Chapter 630 Lucky Time
If Anya had not abruptly gone to the restaurant to stir trouble with Christina, Christina would not have sent men to find out Anya’s recent whereabouts. She would not have had the chance to find out the secret connection between Winston and Warren.
After Winston gave up on Raveworks Enterprise, he told David to open up a new company, and Warren was one of the shareholders.
Christina would not say that she was too paranoid. After a few rounds of investigations, she found out that those who had connections with Winston seemed to all have a hand in her parents’ accident.
Sebastian said, “I’ve already sent Mr. Hadley the news. Mr. Hadley has always assigned men to keep an eye on Winston. It’s been some time since he started doing that, so I’m sure he has plenty of information to share as well.”
Christina desperately wished that she could rush back to Jadeborough immediately.
The case had stagnated for years, and now, the clues were going somewhere. Finally, she had a chance to clear the grievances of her parents, who had to go through those suffering times.
“Book tickets back to Jadeborough tonight, but don’t let Mr. Hadley know about this.” Nathaniel was always the one who gave Christina surprises, so Christina wanted to do the same for him this time.
Sebastian was infected by Christina’s joyous mood. It had been a long time since he met Victoria. Even though the two of them often made video calls, he was too busy, and Victoria was always the one who initiated contact.
“Of course, Mrs. Hadley
Christina could hear the joy in Sebastian’s voice. When she looked over at him, she noticed that a flower shop’s e-commerce platform was showing on his phone screen. He was scrolling continuously, seemingly unsure which flower to get. novelxo.com fast update
Leaning over, Christina said with a half-smile, “Victoria likes daisies, but of course, as long as it’s from you, she’ll be happy even if you end up picking flowers from the side of the road.”
“I just want to order takeout; I accidentally clicked into this,” Sebastian hastily muttered as he sheepishly put down his phone. However, the tinge of red on the tip of his ears betrayed his true intentions.
“Oh, I see. Well, it looks like Victoria won’t get to be happy. She would love to have her crush get her different kinds of flowers every day.”
Christina did not expose Sebastian, knowing when to stop pushing. Otherwise, Sebastian might be frightened off, and Victoria would have to be as anxious as her.
What Sebastian did not know was how Victoria was clingier in a romantic relationship. Worried that Sebastian would find her annoying, she started talking to Christina instead, pestering Christina to tell her about Sebastian’s daily schedule, as well as what he ate and who he met.
After work every day, not only did Christina video-call Nathaniel and her children at night, but she was also messing with Victoria. She managed to drive Victoria mad every time, making the latter wish she could come over to meet Sebastian in person instead.
At night, Christina invited Timothy to dinner-a farewell meal before leaving Hallsbay.
“I hear that the people in the company are satisfied with you. Gibson Corporation’s return to the right track is something worth celebrating.”
Timothy’s physiotherapy had been working well. He had shed his usual dispirited demeanor. The peaceful, life after the division of the Gibson family had brought a touch of joy to his face.
“I’m not particularly good at managing a company. It’s all thanks to Nathaniel lending me his assistant’s assistance. As of now, most of the major projects Gibson Corporation has been from Hadley Corporation.”
Christina was not trying to put in a good word for Nathaniel. She just wanted the people around her to know that she had a blissful marriage and that Nathaniel was the only man she would ever want.
Nothing would separate them.
“What happened back then…. Timothy paused and put down his fork. “The Hadleys were victims too. I was fooled by others and could not think for myself. I nearly destroyed your marriage. I’m really sorry about that, Christina.”
Christina let out a quiet sigh. “It’s not completely your fault. Nathaniel and I don’t blame you for this.”
Despite her words, Timothy was not all that happy. He turned even solemn as he said, “I know Nathaniel loves you, but you might have trouble explaining this to your parents-in-law. I’ll come over another day, and if they need it, I’ll apologize to them.“
