A Crazy Night Novel

Emilia wrote: That’s right. Barnaby wanted to snatch the evidence from my hands. I tried to use the evidence to blackmail him for money but ended up on his hit list instead. It was during my escape that I bumped into Sheridan.

She was trembling as she wrote, causing the notebook to make a loud snapping sound with each stroke of her pen.

She continued to write: Sheridan’s appearance was no coincidence. He had been tracking both Barnaby and me. He feared the evidence in my possession and sought to eliminate me. It was he who severed my tongue, rendering me unable to speak. He also demanded that I surrender the evidence, but little did he know I had swallowed it beforehand. Taking advantage of his men’s drunken state, I managed to kill them and escape. Christina, Sheridan will never spare anyone who knows about the existence of that evidence. What happened to Victoria and I was just the beginning. Only you can save us now. If you help me, I will surrender myself to the authorities. I’ve had dealings with Winston and David, and I’ve also cooperated with Yerek. I know all of their secrets, and I’m willing to testify in court!

It was evident that Emilia had reached a point of desperation. With nowhere else to go after her escape, she sought refuge with Victoria, only to discover that the latter was also embroiled in a series of troubles. In fact, the woman was in an even more dire situation than her.

With no choice left, she had initially planned to find a place to hide, but in her moments of despair, she unexpectedly caught sight of Christina emerging from Victoria’s villa.

At that moment, only one thought crossed her mind. I need to stay alive… I must survive!

Emilia noticed how Christina was staying silent, so she continued writing: Sheridan used that evidence to blackmail Nigel into doing his bidding. In fact, his seemingly innocent approach to you was nothing more than a calculated scheme! Sheridan is an incredibly ambitious man, and after being defeated by Nathaniel, he is desperate to make a comeback. He wants to start by bringing down Gibson Corporation before gradually eroding Hadley Corporation’s power. I swear, everything I’ve told you tonight is true, and I would face a fate worse than death if I were to deceive you in any way.

Compared to the woman’s oath, Christina was more concerned about the whereabouts of that evidence.

As such, she asked, “So, where’s that evidence now?”

Emilia eagerly took out a flash drive and handed it to Christina before writing: I’ve only glanced through the contents, and I haven’t tampered with anything. Christina, you’ll help me, won’t you?

She added several question marks at the end of her sentence.

“I can save your life, but for now, the safest place for you is the police station,” came Christina’s reply.

When she saw Emilia trembling at the mention of the police station, she added coldly, “Didn’t you promise to surrender yourself and testify in court? Well, it’s not too late to change your mind now, but know that once you leave this place, you may not live to see tomorrow.

Emilia was well aware that once Sheridan had chosen his prey, escape would become a near-impossible feat. It was precisely this understanding that compelled her to turn to Christina for help.
