Chapter 275
410 thousand dollars was nothing to the Sanders.
Christian didn’t look at her but just blushed. “How could I ask you for money? Have you ever seen a man ask his crush… his cousin for money?”
“Crush?” Esther was very sensitive to that word and immediately picked up on what he had said. She exclaimed in a shocked voice, “Chris, but you’re my cousin!”

Christian clenched his jaw, frustrated by how agitated she had become. “I’m not your cousin. Your real cousin passed away shortly after birth. I was adopted from an orphanage, and I’ve known about it for a long time.”
“But we’re still family.”
“Why can’t I have feelings for you just because we’re technically cousins? I didn’t work with Lawson Enterprises only to borrow money from them. I wanted to get you out of the entertainment industry. You’re a big star, and so many people adore you. Even Mobius has ulterior motives. I might not be good enough for you, but if you leave the industry, I might have at chance. Esther, I really like you…”
Christian began to look unhinged, and Esther sensed it. Alarm bells rang in her head, and she quickly dialed someone on her phone.
“Esther, only I can have you. I’ve watched you grow up. You can only be mine!” He lunged at her and began tugging at her
clothes.
“Esther, you’re a woman now, so I can finally have you…”
Christian had lived a rough life and had been in many fights, making him quite strong. Esther was pinned down and could only sink her teeth into his wrist, leaving behind a painful set of bite marks.
“Ouch “Christian quickly let go, and Esther took the chance to stomp on his foot before frantically running away.
Christian chased after her closely, and just as he was about to grab her wrist again, a powerful flying kick landed on his chest, sending him sprawling.
When Esther saw who it was, she burst into tears. Even though the person’s eyes were filled with hatred, he didn’t look menacing.
“Mobius, I’m scared…” She was barely an adult, so all she could do in this terrifying situation was to worry and feel afraid.
“It’s fine, I’m here now.” Mobius gently touched her hair while glaring at Christian, who was writhing on the floor. His gaze turned icy. “You’re an animal!”
He had overheard everything on the phone earlier-Christian’s secret crush on Esther and his sinister intent to take her by
force. A shameless bastard!
“I’m an animal? Haha, Mobius. You won’t even admit that you have feelings for Esther. At least I’m not a coward like you!”
Mobius picked Esther up and said, “So what?” Then he left, leaving Christian standing there, seething with anger and plotting his revenge.
Meanwhile, Pearl and Richard returned to the office, and now the position of design director was vacant. This time, Richard had a different plan and decided to promote the best-performing newbie to the role.
It was also a good way to bring in new blood to Waldorf Enterprises.
They both agreed and started interviewing candidates that day. However, when it came to the final candidate, Richard’s expression was stiff
