the guests couldn’t help but look at this esteemed
lady wherever she passed by
