Chapter 86: Chapter 86 I’m Getting Married

Wendy Hart lay on the gurney, an oxygen tube already inserted into her nostrils, her eyes fiercely fixed on her elder brother.

Lily Garcia flung herself at her, grasping her hand, crying out, "Wendy... don’t be like this, you need to get better. I don’t matter at all, listen to the doctor, please listen to the doctor..."

Christopher Hart knew his sister’s mind, his large palm clenched into a fist, his jawbone grinding repeatedly before finally nodding, "You go through with the surgery properly, and I’ll fulfill my promise."

Lily stiffened, her heart bursting with joy, yet she dared not look back at the man behind her.

With her brother’s assurance, Wendy’s emotions were suddenly released, and she became much calmer.

As the nurse prepared to move the gurney away, Lily straightened up, her grip on Wendy’s hand slowly sliding off.

Christopher didn’t even glance at Lily as he took out his phone to call home.

By the time he returned, Lily took the initiative to approach him.

"Christopher..." she called softly, dragging out the tone, her eyes excessively submissive.

Christopher reluctantly turned his gaze to her, "As you wished."

She suppressed her elation, twisting her hands nervously, and asked, "Then... when shall we get our marriage certificate?"

Christopher looked at her incredulously.

So impatient?

Lily seemed to know her timing was off and quickly added "I know, Hope needs surgery, and Wendy is also... It’s just a certificate, everything else can wait, even if there’s no wedding or anything, it doesn’t matter."

Christopher didn’t respond to her words, only asking her one last time, "Are you sure you don’t want the five hundred million and are just fixated on being Mrs. Hart?"

"..." Lily pursed her lips, showing a face of unrepentant resolve, whispering meekly, "I’m with you because I love you, not for any status."

"Heh." The man sneered and turned his head away, "Fine! It’s the path you’ve chosen, no regrets!"

Not too long after, George Hart and his wife Emma Carter hurried over.

Upon seeing her son, Emma rushed up and slapped him.

The slap startled passersby, and Lily was also stunned.

But she quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly stood in front of Christopher, "Auntie, don’t be angry, Christopher didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Blame me if you must! It was my fault that Wendy fell ill and nearly caused a disaster."

Emma looked at Lily and felt somewhat irritated inside.

But she had to remain polite on the surface.

"Lily, this isn’t about you; he’s the one who messed up and caused all this trouble!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than another voice rang out from behind, "What you’ve said is quite fair! It was your family breaking their words that caused all this trouble. Now you’ve even dragged your own daughter into it, what karma!"

Lily immediately went up to Fiona Marshall and asked in a low voice, "Mom... didn’t I tell you not to come? Why did you still..."

"Silly girl! They’re ganging up on you, what if they bully you?"

Emma wanted to roll her eyes at the sight of Fiona, but since the other woman was no easy mark herself, she just forced a smile, "Fiona, you’re going too far with that. Wendy is a grateful child; she wouldn’t have brought Lily here to find her brother otherwise."

"Heh! What’s the use if your daughter is grateful? It’s all about your son’s attitude!"

Fiona sneered and cast a glance over Christopher.

"Mom..." Lily immediately nudged her mother, whispering, "Christopher agreed."

"What?" Fiona looked over in surprise.

Emma had also heard something and looked towards her.

Lily glanced at Christopher and decided to spill the beans, "Just now... the doctor said Wendy needs surgery. To reassure her and make sure she’d cooperate with the doctor, Christopher agreed... he’s going to take responsibility for me."

As the woman spoke, she carefully watched Christopher’s expression, and immediately afterward, she took on the protective stance of a mother hen.

"Aunt, Uncle, please don’t blame Christopher anymore, he has his difficulties too. As long as he changes his mind, I won’t hold the past against him. In the future, I will be a good wife and a good daughter-in-law."

Christopher Hart looked at Lily Garcia with eyes full of unfamiliarity and estrangement.

He had really been deceived by her before, thinking she was a good girl. Now he realized how good she was at pretending!

After Lily Garcia finished speaking, she immediately blushed with a shy look. Both Emma Carter and Fiona Marshall looked at her, their eyes wide with disbelief.

"Really?" Emma Carter looked at Lily Garcia, then at her son, "Christopher, have you finally come to your senses?"

However, Fiona Marshall did not seem relieved or surprised by the look on her face.

She grabbed her daughter and walked a few steps away, glaring at her in a lowered voice, "What’s going on? Did he really agree to marry you?"

"Yes, mom! Isn’t that good?"

"Good? Five hundred million, your Father Garcia said he was willing to give five hundred million! Are you out of your mind?"

Fiona Marshall was so angry she gritted her teeth, wishing she could split open her daughter’s head to see what was going on inside.

Lily Garcia’s smile stiffened on her face, and she immediately turned away from her mother, "That was what you agreed to, not me!"

With that, she turned back to the Hart Family, her face full of obedient and flattering smiles.

"You..." Fiona Marshall was furious!

She had scolded Christopher Hart because she knew he was determined to break off the marriage, preferring to pay a hefty compensation of five hundred million rather than marry her daughter. So she made a show of berating him fiercely to take the moral high ground!

In fact, she did think that taking the five hundred million was a better deal!

But she never expected her foolish daughter, love-struck, to actually threaten Christopher Hart with her life and force him into marriage!

The depths of wealth and power were like the sea, and not to mention whether marrying into it would bring happiness, just the thought of her daughter’s "deception" being exposed one day...

The more Fiona Marshall thought about it, the angrier she became, but her daughter wouldn’t listen to reason and was stubbornly going her own way, so she could only suffer in silence.

Christopher Hart didn’t want to stay a moment longer, and without even glancing at Lily Garcia, he said expressionlessly to his parents, "Take good care of Wendy. I have something to do, I need to go."

"Wendy’s surgery isn’t over yet, where are you going?!" Emma Carter was dissatisfied.

But Christopher Hart ignored her, striding away with long legs, quickly disappearing down the corridor.

"Christoph... Christopher—" Lily Garcia looked reluctant, took a few steps to follow but stopped when she couldn’t catch up, staring angrily at his retreating back.

Just as Christopher Hart entered the elevator, his phone rang.

He answered, his tone extremely grave, "What’s up?"

Benny Palmer said, "What’s the situation with you and Lily Garcia? Hugging and kissing in public, have you lost your mind?"

His expression darkened, and his brow furrowed, "Is it all over the internet?"

"Exactly!"

Damn it! It must have been sneakily recorded by onlookers and uploaded to the internet just now!

He cursed under his breath and instructed his friend, "Handle it quickly, don’t let the news spread any further."

"It’s already being handled. But President Hart, can you have some sympathy for the public relations department? These days, with all kinds of gossip flying around and waves of public opinion, the PR department is going crazy!"

"Your personal matters are none of other people’s business, but you are a public figure, every move you make is closely watched, and it affects the company’s reputation and the interests of the shareholders. If this continues, I won’t be able to manage those old foxes at the company."

During this period, Christopher Hart was so busy he barely had time to breathe, and Benny Palmer was the same, working day and night.

This was truly a heartfelt statement.

Christopher Hart listened to his friend’s advice, pondered for a moment, and out of nowhere said, "I might be getting married soon..."
