A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 679

Chapter 679 An Act

Christina whispered something in Victoria’s car, and the latter immediately flashed an evil grin.

“Playing the role of the antagonist? That’s right up my alley! Christina, watch out for my performance tomorrow. I promise it’ll meet your satisfaction!” Victoria proclaimed, patting her chest with unwavering confidence. “I’ll make sure justice is served on your behalf!”

Christina pursed her lips into a tight smile. “It’s getting late, so you should go to bed. We have a tough battle to fight tomorrow.”

Victoria climbed out of bed and said mysteriously, “Christina, feel free to get some rest. I have an important matter to attend to, so I’ll step out to make a phone call.”

Christina knew who she wanted to call. “Sure, go ahead. Don’t talk too long, though.”

Victoria’s cheeks turned pink as she spun on her heels to leave the room.

The following morning, as Christina and Victoria prepared to make their way to the restaurant for breakfast, Nathaniel arranged for Sebastian to deliver their morning meal instead.

“Mrs. Hadley, Mr. Hadley consumed too much alcohol last night and is feeling unwell today. As a result, he is unable to personally join you this morning. Nonetheless, he insisted that I bring breakfast to you,” Sebastian said, deliberately mentioning Nathaniel’s name. Unfortunately, his words had an unintended consequence, stirring a reaction opposite to what he had hoped for.

Christina replied coldly, “Mr. Taggart, why don’t you tell that to Ms. Ludwig? You shouldn’t have come to me. Perhaps he’s more than willing to allow Ms. Ludwig to take care of him.”

Her eyes drifted past Sebastian, focusing on the trays being held by the two servers behind him. “Take those away. I have no use for his guilt and attempts at making amends. Victoria, let’s go.”

If she were to accept Nathaniel’s apology, they wouldn’t be able to execute their upcoming plan.

Victoria let out an icy snort. “Regret won’t undo his actions now. Merely delivering breakfast won’t magically earn Christina’s forgiveness. If he’s feeling unwell, he should see the doctor. Christina won’t sympathize with him! He probably had a grand time with that vixen last night, and now he’s reaping what he sowed. He deserves every bit of it!”

Hearing that, Sebastian furrowed his brows and responded, “Victoria, please refrain from making such assumptions. I genuinely believe that Mr. Hadley is not the type of person you’re describing.”

Anger rushed through Victoria. Directing a frosty glare at him, she demanded, “Are you saying that I’ve wrongly accused Nathaniel?”

The conversation had veered off track. Not anticipating being drawn into the tangled situation, Sebastian hastily explained, “That wasn’t what I meant.”

“You work for Nathaniel, so it’s natural for you to defend him,” Victoria snapped. “Christina is my senior, so I’ll definitely side with her.”

Christina intervened, effectively halting the escalating tension. “Victoria, I’m starving. Let’s go.”

Hearing that, Victoria stopped arguing with Sebastian and left with Christina.

Sebastian remained rooted to his spot, a mixture of helplessness and embarrassment etched on his face. He gave the servers a dismissive wave. “Take those away.” Leaving two significant bills on the tray as compensation, he turned and returned to Nathaniel’s room to report back to him.

Victoria anxiously glanced over her shoulder multiple times to make sure that Sebastian didn’t come after them. She eagerly asked, “Christina, do you think I handled that situation well?” It was evident that Victoria was seeking validation.

“Mm. Not bad,” came Christina’s honest answer.

Victoria’s confidence was through the roof. “I think I can enter the entertainment industry and make a mark after I work on my acting skills for a few years. I can sense Sebastian’s displeasure after I said those words. Christina, do you think he’ll see me as a hypocrite and someone that is hard to please, and eventually break up with me?” Paranoia took hold of her.

Christina replied firmly, “Of course not. Sebastian might be dense in realizing his emotions, but he’s not a reckless man. I can tell he likes you a lot.”
