Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 219

Whoosh!

Everyone glanced in the direction that Julia was pointing, only to notice Christina’s trembling gaze.

Christina was surprised that Julia would publicly admit that she was the Hadley family’s daughter–in–law.

What shocked her more was that Julia actually defended her after finding out that someone else had pretended to be Ada.

She felt a sense of security, having been defended by an elder.

Walking to the stage, Christina looked at the confused audience and explained, “It’s true that I designed. this Jasmine series!”

Undeniably, she admitted that she was Ada.

Shelley gaped at her in disbelief. Christina’s actually Ada? Why didn’t she say it from the beginning? Why has she been concealing it from me? Did she do it on purpose to humiliate me in front of everyone?

“You’re so cruel, Christina. You’ve already thought about how to sabotage me right from when I used Ada’s name, right?” With her face filled with fury, Shelley wished for nothing more than to rip the skin off Christina’s face to vent her anger.

Christina raised her brows, a look of disdain flitting across her eyes. Is Shelley acting all indignant even though she’s the one who stole my designs?

She then glanced upward coldly, not making any concessions anymore. “Firstly, anyone can use the name. Ada. I don’t have special rights over it. Second, if you haven’t stolen my designs, would you be in this pathetic state now?”

Having asserted the truth so firmly, Christina dismantled all excuses that Shelley could possibly fabricate.

As if someone had just skinned her alive, Shelley glared at the other woman furiously and bellowed, “Let me tell you this. It’s not over between both of us!”

She’s the one who has done something wrong. How dare she speak in such an arrogant tone? Snorting coldly, Julia said, “Yeah, it isn’t over. I bought the designs for the gowns, so the design rights belong to me too. Since you’ve stolen the designs that I’ve bought, you’ve committed the crime of theft. Please head to the police station now and explain yourself!”

The police had already arrived at the scene by then.

After finding out what had happened, they immediately surrounded Shelley. “Ma’am, someone has sued you for infringement. Please follow us to the police station.”

As if she had just been electrocuted, Shelley felt her mind go completely blank.

When she returned to her senses, she was dragged off the stage and pulled away in front of everyone’s

eyes.

“I didn’t! I’m not going to the police station. Let go of me!”

Shelley struggled with all her might to break free. If she went to the police station, it would stay on the records. There would be a taint in her life then.

Yet, no matter how loudly she declared her innocence, no one stepped forward to help her.

Looking at Shelley being dragged away, Christina felt a sense of pity.

When she had seen the same designs, she felt uneasy too. Just when she was about to demand an explanation from Shelley, Julia intervened unexpectedly.

After that dramatic ordeal, Julia brought Christina down the stage and introduced Christina as her daughter–in–law to her friends.

She had never realized that Christina was such a capable woman. It was quite an honorable thing to have a famous designer as her daughter–in–law.

News about this spread like wildfire.

Soon, everyone in Jadeborough knew that Christina was Ada, and everything she designed was of the utmost quality.

Julia sent Christina back to Scenic Garden Manor at night.

“Your designs are amazing. Don’t hide in the future. If you’re capable, you should show off your skills to

the world.”

Christina felt extremely touched, for Julia used to look down on her occupation.

“Thanks, Mom. I’ll do my best!”

There was nothing that could make her happier than having her family support her career.

Julia nodded. “Very good. Consider resigning and starting your own company. Nathaniel can afford the

funds needed for you to do so. If it’s insufficient, you can ask me for money.”

Start a company independently?

Christina could not help but burst out laughing. Looks like Mrs. Hadley has high praise for Nathaniel’s abilities.

F*ck Christina! This is all thanks to her. I definitely won’t let this slide easily.
