A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 663

Chapter 663 Selfish

Christina was not worried that she would be wronged. Nathaniel was with her, and this wonderful, clever man would definitely not let her suffer.

Her confidence in Nathaniel kept her calm as she fended herself against Barnaby’s questions and doubts.

“I’m fine.” Christina gave him a small smile.

Nathaniel shrugged out of his jacket and draped it over Christina’s shoulders. He looked at her with gen eyes, completely unaffected by the problem at hand.

“It may take some time to deal with this issue. Are you hungry? I’ll get someone to bring you some food.” he asked her casually.

Christina had been snacking on fruits earlier, so she shook her head and replied, “I’m not hungry.”

“If you start to feel tired, you must tell me. We’ll go home immediately and let Sebastian handle this on his own,” Nathaniel said softly into her ear.

Christina nodded gratefully. Wrapped up safely in Nathaniel’s love and affection, she really began to feel sleepy.

However, she shook off her drowsiness, reminding herself that the problem had been caused by her and that she should not be depending on Nathaniel to clean up her mess.

Sheridan felt a stab of envy watching the intimate interaction between the two of them, especially when he saw Christina smiling unabashedly at Nathaniel. He wished he could replace Nathaniel and be the only one in Christina’s eyes and heart.

Even though he knew that there was no hope for him to be with Christina, he still allowed himself to indulge in those feelings. By the time he snapped out of it, it was already too late.

Perhaps he had been staring too hard, and Nathaniel had sensed his eyes on Christina. Nathaniel raised b head and glared back at Sheridan with eyes full of warning.

At that moment, the butler, Walter, appeared in the lobby with the records from the surveillance cameras

Walter projected the recording onto a large blank wall so that they could all watch it together.

“I’ve looked through the surveillance recording for tonight, and I didn’t see anyone approaching Mrs. Hadley’s car,” said Walter. “There are security guards patrolling the parking lot regularly, and they did not see anything unusual tonight either.”

Christina stared unblinkingly at the recording playing on the wall. Something felt a little off about the recording, but she could not quite put her finger on it.

“Is this all the surveillance recording?” Sheridan asked Walter. “Is there anything else?”

“Nothing has been left out, Mr. Stone.”

“Mr. Stone, you won’t mind me making a copy of all these recordings, will you?” Nathaniel asked bluntly. “These things should be looked over by a professional. I have to be sure that these recordings have not

been tampered with.”

“Mr. Hadley, are you suspecting that I secretly tampered with the recording?” Walter asked pointedly.

Nathaniel glanced at him. “I don’t mean anything by it. I’m just accustomed to ascertaining facts for myself. This concerns my wife’s reputation, which in turn concerns the Hadley family’s reputation. We do not take lightly anyone besmirching our name. If the situation were reversed, I’m sure Mr. Stone would do the same. He did not even say anything. Why are you, a mere butler, so bothered by my request? Have the recordings actually been tampered with?”

The butler’s face instantly flushed red. His retort became stuck in his throat, and he could only shake his head vehemently.

“That’s quite enough. Since Mr. and Mrs. Hadley are the parties involved here, they have every right to make such a request. Cease talking right now., You’re attracting undue suspicion, Sheridan said coldly to Walter. “You have no business here anymore. Leave.”
