Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 229

Hearing Nathaniel’s words, Christina felt a warm sensation in her heart, and she was deeply moved.

If it weren’t for the crowd, she would have wanted to give him a kiss.

Apart from Christina, the faces of everyone present looked grim.

To them, Nathaniel’s words still carried a lot of weight, and openly opposing him was like digging their

own grave.

If this matter was simply ignored, however, they would feel a sense of unease and discomfort in their hearts.

“You want evidence? I have it!” Someone broke the silence.

Christina’s slender figure appeared from behind Nathaniel. Her pure smile showed no hint of worry, and her crystal–clear eyes suggested an air of innocence and naivete.

Those present began to wonder if Christina had any idea how serious the situation was.

They wondered if she was naturally foolish or if she really thought she could act recklessly because she was under Nathaniel’s protection.

Christina handed the documents she had been holding in her arms to Sebastian with confidence. “You accused me of selling company secrets of Hadley Corporation, right? This is the one, isn’t it?”

She then continued, “Open your eyes and look clearly. If you have evidence, feel free to call the police.”

Christina’s resolute expression caused everyone’s faces to darken even more.

Sebastian hurriedly checked the documents. His eyes suddenly widened in surprise before he exclaimed happily, “These are safety instructions on how to use a product. There isn’t any important confidential information!”

He knew all along that Christina wouldn’t betray Nathaniel. It just didn’t make sense.

In disbelief, Madison snatched the documents and started flipping through the pages. None of them were related to important documents but were instead instructions for a massage chair.

How could this be?

She couldn’t believe that Christina just turned the tables on her.

Christina shouldn’t have had enough time to swap out the documents in her hands from when she entered the room.

Madison wondered how Christina managed to see through her scheme.

With her hands on her hips, Christina lifted her chin and said proudly, “Can you see now that I’m innocent?”

Her shimmering gaze fixed on Madison’s frozen expression, and a teasing smirk curled up at the corner of her lips.

Sebastian nodded and showed the documents to the shareholders present. “Now, take a good look, everyone. Mrs. Hadley doesn’t have any confidential information in her hands. Are you satisfied now?”

With the evidence presented before them, everyone stared at each other in silence.

The shareholders gave Madison a reproachful look as if she had embarrassed them.

The shareholder who had spoken first a while ago made his way to Christina and said, “Mrs. Hadley, we misunderstood you. Please accept my apologies.”

Seeing this, other shareholders followed suit and apologized to Christina, “We were wrong to suspect you. Mrs. Hadley, please forgive our ignorance.”

Upon hearing the apologies, Christina was somewhat satisfied.

She waved her little hand and said, “I understand that you were misled by despicable people. It’s just a small matter. You may leave now.” Upon hearing her words, a few shareholders were momentarily stunned before giving a wry smile and leaving the private room.

Seeing Chloe Lopez trying to slip away, Christina stopped her and asked, “Excuse me, miss. Who was it that asked you to come here and tarnish my reputation?”

Christina’s eyes shimmered with a cold glint. Now that she had the chance to catch the culprit red–handed, she wasn’t going to let it go so easily.

Chloe’s face froze and turned pale in an instant.

Her eyes were like those of a thief caught in the act, looking incredibly guilty.

She glanced at Madison and didn’t say a word.

To prevent Chloe from escaping, Christina had two bodyguards stationed at the door, and then she ordered, “No one is to leave until we sort out this matter.”

She narrowed her eyes and fixed her icy gaze on Chloe. “You’d better speak up now. Otherwise, you’ll be explaining yourself to the police later.”
