Chapter 603 Gone Too Far
The initially grand-looking mansion seemed to have been ruined by a bunch of debt collectors. The glass windows and walls had red paint all over, and obscene words were sprayed on them.
Some glass windows on the second floor were also broken, and the courtyard was filled with rubbish.
As soon as Christina opened the main door with her fingerprint, a few men shoved her aside and rushed
out of the mansion.
As a result, Christina had to hold on to the door handle to balance herself.
Right after those men made their way out of the mansion, they were pinned to the ground by a few men dressed as bodyguards. Meanwhile, the driver quickly ran toward Christina and asked concernedly, “Are you all right, Mrs. Hadley?”
Christina nodded. “I’m fine. Who are those men?”
She meant the bodyguards, who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
The driver wiped the beads of sweat off of his forehead and answered, “Those are the men Mr. Hadley sent to protect you in secret.”
Christina furrowed her brows, but she didn’t seem vexed by Nathaniel’s decision. “Tie those intruders up and bring them into the house. I need to question them.”
With that, she entered the mansion. Although the place was ransacked, it appeared cleaner than the outside.
Christina then walked around the house and noticed that a lot of valuable items in the closet were stolen./ and the surveillance cameras were destroyed. Bailey has to see this in order to confirm the amount of damages caused.
When Christina was making her way back down the stairs, the bodyguards had already brought the intruders back into the mansion.
The intruders were a few unruly and insolent teenagers. Though they were caught red-handed, they didn’t show any fear or remorse and started cursing at Christina.
Hearing that, the bodyguards immediately slapped them across their faces to shut them up.
Christina sat down in front of them and asked coldly, “Did you guys do this?”
A teenager with a buzz cut answered, “No. We were merely here to make some quick money. We thought we could sneak in and steal some valuable items when we saw the windows were broken. Unfortunately for us, you showed up before we could leave.”
“You better tell me the truth!” Christina demanded in a deep voice.
The five of them quickly answered at once, “We’ve been nothing but honest! This is our first time stealing. Could you let us go? We’ll return everything.”
Right then, the driver ran in, followed by a security guard working for the management office.
“Mrs. Hadley, I’ve gone through the surveillance footage. These thieves weren’t the ones who vandalized
“Take them to the police,” Christina waved her hand in annoyance and instructed the bodyguards to take the teenagers away.
After that, she looked at the security guard and sneered, “What was the management staff doing? Didn’t you guys know the mansion was vandalized?”
The security guard answered sheepishly. “We didn’t receive any complaints, but we called the owner as soon as we found out about it. However, we couldn’t get in touch with her, and we didn’t know who to look for.”
Christina couldn’t be bothered to question the security guard further. “Where’s the surveillance footage? Let me have a look.”
The driver handed her his phone.
