Chapter 212 Liar

Seeing Julia’s expression turn grim, Madison could not help but chuckle inwardly.

Aware of Julia’s unwavering faith in the priest, Madison anticipated that Julia would perceive Christina as a source of misfortune in the family and ultimately evict her from the house.

Julia staggered backward, and her face turned ashen. Helen immediately went up to hold her.

“Are you okay, Mrs. Hadley?” Helen was terrified.

Christina had the intention of going up and assisting Julia, but Madison intervened and forcefully pushed

her aside.

With a sarcastic tone, she said, “Did you not hear the priest call you a jinx? Can you please get out of here?”

Christina felt a sense of injustice. Based on the current situation, it appeared that Madison was colluding with the priest. Christina even noticed them exchanging knowing glances with each other. But will she believe me if I tell her this?

After steadying herself, Julia cast a serious glance at the priest. “You seem quite confident in your assertions, but I have never disclosed to anyone that Christina is my daughter–in–law.”

“Uh…” The priest was at a loss for words, blaming himself internally for his slip of the tongue.

Julia’s face, typically known for its amicable nature, now burned with an unusual fury as she cast a sharp glance at her surroundings. “Christina has been with us for years, and Hadley Corporation has been doing exceptionally well. Our business even reaches new heights. So, your accusations hold no ground! Someone must have paid you to utter such nonsense. I trusted you, but you let me down. Don’t expect me to step into this church again!”

Christina might not be the daughter–in–law of her choice, but Julia would never allow anyone to defame

her.
