A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 678

Chapter 678 The Ludwig Family

Rumors are often grounded in truth..

“Who brought me to her room tonight?”

Nathaniel only remembered fragments during his intoxication. He recalled losing control over his faculties after a sip of the red wine handed to him by a fellow guest and that he seemed to have met Christina when he was on his way up to the suite on the top deck.

By the time he regained his wits, the woman in his arms had transformed into somebody else..

Then, Christina caught him red–handed.

Endowed with values imparted by his parents, Nathaniel could not tolerate his spouse’s unfaithfulness.

Now, however, he had become the person he despised more than anything.

“I went through the surveillance cameras on the ship. The person who brought you to Vera’s room is a server who works on the ship, but upon closer investigation, he is no longer aboard.” Sebastian frowned. “We have not docked since setting sail, and the lifeboats are all intact, which is why I suspect it is somebody in disguise. He has accomplices on this ship and more than one at that.

Vera is perhaps one of them.

Given Nathaniel’s reputation, they could not eliminate the possibility of her having other ideas when he was delivered to her door, as they were countless women who wanted a piece of Nathaniel.

“Focus your investigative efforts on Vera.” Nathaniel’s expression was grim. “See if she had any plastic surgery in the past.”

He noticed that Vera’s face was odd, like it had been stuck on.

Coupled with the rumors surrounding the Ludwig family, Nathaniel had reason to believe that Vera’s identity was stolen. D

“Why couldn’t Vera claim her inheritance?” he asked suddenly

“It is said that her father had placed his will in a safety deposit box with the bank when she turned eighteen as a coming–of–age gift. The only way to open it is with her fingerprint, which is not a match. That is why she has not been able to claim her inheritance, which is also the source of the rumor surrounding her identity.”

When Nathaniel heard that, he seemed to have come to a decision. “Find a way to get her fingerprint and a DNA test between her and the Ludwig family.”

While Nathaniel was doing his best to investigate Vera’s identity, Christina was not grieving. She and Nathaniel were on the same page–that Vera’s motives for approaching them were deeper than they first appeared.

In retrospect, it seemed that Vera’s chance encounter with Christina on the ship had been by design.

During my chance encounter with Vera on the gangplank, the surprise she spoke of must have been referring to her

and Nathaniel.

Christina felt frustrated by how slow she was to realize that.

I should have sensed her motives when she came and initiated the conversation.
