A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112 Huge Loss

Ever since their days in the Hadley residence, Julia already knew that Christina did not know how to swim. Despite that, she still pushed Christina into the water, revealing how furious she must have been over the latter’s deceit.

“I asked her to design your outfit. Blame me if you have to,” said Nathaniel curtly before unbuttoning his coat. He then tossed it aside and promptly dived into the pool to save Christina.

Seeing that the situation was worsening, Helen instructed the butler and the housekeepers to send the

guests away.

Meanwhile, Julia stomped back into the house angrily

The guests were soon brought away.

Nathaniel carried Christina, who was completely drenched. In such weather, she shivered when gusts of wind blew past.

Wrapping two thick towels around them, the butler invited them back into the house.

The water on their body dripped all over the place. Cristina was so cold that she shivered vigorously. With his heart aching, Nathaniel wiped her hair and instructed the butler, “Bring some hot tea over.”

“Understood,” said the butler. However, just when he turned around to leave, Julia warned sternly, “You

aren’t allowed to!”

“But Ms. Christina will catch a cold, Mrs. Hadley,” said the butler in a conflicted tone as he looked at Christina’s frail body.

Sitting in the living room, Julia exuded such an intimidating aura that the housekeepers around her did not even dare to breathe loudly.

If one looked closely, Julia had changed into a black gown after taking off the jasmine gown.

Casting a cold glance at Christina’s drenched body, the older woman did not think that Christina was pitiable at all. “This is the Hadley residence, not the Scenic Garden Manor. Get lost with her.”

While Julia used to look down on Christina, it was obvious to everyone that she now hated the latter.

Madison was overjoyed when she saw that, although she did not understand why Julia hated being lied. to so much. Nevertheless, with Christina having violated the older woman’s taboo, Madison was sure that everything Christina did that might have left a good impression on Julia had now gone to waste.

Walking toward Christina, Madison frowned anxiously and appeared to be regretful. “I’m sorry, Christina. When I saw how much Mrs. Hadley liked the outfit that you designed, I thought she’ll see you in a different light after finding out that you’re Ms. Ada… I really want to help improve you improve your relationship with her. I definitely did not harbor any other intentions.”

She even made it sound like she was on the verge of crying when she reached the emotional part of her speech.

Christina trembled in coldness. Her cheeks were ashen, and fury filled the depths of her watery eyes.

Improve our relationship? It’s obvious that this is all part of her plan! Otherwise, why would she have pulled me

out in public and arranged for Hannah from the studio to act as the witness? Her objective is to put Mrs. Hadley in a difficult position in front of everyone else, making her hate me even more. What a marvelous plan! She managed to force me into this pathetic state….

Christina glanced upward, her icy gaze landing on Mailison. “I know you have kind intentions, but Hannah probably wasn’t included in Mrs. Hadley’s guest list, right? You must have a really wide social network to be able to invite her.”

Madison’s expression changed drastically when she heard this. Although she had prepared all sorts of refutations, she did not expect Christina to use Hannah against her.

After all, she had paid Hannah to act as a witness for Christina’s identity.

The situation became strange again, for Madison could not think of an excuse to rebuke Christina. Rather than gloating silently, she was now worried about what Nathaniel would think of her.

At that moment, Helen brought out the two gowns that Julia had not worn yet. “What shall we do with the gowns, Mrs. Hadley?”

Narrowing her eyes, Julia pursed her lips tightly and instructed in an icy tone, “Burn them in the backyard.”

Burn them?

Helen wondered if she had misheard Julia.

These three gowns are Mrs. Hadley’s favorite gowns. She hasn’t even worn them yet! How can she bear to burn them?

Christina’s heart skipped a beat. When she heard that her eyes reddened.

Nathaniel’s eyebrows knitted. Exuding a cold aura, he demanded, “Christina had so many sleepless nights just to make these gowns for you. How can you burn them?”

Christina spent a lot of effort in order to complete the three gowns. Because of that, she did not even return to Scenic Garden Manor to keep him company. Undoubtedly, she would be devasted to hear that all that work would be burned to ashes.

Nathaniel could never bear to see her sad.

Julia’s face was so gloomy that it seemed like dark clouds loomed over it. When she saw how pained Christina was, she felt happy. “I bought the gowns with my money. It’s none of your business what I do

with them.”

Gripping Christina’s thin shoulders tightly, Nathaniel could feel her trembling beneath his palms. “I’ll pay you thrice the amount. Give me the gowns.”

“I’d rather burn them than give them to you. Why are you still standing there, Helen?” When Julia glanced to the side coldly, Helen did not dare to delay it any further. Mumbling a response, the latter swiftly walked out with two housekeepers.

Christina felt resentful. “Mrs. Hadley, you just don’t like me, right? This has nothing to do with the

gowns.”

Staring at her face, which was dripping with water, Julia revealed a cold smirk. “Of course, the gowns

have something to do with this. I don’t like anything associated with you!”

Christina would rather forgo the compensation than let the gowns which she had painstakingly made

be burned.

However, she no longer had any reason to get the dresses back. After Julia paid for them, they now. belonged to her. Regardless of whether the older woman wanted to burn the dresses, give them to others or do anything to them, Christina had no right to intervene.
