Chapter 827: Chapter 828

Christine snapped back to reality and murmured a thank you.

“No need to be formal with me, sis.” Merritt carefully applied the burn cream on Christine’s wound, even blowing gently to ease the sting.

Christine had endured far worse injuries before, yet Merritt's tender care somehow filled her heart with warmth.

“Merritt.”

“Yes, sis?”

Christine reached out and tousled his hair, “You won.”

Merritt smiled, “Let’s leave the past in the past, sis. Time doesn’t flow backward, we need to look ahead.”

“Alright.” Christine nodded in agreement.

After applying the ointment, they left the clinic.

Primo and Dailey hid in a corner, secretly sighing.

...

When Jayne arrived at Merritt’s place, she was informed by Helena that Christine had gone back to Vista Town.

Rushing back to Vista Town, she was told Christine was on her way home. She quickly instructed her driver to head there.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the community, not going further in.

Merritt got out first, then helped Christine out.

They were about to walk in when a voice stopped them in their tracks.

“Christine.”

Recognizing the voice, Christine turned around to see Jayne.

“Hello, Aunt Jayne.”

“You don’t have to pretend with me. I know your true colors.”

...

The Clarkson family was hard to please, and Christine, with her blunt manner, was no exception.

“What do you want?” Christine asked directly, too tired from her journey to indulge in small talk.

“Let’s find a cozy place to talk,” Jayne suggested.

Christine declined, “Just get to the point. I’m too exhausted from my flight to sit around.”

Christine boldly demanded, “Ten billion.”

“You’re insane.”

“Then I want to marry Dailey.”

“You’re even more insane.”

At a loss, Christine asked, “What do you expect me to say?”

Jayne, struggling to maintain her composure, tried to appeal to Christine’s alleged feelings for Dailey, suggesting she could persuade him.

Christine couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity, countering with a saying about the consequences of meddling in others’ affairs.

Jayne’s patience wore thin. “Just speak plainly, why the insinuations?”

Chapter 827 “How can you not?”

If Christine couldn’t make Dailey call off the wedding, then all hope was lost.

Lowering her stance, Jayne offered, “If you can stop Dailey’s wedding with Nelly, you’ll get your ten billion.”

Tempting as it was, Christine knew she couldn’t fulfill the request.

“I’ll be honest with you, I just came from the city hospital and asked Dailey himself. He won’t call off the wedding.”
