A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 710

Chapter 710 Clear My Name

Azure would rather place her trust in Emilia than Christina, as she had suffered in the hands of the latter many times.

“Present your evidence, and I might believe what you say.”

Little did she know Emilia was waiting for this very moment. “You want evidence, right? Wait here. I’ll fetch it for you.”

Emilia turned around and strode into the bedroom. Azure watched as Emilia searched high and low inside the room, not knowing what Emilia was looking for.

Noticing that Emilia was coming out of the room, Azure quickly withdrew her gaze, feigning an air of nonchalance as she looked askance at Emilia.

“Have you found it?” she asked, reaching out to Emilia. “Let me have a look.”

Emilia shoved a phone into her hand. “This is the surveillance camera footage from the scene. You will understand what happened once you see it.”

Azure played the video and realized that it was footage from an accident. Captured within the footage was Anya’s car veering out of control, then crashing into the roadside before exploding.

Soon, three figures appeared not far from the explosion site. Two of them she recognized were Christina and Nathaniel. However, the third was a familiar face yet she couldn’t remember.

Stoking the fire, Emilia added, “Even if Christina couldn’t commit such heinous acts like murder and arson, her husband, Nathaniel, could. They’re birds of a feather, both deplorable.”

Azure’s hands holding the phone trembled violently. Had she not seen this footage, Christina might have successfully fooled her.

“Since you hold such evidence, why not hand it over to the police? What are you waiting for?” Azure questioned Emilia, her tone full of hatred.

“I wish to seek justice for Anya, but I am powerless.” Emilia displayed her impeccable acting skills, her voice choked with sobs. “The Hadley family owns the entire Jadeborough. They have eyes on me at all times. If I hand this evidence over, I’ll surely be the next victim. I am living in perpetual fear. It’s not easy for me.”

Azure felt that something didn’t add up. However, her thoughts were a jumbled mess, and she could not see through the hidden secrets within.

“Then what about your plot with Anya to kidnap Christina? How do you explain that?”

“I did not participate in that. I’m usually busy, so I rarely contact Anya. Usually, she’s the one seeking me out.” Emilia sounded so convincing that she managed to hoodwink Azure with her silver tongue. “I won’t interfere with how you choose to handle this evidence. My only condition is that Christina and Nathaniel must not know the evidence came from me. Can we agree on that?”

Azure regarded Emilia in silence.

Emilia pleaded, “Please, I beg you. Since I helped you, help me out just this once. I have a deep grudge against Christina. She’s itching for a chance to teach me a lesson.”

After a moment of silence, Azure said, “Very well. You have my word.”

A wide smile stretched across Emilia’s face, but her eyes held not a shred of warmth.

She personally escorted Azure to the door and laughed smugly. “What a fool. The Gibsons are such fools to fall for such a ruse. Christina, let’s see how you get out of this one!”

After exiting Emilia’s house, Azure hailed a cab to head to the police station to hand over the evidence.

The police treated the matter with high priority and dispatched officers to Scenic Garden Manor immediately.
