Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 478

Atall figure walked in right after the waiter served her coffee.

Christina waved at him, and Sheridan walked over, smiling slightly.

It was obvious he had rushed all the way over.

“Christina, | think Anya knows you're investigating her accounts,” Sheridan whispered.

“Really? That's fast.” Christina was shocked to hear that. She had been very careful while dealing with this issue, after all. Did Yerek say something to her?

“Anya came looking for me when | returned one day, trying to find out if I'm helping you take care of the accounts. Don't worry. | didn't say anything. | sent the accounts over immediately when | was done with them.”

Christina was extremely grateful. Taking the flash drive the man had handed her, she said, “Thank you, Sheridan. | can't thank you enough.”

“Don't thank me if you see me as your friend. Perhaps there will come a day when you can help me,” Sheridan answered with a smile.

Christina nodded as she kept the flash drive. “Send me the bill once you're back.

You'd better not give me a discount. Oh, and make sure you include your travel expenses.”

“It won't be cheap since I, the boss, drove to you personally,” he teased.

Christina burst out laughing at that. “Of course.” She stared out the window and saw it was almost evening soon. “Why don't you take a rest here tonight? I'll book a room for you.”

“Sure. The hotel | stayed at was not bad. I've already booked a room with them,”

Sheridan said. He didn't want to put Christina in a difficult spot. It could easily be misinterpreted if other people learned she had booked a room for him under her name.

Another wave of gratefulness washed over Christina. Sheridan was always putting others before himself. She didn't feel burdened when she was with him.

They paid for their coffee and left the café. They had just stepped out when a motorbike drove toward Christina. It moved fast, and in the blink of an eye, the bike appeared before Christina.

The person in the backseat reached out and snatched her purse. Immediately after, the bike sped away from the scene.

Shocked, Christina staggered backward, and Sheridan quickly moved forward to steady her. “Are you okay, Christina?”

“I'm fine, but my purse was snatched away!” Her heart was still thumping loudly as the scene from that moment flashed through her mind.

It didn't seem that those two on the bike had decided to rob her then and there.

Rather, it seemed that they had been watching her and waiting for the right moment because a woman was carrying a luxury bag beside her. Yet, they had chosen to rob the one with an unknown brand.

“They might be targeting the flash drive in your bag,” Sheridan suggested nervously.

“Fortunately, | didn't put it into my bag earlier. | was worried | would lose it, so | put the flash drive in the pocket of my pants.” Christina instinctively reached down and patted her pocket. Good, it's still here.

She heaved a sigh of relief at that. Could Anya have sent those people?

“What are you doing?” A cold voice sounded, interrupting Christina's thoughts.

Nathaniel saw how Sheridan was holding her. His scorching gaze looked as though it was about to burn Christina.

Sheridan quickly let go of his hand that was holding Christina. “We encountered a robber earlier. Christina almost got hurt,” he explained calmly.

Nathaniel grabbed the woman's hand and pulled her to his side. He looked her up and down before saying, “You must be really free, Mr. Stone. Don't you have to oversee things at your office in Hallsbay?”

Christina's face darkened. fs Nathaniel implying that Sheridan is so free that he comes looking for me every day? Does this b*stard know what he's saying? Has he ever thought about how disrespectful it is to me when he's speaking like that to my friend?
