"What nonsense are you spouting!" Elisa's face changed dramatically.
Gabrielle laughed coldly, "Nonsense? I think someone is clearly feeling guilty!"
The next second, she changed her tone, "Why don't we just follow up and check it out?"
"Gabrielle."
Elisa called out her name.
But what use was Elisa's anger?
Gabrielle completely ignored Elisa, and Elisa never expected that Gabrielle would become a driving force in achieving her plan.
But these words had already deeply impacted Nicholas.
Nicholas's face darkened, "Go check Christina's whereabouts..."
"Dad! If you investigate like this, William is also a formidable person. Why not just conduct a surprise inspection?"
"No way!"
Gabrielle interrupted Nicholas, and Elisa strongly opposed Gabrielle's words. Gabrielle smiled triumphantly, "No way, no way, why not?"
"After all, Christina is still with William!"
Gabrielle said heavily.
Now Nicholas had lost his appetite. He immediately gave orders and took people to William's villa.
He didn't inform anyone before coming. At the Cavendish Mansion, Gabrielle kept an eye on Elisa, giving her no chance to tip anyone off.
But Elisa had no intention of tipping anyone off.
Raymond, on the side, had already seen through everything but chose to remain silent.
When Nicholas arrived at William's villa, William was in the study. Nicholas didn't allow any servants to disturb William and led a surprise inspection himself.
When he saw Christina in the room, Nicholas was instantly furious.
"What is the meaning of this? What are you doing here?"
Christina didn't expect Nicholas to come.
However, she could only get out of bed now, or else Nicholas might have his bodyguards drag her out of bed, which would be too humiliating.
Christina stood opposite Nicholas, calm and composed, "The reason I'm here, Grandpa, you should ask Uncle."
"I let her stay here. As for the birth control pills, who knows if they're real or not."
A faint voice came from behind Nicholas.
Nicholas turned around to see William striding over, his expression indifferent and cold, showing no sign of panic at being discovered.
Nicholas's eyes were cold, "Aren't you afraid of this being spread around? Do I need to spell out what your relationship is?"
"My relationship with her is none of the Cavendish family's business." William said coldly, not even glancing at Christina.
He didn't care about Christina at all.
In other words, Christina was not part of the Cavendish family.
Christina understood William's meaning clearly and had no intention of arguing with him.
But now that Nicholas was here, he could take her away.
Christina said softly, "Since I'm not part of the Cavendish family, why am I being restricted? What right do you have to control me?"
"Grandpa, even if the birth control pills are fake, I've taken so many. Even if I am pregnant, I'm still in Stargate City, aren't I?"
She was in Stargate City and couldn't run away.
If she was really pregnant, they could force her to the hospital and have it terminated, couldn't they?
"You absolutely cannot be pregnant, and she cannot stay here. The Cavendish family cannot withstand such rumors." Nicholas said, leaning on his cane, his black suit adding to his current authority.
William said indifferently, "The Cavendish family is powerful. We are the main characters in this matter, and I will decide her fate."
William was indeed William. No matter who stood before him, he remained indifferent and unyielding.
Christina used to like this trait in him, but now?
To hell with it!
"You're not my father, nor my husband. Why should you decide?"
Christina's words immediately drew everyone's attention.
Nicholas's face turned extremely ugly, "Do you have any right to speak here?"
"I may not have the right to speak, but didn't Uncle just say? We are the main characters in this matter. This is between him and me."
"But it's not just up to Uncle. Even if I say these words outside, I'm still right." Christina said arrogantly, calmly.
The next second, Christina thought of leaving, but William stepped forward, blocking her path.
His tall figure was as imposing as a mountain.
Christina felt nothing but irritation and disgust.
"Uncle, no matter who stands in front of you now, you won't let me go, will you?"
William's thin lips opened coldly, "Half a month hasn't passed yet. I won't allow any accidents."
These words made Christina particularly resentful, "Then I think it's better if you kill me, dismember me, and bury me. That way, my womb won't carry your child, and I won't appear before you again."
With so many pills, what could go wrong?
"Do you think I don't dare?" William's eyes flashed with a fierce glint.
William was cold and ruthless, capable of going to such lengths.
Christina knew he was not to be trifled with, but with Nicholas here, William wouldn't kill her.
The most important point was that she could make William unhappy.
Christina smiled, "I know you dare, but you haven't done it yet. Uncle, I didn't drug you. Your beloved first love has already admitted it. Why trouble me?"
"With your behavior, it's hard not to suspect you're addicted to making love to me and want to be with me." Christina's words were almost provocatively challenging.
William's face darkened with a thick layer of displeasure.
Christina smiled silently.
Nicholas hated the Cavendish family's reputation being tarnished. He had long planned William's marriage.
As the head of the Cavendish family, the person he married had to be of equal status.
Jennifer was just from a family of scholars. What was that?
He didn't approve of Jennifer, and now there was Christina.
And William still had this attitude.
Nicholas's anger surged, "Are you two done? Am I dead to you now? Do my words carry no weight?"
Nicholas's series of questions were almost roars.
William and Christina remained silent.
But William's attitude was clear, "Half a month is the best time to prove it, and it was you, Christina, who suggested it."
"Then I'll stay here?"
Nicholas's face was cold.
Killing, dismembering, and removing the womb were all out of the question!
