Elisa is still Nicholas's son's wife, and Christina is the child she brought along.
So many years have passed, if they don't see each other for a short period, wouldn't others think that the Cavendish family lacks tolerance?
Moreover, it was Jennifer who drugged, and it was William and Christina who had sex.
Christina is only 21 years old and is William's niece by status.
If this gets out, the Cavendish family's reputation will be ruined.
William's voice was very cold, "Why did you move in?"
Christina had no interest in their argument.
"Grandpa, you and Uncle can talk slowly, I'll leave first." Christina originally wanted to slip away directly, but Nicholas was still standing there.
Her mother was still in the Cavendish family.
She should show some respect to Nicholas.
But when William said she couldn't leave, he really meant it.
William blocked her way, and that wasn't enough, he even grabbed her wrist tightly, restraining her.
Nicholas saw this scene, and his blood pressure shot up.
William was also a stubborn person, he had to see for himself.
But Christina wasn't wrong, even Christina could think that William was addicted to her, let alone others.
He walked over to Christina with a gloomy face.
"You all go out, I need to talk to Christina."
Nicholas's face didn't look good, and Christina knew that whatever Nicholas had to say to her, it wouldn't be good.
And the people Nicholas brought immediately went to get William.
William didn't care.
In any case!
Christina couldn't leave through that door.
Soon, only Nicholas and Christina were left in the room.
Christina wasn't in a hurry to speak.
Nicholas looked at Christina and said in a low voice, "You see the current situation, if you continue to stay here and it gets exposed, it won't be good for you, William, or the Cavendish family."
Christina made her stance clear, "It's not that I want to stay here. Grandpa, I don't accept going abroad, my studies are here, I grew up in Stargate City."
"You don't have to leave, but if you have your uterus removed, I can compensate you."
Hearing the words "have your uterus removed," Christina laughed in anger.
But she waited for Nicholas to finish speaking.
Christina chuckled softly, "How much do you think is appropriate, Grandpa?"
Nicholas didn't speak, already thinking about the amount in his mind.
Before Nicholas could speak, Christina said calmly, "You give me five million dollars, five million dollars is a lot for me, but I'm young, I haven't even graduated from college yet."
"In the future, I can have a job, I can earn money with my own hands. In the future, I will get married and have children, Grandpa, you have seven children, who knows if I will have eight or ten in the future?"
"If the price of a child's life is ten million dollars, how much would ten be? Moreover, my children can have children, and their children can have children, how much value is that?"
Nicholas's face turned dark.
If calculated according to Christina, the value would be infinite.
Nicholas said coldly, "You can't calculate it like that."
Christina's smile remained, "Why not? A person's value is infinite, especially for a woman. To put it bluntly, from ancient times to the present, some women without jobs, their only value is to have children, right?"
Without a uterus, can a woman still be considered a woman?
Look, Nicholas didn't speak, clearly agreeing with Christina's words.
Christina's lips curled into a mocking smile, "Grandpa, in your eyes, you agree that a woman's value is like this. So why should I exchange my most valuable thing with you? Besides, I'm the one who got hurt, I haven't even asked Uncle to compensate me, I've made my stance clear, why still press me?"
Christina's words made Nicholas's face stiffen.
He was so old, yet he was being lectured by Christina here.
Moreover, Christina was indeed the one who was wronged, and he couldn't refute what she said.
"Grandpa, Uncle said I must stay here. But I am free, as his father, if you don't even have this bit of authority, then you are really old."
Christina said these words on purpose.
Nicholas cared about reputation, right?
Then she would find problems with reputation, she didn't believe Nicholas could remain indifferent.
Sure enough, Nicholas's face became more and more unpleasant.
Nicholas didn't say anything, he left the room with his cane.
Outside the door were Nicholas's bodyguards and William.
Nicholas walked up to William with a gloomy face, "We all thought this was Christina's problem at first, but Jennifer admitted it."
"You're old enough, don't you know who's really at fault here?"
William certainly knew.
He was Christina's uncle in name, and he had sex with Christina, so it was his problem.
And Christina had made her stance clear, he shouldn't keep holding on to Christina.
But!
Was Christina really innocent?
Why was Christina there?
Christina even said she liked William?
Christina reported Jennifer, Christina said so many rebellious things, wasn't Christina deliberately provoking?
If he let Christina go, and she got pregnant, or she talked nonsense outside, creating a situation where he had to marry Christina.
William didn't want to see that happen, "I know very well, that's why I have to keep Christina here. Dad, I'm an adult, I know what I'm doing."
"Even if there's public opinion in the end, the one who has to marry Christina is me."
"You, you, you!"
Nicholas almost couldn't catch his breath.
William glanced at the bodyguards, "Send my dad back to the Cavendish Mansion."
"Yes."
The bodyguards were also afraid of Nicholas having an accident, and given the current situation, it was safer to take Nicholas away.
After the bodyguards took Nicholas away, William walked into the room with a gloomy face.
Christina was sitting on the sofa, waiting, but when she saw William walk in, she realized the whole problem.
"Didn't expect Uncle to really be so obsessed with me. Uncle, do you think in the end you'll go against everyone and marry me?"
"You really think so." William stared coldly at Christina, "Christina, is this your real goal?"
Christina's lips curved into a sneer, "Are you a worm in my stomach to know my thoughts?"
