Chapter 5: Termination of Relationship

Perhaps realizing her reaction was too intense, Jennifer immediately softened her voice, "I said, the Cavendish family are all good people. I don't want the Cavendish family to be deceived by you, so..."

"You don't want them to be deceived, but by deliberately slandering me, aren't you deceiving them?" Christina shrugged. "I think I look decent enough, not so ugly that no one would want me. Or do you think that if I were really pregnant, the only man left in the world would be my uncle? Can't I be with someone else?"

In this life, the last thing she wanted was to be entangled with William!

But despite her best efforts to change her fate, it seemed everyone was pushing them together.

This feeling made her very agitated!

As soon as Christina finished speaking, a figure suddenly stood up from the sofa and quickly rushed to her, grabbing her by the neck.

His cold, deep eyes locked onto her face, and his icy fingertips gradually tightened, depriving her of breath.

"What did you say?" William's eyes were filled with anger, hiding emotions that Christina couldn't understand.

The overwhelming aura made Christina feel a bit overwhelmed, her face turning slightly pale.

She opened her mouth but didn't dare to repeat what she had just said.

But why?

He had always avoided her like the plague, and in their past life, he had hated her to the core because she apologized, assuming she had drugged him.

Even Harper, because she was her child, was ignored and treated coldly by him.

In the end, he even cruelly took a kidney from Harper to save the child of the woman he loved.

Harper was so young, and just to get a bit of his affection, she willingly gave up one of her kidneys.

But he didn't even look at Harper because of it.

Even when Harper got an infection after the surgery, and she was kidnapped and the doctor couldn't reach her, he thought it was all an excuse she made up to compete with Jennifer for his attention, leading to Harper missing the best time for rescue.

Hatred surged in her heart, and no matter how much Christina tried to control it, some emotions still leaked from her eyes.

She stubbornly met William's gaze and said loudly, word by word, "I said, you are my uncle. I could be with anyone, but I would never be with you and have your child. I still understand the basic principles of decency! What do you think, Uncle?"

William's eyes suddenly narrowed dangerously.

The hand around Christina's neck tightened instantly, and her face visibly turned purple as her breath was taken away.

"William, William, please let Christina go." Usually, in the Cavendish family, Elisa was most afraid of William, but seeing her daughter about to be strangled to death, she had to step in to stop him. "Christina really didn't mean to force you into anything. She really asked me to buy contraceptive pills. I don't know why it turned into..."

A cold, sword-like gaze suddenly fell on her face.

Elisa was so frightened by that deathly stare that her legs went weak, almost collapsing to the ground.

Even though she managed to stay standing, her legs trembled uncontrollably, and she couldn't say another word.

The atmosphere in the living room became so heavy that it was hard to breathe, and William's violent aura made everyone afraid to speak.

Even though Christina was suffocating, with tears streaming from her eyes and her face turning a horrifying purple, no one dared to intervene.

Finally, a clueless servant suddenly ran in from outside, "Ms. Cavendish, you have a delivery."

Sensing the tense atmosphere in the living room, the servant holding the bag trembled.

Nicholas frowned and sneered, "Enough!"

In the Cavendish family, William might not listen to anyone, but he still had to respect Nicholas.

So he loosened his grip, and Christina collapsed to the ground like a rag doll.

Air rushed into her lungs, causing her to cough uncontrollably, her lungs feeling like they were about to explode with pain.

But she still forced herself to get up from the ground, step by step, and walked to the servant, taking the bag from his hand.

She opened the bag and took out the contents.

Everyone saw the large letters on the box: Contraceptive Pills!

In front of everyone, she opened the box, took out all the pills, and spread them in her palm.

"Uncle, rest assured, I, Christina, will keep my word. No matter whose child I might be carrying, it will never be yours!"

With that, she tilted her head back and swallowed all the pills, not even using water, chewing them like candy.

Everyone present was stunned by the crazed look on her face.

Elisa cried as she hugged her, trying to get the pills out of her mouth.

"Are you crazy? You can't just take contraceptive pills like that! You're not even married yet. What if you harm your body and ruin your life?"

Christina kept her mouth tightly shut, refusing to let her take the pills out, determined to chew and swallow them all.

She looked at William with a mocking gaze, "Is that enough? If not, there's more!"

As she spoke, she was about to take out the remaining pills.

Elisa cried and stopped her, "Enough, enough! Christina, don't take any more. You'll die if you do!"

She was afraid of the Cavendish family, but she loved her daughter more.

At this moment, everyone was against them, and the despair of being isolated made her break down in tears.

The third son of the Cavendish family, Raymond Cavendish, who had always been invisible, couldn't help but step forward.

"William, do you really want to force Christina to death? Even if she doesn't have the Cavendish name, she's lived in the Cavendish family for so many years. If we really force her to death because of a misunderstanding, what will happen to the Cavendish family's reputation? What about your reputation?"

Raymond panted heavily, glaring at William with helplessness and resentment.

In the quiet living room, Elisa's sobs were the only sound. It wasn't loud, but it was impossible to ignore.

It was even... irritating!

William frowned in annoyance, his cold eyes fixed on Christina's stubborn expression, as if she would continue to chew the remaining pills if he said it wasn't enough.

William irritably tugged at his tie and growled, "Get out!"

The invisible anger spread through the living room, making everyone shiver.

Nicholas frowned and waved his hand, signaling Christina to leave quickly.

Christina clenched her palms, using the pain to stay clear-headed.

She straightened her back as much as she could and bowed slightly to Nicholas, "I know my presence has been a thorn in your side. Since that's the case, I'll move out of the Cavendish Mansion starting today. From now on, I will have nothing to do with the Cavendish family."

"Thank you for taking care of me all these years. I hope you take care of yourself!"

With that, Christina turned and left.

Having lived another life, she no longer wanted to stay in this dirty Cavendish family!
