Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 199 A Slap From Christina

“Have the lawyer get ready, Nathaniel. I want Gideon arrested if he doesn’t pay up in three days. Cancel all of Emilia’s advertisement jobs, and take back all the money invested in the Steele family. From now on, I am no longer associated with the Steele family!” Christina said coldly as she turned around and started walking toward the door.

“This was all Miranda’s idea, so you should only hold her accountable! Please don’t take your anger out on me, Christina! I’m your father!” Gideon pleaded.

I will be truly done for if the Hadley family takes their money back!

Noticing that Christina was still adamant about taking action against them, Gideon continued, “If you’re still angry at her, I could divorce her so you won’t have to see her ever again!”

What? Divorce?

Miranda was so enraged that she fell off the bed while hurling abuse at Gideon. She looked so miserable. and wretched that one would not have guessed she used to be a wealthy lady.

“What happens between you two is none of my business,” Christina replied as she brushed Gideon’s arm aside and dragged Nathaniel out of there.

Gideon had wanted to chase after her, but Sebastian blocked his path.

As such, he had no choice but to take his anger out on Miranda instead. “You b*tch! Look what you’ve done! You’ve ruined everything! I’ll kill you!”

“I want a divorce, Gideon!”

As the two of them were being really loud, those who passed by the ward were able to hear them arguing.

Christina made sure that Sharon was well taken care of before returning to Scenic Garden Manor.

She blamed herself for everything that happened.

Nathaniel felt his heart ache when he entered the room and saw her sitting on the couch all by herself.

He walked up to her and comforted her by saying, “Don’t worry; I’ve already hired the best doctors to look after your mother. She’ll be fine.”

Christina nodded. “She wouldn’t have gotten hurt if I had spent more time with her.”

“The lawyer has already sent out the documents requesting Steele Group to pay us, but you can still take it back if you want to.” Nathaniel knew she wasn’t a cold–hearted. person.
