Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 368

Christina played with the children in the front yard. Then, she drew pictures with them

Acnoon drew close Lucas and Camila grew tired of playing. Hence, Christina instructed the nanny to take them back to their room for an afternoon nap.

Later, Nathaniel worked in the study, Sebastian arranged some documents, and Christina lounged on the couch, drawing on her tablet

A knock on the door interrupted the quiet atmosphere of the room. The door swung open, and Madison

walked in

The women’s eyes met, and Christina recalled what Francis said the day before yesterday.

It was Madison who had leaked the secret back then.

However, without any evidence, it was just her word against Madison’s. She would achieve nothing and just put Madison on her guard if she were to confront her.

Then, a thought suddenly crossed Christina’s mind. She looked at Sebastian and asked, “Hey, Sebastian, you told me before that you still have the computer that was hacked four years ago, right?”

Yes, that’s right. Mr. Lucas said he would help me restore the data and identify the thief,” replied Sebastian in a serious tone.

He had kept the computer in good condition with that hope in his heart.

Madison tensed up. Why did Christina bring up this matter all of a sudden? No, I must not let her bring up this

matter!

“It’s been so long. Back then, the best hackers were hired to crack it, and all had failed,” countered Madison in a deliberately calm voice.

“No harm trying again.” Christina’s steely gaze pierced right through Madison. “What are you scared of?”

“I… No, what I meant was, the virus was very powerful. I’m just afraid that an information leak might happen again.” Madison looked away to hide her guilt.

The corners of Christina’s lip lifted in a small smirk. She gave Madison a loaded look but said nothing.

Ever since Sebastian had asked Lucas for help without prior authorization, Nathaniel had been worried about Lucas’ safety, so he had forbidden anyone from mentioning Lucas’ skills.

Sebastian glanced at Nathaniel, seeking his input.

“Bring the computer over tomorrow,” said Nathaniel casually.

“Yes, Mr. Hadley.”

Madison’s heart dropped to her stomach. Although she was unaware of Lucas’ abilities, she knew that she would be at risk of being exposed if the matter were to be investigated.

She had to figure out a way to stop any investigation.

A silence descended over the study once again, and Madison left after handing over her work.

She bumped into Christina in the corridor

In fact, Christina had been waiting for her.

Christina wore a long chiffon dress which she had cinched at the waist with a belt to show off her figure.

Standing there quietly, she looked beautiful in an ethereal and otherworldly way.

Madison had never really bothered with thoughts of Christina, “Mrs. Hadley, are you waiting for me?”

“Hand in your resignation, Madison, and I’ll consider not exposing what you’ve done to Nathaniel. I’ll allow you to leave with your dignity intact,” said Christina in a calm and measured voice.

In just a few seconds, Madison had been judged and punished for her evil deeds.

Madison felt as if Christina had stripped her bare. “There’s nothing for you to expose! Do not simply

accuse me!”

“Nathanic] has never even touched you. That child is not his! How long are you going to keep this up?”

Christina did not allow Madison the chance to defend herself. Her voice turned icy as she added, “If you still refuse to admit it, we can go confront Nathaniel now. How about that?”

There was only one wall separating the corridor where they were standing and the study where Nathaniel was working. Although the women were not speaking loudly, every word still felt like bullets shooting through Madison’s ears.

If Nathaniel knew what she was doing behind his back, he would be angry, and he would definitely cut her

off.
