Madison shuddered as a gust of cold wind blew past.
She wanted to expose Christina, but now that Christina was taken away by Nathaniel, Madison’s claims would be pointless since there weren’t any witnesses.
Moreover, Madison figured Julia must’ve guessed it too, but she couldn’t fathom why the latter didn’t take any action.
Under such circumstances, if Madison were to raise that issue, she might even risk getting herself labeled as a troublemaker.
“When I was chatting with Ms. Ada carlier, she lost her balance and fell. I panicked and jumped in after her. I’m sorry that I caused such a commotion.”
Tears welled up in Madison’s eyes. Her body was soaked, and the chilly winter wind blowing at her caused her to shiver in the cold.
Anyone who saw her in that pitiful state would sympathize with her, especially given her excellent relationship with Julia.
Bring Ms. Taggart back into the house so she can change into clean clothes.”
The housekeepers behind Julia immediately executed her orders after she spoke, stepping forward and helping Madison to enter the house.
Helen waited until they walked farther ahead before she approached and uttered in an undertone. “Mrs. Hadley, what should we do now?” Mr. Hadley mentioned he wanted an explanation. Does that mean Ms. Ada is closely acquainted with Mr. Hadley?
Julia’s doubts gradually cleared up, as if a thick fog in her mind had been lifted. She snorted and turned around to go back into the house.

Nathaniel wore a sheer cold expression. If I hadn’t been worried and followed her earlier, the person lying in front of me now wouldn’t be alive anymore. Instead, I’d be facing a corpse.
He uttered sternly, “Changing your clothes.” Does she still plan to continue working in this soaked outfit?
With that, he resumed ripping up the black clothes wrapped around her body.
The crisp sound of clothes being torn apart reverberged. In just a few seconds, Christina’s garments were torn into pieces.

Nathaniel, who had intended to continue, hesitated. He caught his breath as he took in the sight of her fair skin.
“Hurry up and change.”
Christina blinked, thinking he was going to continue tearing up her clothes. When she regained her senses, she hastily grabbed some clean clothes and rushed into the bathroom.
Moments later, she changed into a clean outfit. When exiting the bathroom, she couldn’t help but sneeze. Falling into the water during such chilly weather is definitely more exciting than taking a walk in an icehouse.
Before she could steady herself, Nathaniel pulled her over and started blow-drying her hair. “We’re going back right away. If I let her stay here any longer, something is bound to go wrong.
Christina felt her heart sink. The design of the gown is almost done. Won’t all my effort be wasted if I walk away now? But Nathaniel has always been a willful person, and no one can change his mind. Not to mention, he’s still enraged at the moment.
