A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 757

Chapter 757 Raining Cats And Dogs

Lyle didn’t understand what Christina meant, so he asked, “Do you mean you want me to create rumors to cause Barnaby trouble and let him expose the truth by himself?”

With a sinister expression, Christina declared, “No. My goal is the Stone family. Sheridan attempted to take Mr. Hadley’s life, so I’ll destroy what they care about the most in return.” One commonality between Barnaby and Sheridan is that they’ll do anything to make the Stone family a business empire. It was only after thoroughly analyzing the cruel truth from fifteen years ago that I realize I’ve overlooked the most essential part from the very beginning. The Hadley family’s foundation is located in Jadeborough, and Hallsbay was only one of the locations where Charlie developed his business. Meanwhile, the Gibson family’s greatest competitor in Hallsbay isn’t solely the Hadley family. There’s also the Stone family, which is an equal match with the Gibson family. If we can turn the Gibson family and the Stone family against each other, the Hadley family will be the ultimate winner. As such, I began investigating the Stone family’s development fifteen years ago. I discovered that after my parent’s accident, Nigel took over Gibson Corporation and handed that project over to someone else. On the surface, it would appear Winston got lucky, but in reality, Barnaby was the one who took over that mess. It was because of that project the Stone family acquired a hefty profit. After that, they began expanding into other industries, which eventually led to their glorious state.

When her train of thought ended there, Christina felt remorseful. If I had been more meticulous, perhaps I would’ve saved myself a lot of trouble.

“I know what I should do now,” Lyle said. “Mrs. Lazuli’s funeral has been prepared, and Mr. Gibson has received the news. He mentioned he’ll let you decide the date.”

Upon considering her next move, Christina informed, “Tomorrow, then. Mrs. Lazuli is Nigel’s mother. He shouldn’t be kept in the dark about it. Relay what Yerek told the police to him. As for what he’ll think, that’s his matter to deal with.” If Nigel’s smart, he’ll guess why and how Mrs. Lazuli passed away. It’ll be interesting to see Nigel and Yerek, father and son, turn against each other.

Christina added solemnly, “One more thing. I want you to locate Emilia’s whereabouts as soon as possible and regain the evidence she stole from Winston. Those are important to me.”

“One way to accomplish that in the shortest amount of time is to start with Yerek. They’re working together, after all. If she’s on the run, I bet she’s still in contact with Yerek,” suggested Lyle.

“I don’t care if Emilia’s dead or alive as long as the evidence is brought to me,” she commanded frigidly. Emilia’s purpose for taking those evidence is obvious, which is to threaten me with them at the right time. I’m not afraid of that, but I’m worried that the most useful evidence will be destroyed. If that happens, the efforts I’ve invested into this affair will be for naught. They’ve been living too carefreely for too many years. It’s time for them to face the consequences of their wrongdoings!

After Lyle left, Christina returned to the bedroom to look after Nathaniel.

When she did, she saw Nathaniel sitting up, reaching for the glass of water on the bedside table. Hurriedly. she dashed toward him and lent him a hand.

“You should’ve asked for help if you want to drink water What if you fall off the bed?” said Christina, worried.

With a hoarse voice, Nathaniel replied. “I’m fine. It’s just a minor injury. Besides, the fewer people who know about my wound, the better

Sitting on the side of the bed, Christina spoke tearfully You almost lost your life! How could you say it’s a minor injury? Do you know how worried I was about you?”

Nathaniel couldn’t be bothered to drink the water when he saw Christina’s tears. Panicking, he consoled her, “Don’t cry. Your mood will affect the baby.”

Christina glared at him. “Then why did you make me worry?”

Nathaniel said earnestly, “I predicted something would happen today, but I didn’t expect they would be so bold as to attempt to murder me.”
