?Chapter 1484:
Christina smiled softly and reached out to sp his hand. “Don’t worry. I’ve got plenty of tricks up my sleeve. I’ll manage just fine—you have to trust me.”
Kurt let out a boomingugh. “You certainly are a clever one,” he said, shaking his head fondly. “But no matter how capable you are, I’ll still worry.”
Then Celine spoke up, her voice calm but firm. “Why don’t we send Robin with her? Considering the rtionship between our families, his presence in Dorfield would make the Scotts think twice before doing anything rash.”
“Christina, let Robin go with you. It’ll ease my mind knowing someone’s there to look after you,” Kurt agreed immediately.
Christina blinked, taken aback. She hadn’t expected that suggestion.
Knowing Robin’s temperament, she could already imagine him storming right up to Dn’s door, ready to throw punches first and ask questionster.
“So, when are you nning to head back to Dorfield? I’ming with you. If that guy gives you any trouble, I’ll make sure he regrets it.” Robin punctuated his words by clenching his fist, his gesture full of confidence.
Christina couldn’t help the small smile tugging at her lips. Lowering her voice, she teased, “But… are you sure you could actually take him in a fight?”
Robin froze, caughtpletely off guard, his confidence faltering. “Hey, why do you always assume I’ll solve things with my fists?” he protested. “I can beat him with my brains, you know.”
Christina chuckled under her breath, amusement glinting in her eyes. In truth, she doubted he’d win—whether it was through muscle or mind.
“Alright then,” she said lightly. “I’ll let you know when I’m ready to leave.”
“Good. Where are you staying now? I’ll drive you,” replied Robin.
“No need. I already have a driver. But thank you—and please make sure Lorraine and her family are dealt with properly.”
The next day, headlines across every major outlet exploded with news of the Reynolds family’s arrest.
Their crimes—every deceit, every underhanded scheme—had beenid bare for the world to see, including their ruthless attempt to seize the Miller family’s fortune.
?????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???? g???????ν?????????????
The Millers held a public press conference, announcing once and for all that all ties with the Reynolds family were severed.
Soon after, the Reynolds Corporation copsed entirely, their reputation shattered. Their fleeting glory turned to dust, and one by one, the family members found themselves behind bars.
While the world gossiped about the scandal, Christina sat at the dining table, savoring a meal Dn had cooked himself. Watching her eat with such unguarded joy filled him with quiet affection.
“Slow down,” he said softly, leaning closer to wipe a trace of food from the corner of her lips. “You’ll choke if you rush.”
“It’s just too good,” Christina said with augh, her tone unintentionally sweet.
She set down her fork, took a sip of water, and dabbed her mouth with a napkin.
“Your cooking is amazing. I can’t stop eating. What am I going to do if you ever stop making meals for me?”
Dn’s chuckle was low and warm as he brushed a hand through her hair. “That’ll never happen. I’d rather starve than let you go hungry.”
