A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 651

Chapter 651 The Calm Before The Storm

The policewoman exchanged glances with her colleague before revealing. “It’s your grandmother, Mrs. Lazuli.”

With a light furrow of her brows, Christina asked, “What happened to her?”

“Earlier tonight, there was a significant car accident near the Gibson residence involving Mrs. Lazuli,” the policewoman said solemnly. “Based on the evidence found at the scene, there were no signs of braking. and the driver responsible for the accident has fled. The initial investigation points toward it being an intentional homicide. We understand that there have been some recent unpleasant interactions between you, Ms. Steele, and Mrs. Lazuli. Therefore, we need to gather further information from you to accelerate the progress of the case.”

Azure was a decisive and cautious woman and had a knack for manipulating people’s emotions. In her daily interactions, she always maintained an elegant and graceful demeanor. Apart from herself, Christina couldn’t think of anyone else whom her grandmother might have offended in the past.

Christina, having done nothing wrong, maintained a calm expression as she looked into the policewoman’s eyes. The relationship between my grandmother and me deteriorated due to disagreements over dividing the family assets. Although we had a few unpleasant arguments, it never reached a point where I would harm her.”

The policewoman continued to inquire, “Could you please share your schedule for today?”

“I was at the hospital visiting my father this morning until this afternoon. There are surveillance cameras at the hospital that you can check…

Christina meticulously recounted every place she had been and everything she had done throughout the day to the policewoman, sparing no details. She even called Lyle over to be her witness but deliberately concealed the interaction that took place between her and Yerek.

“Could we look around your garage, Ms. Steele?” the policewoman suddenly requested.

“Of course. Please come with me,” Christina responded. Without further inquiry, she personally guided the two police officers to the garage.

As they entered the garage, they were greeted by a collection of luxury cars, all acquired by Timothy for Christina. Besides the regularly-used black Mercedes-Benz, the rest of the luxury vehicles remained untouched, and each car was meticulously covered with dust covers, preserved in pristine condition.

Christina instructed the butler to remove all the dust covers, enabling the police officers to inspect the vehicles more easily.

The two police officers carefully searched the vehicles but did not discover any significant evidence. They bid their farewells and promptly departed.

After instructing the butler to escort the guests out, Christina returned to the living room. There, she directed Lyle, saying, “Find out exactly what happened with Mrs. Lazuli’s car accident. I expect to have all the details within half an hour.”

Lyle wasted no time and swiftly embarked on his task.

During the wait, Christina replied to Rayne’s message, reassuring her not to worry.

She then proceeded to persistently dial Nathaniel’s phone number but to no avail. His phone remained unreachable, and none of her messages received a response.

Christina tried contacting Sebastian instead. While her call did go through, there was no answer from the other end.

This heightened Christina’s anxiety even more. She made a firm mental note, resolute in her determination to extract information about Nathaniel’s whereabouts from Lyle as soon as he returned.

A popular romance drama played on the television in the living room, but Christina had no interest in watching it. Her mind was consumed by other concerns, leaving her unable to focus on the show.
