Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 577

At that moment, Nathaniel seemed terrifying. However, in Christina's eyes, he was no different from a paper tiger.

She was aware that, without Nathaniel's permission, she wouldn't be able to meet Miranda, no matter what.

As Nathaniel removed his coat and draped it on Christina's body, she stuffed her frigid hands into his waist with a grin. “Why are you scaring her? If you frighten her, where will you find a wife for Sebastian?”

Sebastian, who was crossing the threshold, almost slipped and fell.

Just as he was about to provide an explanation, he turned around and saw the couple hugging each other lovingly. Hence, he went toa quiet spot for a smoke instead.

Unkindly, Nathaniel remarked, “Instead of paying attention to other people, you should worry about yourself first. I won't be so nice this time after you left the hospital behind my back.”

Miranda wasn't an important figure, so he didn't assign many bodyguards to watch over her.

The old residential area was about to be demolished, so all residents in the area had relocated somewhere else. Thus, there would rarely be anyone there.

It was still unknown whether Miranda was acting on someone else's order, so any accident could happen next.

Upon learning Christina was in the slum, Nathaniel immediately abandoned his heavy workload to pick her up himself.

He thought he should secretly assign a few bodyguards to her, whether she wanted to or not.

Guiltily, Christina replied, “The longer this matter drags out, the more unfavorable the situation will become to Mom and me. Besides, I didn't come here alone. I brought Victoria with me, and she's pretty good at fighting. She can protect me.”

Nathaniel scoffed. “What did you find out?” J know Christina's temper. She won't give up until the matter is resolved. I'm not angry at her, honestly. Just little annoyed, perhaps, but I'm just glad she's safe.

“I can confirm that Miranda visited my Mom, and it's not just because of Emilia. She's definitely acting according to someone else's order, but she's very tight-lipped...” Christina proceeded to tell him about her conversation with Miranda.

Calmly, Nathaniel wrapped Christina's scarf tightly. “Sebastian's quite skilled at interrogation. Let him handle this while you and I return to the hospital. It's windy here, and the temperature drops during the afternoon. I don't want to see you getting sick.”

Christina insisted, “Let's wait a little longer. If Miranda still refuses to divulge anything in ten minutes, I'll go back with you.”

In response, Nathaniel respected her wishes and kept her company in the dilapidated courtyard for a few minutes.

As expected, Miranda insisted on making a deal with Christina. Otherwise, she wouldn't reveal anything.

Christina couldn't stand Miranda's bad habit, so she left with Nathaniel and allowed Sebastian to handle the rest.

After asking someone to bring a chair for him at the entrance, Sebastian sat on it and smoked for a few hours.

Miranda's nerves were frayed. Additionally, she was tired, hungry, and worried about Emilia's safety. A few hours later, she was reaching her limit.

“Feel free to do what Christina asked of you! Even if I die, I won't reveal a single thing!” She barked at Sebastian, who had been staring at her for several hours.

Smirking, Sebastian extinguished the cigarette in his hand by tossing it to the ground and stepping on it. Then, he stood, spurring the bodyguard behind him to deliver him a phone.
