A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 762

Chapter 762 Resurrected

Christina’s first thought was that the deal between Victoria and Emilia had been exposed.

“Is there anyone else who knows about the deal you made with Emilia?” Christina asked.

Victoria pondered over it seriously for a moment before shaking her head. Feeling at a loss, she replied, “The only ones I told were you and Seb.” The next moment, realization dawned on her, and she exclaimed, “It’s Emilia. She must’ve been the one who spilled the beans!”

Christina could not help but feel like something was amiss.

Casting a sharp gaze at Victoria, she asked solemnly. “Victoria, be honest with me. Other than creating a fake identity for Emilia to go abroad and telling her where the evidence is, did you make any other deals with her?”

Without hesitation, Victoria shook her head and replied, “Nope. Christina, there’s really nothing else. I’m telling the truth.”

As the matter concerned her safety, it would not make sense for Victoria to lie.

If the anonymous sender’s objective was to prevent the truth of what happened fifteen years ago from getting exposed by using Emilia’s tragic end to warn Victoria, it was unlikely that Victoria was his first target, and neither would she be the last.

Anyone who was linked to that piece of evidence from fifteen years ago or had seen the evidence was at risk of being killed!

Who could that person be?

Christina fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time. While watching Christina silently, Victoria was also paying attention to her surroundings, as she was worried that someone would suddenly appear and assault her.

“Victoria, how can you be sure that Emilia is dead?”

“There was a letter in the box warning me to be careful with what I say if I don’t want to end up dying a gruesome death like Emilia. Christina, I tried contacting Emilia, but her phone was switched off. Something bad must have happened to her.”

Taking a pause, she continued, “Emilia did show up at Azure’s funeral yesterday, I saw her talking to Barnaby, but I’m not sure what they spoke about. Emilia needs money, and Winston had gone bankrupt. Since she wouldn’t be able to get anything from him, she would definitely try to get some from Barnaby by threatening him. After all, Barnaby was also involved in what happened fifteen years ago.”

Victoria was filled with regret. Thinking back, she must have lost her mind to have made that deal with Emilia. She wouldn’t be in the current mess if she had not done that.

Victoria paced around in fear while dialing Sebastian’s number repeatedly. However, none of the calls got through.

Kneeling in front of Christina, she said, “Christina, do you think something bad has happened to Seb? I tried asking around, but no one knows where he is. You must help me. I’m begging you. I can’t let anything bad happen to him.”

Christina helped Victoria up and replied with a stern expression, “Get up first. Sit down, and we can talk properly. I’ll get angry if you kneel down again.”

Upon hearing that, Victoria sat down on the couch obediently. She was so anxious that all colors had drained from her face.

Just then, Lyle returned after inspecting the surroundings. The next moment, Sebastian walked into the room behind him.

Victoria immediately sprung up from the couch and threw herself in Sebastian’s arms. “Seb, I wasn’t able to reach you. I thought something bad has happened to you!” She burst into tears after saying that.

Comforting the woman gently, Sebastian said, “My phone was broken. Don’t cry. Look, I’m back safe and sound.”

Victoria gradually stopped crying, but her arms were still tightly wrapped around Sebastian.

Holding Victoria in his arms, Sebastian walked toward Christina and said with an apologetic smile, “Lyle told me what happened. Mrs. Hadley, I’m so sorry to have troubled you. Thanks for rushing over to check on Victoria.”

“No problem. Victoria is my junior. It’s my responsibility to protect her when she’s in danger,” Christina replied before continuing, “By the way, Victoria mentioned that you left in a hurry after receiving a phone call. From what I know, Mr. Hadley didn’t assign any tasks to you.”
