Chapter 575 Teach You A Lesson
Not fully grasping the gravity of the situation. Victoria remained unfazed. “Why should you be afraid? I can talk to Mr. Hadley and explain everything. He’s being overly protective of you, though. He doesn’t let you do anything or go anywhere. But if you sneak out to see Miranda, will he punish me instead?“
No matter how bold she was, she would be a coward in front of Nathaniel.
She would never go against Nathaniel’s orders.
Victoria was Christina’s junior, so naturally Nathaniel wouldn’t spare her. At most, he might subject her to a few minor punishments, making her endure some discomfort for a while.
Naturally, Christina couldn’t be honest with her. “You’re my junior, so he’ll consider you as his junior, too. He won’t harm you. Besides, I’ll protect you, so don’t worry.”
She pulled Victoria closer and asked, “Hurry, tell me where Miranda is.”
Victoria still remained doubtful. She glanced at Christina and asked carefully. “If Miranda took your mom’s money, just tell Sebastian to get it back for you. Why would you need to see her in person?”
Christina rose to her feet to put on her coat and scarf. “I need to settle old and new scores with her so she won’t cause trouble for me again. Let’s not waste time. You should drive me there, but before that, let’s Send Sebastian away.”
Sebastian was engrossed in a phone conversation as he stood in the corridor, completely unaware of the plan concocted by Victoria and Christina. If he had known, he would have never left to get the items Victoria requested.
Unfortunately, by the time he received the news, it was already too late to prevent the unfolding events.
Victoria drove Christina through the bustling downtown, but her cautious speed made the journey feel agonizingly slow,
If Christina hadn’t been pregnant and unable to drive, she would have eagerly gotten behind the wheel to speed up.
“Victoria, did you bribe your way to get a driving license? A kid could ride a bicycle faster than you,” she complained.
“The doctor said your pregnancy is unstable, so I dare not floor the accelerator. You’re just a passenger, so shut up. I’m a bit nervous now,” Victoria replied.
Christina narrowed her eyes and observed Victoria’s expression. “Are you hiding something from me?”
Victoria liked to do things her own way and hate wasting time.
Thus, Christina found her current attitude peculiar.
Victoria stated sternly. “Of course not. I still need your help, so I wouldn’t dare to lie to you.”
Christina urged, “Then please speed up. I know my body well. I’ll be fine.”
Victoria spared a quick glance at Christina’s stomach. Exhaling sharply, she floored the gas pedal, heading toward the dilapidated area of the city.

After half an hour, Victoria pulled up at the entrance of an alley in a very old residential area.
Christina opened the door and got out of the car Her phone started vibrating in her pocket, so she pulled it out and switched it off. Turning to Victoria, she instructed, “Lead the way.”
As Victoria strode ahead, clutching her bag, she continurd to talk animatedly. “Yesterday, I followed Sebastian’s car and witnessed him locking up an elderly lady in a rundown house, accompanied by a few bodyguards. She looked somewhat familiar to me. I believe I’ve seen her a few times near your studio”
Has Miranda been to my studio?
Frowning. Christina asked, “When did you see her?”
Victoria contemplated the question for a moment before responding hesitantly, “I think it was a few weeks ago, but I can’t recall the exact timing. I remember seeing her peering cautiously through the door, looking quite suspicious. Whenever someone approached, she would hurriedly flee.”
