?Chapter 480:


    Surely the tears would follow, and Christina would be humiliated in front of everyone.


    “I’ll be there,” Christina said, her smile widening as she cast Brendon a look. “And I’ll personally give you both a grand gift.”


    Ynda’s heart skipped. Her grip on Brendon’s arm tightened as she leaned in closer to him. “Christina… You’re not still hung up on Brendon, are you? You’re not nning to ruin our engagement, right?” she asked, her voice a little uneasy.


    “I have better things to do,” Christina replied calmly.


    Ynda blinked in confusion. “So… You’re not going to try and take him from me at the party?”


    Christina almost rolled her eyes when she heard that. To take Brendon, that scoundrel, away from Ynda? As if he was worth the trouble.


    “There’s no man in this world worth fighting over,” she said with a serene smile. Her disdainful gaze carried an air of superiority, making it clear she was above all that. If a man needed her to fight for him, then he wasn’t worth having.


    “Do you really mean that?” Ynda asked, still skeptical. After all, Christina had spent three years with the Dawson family, giving everything she had. How could a woman like that just walk away so easily?


    But what Ynda didn’t know was that Christina’s devotion during those years wasn’t solely for Brendon. It was Bethel’s kindness and sincerity that had truly touched her heart.


    Seeing the doubt and insecurity in Ynda’s expression, Christina couldn’t resist teasing her a little. Her lips lifted in a faint, amused smile as she leaned in slightly. “What’s wrong? Afraid you can’t keep Brendon? Since you’ve stolen him from me, you should have what it takes to hold onto him.”


    Ynda’s face darkened, and something sharp flickered in her eyes. “Christina,” she murmured, her eyes turning red with calcted sorrow, her performance right back. “I didn’t steal Brendon from you. I knew Brendon before you ever did. I don’t need to hold onto him. All these years, he has always been devoted to me.”


    Ynda was clearly suggesting that Christina was the pathetic soul who had never been loved by Brendon, even after three years of marriage. Brendon’s heart had always been with her, and Christina hadn’t even imed a ce in it despite all her efforts.


    Ynda’s aggrieved look stirred something in Brendon. His heart ached, but at the same time, he felt a wave of irritation. For a moment, he didn’t even know what he was feeling.

    “Christina.” His brows pulled together as he shot her a cold look. “Ynda never fights or argues. She’s not like you. And yes, I’ve known her longer…”


    Christina understood what they were trying to say, but she didn’t feel like ying their game. “Alright then. Don’t let me down. Love each other for a lifetime,” she said with a smile.


    Brendon, of course, thought she was just pretending to be strong. In his eyes, her smile wasced with jealousy. He believed she still loved him and was just putting up a front. Women, he thought, always said the opposite of what they meant.


    “Thank you for the blessing, Christina. We’ll definitely love each other for a lifetime. Happily ever after,” Ynda said sweetly, leaning closer to Brendon.


    Christina turned to leave but paused, as if remembering something. “Oh, one more thing,” she said, ncing back with a light smile. “Don’t forget to transfer five percent of the Dawson Group’s shares to me. Let me know when the papers are ready.”
