Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 749

Chapter 749 Masterpiece

Oh, no... The hefty price of coveting Nathaniel's woman.

Hendrick's target was indeed Christina, but if he tangled with Nathaniel, his dream would turn into a nightmare.

If Nathaniel were to discover his intention toward Christina, being flayed alive would be the least severe punishment Hendrick could expect. That Grim Reaper will undoubtedly do away with me.

“Ah... I haven't done drafting my project proposal, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to discuss the collaboration with Mr. Hadley so rashly. After all, Mr. Hadley's time is precious, and I can't afford to waste it.” Wearing a resentful expression, Hendrick was forced to cast aside his lewd thoughts. “Since you're busy with work, Mrs. Hadley, I won't disturb you further. Let's meet another day.”

Victoria sneered, prompting Hendrick to flee in a panic.

Watching his pathetic retreating figure from behind, Christina couldn't help but chuckle. “Why did you scare him? Just let him be. He has the intention but certainly lacks the courage to act on it.”

Victoria snorted. “If he had lingered a few more minutes, I would've beaten him up. Has he got the nerves of steel or something? I can't believe he dares to try to covet you without considering who your husband is.”

Her impression of Hendrick couldn't be worse. Every time she thought of his lecherous smile, Victoria felt nauseous.

“I'm counting on the fact that he won't do me any harm, which was why I didn't confront him outright earlier. Hendrick is a David and Winston's relative, so keeping him around may still be useful.”

“But you didn't have to sacrifice your dignity to accomplish that goal- Mmm!”

Christina abruptly covered Victoria's mouth with her hand. The latter glared at Christina, threatening Christina to let go with her stern gaze.

Christina dragged her aside. “Victoria, this mall belongs to the Hadley family, and there may be people around who are associated with Mr. Hadley. Are you trying to tell everyone that Mr. Hadley is about to be cuckolded by me by making a huge fuss about this? Please spare me. If Mr. Hadley gets mad, even I can't handle his wrath.”

Realizing how recklessly she was, Victoria smiled apologetically. “I'm sorry. I just spoke my mind without thinking much.”

Christina reminded her, “Don't repeat this mistake again. We can't let another person know about our meeting with Hendrick here today.”

Victoria nodded.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of the fashion show soon arrived.

Christina finally knew what was the big surprise Victoria had arranged for her.

It was Hera's jewelry sponsorship. Not only did Hera generously lend jewelry to Victoria to support the event, but she also personally came to the venue to watch the show.

The initially quiet venue was instantly packed with visitors. Journalists arrived in waves as the flashes of their cameras flickered incessantly.

“What do you think of this surprise, Christina?” Victoria arched her brow smugly.

“Absolutely amazing!” Christina enthusiastically pecked Victoria's cheek a few times. “This is your reward, my dear Victoria.”

“That's not enough. You have to treat Hera and me to a meal after this event ends.” Victoria seized the opportunity to make her demand. “We want a luxurious and scrumptious seafood feast. I will not accept anything less.”

“Of course. I'll make sure you can eat to your heart's content,” Christina chirped. “The fashion show is about to start. Let's get down to business first. We need to go backstage and do a final check.”
