Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 213

The car finally arrived at the Hadley residence.

While getting out of the car, Julia reminded Christina, “Remember to come home with Nathaniel for a

meal tomorrow.”

It was Thanksgiving the next day–a day for families to gather.

Christina felt her heart expanding with warmth. “Okay, Mom.”

After Julia and Helen had gotten out of the car, the driver brought Christina back to Scenic Garden Manor.

Documents were displayed on Nathaniel’s table in the study.

Meanwhile, Christina poured a glass of warm milk before heading upstairs.

After all, she heard from one of the kitchen staff Nathaniel skipped dinner and went straight to the study. to deal with some matters the moment he got home.

Christina could not bear to let him go hungry.

“Why are you still working when it’s so late?” she asked as she pushed the door open, only to be greeted by a strong stench of blood.

Her stomach churned. Before she could even do anything, the scene stunned her.

Several fierce bodyguards were beating a man up.

It was a scary sight, for the man was covered in blood, barely breathing, and unrecognizable due to his swollen features.

Madison looked over and glared at Christina from an angle where Nathaniel could not see it.

Disdain filled Madison’s heart when she saw the shocked expression on Christina’s face. “Please excuse us, Mrs. Hadley. We’re handling some official business.”

What kind of business requires torturing people?

Christina’s fingers that held the glass of milk trembled. She hesitated for a moment and entered the room.

Before she could even steady herself, Nathaniel pulled her into his arms.

His firm chest emanated a warmth that seemed to surround her.

Nathaniel glanced over at his subordinates. “Take care of this. Send him to the police station.”

“Understood, Mr. Hadley.”

The bodyguards quickly brought the man out of the study.

Before leaving, the man pleaded, “Please forgive me, Mr. Hadley. Don’t-”

As soon as he was brought away, the housekeeper promptly entered and cleaned up the study.

No blood traces could be found on the sparkling clean floor.

Only then did Christina ask with concern. “What were you guys dealing with earlier?”

Things looked quite serious earlier. Otherwise, they would not have beaten the man up.

Nathaniel lifted the glass of warm milk and took a sip while his right hand remained wrapped around Christina’s waist.

Sebastian chipped in, “The finance department’s data had a few problems that messed up all the current accounts. It was a serious matter that required Mr. Hadley to take care of it himself.”

It turned out that a competitor bought over an employee from the finance department. The latter changed a part of the financial data, which messed up the accounts.

In fact, the matter was so serious that all the employees of the finance department had a hard time trying to resolve the problem, despite working overtime.

Jealousy bubbled in Madison’s heart as she watched Christina lean into Nathaniel’s embrace.

Christina looks so clueless. I bet she doesn’t even know what a data table is.

That was when Madison was even more determined to make Nathaniel know Christina could not help him when he needed it.

Only I can help relieve him of his troubles.

“Nathaniel, I’ve contacted an experienced data engineer, Mr. Darian Jarrett. I can get him to help with Hadley Corporation’s accounts,” said Madison confidently.

Sebastian’s eyes lit up. “Can you really get Mr. Jarrett’s help? It’s not easy to invite him over, you know?”

Madison rolled her eyes inwardly. What a joke. Does she think she can simply give it a try like it’s a piece of

clothing?
