A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 711

Chapter 711 Stay Out Of The Way

However, Lyle did not return with the person Christina wished to see.

“Mrs. Hadley, after Mrs. Lazuli visited Emilia, she disappeared. Her manager has already reported to the company that they can’t contact Emilia,” Lyle reported in a serious tone. “Emilia’s contract with the entertainment company has two years left before it officially expires.”

Harboring dreams of stardom, Emilia sought to turn her life around through this avenue. What is her purpose if her disappearance isn’t forced but intentional? Is she trying to evade paying a penalty to the entertainment company for breaching her contract! However, there is no escaping the penalty. Emilia should know this well.

“After Mrs. Lazuli left Emilia’s place, she went straight to the police station. There’s no doubt that Mrs. Lazuli reported to the police that you were the one who plotted against Anya.” Lyle added.

“That is not Mrs. Lazuli’s intention. Find out Emilia’s whereabouts as soon as possible.”

Without Emilia stirring the pot, Mrs. Lazuli wouldn’t have risked such a move without concrete evidence.

In the evening. Nathaniel came to pick Christina up for a birthday banquet.

The banquet was hosted by David, who was celebrating his mother’s birthday with such extravagance it could rival any opulent feast.

Victoria and Sebastian, the subjects of intense public gossip, were also present. Christina was surprised to see them entertaining guests hand in hand.

Christina seized the opportunity and pulled Victoria into a secluded corner. “What brings you here?”

IfI remember correctly, I saw Preston’s name on the guest list.

“Sebastian is attending the banquet as Mr. Hadley’s secretary, and I’m accompanying him as his partner. Is there a problem with that?” Victoria swirled the wine glass in her hand casually, her gaze tracing Sebastian’s every move.

“Aren’t you afraid your brother will spot you?” Christina asked.

“Afraid? Quite the contrary. I’m actually anxious that he isn’t here yet. Since his meeting Sebastian is inevitable, having them meet in advance isn’t such a bad idea,” Victoria said, draping her arm around Christina’s shoulder. Tonight, nearly half of Jadeborough’s prominent figures will gather here. My brother, who values his pride over anything else, wouldn’t dare make a scene in front of this audience no matter how upset he is about my relationship with Sebastian. Besides, aren’t you and Mr. Hadley here to support us? Mr. Hadley would never let anyone bully his people.”

“By your words, if you married Sebastian, wouldn’t that make Preston Nathaniel’s and my brother–in- law?” Christina suddenly had this absurd thought.

Victoria’s delicate face crumpled into a frown. “Ah, how did I not think of that? Mr. Hadley treats Sebastian like a brother. Christina, am I causing trouble for you? Perhaps I should slip away before my brother arrives!

Christina’s gaze shifted to the entrance. She cocked a brow and said, “Too late. Preston is already here.”

Victoria quickly hid behind Christina, poking her head out cautiously to look at the entrance.

Unfortunately, Preston spotted Victoria the moment he stepped through the door. He walked straight

toward Christina.
