A Crazy Night Novel

Christina’s mood was not ruined because of what happened. She returned to her work instead.

Even though Lyle had taught Azure a lesson, he did not eradicate all potential troubles. That was not his style.

After contemplating for a long while, Lyle asked, “Mrs. Hadley, do you need me to send someone to keep an eye on Mrs. Lazuli?”

Christina closed the file and replied, “There’ll be no need to. She’s too busy dealing with Nigel and has no time to cause me trouble.” She thought about it before continuing, “We need to keep an eye on Old Mr. Stone. Nigel is his son. For all we know, Barnaby may be helping Mrs. Lazuli. If anyone from the Stone family comes and looks for me during this period, turn them away.”

Christina had to sort out the Gibson family’s problems and was also preparing to restart her design studio these days. There was no way she had the time or energy to deal with the Stone family.

Sadly, it was not up to her as Barnaby showed up that evening.

“Mrs. Hadley, Old Mr. Stone is here. He says that he has to meet you today. Otherwise, he won’t leave,” informed Lyle.

At that moment, Christina was watering the plants. She paused and put down the watering can, then turned around and looked at Lyle. “Let him in.”

Christina had just only moved into the mansion that Timothy had arranged for her that afternoon. She did not expect Barnaby to look for her there.

Christina did not think Barnaby would be there so soon.

Not long after, Lyle led Barnaby into the living room. Christina was seated on the couch with a pair of scissors in her hand, arranging the flowers.

“Lyle, please bring some tea.
