A Crazy Night Novel

“This is a well-planned murder.” Sebastian donned a somber look on his face. “There aren’t any signs of braking at the scene, and the driver wasn’t breaking any traffic laws. Although they found traces of alcohol in his blood, it’s still under limits.”

He could not imagine what would happen if that car had seemed completely fine before they left. Christina would have been in the accident, and she would have died with the baby. He wondered if Nathaniel would lose his mind.

Meanwhile, Christina started mulling over the matter.

She had crossed quite a number of people lately, with Nigel’s family hating her the most. She had forced them to a dead end, so it would not be a stretch to assume that Nigel might want to come after her.

She then asked Sebastian. “Who do you think is the likeliest to be behind this?”

It was a difficult question, for there were too many suspects he could list. Without clear clues, he could not come to a proper conclusion.

“Mr. Nigel and his family might be after you,” Sebastian started. Then, he added, “Warren Yackley, Anya’s patron, is a suspect too.”

Warren Yackley!

Christina had nearly forgotten about that man. Anya despised her, and she was willing to forgo her principles to get a patron so that she could get out of her troubled situation.

However, Anya was also a manipulative woman. It would not be impossible for her to use Warren to get rid of Christina.

After a while of rumination, Christina realized that it was likelier that Anya was the one behind the accident.

Nigel and Yerek were too preoccupied with rejoining the Stone family and getting investors for the failing company. It was unlikely that they would have the time to come after her yet.

Christina hummed and said. “Let’s not board the plane.”

Christina did not find it safe to have Timothy stay in Hallsbay alone. Gibson Corporation had just revived itself, and she could not let anything go wrong.

Her survival in this accident meant that there would be another attempt on her life.
