A Crazy Night Novel

Christina’s face darkened instantly. “I’ll take care of it, Grandma.”

Azure nodded in understanding and refrained from causing any further difficulties for her.

Christina shot up from her seat and said, “I’m full, Grandma. I’m heading upstairs now.”

She turned around and glared at Anya before making her way up.

Upon returning to her room, Christina eagerly opened her laptop to search for Anya’s financial statements. However, to her surprise, she discovered that all the statements had been covertly altered, leaving almost no trace of any discrepancies to be found.

She knew something was amiss with the figures, but there was nothing she could do.

After replying to the text, Christina took a shower and rested for the night.

Sunlight streamed through the window as Sheridan sat in his chair, dressed in a sleek suit and a deep blue striped tie, exuding an elegant and modest charm.

When Christina approached, he greeted her with a gentle smile and asked, “What would you like to drink? This café serves excellent coffee.”

Christina ordered a latte, and as they engaged in casual conversation, she finally brought up the question. “Sheridan, how does your company charge if your client wants to conduct financial investigations?”

“It depends on the circumstances and the client’s needs. Are you in need of such services?” Sheridan’s gaze deepened as he responded with another question.
