A Crazy Night Novel

“Miranda only had one daughter, and that’s Emilia,” Christina answered with absolute certainty.

It was precisely because of this that Christina found Melanie’s behavior peculiar, and why she decided to lure the woman into a trap.

“Now that Melanie has been caught once, it may not be easy to get hold of any evidence against her in the future,” Victoria pointed out worriedly.

If Christina hadn’t intervened and calmed the situation earlier, Victoria’s hot temper might have escalated, potentially pressuring Melanie into confessing or revealing more information.

“As long as her goals remain unachieved, she will eventually lose patience and take action. Let’s wait patiently. Perhaps we will get something unexpected,” Christina advised.

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of a car engine could be heard outside the mansion.

Victoria’s excitement surged through her like a dose of adrenaline. Without a moment’s hesitation, she leaped up from the couch and dashed outside, her voice filled with joy as she shouted, “Sebastian is here! He’s here to pick me up!”

When the mansion’s door swung open from the outside. Sebastian was taken by surprise as someone crashed into him. Before he could react, a pair of arms were wrapped around his waist.

A familiar scent instantly filled the air, and as Sebastian lowered his head, he met a pair of glistening reddened eyes.

“Seb!” Victoria sobbed. “I’ve missed you so much!”

Sebastian’s heart swelled as he held Victoria in his arms. Ignoring any onlookers, including Nathaniel who might be observing them, he spoke with a hoarse voice. “Why did you run like that? What if you had gotten hurt?”

He felt a surge of relief wash over him, grateful that it was him who had opened the door and not Nathaniel. The thought of witnessing Nathaniel and Victoria embracing each other was something he couldn’t bear to see.

Victoria muttered, “I just wanted to see you as soon as possible.”

Sebastian’s heart was filled with warmth, and a trace of delight shimmered in his gentle gaze.
