A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 717

Chapter 717 Backfired

Is Azure at her wit’s end? I can’t believe she still wants to clear Nigel’s name!

Christina retorted sharply, “There’s no need for you to exhaust yourself trying to clear Nigel’s name. If he never had the intention to harm anyone, he wouldn’t need Winston’s help. Nigel is going to jail, and that’s a fact, so you don’t need to waste time defending him or attempting to overturn his case.”

Right after her words fell, a knife swung toward her.

Azure had swiftly retrieved a knife from her bag and swung it menacingly at Christina, her expression filled with hostility.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Lyle swiftly disarmed Azure, knocking the knife out of her hand. He then twisted her wrist, causing a loud crack to echo through the room as Azure let out a piercing scream of pain.

Lyle forcefully pushed Azure away, creating distance between her and Christina. After positioning himself in front of Christina, he assumed a protective stance and fixed Azure with a stern glare.

Azure was too old to climb to her feet after crashing to the ground.

Right then, someone knocked on the door from the outside.

Azure gathered her might and called for help, “Help! Someone wants to kill me! Save me! Don’t come near me!”

Both Christina and Lyle stood rooted to their spots, watching Azure putting up an act.

Outside, the commotion grew as people heard Azure’s cries for assistance. They started pounding on the door, desperately trying to break in and come to her aid.

“Lyle, open the door,” Christina ordered, turning to Lyle.

Lyle went over to the door to open it. The people outside stumbled and tumbled into the restroom, landing in a disheveled heap on the floor. It was a scene of utter disorder and confusion.

Azure quickly grabbed the chance to say weakly, “Save me! They want me dead!”

The security team leader of the mall hurriedly stepped forward, his voice filled with concern. “Madam, please don’t be afraid. We are here to ensure your safety. Allow us to escort you to the hospital immediately.”

Azure gripped his hands tightly and wailed, “Thank you so much! If you hadn’t made it here in time, I would’ve died here.”

“Don’t worry. We’ll make sure justice is served. We’ve already called the police,” the security team leader assured her. He didn’t even investigate what happened and assumed Christina and Lyle were in the wrong.

Sometimes, one’s age was a great weapon to attack others.

Azure knew that, so she used the public’s sympathy to frame Christina.

To safeguard the privacy of their customers, the mall had chosen not to install surveillance cameras inside the restroom, inadvertently providing an advantage to Azure.

Christina approached Azure and gave her a cold look. “Old Mrs. Gibson, this is a lawful society. If you are found guilty of defamation, you will have to face the consequences. I strongly advise you to reconsider your actions and the path you choose to take,” she warned, her voice icy. “My lawyer will be in touch with you to handle the necessary legal proceedings.”

The crowd could barely believe their ears. Could there be something we are unaware of? The elderly woman appears frail and helpless, lying on the ground. It seems as though she is the one being victimized. On the other hand, the young lady and gentleman do not exhibit any signs of guilt.
