A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 754

Chapter 754 Unwanted Gift

Christina felt nothing toward Azure, so she had no qualms about doing so.

Hesitantly, Lyle disclosed. “The Stone family has already suppressed the discussion. If we intentionally make it a trending topic, the Stone family will come looking for trouble.”

Fearlessly, Christina replied, “That’s exactly what we want. Barnaby cares about his dignity. He wants the outside world to see him as an affectionate man. While he may suppress trending topics once, he won’t do it again. Even if he knows I’m pulling the strings behind the scene, he can only swallow his anger and let it happen.”

Victoria delegated the rest of her work to Rayne before approaching Christina with Hera in tow. “Have you thought about where you’ll bring Hera and me for a fancy meal, Christina? We’re ready to leave.”

Nathaniel was probably busy because he didn’t reply immediately Christina didn’t think much about it. Abruptly, Hera informed apologetically, “I need to visit the restroom first. Please wait for me. Ms. Steele

“It’s fine. I’ll wait, replied Christina

Linking arms with Hera, Victoria suggested. “Let’s go together Since you aren’t familiar with this place, show you the way

While she didn’t know who Hendrick was, Christina did.

Christina sneered, “Throw it away. I don’t need it.” If I accept this gift, not only will I end up angering Nathaniel, but it will also be the end of my quiet, peaceful days. I know what Hendrick’s thinking.

Stunned, Rayne inquired, “Are you sure you want me to throw it away before checking what’s inside? It seems expensive,”

“If you like it, you can keep it. Mr. Hadley dislikes seeing me accepting gifts from other men.” D
