Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 603

Chapter 603 Gone Too Far 

The initially grand-looking mansion seemed to have been ruined by a bunch of debt collectors. The glass windows and walls had red paint all over, and obscene words were sprayed on them. 

Some glass windows on the second floor were also broken, and the courtyard was filled with rubbish. 

As soon as Christina opened the main door with her fingerprint, a few men shoved her aside and rushed 

out of the mansion. 

As a result, Christina had to hold on to the door handle to balance herself. 

Right after those men made their way out of the mansion, they were pinned to the ground by a few men dressed as bodyguards. Meanwhile, the driver quickly ran toward Christina and asked concernedly, “Are you all right, Mrs. Hadley?” 

Christina nodded. “I’m fine. Who are those men?” 

She meant the bodyguards, who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere. 

The driver wiped the beads of sweat off of his forehead and answered, “Those are the men Mr. Hadley sent to protect you in secret.” 

Christina furrowed her brows, but she didn’t seem vexed by Nathaniel’s decision. “Tie those intruders up and bring them into the house. I need to question them.” 

With that, she entered the mansion. Although the place was ransacked, it appeared cleaner than the outside. 

Christina then walked around the house and noticed that a lot of valuable items in the closet were stolen./ and the surveillance cameras were destroyed. Bailey has to see this in order to confirm the amount of damages caused. 

When Christina was making her way back down the stairs, the bodyguards had already brought the intruders back into the mansion. 

The intruders were a few unruly and insolent teenagers. Though they were caught red-handed, they didn’t show any fear or remorse and started cursing at Christina. 

Hearing that, the bodyguards immediately slapped them across their faces to shut them up. 

Christina sat down in front of them and asked coldly, “Did you guys do this?” 

A teenager with a buzz cut answered, “No. We were merely here to make some quick money. We thought we could sneak in and steal some valuable items when we saw the windows were broken. Unfortunately for us, you showed up before we could leave.” 

“You better tell me the truth!” Christina demanded in a deep voice. 

The five of them quickly answered at once, “We’ve been nothing but honest! This is our first time stealing. Could you let us go? We’ll return everything.” 

Right then, the driver ran in, followed by a security guard working for the management office. 

“Mrs. Hadley, I’ve gone through the surveillance footage. These thieves weren’t the ones who vandalized 

“Take them to the police,” Christina waved her hand in annoyance and instructed the bodyguards to take the teenagers away. 

After that, she looked at the security guard and sneered, “What was the management staff doing? Didn’t you guys know the mansion was vandalized?” 

The security guard answered sheepishly. “We didn’t receive any complaints, but we called the owner as soon as we found out about it. However, we couldn’t get in touch with her, and we didn’t know who to look for.” 

Christina couldn’t be bothered to question the security guard further. “Where’s the surveillance footage? Let me have a look.” 

The driver handed her his phone. 

The surveillance footage showed a car parked in front of the mansion the night before. A few men were then seen coming out of the car and vandalizing the mansion. Half an hour later, a white luxury car was seen driving past the mansion. 

Christina paused the footage and zoomed in to see who was sitting in the white luxury car. That’s Zeila! I can’t believe she resorted to pulling these lowly tricks despite coming from an affluent family! The Cook family had already made compromises, but Zeila still refuses to let them go! She’s gone too far! Fortunately, Bailey is already abroad. If she were to see what had happened to her mansion, she would go berserk. 

“Send me the surveillance footage and get some people to clean and fix the mansion. Make sure to keep this under wraps,” Christina ordered in a deep voice. 

The driver and the security guard grunted in acknowledgment at once. 

Christina went back into her car and sent the footage to Julian. She also texted him: Your associates made a mess. You’re responsible for wrapping things up. 

Julian replied fairly quickly, showing his concern: I’ll take care of it. Is Bailey okay? 

In response, Christina replied indifferently: She doesn’t need you to worry about her. 

Julian was wise enough to not pester Christina after that. 

Christina thought the matter was settled, but to her surprise, the management office of the mansion called her in the afternoon. The management told her that someone was trying to burn Bailey’s mansion to the ground. 

Panicking, Christina rushed to Bailey’s house immediately. 

At that moment, the mansion was surrounded by onlookers, and the security guards from the management office and the troublemakers were in a stalemate. Meanwhile, clouds of smoke were seen above the mansion, filling the air with the smell of something burning. 

Through the car window, Christina saw Zeila in a white luxury car parked opposite the road. 

“Come with me,” Christina said to the bodyguard in the passenger seat. With that, she opened the car door and strode toward the white luxury car. 

Zeila saw Christina and sized her up, saying provocatively, “Where’s Gabrielle? Where’s that b*tch? Why is
