Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 251

Christina breathed a sigh of relief only after she hung up the phone.

“Was that your boyfriend?” asked Benjamin.

Uh… That was my husband.” Christina flushed, feeling a little shy.

She rarely mentioned Nathaniel to outsiders because he attracted too much attention. Besides, she did not want to attract the attention of people with ulterior motives.

As if discovering an interesting fact, Benjamin said, “D”mn. I thought you were still underage. Turns out you’re married.”

It was understandable that he saw her that way since she had fair skin and smiled in a way that charmed everyone. It would not be an exaggeration to say that anyone would fall in love with her at first sight.

“The details of the next round of the competition will be announced tomorrow. You should rest early.” Christina put down her empty cup and got up to leave.

Seeing that. Benjamin opened the door and gestured to the door. “Good night.”

“Good night.” Upon reaching her room, Christina stopped thinking about the protest.

They’ll leave when they’re tired. Everyone’s got to work, anyway. They can’t possibly starve themselves and hang around the gate to protest.

Christina got into the bed and soon fell asleep.

At midnight, unified shouts from the outside traveled into the room. “Withdraw from the competition, Christina! Withdraw!”

They shouted in unison, and their voices grew louder with each shout. Soon, everyone in the house was awakened.

Several designers rushed to Christina’s door and scolded, “You’re a jinx, Christina! Get out now!”

“Open up, Christina! Deal with your problem now!”

“How are we supposed to sleep with all this noise?”

The moment Christina opened the door, she was met with several pairs of eyes that were glaring at her as if they wanted to gobble her up.

Nonetheless, there was nothing Christina could do about the protestors out there. It was not like she asked for this.

Standing in front of the crowd, Nancy threatened, “Get rid of those people now or withdraw from the competition.”

“That’s right. Your problem is affecting us!” Margaret uttered in an unpleasant tone while glaring at Christina.

The two women’s exaggerated words made the rest of the designers agree that Christina had to either withdraw from the competition or get rid of the people out there.

Intensifying Public Opinion.

The criticisms made Christina feel suffocated, but she could not just ignore the matter. After all, she was. the cause of all this.

“Let me check with the security guards.” Christina put on a coat and went downstairs.

As soon as she found the security guards on duty, she asked, “Why aren’t you guys chasing them away? The noise is affecting the others.”

How are these people standing in the middle of the road for an entire day when it’s so cold? Are they being paid to do

this?

Alas, the guard said exasperatedly. “We don’t have a choice. Everything outside of the mansion is public property. There’s no use calling the police as long as they do nothing illegal in public areas.”

In fact, the security guards would have driven the crowd away instead of just looking at them if they had the authority to do something about it.

Christina sighed, feeling helpless as she watched the group of people shout louder than before.

I guess I should give Nathaniel a call. He’s my husband, after all. Trivial matters like this should be resolved as long as I ask for his help.

Hence, Christina turned around and approached the door. To her dismay, Margaret had roped in the other designers to lock the door.

“Christina, you’re not getting in if you don’t deal with those people.”

“You jinx! You have no right to come in!”

Christina stared at the locked door in shock.
