A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 631

Chapter 631 To Guard Against The Hidden Evil

“This is a well-planned murder.” Sebastian donned a somber look on his face. “There aren’t any signs of braking at the scene, and the driver wasn’t breaking any traffic laws. Although they found traces of alcohol in his blood, it’s still under limits.”

He could not imagine what would happen if that car had seemed completely fine before they left. Christina would have been in the accident, and she would have died with the baby. He wondered if Nathaniel would lose his mind.

Meanwhile, Christina started mulling over the matter.

She had crossed quite a number of people lately, with Nigel’s family hating her the most. She had forced them to a dead end, so it would not be a stretch to assume that Nigel might want to come after her.

She then asked Sebastian. “Who do you think is the likeliest to be behind this?”

It was a difficult question, for there were too many suspects he could list. Without clear clues, he could not come to a proper conclusion.

“Mr. Nigel and his family might be after you,” Sebastian started. Then, he added, “Warren Yackley, Anya’s patron, is a suspect too.”

Warren Yackley!

Christina had nearly forgotten about that man. Anya despised her, and she was willing to forgo her principles to get a patron so that she could get out of her troubled situation.

However, Anya was also a manipulative woman. It would not be impossible for her to use Warren to get rid of Christina. novelxo.com fast update

After a while of rumination, Christina realized that it was likelier that Anya was the one behind the accident.

Nigel and Yerek were too preoccupied with rejoining the Stone family and getting investors for the failing company. It was unlikely that they would have the time to come after her yet.

Christina hummed and said. “Let’s not board the plane.”

Christina did not find it safe to have Timothy stay in Hallsbay alone. Gibson Corporation had just revived itself, and she could not let anything go wrong.

Her survival in this accident meant that there would be another attempt on her life.

“Mrs. Hadley, I’d suggest you return to Jadeborough. It’s the Hadley family’s territory there, so that’ll be the safest place for you now,” Sebastian pointed out.

Lyle, who was always silent, chimed in, “I agree with Mr. Taggart. It’s not safe to remain in Hallsbay.”

While Lyle could go up against three men by himself, no one could tell if there were going to be more enemies than Lyle could handle.

It was easy to defend herself from public attacks, but it would be far harder to guard against the hidden

evil. Lyle might be able to protect her once, but he might not be able to protect her as well the second

time.

Ultimately, Christina said, “Okay, let’s go back to Jadeborough first. Don’t let Mr. Hadley learn about this yet. I don’t want him to worry.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Sebastian and Lyle replied in unison.

The several-hour flight was uncomfortable for pregnant Christina. She felt as if she was in a trance during the flight, and when she alighted the plane, she was as pale as a sheet of paper.

Sebastian’s heart was in his throat. “Mrs. Hadley, are you feeling unwell?”

Christina shook her head and wearily answered, “I’m fine. I couldn’t rest well on the plane earlier. I’m just tired. Let’s go back to Scenic Garden Manor first.”

Still worried, Sebastian arranged for the family doctor to wait at Scenic Garden Manor before Christina returned.

Upon reaching Scenic Garden Manor, the family doctor did a checkup for Christina. He concluded that it was a mild case of malnutrition and tiredness, so he told Christina to rest and recover until the day of her labor.
