Duncan slapped himself. How could he be unable to control his frustration and say those words?
“Christine, you know I didn’t mean it. I was just too overwhelmed.”
Christine closed her eyes and composed herself before responding, “I’m doing well now, and I don’t need anyone’s generosity, nor do I want anyone to disturb my life.”
Duncan said earnestly, “Christine, I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not protecting you well enough, leading to that despicable scumbag taking advantage of you. If he hadn’t died, I would have stabbed him to death. Christine, it’s my fault for not protecting you properly. That’s why you were hurt and had to give birth to those two children.”
Christine slowly released her tightly clenched hand, suppressing a hint of sadness in her eyes.
“It’s not your fault. You don’t have to blame yourself for this.”
Before Christine could finish, Duncan stepped forward and grabbed her hand, pleading, “Christine, please give me another chance. Let me take care of you properly and make it up to you.”
Christine wanted to shake off Duncan’s hand, but he held on tightly.
“She said let go. Are you deaf?”
Randall stood in the backlight. His voice was low and chilling.
Christine and Duncan were startled by Randall’s sudden appearance, and Duncan let go of her hand.
Randall’s eyebrows revealed his cold arrogance as he quickly approached and embraced Christine’s shoulder.
He sneered and said, “A good ex should remain as if they were dead instead of showing up without reason.”
Christine couldn’t believe that Randall would say such things. He was supposed to be the proud and ruthless Randall.
Duncan was deeply shaken upon hearing Randall’s words. Randall knew about his relationship with Christine, and he knew about Christine’s identity. Could it be that he didn’t mind it?
Duncan couldn’t let it go and asked, ‘Do you know who she is?”
Randall glanced at Duncan and replied firmly, ‘Of course, I know who she is. She is my fiancée.”
-Fiancée
Che felt like she was losing her mind. What kind of joke was this? Why was she his fiancée?
Randall narrowed his eyes and spoke with a chilling tone as he looked at Duncan, “You’re the one who’s confused. Didn’t you know she accepted my engagement gift?”
Christine was stunned. When did she accept his engagement gift?
“Randall, when did I accept your engagement gift? Don’t make things up,” Christine said softly.
Randall also spoke in a low voice, “I gave you a hundred-million-doll Christine said softly.

Randall looked at Christine’s flushed face and felt pleased with himself.
Then, he looked at Duncan and said coldly, “A good man should not dwell in old relationships but move forward. My fiancée doesn’t want any contact with a scumbag like you, so stay away from her.”
“Scumbag?” Randall actually called Duncan “scumbag” Was his choice of words appropriate? Christine suddenly found Randall’s thought process quite peculiar.
Duncan’s face turned red with anger.
“Randall, don’t forget that you also have a daughter in your family. If we’re talking about scumbag, that title suits you
better.
Randall turned to look at Christine, and with a hint of innocence, he asked. “My fiancée, do you think I’m a scumbag
Surprisingly, even someone as cold and aloof as Randall would show such a vulnerable side and act spoiled.
Christine was speechless.
Christine
Randall looked at Christine, who remained silent, and hugged her waist directly, saying, “Tell him to give up.” Christine said, “I like your daughter, Lindsay.”

Randall proudly looked at Duncan and said. “Did you hear that? My fiancée said she likes my daughter. My lovely daughter is a bonus point. And Christine favors me. Do you understand what it means to be favored? When others make mistakes, they deserve punishment, but those who are favored are exempt and instead showered with love.”
Christine was utterly speechless. Randall was indeed something. She used to think he was just cold, but she never expected him to be shameless to this extent. He had reached a new level in this aspect.
“Alright, Grandma is looking for you. Let’s go.”
After Randall finished speaking, he held Christine and walked away. After a while, Christine whispered, “You can let go of me
now.”
Randall replied, “How can I let go? That person is still watching behind us. Don’t you want him to stop bothering you?”
Christine instantly felt deflated. She felt that Randall was holding onto her tightly, not giving her any chance to let go.
Randall said jokingly, “I never expected my fiancée to be so popular. If I hadn’t come just now, would someone have abducted you? It seems I’ll have to be more vigilant in the future.
“Mr. Reeves, we’ve already walked quite far. He can’t hear us,” Christine said.
“I’m just telling the truth. Are you thinking of backing out?” Randall replied.
“Backing out of what? I never agreed to anything.”
After saying that, Christine broke free from Randall and walked ahead anxiously. Randall watched her frantic behavior as she tried to distance herself, and his gaze grew deeper. Wasn’t it all to get close to him?
Now that he was hooked, why did she still put up a resistant front? Was she playing hard to get?
The more she resisted, the more curious Randall became about her intentions.
Fine, he had time to play along with her.
Meanwhile, Duncan witnessed Randall embracing Christine. He slammed his hand forcefully against the wall, leaving it red and bruised.
At that moment, Blanche rushed out and grabbed Duncan’s hand. “Duncan, you’re a doctor. Your hands are so important. Why would you hurt yourself like this?”
-“Go away
Duncan’s voice was low and sounded like a warning. But Blanche didn’t understand and tried to calm him down again. “Duncan, you shouldn’t hurt yourself like this.”
Duncan said furiously. “If it wasn’t for you, how could Christine and I have ended up like this? Get lost.”
*Duncan, I know I’ve troubled you. Over the years, I’ve also told you I was happy I gave my first time to you. You don’t have to take responsibility for me.”
It was the same again. Every time he got angry with her, she would mention her first time with him to make him feel guilty. It had been enough for all these years.
“Blanche, you know better than anyone what happened back then. You keep mentioning your first time to manipulate me for years. You’ve milked it enough. From today on, don’t appear in my sight again.”
After saying that, Duncan pushed Blanche away, and she fell to the ground. People passing by looked at them with amused
eyes.
Blanche felt a deep sense of shame. That woman didn’t want him anymore, yet he still held such deep affection for her.
Why did Christine deserve to have Duncan and Randall’s hearts? Why was she not worthy?
She would ruin everything for Christine. Whether it was Duncan or Randall, she wouldn’t let Christine have either of them.
She was determined to destroy everything and make Christine despised by everyone.
Inside Elizabeth’s ward, Elizabeth held her phone with a smile and said, “Daisy, look at this. Our darling Lindsay speaks so beautifully. She has finally started talking. Hurry and bring my precious girl here. I want to see her.”
She found out about her precious girl speaking through online trending topics.
She was now excited and eager to see Lindsay.
“Elizabeth, please don’t worry, Lindsay is attending classes at kindergarten now, so it’s not convenient to bring her over right now”
Daily tried to calm Elizabeth, but in reality, she was even more excited than Elizabeth. Her beloved granddaughter could speak, and she also wanted to see her as soon as possible.
