?Chapter 1408:


    The time they spent with her felt way too short. It flew by. They genuinely wished they’d had more time. Working with Christina wasn’t just productive; it was a joy.


    But if they crossed the line with her? They were screwed. Christina didn’t forget, didn’t forgive. Payback was guaranteed. It was just a matter of when.


    Her motto was simple and savage. “If I’m miserable, no one gets to smile.”


    Through working with Christina, they picked up more than just technical skills; they learned how to stay mentally strong, especially under pressure.


    That night, the whole restoration crew sat down for dinner together, finally able to rx and enjoy the moment.


    After the meal, they posted a long, heartfelt message on Twitter, packed with praise and deep appreciation for Christina’s leadership and talent.


    Her work had blown everyone away. Not one person had anything negative to say, just pure admiration across the board. When the final mural hit the inte, it exploded. Netizens couldn’t stop talking about it.


    “Oh my god! I thought she was hyping it up, but she actually nailed it! I’m officially a fan!”


    “This is stunning! I heard it’s even better in person. I’m going to Jasgow the first chance I get.”


    “Alright folks, I’m going there first. I’ll report back!”


    The mural’s beauty won hearts fast. People were hooked, and Christina gained a wave of new fans, all amazed by her skill and vision.


    Two days had passed.


    “Jordy, are you sure it’s fine for just us to sneak off to Morfort Restaurant alone?” Christina asked, ncing his way, amused but uncertain.


    “Why not? Sounds perfect to me.” Jordy grinned, that smug, knowing smile of his giving everything away.


    He wasn’t just taking her out for a meal; this was a setup. A carefully nned meeting. He was sure once Christina met this person, she’d be thrilled. Maybe even impressed.


    Christina’s lips twitched into a knowing smile. She’d seen that look before. Jordy was way too easy to read.


    ???????? ?????? ?????????????? ????????: g???????ν????????????


    If she was right, Jordy was taking her to dinner with none other than Calvin. Funny thing was, she’d actually arranged this meeting herself. She just hadn’t known when it would happen.


    Knowing Jordy idolized Calvin, she’d quietly reached out and invited the doctor to Jasgow so they could meet. Calvin wasn’t just any surgeon; he was world-famous, the kind of man Jordy dreamed of bing one day.


    Naturally, Jordy figured that since she shared his passion for medicine, she’d be just as eager to meet the man he looked up to.


    The thought made Christina smile wider, warmth blooming quietly in her chest. It felt good, being loved like this. Family affection was something she was still getting used to, but she couldn’t deny how much it meant.


    Still, a shadow from her past held her back. Every time she let her guard down, the fear whispered. What if it all disappeared again?


    The thought always left her guilty. They’d done nothing but care for her, and yet she couldn’t shake that fear. One betrayal had been enough to make her cautious forever.
