Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 746

Chapter 746 When Will You Marry Me

Sebastian answered Christina's question truthfully. “I'm sorry. The other party came prepared and intentionally hid their identity. As such, I've yet to unearth anything.”

Instead of reprimanding Sebastian, she smiled. “It's fine. There's no need to feel pressured because we need to be patient. Perhaps they'll lose their composure before us and expose themselves.”

Nathaniel turned to Sebastian. “Do you have a backup of the sample?”

In response, Sebastian shook his head. I didn't expect someone would steal the sample, so I only used a handkerchief to acquire some wine stains. The rest had been swept away by the cleaner. Even if we could retrieve some from the garbage bin, the sample would've been contaminated. If we submit that to the lab, not only will it increase the difficulty of their workload, it may all be for naught in the end.

“In that case, send someone to monitor Mrs. Lazuli and Barnaby. We'll search for clues through other means,” replied Nathaniel solemnly.

“Understood.” Sebastian nodded before continuing, “Mr. Stone hurriedly returned to Jadeborough. According to what I heard, he had a heated argument with Old Mr. Stone when they met up today. The reason was related to Mrs. Lazuli. Additionally, after Mr. Stone left, Old Mr. Stone and Mrs. Lazuli quarreled.”

He was aware of everything they were doing because he had already planted spies on Barnaby's side.

Raising her eyebrow, Christina asked, “Oh? What was their dispute about?”

“Old Mr. Stone suspected that Mrs. Lazuli was lying to him. He believed she had made him the scapegoat after plotting against Mr. Gibson. Consequently, the responsibility was thrust onto the family, indirectly leading to the war between the Hadley family, the Stone family, and the Gibson family.” Mrs. Lazuli is meticulous, but her plan's too challenging to execute. The possibility of it backfiring is high, and it has happened. Her scheme had only progressed one-third of its way before Barnaby, her absolute backing, destroyed it. Without his support, she can't do much. Hence, there's no way Mrs. Lazuli and Yerek will let Barnaby escape their grasp that easily.

“How did Barnaby resolve this issue in the end?” Enthusiasm was present in Christina's eyes.

Nathaniel stared at her affectionately, allowing her to ask Sebastian as many questions as she wanted.

“For Nigel's sake, Old Mr. Stone decided to reduce the frequency of his meetings with Mrs. Lazuli. He'll still provide her a residence and living expenses until she passes away,” answered Sebastian.

Christina thought, I assumed Barnaby would ignore Mrs. Lazuli's plight like the last few times, but it does seem he can be responsible.

Nathaniel remarked, “Barnaby's strained relationship with Mrs. Lazuli is unquestionably related to Sheridan. If we keep an eye on him, we'll most likely discover unexpected clues.”

After it was proven that the individual who stole the sample wasn't Barnaby, Nathaniel shifted his suspicions to Sheridan. I'm aware that Yerek's partially responsible for this, but I know he's temporarily occupied. Besides, it's unlikely he's capable enough to pull this off.

“Understood.” As Sebastian answered, he glanced at the sneaky figure outside of the door. “If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave now, Mr. Hadley, Mrs. Hadley.”

Christina had already spotted Victoria and smiled. “Go. Don't let my junior wait too long. Otherwise, she'll throw a tantrum soon.”

Embarrassed, Sebastian exited the lounge. Immediately, Victoria latched onto his towering figure like an octopus, ignoring the stares.

Sebastian tried to yank her off his body, but she responded by wrapping her limbs around him tighter. A sigh of resignation escaped his lips as he allowed her to do as she pleased.

“I signaled you so many times. Why did it take you so long to notice? I was waiting outside until my legs were aching,” spat Victoria, displeased. She enclosed her legs around his slim waist, her feet dangling in the air. I deliberately wore a pair of ten-centimeter high-heels to complement my gown today. After I ran around greeting the guests on behalf of Christina, my feet were exhausted.

Sebastian answered seriously, “Marriage is a big event in one's life. It mustn't be treated casually.” Of course, I want to marry her, but I'm not powerful enough yet. I must fulfill the promise I made in front of the Lesley family and present an unforgettable wedding to Victoria!
