152 An Unexinable Photo


    “Last time we went to a jeweler, I didn’t notice Liam because he’s all grown up now. Actually, E and Liam were childhood friends.”


    Merry had already imagined Christian’s reaction beforehand. She was sure that all hell would break loose after this and that the man would immediately throw E away.


    Realizing that Christian had no intention of stopping her, she continued. “Indri and I were both unaware of it, but Liam knew that we were from the Maheswara Family. Of course he also recognized E because they used to be very close.”


    Beside her mother, Indri looked at Christian expectantly. She couldn’t wait to see Christian’s wrath.


    But after waiting for quite a while, the man before her remained calm. Merry could feel her heart beating like a drum being beaten continuously.


    Why wasn’t Christian angry?


    Did Christian already know about E and Liam’s rtionship? Or maybe E really wasn’t that important in Christian’s heart that this man didn’t care about her?


    The second possibility made much more sense to Merry.


    After all, E was a nobody. She was just a dirty woman who had given birth to an illegitimate child out of wedlock five years ago.


    .....


    “I don’t know what your purpose is in telling me this.”


    After a moment of silence, Christian finally said slowly. His irritated eyes were fixed on Merry as if he wanted to tell the two women in front of him that he didn’t like to be disturbed while he was working.


    But actually, Christian also felt suspicious.


    Was what Merry said true? Did E lie to him?


    Christian was someone who could control his feelings easily. Although his heart seemed to be being torn apart because of Merry’s words, he still remained calm on the outside.


    His words made Merry’s face pale.


    Did that mean her n failed? She came here to make E’s life even more miserable, but it seemed that she failed!


    Merry didn’t want to answer Christian’s question. But because of the gaze from the man, she could only force herself to open her mouth.


    “I just feel like a guy like you shouldn’t be toyed with by E. She is not a good woman. Even though it’s been five years, ording to my observations, E still hasn’t changed.”


    Merry looked at Christian with a sincere look as if she was doing all this not for her own benefit, but for Christian.


    She still couldn’t believe that E could get the attention of a man like Christian when her daughter couldn’t.


    What was her daughterckingpared to E?


    Plus, her daughter was still pure, unlike E. Her daughter was a thousand times better than that bitch!


    Indri was also getting more and more panicked, but she didn’t dare to act rashly.


    Merry had told her beforehand not to do anything in front of Christian. Otherwise, even her own mother wouldn’t be able to help her.


    “Oh? It seems you understand your stepdaughter very deeply.” Christian shed his cold smile. Everyone knew that this smile was not a good sign.


    Merry could clearly see the threat from that smile.


    “Then, why didn’t you educate her properly back then? You allow her to be the woman she is now.”


    Cold sweat began to trickle down Merry’s forehead.


    At first, she wanted to tell Christian this information so that the man would let go of the Maheswara Family.


    She was sure that E was the one who made Christian attack her family now. If Christian didn’t want E anymore, Christian would stop making things difficult for their family.


    She knew her rtionship with her husband was not that good. Budi didn’t really love her and Indri. But Merry knew very well that if her husband’spany experienced difficulties, she would also be affected.


    So, Merry did all this not out of love, but on the basis of her need to maintain her luxurious life.


    Unfortunately, this n did not go as she wished.


    “I’ve tried to educate her,” Merry said reluctantly. “But there’s nothing more I can do.”


    “Ah? really? Why didn’t I know that my dear stepmother was trying to educate me?” A cynical female voice came from the door.


    There was still a lingering smell of cooking around E’s figure.


    While she was cooking, she felt anxious and worried, her gut feelings told her that something must’ve happened. She wanted to see Christian, but had no idea that these two were there.


    Their arrival alone was enough to take her by surprise, what else could they say about her?


    The nonsense that Merry spoke was so disgusting. Wasn’t she afraid to bite her tongue when she said it?


    Christian’s gaze was fixed on E. He could see the hatred in her face.


    Every time she faced Merry and Indri, she was like a hedgehog pulling out its thorns, trying its best to protect itself.


    This side of E also made Christian feel fascinated.


    He never cared about women, but why was this one different?


    But it also made Christian so angry after hearing about the rtionship between E and Liam from Merry.


    How dare E hide all this from him!


    In a way, Christian did not know the slightest bit of truth from E. He didn’t know who the real E was.


    “E! What an insolent woman! And you still dare to defend yourself?” When she saw E, Indri was like a bomb about to explode. “Do you think Christian will protect you? Look, I have a picture of you and Liam!”


    Indri took out her phone from her bag and opened the photo. Without further ado, she immediately ran towards Christian. “Christian, look at this photo.”


    She was trying her best to win the man’s heart and it made Christian feel disgusted, but his gaze was still fixed on the phone’s screen.


    In the photo, Liam was seen holding E’s wrist. Because of the good quality of the image, Christian could clearly see Liam looking at E affectionately.


    E could feel her feet and hands starting to turn cold. She was standing at the door and somehow, the distance between her and Christian seemed to be getting farther and farther away.


    The confidence in Indri’s eyes made E believe that Indri had gotten a photo that she couldn’t exin.


    She didn’t know why Jason couldn’t find any information about her childhood with Liam. E thought that she was lucky at that time.


    But it looked like her luck didn’tst long.


    If she knew Christian would find out all this from Merry and Indri, she’d better tell Christian directly.


    She shouldn’t have hidden it from Christian!


    Indri noticed the change on E’s face. With pride, she showed another photo in front of Christian.


    “Christian, E’s goal is very clear. She’s just ying with you. She’s been cheating on you with another man!”


    Inwardly, Indri cheered happily. ‘Your life is over, you bitch!’
